Nevada Joe Coffee on Main
1572 U.S. Hwy 395 N, South Lake Tahoe, CA
Crema's Take
“Nestled right on South Lake Tahoe's Main Street, this espresso-focused spot has mastered the art of balancing speed with quality, making it perfect for both morning commuters hitting the drive-thru and locals lingering over a cinnamon roll latte. Their signature creative drinks shine with thoughtful touches like generous sugar-free options and carefully calibrated sweetness levels, while their pastries—particularly the homemade cream cheese danish—elevate what could be a quick grab into something genuinely memorable. The consistently warm hospitality from the team makes them the kind of place where they'll remake your drink with a smile even when you arrive 30 minutes before closing.”

Cute little stop for a quick bite and coffee!!! The drinks had the just perfect amount of sweetness, and I loved that they had plenty of sugar free options (unlike others places that just have vanilla). The service is an extra bonus! Thank you 😊 will be back when I'm in the area next time... P.S. The bunny decorations were so beautiful! 🐥🐇
Got coffee at 6:45 AM on February 3, 2026. Coffee is good was made pretty quickly, including a bagel with cream cheese, which I have not tried,. I am leaving town today and unfortunately, 30 minutes down the road I was looking for my debit card. Then tracing my steps I realized the I used it at this coffee shop and did not receive it back on the clipboard. When I received the receipt to sign and tip the card was not on the clip board and I did not notice that. I usually pay with cash or Apple Pay being the reason, and also I am going on my third day of no sleep because I am on a long haul for business. Since I am leaving town today for business I hit the road. 30 minutes later I realize they have my card. So i have to drive back 30 minutes to pickup the card. Overall a simple lack of attention to detail costed me 1.5 hours on a 17 hour drive. Now a 18.5 hour drive. Please be attentive to peoples cards.
Super nice staff, very much appreciate their Speer and the cinnamon roll latte was made perfect and just the right of heat!
Legitimately some of the best coffee I’ve ever had. Customer service is really good too, I pulled in about 30 mins before they closed not realizing and they were really nice. They even remade my drink even though it was my fault I forgot to ask for it iced. Totally recommend.
This drive through coffee shop was so good! The homemade cream cheese danish was the best I've had from anywhere. They had a wide range of coffee options and flavors, the friendly staff answered all our questions, and we got our order in a timely manner.
