    Strawberry banana smoothie
    Jennifer T.

    Order a strawberry banana smoothie and it came out looking like there was a clear separation between perhaps sugar? The taste was watered down strawberry banana flavor. Mind you the price for this was $9 like bfr right now. The kitchen in the back looks unsanitary. The service was okay as we walked in there wasn't any greeting just them looking at us. Overall experience.. wasn't worth it.

    Iced latte
    Cesar H.

    Stopped by this coffee shop on our way to the lake. Great location! My iced latte was burned unfortunately. My blueberry muffin was dry and the bagels are just from the bag from the grocery store. The service was okay but the girls in the counter seemed more interested in talking to themselves than to us. It felt like we were an inconvenience. The vibe is very laid back.

    After a long day of skiing, we were absolutely starving, so our instructor recommended this…read morerestaurant in Tahoe. She did mention she might be a bit biased since she works in the kitchen, but she was completely right: the food was outstanding. We ordered two burgers, a salad, and an appetizer to share among four people. The portions were very generous and incredibly satisfying. We usually prefer to restaurant-hop and have dessert somewhere else, but the meal was so good that we decided to stay and try dessert as well. While it wasn't quite as impressive as the rest of the food, it was still enjoyable and ended up being the perfect choice since it wasn't overly heavy after such a filling meal. A special mention goes to our waitress, Erin, who was excellent. She was attentive, efficient, and incredibly on top of everything. I always appreciate when a server checks in at the right moment to ask whether you'd like the bill or want to order anything else, and Erin handled everything seamlessly. She got us in and out quickly without ever making us feel rushed.

The menu was an array of apps like Bao buns, guac and chips to birria beef rangoon, entree salads and burgers including a mushroom burger. They were a bit understaffed - one bartender and one server. Neither super friendly or forward with info - we had no clue on the flow or what and where to go. We figured it out, but clearly a bit of an issue. We ordered at the bar, but from a server, and then sat outside. The poke bowl, while a tad bland was hearty, filling and solid. The deep fried onions on top were a really nice touch, although I did feel like it was over the top salty - I ended up drinking like a gallon of water when I got home. The Bloody Mary was really good... so props on that drink, with a blue cheese olive and all. Overall, such a solid spot. Well designed, hip and a solid menu. I'd come again if I was in the 'hood. * bonus for some limited parking in the back lot.

    BRUH. F O O D…read moreFiyaaaaahhh Went here post hike and pickleball to fuel up on their sandwiches and cookies. We got their roast beef and cubano and let me tell you, they DID NOT disappoint. We agreed that the Cuban took the cake but both had lots of flavor to offer. Then for our sweet tooth, the cowboy cookie & oatmeal cranberry toffee cookie. Both were delicious, crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. S E R V I C E Great! Quick, efficient and we got our food out pretty quick considering the lines were crazy at that time.

There's also blankets out there to use for colder times.

    Very charming neighborhood market…read more My review is based solely on what I tried - a scorching hot honey latte that, unfortunately, I didn't enjoy. The coffee was so hot it actually burned my poor tongue. It was also a bit bitter and not very creamy, with none of the warm honey notes I was hoping for. It was a bummer, because judging by the look and vibe of the store, I expected to love it. That said, the market itself couldn't be more rustic and beautiful. It's filled with genuinely great looking items: handmade sandwiches, cheeses, baked goods, wine, gelato, and organic produce. Everything looked stellar. I asked the guy behind the coffee bar what beans they use, but he didn't know. I'd definitely return to try the food or grab a few things for a lake picnic, but I'm skipping the coffee - 2.5 stars if I could.

It's located in a nice area with plenty of parking and even has a decent bathroom. It also happens to be near the East Tahoe Trail (one of my favorite lake walks), which is what brought me here. The staff was friendly, the place was clean, and the atmosphere was fun, but my drink was just okay. Pretty bummed. I gave the summer menu a try and ordered the Pink Velvet Latte--fun name and flavor profile--but it lacked flavor. I ordered mine breve style with half-and-half, and honestly, it just tasted like iced half-and-half. There wasn't even a hint of the raspberry or coconut mentioned in the description. I love lattes and usually order them breve style, but I've found not every coffee shop can balance the trifecta of bold coffee, cream, and flavor. An expensive latte with no flavor is no bueno. That said, I know for next time to ask for a little extra syrup because I really love the vibe and the convenient location. I'll definitely be back. Oh and they gave out free stickers, so that's awesome!

The French toast was a perfect blend of fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The bread itself was amazing. I opted in for some fresh strawberries, but you can get other fruit or a fruit syrup as well. The French toast also comes with warm maple syrup, and I can attest it was definitely warm. It made the whole eating experience feel luxurious, and I had a delightful time eating it all up. If I ever come back to Lake Tahoe for holiday, I will definitely need to swing by this place to experience this French toast again. So good!
