Only the freshest and most delicious ingredients to layer a sandwich! We got the turkey on a fresh roll and the classic Ruben! Maybe it was the best sandwich spot in Tahoe Donner... Maybe it' was the fact that we had been snowed in our cabin where we got 100inches of snow in under 100 hours... either way, give this little shop a try next time you're in the area! read more

This place is great. Amazing selection, friendly staff/owner, ready to eat items and deli. It absolutely beats driving into town and has an incredible selection. I envision nordic skiing here for essential provisions like Japanese whiskey and wagyu burger meat. read more

My friends and I needed to pick up a couple extra things that our air bnb was running low on and saw that Z marketplace was pretty close by. We were impressed by the selection inside covering all the necessities from bathroom supplies to quick deli options and plenty of snacks. Prices were also very fair. We also saw that they had a deli for sandwiches and made pizzas to order so we had to try one, right? The pepperoni pizza was definitely a great choice. The crust was crisp and had a nice chew. Cheese was ooey gooey and they were generous with the pepperoni. It definitely hit the spot after our short hike to get there. Staff was also incredibly friendly and there is a parking lot so that's convenient if you have a car. All in all, it was a great little find! read more

Review of sandwiches alone. People taking the order were nice. Tons of quick bites in the store. Cant say the sandwiches tasted like much, and the bread was bad! Both breads were stale. Could barely finish just the meat and cheese. Good thing is that they have parking read more

Quick and easy sandwiches. Great little market with an array of groceries. Convenient to Tahoe dinner homeowners.

Have shopped here many times during our visits to Tahoe Donner. They're always very helpful. Great selection of whatever you forgot to bring up the hill, or ice cream :) Prices are a little steep - you pay for the convenience of them taking all of this up the mountain. They're pretty busy at lunch and the deli gets a lot of business. read more

A staple of my families trips to Tahoe. They carry a good variety of items and have a sandwich spot inside which has some great food. The meatball sub I got was top notch. And the service is always great. read more

I drive by this place every day and decided to stop in and see what they had. They have a really nice deli counter that has sandwiches, soups, chili and beans, and even fresh drip coffee. A deli case with desserts I met Kim, Gigi and Jayme, all very nice and helpful. The place was Poppin. Nonstop customers and watching the workers just handle everybody's request, get them their needs and still be able to reply with a smile. There was a 3rd person making the food orders that I didn't get a chance to talk to as she was busy fixing all the foods (pretty sure she was the manager) So much packed in this little shop. A tiny condiment counter to fix your fresh drip coffee. Menu has some awesome looking sandwiches, pizza and stuff. What I ordered: Fresh brewed coffee Chili beans Coffee was great, Chili-beans a little on the pricey sidestill taste great. read more

A convenient little grocery shop if you're staying in Tahoe Donner. Prices weren't insane if you're used to grocery shopping in the Bay. Yes, some items would have been cheaper at Safeway, but I picked up some delicious fresh salsa for $4, that's what ya'd pay in Berkeley. They have anything you'd need for a week of vacation: beer, wine, cheese, spaghetti, frozen foods, limited veggies, meats and so on. People really go for their sandwiches. Although they offer a few other remade items, I went for the Italian style sandwich they offer on their menu. They also have the customize your own if that's more your thing. Great meat to bread ratio. Great meats, and the bread was solid, although it was a soft style roll and I like mine more hard and crisp. Lettuce, onions and tomato are all free add ons, so a great way to get some extra veggies. I believe the Sammy was about $8. Not huge, but definitely more than enough for 1. Protip: pay when you get your sandwich vs the option to pay when it's ready. I chose the later and had to then wait in line twice. read more

Great location, Good, large wine selection at reasonable prices, All the essentials (Tapatio, hand lotion, hard kombucha), Sandwiches that I'm very curious to try (so can't accurately review yet), And nice service! read more

Great local convenience store with staples and "up-scale" options. Lunch deli and hand scooped ice cream in the afternoons. Extensive beer, wine, and spirit selection. read more

This place is worth the drive from the freeway. We came in on September 29 hoping to get a few items for our camping trip and a few sandwiches. They had a nice selection of liquor/beers and the sandwiches they made were delicious. They gave us a box to carry our stuff and we ate at the picnic tables while our pup did her business. Nice low key spot and clean restrooms. read more

The most convenient option for a quick sandwich or bottle of wine if you're in Tahoe Donner - and, fortunately, very very good. The staff is always super friendly, it's easy to park, solid wine and beer selection, and the sandwiches are always freshly made and well prepared. They have most items you'd find in a convenient store as well, which can save you a drive down the hill in a pinch. I feel very fortunate to have this establishment located so conveniently in Tahoe Donner! read more

Great service and location. Good supply of everything you would need in Tahoe Donner. It's much more than a convenience store!

Per usual around Truckee, the prices are high. This however is a great neighborhood place to get a Sammie or a pizza if you don't want to drive down Northwoods and your nearby Z. The staff is cool and laidback. Busy at lunchtime. read more

I was in town for the Broken Arrow Skyrace at Palisades and staying at an Air BNB in Truckee. I have very specific things that I want to eat prior to and after running 46k. The Z marketplace was great. I had the BEST made to order sandwich on Saturday, and great service. Their local bread, desserts, and wine was excellent. read more

Z is a lovely little marketplace. Friendly staff, delicious sandwiches, and everything there is well stocked. Whenever I plan to be at Tahoe Donner, I'll be making sure to stop by Z! read more

Great grocery resource in a pinch up in Tahoe Donner. You'll pay a big extra, but on a crowded weekend you can count on Z Mkt to keep your sanity by letting you stay away from Safeway in Truckee. They make tasty sandwiches and bagels and coffees, and their prices on those things are reasonable if not good values. Knowing their TD clientele, they stock some pretty good wines, top shelf liquor and all kinds of chips & crackers. You're not gonna get fixin's for a salad at Z Mkt, because their fruit and veg situation is highly truncated. Eggs, dairy, frozen pizza....think 7-11 upscale with a healthy bent. Friendly people. read more

Cool little neighborhood store in Tahoe Donner. They have great selection of beer, hard kombucha, and snacks. They also have pretty much anything you need for a quick dinner or breakfast. Friendly staff and generally felt covid safe. read more

If you're in Tahoe Donner, this is quaint convenience store for essentials or a quick lunch. They have a counter for ordering sandwiches, and you can pick up dessert and some sides while your sandwich is being made. read more

Z Marketplace - a table with a bottle of beer and a sandwich - Grocery Near Me - Truckee, California

Great selection for a convenience store. Was able to get everything I needed to make chili!

What a great market and more!!! Been going here for over 12 years... they always have a smile, just the goods we need to feed hungry families and the home made foods, like the roasted half chicken, is just amazing. For those of you leveling BS 1-star reviews because an overworked local stopped by and forgot their mask after a 13-hour day, GFY. This isn't your neighborhood store, Whole Foods is. Stay home if you're going to be an entitled SJW. This is an exceptional establishment, and has saved us, and many others, a long trip off an icy hill countless times. Keep up the great work Z! read more

I stopped in to the store today. Despite the sign on the door stating that it's a state law that masks must be worn, only 3 out of 8 customers had masks on. Not only did the employees not ask customers to put on masks, one employee made a show of going out to the parking lot to take a "hit" with a friend. Seriously? No way would I buy food here. read more

I can't believe I haven't made a post for z market. I tend to do this often unfortunately though, go to a place frequently and forget to make a review. So the z market is a nice place up in Tahoe Donner. Has some great options for food as well as any snacks or whatever. You know just your regular market. However which shines through is the deli. I can't tell you how helpful it has been in the past to be able to go to the market and get a gluten-free whatever sandwich. They're really good about having gluten free bread on hand. I will be honest it's been a couple months since I've been there but I doubt things have changed. It is a bit pricier because they are up the hill, but you're going to find some stuff that you might not find anywhere else. I husband actually loves it when they have the chicken or egg salads available. Worth stopping in just remember it's going to be a bit pricey compared to the grocery store. read more

Very friendly and always very clean. Their menu is solid and so many things to choose from. Tuna melt slays so does their breakfast sandwich on nann read more

We stopped at Z Marketplace on our way to Idaho from the Bay Area. They have fresh, ready-made sandwiches that they will warm and panini grill. They were fabulous. My husband had the bacon breakfast sandwich and I had the turkey sausage. Quality ingredients and very filling. We also had an oatmeal cookie that was great. They are located about 3 miles off the main road in Truckee. Worth the stop! read more

Ordered a turkey sandwich on wheat, which was soggy, overloaded with mustard, and puny with one piece of turkey. Waited 30 minutes for it and paid nearly $14 since I added sprouts, which costs $1.75 extra!! A soggy mustard sandwich for $14 will ruin your day!! Teenagers working there hated life, and they can't make a good sandwich. It's too bad, this place used to be good. I haven't been here in a couple years and I'll never go back. Truckee has been ruined. read more

Very nice service, excellent gourmet type products. Limited selection, especially of produce and prepared foods. They did appear to have a sandwich station. Sadly, there was no BBQ (and no rotisserie chickens) available the day we went (which was the main thing we came for.) read more

We love Z Market! They always have very fresh and tasty options. Perfect for a blizzard day when we can't leave town. The desserts were fabulous! Our only complaint is that they closed the deli while we were in line. But, we still got a great meal. Thanks! read more

Their sandwiches were great and they even had gluten free options that were delicious, this is a great place to grab a quick bite on the way to golf or snacks for the road. read more

Not sure what some of these other reviewers were expecting. (If you want a $2 sandwich, buy some lunch meat and make it for yourself at home...) This place is great and super conveniently located, if you're staying in Tahoe Donner. The prices are (as to be expected) higher than Safeway but if you need an aspirin, a sixpack of imported beer, a bottle of wine, a fresh sandwich or an espresso, this is the place to go. Haven't tried the BBQ but it smells legit... read more

Thank you Z Market! Nice people, great selection of quality items in a small space. We were so grateful to be able to buy the things we needed for the first couple of days, and that included some unexpected luxuries like great macarons. Thank you again, and we wish you well-deserved success in your business. read more

Everyone is wearing a mask, despite the previous reviews. I think the bigger problem is the patrons who come in without masks. It is NOT the responsibility of working young adults to remind patrons who walk by the LARGE MASK REQUIRED sign to put on a mask. I have been here a month now and have seen various levels of compliance. Donner Lake Visitors are awful. Hiking Mt Judah, 80%. Personal responsibility people. Stop blaming the people working the counter read more

Taking over the old Will's market, it's essentially the same experience. Convenient access to food and drink when you don't want to drag yourself down the hill. I sequestered myself in the woods for a good 40 hours or so without human contact, waiting for the storm. it's good to know that when I do this and run out of supplies I can trod, even through a blizzard. to stock up as needed. read more

My happy place. The sandwiches are as outstanding as the people who work here. Always a friendly stop, high quality provisions and a great selection of beer and wine! All you need for a time well spent exploring the area or to grab some goodies to stock your kitchen! read more

Z Marketplace - The pastrami is off the chain! - Grocery Near Me - Truckee, California

Love this place so much! It's right by the condo and has all of the essentials. The breakfast sandwiches are amazing and so is their coffee.

First off, the three stars is for review of the sandwiches only. The good: The people in the store were lovely, very friendly. They have a wide selection of pre-packaged things, tons of wine, beer, and snack food. The outdoor BBQ smelled good but we wanted sandwiches because we planned to eat later at the beach. Now for the bad. We ordered deli sandwiches. They literally had no taste. At first I thought maybe it was just me but daugher and hub had the same reaction. It was downright weird. No taste. We spent $40 on three sandwiches, a bag of chips and giant waters. Daughter and I threw away half our sandwiches. So, if you need a little general store this seems like a great place. But I do not recommend the sandwiches. At all. read more

Very convenient if you are staying in Tahoe dinner. Good selection and the price is reasonable for the location.

So I go here to get a sandwich for lunch nobody's there so I want to order and some people walk up to the cash register behind me so Jack decides to help the customers as I stand there. now there's a few people in line the next set of people come up and looks at me and say why don't you just help the people in line and I will order when they're done, and he says in an extremely rude and snotty tone of voice well if you don't order we can't start the sandwich! So I order my sandwich then he proceeds to help the rest the people in line as I wait he helped everybody in line and didn't start my sandwich ? So why be rude and tell me to order ahead of time if you're not gonna do anything with the sandwich anyway until after you helped all the people??? I told you you should've helped in them in the first place? So Jack DRAGS his way through making the sandwich not sure if he's listening to music or what he's doing but certainly not focused on the task at hand! Not sure how you can forget the condiments but I got a sandwich that had no mayo as I requested it was completely dry! I felt as if I was an inconvenience to Jack! in the fact that he had to stop doing nothing to make a sandwich clearly customer should not be treated in such rude fashion by an employee! Jack! if you hate your job that much maybe you should go work somewhere else I did not go to Z Marketplace to be treated like shit by you ! read more

What a lovely little market! I was so pleasantly surprised by the fabulous selection of organic juices, sodas and local wine! They also have many house made products like olives and sauces! Next time I stop by I'll make sure to try their deli sandwiches and a coffee from their coffee bar. My only reason for 4 stars was that the woman working the register was seriously rude and snotty. Barely even spoke to me and when I asked her how she was she ignored me. Awkward... read more
