Early 90's Coffee
900 Ski Run Blvd ste 118, Tahoe City, CA
Crema's Take
“Early 90's Coffee captures that perfect blend of Tahoe relaxation and specialty coffee focus, with a notably chill vibe that keeps folks lingering over pour overs and espresso drinks in a space that welcomes laptops, dogs, and lingering conversations alike. The pastry program swings toward crepes and croissants as your cozy companions, and the marina-adjacent outdoor seating makes this the kind of place where your coffee tastes better with a view. Fair warning: their milk work can be a bit heavy-handed, so if you prefer your espresso to shine through, a spec request or pour over might be your best bet.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Wifi.

Very cool vibe and friendly staff. However, the coffee was a bit too foamy for my taste. The foam also had a raw milk flavor that overpowered the coffee itself. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you specifically enjoy very large, foam-heavy drinks.
I recommend this place if you want a relaxing moment and good vibes. If you order your coffee to go, you can enjoy it right in front of the marina.
This was a nice, quiet cafe that embraces doggy visitors. I ordered a mocha, lavender tea and some pastries. Everyone was so pleasant and the atmosphere was relaxing. The croissant was a 6/10. Pretty dry. The chocolate covered strawberries, 4/10. Mocha, 9/10 and Lavendar…
This is a wonderful place with a great food and drinks. We loved everything there - the croissants, crepes, waffles, hot drinks, friendliness, coziness, some selection of books to read while enjoying your time there. Thankfully they are open late which is convenient. Beautiful…
