Crema's Take

“Tucked into Truckee with a loyal following, this spot earns its stellar reputation through genuinely excellent house-made pastries—especially those legendary blueberry croissants—paired with espresso that holds its own and creative seasonal offerings like vegan chili and chai lattes that keep regulars coming back. The spacious, family-friendly vibe makes it ideal for lingering over breakfast or meeting friends, though fair warning: peak times get busy, so arrive with patience or grab a seat on the outdoor patio. It's the kind of place where nearly everything tastes thoughtfully made rather than mass-produced, setting it apart across the entire Lake Tahoe region.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Average cafe. Counter service. Breakfast sandwich is okay--better than fast food. Smoothie didnt taste fresh but was okay. Decent espresso. Lots of floor space taken up by merchandise (tshirts and hats for tourist sales) while the tables are crowded into a small space plus some…

Hands down the best blueberry croissant in the world. We all had something different, it was all exceptionally good. Fresh baked breads and pastries, and bagels. The vegetarian chilli was great with the chips. My caramel latte was pretty good as well.

Very busy, but worth the wait! Have some patience. Here's what the lemon bar looks like. Rich and decadent. Vegan chili and cornbread is really delicious 😋 too. I like the hot chai latte. They have many choices.
