Customer Service could be more friendly, that's my only issue. They need to smile an and be excited when people come through the door. The last two times we've walked in and just stood there waiting for someone to come out and greet us. To me, Great Customer Service is key. But they did have good food which I appreciate. We will go for the 3rd time and see if their attitudes have changed for the better. My fingers are crossed because we'd love to give them more business and get the word of mouth out to the local community.

I've been a few times now and mostly enjoy the experience. Minus a star because they are so. slow. Which I can't match up because all the ingredients you select from are pre-made.

It's good, but do not recommend if there's a line (especially this time of year - the sun coming through the window on the line is brutal!).

Happy Apple Kitchen is nestled between Colfax and Grass Valley. It's a short little drive that…read moreinstantly makes me feel like I'm on vacation, very close to the lake too. It has a very homey feel, the staff is welcoming and treats you like family. Eating outside is very relaxing in the shade, perfect spot to stop by with your dog. The patio outside is very nice and inside is cool on a hot summer day. I've had a hamburger here a couple times, it's 5 stars, you can tell the quality of the grass fed meat. Family also tried the fish and chips and the chicken strips, my hamburger was wayyyyy better. The tartar sauce was homemade and very good. The onion rings were outstanding! The fries weren't that interesting. Took home a peach vanilla shake, and it was fresh, floral and creamy, perfect for a hot summer day. We got dessert to bring home , everything was really good, however, the Apple cake for $12 stood out and I will be back for that alone. If you blink, you will miss this place.

Grew up in Nevada County and somehow never realized Alta was this little community tucked away in…read morethe mountains! I was out this way doing some work when I stumbled across this eatery and figured I'd stop in for a drink. Well... that drink turned into ordering The Powerhouse breakfast - eggs, country potatoes, bacon, and buttered sourdough toast. EPIC meal!! Everything tasted fresh, hearty, and comforting. Those country potatoes especially took me straight back to mornings camping in the mountains - crispy, flavorful, and seriously good. The whole plate hit my tastebuds with a slap of goodness The restaurant itself was clean, quaint, and welcoming with that cozy, no-frills small-town feel that's getting harder to find. And the staff? Extremely warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming - exactly the kind of hospitality you hope to stumble across in a little mountain community. One of those unexpected roadside finds that makes you glad you stopped. If you're passing through Alta and need to rest, refuel, and get a damn good breakfast, pull over and give this joint a try. I'll definitely remember this place next time work brings me through!

Tried this spot for the first time. Was excited to find something new in the area! Yay!!…read more This place offers small tapas type meals. We ordered it by DoorDash. They have nice to-go containers, but be careful because they do leak! Depending on the dish. The paper bag got a little grease on it, so beware of your seats (if Togo!) The organic corn cake was amazing in my dish. I really enjoyed that. Nice job! The dish I got was Arepa de la Casa, and it all went well together. If your party is ordering individually, don't order this alone, because it requires to be paired with another dish that has a protein. It's more of an accompaniment, not a meal. My partner got the Steelhead Trout. This dish is more of a meal. He did enjoy. He was convinced it was salmon. It did look like salmon and it kind of tasted like it too! Haha We decided to share the Chicken Adobo. The thigh chicken --by placing my fork to eat, fell right off and onto my fork. It looked moist! However, upon eating, it was extremely dry!!! Bone dry! Which was very surprising how moist it looked! The flavors were good otherwise, so a little disappointed. But the good news, that can be fixed! The rice underneath had a nice flavor too. If I recall, it was more of a wet rice. His brother got the Arepas Rellenas: Carne Desmechada. Also more of a meal. Now on this dish, the protein (brisket) was very present, but for $24 it should be! It was basically the same size as my dish for $14. We should have shared, but I don't care for brisket! Haha I think in this meal you would want to have more of the accompaniments to even it out. So I suggest to order the Arepa de la Casa to go with it. I love what they're doing. I love how the menu is limited, which can be good or bad. I think I want try it again with the perspective of blending some of the plates together and hopefully the chicken cook time improves. :) I wish this spot the best of luck!

Happy Easter everyone!…read more Today, my daughter and I went out to breakfast here at Sweetpeas. It is located off the freeway on the corner of Bowman and Luther roads. There was plenty of parking when we pulled in. As you walk in, you seat yourself. I hadn't been here before, but my daughter has. When we sat down (table and chairs kinda place), one server got us a couple of waters while we were looking over the menu.. perfect, because that's what we love to drink. After we decided on what we wanted I got a chance to look around at the decor on the walls. It felt very family friendly with baby pictures on the walls, signs, coffee mugs along the restaurants name spelled out on the wall. It was very cute and cozy. My daughter ordered the Carnitas Omelet (Carnitas omelet with jack cheese, black beans, red onions, avocado, and black olives, topped with sour cream. Served with sourdough toast and fresh fruit) with strawberries. I ordered the Huevos Ranchero's with eggs over medium (Corn tortillas, refried beans, 2 eggs, sour cream, avocado, homemade salsa, and cheese cheese. Also served with a side of salsa.) We didn't wait long, it arrived within 10 minutes. Also, after smelling their delicious coffee, I had to have a cup! A+!!!! My daughter let me try her Carnitas Omelet. Their Carnitas is on point! It was tender and has great flavor! Her omelet was beautifully cooked, being that it was gorgeous, yellow and fluffy. My Huevos Ranchero's was crispy in the bottom as I requested. I love the topping of avocado. The only thing I would change is to get all the salsa on the side. There was quite a bit on the Huevos Ranchero's themselves and it was a little overwhelming. Next time, I'll order it completely on the side. The menu has it listed as homemade... it tasted a little bit like it was Pace chunky salsa. I didn't even touch the side of salsa that also comes in the side and I wasn't sure what the extra side of tortillas was for, but I took those home. My daughter took home about half of her 3 egg omelet and some toast. Maddy was a great server. Everyone helped each other out by doing coffee refills for all tables (not just their own), running out hot food, and helping clean up tables as people finished their plates. Great team work! We paid up in the front and we're on our way. BE SURE TO TIP YOUR SERVER FOR ALL THEIR HARD WORK!
