Was visiting family in town, remembered that this place was so good and that they had pot pies so we saw that it was open on Yelp and we got out and drove into the snow to get there only to see that it was closed and until April 15. Really wished they update their business hours and let us know.

Here's the low-down: 1. Food - There's a lot of attention to detail here; there's fresh baked bread, there's Gumbo made daily, there's fresh fries. This is not a place that embraces canned / frozen foods. The medium rare burger I had was perfect with fresh fries and (seemed like) a freshly baked bun. My one complaint was the first cup of coffee; it tasted a little burned, but we were there late in the day. Also, I'd have rather seen a smaller menu featuring only what they do best, but that's my preference. I did not hear any complaints from anyone else while I was there. 2. Service - It was busy, and it's a coffee shop; you're not here to have a Maitre d' experience. You're going to get the friendly coffee shop vibe that borders on overly familiar. If you're not used to this, it might feel uncomfortable, but stay with it, you'll expand your horizons. 3. Ambiance - Wagon train doesn't try to be what it's not; it's a coffee shop with some fantastically crafted food. It feels like a locals-only gem despite its location in the middle of the downtown area. This is a rare gem where corners are not being cut; this kind of place is rapidly becoming a lost bit of Americana, definitely get in there and taste it while you can.

Staff was friendly! However their mocha coffee tasted of burnt espresso, hotcakes were delicious. The gumbo was great but too much celery in my opinion. Decor was spot on and fit with the "train" aesthetic.

Wagon Train Coffee Shop is a hidden gem! The rustic ambiance creates a cozy atmosphere, complemented by the delightful aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The menu offers a variety of options for breakfast and different preferences, and the friendly staff adds a welcoming touch. Whether you're seeking a quiet space to work or catching up with friends, Wagon Train delivers a perfect blend of great coffee and charming surroundings.Please note they close at 1:00pm

Siobhan is an absolutely amazing owner and takes care of her customers. The food and atmosphere are classic Truckee and diner style. A must visit for locals and tourists alike.

Early morning Breakfast. I had a early meeting and arrived to Truckee 5:30 AM. I remembered they had 50% before 7:00 AM so decided to try an omelette. Quite a few regulars/locals here when I arrived. There is a sign to 'seat yourself' so I grabbed a table. One of the guys at the counter got up and offered me a coffee. The server remembered me from my last visit and welcomed me warmly. I verified the 50% discount as a omelette with shrimp and avocado is $25.50... What I ordered: Spinach mushroom omelette add sausage Biscuit The biscuit arrived fairly quickly. To my surprise, it was split, toasted with butter and honey! It was late and flaky, I really enjoyed my biscuit this way. My omelette arrived shortly after the biscuits. One thing about the omelette, the cheese was on the outside of the omelette, on top. There was no cheese inside it. I like this idea as I can control how much cheese I want to eat. The hashbrowns though crispy on one side, we're not cooked on the underside. I forgot to ask to have the hashbrowns browned on both sides. All in all a great breakfast, great service at 50% off! I definitely would come back.
I was in and out but food was good and food is half off if you arrive before 7:30 ??

The service was pretty good. They have a seat yourself sign when you walk in. The homemade jam was probably the best part of the meal. I had a bacon and cheese omelette. The bacon was pretty much raw. I would not go back to this place.
