Crema's Take

“Za's Lakefront trades specialty coffee for something better—direct lake views that make every meal feel like a celebration, paired with legitimately good pizza and fresh pasta that justify the detour to Tahoe City. The vibe is relaxed and family-friendly with attentive service, though you're really paying for the unbeatable waterfront setting and the ability to linger over food while watching the lake. Come hungry (portions skew generous), arrive early for parking, and treat this more as a scenic lakeside restaurant than a destination coffee shop.”

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Calamari was delish and a big portion. The pizza was a small size, but definitely good for two. We enjoyed both along with the view. The service was quite friendly as well.

If you’re in the north end in Tahoe city this is the perfect place to stop and get a beer. The pizza is great as for it a little crispy and they will nail it. Great patio raised up over the marina and amazing views looking south at the lake in the mountains. Food is killer,…

Location Location Location! What a beautiful lakeside restaurant with delicious food and great service. We absolutely enjoyed ourselves. If you drive here from South Lake Tahoe like I did -- be sure to ⛽️ GAS up first as gasoline in this town is well over a dollar higher!

Great atmosphere and our waitress was very attentive. Lots of folks here enjoying themselves. The pizza was great, and my burger was delicious. My wife had the smoked chicken pasta, but it was too smoky for her taste. They took back the plate and didn’t charge us for it.
