It definitely did not disappoint. It's a cute little local bistro. Super cozy and warm with a super friendly staff! The food is good and the coffee drinks are delicious!! It's on the pricey side but understandable since I'm sure they get a lot of visitors. Why not charge more? It's a place to check out if you are staying up in Arnold!

We were really excited to try breakfast one morning during our trip. Unfortunately, it ended up…read morebeing a disappointing experience. The espresso machine was out, which wasn't a huge deal since drip coffee was available, but the coffee itself was honestly pretty bad. It also didn't help that we were told the flavored syrup drinks were basically the same as their espresso specialty drinks, but it tasted like water down drip coffee. I ordered the French toast plate and my partner got the biscuits and gravy. The bacon seemed undercooked, the pancakes were dry, the biscuits and gravy were burnt, and the gravy itself was runny. Overall, for a meal that ended up being over $50 with tip, we were really disappointed with the quality.

The service was great! Everyone was kind, friendly and attentive. It felt like visiting a friend's house with the added bonus of a delicious meal. The food selection is great. A unique take on some everyday comfort foods. Between the three of us we had the chicken fried steak omelette, delicious crispy bacon, homemade biscuits served with house made honey butter and jam, and delicious French toast. Pricing is fair, food quality is excellent and portions are generous. We had an overall great experience. This will be our go-to breakfast spot!! A definite must try!!

Saw very good selections there. I saw on weekend, there is long line to go to eat in this restaurant. Highly recommended.

Even though it was late on a Tuesday the patio was still busy. We got a nice table outside because it was a beautiful day and we had our GSD with us. Shared the beet salad and the chicken burrito and also a kids hamburger with fries for the pup ( fries were for us). PROTIP: We took the option to split each dish by the kitchen and although it cost a couple bucks more, you get a little more of everything! Beet salad was solid with perfect allocations of all ingredients. I would say it was a bit heavy on the dressing but I like minimal dressing and my partner said it was perfect so there you go. The burrito was "wet" and delicious! Lots of flavor fresh ingredients and very saucy. Only thing it lacked was a little heat. Ask for tapatio if you like a little spice. The hamburger by the way, was larger than a normal hamburger you get on the kiddie menu. And the fries were piping hot and fresh. Our dog loved the burger as he should and we downed all the fries. Highly recommend and will be back!

This review is for the Giant Sequoia Sandwich:…read more The review would have been better if I had a picture but I was hungry and my half of the sandwich was so good that I ate 3/4ths of it before I even drank anything! My husband was even quicker. After visiting Calaveras Big Trees State Park on a colder Monday in October, we made a stop at their deli because we remembered eating a sandwich there 10 years ago or so. Our memory served us well as the Giant Sequoia sandwich was fabulous: Dutch Crunch bread, bacon, avacado, turkey, lettuce, tomato, and more. The service was quick and the sandwich was great. Perfect combination!

I walked into Big Trees Market at 6:50 PM last night (3/31) to grab a few quick items. There were…read morestill multiple customers shopping--completely normal. At 7:01, an announcement came on saying the store had been closed for one minute and to head to the register. Totally fair. I needed one more thing from produce so I hurried- another announcement at 7:02 said to "stop shopping- we are closed" I grabbed my last item and went up front. By 7:03, I was already being checked out. And yet the reaction from staff was... unbelievable. There were several employees standing at the front just staring at me--clearly irritated, like I'd personally ruined their evening. It was three minutes past closing. Not 30. Not 15. Three. Then it somehow got worse. They were out of bags (understandable), so I asked if I could use the hand basket to carry my items to my car, which was literally parked right in front of the doors to the store. I was told no, "these baskets cant leave the store"--and that I needed to go outside and get a cart instead. So I had to run out, grab a cart, and come back in... while the entire staff stood there watching me. There must have been 6 or 7 employees glaring at me with dirty looks like I had insulted them personally. The older checker was grumpy and rude, but honestly the whole team contributed to making the experience feel hostile and unwelcoming. I completely understand wanting to close on time. But if ringing someone up at 7:03 feels like a crisis to your staff, that's a management issue--not a customer problem. Also- why not sell reusable bags if you run out of bags so often? I would have bought one to make it faster for me to exit the store. Seems like a simple solution to avoid the extreme stress your staff is experiencing

I have tried a few things on there menu, all look so good tho. I really like the breakfast burrito, with bacon. IT WAS SOOO GOOD! It hast to be one of my Fav breakfast Burrito since last time I can remember. The proportions were all perfect, egg, cheese, bacon, and maybe a little more spice if you are into that, I like it either way... I might add avocado if they could, sure small fee but thats a given and have you seen the prices of food these days.. lol Service , Hands down all the girls I talked to while we got breakfast, were super friendly, busy but were nice when i asked for a few other things, and then coming to get my order... ** This Business is more of point of sale or window order I guess? , and pick up, not waited on.

The morning offerings of muffins, croissants, scones, and cinnamon rolls has failed me. I will say the sandwiches are decent, but nothing to write home to. The smoothies used to epic, but they now fall flat. I'm think they are not using all the fruit as the old owners did. As for the staff....a little rude and it seemed like no one wanted to wipe the tables down. It's a cute place, but if I had a choice I would skip it and seek life elsewhere for some morning substance.
