Noel's Coffee & Apothecary

If I lived or worked in this area, I’d probably come regularly for morning coffee & a bite. They’re charming and fun to chat with! I had a pour-over and Le Monsieur croissant, such a good pair to start the day The evenings are also special. Strong points of service yet with ease of conversation. A lot of personality and skills here. A proper bar!

Noel Apothecary – From Perfect Coffee Mornings to Vibrant Cocktail Evenings Noel Apothecary is a true gem in Tahoe — a place that effortlessly transitions from cozy coffee haven by day to a lively, spirited hangout by evening. In the morning, it’s all about the coffee. Their roast is perfectly balanced, and there’s a solid variety for those who enjoy specialty brews. Leah, the barista during my visit, was fantastic — warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate. I also tried one of their breakfast sandwiches, made with a flaky, buttery croissant — a satisfying and flavorful way to start the day. Come evening, Noel transforms with a vibrant energy. The vibe is elevated by live music, which adds just the right touch of soul without overwhelming the space. Their cocktails were spot on — creative, well-balanced, and made with care. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in and enjoy the atmosphere, whether you’re out with friends or just unwinding solo. Noel Apothecary truly offers the best of both worlds. Whether you’re stopping in for a quiet morning coffee or a lively evening drink, it delivers on quality, service, and ambiance.

Love this place. Drinks are the best. The bartenders and everyone here are very friendly. They can expertly create cocktails. I also appreciate a high skilled cocktail without the attitude that can come with some of these sort of places. Highly recommend and let them create a special cocktail for you based on your preferences! Really wonderful coffee too if you're non drinking alcohol.

We got the honey lavender latte and asked for it not to be too sweet and it was delicious. Standard prices for high quality! 5/5

This is such a nice place to have a drink. We had a crew of guys for a bachelor party and Sara was very accommodating and fun. The drinks were awesome and the atmosphere is very chill. Worth a stop for a nice evening cocktail.

One of the best places we visited during our time in Tahoe. The atmosphere, the drinks, the personality—everything was so much fun! Colton is a cocktail artist and made the most amazing drinks. 12/10. He and Craig had great suggestions for the rest of our trip. We are so glad we stumbled in. You MUST go 💕

Best bar on Stateline for a classy experience with the best cocktails, Sarah’s the best! Plus live music, can’t go wrong

Loved the old world charm of this coffee place. Must visit to experience the place if you are in South Lake Tahoe. We walked across the State line from California to Nevada and found this gem of a place. Loved them ambience and the service. The coffee was good. Just wish however the hot coffee we ordered was a bit more hot on the lips! It cooled off so fast that we missed the slow sip and soak in the ambience a bit more.

This place is such a vibe! The breakfast sandwiches were so good! The cocktails were delicious and high quality. The bartender was so friendly and patient with us. Would definitely recommend!

We came to this place after another bartenders recommendation from social house’s speakeasy! We had a great time talking with Sarah. She makes amazing drinks. Our favorites were the tres chiles margarita and the fleur de neige. We ended the night with live music and dancing to my favorite cranberries song. Everyone is so welcoming here. Thanks for a great night!

One of the best bars in South Lake Tahoe/Stateline! The Coffee Negroni is a true work of art - both the presentation and the taste are outstanding. We also tried a few other cocktails, and every single one was excellent.

Noel’s is a hidden gem in Stateline with a classy, old-money vibe that sets the perfect tone for a night out. The staff was incredibly friendly and personable, making us feel right at home. The music added to the atmosphere without being overwhelming, and every cocktail we tried (four different ones!) was expertly made and delicious. The space was clean and inviting - overall, just a really fun and memorable experience. We’re locals and will be back!

Epic cocktail bar in South Lake Tahoe! House old fashioned is one of my new favorites. Staff is great and works with you to pick or make the perfect cocktail. They also have great coffee, walked out with a pound of local roasted coffee at 11pm! Open mic night was great. Amazing music and met some friendly locals and visitors. When in Tahoe, this Noel's is a must!

Incredible atmospheric place with great coffee and cocktails. Pastries were delicious too!

A wonderful experience! From the moment we walked in on our very first night in Lake Tahoe, my husband and I knew this would become our favorite spot for the rest of our vacation. Adam is an amazing hostess, he went out of his way to make sure we were having a great time. As if Adam’s welcoming personality wasn’t enough, we had the pleasure of meeting the sweetest waitress 🥰 Cody is amazing!!!! I can’t express how much we’re going to miss this place. They also have great live music every night. Highly recommend trying their expresso martini and old fashioned 🙌

Kudos to them for offering hot coffee–based cocktails in this cold weather. While many of the drinks tasted quite similar and none were particularly exceptional, the “Keoke” stood out for its flavor and consistency. The "B52", on the other hand, had a slightly grainy texture, and the bartender missed the peppermint component in the "Rumplesnuggler", which was disappointing. I also wish their full drink list was available online for easier browsing. That said, the décor is gorgeous, the seating is cozy, and it’s a lovely place to warm up and escape the cold.

It's the only upscale cocktail lounge in the area and sure they will charge for that ($20 min per drink). The drinks are good, but not great. For that price, I would expect some wow factors. Nonetheless, it's dark, quiet, well decorated, and nice. I would recommend a stop.

Super little late night spot for cocktails and live music in a speakeasy style environment. Great drinks, if a little pricey ($20-25 per cocktail). Gets busy later evening, so go after 9 for a better atmosphere.

First I’d like to add every time we visit SLT we visit Noel’s for both cocktails in evenings, and sometimes coffee in the morning, both products are very good, and normally service is great. Not this time. The bartender, a gentleman, just did want to take the time to discuss cocktail options. Types of alcohols, cocktails, added aperitifs, etc. this was early in the afternoon, we were the only customers. He was short, seemed frustrated, and out right rude. The drinks were fine, but all 3 of us were miffed by his actions, my sister in law didn’t want to order, so she didn’t. The only redeeming closure to this, there was a lovely gal who was very sweet and thankful. She’s the only reason we left a tip. Otherwise he’d of not received anything. This used to be a very classy place, I feel it’s slipped a bit. Our group coming from the service industry, knows the important of service. He’d make better tips if he wasn’t so arrogant. We all felt the same way. Kudos to the young lady.

We came in the morning for coffee and it was amazing atmosphere. We had an awesome barista. At night it was a different story. Creepy men. These guys came up to me at closing asking personal questions and I looked back at the bartender in a very “help me”way. And l we made eye contact but he just away . I kept looking back and he never looked at me again for the rest of the time. Luckily a girl came to save me as she saw what was going on and we left. I felt so unsafe and uncared for in their space.
