Terrific food! We stopped twice for lunch and were delighted both times with the excellent food, service, and value. It was clear that many locals eat here -- you get to enjoy stories about the neighborhood bear problems -- and they know where to find the good food! (Bears and locals.) more

far and away the best breakfast in north/south lake tahoe area the menu is pretty straight forward and doesn't seem that different from the normal cafe breakfast, but the prep of food is superb and the service is great. Yes, there are lines going on the door -- but it is worth the wait. Try the fresh juices, the hot... more

but this is without a doubt the best breakfast and lunch place in the North Shore. Food of the best quality, served fresh and hot, and with a smile.

My family and I have eaten here many times over the past several years and have yet to be disappointed. You simply can not go wrong with what you order here. I suggest always trying the muffin of the day. Try the cobbler. For the member of the family that loves the benedict you have to try one of their's.... more

My family wouldn't go to Tahoe without visiting this folksy fun restaurant. The food is great - from omlettes to oatmeal. Freshly squeezed orange juice is a real treat. more
