Really cute spot on the west shore with nice coffees and ice creams

Ana Maria Olmos

Casual outside ordering with seating outside. Very cute place with a nice selection of beverages and muffins and bagels.

Hands down one of the best locations for coffee on the West Shore. Always greeted with a smile and great recommendations on their new flavors. Affogato is a must here!

Ashraf Ara Sarwari

This place has wonderful tastes of ice creams that u can found . I haven't tried anything else there except the ice cream that was wonderful all the tastes they got all wonderful.

Joe Armstrong

Very good coffee - it was so good I didn't downgrade it for not having any drip coffee, they only do espresso drinks. Tasty bagels and a very friendly staff.

My wife and I went here a few days ago for the first time and loved it. My wife ordered a beet root latte with almond milk which she absolutely loved. The sweet girl working who was handling multiple orders and by herself did a terrific job, was friendly and kind. Definitely will go back. Looked like they choose to use a lot of organic ingredients which is awesome

Fantastic gelato; I had the pink grapefruit which is full of flavor with just the right hint of sweetness, smooth texture and super refreshing after a hot, smokey run! Also enjoyed a superb iced americano. Seems like they've had some trouble with staff, but my experience was with some very attentive and friendly young ladies 👍

Excellent service and tasty gelato. Small but great for what they have.

I can't speak to the espresso bar, because they don't have decaf, but the gelato is a small selection about 7-8 flavors, but pretty good considering how small of a location it is. It is made fresh on premises each day, and about half the flavors were vegan options. I tried the vegan pink grapefruit and it was tasty and refreshing. The vegan version still isn't truly gelato, but is definitely in a class above the sorbet that most ice cream places offer as a dairy free alternative. It is a little pricey, $4 for a small and $6 for a medium, but was a fun treat.

Stopped in here 3 times on our recent visit to Tahoe. We were staying just down the road and this was a convenient location to stop by on our morning walk. The staff was nice on all 3 visits and the service was quick. I tried 3 different drinks: an iced honey latte, an iced lavender latte, and a hot Nutella latte. I really wanted to like this place because it had a good vibe and nice people but I was not very thrilled with their drinks. In all 3 of my lattes the flavor was just sitting on the bottom with the milk & espresso on top of it. I tried to stir it in but it just wouldn’t combine, so each sip was either an unflavored mouthful of espresso & milk or a straight shot of undiluted flavor. Not great. I’m not sure if they don’t pour the shots over the syrup so they don’t melt the syrups and combine them with the milk & espresso or what but I definitely could have made a better latte at home. I tried the hot Nutella latte as a last resort to see if at least the hot lattes were good but had the same issue. The Nutella was just a big blob at the bottom of the cup, even after I tried to stir and combine it. My take away/tldr is if you stop by here, get something unflavored and you will probably enjoy it much better.

DO NOT GET THE ICED RED VELVET LATTE. The iced red velvet latte was undrinkable. If there was any espresso in the drink then I must have not tasted it. Gelato tastes fine though.

Friendly service but the coffee was absolutely terrible. We ordered 4 different lattes and they ALL tasted like dirty water or sweetened dirty water. Seems like the shots weren’t pulled correctly or they were poured over ice before adding the milk… hoping this was a fluke. Otherwise, some serious adjustments need to be made to redeem the coffee we experienced.

My drink had little to no flavor. My cup was leaking all over when they gave it to me. She told me their were "napkins over there" versus fixing the situation before giving it to me. We won't be back.

Don't waste your time, the woman who seems like she owns it or manages with hairy legs is not friendly what so ever and can not make a coffee to save her life. Stopped twice on our trip and 1st time was excellent but older woman is uninviting and seemed like we inconvenienced her by stopping for coffee. Younger gal with blonde hair made our coffee spot on and was delicious. She was friendly but other woman didn't nor say a word nor even greeted us back when saying good morning.

The iced latte and gelato I had were nice, but the barista working was rude and lazy. I’m in the service industry so I’m by no means a difficult customer, but this young woman was being so dismissive! They were out of sugar so I asked politely if they had any more and she just said “no, we’re out” without looking. Really frustrating for a coffee shop not to have sugar, but I am pretty sure she just didn’t feel like refilling it. And she left the store to sit outside on her phone and relax, it really felt like she had no interest in being there and wanted us to leave as soon as possible. (We weren’t overstaying our welcome- we were there for maybe 15 minutes max). Wouldn’t want to come here again unless they sort out their staff.

Stopped on my annual motorcycle ride around the lake yesterday, a day before official opening. The nice young lady in charge made me coffee even though she was busy getting ready for opening day on Saturday. I really appreciated that. Her neighbor, Quinten, owner of Cult Burger was also very friendly. Great stop for those wanting a quiet, less touristy, more local vibe.

Really wanted this cute neighborhood spot to have good coffee. Unfortunately it was one of the worst espresso drinks I’ve ever had.
