Three Pines quickly became our go-to breakfast spot — we went every single day! We were on a mission to try all of their waffles, and they did not disappoint. They’re unbelievably soft (you don’t even need a knife) and, best of all, made with real, healthy ingredients that make you feel good about indulging. The pecan caramel latte was absolutely incredible and the perfect pairing for breakfast. The staff is super friendly and genuinely kind, which made each visit even better. Add in the cozy decoration filled with plants and a great view, and it’s the kind of place you never want to rush out of. Highly recommend for breakfast or a relaxed morning coffee.

We stayed in South Lake Tahoe for three days and yes, we came back here every single day. The best coffee I had in awhile! I usually don’t like sweet coffee but their homade syrups and spices they use were just perfect! Turkish delight was my favorite, but everything I tried was great.

I love the design of the coffee shop. The menu is great too. Just some details are missing. Empanadas are not warmed enough. It was cold inside. I asked for matcha to be unsweetened but it was sweet. It is not first time something like that happened.

A-ma-zing! Stopped here on our way home. Wishing we came earlier. But We’ll be back. We each got the Turkish delight latte. It was delish. We grabbed 2 soyrizo empanadas to go. They look amazing but haven’t had them yet. I got the byob with a rice quinoa mix and so many delicious toppings. My husband got the vegan sausage sandwich which was very good. They put it on a pita which was quite messy but delicious. It’s a go to spot for vegans and meat eaters.

The food is mid, atmosphere is perfectly basic white girl, service is equivalent to a McDonalds self order kiosk with the person making your drink shouting your name and you walk up to the counter to pick it up. Only reason service is 3/5 is because the guy did bring the food to the table. Paid $8 for coffee the size of my palm. Nothing special about it for that price. Waffle was good. Empanada lacked flavor, the salsa they put on the side saved it. Matcha was great. But for the price, I’d rather buy a smooth rock.
