Small coffee shop with little to no seating inside, but plenty outside. I ordered a drip coffee and two cookies along with a canned kombucha for my wife.The coffee is a solid 7.75/ 10 (10 being world class). I havent had the chance to try there lattes or milk drinks but based off of the quality of their drip coffee I imagine it would be excellent. However I can highly recommend the drip.The cookies were also delicious, they have a cake-like consistency but are not soft, more brittle than moist. An excellent pairing for coffee drinks.Overall I would definitely recommend the shop and be back again if Im in the area.Kat and Jonah gave excellent service!

My wife loved her punkin spiced coffee, she said is the best she has ever had

So far Ive had the iced vanilla cream cold brew. So delicious! This is my new favorite coffee spot.

Best coffee in the area. These folks know what theyre doing

A great local small town coffee shop. Love it

Great coffee roaster and I enjoy it at home, so I thought to try the cafe. I went this past Saturday and it was swingin’ with a line out the door. The counter duo was flyin’ and moving fast, and I ordered a ‘quick coffee’ (not their slow drip as I wasn’t willing to wait) then slipped out to the C19 picnic table on the street to enjoy the early winter sunset. Like a good team player, one of the employees came outside and asked for support from what seemed a manager — but didn’t get the help hoped for I’d say. I’ll be back for the slow drip and a sticky sweet very soon, maybe for sunrise...

Just had a flat white. The espresso was pulled well, good texture on the milk. Well balanced espresso blend that isnt burned. Friendly staff.

Ummm this is the best coffee shop in town... The bergamot latte is divine. The rose cardamom latte is beautiful. The flavor descriptions on the bags of beans is almost as delightful as whats insideThis cute micro spot originated locally, is WOMAN OWNED and showcases local art as wellThank you for your consistent quality and for having OAT MILK!

Friendly and funky, a little more-so than I expected for Grass Valley so a pleasant surprise. A nice mix of subway tile and wood. Not much in the way of seating but if you do get a spot then it’s a nice place to be. I went with a latte, the wife went with a French Breakfast tea, a curious change to the usual English Breakfast and not that discernible a difference although it is supposed to have more punch. My latte was smooth with a bit of bite at the finish and a good temperature too (what is it with this luke warm latte trend?).

The specialty coffee drinks arent always consistent. Sometimes theyre fantastic! Other times, oh well. But I do think they taste great when it is good. The place is very cute, I love the art that rotates through. It can be pricey here, but I dont mind.

Okay so I went to fable coffee cause Corvus was closed and why does this coffee taste like soy sauce omfg ew

Wonderful little shop

I was refused a service by a girl that few months earlier made me careless a sandwich with huge piece of glass in it.I was shoked.And she even didnt say sorry. She was rude, and I asked her if she realized I could die from swallowing that glass.I just want to share that .and the owner didnt seemed to care much aswell. Her response was- there were no damage, so what exactly do you want from me.It was insulting honestly, on the human side of the event...

Tasty low fat iced latte on a hot day. Delicious!

Best in town, all around!

Fable Coffee worked with us to provide coffee for after our wedding when our original reception got cancelled due to COVID closures (we switched to a small coffee/donut hour outside after the ceremony). They were so helpful in dealing with our last minute requests, and the coffee was excellent! We got a big to-go container of the Gold Country blend, and I know our guests all appreciated it. I highly recommend working with them, or just visiting the shop. A huge thank you to Ashley and Logan!

Fantastic espresso, beautiful space, local art, solid board games, and even some profound literature to sip on.

Wicket good Chai Latte, internet is smoking fast as well.

Been coming here for years, the best lattes and mochas anywhere in the region.

Nice baristas and great coffee! :)

Very Kind and loved the art installations

Decent coffee but it took 20 mins for them to give it to me.And 4 bucks for a tiny scone?

Very good coffee with unusual choices of favorings, example lavendar.

Absolutely the BEST Mexican mocha I have ever had!

My partner and I are from Aus and we’re traveling up the West Coast in a camper van. We have been on the hunt for a GOOD coffee ever since we arrived in the US with no luck. That was until we stumbled across Fable coffee while on a bit of a random detour in Grass Valley. Seriously best coffee we’ve had in the US so far! Delish!

Nice people, great coffee!

$8.60 for a small coffee and a pastry! Coffee wasnt very good, but - I drink decaf and its tough to find a good decaf. Still, at these prices I do expect it to be very good indeed. Service without a smile, or even acknowledging I was alive. Punk hippy skateboarder theme and music. No thanks.

I absolutely love this place! Amazing coffee, my favorite is the rose cardamom. They also have fabulous chai.

Best coffee shop in da world 10/10 im proud of you mom

I just stopped in for the first time today and got this one cinnamon latte... wow amazing! Will be coming back

Great coffee! Best in Grass Valley. Love the flavors and options. The owner is impeccable in every way. If you love coffee you cant miss this place.

Not good and overpriced.

Discovered this place after having a not so fantastic experience at another joint in town. Staff was fun and laughing. I was made a delish Mexican Coffee with a heart on top. I may have given them 4 stars because they dont have white chocolate and witnessed 2 customers go without, I cant help but feel like thats kinda a coffee shop staple. BUT its not my drink and I was so impressed when I decided to tap my inner child and picked up one of their adult coloring books... Well, there were no sharpened colored pencils out so I was going to bag the idea but the staff noticed and without asking brought me over some sharpened pencils! Gave me a good laugh, and I found it cool they payed attention and took the time to make sure I enjoyed myself. 👊

The owner taught herself to roast her own beans. She also herself foes the pour over (Ethiopian). Tasty pastries. Playing the pixies was a big plus. Nice decor. Its as good as the other best coffee shops in town.

Best simple drip coffee in town!! Also, brewed at 3 Forks 6 miles from here. Sit at their window, with a steamy cup, & watch the locals drive by. Tues is the freshest bagel day.

Best coffee shop in the Grass Valley/Nevada City/Auburn area! Love the atmosphere, all of the employees are awesome and super friendly, and of course it has the highest quality coffee/espresso drinks. The only specialty coffee shop around that actually prides themselves of only using the best methods for making coffee drinks and they have local, organic pastries. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

Everyone who works here is so nice and friendly. They have great coffee, but I have recently fell in love with their specialty tea lattes- theyre the kind where you take your first sip and wanna melt from the yumminess! 😄

Coffee is absolutely amazing! I am giving it 3 stars because I was really disappointed in the avocado toast. If the owners are reading this please take some time to research how to make bomb avo toast and not just a mashed avo on a piece of bread.... citrus salt and olive oil are your friend... add some micro greens and youre in business... please just look at some recipes though I was really disappointed with my toast half covered and flavorless. Or just make an avo toast topping bar if you want to keep your workers from spending too much time on it. I love the coffee and will be happy to write a new review and remove this one if the avo toast changes thank you

Thanks to everyone at Fable for making me feel welcomed, top notch service A+++ extra special thanks to River for being so awesome. Go stop in and let her know Robert sent you! I know Ill be back !

Based on good reviews I stopped in to order my usual morning drink - double shot espresso. It was so BITTER I almost hurled my breakfast. Dont know what kind of beans theyre using here but if I do return I wont be ordering straight shots!

Love this place, my home away from home❤️

Best coffe in GV!

Friendly service and good drink/food. Yum

Amazing, flavorful coffee with helpful, knowledgeable staff!

Best coffee in town.

Theres no denying that this coffee shop features delicious foods and coffees, has a wonderful atmosphere, and kind employees. A little pricey, but justified.

Best coffee around also a great staff and manager wooo hooo!

Great Cappuccinos...

I love this spot! My favorite cold brew in Grass Valley. I just hope they get a new location soon. The current one is a bit cramped.

Small batch roasted, flavorful coffee. The Ethiopian beans are the best. I woundering if its fare trade.. This business supports local artists and Crafters. Ive been a barista for years and I think this is the top spot in Grass valley / Nevada City.

Cozy little coffee shop on the corner of Mill St. next to the movie theater. Coffee isokay.

Love the coffee! They take great effort to provide some of the best quality drinks in town.

Outside seating and waiting available.

Great coffee,love the Mexican mocha.

Great place awesome staff high quality beans

Really good knowledgeable roaster. Small space so dont count on a table but the have a great window bar.

Pretty good coffee but not as good as the Fox Hound in Nevada City

Love the people, always a smile with the best coffee and Avocado Toast.

Great coffee option when in grass valley!

Amazing unique coffee with great service.

This is definitely THE place to go for very special coffee. Grass Valley is so rich in local coffee places - with Carolines, Brew Bakers right across the street, and they are all lovely (not to forget the venerable Flour Garden, with their great selection of baked goods). I almost feel bad going to Fable all the time, but they definitely are currently the numero uno.

Great locally roasted coffee, friendly staff, and consistent hours. Love!

Average latte with milk underfoamed.

The most helpful baristas and the coffee is great!!!!

Presumptuous, rude and rushed. Although the place has great potential, we didn’t feel very welcome as visitors to the town.

Lovely people and amazing coffee.

Very, very good coffee shop! Came in expecting just some coffee, but I was definitely stunned at the quality and the service, and especially the coffee!

Clean, delicious, and friendly. Thanks, Fable

Good coffee, and nice atmosphere

Great coffee!

The best coffee anywhere!

Such good tea!

Great coffee

Pro Baristas☕👌

Good coffee

Love the atmosphere

The coffee is very good. I also took a croissant with pesto and bear claw. She asked me to heat it, but they told me that they would not be able to heat it. Then I asked for a refund, but they also refused.It was very unpleasant in the morning.But the croissant and coffee were really good.
