    Spanish Caravan
    Napoleon J.

    We have been to the Crescent Cafe a few times now, it has become a must stop after the river. The sandwiches are all on point my favorite is the BLT wrap. The crew is polite and quick as they can be for making everything fresh. Also their beer selection is amazing.

    This is why I like Yelp. Apparently not a lot of places in Truckee are open for lunch on Mondays, and Yelp helped me learn about the deli in the health food store. So so so yummy. They have a variety of sandwiches, I chose the Spanish caravan - delicious salami with a perfect fig jam compliment. You can also pick up a smoothie or juice across the room, and of course any other side from the precooked section. So many delicious options!

    I felt the staff was rude. I drove here from 15 miles away because of the rating and they closed early and turned me away.

    My go-to for healthy, filling, and cheap lunches! The staff is always amazing and they have lots of options for dietary restrictions.

    Little on the pricy side for a sandwich, but excellent food. Especially for people with all kinds of allergies or sensitivities.

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.

I ordered a Dutch chocolate Mocha, a blueberry scone, and a cheddar/chive pastry; all were delicious and warmed up even without having to ask. They also had a full menu for breakfast options: breakfast sandwiches, pastries, cereal, bowls, bagels, etc. Right near Donner State Park, it is the perfect spot to walk on over to after going on the trail by the lake.

    This place has potential but…read more The building is cool but the main room is cluttered with junk (especially in the corner) and it's not clear which of their product offerings they're still committed to. It's often empty, and yet there's no wifi.. which means it's a lot easier to head the other 10 cafes in town that don't introduce this friction. They microwave the baked goods without asking (my scone was destroyed), and they've done too little with the outdoor area. Coffee is decent, but the employees always look haggard because of the drive-thru. It's just a confusing place, and it doesn't clearly tell you what it wants to be (except a drive-thru coffee place that hates wifi and doesn't fashion a nice seating experience).

You bus your own table which is fine if they don't ask for tip, but they do... and they had the bus tubs completely filled to brim and it was not busy. So there was no where to put the dishes. Also not one table was wiped down, so it's a bit awkward. They probably need to have another staff member to assist with this so that one person can remain behind counter. The staff is friendly but what did rub me the wrong way as well is it seems they are asked to skimp on the food at this restaurant. We ordered a side of toast and a side of bacon, both $5 each and they give you one slice of toast and one and a quarter piece of bacon broken into three quarter pieces.. just not worth it. The food tasted good but is overshadowed by the rest of the experience unfortunately :/ wouldn't return as of right now.
