The store was clean and inviting. An employee, Jean, was friendly and attentive. She recognized me from a meeting we had attended years ago. It was nice that she remind me of our encounter. There is a variety of jewelry, art, gifts and decor. This is a great tourist stop. read more

See all

I've been a customer of white buffalo for almost 7 years now. I seem to get at least one piece a year at this point. I'd have to say the stand out of this place is the staff. They are knowledgeable, kind, helpful, friendly, and personable. I truly enjoy coming in here. There is jewelry available at all price points, Native American made items are clearly marked as such, and there is a good variety of styles sure to please everyone. read more

What a great Truckee Store! My son discovered it during the summer when he spotted a Zuni inlay cuff that caught his eye. The selection of fine, interesting Native American and South West jewelry was top-notch. They greeted us when we walked in and immediately showed us their amazing offerings. I appreciated her patience and knowledge in Native pieces. We look forward to stopping in again this summer. Thank you White Buffalo for your presence in Truckee read more

This is one of the cute little shops in downtown Truckee and been in California I wasn't surprised how expensive it was. We came in for a wedding and my husband needed a bolo tie as he forgot his at home. The one he got here was what I believe a fake stone and a thin leather string, not ugly but very small. They do have nice things and nice jewelry but definitely not my style. Do come in, staff was very nice, friendly and helpful. read more

Great people, The employees are all very kind. Great Hot Sauce selection, Everything else in the store is awesome. Great selection or unique gifts. read more

My husband and I visit the Truckee/Tahoe area at least once or twice a year. Because of Truckee's Western quaintness, we always make sure to go downtown to walk around the shops and have a bite to eat. One shop that is a MUST to visit is White Buffalo. I love its eclectic selection of gifts. You can always find something for anyone you may need to buy for, including yourself!! I've purchased several lovely pieces of jewelry, some of which I've had for years. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Anne K. Livermore Ca read more

Two words Federico and Susannah, Beautiful store, perfectly merchandised. But my favorite part is Susannah, she's awesome! Oh and the vast inventory of Federico jewelry. If your looking for beautiful handcrafted, statement jewelry or you just want to look like Ali Mc Graw, (millennials google her) this is the spot! I really appreciate that they are enforcing the mask mandate. They are professional about it and kind! read more

Made a quick stop at White Buffalo when we stopped in Truckee for lunch. Good shop for tourists. Lots that caught my eye -- and I found a couple of fun stocking stuffers. Will be sure to drop by next time we are in Truckee. read more

The Federico jewelry is a must-have. Kind store sales cashiers. Love the lotions and the shoes.

White Buffalo is a sweet little shop located in downtown Truckee. It's chock full of jewelry, little touches for the home and more. If I'm being honest, a lot of items did not suit my personal taste, but you can't win 'em all. The shop was clean with room to move about. The staff was extremely nice. Towards the back of the shop there is an excellent assortment of greeting cards. Perhaps my favorite part of White Buffalo was the unexpected variety of hot sauce. It's definitely with a browse! read more

My husband and I have been huge fans of this store for about 10 years. We look forward to our visits with the super welcoming owners, managers and sales folks every time we vacation in the Tahoe area. I've been a Native American jewelry collector for many years and I've added some gorgeous pieces from the Buffalo each time we visit. Can't say enough about their selection of carefully curated goods, jewelry, etc and the delightful experience of shopping with people who clearly love the special space they have created! read more

This place had so many varieties of art and jewelry. There was so much to look at! I was in awe of the gorgeous panoramic photos on the wall. They also had some awesome vintage style metal signs which I have started to really love lately. The prices ranged quite a bit, some items were very reasonably priced and some were quite a bit more expensive. My find were these awesome vintage style cards with Truckee spelled out and various vignettes in each letter. I also found a great card with a vintage skier illustrated on the front. I am always on the hunt for unique cards to mail my penpal. This place was a great find for that. I will definitely return for more! read more

If you love Native American jewelry, as I do, do not miss this place! This is the most amazing Native American jewelry store I have encountered anywhere. The service is friendly and very knowledgeable. A gorgeous , unique, and always changing selection of the very best. I own a lot of pieces and they never go out of style or fall apart. If something bends, breaks or a piece is lost, they fix it free. Francisco Jimenez's pieces are works of art, though expensive. There is also a huge selection of Tahoe's local gemstone: gold inflected white quartz from the 16 to 1 gold mine. Anything at this shop may well be the best souvenir from your trip to Truckee. There is also a great selection of hot sauces. read more

I used to go here when I lived in Truckee and I'd get homesick. Not too many other American Indians living in Truckee, don't you know. They have stuff like sage and sweetgrass, Carlos Nakai CD's, and some southwestern food products and are pretty good. Its kind of touristy and not a legit Trading Post, but they are ok. They might even be a Pendelton dealer... read more

Not bad, though very overpriced. I have a passion of Southwestern native american jewelry and they have a great selection. But I didn't buy too many big pieces here as I've seen much better prices elsewhere. Considering there aren't many other places like this in the quaint little area, I guess buying some souvenirs here isn't that bad. I do LOVE the fact that they are family owned and operated, which makes me feel better about paying a little more. read more

A unique place to get gifts and items that reflect the true beauty of Truckee. You have stop by. I love my light and other items purchased. read more

Great little tourist shop that has quite a variety of things to look at. We loved the hot sauce collection. Got some super hot sauce, some super hot chips, and some super hot peanuts. I'm excited to eat them and burn my face off. read more

This is the most wonderful shop! When my wife and I were engaged, just before we married, we visited this shop and picked out two of the most unique rings made of gold and quartz. Unfortunately, we didn't have the funds to purchase these back then. Not too long ago my wife was visiting the area again and as a surprise she purchased these same rings for our 10 year Anniversary. What a grand surprise!!! Their customer service is stellar as well. You will LOVE this shop! read more

Came in inquiring about Lake Tahoe shaped jewelry as shown in the window. I've been in-and-out of the area for several years and finally wanted a piece. I selected two pendant options and browsed the rest of the store while deciding. When I came back to the counter Caitlin was friendly and extremely helpful, assisting with the selection of a necklace chain thickness and length, and with purchase. I highly recommend her - great customer service. read more

I absolutely love this place -- I go every time I make it into Truckee!! They have beautiful Native American jewelry and crafts... a huge selection! And a really nice and helpful staff. I think it is a fantastic place to get someone a unique gift. I got some great earrings there -- silver with some turquoise, in the subtle shape of bear's paws. :) They also sell some cheesy stuff, e.g. a sack called "My sack" with golf balls in it. Hmm. It takes balls to golf. http://www.mysack.com/ read more

I found White Buffalo on line and saw a Gold Quartz ring I just had to have. Communicating with Lisa Soule, she sent me some pictures of some areas of it I couldn't see. I have to say she didn't waste any time and made sure I was happy with her pic's. She sent it right away with no delay. I really enjoy wearing this Gold Quartz ring every day and have gotten numerous comments on what a beautiful ring it is. I still check their web site occasionally to see what else catches my eye. read more

Lots of great stuff here! Tons of Native American jewelry and pottery and rugs. Great place to find a gift or souvenir from your trip.

Huge selection of turquoise jewelry to covet. Friendly and local ownership. What more can I say? If you need a piece of Southwestern jewelry, check it out. read more

I had seen gold quartz rings while on a tour in Alaska - out of my range. When home I did some internet searching for the design I liked and found White Buffalo in Truckee. They worked with me long distance on the sizing and pricing for the style I wanted - got it made in shorter time than estimated and shipped to me. Beautiful stone, beautiful setting and excellent service - special thanks to the helpful staff, I understand it's a family business. read more

This is a must stop shop. Great Native items, which I've purchased and them some. Many great things to choose form and I just gotta get me a Lucy Webb painting they have on their walls..She does some awesome painting.. So that place I'd give 6 stars if I could.. read more

This is a fantastic store located in Downtown Truckee across from the train depot. They carry a large selection of Native American jewelry and other items - all of which are completely authentic! The store is owned by a local couple who work the store most days and are always informative and give excellent customer service. A great place to go and find a present for someone as they have a huge selection of fun and unique items that are very reasonably priced. read more

Totally satisfied. E-mailed W / B on Tuesday with a question, received an answer early on Wednesday. Phoned the store and spoke w / Jean....could not have been more helpful and I placed an order. Special order was produced / shipped / received just as she said it would be. And the end product is even more beautiful that the online pictures. It is going to make a wonderful Christmas present. Not even a hint of one negative thing to say about this operation. Would recommend it to anyone looking for something unique ( the gold quartz pieces ) or any several different styles native american jewelry & more. One of the few places you can still get A-One customer service !!! read more

would never buy from them again after they made the statement that they don't deal/work with natives americans. so they want to make money by selling "american american items" but they don't want to buy from natives. never again will they get any of my monies. read more
