Cafe Zenon
251 N Lake Blvd, Tahoe City, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked away at a local golf course, Cafe Zenon is a hidden gem that punches way above its unassuming location with hand-crafted cocktails (their tiki drinks are particularly stellar), house-made syrups and fresh-squeezed juices, plus inventive food that surprises visitors with its creativity and flavor. The all-day breakfast burritos and diverse menu options—from chicken pho to veggie bowls—keep both golfers and non-golfers coming back, all served by a genuinely warm owner and staff who make you feel like a local from the moment you arrive. It's the perfect serene escape if you're looking to dodge Tahoe's summer crowds while enjoying something special.”

Amazing hand crafted ingredients make for really, really yummy cocktails - especially the Tiki drinks! And the food? Wow - crazy flavor and ingenuity. Totally unexpected for this unassuming golf course/skate rink place, but made it very hard to leave 😉 A real hidden gem 🍍
Amazing bar, creative recipes, fresh juices and homemade syrups...Great food...super friendly owner and staff. All at a local muni golf course. Such a cool spot. Bring your friends and ask to "Take the whole band out"
I don’t play golf but wow this is a great little bar and restaurant. Lovely serene view, fresh squeezed juices (for amazing cocktails) and fresh food. The all day Breakfast burrito is delish. A great respite from the buzz of the main drag.
Local beers, super friendly and attentive service, banging music, and a good mix of food options for veggies and non, alike! Loved the chicken pho, grilled cheese and veggie protein bowl. Great prices too.
This place is a great option for breakfast during the summer, especially if you want to escape the crowds. It's tucked away out of sight and had absolutely no wait on a Friday. It has a rustic, modern-hip decor, great drinks, GOOD coffee (stumptown French press - better than anything else in town), and a great menu. Service was excellent. Can't recommend this place enough. Just do it.
