Crest Cafe & Catering

We ordered soup of the day, sandwich and drinks. Everything was delicious and made to perfection. I also enjoyed their ginger brew hot. Exactly what I needed on a cold day. On top of everything - a spectacular view on the river. The service was quick and efficient.

Delicious sandwiches and wraps. We had tri-tip & mango wraps, and grilled cheese on sourdough sandwich,, with sides of pasta salad and Thai cucumber salad. All tasty!! Bonus is fantastic friendly staff, riverside patio, and simple clean indoor space. Worth a stop along beautiful Hwy 89 near Truckee & Olympic Valley! Cross the bridge over the river and you’re there!

tl;dr: thoughtful service and standout food in a relaxed setting. Found this local spot and the warmth hits you right when you walk in. The staff here clearly takes pride in their work. The food speaks for itself: amazing dishes that showcase fresh ingredients and careful technique. What impressed me most was how they've created such a comfortable space while maintaining high standards. Definitely worth adding to your regular rotation.

Friends took me to this place after sightseeing and riding the Tram at Palisades Tahoe and I wasn't disappointed. We all ordered different things and mine was a simple pizza. We all shared a taste of each other's order and everything tasted great. If you're in the area and looking for something simple, quick, good and reasonably priced, this is a good choice. And on a pleasant day, the outside patio seating can't be beat with the Truckee River flowing by.

We started out at this little place on the way to our hike. I did the salmon and cream cheese bagel, he had a Belgian waffle and a breakfast burrito. You’d think the bagel would be hard to make wrong, you’d be surprised. This place did a wonderful job though! I was pleasantly surprised that the bagel was toasted perfectly and not overly hard when I bit into it, nor did it flake all over the place so it was obvious fresh. The salmon was great, good Smokey flavor, but not over the top. He rated his burrito at 6/5. It has mushrooms, zucchini, onions, and comes with a lot of other options such as meat options(he went with sausage and bacon). You can sit alongside the river and it’s extremely peaceful and quiet. Nice little place right along 89.
