“The best matcha latte I ever had! And great customer service too!“

“Such great breves, employees and atmosphere!! We've only been to Dark Horse Coffees in San Diego but this feels the same!! 😄☕😃☕“

“Went to visit Cafe Lupine, at the suggestion of a friend and it was such a great experience. The atmosphere is extremely Inviting, the staff is both friendly and knowledgeable. There are comfy places and little nooks to sit, with padded cushions but also a beautiful outdoor patio area with nice seating and beautiful views of nature. I was on my way to volunteer at the Humane Society so one of my favorite ‘perks’ (pun intended) was Sophia, the friendly staff dog, who chills on the patio and greets you with a happy little tail wag, to let you know that she is so happy that you have decided to visit her home away from home and take a little break from all of life’s worries, agendas and everything else that can wait, while you take some time to relax and reset. Highly recommend stopping by to enjoy a coffee, matcha or one of their delicious pastries. You’ll be happy that you did. ♥️“

“Stopped in Truckee to see the Donner Museum on our way farther west and had breakfast here. Amazing food and more than reasonable prices (we got the early bird special, half off breakfast - under $40 for three large meals and coffee).

The sourdough toast with homemade blackberry jam was AMAZING. Only regret is they don't sell it by the jar.“

“Excellent coffee, very good service, prompt. Pretty good selection of fresh baked goods, a great buzz in the place, with people meeting and chatting. Great art on the walls, and clearly has free Wi-Fi. Definitely would come back.“

“Great spot to grab a coffee, gelato or snack on the West Shore.“

“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!“

“I’ve visited this place at least five times, and each time has been fantastic! I’ve had the pleasure of trying different favors each time, and I absolutely love the snowboarding decor inside. It’s the perfect spot to unwind after a day of skiing or snowboarding in the spring, until the next season begins. :)“

“Beautiful views and great coffee!“

“This place is finally my fav spot as new manager Sarah had made Little Bear into a wonderful local spot! She is always present and works so hard to keep that busy line moving smooth! Best cold brew and all the employees are so sweet amd personable. Shout out to Barka and Vivian and Clara and Merisch and Michelle. Kind people who very hard with smiles and always so fun to be around.
Place is immaculate also which shows how much pride Sarah and crew have!!“

“I went in yesterday with an omelet in mind when I saw corned beef hash on the menu. When I ordered it, the waitress asked "canned or fresh?" That was an easy choice, fresh! It was perfect homemade hash and even contained some green pepper. The best that I have had in years! I ordered it with sliced tomatoes and was in seventh heaven. Can't wait to return. The wait staff were the best too.“

“So glad we stopped here. We ordered sandwiches(turkey sandwich with Chipotle sauce, and a chicken salad) for for our road trip to Baltimore. Stopping here is a must for a healthy meal. The home made pasta was a surprise for when the lady brought it out to our car as a parting treat for us, delicious! Thanks to both ladies for making our stop a memorial one. Hope to stop by again in the near future. Love ! Love! ❤ , and keep up the great work.“

“Absolutely, hands down the best cinnamon roll I've ever had !! Super friendly, happy people wait on you and it's reasonable priced too! Our new go-to in Truckee !! They have lots of Gluten free pastries as well!“

“Gonzalo truly set the tone for an exceptional experience at the Living Room Lodge (LRL) at The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe. Warm, friendly, and incredibly attentive, he made us feel genuinely cared for, from start to finish. His hospitality felt effortless and heartfelt — and the heavenly vanilla latte he crafted came with a smile that made it even more special. Gonzalo is a true gem and a shining example of Ritz-Carlton’s world-class service & hospitality.

We were seated in a beautiful spot with stunning views of the Northstar ski slopes on a bright, sunny day. The experience was elevated by sitting behind a subtle tinted glass that softened the harshness of the sun while still letting in all the light and scenery — the perfect balance. Surrounded by towering Sierra Nevada pines, the setting felt serene, cozy, and quintessentially Tahoe.

We started with a vanilla latte that was nothing short of magical — it truly felt like a warm embrace in a cup. Smooth, comforting, and crafted to perfection.

The meat burger was perfectly done — juicy, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. My son absolutely loved the chocolate and strawberry ice cream, which was a delightful treat.

Dessert was the grand finale: the salted caramel lotus with vanilla sponge cake, caramel glaze, and cacao nib streusel was an absolute masterpiece. Each bite delivered a beautiful harmony of textures, flavors & suspense; indulgent yet refined.

An unforgettable experience that blends breathtaking views, outstanding food, and truly genuine hospitality.“
