Crema's Take
“The pastries here are legitimately exceptional—multiple reviewers called them the best in the Truckee area, with the pistachio variety earning specific devotion—and the espresso is strong and smooth enough to back up the specialty coffee claim (despite one dissenting voice). The setting beside Ponderosa Golf Club with mountain views is genuinely stunning, but the real draw is how the staff manages the weekend rush without sacrificing quality or warmth. If you're in Truckee and want coffee and pastries that justify a dedicated trip, this is the place.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Very cute coffee shop, the cutest in Truckee area. Pastries were the best we had (and we tried all nearby cafes throughout the years). Espresso was nice and strong, very flavorful and smooth. If you like strong coffee I recommend quad shot drinks, my ice melted and coffee was…
This is a little gem in the mountains! The food and coffee were delicious and the people working here are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere on a Sunday morning is relaxing.
I want to move here (all the way across the country) just so I can come to this coffee shop every day. The pastries are some of the best I've ever had. I have been dreaming about the pistachio pastry I had on my first stop here two weeks ago so I needed to stop again before…
