Keys Café
2279 Lake Tahoe Blvd #2, South Lake Tahoe, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked away in South Lake Tahoe, Keys Café is a genuine mom-and-pop spot where the sweet staff and cozy vibe make you feel instantly at home, whether you're settling in with a laptop or grabbing a quick bite before hitting the slopes. Their creative signature drinks like the iced Purple Haze (vanilla chai and lavender) pair beautifully with thoughtfully made breakfast items—think perfectly portioned burritos and açaí bowls—that locals and visitors alike return for again and again. It's the kind of place that welcomes dogs, feeds your wifi needs, and somehow makes a simple visit feel like discovering a hidden gem in the mountains.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly. Wifi.

Cute little mom and pop cafe! The staff are all super sweet and it’s such a cute little cozy place. I got the sausage bagel sandwich and it was so tasty! My friends got their coffee and breakfast burrito and loved it. Overall great little small business to support in the area!
Simply a fantastic cafe. Plenty of outlets if you need to plug in while you work. Very dog friendly. Great staff. All of the food and drinks I have tried have been great. Dog approved deluxe puppuccino
We had never been to Tahoe. Friends from Auburn treated us to a grand tour of the area. One of the best stops in two days was for brunch at the Keys Cafe. It is a little hard to find as it is off on a side street, but Google maps got us there. Although busy preparing drinks…
Stopped by for breakfast and this little shack didn’t disappoint! Breakfast burrito was perfect portion to split between two adults. The salsa was also so yummy. The açaí bowls were perfectly sweet and shareable! Coffee was a perfect pick me up! Fun games! Chalk board to write…
One of my go to favs when I’m in the area. Today I enjoyed an iced Purple Haze (vanilla chai & lavender) with an Avo Bagel. Perfect pairing! Light bite before jumping back on the freeway. The staff is always super friendly and the vibe is very Tahoe.
Keys Cafe was outstanding! We went there for an afternoon coffee but they also serve breakfast and lunch. They offer some unique coffee drinks; we had FlowerPower and Almond Joy lattes and they were delicious! The service was great and the ambiance is very cozy, we will be going…
