“Super friend staff and amazing food! Everyone was so friendly and helpful but, most importantly, the food was SO good! My husband and I both got different omelets and both were so good. We ate until we were beyond stuffed because the food was THAT good! He got a Bloody Mary that was one of the best I’ve had out here and I got a mimosa. Perfect little brunch atmosphere and set up! ❤️ You can not visit Lake Tahoe and pass this honey up!“

Paired with the Parmesan-crusted sourdough, it was the perfect combination. Highly recommend! I’m already craving another turkey sandwich lol. 😋🥪“

“We had a small wedding reception here on August 19. We started in the garden until rain moved in and MacDuffs quickly moved us inside and upstairs. The food and service were excellent.

“We’ve stayed at the Tahoe South location twice now and have loved it both times. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and quick to jump in if we need anything. The vibe is great in the summer and just as cozy during snowstorms. It’s so nice having an onsite coffee shop for my morning coffee and an onsite brewery to hang out at night. We’ll definitely be back!“

Tons of locals and tourists alike, everyone was friendly with a laid back atmosphere and pool tables. The place was very clean, organized and I loved their merchandise. Highly recommend.“

“This is a fun, family-friendly, dog-friendly place, with an ever-changing selection of fine beers brewed right on site. Seating inside and out.
They have a weekly trivia contest, and sometimes sponsor special events with outside food vendors and various expert artists and craftspeople.“

“Holy crap!! What a great spot! I went on a Friday night, no reservation, but they made a spot for me and my two dogs! They had a dog menu and I got the beef bowl for my boys. The food was amazing, had the truffle fries and artichoke pasta. The staff was so nice. My Theo kept jumping on them, so annoying, he's not usually like that, but they just loved on him instead of getting annoyed, though I'm sure they were. Literally the best little spot in south lake tahoe. Cannot recommend enough!!“

“Freel Perk Cafe was a great stop for us on the way back to San Francisco after a snowboarding trip. The place has a really nice atmosphere, and we loved the positive messages written on the walls, it makes the space feel warm and welcoming.
I had a matcha latte, and it was one of the best I’ve had. I don’t like sweet matcha, and they were happy to make it unsweetened for me, it was perfect.
A lovely café to stop by if you’re in the area. Great drinks and a great vibe!“

“Had a great experience. Nick the bartender was great. Friendly, polite and attentive. Would definitely return.“

“💜💜💜 great place to eat!!!!“

“Will start off by saying the food was great! However the hostess was another story. Recwntly had dinner on 8/11/24. The hostess would not let us sit at the table to start ordering drinks because we were missing 2 out of the 8 people in our group. needless to say we already had 6 ready to be seated. once we were seated the table next to us had the umbrella slanted. this caused the table to fly over from a gust of wind shattering a plate and cutting my leg. the stay was kind enough to provided a wipe and some bandaid. We continued our night until the hostess decided to empty water cups from other guest into the flower bed behind us. Which then caused the dirt to splash up on one of our guest white shirts and be covered in mud. A smug sorry was replied out. As stated before the food was terrific and the wait staff was great but the hostess needs to be replaced.“

“Food is very good. Service was great - Nicole D is charming and efficient! We will be back (again)!“

“Great vegan and other dishes.“

“Found by chance as we were driving by. Love love loved it!!!! Great atmosphere, food and latte and bonus live music 💕 outside on their beautiful patio area. Highly recommend!“

“I'm a big gelato fan, especially hazelnut flavor. they have a good one here :)“

“Food is fine but nothing special. Service, drinks and atmosphere are very good! Pizzas are disappointing but the white pizza is definitely the best one and imo the only one worth the price. Sandwiches are good. The side salads are really good. Everything carries the "Tahoe tax" aka overpriced. Love the vibes and we come here often just to eat around the fire pits“

“The rolled iced cream is the best!“

“This is my green tea boba place in SLT!!“

“Great hospitality, even better food! The staff and owners are friendly and welcoming!“

“One of the most friendly restaurant staff I have ever encountered. Made sure we were taken care of the entire way. I even think my daughter had a little crush on our server Danny 😂 ohh and the pizza was great too!“

“I recently visited Tahoe Bear Tea House, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best bubble tea shops I’ve ever been to. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, cozy, and inviting. The interior has a modern yet relaxing vibe, making it the perfect spot to hang out with friends, do some studying, or just enjoy a quiet break with a refreshing drink. The drinks are absolutely amazing. I tried their classic milk tea with boba, and it was spot on—smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced in sweetness. The tapioca pearls were cooked just right: soft, chewy, and flavorful, which is something I always look for in a good boba shop. I also tried one of their specialty fruit teas, and it was so refreshing and full of natural flavor. What I love most is that you can really taste the quality of the ingredients; nothing feels artificial or overly sweet. The menu has a great variety to choose from—whether you’re into traditional milk teas, fruity blends, or creative specialty drinks, there’s definitely something that will catch your attention. It’s clear that they put thought and care into crafting their drinks, and it shows in every sip. Aside from the drinks, the customer service was outstanding. The staff were friendly, patient, and more than willing to help me pick something from the menu since it was my first time there. They took the time to explain the different options, and their recommendations were spot on. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and want you to have the best experience possible. Overall, Tahoe Bear Tea House is a gem. It’s not just a bubble tea shop—it’s a place where you can relax, enjoy high-quality drinks, and feel welcomed every time you visit. I’m already looking forward to coming back and trying more of their drinks. If you’re in the area and craving boba, this is definitely the place to go!“

“Always satisfied when my Family comes here!“

“Good Vietnamese restaurant with a casual and comfortable atmosphere. The menu seems great for pho, noodles, rice dishes, spring rolls, and other classic Vietnamese favorites. Prices are moderate, portions feel satisfying, and service is usually straightforward. A solid choice when you want warm, flavorful Vietnamese food in a relaxed setting.“

“One of the most friendly restaurant staff I have ever encountered. Made sure we were taken care of the entire way. I even think my daughter had a little crush on our server Danny 😂 ohh and the pizza was great too!“
