Crema's Take

“Tucked right next to the Red Hut in South Lake Tahoe, this intimate spot punches way above its weight with made-to-order espresso drinks and house-made syrups like lavender and rose that locals swear by. The baristas here are genuinely warm and accommodating—they'll remember your order and happily create something off-menu if you ask—making it the kind of place where you feel like a regular even on your first visit. It's the perfect cozy pit stop before heading over to Heavenly, with excellent pastries and a charm that belies its tiny footprint.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. Slow-sit spot. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

I LOVE IT! Service is great and quality of drinks and food it’s unreal! I live to come and get the Funguy latte (YES with cayenne) and the pesto bagel 🥯 (everything bagel was sooo good) and very important (as a traveller) that they also have wifi :)

High quality food, fast service, friendly quaint vibes, I HIGHLY recommend stopping by, you will not be disappointed. Coffee was delicious, and the pesto mozzarella bagel was probably the best bagel food I’ve ever had. 10/10

The girls that work here are absolutely amazing! They are friendly and the service is fast. They went out of their way to make me a drink that wasn't even on their menu, and she remembered me every time I went in.

They were SO nice! House-made Lavender & Rose syrups go so hard. Cute little coffee shop right next to the red hut if you want breakfast too. Barista’s were wonderfully friendly, would 1000% recommend going here for coffee or light breakfast.
