Cake Bakery & Cafe

Editing my review to say how understanding Christine was about the situation. Cake is truly run by a business owner who cares about how the community receives her business. I appreciate her prompt response in reaching out to discuss how the interactions with her staff went and how she plans to implement change in the future.

I must say the food is amazing, but the staff at Cake seem to be having the worst day ever.

Grass Valley is lucky to have this wonderful bakery. It seems that everything here is made with great care and skill. The woman (main baker?) who runs Cake is often behind the counter keeping an eye on things, providing a personal touch. I've never had a bad meal here. Highly recommended!

The staff were very kind, efficient and fun. It had just gotten a little busier right before I walked in, so the 2 behind the counter were finishing up prior orders before being able to help me. I wasn't in any rush so I politely waited, they gave me a tea cookie with my soup in return for my patience, not knowing it was my birthday as well 🩵. Not to mention their baked goods and soup are always delicious!

The pastries are excellent but the focaccia is very dry and too thick for sandwiches. Coffee is excellent, staff is awesome. Would recommend for a pop in to get some coffee and a treat. Oh, and their homemade baguettes are outstanding.

Delightful and well presented bakery and cafe on Mill St. in Grass Valley. On a beautiful fall day before T-giving, we sought them out as a surprise treat for my mother-in-law. Very tasty offerings, and the staff were hardworking and sweet. Also there was ample space to maneuver Nana around in a wheelchair. They are located in the historic Nevada County Bank building.
Highly recommend 👍.

I have lived on Grass Valley for several years and I can't believe I didn't stop in here!

It is located in a historic building in downtown Grass Valley. So cute inside and very welcoming!

I saw Christine on Good Day Sacramento ( my fav morning show) and I knew I had been missing out on this place for years!

The Croissant was delicious and there was some really delectable treats as well. They also serve lunch and coffee specialties.

It's an upscale place using quality ingredients ! Try their soups when in the area!

Well done Christine! I will be back!

Soooo good and cute! Had the muffin and cardamom canelle. Was so good we forgot to take pictures of our orders!

Impeccable baked treats. Should be rated way higher!

I’ve always loved this place, but the above and beyond that happened the one time my order wasn’t correct and I didn’t notice till I was home, was more than outstanding. 5 stars all day every day

Cake is definitely a gem in downtown Grass Valley. It’s a great place to enjoy an authentic French croissant and a macchiato in the middle of the day, with a friendly staff that greets you the moment you walk in the door. The owner is a sweet lady who always uplifts her customers. One of my favorite places in GV.

Warm and cozy cafe. Owned by the sweetest and caring people. Feels like I’m stepping into Europe. Swedish cardamom cake and croissants are a MUST.

We were in town for a just a few days and went to Cake every day!!! We loved the gluten free Morning Muffin so much we kept going back! Christine, the owner, was fabulous and everything we got was delicious...(the Carrot Ginger soup, bran muffin, quiche, Morning muffin, lavender latte and the baguette with sea salt butter were some of our favs!!) Definitely stop at Cake if you are in Grass Valley!
