Drink Coffee Do Stuff
10115 Donner Pass Rd STE C, Truckee, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked in Truckee, this espresso-focused spot has earned serious devotion from locals and visitors alike, with regulars stopping by before and after mountain trips because the team genuinely cares about getting every shot right. The vegan croissants are a standout (especially warmed up), and while the matcha needs work, their traditional espresso drinks and pour overs are the real draw—plus the staff goes out of their way to make families feel welcome, from perfectly steamed oat milk hot chocolates for kids to thoughtful service all around.”

I recommend espresso from this place. They had vegan croissant which has extra treat. They heated it up. Was there with kiddos and had oat milk hot chocolate for them and espresso for me. Have been there twice, the hot chocolate was really nicely decorate, little hart on it, was very good. It was barrista made. The second time it was just poured to the cup, large foam bubbles, like anyone can do at home. The espresso was really good. It had good medium roast quality, flavorful, strong creama. The place has space to sit and good parking spots next to it. The service was fast and very polite.
We will stop by here before, after, sometimes both before we head out to the mountain. Each time we go we have a great experience. You can really tell they care about doing things right—our coffee was made perfectly. The steamed milk texture was smooth and balanced, not overheated or burnt, which made a big difference. We ordered three different drinks, and every one of us was completely satisfied. Consistent quality like this is what keeps people coming back. Highly recommend supporting this spot.
We came here every day of our visit for coffee. It's legit! Super friendly staff too.
i got a matcha latte and the lox bagel. i would definitely skip the matcha, it just tasted like milk. i even asked the barista if she actually recommended it because cafes tend to do a poor job at making them, but she assured me it would be good (it was not). lox bagel on the other hand was super tasty.
Cute little coffee shop. Staff was nice enough but it's all counter service. Atmosphere is a bit blah and white, and none of the chairs are really comfortable to sit and read and enjoy your coffee. Coffee was good.
