    Classic California Crepes
    Sanghoo P.

    Came in on 12/16/25 for lunch with my beautiful wife and adorable little daughter, this small cafe boasts several tables inside and couple tables outside. The waitress sat us down pretty quickly. I ordered the Classic California Crepes and my wife got the Paris Crepe. The Classic California Crepes are stuffed ham in housemade crepes with tomato and avocado slices, and on top poached eggs with housemade hollandaise sauce and sprinkled with paprika. First bite and wow! It was delicious. Shared some of my food with my toddler and she loved it too. Thank you, Nevada City Classic Cafe. We will be returning to try other things on the menu.

    Service - friendly. Ambiance - mid century nostalgic diner. Apparently also featured in a Hallmark movie along with the historic 1800's town. Old building, single bathroom and you walk by the freezer and dishwasher to get there. Food - good. My crepes were light and not overly sweet like other places. Potatoes were good, could be better.

    Small portions and high prices! I believe my dish to be the smallest crepe known to man! I was so hungry after eating here (and it was not cheap). The crepe itself was pretty bland but the yummy cheese on top saved it from complete disaster. The home fries were undercooked some were still a little hard/ firm and not crispy and we waited a really long time for the food. Would not recommend any type of brunch or breakfast here! Service was kind and friendly though.

    Avoid this place. Not worth the Hype based on service alone

    After waiting 45 minutes for a table. Understandably a busy day, I observed a family walk in to try to claim an open table who had arrived after us. I asked how much longer for our table, she told me we were next. The other family came in and started to try to help bus the table, so I walked back in. Mentioned to that woman we were next, she claimed the same. I went to clarify with the hostess, She said we were after them, so I made mention that maybe not to tell us both we were next as that causes frustration for all. I told her I understood and I went back outside. The hostess then came out, looked at us and told us she wasn't going to do this today and to find somewhere else. I get when you are busy, but customer service and consistency goes a long way. Just because you are stressed and Busy doesn't give permission to behave this way. Maybe have a better plan in place to handle the influx of Business during a Christmas event.

    Visited April 19th for breakfast..see receipt. This cute and cozy restaurant is located on Broad Street in Nevada City California. They open at 9am and close at 230pm (i think they are closed on Wednesdays). The place reminds me of a true diner! Its casual yet artful ambience fits in with the Nevada City vibe. My boyfriend and i wanted breakfast and i haven't been here in years so we decided to give it a try. GLAD we did...breakfast was good but not over filling...2 eggs with hash browns and 2 pancakes. Also added crispy bacon on the side. Pancakes were nice and fluffy, and crispy bacon is exactly what we wanted! Coffee was nice and strong and tasty. They also have mimosas and beer and wine. The location is great as its right off the freeway and you can walk to all the shops! This is also where they filmed the movie "The Christmas Card". Great experience..quick service. SEAN was very friendly and on top of taking care of the customers needs. ALFONZO did a great job cooking up the food! Definitely be back when i am in town..Have to try their famous crepes!

    Super cute little cafe. Apparently it was in the movie "Christmas Card". People kept stopping in to have their picture taken with the mural. The waiter was super cute telling everyone about the mural and makimg sure they got a good picture. Eggs Benedict with hash browns was good. Should have tried the crepes, as everybody was ordering that! Next time

    Food was bland except for an over abundance of salt on the sweet potato fries. Service was slow. $30 for a bland sandwich and a Diet Coke.

In all honesty, the hostess staff told us they could not guarantee a booth. However, when we arrived, we were told that all the booths were full, and we were seated in the main dining room. I walked into the bar to take a look at the booths and one was completely empty. Disappointing. The menu was creative and had something for everyone from meat eaters to vegetarians and vegans. Shout out to server Sierra, who was friendly and happy to make recommended and answered all of our questions with a smile. The setting is open and a little loud, but being in the National Hotel, the aesthetic flowed well with the hotel decor. The disappointing part of my party's experience was the fact that service took sooo long. We ordered an appetizer which came out with our main entrees. And drinks that we ordered before any of the food came out, came long after our meal had been served and only after we we asked what had happened to them. We were told that the bar was very busy and that's what delayed our drinks. However, with such a popular hotel, you think they would plan for this in advance. Overall, I would dine here again, but not during the busy dinner service. I would come during off hours only or be seated for dinner at 5 PM before the rush.

On both occasions I've been there they've been understaffed and the wait for ANYTHING from the servers seemed LONG. But by far my biggest complaint is the ambiance. We came at 7:00, not closing time and from the minute we sat down there were clanging dishes. banging bar stools, crashing noises coming from the bar, as things were getting cleaned up. Then came the sweeper around us and the PINE SOL smell as the floor was cleaned under our feet as we ate our dinner! I was stunned and it was nauseating. It was hard to get either of the server's attention once our food came (as there was lots of cleaning to do!) but we eventually got a to go box and our check. Lotsa luck

We ordered a house sausage pizza and to add the salami to the pizza which was a great choice loved the pizza we watched it get made right in front of us and their bacon and cheddar melt. I personally though the bacon and cheddar melt was fine I probably wouldn't order it again looking back on it just simply on the fact it was $21 and the pizza was $23 it just felt very boring and overpriced in comparison to the pizza. I do love the sustainability of this place but find it odd the water cups are plastic after all the effort put into reusable, sustainable, organic, and farm fresh It definitely eat here again especially with the fact the menu is always changing the pastries here were a hit every other table had something from the bakery or a pizza. This is a great spot to come on a date or with a bunch of friends. I haven't tried the brews here yet but I'm looking forward to it. The staff here are very sweet and food comes out quickly.

I paid because I only had an hour for lunch and needed to eat. I got my mocha and sat down to wait for my sandwich. As I waited, I noticed several people who ordered after me receiving their food while I was still sitting there. About 15 minutes later, I finally received my to-go sandwich. When I opened the container, it was obvious it had been sitting there for a while. The sandwich was sweaty, and half of it was soggy. Apparently, they had forgotten to bring it to me. By that point, my mocha was already gone before I had even started eating. The BLT itself was made on regular-sized sandwich bread, and the tomatoes and bacon were good. But $34 for a basic BLT and a small iced mocha is outrageous, especially considering the wait and the condition of the sandwich when I finally received it. I will not be going back. The prices are simply far too high for what you get.

I asked for my salad and lamb lollipops to come out at the same time... apparently "same time" means "after a few geological eras," because my salad arrived first, then we experienced another Industrial Revolution or two... and at long last the lamb finally made its grand entrance. Unfortunately when it hit the table it was definitely still bleating. The lamb was absurdly undercooked, but I was starving and desperate to leave, so down it went. My sister's lamb was so rare we named it Dolly and set it free to live its best cloned life in the meadow. We would've ordered more drinks, but no one ever bothered to check if we were still alive or thirsty. The one redeeming quality? The place looks beautiful. The décor is on point and the live piano singer was genuinely great... but I don't usually go to restaurants for interior design and concert vibes. Sorry, Stone House... I won't be back.
