    Strawberry, banana rocky Road, mango sorbet, coconut pineapple.

    We are camping at Coloma resort and wanted to get some ice cream. We heard they had Gunthrie's ice cream. It's a cute little spot off the highway and there was ample parking in the front. I love the decor inside. The flavors were a little limited as it's mostly a woodfired pizza restaurant, but they had great flavors. I highly recommend the mango sorbet, coconut, pineapple, and definitely the banana rocky road. That last one definitely took me by surprise and I'm not a banana fan, but it was so good and I had to settle taste with amazing Rocky Road flavors! The staff is friendly and the surface was fast as we got to ice cream to go. Definitely a fun place to go if you need to get away for a sweet treat while camping in the area or just getting off the river for the day.

    Was recommended this place by our rafting staff and are so thankful they shared it!!! This place did not disappoint after a fun, albeit long and draining, outdoor excursion. We dropped in on a Saturday evening around 5:30PM and it was packed. The parking in the back had a decent number of spots and we still struggled to find a space. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating and we were thankfully able to find a table inside and out of the heat. Their menu isn't very extensive, but they offer a variety of pizzas + non-pizza items, like appetizers and salads. We got in line and ordered the Middle Fork Mushroom, The Hots, and an order of garlic rolls served with marinara. Honestly, the wait for our food was pretty rough after being tired and hungry from rafting (would probably still be rough even if we weren't drained). We waited for around 45 minutes after ordering for our food to arrive. A few tables around us inquired about their wait for their food--the whole place was just super busy. Will say it was worth it though, as we were served potentially the best garlic rolls we've ever ingested. They came out so hot, we burned our fingers and tongues, but did not care as they were SO good. So much garlic was loaded on top of the pillowy dough with cheese inside its layers. The amount of flavor was insane and epic. The four of us scarfed those down in like two minutes, so they were able to swap the empty plate for our two gorgeous 12" pizzas just as they arrived. The pizza dough was pretty thin, which wasn't bad but a little sad as it was really good, and the crust was the perfect thickness. The mushroom pizza had an amazing garlic flavor on top of the other delicious ingredients; we all agreed it was absolutely delicious. The hot honey pizza was also good, perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the honey, though a tad too spicy for us. Everything was gone within 15 minutes and we enjoyed every crumb of it. They also had some fire ranch, which even my friend who doesn't prefer ranch + pizza together enjoyed!! Prices were decent and definitely worth it for the quality and deliciousness of the food. Plus, the vibes were SUPER cute. They had live music playing in the corner and people were dancing (': A very snug situation, but very cozy and homey. If we ever make our way out for some other outdoor activities, this spot will be a MUST return.

    We went here at the end of a busy weekend. They were out of a few ingredients but were still able to improvise and get us what we were looking for. We got the arty hearty, peach party, pear walnut salad, brewed ice tea, and a hop water. Everything was delicious, fresh, and had amazing flavors! The restaurant appeared a bit disheveled but I think they were just trying to keep up with the crazy weekend. Employees were friendly.

    Came here for lunch as it opened, parking was a little difficult to find but other than that, this place is a gem! Unique decor & how they turned the place into a bar/ restaurant. My husband, dog and I sat on the 'porch' and ordered the middle fork mushroom & coloma combo pizza. Oven fired & thin crust pizza, it was outstanding- this is saying a lot as I'm not a pizza fan. The mushroom one was my fav and by far the most unique with even lions manes on it!! The pear & walnut salad was delicious and a generous portion. Will return & repeatable.

    Looks like a spot they must have live music on some nights:

    The mushroom pizza was fantastic and the pecan and spinach salad was really good too. It took about 25 min as I waited there for my pizza, but that's because they use a single wood-fired oven to bake them up and I'm not mad about it! Great thing but slightly chewy crust and locally sourced toppings. It had the feel of an old country store but run with the energy and flare of the younger generation. It felt family-friendly and there was a small stage where I presume they do live music some night.

    Pizza oven, games and excellent service!

    Cozy pizza joint with beer and wine. We had the buffalo chicken pizza! Devine! Not on the menu. Highly recommend

    Getaway Cafe was recommended to us by my brother in law and sister in law. They visited before…read moreduring their trips to Lake Tahoe. We checked it out this morning for breakfast. They had the banner for best brunch 2025 hanging nicely. Diane, the owner, put us on the waitlist and also showed us to our table. Very warm welcome! We started off with coffee. Hubby had the Chorizo Quesadilla and enjoyed it very much. The portion was enough for 2 meals. Sure enough, he took half home. I had the Coconut French Toast, the small portion. Even though it's supposed to be small, I still left some on my plate. Love the fresh sliced bananas with it! There are more menu items we would love to try. Just need to come back and visit again!

    What was good, was good: I had the eggs Benedict with home…read morefries. The home fries came out hot from the stove, lightly spicy and very tasty. The poached eggs were done perfectly and the English muffins were not burnt. (I have, unfortunately, experienced that before at another location.) My sister's breakfast was the corn beef hash, which really did look homemade, (unlike another restaurant in the area that served me what I believed was canned corn beef hash with almost soup texture.) her fruit was ripe. I do believe she very much enjoyed the breakfast. I may not be 100% correct on this, but I was rather disappointed in the hollandaise, it was a bit 'flat'. As far as I can tell, it was not true hollandaise. Most probably it was an egg Béchamel. It had a very creamy texture, a small tendency to congeal on the top, and lacked the bright zing of lemon and buttery texture and flavor of true hollandaise. Indicators, its lack of a slightly translucent and glossy finish, the lack of the acidity of lemon juice or vinegar, and did not weep butter, but instead seem to thicken and form a slight crust as I finished the Benedicts. The egg, Benedict were very tasty, but the hollandaise sauce with disappointing. (I really do like a good hollandaise.)
