My favorite coffee joint in Tahoe. Extra delicious banana bread. Great variety of non-coffee beverages. Really cozy with couches, chairs, a beautiful fireplace and plenty of spaces to charge your phone or computer. Wifi available.

Great spot to stop to refuel riding around the lake. Nice staff, clean ,and everything was as expected. Outdoor eating area is without parallel. Stop in, you'll be glad you did.

Fantastic coffee shop with cozy decor and wonderful friendly staff. I ordered the cold brew coffee which was so smooth and dark. In addition, we got the alpine mc muffin and b b burrito which were so delicious and huge! What a good place. Would definitely come again!

Love this spot! Great selection of beans which switches up daily with their coffee offerings. The breakfast menu and their baked goods are mouth watering and ridiculous! You will not be hungry after leaving this spot.
Super Tasty Lattes as well!

Great spot to pick up a light breakfast and a good cup of coffee. It's a charming location, which can get a bit busy during peak seasons and weekends, but stop in on a weekday or during the off-season and it's a treat to hangout at. Staff are always friendly and effect. It's a classic go to anytime I'm in the area.

First visit here. The young lady helped my wife to choose the right coffee drink. She ended up making her a drink with cold brew coffee, English toffee syrup and creamer on ice. My wife liked how strong the coffee was. My son had a non coffee drink, Coconut Cream.

Great place with very good coffee. They also1 serve an eclectic menu that includes a selection of vegan, gluten free and regular snacks and breakfast foods. Decent prices, very good service and a personable staff. Better than most chains by a great deal. All around value is terrific.

The coffee cake is amazing. It’s super moist and full of cinnamon, like a lighter version of a cinnamon roll. The staff was super friendly and coffee is good. Lots of other pastries and snacks that look delicious as well.

We found this little café by accident. We were headed back from Tahoe and realized we needed coffee. We also didn't realize we were seconds away from a large intersection. So, we stopped. We found the staff friendly and helpful. They have a lot of choices for food and smoothies. They made sure to let me know that my food might take a while so I was able to change my order so the wait wouldn't be as long. I'm definitely going to be back.
