This place is so cute and cozy with fun games available to play while waiting for the food. The staff were fairly friendly and the food and coffee tasted pretty good. I would not buy the sandwich again because it was really flat and not as filling. It was nice that it came with chips! I don't see why it's an extra charge for regular burrito items such as greens or tomatoes. I would skip out on the greens next time as they weren't cut small enough and you'd pull them out of the burrito after almost each bite. Would probably come here again for some coffee and maybe an açaí bowl and basic bfast burrito!

A wonderful local coffee shop with good vibes, food, prices, and people. Stumbled into this place after a three day backpacking trip and we definitely made the right decision. We didn't want something that was overpriced or felt too corporate. We just wanted a place where we could stuff our faces and relax for a while. The baristas were really nice and they played great music. The menu was art-sy and up to date, they answered our questions and gave us suggestions. We ended up getting two specialty drinks and two breakfast burritos. Everything was awesome! The burritos were absolutely huge and we didn't have to eat again until dinner. I'd recommend adding the balsamic onions. This definitely felt like a local place. People in the town were catching up and hanging out, heard multiple people say they go there often. So if the locals choose to go here over and over again you know it is good! I will definetly come back or recommend it to my friends when they go to Tahoe!

I chose this spot for breakfast to avoid the $18 omelets at almost every other breakfast place in South Lake Tahoe, and it did not disappoint. It has an upgraded but charming "hole in the wall" feel. The old wooden screen door and rickety back fence with a mural of plants painted on it feel rustic and suit the laid-back vibe, but the shiny coffee equipment and neatly printed chalkboard menu show the care that goes into the place. The breakfast sandwich and burrito were made with pretty basic ingredients, but they were high quality. The taste and value were reasonable for being around $11 each. To drink, I got the purple haze, which is vanilla chai with lavender, and I was quite pleased with my choice. It was a subtle but delightful twist on a classic. Would definitely go again!

The perfect stop! We had lunch here and will be coming back. Our food and drinks were delicious. Can't wait to try their breakfast and coffee drinks. They had a nice selection of canned drinks as well. Loved the atmosphere inside and outside. And to top it off, the owner was super nice too! We'll be back soon.

We like to walk here for the good food and chill environment. Dogs are allowed inside/outside which is a bonus for us. They have a large variety of drink selections. We got breakfast sandwiches & I had the vanilla latte.

Cute little coffee shop we found on the way out of town. The purple haze with oat milk was amazing. Reasonable time to get our drinks on a Sunday morning around 9 am. Food took a little longer but was one of the best breakfast burritos I've had. So delicious!
