9 Best Cafes near Truckee

“Good coffee! Freshly roasted.“

“Best affordable option in Truckee!“

“The food was delicious! It was very busy, so there isn't a lot of space. You order at the counter & find your own place to sit. There's indoor & outdoor seating. They are connected on the inside to the cornerstone bakery. This is where you pick up your lattes. The reason why I gave a 3 star for service is that once we ordered it took 30 to 45 mins for our food. At one point they were at an hour wait in the kitchen. Thankfully we were able to grab an indoor table right away, but if we hadnt grabbed it right when we walked in, we wouldn't have had a place to sit & eat. It looks like a lot of people got there food togo because of this.“

“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.“

“We recently eat at the cafe on a Wednesday evening, we couldn’t believe how good the food, and service was!

The new chef has brought some amazing tasty dishes; we had fish tacos, and the Ahi bowl. Both used fresh healthy ingredients, and were delicious. The tacos were just right level of spicy! Ali who was serving couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful, even when we arrived 30mins before closing.“

“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.“

“It is my top place to do my homework at specially during summers, grab a nice lavender Latte sip and do your work super-chill. Please don’t make it too crowded though I love to drive to the mountains and do my work here. Management please give me special seat For weekend I don't mind buying extra coffees/Snacks. Thanks 😊“
