    Very nice and pretty and, obviously new, inside, while waiting for to go food TV views of beautiful Tahoe
    Emily A.

    After my last review there were never green onions put on the nachos again so I'm guessing that was a mistake, and we are quite regular patrons here. They have gluten free bread and one of my favorite quick snack and:or breakfasts is the peanut butter banana and honey on that toast. Feels healthy and is filling. I will probably try the avocado toast again at some point but only when it's avocado season. Love the adult and kids nachos. Add turkey! Adult size is great to share. Open and bright restaurant and lovely outdoor seating for the right weather. Good luck in the high desert spring time. Everyone working is always pleasant and friendly. I love that they employ younger people too. Such a convenient location for us in South Reno. We are lucky to have you!

    This cafe was surprisingly good! Service was very friendly and helpful, and they were able to accommodate for celiac disease. The food was fresh and so good. It's next to a gas station but it was shockingly nice and clean inside. I definitely recommend!

    This place was so cute. The checker was so sweet and informative cuz I had never been there before. Sat outside on a sunny day. The food was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend, will go again.

    On the way back from a quick stop at the Virginia City Highlands, decided to try this well-rated cafe, and I'm so glad we did! Surprisingly located within a convenience stop (gas station, market, car wash), it was a spacious, well-lit location filled with visual references to nature and Tahoe. Parking was easy and there was plenty of comfortable indoor and outdoor seating, giving a slightly upscale cafeteria vibe. My only note is that the tables could have been tidied more frequently. Only saw someone go around to do this when we were done eating. The food seemed to be an interesting blend of Mexican-inspired, mostly healthy breakfast and lunch options. Lots of tea, coffee, and fresh squeezed juice options to pair with. I opted for the "green juice" minus celery. Pretty much everything (including my egg melt) came with top-notch, unique tortilla chips (crispy, whole grain?). I can only imagine that their house specialty nachos would be amazing. The egg melt came open face on a bagel...perfect thickness, moist but not chewy, topped with very fluffy eggs, ripe avocado and a rich melted jack cheese, with perfect (slightly nacho-esque) seasoning. (Much better than what some bagel-focused chains offer.) I will definitely come back for this!

    Look, you can see the lake from here!

    Tahoe Natural Cafe has become a great stopping off point on my walking tour. It's a great place to grab a cappuccino which is what I did recently. Met a friend for coffee and enjoyed the wide open concept of this cafe. They have outdoor seating but don't expect a lot of ambiance with that. Still it's a great place to have a cup of coffee as you gaze out at the parking lot and veterans parkway. I haven't been too drawn to order food but need to try something on their "specials" menu. The staff was very pleasant and had no problem pouring my cappuccino into a porcelain cup. I don't usually order coffee out so was worried... Beautiful place. Next time I'll order food!

    Great pitstop for my kid. It's a perfect place for her to play with other kids in a smaller setting. My smoothie tasted great and I'm a fan of this place. Today, my green machine smoothie had a whole half a banana in it so they need to blend it a little longer. Other than that, lovely visit.

    Nice views of the outside

    Nice, bright, clean, airy cafe with ample seating and friendly staff. Cute outdoorsy and Easter decorations line the walls, along with colorful art and a cool giant six-panel video screen displaying colorful Tahoe scenery. Food is a little on the pricey side (as with most things these days), but it's fresh and creative. Lots of disparate and fun-looking options on the menu, like a curry bowl and burritos and avocado toast and interesting-sounding salads and sandwiches. We found the bread to be very very good--I got the avocado toast and my wife got an open-faced breakfast sandwich on a bagel. The bagel was surprisingly easy to bite through with all the toppings, and nicely fresh and delicious. I liked that they didn't go overboard on the toppings for the sandwich or the avocado toast. The avocado toast had a nacho-tasting seasoning on it that was good for a few bites but a bit too much after that. However, it came with a wedge of lemon, which, when squeezed overtop, added a nice citrusy brightness. They make their own juice mixes, too, which is a plus, but when it came to the coffee options, they seemed a bit limited or basic. The dirty chai I got was too muted by the milk. Very minor complaints, though--all in all a nice brunch experience for us.

    Real Tahoe Turkey
    Helen A.

    A very unique restaurant with a healthy menu full of veggie loaded sandwiches, fruit smoothies, and healthier Mexican food. I was surprised that this is located in connection to a gas station, car wash, and convenience store. The Tahoe Turkey was a great sandwich! I enjoyed the hatch chile and it was not spicy at all! However, it appears that everything comes with a side of tortilla chips as the default side. While I understand it is a very cost efficient side, it felt a little off for a deli turkey, cheese and veggie sandwich.

    Sausage Breakfast Special

    This place was super cute and very gluten free friendly. At first I was hesitant because it was located next to a gas station but, as soon as you walked in, you would be impressed with the design and view of the mountains. They offered a lot of healthy options from food to juice. The staff were friendly and they had a lot of seating available inside. It's also very family friendly because they have a small kid section in the corner. Great spot for lunch! Definitely recommend!

    Great little spot if you're gonna go ahead and get gas, you can swing around to the other side and get yourself some healthy eating. They have indoor and outdoor dining a little play area for the kids and the food is healthy. Go check it out.

    Cob Salad!
    Tamami T.

    After a walk around the marsh area, we saw the sign for this place on a new (I think) complex, so we decided to give it a try. We both wanted a salad. Their cob salad is really good size, great protein portion -- really enjoyed it. The place is clean, comfortable, bright, noise level is low. The staff is friendly. Perfect breakfast/lunch place. Was not crowded around 12:30 pm on a weekday. Really enjoyed the visit!

    The inside is very clean, nice, and open. It's a great place to actually work from if you can do some things remote. I enjoy the outdoor seating as well when it is nice out but there is traffic noise. Staff have always been friendly. I like their open face bagel breakfast sandwich thing (don't remember the name). In general, food is fresh with a healthier twist. I usually get a chai tea with oat milk. It's okay, not really special, I think more their juices or smoothies would be the way to go for a more special, unique drink experience.

    First! I ate here when they first opened a few years back---LOADED NACHOS and two beers---$14; nachos were made on the spot with refried beans/beef/ cheese...yum! More recently I have breakfast there post-run (on the wetlands path just South of their location) The Breakfast sandwich is my favorite with fluffy-egg goodness; sliced tomato; turkey sausage, cheese aaaand avocado slices. Edgar the Manager is low-key and FRIENDLY! Coffee rounds out a great breaky. potatoes instead of chips would be better

    Cutest place! Plenty of seating and excellent service. Clean and decorated well…read more Tasty fresh protein drinks were wonderful. Had the caramel macchiato coffee drink and it was fabulous. I wish I lived here just to be able to get this drink more frequently.

    I've been a regular at The Protein Jungle for a long time, starting back when they were at the…read moreVictorian location and now at their newer spot in Legends, and it's one of those places that just consistently gets it right. This isn't just a "grab a drink and go" kind of place. I've met clients here, done one-on-one meetings, and spent plenty of time just sitting and working because the environment actually makes you want to stay. The vibe is welcoming, the space is clean and thoughtfully laid out, and the staff genuinely cares. You're greeted like they recognize you, not like you're just another order. The protein drinks are always solid, but my go-to every single time is the protein pods. They're filling, taste great, and don't feel heavy or overly sweet like some protein spots can be. You can tell there's intention behind what they're serving, not just trends. What really keeps me coming back is the people. From the owners to the team behind the counter, there's a strong sense of community here. It feels local, supportive, and positive, which is honestly rare. If you're looking for a place that blends health, community, and a relaxed atmosphere where you can meet, work, or recharge, The Protein Jungle is worth making part of your routine. I've followed them from one location to another for a reason.
