Tahoe Java offers excellent food but even better service and employees. I walked in and immediately felt welcome and cozy. Charlie1013- I think you should give it a second chance. Greasy Denny's food doesn't compare to healthy, freshly made breakfast and lunch. more

This place has it all. The coffee is good, the food is unique and great, and the banana bread is the biggest reason to come. It is everything you want out of a small coffee shop/ deli in a small mountain townWe visit Tahoe about 4 times a year and we come here every time. more

Tahoe Java has the best coffee and frienliest service on the south shore - the staff is great. Also you should try their great home baked pastries. The ambience is warm and friendly - a quiet place to read or meet a friend. more
