    Mimi L.

    Was visiting Tahoe for the weekend and took a nice morning walk to this coffee shop. The customer service was exceptional! She went out of her way to tell us about the different roasts being offered, along with her recommendations. Got one of the house drip coffees and a vanilla latte and really enjoyed both! They also had a good breakfast menu, but we had plans for breakfast elsewhere so this review is solely for the coffee. I recommend to buy a cup and take a walk along the lake that's just right there!

    The vibe is amazing !

    Absolutely LOVED this coffee shop! The vibes here are everything -- cozy, welcoming, and such a beautiful Tahoe atmosphere. The coffee was amazing, but honestly, the whole experience made it even better. The staff was so friendly and the atmosphere was perfect for slowing down, enjoying your coffee, and taking in the Tahoe vibes. You can tell they really care about creating a great experience for their customers. Definitely a must-stop if you're in Tahoe! I'll 100% be coming back.

    The best coffee shop we got in Tahoe -- great coffee, delicious affogato, and delicious+healthy snacks (my fav is the ube waffle). Great service and chill vibes. This is now my go-to cafe when friends are in town. :)

    Jefe waffle

    A really cute cafe with board games, lots of seating, and really good light. My group came right before closing so we didn't get to hang around too long. I ordered the Tropical matcha and, unfortunately, it was probably the worst matcha drink I've had. Very strong guava flavor, but I'd guess there was less than 1 gram of matcha in the drink. A drink this size should probably have closer to 3-4 grams for there to actually be any matcha flavor. It tasted just like guava milk and was pretty disappointing for both me and my sister (who also ordered this drink). The waffle was decent but not amazing. The real star on it was the cheese. Of the five in our group, the best drink ordered was the kids cacao drink, pretty much a kids size hot chocolate loaded with whipped cream. Also felt that the vibes in here were off and felt a little hostile. Nobody greeted us when we came in and if they had, maybe we would have known they were closing soon and wouldn't have wasted ten minutes perusing the menus. We had originally thought this place was closed an hour earlier, but when we came by the doors were wide open with customers inside. The barista looked very unhappy and annoyed when he made and served our drinks. We all really regretted coming here, and definitely wouldn't come by on another trip.

    Really cute coffee shop in south lake. They have a ton of drink options to choose from. Even a couple of pastries. And gluten free options. The espresso is really strong, coffee is good and loved the many different types of matcha and latte flavors. Wish they were open throughout the day longer. Service was also quick and friendly. Good spot for coffee right off the hwy!

    Great coffee starts here in Tahoe. Menu is expansive to include unique coffee beverages, matchas, teas, and lots of great food options that looked delicious. We enjoyed the coffees and matchas during our two visits. Super coffeehouse vibes as soon as you walk in with plenty of indoor and outdoor sitting. This all said, there were a few downsides we experienced. First, the prices are on the higher end. I get it's Lake Tahoe, but being located in South Lake Tahoe, it felt a little high. Second, it felt a bit snobby and elitist. Not entirely, but subtle undertones of snobbery maybe because they have won so many awards. For example, I accidentally forgot to ask for oat milk versus whole milk and so when I asked to switch it in the most apologetic and kindest tone, the non verbal and verbal response from the barista seemed like a big deal to switch it even if the drink wasn't made yet. Felt like he did me "such a favor". Look, could have just been the week we visited, but it didn't feel friendly to us. I'd be happy to give it another chance on our next visit up and finalize this review then. Until then, kindness is free, let's pass it on.

    ube superfood waffle (vegan!)
    Grace X.

    The ube superfood waffle from here is HEAVENLY. The ube waffle is perfectly lightly crisped on the outside and moist on the inside. It also tasted absolutely delicious with a strong but not overwhelming ube flavor and the combination of toppings works really well. Literally the best meal I've had in recent memory and I will probably be thinking about it for several months to come. The ube waffle itself is vegan, and so are all the toppings except for honey but they can swap it out for maple syrup. The regular waffles however are not vegan I believe. The menu is clearly labelled for vegan/vegetarian/gluten free. The place is pretty busy, I came around 8:30am and was able to easily get a table but around 9am it started getting very crowded and many people were standing around waiting. There is one bathroom in the back. The inside is cute and they have some board games available. Staff were all very friendly.

    Mini acai bowl with banana, blueberries, cocoa and toasted coconut.

    A great place for a quick pop in treat. I love the mini acai bowl. The coffee selection is abundant.

    A charming little coffee shop with very unique offerings and the quality to match. Going in, you are first greeted by three menus: seasonal drinks, regular drinks, and food. On your way to the counter, you see the variety of loose leaf teas, coffee bags, and pastries all on display to tempt you from your initial choice. I ended up ordering the Golden Hour Cold Brew (cold brew with honey and orange cream on top) and the Chorizo Empanada (it even had chorizo stamped onto the shell). They were excellent, but couldn't go wrong with anything thing there from: ube waffles, empanadas, toasts, and more. The staff were very friendly, will definitely return when I am back to S Lake Tahoe for the waffles.

    Affogato and cortado
    Alex S.

    Delicious and delightful! We went to Three Pines cafe twice during our overnight trip to Tahoe. Gorgeous cafe with a very relaxing and welcoming vibe. I loved the plant life and moss wall decor! Then, of course, there's the food and coffee. Everything we tried was delicious. The first visit we ordered an affogato and a cortado. The affogato was such a nice treat, and my husband enjoyed his affogato. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and our orders came out in a timely manner. We went back for breakfast before we left Tahoe the next day, and their breakfast menu was really unique and tasty! They offered some different granola bowl options, empanadas with different fillings, and gluten free waffles! I would definitely recommend trying this place if you're in the area. If I lived closer I could certainly see becoming a regular!

    orange honey cardamom latte, turkish delight latte
    Sarah C.

    super cute cafe in tahoe, with a variety of drinks and food. they have lots of unique flavor combinations as well. our cashier was really friendly! we got the orange honey cardamom latte ($7.50) and the turkish delight latte ($7.75). the base espresso was pretty good! I thought the flavors were good too and not insanely sweet

Currently they have send me a double order and are prepared today to sent me yet another order. They do not answer their emails or their phone. No idea what is going on but endless supplies of 5 pound bags of coffee every few weeks is not what I want. I will cancel my subscription, membership and never order again. (I'd burn their shirt as well but it's a pretty nice t-shirt). My advice is to never order anything from them. Perhaps they will get customer service straightened out but as of the last two months it is a nightmare. New- I sent 19 emails with the exact same information-a notice showing a new shipment of coffee mirroring the order I received two weeks ago and asking them to cancel- and this Yelp review. They contacted me via email assuring me the order was cancelled, when my next delivery was due, and thanking me for my years of service. My guess is a negative Yelp review impacts them. I like their coffee. I like the fact some of the money goes to eye cancer research. But beware, you are on your own to handle subscriptions and shipments. And because they answered my emails after multiple weeks of wrestling with this I doubled their star review- from one to a two.,,,,,,,,, For reasons known only to me I am changing my review from 2 star to 5 star.

We looked the roastery up and drove over. Tim was such a nice and welcoming guy, and really takes pride in what he does. We bought a bunch of bags and filled up our carry-on and flew home with it. Fast forward to 2 years later, we hare happy Coffee of the Month subscribers and look forward to getting Tim's coffee in the mail. We've gifted the subscription to our friends and family too, and everyone loves it. Perfect for the coffee lover in your life.

It would not be out of place in a three-Michelin-star dining room. He roasts every batch himself over a wood fire, feeding a beautiful old roaster with logs he chops by hand. His espresso blends are composed with a level of precision that feels almost synesthetic. Ask him what he is aiming for and he will describe the roast in shapes: how wide the base should be, whether it tapers or flares, how many sides the finished polygon has. I have stood there listening, fascinated, with no real idea what he is talking about, then tasted the cup and understood anyway. Important to know: this is not a coffee shop. There is no barista counter. It is a modest storefront and warehouse, and if you stop by you will likely see Tim at the roaster, stoking the fire. The aroma is arresting from the street. That wood fire imparts a signature note that sets his coffee apart. It does not turn smoky in the jerky sense. It reads as a gentle campfire thread running through the cup, adding warmth and dimension without heaviness. Since moving away from Reno I miss these beans enough that I cave and pay the shipping. If you order Priority Mail, the bags arrive right in the early sweet spot of their drinkability window, perfect for dialing in extraction. If you know your way around a grinder and an espresso machine, get these beans. Tim Curry is an amazing craftsman making world-class coffee, one hand-roasted batch at a time.
