One of my favorite stops on the mountain roads of Plumas County has long been Sierra Sunrise Coffee House in Greenville. The small town atmosphere of Greenville’s Main Street takes you back in time. One may feel like they are visiting a simpler time and place of decades past. The beautiful mountain scenery surrounding this small town is for many reason enough to visit Greenville.
Right on Highway 89, in the center of Greenville, you will find locals perched at picnic tables, exchanging the morning’s news and views, in front of Sierra Sunrise. The scent of hot coffee and homemade muffins fills the air as we head in for a latte’ and a bite to eat. Much of the same continues inside as a group of local men share a table near the door. One more wanders in to join the group who appear to be regulars at the place.
Displays of art fill the walls of this coffee shop, with wide window views of the mountains beyond. Each day, they make homemade muffins of some sort and one popular menu item (which happens to be my personal favorite) is their muffin tops… you got it, the best part of the muffin adorned with its lightly sugared top! “Blueberry today,” she tells me. Who could resist? Since I would be sitting down to enjoy a meal today rather than my usual muffin top to go, I opted for the homemade cinnamon roll served warm. Yum! The fresh fruit cup with tasty melon and berries was hardly visible through the ‘optional’ whipped cream I couldn’t resist. We also tried their delicious biscuits and gravy which proved to be a hearty meal. They have an array of breakfast and lunch items including their famous breakfast burritos!
This small family business is located across the street from Greenville’s newly constructed Maidu Playground Park. Their small staff is full of personality and this quaint cafe’ is sure to please any appetite for breakfast or lunch. Stop and enjoy their full array of espresso drinks and smoothies while you meander through all of the great menu choices made fresh daily at Sierra Sunrise Coffee House. They are located right on Highway 89 in Greenville and can be reached at 530-284-6968.
