Very unique coffee shop that I accidentally ran into, was looking for a quick coffee stop and saw this place was highly rated it on Google and on my way. I was surprised when I walked in to find that it's a bookstore, shop, a coffee shop and they also have quick snacks and desserts. I decided to stay for a little bit and I ordered a vegan sandwich, with kimchi and I added some avocado. Coffee is OK and sandwich was OK as well, staff is really nice and ambience was amazing super relaxing, and you could see people talking, socializing, I saw a group was knitting, and also a book reading group. Very unique and charming place.
Best matcha I've EVER had Cozy place to read and hang out at, great vibes. Clean & friendly staff.
A very cute and cozy cafe! We visited on the MLK holiday around 11:30 am, and while the line was really long, we decided to stick it out. I noticed quite a few people leaving due to the slow service, but we waited about 35 minutes to order and another 10 minutes for our drinks and pastries. Despite the wait, everything we ordered was delicious, and we enjoyed the experience. The cafe also offers a nice selection of books and random supplies for purchase, which made exploring the space even more enjoyable.
Review is purely for the coziness of the cafe only. Friends came for a caffeine and pastry run so I can't speak to their food/drinks. To be environmentally friendly, the cups are all paper which was cool to see. I will say this is the spot to come with a small group or to unwind as the cafe is sectioned off with plenty of cozy seating nooks surrounded by walls of books. Loved that there were books on loan to read with a purchase, as well as books for sale. There's even a paid co-working right next door so there's lots of options. Color me impressed lol.
Really good coffee quality. Staff are nicely and the place is really cute. The grilled cheese sandwich was also yum!
Cuppa Tahoe is a cute bookstore with a lot of things to look at! Books, toys, merchandise, souvenirs, pastries, breakfast foods, etc. Relaxing place to sit and read or work on your laptop, etc. Free Wi-fi. The parking lot is crowded because their are some popular restaurants in this strip mall.
this is the CUTEST coffee book shop ever!! Usually when I see places advertised as coffee shops with books, the book selection is pretty limited. But no, Cuppa Tahoe has it ALL. From books you can read for free while drinking your coffee, to new books for purchase. They even have a bunch of fun a little trinkets and stickers! Not only is the entire ambiance amazing, but the coffee is divine. I got a tiramisu latte and my husband got an iced vanilla latte. Both drinks were such hits!! We had the most wonderful time reading and drinking our coffees. To top it all off, the baristas were super friendly and easy to chat with!
My mom & I were camping in Emerald Bay State Park for two nights a couple weeks ago, and forgot to pack our coffee mugs. Classic. Searching around for a grocery store to buy disposable cups, I found Cuppa Tahoe and we didn't look back. We spent about an hour each morning here, sipping our delicious vanilla lattes and perusing their library of books. I discovered the Rubicon Trail in a Tahoe travel book & spent 6 hours on it in the same day. This is a great place for small gifts & tons of fantastic books. I bought a glittery sticker for my car, and all around could not have been happier. Needless to say Cuppa Tahoe truly & unexpectedly made our trip!
