The Grove Cafe and Bakery - Felton, California

Had a brownie and coffee. The brownie was light, fluffy and scrumptious. The coffee was robust and deeply flavored. The Felton area is a bit touristy and expensive. So, expect to pay a bit more for pleasures like eating at this cafe.

Jessica Yarr is a phenomenal chef and happens to be the stepdaughter of the in-town Bigfoot museum. I go back as often as I can for the savory scones. Her breakfasts are delicious, though pricey. I haven’t eaten anything here that I didn’t like.

Cute little restaurant in Felton. I got a curried mango chicken salad sandwich, which was pretty solid. We also ate in the back patio area which was a great environment.

Like others have mentioned, the staff seemed a bit disorganized and overwhelmed, so service was a bit spotty (I think it took ~25 minutes to get our food after ordering, and the water dispenser was out of water), but they were apologetic. Similarly, I wouldn't say the food itself was particularly amazing. But not a bad meal by any means!

It took over 15 Minutes to get a cup of cafe mocha. The lady at the counter never started making the drink; she kept getting orders.

The lemon cake was very weird. Half of the loaf, especially the bottom part, was soggy, WET!!!!, and I couldn't finish it. It was so gross.

They made the cafe mocha quite well. It was a good vibe, though.

Food prices were on the higher side. Moreover, the customer service was very poor, perhaps due to understaffing? Not sure, but overall we waited for 45 minutes for our food without any acknowledgement or explanation for the wait. Our table wasn’t cleaned until we brought it to someone’s attention, same with the water cups.

We had a lengthy wait time for our lunch, which included three sandwiches, a soup, and a cake loaf. After waiting for about 30 minutes and finally inquiring about our order, we finally received the food after 45 minutes. The loaf was missing, and when we asked about it, it had apparently run out. I do appreciate the server's kindness in offering replacement sweets.

However, given the extended wait and the prices, we were a disappointed with the overall taste of the food. Our sandwiches looked very nice but not particularly flavorful. The soup portion was less than half a bowl for $14, and doused in chili oil. When we asked about it, the staff shared that this was to be expected. It would have been nice if the servers had been more accommodating or acknowledged their delays. The value was missing for the price, and overall the service made it not a positive experience sadly.

First time eating here. Overall very impressed by the food. We had the grilled cheese special, the biscuit sandwich, and the strawberry and beet salad. Very good flavors. And pleasantly surprised to find out that they do indeed have mimosas, was not expecting them to have any booze so, I can officially call it brunch!

Will definitely be back, and now I’m extra sad that I missed the French versus Italian community night dinner.

This is THE place in felton! The food is beyond good, the atmosphere is so inviting, and the patio out back is perfect for intimate conversation with good company. If you’re near by this area and you don’t stop by - you are SEVERALLY missing out!

Delish and a lovely place too!! I got the polenta bowl and it was perfection. The outdoor seating area is cute and peaceful. I decided to go here on a Thursday morning because I thought it would be less crowded than the weekend. One time we drove by on a Saturday and the line was out the door.
