“Egg-cellent Brews, Friendly Humans, and Peak Tahoe Vibes

If you're looking for a spot in Lake Tahoe that hits the trifecta of great caffeine, elite breakfast, and top-tier cozy, Java Hut is absolute perfection.
First off, let’s talk about the egg sandwich—it was genuinely egg-cellent. (Pun fully intended, zero regrets.) Pair that with a phenomenal cup of coffee and a vibe so relaxed it practically lowers your resting heart rate the second you walk through the door, and you've found breakfast nirvana.
It’s also an ideal haven to pop open a laptop and pretend you're being immensely productive while mostly just admiring the decor. To top it all off, the staff is ridiculously charming and welcoming, making it nearly impossible to leave without a smile.
Five stars all day. Java Hut officially has a customer for life!“

“A little bit confused about the menu. I ordered the Lox & Bagel meal under Sandwiches section. It should be come with fries or salad. But the server said it doesn't have this option. That meal shouldn't be in the Sandwiches section. I felt upset about it.“

“let me tell you something. I grew up in Sun Valley. Tahoe is part of me. My sister called the night before. They didnt take reservations. But, we told them what was up. my sisters n I planned a weeks trip for my mother's 78th birthday. We hadn't all been all together since my littlest sister was 4... 36 yrs later we are all in one place. Our mother wanted to see her friends. Basically our second set of parents growing up. We pretty much pretended we were nonchalant about it. Their daughter n us put a scheme together to surprise them all. Weeks of planning. The night staff left a note for the morning staff. They open at noon. The party of three showed up at noon... us, the party of six showed up 10 minutes fashionably late. So we could surprise n give our elderly parents arrhythmia.The staff was awesome! Table ready, James our waiter was spectacular...the food.... awesome. Not many restaurants would be asking as people came in... are you the party of 9? lol my sister from another set of parents...as her mom confused said " no we are a party of 3" and her daughter leaned back and whispered ..." yes we are the party of 9. but they don't know shhhh!" it was spectacular! Thank you to the staff... you all rock! I hope if we ever make it back and you're still are rocking the vibe we got today, we will be there. You all take care of your staff. Today this place made our moment so special. We cant say Thank you enough.“

“Best food we’ve eaten in Tahoe area. It’s a lil cafe inside a lil grocery store. We stopped in for lunch on a bike ride. The Thai udon soup and chocolate chip cookies are my favs so far. The salads in the fridge and homemade bread look amazing. Really sweet, helpful service. We ate outside at shaded tables. Will def be back.“

“Thania’s juice bar has healthy juices, great Mexican inspired dishes, and dope remedies for all sorts of ailments. But the best part is….. THANIA!!! She and her staff give a great experience. She answers questions, makes suggestions, and does everything with kindness and grace. Come for the juice, stay for the positivity.“

“Phenomenal food, service, ambience and atmosphere. The menu changes and my favorite is the Tasting Menu. It is divine and I always feel like royalty when I go. 🍽️🧑🏽‍🍳👑🌊🌲“

“Best affordable option in Truckee!“

“This was the most delicious and beautiful vegetarian restaurant meal we have ever had!! Compliments to the entire staff. We will definitely be back!!“

“Nice location. Much be good, a lot of people“

“Julian, our server, was delightful! We both got burgers, one with duck fat fries, and I got the strawberry & beet salad. Food was magnificent! Loved the outdoor patio! Wish they would allow happy hour beyond the bar. We wanted drinks but they would not serve them. Had a wonderful time.“

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

“The food was good overall, but it fell short of expectations. I love the eclectic combinations, and the ingredients were high quality. The scallops and Mac n cheese were elite. The tuna tartare and ribs were very good. The halibut and butter lettuce salad were ordinary. The cookies and cream sandwiches were offensive given the level of the restaurant. It felt like something out of a grocery carton, and ultimately pushed me to give a 4-rating.

Beyond the food, the service and ambience were very good.“

“This is the best place for breakfasts, sandwiches, pastries and other treats in all Lake Tahoe -- and the folks inside are the best!“

“Coffee Kayaks Karma all here.“

“One of the best restaurants I’ve ever experienced! The staff were amazing too!! Definitely tell all my friends that travel to Tahoe that this is a must try!!“

“I love pizza! Gathered here with a work group and had a very nice time. Atmosphere was relaxed. Staff was so friendly and helpful. FOOD - first the salad bar was delicious/fresh and so yummy! The pizza?! Amazing! I was really happy to bring some home to enjoy! Go and eat - you will not be disappointed!“

“Gourmet pizza! We love coming here whenever we are in town. Family owned business and the owner is a wonderful person. We had the pleasure to meet him 3 winters ago. I am so glad how this place gets more and more popular!!

Taste and ingredients are great. The temperature control on the pizza is on point. Price on root beer is so good! Can’t beat that.
One thing to note, it does take long time to get the pizza, if you are in a rush, you can either call ahead to order or try this place when you have time to enjoy. It took us about 45mins to get our pizza a few weeks ago.

They have indoor and outdoor seating! How relaxing.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Staff was friendly and able to pivot quickly when a small meetup changed to a larger gathering.“

“Visited Sunday Morning June 11, 2023. Was very impressed with every employee with whom I came in contact. Our meals were excellent and the coffee was the best I have had for years!“

“I love this place. Great place to eat sushi!“

“The food was exceptional. There was a few items that I did not prefer, but the effort was great and the presentations were outstanding. The service was excellent. The bathrooms are not in the restaurant and we're not very conducive of a five star restaurant. But everything else was excellent.“

“Marley has poured her heart, soul and imagination into the creation of this place. Every item is authentic and homemade and delicious. An absolute gem! Breakfast is awesome! Some of the best sausage and bacon I’ve ever had.
Quite a variety here, with some beloved classics from here and abroad.“

“So. Many. Flavors. The ice cream was delicious and the staff was very generous with the scoop size. There's a nice little patio outside where we were able to sit and enjoy our ice cream. Highly recommend the chocolate dipped waffle cone with peanuts!“

“Great food and beer - and nice people serving 👍“

“One of our favorite places in Truckee, both summer and winter. Very comfortable inside and outside, and always a nice atmosphere. They also have a really impressive wine selection, including some bottles that are not easy to find.

And definitely save room for the cookie skillet with ice cream! We get it almost every time and it’s worth it :)

Always happy to come back.“

“First time in... Food was good and the portion was decent. Not very busy and three servers were on. Service was slow I felt and the bartender was less than friendly, charming or outgoing. Maybe they were having an off night, I don't know. I would go back but maybe just for drinks? .“

“I loved the vegan broth options! Glad we could find a place that has more vegan friendly broth and toppings! Our server Jeraldine was awesome and she took care of our complicated order due to our food allergies! We will be back again!“

“Great breakfast and wonderful service.“

“tri tip burrito was great“

“My husband and I were served the best meal we have ever had. The food, service, ambiance and even the Frank Sanatra playing was perfect. We loved the entire staff. The chef came out to say hello and was so pleasant. We immediately told all our friends and Crysral Bay Steak and Lobster is our number 1 restaurant from now on. Thank you for a great experience! See you soon.“

“A bike event on Sunday turned into a cold, rainy, windy, miserable day. We went to The Dam Cafe for hot chocolate and got so much love! The owner not only welcomed the wet, muddy riders in, she put out space heaters and wrapped us in blankets! Amazing! I was so cold and was warmed both physically and emotionally by the kindness. The food and drink where delicious. Can’t say enough good things. A little cottage of heaven in Tahoe City!“

“Best food we have had in Tahoe. Period !!!! Try the onion rings Fat cat style. !!!“

“I loved this place! It was really neat to go inside and take a look around. We ate outside, which was perfect for this weather. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. I got the peach salad with grilled chicken, which tasted delicious! The portions were a little smaller than I would have liked for the price, but it was a great portion for a smaller lunch salad. Would definitely recommend going there, especially eating outside and absorbing the atmosphere.“

“We’re visiting from the Uk and can’t recommend Za’s enough. Amazing food, amazing view, amazing service, amazing food, amazing staff and amazing value. I can’t recommend this place enough, we loved it and the only negative is that we live a million miles away! Thank you for with a lovely experience xx“

“We had a wonderful meal at Petra/Northstar...I had the chicken and it was delicious. My husband had the steak frites and loved it...cooked perfectly. The mediterranean salad was fabulous...enough for the 4 of us! The cabernet was yummy but I then tried the Pinot Noir and it was AMAZING. Kelsey was very friendly and we enjoyed meeting her.“

“We ordered two cauliflower crust pizzas and a salad for pick up. The cauliflower crust was not an option on the online menu so submitted the order verbally via phone. I figured the cauliflower crust would cost more but I almost fell over when picked up the pizza and told it was $71! Really not sure why I didn't just walk out and tell them to stick the pizza. At this crazy price, I expected an exceptional pizza however, it was anything but. First of all, it was NOT cauliflower pizza crust! Second, it was cold and the crust was hard, with very little sauce. Extremely disappointing.... pass on this overpriced garbage!“

“Our favorite place for sushi and girls outings, love the atmosphere, the food and friendly staff.“

“We arrived just 15 minutes before closing with our whole family, but they were kind enough to feed us anyway, and we were so grateful. An authentic Thai restaurant with quality ingredients, well-balanced flavors, and a nice range of spice levels to choose from! The tom kha soup was a huge hit with everyone. We definitely recommend it if you love Thai food. The service was excellent — thank you for taking care of us even at closing time; we’ll be back soon.

Atmosphere: 4 stars — I’m deducting only because of the design aesthetic, but that’s just my personal preference.“

“Delicious food with a great atmosphere“

“Best Cheese Burger I have ever had!“

“5 star for the all you can eat buffet - satisfying, great quality and open till 11:30am, perfect for brunch.

3 star for the regular lunch menu… food is just okay, not worth the price. And avoid watermelon salad, with one toast + 2 pieces of watermelon (see the photo)“

“Great evening stop. Was just out pub crawling with my girl, happened in, and was immediately greeted by staff. Helped point us to good drinks on tap. Then had a great conversation with the owner Chris, who compt us a couple of shots of something that went down like candy. Can't wait to drop back in and try the food next time.“

“A go to place whilst in the carnelian Bay Area :“

“Eat here ASAP! The burgers were SO good and the French fries we're amazing! We couldn't believe such great food at great prices! Cant beat the service! Might commute from Kansas City to eat here again! YUM!“

“One of our favorite places“

“A great place regardless of time of year!“

“The best cashew chicken & brown rice. I had a great experience with the service even though only 1 person was serving the whole restaurant at lunch. Delicious. I would definitely come back especially for takeout. Casual environment (not fancy), really good food. My companion says the Thai tea was excellent!“
