About Starbucks

Located next to the Gondola in Heavenly Valley, this Starbucks is a small, unassuming coffee shop that offers a reliable cup of coffee. Despite being off-season, the store has a limited number of workers, which can lead to mistakes with orders. However, the staff is friendly and willing to try to get it right. The menu offers standard Starbucks fare, as well as unique items like the Heavenly Mocha Frappuccino. While the store may not be the most exciting, it's a good place to grab a coffee on the go. The cozy ambiance makes it a perfect spot to relax, especially when it’s cold outside and quiet inside. Customers often find the drinks to be better and cheaper than at nearby locations, and the view outside adds to the appeal. The staff is efficient, making drinks quickly even when busy, and the atmosphere feels welcoming, especially during stormy days or early mornings. It’s a convenient place to enjoy a warm beverage while watching the surroundings or taking a break from outdoor activities.

The Starbucks is very small, with no place to sit and lounge around, making it ideal for a quick coffee rather than relaxing. Customers have praised the friendly and quick staff, with one mentioning a favorite drink suggested by a barista—Misto with 4 pumps sf and cinnamon steamed in with the milk—that has become a regular order. Many find the drinks to be better and less expensive than at other nearby places, and the outside view adds to the experience. This Starbucks is especially perfect in the afternoon for recharging after sightseeing or playing golf around Lake Tahoe. Despite its size, it remains a reliable spot for a good coffee.
