Crema's Take

Nestled in the mountains just behind Fifty-Fifty Brewing, Café Lupine has quickly become a beloved gathering spot with an exceptionally welcoming atmosphere and some of the most lauded pastries in the Truckee area—their pistachio pastry alone has inspired genuine devotion. While espresso quality seems to divide opinions (some find it flavorful and smooth, others detect over-roasted notes), the café excels as a Sunday morning destination where friendly staff and a relaxed vibe make it easy to settle in for a slow sit with coffee and light breakfast.

What to expect

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

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…
