I went with my fiancee we both loved it. The service is very good as every service person checks on you makes sure if you need anything. Food is delicious also.

Great little spot with fantastic service and good food. It smelled delicious when we walked through the door. There was a clean table for us instantly and our coffee was quick to come as well. Hot and fresh and strong enough. We are happy we found this restaurant and would recommend it to anyone wanting a cafe style meal. We were there at breakfast time so that’s what we got. They had real butter on the fluffy pancakes and the sausage was very tasty as well.

Great cafe for a hearty American brunch in Folsom! It is located at an outdoor strip mall with lots of parking. It doesn't look much from the outside but has a cute decor once you are in (think large wall clock and painted windows with an old town west view outside). We got seated immediately and our server was an older, sweet lady who was friendly and quick. Her recommendation was right on the spot! We ordered freshly squeezed orange juice, hot chocolate, the country eggs Benedict and the chili Verde skillet. The orange juice was definitely freshly squeezed and delicious. The hot chocolate was good. Portions for our main dishes were huge. We were able to have a full brunch, an evening snack and a full dinner for 2 out of those two dishes. The country scramble was yummy - good sausage, decent eggs, decent biscuit, fantastic gravy. The potatoes could have had more of a kick. The gravy was quite heavy so you couldn't eat a lot of it at once. The chili Verde skillet was excellent - it didn't come on a skillet, which means that the food was warm but didn't continue cooking and burning on a hot skillet. It had eggs, pork, veggies, all smothered in chili Verde sauce with cheese and sour cream. It came with a side of buttered bread. The whole thing was really, really, really, really good!! I do wish that they had put slightly less salt, but my husband, who adds salt to his food, loved it. It was delicious and hearty, especially with the bread! I recommend ordering this and asking them to back off on the salt a little. Pricing wise, it was reasonable. The overall menu is extensive and their service is quick. We recommend coming here if you want a good American style brunch!

I used to do sales in Folsom back in the early 90s and I remember having breakfast there once or twice. At the time there wasn't much in the area other than the small strip mall that the Cafe was located in. Well, Folsom has changed a great deal in 30 plus years but Gold Miner Cafe is almost exactly as I remember it. It's the quintessential local hangout. Great food and friendly service. I had their Chicken Fried Steak with grilled potatoes. It's done on the grill rather than in the deep fryer with a very thick, flavorful gravy and I really enjoyed it! It's nice to see that some things never change!

When you walk into a café for breakfast and see that all the tables are full, you know you’re at a popular restaurant with excellent food. The atmosphere was charming and the service was fast and friendly. I had the chorizo scramble and a single pancake. The pancake was the best I’ve ever had. I recommend gold minor Café for the food, the friendly staff and the reasonable fare.
