An authentic , classic mountain breakfast spot will fuel you in for the day full of Tahoe adventures. Lots of space but it's a popular place, so get ready to wait. No time? Grab a seat at the bar

Everything!! I've been looking for the perfect breakfast and found it here. Also lunch . They close at 3 pm. We have a a late-ish vacation breakfast and the a late lunch and no need for dinner . Fab!!!!

Glenn Bray

Great Eggs Benedict, with house made sauce. Comes in half portions, so you aren’t too full for your hike . Loved the classic playlist on the deck. Dining among towering pines, great vibes, great food.

Eric

It's a weird thing to praise, but the side of kielbasa on the breakfast menu is a thing of beauty. Split open, charred to perfection. The oatmeal 's and silver-dollar pancakes are pretty good too.

MaríaMaría Valtierra

Had a great lunch here. I ordered the turkey pesto sandwich , it was fresh, delicious & the right size. People here was super kind and the place is nice.

Risa

Go with any of the Benedict dishes for brunch . The hollandaise sauce is top notch with a silky texture and zesty tang that balances it perfectly.

Ava Goldman

Huge pancakes , amazing food. Don't come if you're in a rush, there's always a wait. I'm bothered that they have packages of Smucker's jelly on tables instead of making their own.

Rachel Fang

The west shore special was a massive meal (huge bubble and squeak) and the waffle , though thin was pretty good too. I was expecting fluffy crispness.

Love this place. The staff is so friendly and helpful except for the older woman that usually runs the Annex. To be in such a beautiful place it is a shame she is so grumpy and rude.

Grace Weber

Blueberry muffins are amazing, plus the bacon is really good, and they have an amazing selections of omelette . I come here every time im in tahoe !!!

Brian Strauss

Best breakfast place in Tahoe . Period. Buckwheat pancakes , veggie potatoes , and the homemade sausage are standouts.

Josh Reeder-Esparza

Great food at a great price, they make the majority of their condiments and accoutrements in house. Try the salsa !

Marissa Solomon

Egg scrambles are amazing and service was great. Worth the wait if you're headed to Squaw

The wait on weekends can be over an hour. Send someone from your group down early to put their name in and they can hang out in the annex and have a coffee .

Kristina Barko

A bee landed on my food and it disgusted me and they wouldn't take it off my bill (or even one of my drinks). Food seemed good before I had insects crawling all over it. Waitress also forgot my bacon .
