Joe Merchant's Coffee & Provisions
4130 Lake Tahoe Blvd, South Lake Tahoe, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside a South Lake Tahoe hotel, Joe Merchant's can be a bit of a mixed bag—parking requires paid valet or lot fees, and you might encounter inconsistent service depending on who's behind the counter. That said, when you hit it right, staff like Nicole, Riley, and Tyler deliver genuinely warm, friendly service that makes the experience worthwhile, and the space itself is clean and welcoming for a quick coffee and pastry stop. It's best suited for hotel guests or those willing to navigate the parking situation, rather than a casual neighborhood drop-in.”

$12 for the most basic sandwich, forced tipping where $0 is invalid input on the machine (this is making a TO GO order while standing at the counter) and a grumpy cashier. Go here as a last resort. Other restaurants like Landshark are actually excellent but avoid this scam
Nicole and Riley were both great! Smiles and good service were everywhere this morning. Would definitely go back!
I have been there, NOT EASY TO PARK unless you pay for VALET PRKING or PAY for parking outside! these coffee shop inside hotel, if you don’t stay there better you find other coffee shop!
THANK YOU Riely for the warm friendly greeting. Tyler Thank You for the pleasant and Professional mannerism. We had a not so pleasant experience during check in and notice staff at the hotel aren't really friendly, so to walk in the coffee shop and be greeted by Riely with a bright smile, warm hello and a wave 😀 😊 started my Day off right. THANKS YOU GUYZ ❣️
Bagel tough coffee average but excellent service nice clean place!
