I'm so glad to see this place reopened. We received very kind and thorough service one January weekend morning, ordering an omelet and avocado toast. The interior is warm and welcoming and the counter is charmingly quaint. Definitely recommend coming here for a hearty breakfast before heading up the hill!

Was served recently by Brad. He's awesome! Definitely makes the already amazing dining experience at the Pine Cone even better. Also read Peters negative review. He only has negative reviews if you look at his profile. Take that review with a grain of salt...

A gem of a place on the 108. We stop here every time we're in town. The menu is a pretty good size. The food is really, really good; and the customer service is top shelf. I was recently 25 minutes down the hill in Sonora talking to a local. She said they make the drive to Mi Wuk just to eat there. I don't doubt it! 5 stars all the way.

Service was good. Very busy cafe in Mi Wuk and the staff were friendly. Prices were fair and the food value for money was very fair. We ordered a few items to go and it seemed like the lady on the phone hesitated to take it. Did not ding her for it because I called her out during pick up and she was just trying to be honest about the wait time given they were really busy inside the cafe. Service was prompt and my Togo order was done sooner than estimated. Biscuits with gravy were just meh, hash browns were solid, pastrami Reuben was delish (get their potato salad), and their chicken fried steak was good but very rich. Solid diner cafe in the area. Must try!

So, on the way back from a hike around Pinecrest lake, the hubs and I decided to try this place (finally) for a late breakfast. The dining room was fairly full, which I always take as a good sign. The decor was typical diner ambiance, mountain style. We were given our drinks right away, but it took a bit longer for our food order and even longer to get our food. Everything looked pretty good and came out hot. The hubs really liked (and ate pretty much all of) his basic bacon, eggs, toast and home spuds breakfast. The potatoes were well seasoned and had some chopped bell peppers in them, a nice touch. My Belgian waffle was delicious, topped with fresh tasting, chopped strawberries and abundant dollops of whipped cream. I was excited to order the 'house made' sausage patty, but unfortunately it tasted more like plain hamburger to me, lacking sufficient seasoning to resemble what I consider good sausage . The food was good enough for return visits, but I will take a hard pass on ordering the sausage patty again.

This place has been in my "I need to go here and try it out" folder for months and I was finally able to stop in for breakfast. Hubby got the biscuits and gravy which he later determined may be his favorite in the area. He said the biscuits were fluffy and the gravy (which I did steal a taste of) was sausage and bacon gravy. It had a sweetness to it that is uncommon in biscuits and gravy but it was very good! The Benedict is the dish I always order at a new-to-me restaurant. It's a great test dish to determine who can and cannot cook an egg. Both of them had a perfectly poached egg and a thick slab of Black Forest ham on top. The hollandaise was mild to me. I do prefer more zing in mine, but that is a personal preference. Our two breakfasts and drinks came to just under $30 which, in this economy, is a great price for a sit down meal. Overall, I am very glad we were able to stop in and we will absolutely be back!

This place is the bomb! Gem of a place. Good diner food and the service is excellent. A well oiled machine. There is not a lot of room and things can get cramped. You might have to wait!
