I ordered a cold brew. While waiting I noticed the white lady manager start yelling at the cash register person to not pour the cold brew because they are not ready. They haven't steeped yet. Over hearing I went to the register and asked for a latte instead. But the register person never changed it, after waiting for a while I asked again and a different barista pointed me at the same cold brew that the manager got mad at. I couldn't wait anything longer so I left with the cold brew. It does taste unfinished brewing. Don't recommend this place (the vibe is cute tho) There's a Starbucks less than 5 min walk away. read more

Really delicious pastries and coffee. Croissants are a must! They are amazing, am I in France? Go early, they run out! read more

Updating this because I dropped by again and wow what a difference staff can make. Food and drinks were prompt and delicious, the americano was one of the best I've had. Thanks to the staff and owners for making this the destination it should be read more

Yikes. $20 for a tiny over cooked grilled cheese sandwich with a lukewarm 1/2 filled bowl of tomato soup, and a 4 oz chai latte. Nice J1 staff doing their best to put out the drinks and food when busy over the holiday. However the pricing is ridiculous. The tourists don't care when they are on holiday, but as a local we expect a much better value and quality of the food service at a reasonable price. read more

Really disappointing. I read positive stuff in the paper that I picked up at a local hotel. I was excited for a new spot. In fact I drove to check it out. It was easily a 15 minute wait for a double espresso...which was fine. 25 plus min wait for an egg sandwich. The sandwich was on a Safeway hamburger bun. I literally went to Starbucks to get a cup of coffee after :( read more

It came recommended to me for the lavender latte, and I've liked the things I've tried, but on each of my visits there have been a few notable annoyances. They're often out of things. It's a great option, with fresh-made food at reasonable prices (much better than anything on the mountain). But they stop serving food at 3pm. And it seems like generally earlier than that because they run out of a lot of things (like chili, or rolls for meatball sammiches). The lavender latte is NOT a coffee latte, which I don't think was clear on the menu. I like that they use real latte to infuse the milk. But it's just that--lavender-infused steamed milk. And it takes them a while to make fairly simple food and drinks--about twice as long as I'd expect. The grilled cheese is pretty good, nice and gooey and made with real cheese, but a bit lacking in flavor--it would be nice if they added something for flavor (a sharper cheese or apple slices or grilled onions or a jam or sauce, whatever). It's a good location, right on the corner of the shops by the parking lot and easy to access as you come or go, and a quick walk from the lifts. read more

Coffeebar - Olympic Valley - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Olympic Valley, California

Slowest service I've ever experienced. 45 minutes to get a latte. 1 person making coffee

The coffee is pretty good. I heard someone complain about prices but I didn't think it was bad. Avocado toast is pretty good, small-ish but great for a light breakfast. The wait for our food was pretty long, one dish came out first and there was a long pause in between. By the time my husband got his food mine was cold. read more

The Coffeebar will be your favorite coffee stop in the Squaw/Truckee Area. Not only is the coffee amazing, but the food is even better! The energy balls are made from true happiness while the bowls and other baked goods are just as delicious. They even have vegan/gluten free/paleo options for any dietary restrictions. After eating here 3x in two days and consuming around 5 energy balls, I truly cannot say enough about this place. If you're looking for food, make sure you get here before 3pm when they stop serving food and start serving beer! read more

Really happy that this place exists at Olympic Valley to contrast the quality of other food offerings. The lattes were really smooth yet strong enough, I might actually need to buy some online! The breakfast foods (panini, cinnamon roll, burrito bowl) were nicely warmed and also tasted great. They have wonderful staff and service, and lots of seating space. read more

Got the chance to visit the Lake Tahoe area recently for work and while staying at Squaw Valley I had this amazing coffee shop just a hop, skip and a step away. I first had it when I arrived, close to closing time. I was coming in on East Coast time and needed a pick me up so I got an iced tea to go. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was intoxicating. I found out that the rings and much of the wood/ski's used to decorate the walls were all donated! The second time I went in I got one of the awesome branded mugs (Miir) which gave me a free drink. The barista suggested I get the most pricey on the menu since I was buying the cup (hehe) so I got a lavender latte that was heavenly. I also got the veggie quiche which came out promplty. The staff was friendly, and very engaging with their customers whom you could tell were regulars. Very spacey location with lots of room for groups or indivduals who simply want to work on their computers. Bonus - I spotted olympic skiier Gus Kenworthy while I was in the shop. We will never forget those Sochi Puppies, Gus! read more

I was looking for a warm me up drink to get me going before starting a day of skiing. At 10:30am on a Saturday, this place had a bit of a line (~10 people ahead of me) and it took about 20 minutes to get my drink. I got a lavender latte, which was actually pretty tasty! Perfect amount of floral smell and flavor without being overpowering. I would definitely get this again, although I would size up to the 12 oz cup 3.5/5. The energy balls (chia seeds, chocolate, oats, etc.) are tasty enough, and there are lots of other cafe goods here. I also had a bite of the orange ginger scone, and it was generally decent. 3.25/5 on the baked goods. My favorite item I picked up here was the activated charcoal lemonade (pre-packaged by Pressed Juicery), which tasted like honey lemon water but was a decidedly black color. read more

Lattes and coffee are good. Pastries are really yummy. Much better option than Starbucks or other options in village. Customer service is terrible. I really wish they would do a better job. Employees are not nice which is disappointing. read more

I was looking forward to this place. It has great reviews and seemed like it would be the ideal coffee shop. Was disappointed by the food and drinks. The food here is not good. Unseasoned, cold, and clearly frozen food out in the microwaved. It felt like I was in a cafeteria. The coffee was poorly made. I'm giving them two stars because they have great customer service . Wouldn't recommend. read more

Ugh. Went in for just a couple plain coffees, one iced coffee. Like pulling teeth. 6-7 employees to a few customers and it was like we were a bother. Coffee was horrible, bitter. Did get to hear about some bad boyfriend and how the previous night the crew didn't do their jobs, you know, good talk in front of customers. Don't recommend. read more

Came in excited to try the gluten free pastries. Disappointed to see the gluten free and regular items touching in the same pastry case. Got a gluten free banana chocolate chip muffin. Super dry and dense. These days it's easy to make and find great gluten free items. This place isn't it. On top of that, the staff was rude. So short and disinterested. Was hoping it might have been a bad day, but based on other reviews it appears the staff is often rude. read more

So yummy. Great Gibraltar and chocolate croissant (get it warmed up). I'd like to try the oat milk version but they were out. Super cool staff, which is surprising, given the somewhat snooty clientel they have to stomach. Love the high focus on sustainability. Pasta stir sticks! read more

After a 30 minute wait, got 2/3 orders wrong, and completely forgot one. The manager then became increasingly irate when she couldn't find the order on the Square terminal, and eventually blamed me for her staff getting the order wrong. After getting flustered, she did not give the refund promised. I'm not someone to leave a bad review, but this was the rudest staff I've experienced in years. The food is great but it's not fun to get mistreated. read more

Love this place!! Delicious, healthy food, and a fabulous array of coffee drinks. Breakfast, lunch, some pastries, and snacks. Super nice people that work there. Free Wi-Fi and large area with tables for you, your computer, food and whatever. Countertop tables too. Environmentally aware. Instead of stir sticks they used raw linguine. Well-lit, lots of window space to watch the promenade. read more

Was killing time in Squaw Valley so I decide to go spend some time in a Coffeebar. I've been to the one in Reno and the one in Truckee so why not. Per their website: Coffeebar is the fuel that propels you throughout your day. Inspired by the Italian coffeebar culture, we believe we are Hospitalians first, baristas and chefs second. Making people feel good is our M.O. Founded in Truckee, CA in 2010, Coffeebar was built off of over two decades of coffee industry knowledge. But at the end of the day, we're only as good as the next cup we make. I must say they alway make a great coffee, this location lived up to the company MO. They offered me a taste of cold brew. Next time I'm in Squaw I might go for that verses my usual. Lots of seating options - out door, tables, bar with a few out the window. Trust me this is much better thant the Faux Starbucks in the same area. read more

Yes this place is a gem! Tucked away in the squaw Valley village. The service was super friendly. I ordered a caramel latte and my friend ordered a regular latte. Both were so good. They took some time to make but the wait was well worth it. The inside is very cute and would be a great place to work for the day. It's worth a detour for a coffee stop on the road or if you are staying in Tahoe. read more

Maybe the worst coffee of my life! The pastries were horrible too. Did not (could not) finish anything....

I understand that things are different right now, but I was still very disappointed in the products that I received during two different visits. I ordered the breakfast panini during one, that was decent - but it was lukewarm and I started eating it right after getting it. It was like it sat under a low energy heat lamp. The second time I ordered the oats - now those were awful, i received them super cold and lumpy (really just chunks of flavorless cold oats), and they forgot two ingredients (dried goji? berries and honey - sort of important). So that was a waste. I tried calling multiple times to ask someone to address this but no response. read more

Got food poisoning from Coffeebar at Palisades. They were also out of multiple items. DO NOT GO THERE!

this was really delicious! has lots of vegan options and delicious variety of drinks and a tasty menu. a little o the expensive side but so worth it after a long bike ride. i recommended the paleo bowl(mine without chicken) and a really tasty coconut iced chai. also beautiful location! read more

I do not think the name does this shop enough justice. It is more than a coffee bar. They have a delightful assortment of beverages: coffee, tea, alcohol. I ordered their house chai latte without agave sweetener. It was delicious. I returned to order a latte, which was prepared perfectly. Couldn't get enough of the coffeebar, so I returned again and had a Lavender Lemonade. What an amazing concept!! They have a lovely selection of pastry items and food for sale. The coffeebar leaves their doors and windows open which makes the temperature inside very nice, but also welcomes in flies. The coffeebar staff members are friendly. The space is nice and can accommodate large groups, with plenty of outdoor seating. Recommendations for improvement: screens for food to deter flies, and increased staffing during busy event weekends. At one point during Western States weekend, the line (of 16 people long) was informed that food would take 30 minutes to prepare upon ordering. read more

Awesome cup of happy this morning! Try the Gibraltar (espresso w/ a splash of milk) and their mocha! Regular cup of coffee is great too! Cheery and friendly staff. Cool place to start your day! read more

Love this cute coffee shop! Their vanilla latte was amazing! Not too sweet and not too bitter. I would definitely come here over other coffee retail chains... Also, the service was super friendly! Looks like they host some after skiing events with live music starting at 3pm on Saturday. Def come check this place put! read more

The girl at the cashier register didn't get my order and when I came back and asked where it was she made it seem like it was on the way but she never entered it into the system, then when I told the employees I had been waiting, they were incredibly rude and made it seem like it was my fault that their Co worker didn't get my order right, I absolutely recommend going anywhere else than this if you want to be treated with any sort of respect. read more

Cute place with a wonderful outdoor patio and gorgeous view of the mountain. They serve coffee and delicious breakfast options in the morning, as well as beer and wine in the afternoon. If you save your morning receipt, it is good for a discount on a beer or wine during their happy hour in the afternoon. Although I was here in the summer, I am sure this would be a go-to during the ski season while in the Village. read more

It's ok. It's a bit overpriced for what you get. Chef Mike is in full swing in the kitchen.

Lavender latte was yum, but it is decaf so if you're looking for a pick me up, this is not the drink for you. Nice, clean place with a modern vibe. Located at the end of The Village at Squaw Valley (near their Conference Center). Menu looked good and healthy. Wished we didn't have dinner plans, paleo bowl sounded good. read more

I have gone to this establishment pretty much every time I've visited Squaw Valley or stayed there. It's a 50/50 if your order will be right. You really need to go over what you ordered and then again when it's handed to you. For the second time in about a month my receipt was different then what was handed to me. just last weekend I even tried to correct it and when it was handed to me wrong. I was told don't worry it's the same thing in a to go box when i ordered my meal to eat there and it wasn't. I reached out via email on the website got a response really fast asking what location I responded twice to "Courtney Martin" Marketing Coordinator at Coffeebar and no reply since then ..... they just don't care .... There is a starbucks a few hundred feet away at least if they get it wrong they will correct the problem with no questions asked maybe "Courtney Martin" should work there a few weeks to get some training. read more

Love this place! I went to a Coffee Bar in Colorado and had the best coffee of my life. (Lavender, almond milk latte). The Squaw Village location didn't disappoint. Peruvian Coffee black was delicious, slightly nutty and very smooth. I also enjoyed one the many Gluten free pastry options. Excellent texture and flavor muffin (banana chocolate chip). Came back in the afternoon for a lavender tea latte. Great service, food, and drink options. Beer, wine, keto, paleo, gluten free, expresso, coffee bar. Something for everyone. read more

The server was rude and dismissive, more interested in. chatting with other servers then concentrating on my order. After repeating my order 3+ times, she messed it up and forgot the hot chocolate for my boy. When I asked them to make another, they said their machine broke but somehow we're still making coffee drinks and didn't offer a cold chocolate milk. On top of that, sausage burrito Joel didn't come out with all the food it was supposed to and we had to ask for the tortilla. Awful service, mediocre food at best and meh coffee. Don't go here. Starbucks is more predictably good. read more

CoffeeBar in Squaw Valley does everything right! They open early at 6:00 am and stay open until 6:00 pm. Their coffee is so amazingly good and made correctly every time! The staff is professional, friendly and they have a passion for the coffee and the food. The food is wonderful and they have several items to choose from. They also serve beer and wine. Great vibe and a killer view of the mountain. This is an amazing place for coffee, food, or getting some work done. Inside and outside seating with a community table in the back. The bakery items are freshly made and are stellar! They have two locations in Truckee and one in Reno also. read more
