    We are visiting from Phoenix and staying in Gardnerville and looked forward to trying this place out. They have a very spacious inside area as well as outside seating. We ordered a pour over which is large enough for two people. The coffee cake was pretty good as well. It's a very nice location with clean restrooms and friendly staff. We enjoyed talking with Tate who did our pour over. We actually came back in the afternoon for a Turkish coffee, but the machine wasn't working properly so had another pour over. We'll see you next year on our travels.

    This place is a nice, cozy spot to sip, relax and chat. They have seasonal unique drinks they offer if you're feeling adventurous while also offering classics like a basic latte. I tried a vanilla, cinnamon and honey flavored coffee that was simple yet sweet.

    What a delightful place, music, decor, lots of seating arrangements... and outdoor seating too. And there are grilled cheese sandwiches (made to order) & other choices . Desserts, flavors too. Smiling servers, happy vibes. Two lattes, 1 grilled cheese sandwiches = $23, relaxed state of mind = priceless

    Pistachio! Don let the picture fool you the filling was silky smooth!

    We Stopped in for coffee and behold this big beautiful pistachio croissant that caught my eye! As did the Ube croix. They were a little on the pricier side, $10 a piece. Both were good but that pistachio croissant is worth every penny in my opinion! It is packed full of luscious pistachio cream! There was Not even room for air lol! It is very green but it adds to the whimsy presentation. The flavor was exactly what a pistachio lover dreams of! The Ube was good but definitely smaller for the same cost. I will be coming back! These special things should not be kept secret:)

    the service was great, drinks were exceptional but the food was outstanding. overall it is a very cute and very clean coffee shop. loved the aesthetic of the place, and loved that there was outdoor seating option. i was a little misinformed when looking at the online menu, i thought the velvet latte would have caffeine, hence "latte" but it turned out to just be milk and red velvet. however, that was my fault for not reading the menu close enough. i brought this up to the barista making the drinks and she was very kind and offered me some espresso to add to my drink for my misunderstanding which i really appreciated. before tip, my total came out to $45 for all 4 items.

    Great coffee spot! The lox bagel was one of the best I've had in a long time. Services was fast and very friendly. Great outdoor seating. Clean and stylish inside. Would come back again.

    Blind Dog Toast, was ok eggs were more medium/hard boiled then poached. But flavor wise it was good.

    Received a gift card and thought I'd try it. Got the Blind dog toast and a turmeric latte. The toast was ok I was really looking forward to having an actual poached egg with the runny yolk but it was almost hard boiled. And the turmeric latte was not good was very grainy could hardly swallow it. Usually I love turmeric lattes. I wanted it iced but the barista said she didn't know how to make it. So I got it warm and it was just the powder slightly mixed with milk. I understand being a new employee but please train your staff on how to properly make your menu items.

    Nice coffee. Good service. And my son enjoyed the little playground. Thanks to the playground he didn't run around like crazy. Very good for parents.

    This place is beautiful and clean! Our barista Janelle was amazing & great at explaining the coffees! We tried the following : 1) Drip Coffee--Tanners House Blend 10/10 - We loved this coffee! 2) Pour Over-Nevada Black- Bold & Not bitter! Smooth! 9.5/20 3) Coconut Stout Cold Brew (Summer Special) 10/10 My husband normally only drink black coffee & he loved this! We also had a blueberry muffin & it was fantastic! Not too sweet or heavy -it was very fresh!! I loved this place!!!! We are passing through and will be stopping back in our way home!!!! (Can't wait for Friday!)

    Easy, sit down, yummy coffee concoctions and top notch food. Met friends for an early lunch and the barista was friendly, food and coffee came out quick and we quite enjoyed ourselves. They have a small kids play area set up and free wifi. There are plenty of comfy seating options and it is a new favorite coffee reading nook for me. Will definitely be back!

I wanted some breakfast without having to go to an IHOP or Denny's. The place is TINY. Mostly 2-top tables and a handful of booths and bar seating. If you are seated at a regular table, expect to be friendly with the guests next to you. It's such tight quarters that you can't help but start having conversations with the people next to you. I got the pork chops with eggs and hash browns. You get 2 decent sized bone-in pork chops. They were well seasoned and juicy. Really good. My son got a pancake from the kid's menu that was shaped like a Mickey Mouse head. It was huge. I got a sausage patty to go with it. This was the only sub-par item as it was dry and lifeless. I feel like it was sitting on the flat top or under a heat lamp for hours. It wasn't worth eating. Other than that, the food we had over all was good. The service was OK. The morning we went, it seemed like there was only 1 server for the entire restaurant. She was taking orders,serving, AND bussing tables. So, the quality of service wasn't the best. She was rushed. Glad I was able to try a local spot.

Waitress were super helpful, kind and friendly. They were joking back and forth with us and in good spirits. Moe was very hospitable and joked right along with us. Another girl and I ordered a cold brew coffee, a couple other girls added that to their breakfast because it was so delicious and MASSIVE. All the portion sizes were also MASSIVE. I had the Traditional Eggs benedict. I have no complaints about the flavor, presentation or accompanying fruit cup. The sauce was the perfect portion for the meal and my food wasn't swimming in sauce. My one critique is that my eggs were a little too well done. I don't like my yolks completely runny, but these had absolutely no run to them. (see accompanying picture). If/when I go back, I'll definitely ask if that is standard and if so, to undercook them a bit so there's a little run to the yolk. Other than that minor detail this plaice is still 10/10. It's worth the drive out of Reno for this little gem tucked right off the main highway/street in Minden/Gardnerville.

We knew it wasn't going to be crowded and the food will be fresh, but it was so much more than that. Overland is lucky to employ Tennessee, who might just be the best server in the Carson Valley. I grant you that we haven't been to every restaurant and we haven't had every server and so it could be hyperbole to try to tell you that he's the best, but we need to be sure to let you know that he is clearly in the top percentile of quality, local servers. Why you ask. He anticipated our every need, and so we always had water, always had coffee, and he cleared every single time he got near the table. His positive energy is infectious. Yes, I can hear you now, what about the food? My wife can, on occasion, high maintenance, and this was one of those mornings. She ordered the Eggs Benedict without the bottom bread plus one more whole extra Eggs Benedict, and Tennessee didn't flinch. I ordered the vegetarian omelette and I had side breakfast potatoes. All of it tasted great. I even tried the hollandaise sauce on my wife's eggs Benedict and it tasted fresh and tasty. So, I say give Tennessee a raise, and when you go to the Overland, hope that you get seated in his section because it will be an experience that you won't forget soon, and the food is very good. Somehow, this breakfast restaurant is flying under the radar on Saturdays and Sundays. They truly deserve to be packed as they have the formula for success, great service, good food, and a clean environment..

The ambiance is classic, nice, yet rustic cabin like feeling. The menu looked good and our server informed us of the specials. I decided to get the salmon and the others decided on the steak special. We ordered some calamari to share as our dinners came with soup or salad and a side. They do offer a full cocktail bar and wine/beer menu. My guest opted for an old fashioned, which he said was one of the better tasting ones he's had. The calamari came out nice and hot. Tasting crispy and good, and tasted fresh. My salmon came out light and fresh, with amazing Brussel sprouts. My guests steaks came out perfectly cooked and flavourful. The service was impeccable and our server continued to check on our dining experience. All the staff were super friendly, which made for an amazing dinner. The price pint for a steakhouse was very reasonable and good quality. Plenty of parking is available in the front of the restaurant and easy to get to. Definitely a good experience and good food!

    Let's start with what I liked. First impression walking in, the restaurant is beautiful. Rustic,…read moremoody, clean, and gives off steakhouse vibes. We came kind of late, around 8:30pm and had a party of 8, and at first they said they could not seat us but then Paula (who I assume is the manager) was able to get us in at 9:00pm and she was so kind and personable! The table and chairs we sat at were nice and study and the dining area of the restaurant was just as nice as the entrance. Our server was friendly and attentive and our wait was reasonable. Now for the negatives. Unfortunately the food was not a hit for anyone in our party. My sister-in-law got the chicken pasta and gave it a 2.5/5, she aid the chicken was overcooked, the sauce was runny, and it wasn't very flavorful. I got the Brussel Sprouts and my husband and I give them a 3/5, they were soft but not crispy and the flavor was okay. The Mac & Cheese was a 2/5 on its own but much better when we added salt/pepper, it also had no flavor but the texture was perfect. My 3 kids all got a kids pizza and they all barely ate any so I'd give another 2/5, they said they remind them of the pizza they get at school. My husband's meat pizza was also a 2/5, the crust seemed like maybe it wasn't all the way cooked & he said it tasted like a frozen pizza. My nephew gives the kids grilled cheese a 3/5. And my brother said the chicken BLT was good and he gives it a 4/5 and said he would order it again. Lastly, I ordered a wedge salad but it never came, also after I brought it to my waitresses attention she forgot to take it off the bill, but she quickly fixed it at the end and again was very kind. Unfortunately we will not be going back even though we are staying at the resort next door. We just feel for the price we would like to try other places in Tahoe instead. But I think they are worth a try if you're at the resort.
