Smithneck is really good but... Inconsistent operating hours! If google and yelp post your operating hours, then you should be adhere to those hours. What a disappointing way to run a business! read more

After spending one night in Sierraville, we came to Smithneck Farms for a quick bit of breakfast and caffeine fix before heading home. There aren't a ton of options in Sierraville for breakfast and this one is more of a grab and go. There is no indoor seating and only two small tables outside. My husband and I both ordered the breakfast burrito which came with eggs, cheese, sausage, and potatoes. My dad ordered the breakfast sandwich which came on an English muffin and his choice of sausage or bacon. My husband ordered a plain latte while I ordered a vanilla latte with oat milk. There were some breakfast, pastries, and other items, but we did not partake. All in all for a quick bite of breakfast and caffeine fix, it's not bad. If you are looking for more of a sit down breakfast spot, I would recommend the place next-door. read more

Perfect place to make a stop before the long ride home. Banana bread was especially tasty!

The gal behind the counter was not friendly at all. The food was kept in a food warmer, the menu had a lot of tasty items on it problem was most of the items weren't available for purchase. I won't be returning. read more

The menu does vary but also has some items consistently available. The folks behind the counter are friendly. My visit was on a cold slushy winter day; there was no seating indoors, we needed a place to take a load off. I would venture to say sitting outside in milder weather would be very nice. ** Havent tried the food or drink yet, but everything else was 4 Stars ** read more

Awesome juicy tender tritip sandwich! Can't wait to try the meatloaf sandwich next time.

Stopped here on our way home from Graeagle and we were happily surprised. We got a half sweet mocha with oat milk and also grabbed a pastry. All were good. Staff was friendly. The shop is small but cute and they sell post cards from local artists. read more

Everything here is delicious. I love their brownies and chocolate chip cookies. Plus they are super nice and it is a great place for people watching during the weekends. read more

I had not been here is about 13 years and was excited to finally get back and show my GF this great place. The folks were always so friendly and welcoming. We were staying at the Globe for the weekend a visited twice and both times the brunette lady was not friendly. She seemed friendly to locals but not strangers like us. The first day I thought it may have just been that they were just extra busy, but after it happened again, I think it's just her. read more

This is my secret place to get a Tri Tip sandwich when I'm out for a ride in the country. Everything is fresh and made quickly. It's nice to sit outside and watch the people go by. read more

Stopped here for breakfast on a drive. The staff were friendly enough. The breakfast item I got was premade and reheated/under a heat lamp. I got the breakfast sandwich, which was an English muffin, egg, sausage, and cheese. I was kind of bummed about that and was hoping it was freshly made food. The food was decent and the coffee was good. I'd give this place another try for lunch maybe, but probably wouldn't be back for breakfast. The ambiance is cute and country vibes, but there is no seating inside. It was a rainy day, so I'm not sure if they usually have outdoor seating or not. read more

Good coffee but very unfriendly service. Both servers act like you are interrupting their day by asking to buy a coffee. I thought it might have been an off day the first time, but by the third time, its a definite trend. read more

Yummy cinnamon rolls and meatloaf sandwiches! Wish they weren't closed on Tuesdays. It's a must stop if you are in the area.

Excellent, innovative food! Service was great. The cafe had a fun interior design. Love this town!

Wife and I headed up to Sierraville after our first choice in Truckee did not open on Friday morning, for reasons which were concealed from all the eager eaters waiting out front. Oh well. Good thing because Smithneck rocks!! Our biscuits and gravy could have been slightly warmer but were otherwise perfect, with tasty biscuits and meaty sausage gravy. My wife ordered a cinnamon roll (more carbs?!?) and I ended up being very glad she did. Coffee was fresh, hot, very flavorful and powerful! Service was prompt, prices were reasonable. After we finished the B and G's I asked the waitress to heat up the cinnamon roll for us, and it was delivered back cheerfully and promptly. It was excellent. We will be back up this way to camp at Sierra Hot Springs and will definitely return to Smithneck! Highly recommended. read more

The coffee shop is right at the intersection of town, rustic breakfast place with tables outside. We just had drip coffee, a blueberry muffin (huge and packed with berries), and a rootbeer float. Perfect for a summer late morning snack!!! read more

Such a great place for breakfast or lunch. I was there last year and again this morning. Freindly staff and regulars, good basic food. I had a custom-made breakfast and had to share my bacon and eggs with scout cuz she was so cute. Only complaint is the coffee was not to my taste, next time I'll try the espresso. Fair prices, amazing pie. read more

Smithneck Farms - Delicious hot fresh baked cinnamon roll. - Cafes Near Me - Sierraville, California

Came here on a road trip coming back toward the 80 from Quincy and saw it had good reviews. I was not let down. The breakfast sandwich sitting in the warmer was hot and fresh on a fresh muffin with great chew and flavor. The cheese was slightly sharp and crisply melted and the egg was cooked nicely. Also had a cinnamon bun which was a delight of brown sugar and layered dough and a latte which tasted wonderful. It was very busy and the staff seemed frazzled but not enough to take off a star. Overall positive experience. Nice outdoor seating to boot. read more

Love this place. We go birding in Sierra Valley every spring and plan our day around going to Smithneck Farms for lunch. When with a friend we share a salami sandwich. So yummy! I like their coffee drinks and always pick up a cinnamon roll for the next morning. Locals stream in for their pastries and coffee - the place has a great vibe. Nice art and cool t-shirts/sweatshirts for sale. Check it out! read more

Was so excited to visit Sierraville but this place ruined the visit. We had our poodle leashed at our table at the end of the patio to keep him out of the of the sun and out of the way of other customers. I didn't see a loose, pit bull type dog with no collar or tags go under the table and start fighting with our dog. He was hitting the table legs and the hot coffee was spilling on the patio table. My husband was wearing shorts. Luckily he didn't get burnt. The loose dog stepped on my sandalled foot during the fight and injured my toe. I immediately put our dog in our car. The staff witnessed this and said it was the owners dog and that he was always there, that he was the gentlest dog in the world and would never attack anyone. The woman pointed a finger at my face and said "your dog is aggressive, that is why it's on a leash and you are aggressive because you are from the city." She didn't know anything about me. I asked them if they could refill the spilled coffee and they refused. The dog came back and sat at my feet. Another employee came out with a snide look on her face. I asked if they would put the dog inside and they said no, that they would do nothing for us and stormed away. The breakfast sandwiches we ordered were pre-heated, dry with too spicy sausage and thin strange looking cheese. The coffee was not hot. Most bizarre experience I have ever had at an eatery. I come from three generations of restaurant owners and we were always gracious to guests. If there was any incident we immediately would look to the safety and comfort of the customer. read more

The homemade cinnamon roll is worth coming here every time. Yum!!! My wife and I destroy them every time we stop by. The coffee is also great. Plus the service is always friendly, top notch!

After coming down the windy mountain, we stopped by because my nephew was feeling nausea. We saw a sign of fresh pies and an outside patio, so we stopped. This small-cute hole in the wall does not disappoint. We ordered cinnamon rolls, brownies, cookies, muffins, and a raspberry pie. Boy oh boy was everything delicious and fresh! My family inhaled their desserts before I remembered to take a picture. If the food isn't enough, the woman behind the counter was equally warm and welcoming. Since we are not from this cute town, we do know where to stop again on our next road trip. read more

Very nice people; great smoked turkey sandwich; tasty cookies. The location is ideal if you're driving in that region. Lots of outside seating. read more

This is far from a hipster coffee shop, but it's a breath of fresh air to have decent coffee in Sierraville. It's a tiny rustic cafe that boasts outdoor seating & small town people watching, along with a formidable array of fresh baked pastries. Though my chai was made from a powder mix, my husband's drip coffee was strong and sufficient. And those muffins! Bran, blueberry, almond poppyseed, all made from scratch. The gigantic cinnamon rolls will taunt you, fresh out the oven. Don't come in a hurry. Though do come before hitting the road back to the Bay, for one last dose of Sierra Valley simplicity and charm. read more

Megabusy breakfast time at Smithneck Farms cafe, but staff handled the rush with aplomb. Rusty was in charge of keeping order in Dwight's absence. The cook, dishwasher and cashier shared the kitchen's square yard of food preparation area amazingly harmoniously. Many tourists, and a handful of ranchers, were fed fresh eggs, smoked meats, potatoes and baked goods. Only the bathroom bottlenecked the flow. I ordered chai tea latte with a banana, bacon and eggs. The bacon was underdone, but I was still filled up. So I had my obligatory slice of apple pie tü gø withöūt thê a la modè. I did miss chatting with Dwight, who's a fascinating fellow.. read more

Great spot! Make all food fresh and to order, baked goods are delicious, espresso machines. Thanks!

Melissa and I were on a cross country road trip when the sun suddenly decided to commence the setting process and the hour had hit when each of us were in need of an uplifting beverage. After all, we still had much driving to do! It was the 30th of June. We stumbled upon the unsuspecting town of Sierraville along the scenic route CA 89 and saw the sign for a cafe. Smithneck Cafe, in fact. What luck! I feared that it might have already been closed but you see, that was simply not the case. I stepped inside and behind the cash register stood a friendly man in a funny mustache who was full of confidence and merriment. This added to the positive atmosphere in the welcoming, nicely festooned and well maintained cafe. I asked the guy if he could make an iced mocha, and he said "certainly!" Happy about his work, he made one with excellence, and success. I stepped out to fetch Melissa so she came inside and ordered one herself. The drink itself was amazingly good and I was happy for two reasons: 1) I preferred supporting an independent business instead of Starbucks where I always go, and 2) it was BETTER than Starbucks! Making the evening more enjoyable, Dwight asked us where we were coming from and what we were doing. He did not see us just as "a couple customers" but he treated us like people. We started to have a real conversation about where he had come from, traveling, and even music. We sat outside on the front porch to enjoy our drinks and we brought out the pooch, who then interacted with the local dogs and they all got along. Other locals were also spending the evening in front and it seemed like this Dwight was a really popular guy. We all saw the sun set together as Dwight came outside to play us a tune on his guitar. It was a beautiful sunny day, we heard good live music, hung out with cool people and our dog hung out with cool dogs and it all happened in front of this Smithneck Cafe place. We could not ask for a happier way to spend an evening! On our next trip I'll make it a point to come back here. read more

We took a leisure drive from Auburn, CA to Sierraville, CA. We found the best coffee and pastries in town. Most of all, the personality of the barista made the trip sooooooo worthwhile. She was as pleasant as the countryside. You want great coffee, no need to look any farther. Smithneck Farms Cafe is the place. Population 350. My kind of town. John and Lucille read more

Best latte, and in the heart of supposedly nowhere. Better than even most of the lattes I get in Marin - and I'm picky! The pumpkin muffins we had one morning were top notch, and the next morning we came back and Dwight, the owner, made us up his breakfast potatoes deluxe with sunny side up eggs - yum!! Dwight will even play his guitar, sing and yodel for you, which is even better than the latte, if that's possible. Next time you're through Sierraville, be sure you stop at Smithneck Farms Cafe. Outstanding and fabulously unexpected. What it doesn't have in seating and fancy options, it makes up for in charm and good quality food. : ) Thanks Dwight! We'll be back soon, Sean and Laurie read more
