A family group overnight jaunt to Nevada City yielded lots of time to stroll around Sunday evening…read moreand Monday until mid-day. By the time we arrived Sunday, shops were starting to close up. Glad that The Truffle Shop was open on Monday when I stopped in looking for some shade an a cooler spot to be for a bit. The collection of hand-crafted truffles was not only beautiful and wildly unique with its flavor profiles, but complimented by the artistic space of the petite shop. It was all a visual delight, before even getting to choosing the chocolates. As it was a warm day, I didn't order as many as I might have otherwise as I was sure that the truffle treats would melt before we could enjoy them properly - savoring each tasty bite. I did get a dark chocolate/cherry one for me, and Matcha tea flavor for Dear Hubby, who wasn't with me at the time. I had a nice chat with the gentleman running the shop. He may have been the owner, coming from the back with a tray of more truffles to fill out the display cases. Thankfully on a warm afternoon, they had chilled bottled water for sale, too. After making my purchase and taking a few photos of the whimsical interior, I sat and enjoyed my truffle at the little bistro table in the outside hallway. It was a perfect little respite before more strolling on Broad Street again.

While walking the street I saw this small section of shops and found this small store. They have a…read morelot of little truffles and even had a few gluten free items which is always nice. I got a small cake. My friend got an eclair that he liked a lot. The prices are fair and there are some tables you can sit at outside of the store.

My Dad lives in Grass Valley and every time I come up from the Bay Area this is where I eat…read more Now, caveat, he's in his 70s and thinks a $19 sandwich with housemade meats on craft bread is absolutely outrageous, he would be just as happy eating at Subway. There's nothing wrong with his opinion, I don't eat that garbage, but if you can't tell or don't care about quality (yes, I'm being snarky, but seriously, if you're going to complain you have options...) Anyhow, this is where I come to eat, I always pay, and he complains about the price of the sandwich (I paid for) while he eats all of his sandwich and then finishes mine- it is also a lot of food, usually two meals for me, but I'm not a voracious eater. If you're still here after my rant, the food here is quality, you're going to pay more, you're going to wait for it to be prepared, because its not some cafeteria conveyer belt sandwich- it's crafted. The shop is very small, ambiance is- small meat counter, the soda machine has been broken as long as I've been coming, there's no indoor dining. I know, I'm not selling it. BUT Outside you have outdoor tables under the trees, there are birds singing, it feels completely Nevada City, much preferred to eating inside. Typically I order the Reuben and I think that's their best sandwich, but I've also tried the Roast Beef, Italian Ham, and Turkey. I know I mentioned their soda machine is broken, but they have plenty of sodas in a cooler as well as a few very good sides- I'm partial to the Dijon potato salad. So final thoughts- cheapskates with broken tastebuds stay home, let the real ones eat.

Got a Reuben. 21 bucks after tax. I have no issue paying high prices if the qualities is on point…read more But it wasn't quite there. The pastrami was just a super lean flat instead of a whole brisket, so it was dry and pretty puny. Quality of the bread was really high, but overall it just didn't come together. For the price tag associated with it I would definitely not recommend.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... stop rushing shoppers out.

The doors were halfway closed impeding people from leaving and coming into the store. I also don't mind bagging my own groceries, but the guy who rang us up did only that, leaving our things on the conveyor belt as he just walked away. Who are you hiring? We've shopped at SPD for 32 years and we have always preferred it to anywhere else in town, but this nonsense is getting old. Do better.

The decor is wall-to-wall sweets! They have inside seating and one table outside. No public restroom in view. They have old school nostalgic classic candies you enjoyed as a kid like candy/bubble gum cigarettes, salt water taffy, wax lips, and miners gold bags. Check out their chocolates, caramel apples, and fudge. If your looking for a different sweet treat, they have a variety of flavored ice creams with hot fudge or caramel sauces and soda pop. The store owners are nice and friendly. Support your local business!

I wish I could give them more stars but the place has gone downhill since I visited about 5 years…read moreago. Visited August 15th. I came in here as I was in the area and wanted to get their tuna salad which used to be screaming! The lady said I would have to wait 20 minutes for them to make it so I passed. Then I said I will just have a coffee. She said she has to make another pot..5 to 10 minutes. GEEZ! I was the only one in the deli! Unfortunately they did not have alot of items to choose from. Very minimal fish selection. They transformed their dining area to accommodate Suishi in the raw but does not open until 430 pm. Hopefully that generates some business! I hope they can clean up the place and have a bigger selection. I will continue to go to the larger and newer organic grocery store in Grass Valley in the meantime.

A few things you can expect to find: - Homeopathic meds on the shelf - clean personal care products - tons of organic foods -limited ingredient items - nontoxic cleaning products Keep in mind, you need to do your own research and read labels yourself. You'll be surprised to find lots of healthier options, although there are a few greenwashed labels hiding on the shelves. But, so nice for the community to have a place like this to shop! They also have a prepared food area (think like whole foods) for quick meals on the go. With stainless silverware to borrow, since they avoid plastics!

No prob!) and the kids toy section for when you're en route to a birthday party!

It would be nice if this place wasn't so adamant about enforcing mask wearing on its customers. I…read morewas already at the counter being rung out with my few items when a lady started demanding I wear one. I said how I've already been walking around the entire store shopping without one so I'll just pay and leave now and she said they would refuse my money before letting me pay for the items unless a mask with strapped to my face How about just letting it be done with since I am already literally about to walk out and reminding me next time there is a mask rule at this particular store (not all stores are like this) instead of being rather irate and causing a scene? They also charge a 5% tax for Covid-19 Employee Hazard Pay. You can opt out if you happen to read their little sign by the register and know about it but they conveniently don't mention it while making the payment......like literally every other single donation based program does. So it's basically a surprise tax that you either just deal with afterwards or look petty asking for it back because it takes it away from the employees. How about just pay your employees more money because you're a grocery store that clearly makes good profit? And maybe a tip jar so people can do so at their leisure? Does all that 5% really actually even go to employees? Certainly won't be shopping here again. Shame cause they actually h e some nice stuff that I didn't see in the other stores.
