Stopped by for a cappuccino during my run while on vacation. Excellent, one of the best prepared I've ever had.

Beautiful quaint cafe right across the lake. Amazing Gelato and great customer service. Such a beautiful story of how the owner started this business! I stayed in Tahoe for my honeymoon 6 days and went there 4 times. They freshly make their Gelato everyday with different and new flavors each day. Vegan options available! read more

This place needs to work on customer service skills of the staff. Also hours posted are only loosely followed. We want to give our business locally, but it's hard to be motivated to do so when the service is so bad. read more

We visited almost every day to enjoy their delicious lemon gelato during our recent visit to Tahoe. One of the highlights of our trip.

One of the worst customer experiences of my life. When I asked if she knew how to make a double espresso her reply was "It's a coffee shop, isn't it??" My child asked to sample a flavor of gelato and she snapped "You already tried that one." My child hadn't and I was proud of her snapping back "Actually I tried the other one." When the children pointed to the case asking what flavor that was she said "I can't see where you are pointing. What do you mean 'that' one." And then finally a new customer came in and expressed "Wow, you guys are busy - that's great" and she replied "Only when I'm trying to close." I'd like to chuck this up to her just having a bad day. But we went back over the two days we were there and were treated rudely each time. I would definitely take my coffee addiction elsewhere to someone who appreciates my business. read more

I don't get the positive reviews. I tasted two of the flavors & both tasted like an old freezer. When I said that to the server, she tasted & didn't agree. So I opted for the vanilla because it appeared to have just one serving taken out. I said to the server that I was going to have the vanilla because it must be the freshest (assuming there'd be no freezer taste). It tasted like it anyway though much less. My husband then ordered. I was seated outside & I heard her say "We make this every day" Wha-what? There was NO freakin' way that each one of those flavors was made on that Sunday morning and served to half full by the 12noon hour that we were there, and the only ones around. Why lie? The other deal breaker for me is that they use plastic cups. I came back in with mine and asked where I could recycle it and she told me to just throw it away! Way to "Keep Tahoe Blue". read more

Fun and quaint little spot to stop on our bike ride to Sugar Pines. We all got gelato and it was good. I got an iced moccacino and it was good. Service was good. We enjoyed the outdoor seating. Would have given 4 stars if the kiddos could have used the restroom. read more

I am so torn about this place. I have been coming here every summer since it opened. We come up with another family who has a house in Tahoma. Eight of us get their gelato EVERY day. Flavors are great. Favorites: grapefruit, lime, coconut, salted caramel, sweet cream. If the owner weren't so rude, I would give this place 5 stars. I've seen her act friendly and engaged...toward her friends. Otherwise, she doesn't crack a smile and she is RUDE if you ask a question. It feels like she hates visitors. I don't understand why she chose a customer service business. I really hope she reads her yelp reviews because her bad attitude is mentioned repeatedly. Clean up your act. You're not all that. read more

Best place on the West Shore! Great espresso and gelato--made with love and done the real Italian way. Plus, they've got oat milk!!

Where We Met is your perfect coffee spot when staying on the west side of the lake. Whenever I am visiting, which is 2-3 times a year, I always make this spot my morning coffee place. I usually order an Americana or a vanilla latte and they never disappoint. The couple that owns it has a cute story on how the shop got its name and not to mention an extremely adorable dog, Polpetta. Please, if your staying near or just passing by, do yourself a favor and stop bye. *note the reason why it didn't get 5 stars is because there have been few times when I come up to visit and the shop isn't open. They are a little inconsistent with hours. read more

Best ice cream/gelato around, the salted caramel, biscotto, banana- all the flavors really- are to die for. The gelato is made fresh daily and the shop rotates the flavours so it's always a nice surprise to see which flavours you get to choose from on any given day! Thanks for the gelato! read more

We love this place and come nearly every day when staying in Tahoma. Staff have always been very nice and excellent gelato. How many flavors do you need? There are usually 8 and good variety. Coconut is my fav and green apple also but they don't have it often. read more

My husband and I are camping on the West Side and we walked two miles to have a nice cup of coffee and a latte. The whole experience with walking on the new bike trail, viewing the lake through the trees, enjoying coffee that was so delicious made for a wonderful morning. We loved the experience so much we walked there a second time. The young girl serving us was friendly and very hospitable. We'll return next year. read more

This place looked really cute and was right by the house we were staying in. Wished it was better but the reality is that it was just ok. By no means am I a mocha expert, but I've had plenty of really great mochas at other spots I can only give this place 3 stars. Also wished there was more outdoor seating to relax AND social distance, but in these times of COVID, it's pretty much now just a grab and go place, which is too bad b/c I like to sit, relax, and read the news with my drink. Not a terrible place, just that there's better out there. read more

Stopped by this place twice on our trip to Tahoe and was not worth the effort. First time a young blonde lady made our coffee and it actually had some flavor. She was friendly and helping. There was a older woman who seemed like she owned the place or ran that was not very welcoming nor said one word to us while we asked about what they idea. 2nd time we stopped by the uninviting woman with hairy legs made our coffee and completely F'd it up and didn't even greet us or say one word while we ordered. Coffee was disgusting and I wanted to go back and complain but my wife thought it wasn't a good idea and that we would just add flavorings when we got back to cabin. Only gave a 2nd star cause of the 1st young lady was friendly and very helpful. Hairy legged woman needs to learn to make coffee and be a little more friendly. Don't waste your time with this place. read more

Don't listen to all the Karens giving bad reviews of this place! It's totally awesome - friendly staff, fresh gelato and great coffee :)

Super cute little coffee shop worth your stop on a drive around the lake. Little outdoor seated area and super convenient window for walk up orders. The mocha is delicious! I initially wanted the chai tea but she was out at the time but quickly offered to make me a slight variation of a chai tea. which I appreciated. Instead of just saying she was out, she offered an alternative. She was super nice and I wish we lived near by to make more regular visits. read more

We've been dropping in over the past 7 years on this great little gem of a coffee/gelato place. Definitely get the gelato! read more

Where We Met - Great gelato and coffee in West shore Lake Tahoe! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tahoma, California

This is the most amazing place. Great coffee!! Amazing people. The owner is an adorable soul and the crew is great and you can sit outside and enjoy the surroundings in s home town setting. I'm coming back definitely. read more

Shows open on Yelp and sign says open but it was/is closed. Bummer since we had a long walk there. The guy at the small store next door was nice and had decent breakfast tacos and biscuits and plain coffee. read more

An amazing coffee & gelato shop! With all the challenges of covid-19, they have managed to be such a safe and clean environment. Everyone is always wearing masks and the employees work so hard! Really really appreciate all they do for the community. (And the have the best gelato ever!) read more

This is a great place to get a coffee in the morning and then come back later in the day for a gelato. The staff is always very friendly, the coffee is hot and the gelato is cold. I really enjoy this place. read more

The red head is so kind, didn't feel pressured to tip her unlike the mean one, she is bright like the grapefruit I had

This place is so amazing!! The coffee and gelato are great you can tell the effort that goes into it all! The staff are super nice and always make the experience very enjoyable. Ten out of ten recommend. read more

We had a VERY unpleasant experience! The date was between June 10-13. According to the other reviews, it sounds like the owners and their offerings are exceptional. We will never find out for ourselves. The young woman behind the counter was not the owner. Here's what happened: my 2 well-behaved kids, age 7 & 10, & I went in the empty shop in the afternoon. The menu board listed 4 sizes and the prices for each. The smallest size, "Bambino," said next to it "for kids 0-12." I asked for two Bambino's. the server said "You cant get that size." I said, "I don't understand, my kids are between 0 - 12 years old." She then said "The Bambino's are only for local kids." I said I'd never heard of anything like that before. She asked, "Do you live here?" I told her no - but we own our home here in Tahoma. She said, "I'm sorry but the Bambino is only supposed to be for the local kids who live here." I said, "I don't get it, it's listed right up there on the menu board." She said, "I'm sorry but my boss said that's only for the local kids." I just said, "I don't think that's good for business, to turn people away like that." Then I had to tell my kids we weren't going to get any gelato. They were sad but they heard the conversation. They felt particularly unwelcome here. Seriously, as I walked out, I glanced around expecting to see "Candid Camera" or something! I couldn't believe it was real. Either that employee is very bad for business, OR, the owners have a warped disdain for would-be paying customers who are homeowners but don't actually RESIDE in Tahoma. read more

The gelato and espresso are delicious! The service is personal and authentic! It is a great way to spend part of your vacation in a quaint mountain town. If you're lucky, you will hear a special Italian song from a special person. Did I mention, you might learn to speak a little Italiano? Come, experience a taste of Italy! read more

Will not go back! Good gelato but the owner is NOT friendly and often downright unpleasant and rude. We have a second home nearby and always try to support local business on the West Shore. We have been coming here and bringing friends since it opened and have stupidly returned despite being repeatedly treated like an unwelcome intrusion. Today was the last straw. I really don't understand why this young woman opened this place. She does not enjoy people at all. She never smiles or thanks customers - only people she knows. The rest of us she apparently doesn't need. I echo the other reviewer - please patronize local businesses who appreciate and value your support. read more

Very good gelato, no matter what P Cholla B. said in her July review. I lived in Italy for a year and this house made gelato comes pretty darn close to what I ate almost daily in Italy. Gelato was the only thing I bought at Where We Met (Coconut and Choc. Chili flavors - THE BOMB!), so that is all I can speak about, but I will be back the next time I'm on the west shore of the lake. The only other good, really good, gelato is in Reno, so I'm very happy to have some good gelato closer to home. read more

During our recent stay at a cabin in Tahoma we stopped by Where We Met during a walk to the beach after scoping it out for a few days. Finally we had our chance on a warm sunny day and the gelato was a perfect compliment to the sunny skies. They offered about a half dozen flavors when we stopped by. All were very fresh tasting, with sharp high notes and lush richness. I highly recommend the Biscotto. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to try the espresso, which I knew I'd regret later, but now I have something to look forward to next season. This is a perfect little hole in the wall with comfortable decor, chairs out front to relax on, and friendly service. Dare I say... a perfect place to meet? read more

Very nice girl working there. She recommended the gelato, it was delicious. Small location but great service and refreshments. read more

Adorable spot, but TERRIBLE staff. Our ice cream server had incredibly rude responses to our group's 2 simple questions. I couldn't even buy a cone because I was so shocked. Going to get a popsicle across the street... read more

Great little coffee shop with gelato too! Everyone is super sweet that works here and God knows we needed a coffee shop in Tahoma! I am grateful to this place and wish them many more years of success! read more

Very quaint little Gelato and Coffee place right in the middle of Tahoma. Be it for a short but sweet refreshing break or to treat yourself to some dessert after a sumptuous meal in the neighboring Pizza joint, this place is a fabulous choice. Their freshly brewed coffee is great and Chai Tea Latte is also exquisite. The choices in flavors for the ice cream, though not anything extravagant, is good enough to pack in a little something that everyone can like. read more

Great addition to the west shore ~ comfy, cozy & coffee. Great for Tahoma locals as well as visitors and free WiFi!

Summer in Tahoe doesn't start until we hit Where we met for Gelato. Great, fresh flavors and friendly staff. It's really cute and easy to walk down to the lake from there. read more

What a cute place! I ordered the nutella latte. It was delicious!!! No indoor seating though. Really small spot.

Great coffee place. The coffee has a great flavor, service is terrific. The shop is community oriented. Also environmentally focused. Perfect spot to stop in before a morning hike or ride. read more

Amazing little coffee spot gem in Tahoma! Right next to Westshore pizza. The owner is so sweet and makes an amazing Nutella Latte! A must stop!!! :) read more

Best coffee I had in a while, and friendly service. Good for a quick pit stop in the morning

Yummy fresh strawberry sorbetto and even better service by Forrest. He was sweet and patient with our three kids and let us try lots of flavors. Great tiny local shop. read more
