Best maple latte ever! I was so pleasantly surprised by it. Amazing, no notes. My blueberry lemon scone was also 10/10. Not to mention this is just a cute space for breakfast that's clearly a community hot spot for gathering on a Sunday morning. read more

Communal Cafe is a very spacious place. I was surprised how long it went back when I first walked in. The vibe was very calm and peaceful. A lot of tables and chairs to sit down and relax.

I was visiting a friend who just moved to Nevada City and we had lunch here. Such a cute place. Fun seating options. Good food and drinks. I had the Turkey Sandwich: turkey- onions-fig preserve- arugula-aioli-sourdough-house salad. This was delicious. Fresh roasted turkey. Loved the caramelized onions and fig preserve. Nice salad on the side. My friend had the Mediterranean toast. She really liked her meal too. Staff was friendly and helpful. A nice, local place. read more

Communal Cafe - Turkey sandwich with salad - Cafes Near Me - Nevada City, California

Okay it was cold .... it was crowded ... and we needed a place to eat at Victorian Christmas. We found it and that is the Communal Cafe. My wife and I had the Turkey Sanwhich with dates and it was fabulous. We had plenty of seating for our party of eight and the people working the tables were awesome. My only critique was the gentlemen working the front taking your order was less than inspired to be there and when you asked him a question he seemed bothered (He acted like a south pole elf). My wife and I went to the lady who was working the other side of the counter and she was quite helpful. The bathrroms were well stocked and cleaned and the staff as a whole were helpful and even answered questions for us where certain things were located on the street. We will try this location again. read more

Communal Cafe - Half of a turkey sandwich and Half of BLTA. Comes with a side salad - Cafes Near Me - Nevada City, California

Very friendly staff and clean setup. I like the open atmosphere and style. They have local art on the walls and Knick knacks for sale. My friend and I went on a Thursday morning and it was moderately crowded. We got a lattes: one lavender and one rose. They were both delicious. The rose was sweeter than the lavender which I wasn't expecting. These are regularly priced $4-5 I got the avocado toast and she got a Parmesan-egg omelette on toast. It took about 15 mins for the god to come but I could tell it was made fresh. I loved my avo toast with micro-greens & boiled egg. My friend did not love her Parmesan egg toast & said the Dijon mustard was a bit overpowering. We will be back, but prob just for coffees and bakery items! read more

The kind of place that LOCATION & DECOR: Right on the corner of 233 Broad Street in Nevada City, Communal Cafe feels like the heart of the town. Light floods the space, bouncin' off rustic wood tables and leafy greenery, makin' it feel fresh yet warm. It's the kinda place where you can sit down to work, meet up with someone for a quick chat, or just enjoy watchin' the day roll by. A lil' slice of community in every corner. FOOD & DRINK: Avocado Toast: This one's a classic for a reason. A thick layer of creamy avo, sprinkled with fresh microgreens and a lil' squeeze of citrus--it's simplicity done right. Lavender Coffee: Smooth, aromatic, and just the right hint of floral to make you stop and savor it. It's like drinkin' a moment of calm. Churro Donuts (aka Churronuts): I don't know why they don't call these churronuts, but they should. They're crispy on the outside, soft and cinnamon-sweet inside--straight-up addictive. Seasonal Salad: Light, fresh, and packed with roasted veggies and greens. It's a feel-good kinda dish that doesn't skimp on flavor. PRICE: For $15-$20, you're gettin' solid portions and thoughtful, high-quality eats. It ain't cheap, but for what you're gettin', it's worth every penny. SWAG/AMENITIES: Buy-at-the-counter service (keepin' it simple) Bust-your-own-table setup, but with an eye for care and detail in everything they serve Plenty of seating options (bar height, table style, outdoor seating) Strong Wi-Fi for gettin' work done Pet-friendly outdoor vibes STAFF & EXPERIENCE: You order at the counter, grab your spot, and take care of bussin' your own table, but that doesn't mean the care's missin'. The food is crafted with intention, the presentation's on point, and the vibe in the space feels so thoughtful. It's got a flow that makes you wanna come back just to soak it in. Locals, travelers, workers, dreamers--everyone's welcome here, and it shows. read more

Communal Cafe - Clean your own tables - Cafes Near Me - Nevada City, California

Great place for a light breakfast! Visited August 18th..see receipt. I was craving avocado on toast after an early morning walk and I found it! Located on Broad Street in the heart of downtown Nevada City. The avocado on toast was big and full of avocados and sprouts with smeared pesto and pickled onions on sourdough bread. I could only eat half of it! BEST avocado on toast to date! I also enjoyed a lavender coffee which was so tasty ( anything lavender is my fav!). They have other items such as bakery items and bowls. Healthy eats! It looks like they serve beer as well ( see pic). They sell beans..honey and merch. It's clean and roomy inside..Great place to bring your laptop or meet friends! Cool and relaxing atmosphere! Great addition to Nevada City! Btw.. They open at 7am! read more

I went to this cafe for the first time today and ordered a turkey sandwich. The sandwich comes with mayonnaise which I don't eat, so I asked for it without the mayonnaise and asked for mustard instead. This cafe apparently doesn't carry mustard? They have several sandwiches on the menu but the only condiment they have available is mayonnaise. I've never even heard of eating a sandwich without mustard. It would have been a good sandwich if there was mustard available but without it, it was sub par. Oddly enough, they offer ketchup if you order a hamburger. On another note, they also only have whole milk available for their lattes! Who, over the age of 2 drinks whole milk?? read more

This place has absolutely delicious Matcha, summer drinks, and incredible bowls of fresh veggies. They have the most delicious vegan maple donuts too! The service is really great and fast. The place is always crowded, but has a really great ambience that is eclectic, chill and relaxed. This is such a great find in a small mountain town. I will be going back to this place every time I'm in Nevada City! read more

We were in Nevada City for a few days for their Victorian Christmas celebration, and stopped in every morning and afternoon. Very large (deep) joint that seems to go on forever. Lots of varied seating from large communal long tables to small two-tops, comfy couches, wing chairs with end tables, etc. A good offering of traditional espresso drinks and alternatives, as well as a full sandwich / breakfast / lunch menu. Each day we sampled several of the food and bev options and really couldn't find any fault with anything we were served. The vibe is very relaxed and chill, and dug the entire experience. Really is a go-to coffee spot when you're in Nevada City. read more

Super Popular and great Scratch Made pastries. Their coffee is also tasty!! It's a large place, so it would be great for a larger group of people. Their Almond Croissant was THE BEST I've ever had! We can't wait to go back!!' read more

Best coffee in the area. Before moving to the Grass Valley/Nevada City area I basically tried every coffee place- hands down Communal Cafe has the most consistently delicious brews! Their teas are also delightful. They take their time so if you want Starbucks fast and crappy- this is not for you..! read more

Overall the experience was okay! The food and drinks were okay. A friend and I got overcharged (by about $20). The employees knew it happened and instead of correcting it, they just remade part of our order and didn't let us know they had overcharged until I went back and asked for a receipt :( it was pretty cute inside though and definitely busy. A lot of the locals recommended us to try other coffee shops in town so we're going to do that next time! read more

It looked to be a coffee shop from the outside and just coming in the door, but the menu offered an array of fresh bakery items and some really fun breakfast and lunch dishes. We had a potato bowl, mushroom toast and a cinnamon cookie with a hot Chico chai, vanilla latte and mocha latte. The drinks were beautifully done with hearts in the froth of the milk and the chai a unique blend- spicy and not too sweet. Amazing. The potato bowl was loaded with healthy ingredients like carrots, sprouts, crispy potatoes and fresh eggs. The mushroom toast was a layered delight with sautéed oyster mushrooms, spinach, roasted garlic and and egg on top! So good! What a way to start your day. Very friendly cafe with a pleasant vibe. A must see if in the area. read more

Good ambiance, chill vibes, nice variety on the menu. I got a decaf tea latte with chamomile steamed milk and honey and it was delicious. They have lots of alternative coffee and tea options and things like mushroom powder. I also had an Apple cider donut that was really yummy too. My husband got a draft beer. They also have cute things for sale from local vendors. Lots of seating too. Would happily come back read more

Very fresh and tasty dishes using local produces. Enjoyed the BLT sandwich and the Avocado toast, but the Vegan bowl really stood out with the nice mix of black mushrooms and green leaves on a bed of brown rice. That would be enough to convert this die-hard omnivore of me. read more

Excellent cafe! I've been several times for coffee and pastries. There's lots of seating and it's the perfect place to read and people watch. Today I tried the tofu bowl--it was absolutely delicious and I can't wait to have it again! Tasty large pieces of tofu on top of brown rice, mushrooms and veggies with a microgreen garnish. read more

Bummer! I usually love this place. I took two of my out of town friends here for breakfast at one of our local spots. I got the Egg Sando and they forgot the cheddar I paid $2 extra for and the sausage and my gal pals Cobb only had chicken, greens and the egg. It was a very pricey breaky with the addons (that were missing) and salad to be shorted all the best parts of the meals. We waited 45 minutes for these and an avo toast so we were too hungry to go wait in the long line to get our items corrected. The food is too expensive to have so much missing. Guess I need to pick a new spot to take my guests. It looks like this is becoming a trend there from reviews. read more

Great food great vibes. Little overpriced. Also didn't realize that asking where the water spigot and cups were was such a painful task? The cashier made it very clear that she did not give a fuck. Learn how to communicate something as simple as "just around the corner where the silver cups are" instead of pointing angrily and mumbling shitty directions read more

I enjoy the communal space - it truly feels like a "third space" that our community is in desperate need of. I haven't tried the food, but can attest that the drinks are good. Support small business! read more

That's it I'm not going here anymore, I like the place, but when you are being charged $5.50 for a cup of tea ( cup of hot water ) that's ridiculous. read more

This is a nice very chill place, with a limited menu, which I like, because what I tasted was very good. I love the fact that they serve bone broth on the menu. I consider myself a seasoned restaurant goer, plus I've worked in and owned restaurants. I've never seen any place serve bone broth on their menu. The bone broth was chicken, very delightful. The gyro was good as far as flavor goes, but it wasn't gyro, I'd call it a chicken wrap. The two minor changes I would like to see, is most of the drinks from the reach in cabinet had stevia in it. For me not only does it taste terrible, but if one does a deep dive into the subject of stevia they would never use it. And there were some annoying flys that I had to swat at. Neither one of those things bothered me enough that I would never come back. Next time I In Nevada City, I would definitely hit this place back up read more

Fun place. Definitely a local hang out. I had a great sandwich and watched a lively celebration of life. read more
