You can tell they really care about the coffee they procure and brew. there was some amazing looking pastries and breakfast sandwiches that I'm definitely gonna have to give a try my next time in. absolutely obsessed with the abundance of burlap sacks full of coffee beans showering the shop and personally loved that they had an entire list of all the beans available for purchase including region and flavour profiles. Caroline's a definitely going to be one of my top coffee spots from now on!

When looking for an afternoon coffee I try to avoid the big chain coffee places like Starbucks,…read moreDutch Bros, etc and head for more locally based independent coffee shops. That isn't often easy as many close in the early afternoon, usually not open after 3pm. I was delighted to find Caroline's open to 5:30. YES! It's a delightful and charming shop off the beaten trail of touristy places in downtown Grass Valley. The array of coffee products was very satisfying and they highlighted a special Pistachio Latte! Sounded good so we got it, a 16oz for the afternoon 'pick-me-up'. A bit on the sweet side it nonetheless hit the spot for a coffee. They have a wide array of tea options too. The service was friendly and very good. The coffee came to the red pickup counter in good time. There are lots of cozy cafe type seating both inside and out. The choice of muffins, baked goods, or other snacks were slim just because it was late, but undoubtedly good too. If in Grass Valley, try it.

We tried the cold brew and hot americano, both of which had very good flavor. They sell some pastries and a couple food options, but we did not have any of these this time. I'd def recommend this place for a more local coffee shop vibe over the touristy coffee spots a couple miles north in town.

Very poor experience this morning. I had my dog with me - ordered latte and a berry croissant…read more Overpriced ($16!), but wanted to support a local business. All was going fine, and we were happily bopping to the music while my pastry was being heated, but my pup yelped at a clearly non-dog person and the manager (?) came out screaming at me "THAT DOG CANNOT BE IN HERE!!" I am happy to avoid businesses with anti-dog policies if they are posted (was not). And, by law, a business has to ask you if it's a service animal before asking you to leave. Regardless, I would have been happy to leave with my already purchased product, but the woman kept screaming while I was waiting for them to hand me my pastry. I was so embarrassed and angry with her attitude, I spilled my coffee on the sidewalk outside as I was trying to get away from her. There are service-oriented ways to address this type of situation - yelling at your customers is not one. Especially followed by a snide "have the day you deserve" as I was leaving. I will never return and will discourage others. Ftr, went to Flour Garden and after hearing the story, they gave me a discount on my replacement latte. The pastry sucked, by the way - overdone on the outside, claggy on the inside and no flavor.

The new arrangement has the feng shui of a bachelor pad. Get into the restroom feels like an imposition into someone's private space. While the service has never been speedy, it now feels like baristas are actively trying to avoid eye contact -- made all the more easy by the strange counter set up. This morning, I stood there for five minutes with no communication and finally walked out to a different café. We want this place to survive, but it I feel like I am going more out of goodwill than a quality experience. I'm hoping it's just the place getting its sea legs -- and that it might feel less like a sea cabin with some adjustments to the layout.

They also have a Flour Garden at the Brunswick Basin in Grass Valley. They have great coffee...pastries..cookies...day old items ..premade sandwiches..muffins.. and so much more. I really like their frozen soups ( especially in the winter time). ORGANIC ! It's a chill place with indoor seating and a couple outdoor seating areas by the entrance. It's always clean inside and have helpful and kind employees( wish I got their names!) Wifi available! Love it!
