10 Best Cafes near Olympic Valley

“Great place but really annoying they don't take cash. Every time I see their obnoxious signs, I consider ripping the signs down in protest. Every credit card transaction costs a % of revenue as I'm sure you well know. You could encourage cash and save a lot of money.“

“Imagine if your absolute favorite farmers market food truck posted up at the base of your favorite ski mtn...I legitimately think their kasha bowl is the best on-mountain food I've ever had.Excited to support y'all during the winter - my only suggestion is better signage so that folks know you're here!“

“Great coffee in a very convenient location, however the avocado toast is not very good. It is guacamole spread on whole grain toast. Additionally, it seems like a large majority of people come here for online meetings between runs, but the music is often really loud and distracting which makes it difficult to take calls.“

“Great New York style pizza and ice cream! Friendly staff and great pie!“

“Good coffee! Freshly roasted.“

“Best affordable option in Truckee!“

“We love Bluefish! They have the BEST poke bowls in town!“

“The food was delicious! The coffee was amazing. And the service was excellent!!“

“Love this place! Always great food & service!!“

“I don't normally write reviews, but I had to this time. The Truckee food scene is modest at best. Most restaurants range from bad to mediocre, with a few notable exceptions, such as The Drunken Monkey and Moody's. Last year I would have included the Dining Room at Village Lodge in the "perfectly fine" category.But my wife and I went to dinner there last night (Jan 2024), and it was immediately clear that something had changed. The service was attentive and the menu was inspired. Andrew did a great job as our waiter. Before even ordering, I said to my wife that they must have a new chef, and indeed they do! It's made all the difference.I ordered the duck, my wife had the halibut, and we shared the steak tartare. It was all delicious. We paired it with a French Sancerre for an impeccable meal. Truly fine dining at a reasonable (by Tahoe standards) price.I should note that we were skiing earlier that day, and prior to dinner had a wonderful time getting to know some of the staff at the bar. We spent the night upstairs at the lodge (cute room), and the next morning had an equally good breakfast and equally good service from Bella. Also, they've put in a coffee bar right by the fireplace between the bar and the dining area. It's a nice place to warm up after a few runs.Highly recommended and worth the short drive up from Truckee.“
