Their coffee is pretty good and they always put a pretty little leaf or heart on the frothed milk coffees. However, the big bummer about this establishment is the culture, the 'tude, the vibe (call it what you want) that flows from nearly everyone there, staff and patrons alike. Unfortunately, the vibe is more pronounced every time I visit. It's a massive turn-off. I didn't feel it was a place all were welcome. I, personally, prefer a healthy mix of a nice atmosphere, friendly staff that invites friendly patrons, and good coffee. I'm going to have to say ¡Adios! to this place because they're all WAY too cool. read more

ABSOULTLY THE WORST COFFEE SHOP I HAVE EVER BEEN TO. I ordered an iced lavender LATTE. Keyword LATTE!! They gave me a lavender TEA and refused to remake it. I literally threw it in the trash right in front of them. My boyfriend ordered an iced black americano and the espresso tasted burnt. Do yourself a favor and don't even waste your time or your money here. read more

I have come to Coffee Bar (Downtown) multiple times and it always fails to meet my expectations. The upscale and environment and swanky tourist customers are deceiving. At my most recent attempt enjoying Coffee Bar, I got a vegan banana chocolate chip muffin which I asked to be warmed up. Can't be too hard, right? I was sitting at a table for 10 minutes and had yet to receive my warm muffin (which, by the way, is more expensive than a similar vegan muffin at Zuri), so I asked the barista (short brunette with space buns and silver-blond highlights) where my muffin was. She walked to the microwave, opened the door, and pulled out my muffin that was just as room temperature as 10 minutes ago because some genius forgot to turn the microwave on. She didn't notice nor care that it wasn't warm and gave it to me. I was in a time crunch (because I was waiting for 10 minutes my muffin to warm up) and didn't have time to ask her to actually warm it up, so I asked for her to bag it. Instead of putting it in a bag or even handing me a bag, she throws it at my chest and trots away to talk to another customer. Real winner. The muffin was good though (thanks to the bakery facility)! Additionally, last summer I got an iced coffee that was pretty much all ice and water. The only thing keeping me from giving a one star is a wonderful conversation I had with an employee quite a while ago and the fact that they no longer use wooden stirrers but instead pasta sticks. With that said, I will not be returning to Coffee Bar and supporting Zuri instead! read more

excellent across the board. good coffee, good service, good food. will return next time i'm in truckee.

This is my favorite place to visit while in Truckee, they have the best, hands down, vegan and gluten free baked goods. Plus their coffee isn't bad either! read more

Great coffee and tea, food can be hit or miss. Last time I was there I had a butternut squash soup and it was very good, my companions had the quinoa and kale wrap, they said it completely lacked flavor and Quinoa felt undercooked. read more

Dull tasting grilled cheese.. too much bread (French roll) and skimpy on all of the other ingredients. I didn't stay for coffee because the atmosphere was too industrial and uninviting. Pastries look like they may be good. read more

Love this new find. Off the main road but worth the detour. So hip so cool and so yummy.

I dont even drink coffee but I love this place. The sandwiches are delicious and unique. You HAVE to try the strudel, my favorite flavor so far is the bananas foster. Friendly staff. read more

Best tasting coffee in Truckee and committed to the environment! read more

Coffeebar - Greg, Owner - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Truckee, California

Fantastic coffee and definitely the best shop in town. The lattes are made with care -- the hot ones have gorgeous foam designs and the iced ones are layered when a lovely frosting of crema on the top. The coffee itself is very good, smooth and toasty without tasting burnt. Their food is delicious as well. The strudel is divine and the sandwiches are wonderful. I usually get the Parma (mozzarella, basil, tomato and prosciutto) and they grill it to perfection on a local bakery's ciabatta roll. I think sandwiches run around $6-7, which is really good for Truckee. The only downside is parking -- they have a free lot in front of the business, but have to share it with the salon next door and on more than one occasion, I've seen a stylist park in the lot and leave her car there for the day while she works The lot's very small (probably 12ish spots) and in the winter, the free dirt lot down the street's closed. It's not really a problem if I'm just heading in for a few minutes to grab a coffee, but if I want to stay there for a few hours to get some work done, it can be a pain. I know the paid parking issue downtown is beyond either business' control, but it'd be nice if the employees could refrain from parking in there. read more

I almost always have a wonderful experience here. The staff is friendly and the coffee/espresso is excellent. I have, unfortunately, been disappointed on more then one occasion and its usually the same female Batista each of those times. But over all, the food is fantastic and MOST of the Batistas are very good at their jobs. This is one of my favorite coffee shops in the Tahoe/Truckee area! read more

Coffeebar - Thanks, Greg! Best looking/tasting mocha I've ever had. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Truckee, California

I'm not a tremendous fan of Starbucks so I try to branch out a little bit, this is my favorite place in Truckee to grab a great Cup of honest coffee, They have some food, baked goods and some specialty beers and wines available but so far I've stuck just to the coffee. Service is fast and friendly, reasonably sized seating area inside, and plenty more outside when the weather is nice. Very clean every time I have been in. I highly recommend the double short cappuccino, ask for the smaller cup, this way it is strong enough that the milk does not dilute the flavor of the coffee. An excellent cup of Joe at a very reasonable cost read more

I normally order an iced chai tea with soy. I decided to try it here, but did not like the flavor as much as I enjoy the chai tea from Starbucks (& I am not much of a Starbucks lover). I took probably about 4 small sips of my iced chai and wasted the rest. If you have ever had chai from Peet's Coffee I can say it has similar flavor, but a bit waterier. The atmosphere of the place was awesome though! & I love the lion logo. P.S. : Get there early if you want a cinnamon roll. I wanted one for my road trip back home, but they were all out. Hopefully I'll have better luck next trip! read more

We spent the weekend in Truckee for my friends birthday. The first morning we woke up and took and walk. We stumbled across the Coffeebar and were so happy we did. They have the nicest baristas and best coffee. Not to mention a cool coffeehouse vibe. If we lived in Truckee I would definitely be a regular. In fact, I ended up going in for another coffee on our way out of town. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to support a local coffee shop. read more

Great Vietnamese iced coffee and cold brew. Slightly off the main drag off downtown Truckee. Friendly folks and great looking baked goods.

I gave one star because the energy bite was good, but the matcha latte I ordered was bitter and overpriced. It was by far the worst matcha latte I've ever gotten. I'm not sure why this place has so many good reviews, but don't waste your time here. read more

I'm obsessed with this place! First off, their pastries are not only amazing, but there are gluten free and vegan options. I highly recommend the gf brownie or gf chocolate chip banana muffin. Their lattes are great hot or iced, and their espresso beans are my favorite to buy for lattes at home. The employees are friendly and helpful. Their prices are good. I live an hour and a half away, and sometimes I make the drive just for the scenery and the coffee/brownie. read more

Coffee is so so. The prices are not and certainly not the rather iffy WiFi, which the staff seems to feel is OK being down.

This morning I had a slow start. The bars in Truckee had just opened after quarantine last night and I was a bit hung over. Waking up I began to wander around Truckee looking for a good spot to sober up. I entered coffee bar right as they opened and little did I know I was in for the best customer experience I've had in my coffee going career. I met Hannah She was busy crushing her morning routine when I ordered a small coffee and a croissant. If she hasnt gotten a raise yet then maybe you guys should look into it. Her knowledge of coffee, customer, service and all around good hearted nature made me feel right at home. She balance her morning objectives perfectly all the while delivery great service. She is definitely a comodity to this small coffee shop and made a returning customer out of me instantly. If you want a good start to your morning in truckee coffee bar is a must. Thank you for a great experience Hannah I will definitely be coming back. read more

Once again Coffee Bar wins best coffee, but RUDEST, LAMEST, too cool to be polite baristas. They brought us the wrong order and then were rude when I brought it back so they could give it to the right person. Always so rude. Sad because the coffee is great. Also burrito was good but too dry. Just my opinion. read more

Coffee cup was damaged leading to coffee all over the vehicle, sandwiches were cold upon collection, no real social distancing being followed. Will not return to this location or the one in Reno read more

Had to stop here for my morning coffee and so glad I did! Tried their lavender latte over ice which was one of the best coffees Ive ever had. The shop was cute too and the service was good. When in truckee, this is the place to go for great coffee. read more

Wow. Good coffee with Loads of GF food choices!! GF bran blueberry muffin was great along with veggie and protein rich quinoa bowl!

Conveniently located along Truckee's hippest corridor, Coffeebar provides a fresh and happening refuge with diverse sweet and savory offerings. After multiple visits and varied samplings of their Italian inspired menu, I've experienced a refreshing consistency in their detail to flavor and aroma, warm hospitality, commitment to ingredient sourcing, and global appreciation for culture and the arts. read more

The best way to describe my experience at this place is: TERRIBLE! We arrived in the early afternoon for a cup of coffee and a muffin. The employee had to tilt the coffee dispenser to fill one cup. So, we got the bottom of the barrel. To make things worse, the coffee was cold. The muffins we got were cold, like they were just defrosted. The taste as you might expect was horrible. With the coffee or the muffin, isn't it reasonable to expect the employee to offer to warm them up. We left Coffeebar saying this is one place in Truckee we will never return to. read more

I was in truckee visiting for presidents weekend and tried this place out for the first time. The house coffee was great, although the scone was a little dry. Overall the service was exceptional. The young man at the register Rolando, was very nice, helpful and incredibly hospitable. My experience was very positive and I will definitely be coming back here next time I'm in town. read more

Amazing experience at coffee bar! Not only was the coffee amazing, but the service was even better! My friend and I were drinking our coffee at the table and an employee came by carrying a bunch of high chairs. He stopped, put them down, and asked us if we were enjoying our coffee. Seriously, I felt like we were in a five-star restaurant. Highly recommend. read more

Had an iced coffee. Apparently they don't fill it all the way up because it is assumed you'll add milk. It would have been nice if they asked beforehand if I needed room. Nice outdoor seating. Gross bathrooms. read more

The scones will make you moan with delight, the espresso is unlike any that I've had elsewhere, and every person that works there is super friendly and accommodating. I also love the bottomless house sparkling water and crepes. , Strudels are yummy treats too. The fact that it is within walking distance of my office is dangerous!! read more

Liked the place, good coffee. Slow service, over cooked poached eggs and over spiced quinoa bowl. Was hoping to love it but not much care in preparation of the food here. To bad. read more

Stopped here on our way out of Tahoe. Extremely rude customer service from the second we walked in. Should've known then that we should leave. After ordering 3 drinks and dealing with the rude cashier, we waited 20 MINUTES for our drinks. After about 10 people who ordered after us got their drinks we went to the barista to check on our order. She replied with "we have a lot of tickets". She didn't even look up when she was talking to us. Also, she continued to touch her hair which is disgusting when dealing with peoples food and drinks. I've been to Coffeebar in Reno and Squaw and they were both great. Unfortunately I will not be back to this one due to how rude the staff is. read more

This is a nice homey cafe. Good coffee and pastries. I stumbled into this place looking for some munchies and a restroom, but decided not to eat there because they were in the process of closing. I'm pretty sure they would have served us since they seemed so welcoming and polite, but I didn't feel right keeping them from their families at the end of the day. We'll have to visit earlier next time to set and enjoy the place more. read more

Great coffee bar off the beaten path. I went to sweet cherries the day before and did not like the experience or coffee as much as coffeebar. Coffeebar had good looking baked goods as well as Italian style coffee. Definitely a spot locals go to. If I make it back to truck I will definitely go back there for my morning coffee. read more

Really excellent coffee if you're a coffee snob. Only down side, looked like they use non organic milk and dairy products. That can be nasty ... Good pastries but avoid the breakfast calzone , very stuffy and heavy .. Not much flavor either. read more

This place is just too hipster for me. The food and pastries are O.K., nothing spectacular. Their good ol' fashion plain ol' coffee is just awful and overpriced, really. Coffee grounds everytime! My last experience here, I came to study for an exam on a weekday in August, it was really crowded with Tahoe hippies. The only available table was outside (it was really cold) next to some chick wearing thick rimmed glasses talking in a super annoying pretentious tone about mating patterns of yeast. I am not even kidding. I had to chug my coffee and gtfo before my head exploded. their other stuff must be ok because some of my friends love this place. I just cant get past the scene of the 'scene.' I prefer Tuff Beanz or Wild Cherries (even though the owner lady can be terrifying) read more

This cafe located on Jiboom St in Truckee is one of the best things that has hit this town! The owners attention to detail and the quality of the product (especially the coffee) is unmatched. I've loved evey experience there! read more

Coffee quality is passable, it's better than going to Starbucks I guess. I'm a huge coffee snob though, so any regular ol' coffeehouse isn't going to impress me, and Coffeebar falls into that category. read more

What a great place to stop as you cross Tahoe National Park. You'll find great coffee and pastries. They also have unique breakfast calzones and interesting and tasty crepes. It's a cool atmosphere. Treat yourself. It's definitely worth the stop.. read more

nice hang-out. .. plenty of indoor and outdoor sitting space. .. couch, stools, patio area with umbrellas. .. :) +: milk substitutions (soy, rice, almond). .. decent coffee and matcha tea lattes. .. there's a restroom -- most shops in the area didn't. .. :) -: coffee had a bit of a bitter after taste. .. tea latte ingredients separates --had to be swirled each time to blend ingredients. .. read more
