Sabrina's At The Forks

Nestled on the banks of the Downie River in the historic heart of Downieville, California, Sabrina's At The Forks is a beloved community hub that blends a casual café vibe with a full‑service restaurant and bar. Owner Sabrina, a hospitality veteran of more than 30 years, opened the doors in May 2017 and has since built a menu that celebrates farm‑to‑fork philosophy: breakfast burritos packed with locally sourced eggs and pork, hand‑crafted sandwiches and wraps featuring organic produce, and picnic boxes perfect for a river‑side adventure. The on‑site Butter Me Up Bakery supplies homemade jams, granola, and fresh‑baked breads that pair beautifully with the certified‑organic espresso blends and single‑origin coffees from Chiapas and the Alps. Evenings transition to a relaxed beer and wine bar, showcasing craft brews from nearby microbreweries and a curated Napa Valley wine list. Happy hour on Friday and Saturday draws locals and tourists alike for discounted pours. Beyond food, the venue rents stand‑up paddle boards, float devices, and river tubes, encouraging guests to explore the pristine Sierra waters. Open daily from 7 AM to 7 PM, the price range sits comfortably at $$, offering quality without pretension. The interior mixes reclaimed wood, river‑inspired art, and communal tables, fostering a warm, welcoming atmosphere where the community meal program and private catering events further cement its role as Downieville’s culinary cornerstone.
