Nevada City Classic Cafe

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.

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

It is what it is; a classic diner-type experience. The food is nice. Comforting, familiar breakfast and lunch fare. If they'd just name the crepes something like "freedom skins" or "American extra flat pancakes" I'd do 5 stars because I don't believe in French food. Service is friendly, ambience is cozy. I really like this place.

It was the Saturday before Christmas 2023 and my father decided to take me to breakfast in Nevada City, California in-order pick up a few last minute gifts items for mom. Nevada City Classic Cafe is a charming local cafe which I enjoyed for their service, breakfast sections and local diner ambiance with reasonable prices. Locals and visitors alike were generous in providing information regarding the establishment and Nevada City itself. Yes, Hallmark's movie the "Christmas Card" was filmed at the cafe. Like many visitors I too took a few snapshots of the infamous mural. Meanwhile, during my visit the servers were attentive and ensured everything was just right in the way the food was prepared and coffee remained hot. I enjoyed a bacon breakfast burrito with a side of potatoes and decaffeinated coffee with cream to drink. Portions were large and I only ate half of the breakfast burrito. I look the remaining portion to go. Complements to the chiefs given the food was delicious and filling . I am already looking forward to my next visit give the place is known to moviegoers for their "crispy curly fries. The only downside of the establishment is the need to update their restroom. Otherwise this is an excellent place to observe others, enjoy a delightful conversation, and have an enjoyable meal as a solo individual and/or with family and friends. However if you are in search for something upscale this is not your place. This appears to serve as a local diner with local charm. When you stop in make sure to say "Hi" to Auggie.

I've been eating here 15 years and will not be back. The owner has been away and quality is gone. Service quality in the toilet. Care for creating beautiful dishes, gone. They'll be closed on 3-months because the staff doesn't care, and their service is driving away customers because they are unsupervised and know they won't have jobs in a few month. Classic Idiots.

After having breakfast and paying our tab, while standing out in front of the business, we were angrily confronted by the older waitress about our tip. When we realized our mistake in our calculations and wanted to correct our error, the waitress became extremely rude to us and walked away. When we went back inside to increase the tip, the woman continued to be extremely rude. As we were standing at the counter to add to the tip, the older waitress forcibly bumped into us as she passed by, which I believe was intentional. We did give our waitress, who did a fabulous job serving us, her well deserved tip. We apologized to her and thanked her. We then left and will not be back. The older waitress was extremely unprofessional and rude and should have handled the situation differently as it was an honest mistake. I've been up here for over 20 years and have NEVER been treated like this by a business!

My husband and I ate at the Nevada City Classic Cafe twice last weekend and couldn't have enjoyed it more. We were extremely impressed with the chef Kendra, who cooks with love. Dave had the Huevos Rancheros and was impressed with the vegetarian chili. When we mentioned it, Kendra took time to write out the recipe for us! I had the mushroom crepe and it was very nice. The next day, we both had biscuits and gravy and loved loved the gravy. Our server Kaylie couldn't have been nicer and she was very helpful in helping us decide the best dishes. When Kaylie realized we'd seen and loved The Christmas Card, she set up our photo op with the photo of the movie and offered us little tidbits about how the owner Shawn had been a child in the movie, etc. All this to say we will definitely go back. It's a gem.

We visited on our little vacation to this cafe for breakfast and ordered the French toast, and the sweet crepe breakfast. We were served by Kendra who was very friendly and accomodating. She even provided us recommendations on where else we can explore in the town. Breakfast was delicious and cafe is so cute! Definitely coming back.

The food, service and ambiance was excellent. My wife and I came for breakfast, despite our trepidations due to Yelp reviews over the past year or so. I had a veggie omelette with country potatoes with sourdough toast. I have similar breakfasts at numerous restaurants, and feel the NC Cafe is in the top 1%. The service was very attentive and friendly, and heard other encounters with nearby people. The cook was familiar to me from other visits over the years and I paused to compliment his cooking as I was on my way to the clean and accessible restroom. I will finish by saying that I look forward to coming back during my next visit to Nevada City. Five Stars!
