Pepe's Cafe

When I was up in Grass Valley for work, I went to several other breakfast spots before coming here, and they all fell short. Delicious food, friendly (but not over the top) service, and by far the most coffee refills I’ve ever received (delicious coffee from a local roaster also). Highly recommend.

Probably my new favorite breakfast spot in town. The menu has all the usual breakfast staples you’d expect but they also offer a variety of unique and delicious Mexican options. Their Mexican frittata is absolutely amazing and a must try, and their house-made salsas and aiolis will have you asking for extra. It’s very clear that they care about their menu and the quality of the food they serve. Aside from the amazing food, the restaurant was spotless and their restroom was probably the cleanest I’ve ever used in a restaurant. It’s clear that cleanliness is a top priority here, which gives me confidence that the back of house is kept to the same high standard.

I wish I could give this 3.5 stars. Not a 3 but also not quite a 4. I’m giving it an “average” rating because there are some things to improve. I’m hopeful that as time goes on the kinks of opening a new place are worked out. I will definitely return and try again, but there’s room for improvement. The service could be friendlier and faster. The food itself was good. I’m excited to try a few different things - their frittatas (as opposed to traditional omelettes) and their “Baskets” sound interesting.

Nice place. Had a corner booth. Not too busy at 11 so easy to find seating. Only 2 tables for outside, though. Ranch was $1, and I wasn't told it was a charge. It's still good, though. Got the chicken pesto sandwich with garlic fries.

Excellent food, biscuits & gravy has a twist of New Orleans to them, so flavourful it's hard to put your fork down to breath, theyre that good! Definitely a must for everyone in the area to try out!! Overall experience was an 8.6 which is a monster score compared to all the other breakfast joints we have in our area. Lands in my top 3 for places to get breakfast, I know you'll enjoy & appreciate the love they put in every dish!!

The most lovely service and absolutely delicious food! One of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had served by the kindest people. Cannot say enough good things!

Food was pretty good. The server was comically dry when asked for her opinion on the not-enchiladas enchiladas. (Basically, they're not enchiladas, but it's not my job to order your food for you, so don't ask me to tell you what I think.)

Mill street needed a place like Pepe's. Breakfast burrito with chicken apple sausage was excellent. My wifes Frittata was fantastic also. Service was great! Prices are fine. Like Johnnies and Old Town, Pepe's can now give us a reason to visit Mill St. in the morning.

This is a classic breakfast and lunch cafe with some nice extras. The menu included the standard breakfast and lunch fare with the addition of Huevos Rancheros, Baskets, and Frittatas. We selected the Bacon & Cheddar and Pit Ham Frittatas. They were delicious. The service was attentive and friendly. The coffee came from Caroline's, a local Grass Valley coffee roaster, and it was excellent. We'll be back to try some of the other extras.

My husband and I went to Pepe's Cafe on Saturday 1/4/25 for the first time ever. Suffice to say, we will definitely be going back! I had a bacon cheeseburger and fries. The burger was juicy and cooked perfectly, and the fries were excellent. My husband had a Philly cheesesteak, which he really liked a lot. Service was friendly and efficient, and the ambience was casual and comfortable. Can't wait to try the breakfast items. Highly recommend!

The avocado toast is great with the home made salsa It's good until 2025 but if she takes you to get a California ID, that would be good, but I'll be good . Here is a rhyming poem about Pepe's Café: At Pepe's Café, where the morning light shines, The breakfast is special, the service divine. The host and hostess, so gracious and kind, Welcome my brother-in-law, Phil, with open minds. The aroma of coffee, the sizzle of fare, Invites all who enter to linger and share. The flavors of Mexico, the warmth of the heart, Make Pepe's a place where memories start. From the first sip of juice to the last bite of toast, The experience at Pepe's is one to boast. So if you're in need of a morning delight, Head to Pepe's Café, where the welcome is bright.

Friendly little diner serves modern versions of traditional diner fare. If you're ordering breakfast, check out the section of "baskets." These are "egg in a basket" dishes (egg fried in the middle of a piece of toast) with assorted toppings. My BBQ Bacon Basket had perfectly cooked bacon and was delightful and filling comfort food. The iced tea is made with real tea. Prices are very reasonable.

Very midsy. Completely unseasoned. And extremely overpriced. Watery Refried beans from a can.

The service was good. The prices are high. The food was pretty good. The biscuit and gravy was different but good. I ordered the biscuits and gravy and was told they only had 1 biscuit left. So I had to get something else. I was offered the biscuit and gravy on the side, which I paid dearly for, which was just a tiny biscuit. I would try it again to give it another chance.

A lovely little Grass Valley diner with absolutely delicious food. My daughter got the chorizo tacos. The chorizo and the salsa were so flavorful. I got a gluten free basket with andouille sausage and absolutely loved it! The service was warm and lovely, and the restaurant itself is neat and tidy. A lovely experience all around!

We've been to Pepe's a few times and always have a nice meal. It's a diner feel, a little elevated from the typical. And like most restaurants on Mill St outdoor seating is available. I haven't had lunch there yet but their breakfasts are great, I usually get a frittata. This is a good addition to downtown GV.

Our experience here was awful couldn't get a simple breakfast order right not sure how you translate frittata into a burger well we didn't mind the wait we just wanted food I took a bite to find a hair in the middle of the burger. Our waitress seemed to be dunk or high couldn't get a order right and was acting weird management did nothing to help but act like highschoolers talking and staring at us not only is the restaurant dirty the management physically looks dirty! Worse place I've spent 100$ an American fast food would have been a better route that's sad
