Carolines Coffee Roasters
Holiday drinks at Carolines Coffee in Grass Valley, don’t you need a Peppermint Mocha, an Eggnog Latte or a Mexican Hot Chocolate? While you’re doing your last minute holiday shopping in downtown Grass Valley, stop in to Carolines, enjoy a warm beverage and stock up on great gift ideas (holiday coffee, gift baskets, locally made tea, coffee mugs and more). The Outside Inn’s blog has a fun little giveaway to help you recover from the holiday mayhem, post a comment on here about your favorite holiday beverage (coffee or non-coffee) and I’ll draw the winner for a $10 gift card to Carolines Coffee on Friday, December 27th. I’ve even wrapped up the gift card holder in a special Erin- esque way (see below).

How delicious!!! My fave holiday drink is a chai eggnog latte. Not so good for the waistline, but yummy! 😉
A nice, warm, comforting cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows 🙂
Wishing everyone a Very Merry Christmas Season!
A B52 is my favorite winter drink. With a black coffee back and whipped cream too! But skip the flame.
Cheers!

Carolines is the best. Great service, great coffee, and great store.
Peppermint mocha.
I made the Sun Liquor Aged Egg Nog (http://seattletimes.com/html/restaurants/2019828394_eggnogrecipexml.html) on 12/7 and shared it with some friends on 12/15. My friend Ken, who has had plenty of egg nog over the years, said it was easily the best he’s ever had. I’ve got more aging in the fridge now for when my family comes up for Xmas.
I love Caroline’s too. It’s so nice to have fresh, locally-roasted coffee. And everyone who works there is wonderful. I was there this morning for a latté, a scone, and three pounds of beans.
We’re going to Victorian Christmas on Sunday, but will be stopping at Caroline’s first to pick up our warm beverages. Im sitting here freezing in my office, thinking of the wonderful eggnog latte I’ll be ordering this weekend. MMMMMMMM. Feeling warmer already.
Carolines right now features what is, in my humble opinion, the best coffee in the world. Jamaican Blue Mountain.
Do not adulterate with cream or sugar, just savor it. Incredible!
I’m pretty sure I drink my weight in peppermint mochas during the holiday season. So delicious!
Love love love them. The only coffee shop I know that roasts beans in house. Purchase their grounded roast espresso every two weeks and absolutely love their iced mochas. Even if it’s snowing, they’re the best. With whip of course.
Nothing too sweet for me .. i’ll stick w/ decaf coffee!
I’ve never had one .. and very rarely go to coffee shops .. but wow, does a peppermint mocha sound amazing!!! Can i have a favorite if i’ve never tried it? Otherwise i enjoy a warm kahua drink!
Eggnog. For sure!
Eggnog as well. Eggnog anything. Especially eggnog ice cream at Treats.
Right now my favorite is a caramel latte – not too sweet but delicious warm on a cold day!
I drink Caroline’s coffee every morning… Best coffee in town that I know of
A Peppermint Mocha sounds wonderful!
I drink vast quantities of drip coffee at home but when I splurge, I’ll have a soy latte.
Love the pictures:)
You also like all things coffee-crafty 🙂
Mmmmm! I love hot chocolate. Usually when I go to Caroline’s I get tea, but I’ll have to venture out next time!
We just bought a house in Grass Valley, and Caroline’s was one of the reasons we decided to take the plunge. Can’t wait to move into our new house and explore the many wonderful places in our new town!
Yum! I love peppermint mochas.
A great shop for a warm-up. The staff is as warm as the coffee.
I love Carolines!
And my drink of choice is an almond milk latte with sugar free vanilla 🙂
Coffee, yum!
My absolutely favorite coffee drink is an almond joy. Blended mocha with coconut and almond flavors. The flavors together is amazing.
I love coffee. Just coffee… Carolines Coffee. If I win, I will drink coffee 🙂
Mmmmm love love love the coffee!!
A spicy Mexican Hot Chocolate with a dollop of whip cream sprinkled with cinnamon and cocoa on a brisk winter morning ! If I’m needing a little boost a shot of espresso. MMMMMMM
Oh I was thinking you put a shot of espresso in the Mexican hot chocolate and that sounds like a great idea….
I love their eggnog latte with all egg nog and 2 shots- mmm.
Thanks Trace and Holly for bringing back the custom of great coffee with the lever machine! The flavor just rocks!
