The Free Bird
2753 Lake Tahoe Blvd, South Lake Tahoe, CA
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.”

Jerseyredpill888888 on TT stopped in this little gem a couple times while passing through SLT...top notch service from the ladies at the wheel, perfect cup, got Me some REDCAB to go..month later in Florida would love a cab to take Me back for some more and catch a glimpse at the beauty behind the counter...Jersey out, love and light!!
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.
A superb local find with every cup made to order. Delicious pastries too! A perfect spot to hit up before you drive over to the Nevada side of heavenly as you drink, eat, and keep warm in your car as this is definitely a pick up your order and go type of spot.
Smallest coffee place I've ever been but, big in charm and personality. Everytime I come to So. Lake Tahoe I love to visit this place. Staff are welcoming, friendly and always make me feel good about being there. You can also enjoy a morning walk as you sip your coffee at the trail behind Free Bird. The dirty chai, extra spicy is fantastic!
