This little spot is a great place to grab breakfast when you’re in South Lake Tahoe. There’s indoor and outdoor seating and it’s got a great “hometown” feel to it. The service is great as the servers are super friendly and get you in and out quickly without rushing you. We stopped here on our way back to the Bay Area but we’d be willing to drive out of our way to visit again. I ordered the traditional breakfast and my wife had the French toast. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals but had a tough time choosing as there were so many good options on the menu. Come here to get off the beaten path but don’t expect to escape the crowds as it is wildly popular with the locals.

Very close to 5 stars for my visit here. Count on there always being a wait because it is a popular place. It’s definitely worth it if you have the time! We waited 20 minutes the first day (we tried to go back another day but the wait was 35 minutes and we were too hungry and on a time crunch). The service is 5 stars. Everyone is very friendly and attentive. The food is really good! I asked for jalapeños on my dish and they were pickled not fresh therefore I didn’t eat any of them. Not for sure if they have fresh ones or not the guy who picked my plate up said, “Oh, you like fresh ones?” but didn’t say anything about them having fresh ones so I assumed they didn’t. Definitely worth checking out!

We stopped on our way to Tahoe on a whim and what a pleasant surprise when we found this gem. A little restaurant on the side of the road with great atmosphere, amazing food and the most unbelievable service I have ever received in a restaurant. We had to come back the next day and they are very pet friendly. The omelettes, French Toast and Chilaquiles were out of this world. Mimosas were tasty but once I tried their pancakes with banana and walnut I could simply find my way back to this place simply to eat here. If you find yourself going towards Tahoe do yourself a favor and stop here.

Excellent service and high quality food! The Banana Nut Pancakes were amazing, as were the home fries! The sausage gravy was a little over-salted, but the biscuit was great!

There’s a reason why it’s so popular! If there is a wait, it’s worth it. The food and drink are incredible with exceptional service to boot! Outdoor seating in the summer is so lovely. The mimosas are the best I’ve ever had and the Bloody Mary has bacon and pickle garnish! Eggs Benedict and biscuits and gravy?! Yes please. They have veg options too. Yum!

The food here was amazing and the customer service matched it. I had the huevos rancheros and the maple French toast and it was the best breakfast I’ve had my whole trip out there. Next time I’m going to south lake I will be stopping by at least twice.

Excellent! I had the deluxe eggs benedict. The homemade chorizo is the . They also have really good soups. A bunch of people were drinking bloody marys and varmosas. You should head that way right now! Andale!

Such a wonderful cafe! They got us seated earlier than expected, and were very nice! Diane is a sweetheart, and the food is truly “made with love.” We got 5 breakfast dishes and a salad — they were all tasty and great portion sizes! On top of a fantastic brunch experience, there is an additional bonus with the view from the lovely outdoor seating 🙂
