Crema's Take
“Nestled in South Lake Tahoe, this cozy neighborhood spot radiates genuine warmth with inspirational messages adorning the walls and a staff that genuinely seems happy to see you. Beyond solid, satisfying coffee, they're known for generous, craveable breakfast items—think handheld burritos bigger than your fist and creative dishes like huevos rancheros with brisket—that make it feel less like a grab-and-go caffeine stop and more like a reason to linger over your morning.”

Freel Perk Cafe was a great stop for us on the way back to San Francisco after a snowboarding trip. The place has a really nice atmosphere, and we loved the positive messages written on the walls, it makes the space feel warm and welcoming. I had a matcha latte, and it was one of the best I’ve had. I don’t like sweet matcha, and they were happy to make it unsweetened for me, it was perfect. A lovely café to stop by if you’re in the area. Great drinks and a great vibe!
Friendly staff. Amazing food. Delicious coffee. All the things you want. The Huevos Rancheros with brisket was incredible.
I had a hard time giving this place a good review because it wasn’t very clean. Not one table in the place was clean inside or out. And while the staff was quite friendly and our coffee was good enough this was kinda a turnoff. There were four young ladies working here but we observed them mostly standing around the counter yacking it up and never did see a table get cleared or wiped down. Great potential but they need to pay attention to the details…
I love everything about this place. First, all of the staff are so friendly. Their coffee is amazing. & I highly recommend their breakfast burritos - they are bigger than my hand and SO DELICIOUS. A close second is their bagel sandwiches - also amazing. I also love the atmosphere here, especially the patio in the summertime. I am a regular customer and love supporting this place. It’s the best coffee shop in the Lake Tahoe area by far!
Delicious and healthy gluten free breakfast bowl! Loved the fresh greens on top and the surprise of the purple root veggies on the bottom. The mocha latte was exactly what my heart needed for this cold weather 💕
