Clydes Coffee Roasting Company
292 Kingsbury Grade Rd #33, Tahoe City, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked near Heavenly in Tahoe City, this roastery has earned a devoted following for its consistently excellent espresso and thoughtful pour overs, with regulars returning daily for their straightforward black coffee or creative drinks like the lavender latte and Very Berry smoothie. The intimate, wood-warm space strikes that rare balance of cozy enough to linger for hours yet respectful enough that solo coffee drinkers and groups both feel at home, especially paired with their standout pastries like the chocolate scone. It's the kind of local gem that makes a ski trip detour feel essential rather than convenient.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

A definite highlight on my last trip up. Might have gotten coffee here everyday. My coffee order is real simple (hot, black, no sugar or sweeteners) and this place delivers. Really took to their dark roast "Cowboy" blend. Always a line but it moved quick. Lot of outdoor seating,…
This is an amazing local coffee shop! The atmosphere is mellow and inviting. I really enjoyed my lavender latte—it had great complexity and wasn’t sweet, which I really appreciated. I also tried the masala chai, which was delicious, and the apple strudel was fabulous. Definitely…
