UPDATE after response from owner: we're totally appreciative of his immediate rectifying of the order mishap. We understand small mistakes can happen and really appreciate it. Updating to 5 stars because we can tell the staff is working hard to ensure a good customer experience. This is a solid breakfast option for anyone staying in the village. A wide array of menu options, plenty of seating, cute items to look at while you wait for your order, and I appreciated that the staff walked around from the back and brought every single person their order right to them rather than having the guests pick them up at the counter. A small touch, but meaningful and noticeable. We're excited to give this place another try and recommend it to our friends who are staying here. Original review: Paid for a sausage breakfast burrito and got a breakfast burrito with a lot of tortilla, and legit 0 sausage in it. For over $20 with tip, this is very disappointing to not have 1 single bite of meat in a pricey burrito, as shown in the photos. This was also not a busy morning, they were wrapping up giving a group their order when I arrived, and I was legit the only person in line. Giving 2 stars instead of 1 because it is a cute shop. read more

Let me just say that $29 for a VEGETARIAN breakfast sandwich is ridiculous! I was starving and there wasn't any place else to eat for breakfast, and I should've just cancelled the order...as it was tasteless and not worth it at all. Maybe $12 for an egg sandwich but not $29. And no discounts for Northstar employees...done with this place. read more

This restaurant is located within the north star ski Village. If you sit outside, your view is of condo balconies. Nonetheless I recommended as a good place to eat. The food was outstanding. The smoked chicken salad was large fresh and delicious. I would order it again in a heartbeat. The smoked chicken sandwich was quite good, too. It's a little store with all kinds of things that you may have forgotten on your trip. You order at the counter and then they deliver your food. You can sit inside, too. I would imagine they do lots and lots of takeout here. read more

Great menu and service. My husband and I both ordered the avocado toast with an egg added. It was HUGE but it was DELISH! My beverage choice was a matcha latte hot, it was very very earthy, I only had half of it. Probably would not order that again. My husband really enjoyed his triple cappuccino. read more

Copper Lane Cafe and Provisions - Grocery Near Me - Truckee, California

Copper Lane has great food and all the essentials you need if you're staying in Northstar Village.

I love this place! My husband and I stay in the Village at Northstar very often and this is my favorite place to grab a coffee in the morning, a beer after a long day of snowboarding, and to shop for any miscellaneous items I may have forgotten at home or ran out of. This place just has good vibes. Their selection of goods is surprisingly impressive with many great/quality brands and local products. I checked out their website and they mention their focus on "local, organic & natural foods," which is apparent! Of course you can expect prices to be higher than your average grocery store, but that's expected at a resort (and worth it in my opinion for the quality and convenience). Staff is always super kind and helpful too! From my experiences, every person who works here has been very pleasant and friendly. They have some yummy house-made food items for breakfast and lunch like smoked meats English muffins. They have several beers on tap to enjoy in the cafe, and a huge selection of wines and liquors. They have a pastry case too where I assume at least some of the offerings are house-made. Personally I'm huge fan of their espresso (catch me ordering a double espresso or cappuccino almost every morning we're in town!), chocolate chip cookies, cinnamon rolls, and turkey and Brie paninis, and ham and cheese croissants. read more

Love the food, the service is great, the chef is awesome, what's there not to like. All handmade from scratch.

Not sure how this place has under 4 stars -- 5 stars deserved all the way! With the limited amount of decent food selections in the village, this spot far outshines the rest. The smoked meats are incredible and the sandwiches hit the spot. Can't wait to come back to try the breakfast selections! read more

Came in to see what was offered for provisions. I found more than what I was looking for and then some. Lots of niche products and yummy treats. Cute place to kill time or get something you forgot while packing. read more

I built my own sandwich and I felt the price was very reasonable. Everything is made to go but there is a space to eat there. There's also a water station by the place where you pick up the coffee, which I used to refill my water bottles. It's also a little grocery store which is convenient. Also the gallon of water from the grocery section was $5 and the water bottles were around 3-5 bucks each from the fridge in case you're thinking of buying water like my friends and I did. read more

We waited in line behind 2 people. When it was our turn the lady who worked there walked to the coffee machine to make 3 drinks. That's fine but she never came back, she just walked to the other side of the counter. If she needed us to move to the other line, that would be fine but a little communication would have been nice. *Edit to response from owner. I am glad she works hard, most people do. I also don't think a yelp review is useless, it's a way to share my experience. Staying to ask to speak to a manger and cause a scene was not needed. I hope you have an excellent New Year. read more

Super cute and clean place! Stop for cup of hot coffee, sweet, snacks. The service was fast and efficient. Friendly cashier! Thank you. read more

Great dirty chai and hot chocolate! I'd definitely come back to try their food next time. read more

Cute store with lots of little tchotchkes. I ordered a build your own breakfast burrito with tofu. It was amazing and flavorful. The person working there was super sweet and wait for my indecisiveness read more

Good place to grab a quick breakfast! They have a wide selection of breakfast sandwich! I got the classic veggie sandwich and a Latte . Apart from sandwiches there are some bakery items like bagels and croissants. This cafe also offers Tahoe merchandise and souvenirs . You can grab a sunscreen at this place if you have forgotten one for your hike :) There's plenty of parking available near this cafe! Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a quick breakfast before a hike in Tahoe read more

Great place to grab a snack or a sandwich. Great selection of beer and wine. One of the few places open in the off season.

Great little addition to the resort. Found many things we needed. Lady at the register was so sweet too

My husband and I came here this morning and got coffee and breakfast sandwiches. I got the brisket on my sandwich and hands down I can say this was the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had. The coffee was very good too. Cute store, great service. We will be back! read more

I had the opportunity to enjoy a few pre-fixed / catered dinners this year from Copper Lane Cafe. And as usual I was not disappointed, in fact our family and friends were blown away by not only the dishes, but the service that they provided to us. They really made our special occasions "special"! Thank you Travis for your mouth watering dishes! Thank you Sean for your first class service! And thank you Ale for the setup and presentation. read more

My go-to for coffee, breakfast, and provisions when I'm staying at Northstar. They have everything you may need, great variety , and good brands. They also serve hot breakfast and lunch. I've only had the breakfast, but the avocado toast with added egg and bacon was really tasty with the balsamic vinegar. The breakfast burrito is huge. They also have baked food goods and coffee. There's always a line, so do yourself a favor and order ahead online. There was a drink that I wanted not on the online menu, so I called and it was no problem. She told me what to order that was the same price and remembered my name. No problem. Can be a little pricey, but so convenient with good food. read more

Copper Lane Cafe and Provisions - avocado toast to-go with an added over easy egg and bacon. - Grocery Near Me - Truckee, California

This is our 2nd time to Lake Tahoe, ie truckee. Both times we stayed at north lodge. Staff was friendly and it was an easy quick order. Just 2 sides of bacon, cappuccino, and a ham and cheese croissant. Everything was good and it has a good little store for buying things. read more

I've never left a review before but I needed the people to know that this was the best breakfast burrito I've ever had in my whole life. The crunchy potatoes, stunning cheese sauce, homemade sausage, and whatever other magic goes into this is curing my hangover right now. It is worth the wait- let them cook!! read more

Copper Lane Cafe and Provisions - Sausage Breakfast Burrito - Grocery Near Me - Truckee, California

I went grocery shopping at this run-down store, and it was a total mess. Everything was dirty, the shelves were dusty, and most of their products were expired! It's a shame that this is the only place in Northstar to buy provisions. The things I bought, like eggs and meat, were set to expire in just two days, and the customer service was awful. read more

Holy smokes, Copper Lane is an oasis at Northstar! Hours are flexible so I can get a breakfast burrito before the first run of the day, and I can grab a cold one before leaving. They seem to have everything I need. Maybe too much hahahaha! I don't leave a lot of reviews, it takes something truly bad or super outstanding for me to do so. At Copper - it's good! the people behind the counter are so friendly, very service oriented, always making me feel welcome. And y'all - if you have the chance to eat food prepared by Travis - DO IT. He's a great cook and a super chill human being. At Copper my belly is full, I'm hydrated, maybe a little Advil... all with a smile. I feel good after a full day at Northstar.... I feel great after leaving Copper Lane. 5 stars! read more

They literally have the best Reuben in the world. The meat was delicately smoked; nestled in a sandwiched that was perfectly toasted. Run don't walk to this place read more

This place is a perfect example of pure greed. They do not care about the experience of the customer. They cram the place full of junk to sell so that nobody can move at the eating area. They allowed a woman to sit at the table with a dog on the stool and the dog was eating off the table. Food isn't bad but is expensive. read more

Can I give 0 stars? We went to this cafe, looks dead. There's a lady working... or is she? She was on her phone. We walked in she didn't even say anything. We walked up to the counter waiting for her to say something, still nothing..we asked are you open? She answered in the most unmotivated way with yes as if she does not want to work or as if she hated that a customer even walked in to the store. I call that TERRIBLE SERVICE. I hate giving bad reviews but I must when it is due. It was so bad we just decided to leave to find a different coffee shop. read more

Of the couple Northstar Village food places we tried, Copper Lane Cafe was my favorite. We even went back later in the week. I don't normally order salads but splitting the Roasted Beet Salad $12 and the BLTA Sandwich $16 with fries $3 between two people made for a great lunch after a long day. I enjoyed the salad. I had to pick out quite a few wilting/spotted leaves (see the photo), but the fried cheese ball kinda made up for it. The bacon in the BLTA sandwich was thick and crispy and the avocado was a good addition. I really liked the corkscrew wedge fries. They were served very hot and crispy. The first day I was kinda sad that they only sold a full sized cheesecake with orange marmalade ($25) and not a single slice. I inquired about a more reasonable size for two and they just said a smaller size was not available. The second time we visited we got the BLTA again as well as a Burger $13. Both were very good. To my surprise they had a smaller two person cheesecake available! It was about $10. I was so excited about a good dessert after an exhausting day at Northstar. The casual cafe is located past the rental equipment store (kinda out of the way but not too far). There's also a cute little store where you can buy supplies like sunscreen and basic groceries like butter, milk, eggs, etc. There is bathroom access. You have to go down a long hallway located to the left of the refrigerated display case. I can see why big groups of friends and some Northstar employees gather here at the end of the day. They serve alcohol and it's a cute place to hang out. read more

Came in tonight at 7:10pm to get some hot chocolate for the kids. The girl at the counter is scrolling her phone, bothered that we're even in there in the first place. Ask for some hot chocolate, to which she replies that they're not serving hot chocolate anymore because she doesn't want to clean the machine again. The cafe closes at 8pm so what are you doing for the next hour? Horrible customer service and attitude. Please hire nicer people who are willing to work. read more

Copper Lane Cafe and Provisions - Breakfast muffin - Grocery Near Me - Truckee, California

We stayed at Northstar and were looking for a place with breakfast other than Starbucks. Someone in the Burton store recommended Copper Lane and we were so happy they did. The breakfast sandwiches and bowls were delicious and so were the lattes. They have lunch and dinner but we only had breakfast. The ingredients were fresh and the food has thought put into it. The store is fun in general because it has skin products, liquor, novelties and basically anything you would need on your trip. We ate here three days in a row and would go back if we had more time. read more

I was on the hunt for a bowl of clam chowder soup and was happy to have found some here. It was not anything special, but it was warm and satisfying on a cold morning. I will say that the bread it came with was actually very crisp and tasty. I would come back just for the bread. My husband had the pastrami sandwich and said it was good, but a bit dry because it did not have enough sauce. What I did love about this café was all of the gift items! There were bath products, candles, pet items, cards, and so much more. I would have spent a longer amount of time here if it was not so crowded at the time we went. read more

Went to pick up some coffees, ended up ordering the pastrami sandwich. Turned out to be absolutely phenomenal. I typically don't write these reviews, but 11/10 culinary experience. Do yourself a favor and order one. read more

Great service with many options for a quick breakfast , coffee or morning pick-me-up cocktail . The drinks were good and the sausage burrito was very tasty. I LOVE the fact that the chef was wearing a chef coat. There isn't much of that anymore unless the it's an upscale restaurant. This is a very cafe with friendly staff and delicious food. Highly recommended! read more

Very expensive because it's in the village. And items are lacking. Produce had all gone bad while I was there. It was also $10 for coffee. There are better places in the village read more

Hilarious the response from the owner is exactly the problem. Now it all makes sense why you have terrible employees and terrible reviews reflecting that... you're hiring people with your same crap attitude. 10 hours into her shift It was 4:00 pm you don't even open until 10 am. I'm also in the service industry and couldn't imagine how angry I'd be too if every day i looked there was another bad review of my team and myself, but then I'd probably self reflect and make changes instead of respond in anger. No problem will never be back from the looks of it nobody ever wants to come back after a visit in your store. Good luck you're going to need it. read more

Copper Lane Provisions, in the Northstar Village is a must stop when visiting Northstar. The food is amazing and the staff is warm and welcoming. It's a great place to start or end your day. They have a wide selection of food, booze, beer, and souvenirs. For breakfast, their breakfast burritos are amazing and at other times I can't recommend their brisket enough. Stop in here, you won't regret it. read more

My family loves Copper Lane! Very well-stocked for a compact little store with high quality goods, a nice selection of wine, and even gifts and toys for the kids. The owner is super nice, and the vibe is always casual and welcoming. Copper Lane has saved us many times over the past few years (e.g when we realized we were out of something while cooking or baking), so we are super grateful to have it nearby as our local convenience store! Thank you, Copper Lane! read more

Well Copper Lane has done it again! I brought guests from out of town for a pre-fixed meal and it exceed our expectations! Travis blew us away with his Cheddar Broccoli Soup. Then he brought out brisket that had been smoked for 16 hours! It was an amazing gastronomical experience. I was too busy eating to take pictures :-) read more
