Short version: The coffee is smooth and delicious…read more Longer version: I bravely tried the Pines Latte. When in Tahoe, right? It was...unique. It has rosemary, sage and thyme syrup. My daughter took a sip, made a face, and said it tastes like licking a pine tree. :) It was a fun out-of-the-ordinary experience, but nothing I'd add to my regular rotation. Next time I'll be boring and order my regular:a vanilla latte. I'll definitely stop in again.

I went to this coffee shop for the first time this morning with a few friends, and unfortunately…read morethe entire experience left all of us extremely put off. From the moment I ordered, the barista was blunt, unfriendly, and gave very little eye contact. I ordered an iced Americano with a splash of nonfat milk, and his only response was, "2%?" I had to ask if he meant that was the only option before he clarified. No apology or explanation, just minimal communication. He also never asked for my name. After hearing another customer's name called, I asked a different barista how I would know when my drink was ready. While she was answering me perfectly fine, he called over from about five feet away, "Well, we're going to call out your exact drink order. Your drink's not ready." I wasn't asking why my drink wasn't ready. I was asking how I would know which was mine. His response was rude and condescending, especially when his lack of communication created the confusion in the first place. My friend then ordered an iced chai and was given a hot one. He made the excuse that he had ridden a motorcycle for an hour and was having trouble hearing. That made very little sense considering he had just heard and inserted himself into my conversation from five feet away, yet apparently couldn't hear my friend standing directly in front of him. If his hearing was genuinely that impaired, taking customer orders and then using it as an excuse for getting them wrong was extremely frustrating. Our drinks were also subpar, service was slow, and the entire experience felt disorganized and poorly managed. Everyone has bad days, but if that was the issue, he probably should have stayed home or worked making drinks rather than taking orders in such a customer-facing position. Otherwise, he may be better suited stocking shelves overnight at Walmart where customer interaction isn't part of the job. We all left genuinely disappointed and with no desire to return.

Staff was friendly and let us know what her recommendations were. The apple danish was delightful (definitely get it heated), the lemon raspberry cupcake was good (had plenty of frosting and raspberry filling inside), but our favorites were the lemon bar (one of the best I've had, didn't have any weird aftertaste and was the perfect balance of tart and sweet), and their oatmeal raisin cookie (classic and so good). They were sold out of cinnamon rolls by the time we got there so I'm looking forward to trying that one day and their cakes also looked amazing!

I especially liked the variety they offer, there's a little something for everyone, whether you're in the mood for something sweet or just a drink to go. The customer service was great and made the visit even better. They also have tables where you can sit and hang out, which is nice if you want to relax for a bit instead of rushing out. Definitely a solid spot to stop by.

Hit the spot for morning grabs…read more Had a cheddar jalapeño bagel and I'm already thinking about when I can have my next one. Was delicious and crunchy and made fresh daily. They split and provide the cream cheese, but $7 is a little spicy for something you can get at the market for less than a buck. The almond croissants were... just ok. I didn't like the filling bc it felt very intense almond flavor, which I like, but almost tasted fake. I also didn't love how dense they were. I like a fluffy croissant. The Americano was and I also can't wait to have another. Unlike what others posted previously, I didn't see Starbucks coffee. It's a local roast in Tahoe. They serve it as drip and in speciality drinks. Perfect stop and go location for drinks, salads, sandwiches, flatbreads, quesadillas, snacks, ice cream... Can't miss it.

We found the space inside to be nice and cozy. They also have an outdoor seating area in the front as well as the back. The service was exceptionally friendly. I heard mixed things about the breakfast burritos, so I stayed away from my usual bacon. Instead, I did the brisket burrito. Eggs, brisket, tater tots, and cheddar cheese in a stretchy steamed tortilla. They have cholula packets but no homemade salsa. I found the burrito much better than I was expecting. It's a bit heavy handed on the eggs, but I prefer it that way. To me it was pretty close to a perfect ratio of eggs, meat, and potato. The brisket was a tad chewy but I didn't mind that, I found it overall flavorful and not too hard to eat. As said above, the tortilla is steamed but not toasted. I personally prefer my breakfast burritos this way as well. And it was a great size too. On the expensive side, but we're in Tahoe so... I enjoyed my iced decaf americano, a drink many would usually find unenjoyable. Their decaf coffee was actually really good (and the staff reassured me of that too). I will knock it down to 4 stars because my wife said her vanilla latte was just okay. Come for the coffee, stay for the burrito. We will be back if this is a convenient stop for us in Tahoe, but won't go out of our way for it. However, if it's close it's definitely worth a try.

The views are beautiful.

Expect warm hospitality and welcoming environment. If you're looking for thoughtful food prepared by people who care about what they do, Fumo is the place. The menu offers a vibrant selection of cuisine executed with passion and skill. We ate here twice during our stay and frankly we wish we had all of our meals at Fumo while lakeside. The steak and eggs were executed perfectly. The lobster roll was classic and gorgeous. The shrimp tacos were so good we ordered a second plate. Point being, when you are vacationing in Incline Village Fumo is your best choice for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Overall decent spot in Tahoe. Service was fine, kind,…read morerespectful, quick to check in. Menu is limited but as expected in a ski town. I ordered the night for one special or something similar. Came with crab cake appetizer (1 crab cake) Chilean sea bass ( with quinoa and broccolini) and crème brûlée. The quinoa had no seasoning and was very dry. Had to douse with lemon to make edible. The broccolini was decent again with lemon and the bass was fine.. nothing special. For 60$ I was hoping for more flavor overall. Daughter got the clam chowder. Which was really good. Wife and son got pasta. Wife got the shrimp pasta son got the butter and noodles. We ended up mixing the 2 together and was decent. Dessert we got the strawberry butter cake, crème brûlée (came with my meal), and lava cake. Dessert was definitely the highlight of the meal. Definitely recommend the butter cake! For a 200$ dinner overall was disappointed. Service was fine. Ambiance was nice- decor was nicely done. Just don't think the food was worth the price personally.

Let me tell ya... that's the perfect combo for a hot Tahoe day. The ice cream was creamy, flavorful, and loaded with chocolate chips. The banana flavor was spot on. Everyone in my group really enjoyed their ice cream, and we all determined we will certainly visit again! If you're looking for a great ice cream spot in Incline Village, Susie Scoops is your place.
