Crema's Take
“This is a cookie-focused café in Heavenly Village where quality is inconsistent and inventory management is spotty—reviewers regularly report stale or burned cookies, empty cases near closing, and a staff that doesn't seem particularly invested in the experience. The prices are steep (cookie cakes run $50+), and while a handful of visitors praise soft, chewy cookies and ice cream sandwiches, the 3.9 rating reflects too many disappointed customers to recommend it as anything more than a last-resort sugar stop when hiking Tahoe. You'll find better cookies and friendlier service elsewhere.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Stale and hard cookies, tasted old. Minimal ice cream selections. Horrible. Go somewhere else. Also, employees seemed to hate their life. I hated my life also after eating these cookies.

We were in South Lake Tahoe for Christmas and I ordered a large cookie cake for my son’s birthday while we were there. The good news is that it looked good which made the $54 cost a little easier to swallow. The bad news is that it was totally underbaked and had a paper lining…
Such a perfect way to enjoy delicious dessert!! Mini chocolate chip cookies are so soft and the mini sneaker doodles are so soft..also the ice cream sandwich was so yummy,My husband enjoyed the rocky road ice cream..
Very good cookies, staff are all wearing masks, social distancing is practiced. Mildly expensive but worth it for a nice treat after a long day at tahoe. Update on 5/6/21- wanted to add a pic of my cookie sandwhich 🤤
