SAL the manager was so awesome at resolving our late check-in dilemma as our room wasn’t already. I live in Reno and I will definitely be back! I don’t think I’ve ever felt that relaxed in years“

“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!“

“tome un café latte con un mega muffin de chocolate, un lemon cake y un smotti de durazno TODO ESTABA DELICIOSO Y FRESCO 😋“

“My husband and I wanted some cocktails in South Lake Tahoe over the summer and heard that Cleo’s bar at the new Caesar Republic hotel is the place to try. We were impressed with the new cocktail bar and its bartender Justin. He was professional, polite, articulate, knowledgeable, and accommodating while handling big crowds. Justin’s drinks were amazing, the best we have ever had! He was to be able to whip up delicious cocktails quickly when the crowds started to roll in and everyone was complimenting his drinks. Located in the hotel lobby, Cleo’s did not have the typical flashing lights, chaos, and noises of a typical casino. Its ambiance was calming, modern, clean, well lit but not too bright with loud enough music in the background so we could still talk. We enjoyed our experience thoroughly and happy that we gave this surprise spot a try. The coffee bar on the other side has delicious foods, snacks, and treats with non-alcoholic drinks available. Recommend a try if you are happened to be visiting South Lake Tahoe.“
