Do people work on their laptops at this coffee shop??
Breakfast burrito was good and I ended up getting the Lucretia drink. Was a nice experience, would go back again
MoreGood stuff just a little slow. Always seems a little understaffed
Awesome cafe! Please wear mask for service!
Lots of seating and adorable Tahoe vibes - chill mountain town staff that care about your experience
MoreLattes were good, but the gal that took my order forgot about me, and even after a gentle reminder, it still took another 10-15 minutes to pass out my breakfast item (it was a premade breakfast croissant and just needed to be tossed in the microwave) and it was still cold in the center. All in all, it took over half an hour to get a half-warm premade croissant sandwich.
MoreGreat little local coffee shop with food, good seating, books, and games. Lots of parking and woodsy outdoor seating.
MoreAmazing coffee and the worker is so friendly and patient when answering questions. Coffee was beyond expectations so I’m very satisfied.
MoreGood coffee, nice quiche, decent service. There is a bit of expectation that you know where things are. They have supplies in 3 places (utensils right of self service coffee bar almost hidden behind coffee beans - tops, stir sticks and napkins in side window - cream and sugar at far end of the building in front window) having never been there I didn't see the utensils and asked. Then when the cream and sugar wasn't with the stir sticks and tops in side window I asked where they were. I now understand their system, but the "you're bothering me tone" was unnecessary. At that point, I explained we were new resident and it was our 1st visit so she would know we were newbies and didn't mean to be a pain. Don't get me wrong, we'll be back as it was nice coffee and we try to always support the local and hopefully we won't need extra guidance.
MoreLove this spot. Great menu both drink and food.
So good we came twice in one day. Great treats and sandwiches. We helped carry in restaurant supplies and Crystal treated us to cookies. What an awesome way to help out. We'll Beck back for sure.
MoreService can be extremely slow due to the low number of people behind the counter. Came here for a friend's coffee craving and we just stood for 10 minutes before actually getting the order done. Seems like a cozy spot for local dwellers. Just don't expect any hangout space for a semi-large group (3+) since each of the locals would take up all the tables.
MoreGreat Americano for only $2.25. The Batista was very funny, too. Lots of parking out back and free Wi-Fi.
MoreSuch a Cozy coffee shop with fireplace!! Lots of fabulous treats!! Great staff!!
MoreCozy little shop, I'm not a coffee drinker myself but tried their Mexican Hot Chocolate the first visit & a Pineapple smoothie the second. The staff is super friendly & helpful!
MoreThe coffee cake is amazing. It’s super moist and full of cinnamon, like a lighter version of a cinnamon roll. The staff was super friendly and coffee is good. Lots of other pastries and snacks that look delicious as well.
MoreGood coffee, good atmosphere, nice people. Beautiful South Tahoe!
Adorable coffee shop with boardgames, lots of seating indoor and outdoor. The coffee was so delicious and you can buy organic whole beans for home!
MoreCute coffeeshop with delicious coffee. Nice staff and nice atmosphere!
Incredibly friendly staff. Awesome coffee!
The coffee is delicious. I also bought some to brew at home, and it was very good. Baked goods in point. All in all, great spot!
MoreExcellent coffee and good food and service
Great coffee and food, sometimes a little slow but its worth the wait
My favorite coffee place in SLT. Sweet staff and delicious food here. Best iced white mocha ever! The california grilled cheese club was exceptional. It did cost $14 and it can feed two people.
MoreA nice cozy, local spot with bomb lattes, delicious breakfast sandwiches and tasty sweets!
MoreGreat coffee shop. Coffee tastes great, food is great and staff are amazing ! Definitely worth checking out when in south lake Tahoe
MoreGreat place with very good coffee. They also1 serve an eclectic menu that includes a selection of vegan, gluten free and regular snacks and breakfast foods. Decent prices, very good service and a personable staff. Better than most chains by a great deal. All around value is terrific.
MoreWas in the area for 3 days. Came each day. Last day was lucky enough to be there for Father's Day celebration, that was amazing!
MoreNice little spot in South Lake for coffee and a bite. Yummy sandwiches and giant breakfast burritos. They have several tables inside but it's a cozy place. They serve traditional coffee drinks and some interesting variations on coffee drinks. The Tiger Chai is sooo good. The servers are friendly and it was a relaxing place to spend some time.
MoreCute cafe, fantastic burritos and coffee. You can also buy board games and coffee mugs etc. Cozy interiors with an electric fireplace.
MoreFantastic breakfast burrito. Cute sitting area inside. I will be back!
First visit here. The young lady helped my wife to choose the right coffee drink. She ended up making her a drink with cold brew coffee, English toffee syrup and creamer on ice. My wife liked how strong the coffee was. My son had a non coffee drink, Coconut Cream.
MoreWe liked their breakfast menu and coffees! Very friendly staff! We ate outside in the cool breeze and the sounds of trees—-wish I could repeat this every morning. Very pleasant atmosphere!
MoreFresh fruit to enjoy. Quiet and warm.
Drive 80+ miles to find a cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. Very good coffee and great place to stop and relax. Definitely will be back!
MoreWe were here yesterday and came back again today 😄. We had their breakfast sandwiches, bagels, quiches and the lunch caprese sandwich. All generous sizes, so delicious, warm & comforting. They have many other options like pastries and cakes too. The Tiger Chai was a favorite for me, coffee and other specialty drinks we tried were delicious too. My new favorite little gem when in town.
MoreVery cute place on the inside.. Too bad they don't believe in masks. They would have had two extra customers.
MoreNice coffee shop. Serves hand crafted coffees, snacks and treats. There is free parking just off the road.
MoreAlpina has never had great service, orders usually take a very long time and food can typically take up to half an hour. One time they lost my order and I didn't receive my food for an hour an a half. Over the years their prices have gone up exponentially (Calpina burrito used to be $7, now it's $10) and the service remains very slow. On top of that the food quality has been going down as well. The burrito I had today was mostly eggs and with very little flavor (it lacked salsa and the ranch so the burrito was very, very dry). I continue to give Alpina chances and I think I've finally learned my lesson and will not be returning. It's a shame, as a Tahoe local I like to support local businesses, but I will not be supporting Alpina in the future.
MoreLovely, cozy coffee shop with amazing food and coffee. Highly recommend.
Excellent coffee and friendly environment.
Very average. The cappuccino had the solid bath foam at the top, which I do not like. The old fashioned oatmeal was just cup with dry oatmeal which was handed to me. Customer needs to figure out where is the hot water and pour it in. The cafe is otherwise nice inside, but cannot recommend coffee or the food there.
MoreReally neat coffee shop with amazing food, super friendly kind staff, and some unique options. I had a gigantic piece of quiche that was to die for. I highly recommend this place if you are in the area.
MoreAlpina makes the most awesome breakfast burrito which goes good with my cup of Sumatra coffee. I love visiting Alpina, it is cute, cozy and very friendly staff.I have found my new favorite coffee shop
MoreOne of my favorite places to visit. Best coffee in the area, and very yummy pastry.
MoreAmazing café. Wonderful food. It's very cute cozy and quaint with a great outdoor seating area. Much much better than Starbucks. The atmosphere is amazing. Honestly I could go on and on. Definitely stop by for a cup of coffee if in the Tahoe area.
MoreExcellent and unique atmosphere with delicious drinks. A must-see local coffee place (especially after a satisfying hike). A bit disorderly near the kitchen and order area, though.
MoreOur first time in. Baristas were having a fun, eventful conversation in the back but barely made eye contact with us at the resister. I handed her my card and she monologued about putting it in the chip reader, which I hadn't noticed on the cluttered counter. Once the first woman took our order, another came up and stared a hole into my head for a solid 10 seconds until I let her know we had already been helped. She just said, "Oh," then walked away. We didn't realize if you just got a drip coffee, you were allowed to grab your own cup, fill it from the carafe, then walk to the complete other side of the shop for cream and sugar. Peeling signs taped to tables, large spots of dust and crumbs creeping out from corners. It's a cool layout with funky art; maybe we came in on an off day, but I don't feel super compelled to come back and explore their menu.
MoreDelicious, cute, and cozy! Great prices too! Wonderful selection of baked treats and you can even get yourself a bowl of cereal for $0.50! A hidden gem for sure.
MoreGood coffee, but they screwed up our order twice. Don’t know what’s going on with that except for inattention. Food was ok but not great. You won’t starve.
MoreThis is an extraordinary coffee shop.Not only is the coffee fresh, but it is flavorful and nicely brewed. As for the ambiance, I give it 10 stars. The interior design deeply reflects the uniqueness of South Lake Tahoe and the people that come have coffee there. Instead of the big crowds you see pouring into commercial coffee franchises like Starbucks, the atmoshere is serene, and folksy. I felt I was visiting someone's personal cottage. There is a quaint fireplace, adjacent to working tables, several lounge chairs, and work stations toward the rear of the store. My only concern is the baristas and store personnel were not over friendly. Also, the area near the utensils was not clean, nor was the bathroom. Nonetheless, I plan to become a regular customer because my overall experience was favorable.
