Having come here before, and enjoying my hot latte, I came in for another. I asked for a food recommendation and was not led astray with a delicious turkey croissant sandwich. Sandwich was handed over immediately and latte prepared shortly after, I took both outside and enjoyed at a table in the sun to warm up. What comes next is where small establishments such as this shine, I was then greeted by the owner, Werner, himself. He was very friendly and pleasant to converse with, I asked for another food recommendation after hearing that the majority of the eats are made in house. Werner recommended the "Linzer Tart". Never hearing of one before I was intrigued, I was in the opportune position to try one. And it did not disappoint! I will be back 100% - latte=must, Linzer Tart=must, and if I am lucky... to pick up my conversation with Werner.

The art on the walls is super immersive, it's one of those places where you actually want to sit and stay awhile. They've got tons of grab and go options, and even when it's busy (which it usually is), the staff moves like a well oiled machine. From the moment you walk in, you're hit with that fresh coffee aroma... immediate comfort. Every pastry looked insanely good, and tasted even better. The avocado toast with burrata? Executed perfectly. Couldn't recommend this place enough. Definitely would be in my regular rotation if I was a local.

We got an original waffle but it was still a little cold in the middle and not heated up all the way. Also got a French toast latte that was not that good and way too cinnamony. It was alright.

The consistency and quality at this Starbucks are unmatched, and it's clear the team truly cares about their craft. Ambiance is 100, if you need a place to work, if needed. It's more than just grabbing coffee here; it's always an all-around good time. Whether I'm stopping in for my usual or just passing through, this Starbucks has become my favorite spot for the best service and expertly crafted drinks. Highly recommend!

Coffee Bar Bakery in Truckee is an absolute must-stop--whether you're rolling in for a morning pick-me-up before hitting the slopes or winding down after a day in the snow. They've got an incredible variety of baked goods--from maple logs and apple fritters to glazed and chocolate croissants, almond croissants, and even apple cream-filled donuts. I wanted to try everything, but there's just so much to choose from (not a bad problem to have!). I went with their seasonal iced tiramisu latte, and it was phenomenal--not overly sweet, perfectly balanced, and you could tell it was made with care. They also have a rotating list of seasonal drinks, which keeps things interesting every time you visit. The breakfast sandwiches are a major plus--made fresh to order, not just pulled from a heat lamp. Big difference in quality, and you can taste it. There's plenty of seating, but it definitely gets crowded, especially during snow season--so plan ahead if you're coming during peak hours. Still, the vibe is warm and welcoming, and the service is solid even when they're busy. All in all, Coffee Bar Bakery is a cozy, quality-driven spot that's perfect for a pre- or post-snow trip in Truckee. I'll definitely be back for round two of those pastries! read more

I was utterly appalled by the price-to-portion ratio of the avocado toast I ordered. It was gluten-free and cost $2 extra, bringing the total to $16. While it might be acceptable if it were a substantial portion for an adult, the serving size was minuscule. It came on a single piece of bread with a peculiar guacamole spread and a few lettuce leaves. I was astounded and couldn't believe I had just paid $16 for such a meager portion. Needless to say, I won't be returning. read more

We decided to walk around the other shops instead, and as we were walking we both looked at each other and said, "Do you smell cinnamon rolls?" The amazing smell led us right into the bakery. We ordered a cinnamon roll to go because we were still full, and the staff suggested warming it up for about 40 seconds when we were ready to eat it. That was the perfect recommendation! Once I got home and warmed it up, it was absolutely delicious. The roll was soft and fresh, and the frosting wasn't overly sweet--it had the perfect balance. My only regret is that I didn't buy more! We'll definitely be stopping by again.

I have been wanting to write this review for about a year, but I kept holding back because I did…read morenot want to negatively impact the cafe's rating. Unfortunately, the experience has continued to get worse, and I keep noticing the same problems every time I visit. At this point, I am seriously considering taking my business elsewhere. The problems are not one-off incidents. They are recurring issues that, in my opinion, show a lack of attention to basic cleanliness, consistency, customer experience, and investment in the business. I am being very specific because I genuinely hope the owners read our negative feedback and actually do something about it. 1. The bathroom is consistently disgusting. The bathroom is almost always a mess (see photos). I have repeatedly seen feces left on the toilet, stains all over the floor and sink, and missing toilet paper or paper towels. This is not an occasional bad/busy day, it has become a pattern for several days in a row. There are several employees working there, and the owners are frequently present, so it is hard to understand how something as basic as keeping the customer bathroom clean is continually overlooked. If the bathroom that customers can see is consistently this poorly maintained, it naturally makes me question the level of cleanliness and attention to detail behind the scenes as well. 2. The temperature inside is uncomfortable year-round. During the summer, it is ridiculously hot inside. They rely on loud fans instead of investing in an AC to cool the space, which makes it hot and noisy. Then, during the winter, it is the opposite, the cafe is cold. After coming here for years, I have seen this issue repeatedly. 3. They are constantly out of basic inventory. They are frequently out of basic items such as honey, raw sugar, and other staples. What is even more frustrating is that these items can remain unavailable for weeks, sometimes with no clear indication of when they will be restocked. They are not in their year 3+ operation so they have data and should plan better. 4. The staff turnover appears high. There always seems to be a new employee, and the constant turnover of good employees gives the impression that something is not working internally. 5. The cafe is repeatedly used as a storage/construction space. There always seems to be some kind of remodeling, repair, or construction project happening, and construction materials or equipment are left sitting in a corner for extended periods. 6. The food and beverage quality does not justify the prices. For a bakery, I find the quality surprisingly disappointing, especially considering the prices. The croissants, in particular, do not even look like proper croissants. I have had better-looking croissants from Costco than from a specialty bakery, charging premium prices. And some of their pastries are served on tiny "paper" plates!! I have also discussed the cakes with multiple friends who have had similar experiences: they are expensive, yet they often seem less than fresh. When you are charging premium prices, customers should be able to expect premium quality and freshness. The coffee is another consistency problem. My Caramel latte tastes different almost every time I order one (different temperature, sweetness, milk-to-espresso ratio, etc.) depending on who makes it. There seems to be no consistent standard. Overall: After repeated visits, my impression is that the business seems much more focused on cutting costs than on investing in quality, consistency, the customer experience, or its employees. I have given this place plenty of chances because I wanted to support a local cafe, but at this point, I don't feel that the experience is worth the money. Unless these issues are addressed seriously, I will be taking my business elsewhere. They are already so slow compared to the other coffee shops, and if there were more competition in town, they would either have to close down or make a major shift in their quality and service. Their winning card seems to be the lack of competition in a small, touristy town. They know customers don't have many alternatives, so there isn't much pressure on them to improve. And as you can see they didn't even take time to reply to any of the yelp or Google reviews and that means they don't really care.
