Great food, great service and great prices. The owner went above and beyond when I took my kiddos in for a mother-son date.

I tried Sweet Pea's for the first time yesterday and I will definitely be back! The service was exceptional! I had the artichoke soup and it was the best I have ever had! It is a great restaurant, great atmosphere, and It will be my new "go to" restaurant in Mi Wuk Village.

We look forward to coming back. Everything is made from scratch the baked items are on display under the glass when you come in. We enjoy all the yummy food at Sweet Pea's can't wait to come back soon. It's worth the drive.

We had a wonderful breakfast this morning. They are happy to customize based on your dietary needs.

We stopped for lunch after hiking at Pinecrest Lake. Many of the menu items were unavailable, the service was slow, the orders were not correct, our soups/salads came out after we were almost done eating our food, and the food itself was just okay. We were disappointed. Perhaps the high rating is for their breakfast menu as opposed to their lunch menu. Hi Kathryn. Thank you for your response. I do not know how to respond to your comment so I am responding here. We stopped by around 1pm on Monday.

This place is AMAZING. They make everything from scratch, including their biscuits and English muffins, which blew us away. All of the ingredients they use are high-quality and fresh, my veggie omelet on Sunday was so tasty. We loved this place so much, we ended up eating here both days of our stay in Mi-Wuk Village.

Amazing homemade food. Friendly service. We were staying in town for the weekend and came for breakfast every day.

Once you leave the Sonora, CA area, as you head east on California Highway 108, your dining options are quite limited, as you're traveling through very rural Tuloumne County, in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Just a half hour east of Sonora, you'll come to the small settlement of Mi Wuk Village, where you'll find Sweet Pea's Restaurant and Bakery, which is a gem of a fine restaurant. The restaurant has a rather interesting layout, as when you enter, there is a smaller dining room, with several tables, and a partition between it and the main dining room. You'll notice a counter, where baked goods are kept under glass, hence the term "bakery" in the name of the restaurant, as the owner bakes all kinds of "goodies," in-house. The breakfast offers everything a breakfast lover could hope for, including "Sweet Pea's Challenge," which I would have attempted, if I was in my prime eating form, 20 years ago. I settled on the "Standard American Breakfast," and when I noticed tri-tip was one of the meat choices, my mind was instantly made up, and any thoughts that I'd entertained of taking the "Challenge" were "gone with the wind." I had the pleasure to be served by Katy, who owns the restaurant, who provided friendly, efficient service, and treated me as if I were a member of her immediate family. She certainly knows how to run a fine restaurant! From "The Classics" section of the breakfast menu, I ordered "Standard American Breakfast, with tri-tip as my meat, two eggs cooked over easy, home style potatoes, toast, a side of gravy and coffee. Such a delicious breakfast! The "star" of my breakfast was tri-tip, lovingly prepared by the chef, who happens to be Katy's husband. The meat is served thinly sliced, marinated, well-seasoned, and juicy perfect. Sweet Pea's gives you a HUGE helping of this delicious tri-tip, and you'll be satisfied for the rest of the day. Tri-tip is among the meat choices, which include ham, bacon or sausage, but for me it was a "no-brainer" to choose tri-tip, as this cut of steak isn't some that you find on most restaurant's breakfast menus. My compliments to the chef, as he did an amazing job on this fine meat. Of course the breakfast comes with two eggs, cooked any way you desire, and I chose over easy, which is my de facto standard. The mark of a fine chef is to cook eggs ordered over easy as "over easy," not medium, and with the yolks intact, and still a bit on the "runny" side. I am happy to report that my eggs were cooked over easy, as per my order, which is a defining benchmark of a breakfast chef with talent. You get the choice between hash brown or home style potatoes, which is always a difficult choice for me, as I love them both. When Katy explained to me that her home style potatoes had diced bell pepper and onion, I was sold. I'm glad I ordered the home style potatoes, as they were absolutely delicious! The large, "chunky" potatoes were perfectly fried to a golden brown, and the onion and pepper complimented the taste of the potatoes, but did not overpower their goodness. I dipped some of the potatoes into my bowl of gravy, with made for a breakfast sensation. Speaking of gravy, a bowl of gravy was an option, but an option that I frequently order, as I simply LOVE breakfast gravy, and this breakfast gravy was "top shelf" in every way. The sausage gravy had the perfect texture, as it was creamy, flavorful, with LOTS of chunks of sausage. This gravy was amazing! You could make a meal out of a bowl of Katy's gravy, and a breakfast visit to Sweat Pea's isn't complete unless you enjoy a bowl of this wonderful gravy. Katy told me she'd been working on the gravy since 7 in the morning, and I can believe it, as her gravy is simply wonderful. You can't go wrong with sourdough toast and coffee, and both didn't disappoint me. I enjoyed my "Standard American Breakfast," as i

Delicious & exceptionally good prices for baked from scratch and in the hills! Run by the owner & her boyfriend. Were willing to serve us breakfast even though it was lunch time. So accommodating!

We stopped by for lunch before a camping trip up there. Everything is fresh & made to order. SO DELICIOUS! And the service was EXCELLENT! We special ordered a variety of muffins & scones to go for our trip over the weekend. They were a HIT! ZERO leftovers! I highly recommend trying this fine establishment if you're ever in the neighborhood! We'll be back for sure!!!
This place has become a new favorite in the area. While my husband and I - will always have a deep appreciation for The Sportsman - Sweet Pea's has become a convenient and lovely stop for breakfasts and early morning backpacking-meetups The staff have always been kind and helpful and their menu is fairly diverse - catering to low-carbers and such. From cinnamon rolls, to egg dishes, pancakes and much more - they have you covered. They also carry some nice take-away muffin and scone options if you want something for the road. I really like the circle stool counter area - that's perfect for solo diners and allows you to converse with the staff. It always makes me happy to see charming diner counters at restaurants. There's something nostalgic about it all. Just note that they are pretty strict at breakfast ending at 11 - so get here early. We have yet to try their lunch options - but they sound solid (and like many of their morning pastries etc - they make their own bread in house - which is always a nice touch). Trust.

We stayed in Mi Wuk for the concert at Black Oak Casino. We happen to drive by this place and stopped in. We loved our meals. I had the breakfast sandwich and husband had the Denver omelette. I love good home cooked meals, and this place is pretty much how cook at home. The owner is really welcoming and we felt very comfortable. It has a real homey vibe. We loved it so much, went back the very next day! Definitely make this place a stop on your travels.

Having brunch with my grandkids for the 1st time here. We LOVE this place and will be coming back!! Hamburgers and huevos rancheros were amazing!

We came out of a backpacking trip in Emigrant Wilderness and wandered through Mi-Wuk in search of lunch. They were well signed and welcomed us warmly, even though we showed up six minutes before closing. They had amazing rye bread and hamburger buns both of which were made in house. Food was fast and very good, everything was made from scratch and tasted great. The menu, including dessert was diverse including options for those with dietary restrictions. The baked donuts were very good and not at all dry like they often are, with a hint of lemon from the glaze. The staff was welcoming and friendly, this lunch was a great way to wrap up our time in the region. Overall felt homely and welcoming, I would definitely go out of my way to go again if I was anywhere near the region.

Thank you Sweet Peas for a wonderful Mother’s Day breakfast! Great service and great food. We especially liked the gluten free options. I can’t wait to eat again!
