I have apparently been sleeping on Kingsbury Grade! Clyde's is a killer coffee find just off the…read morebeaten path near Stateline, NV. Stopping into Clyde's transports you to a cozy winter lodge, yet still offers a beautiful deck space for the warm Tahoe days. The staff was very kind, answering any questions we had, and drinks were served up quickly. The pastries here looked absolutely insane! It took everything I had to pass up on them- but next time, I have already decided I am getting the apple streusel. The drinks are a bit pricey here, but the portions are large. Most iced/blended drinks are around $7.50, but they are 16-oz servings. The Green Monkey (blended matcha, almond milk, and banana) was so creamy and sweet, and delicious. The smoothies are soft serve-based and offer a perfect sweetness level while still being fresh from the fruit and creamy like a milkshake. I also enjoyed a double shot to sample their espresso game- very tasty stuff. They have lots of merch for sale, including their coffee varieties, which I thought were priced well. I will be back to Clyde's Coffee Roasting. It may even be my new favorite South Lake Tahoe coffee house, even if it means I have to drive out of the way a few minutes. Support your local coffee spots!

Not a ton of area to park, but I imagine people make it work when it gets super busy. I ordered the Purple Haze iced latte which is a lavender latte. I got it with a little more lavender syrup than normal as I do like lavender lattes. It was really good, but I wish I didn't have them add the lavender topping. That was my mistake. That topping is not edible and is not good. I should have known better. My husband order the brown sugar and spice iced latte. He liked it. It was packed with spices, and not like anything we have ever had before. I also got a bag of beans to go. The baristas asked if I wanted the beans ground, which I appreciated, but declined. The 2 baristas were super friendly and gave a lot of good recommendations. We will be back next time we are in Tahoe.

I finally decided to stop in with my 5 y/o son. The outside decor and ambiance were adorable and the merchandise had fun designs. Unfortunately, the interaction with the owner completely changed the experience. He seemed irritated from the moment I ordered a hot chocolate for my son, correcting me in a rude and dismissive tone that it was "hot cocoa" and annoyedly asking how many I wanted. I said one and then asked if they had a menu so I could see what type of coffee they offered. That simple question also seemed to frustrate him and he dismissively responded, "It's just coffee," while shaking his head. His overall tone came across as arrogant, annoyed, and dismissive over normal questions, which made the interaction uncomfortable. I was shocked by the attitude, especially from a business owner. Maybe he was having a bad day, and I do see many positive reviews, but I also noticed other reviews mentioning similar experiences with the owner. It's disappointing because we were really looking forward to trying this place. I ended up saying never mind and leaving. My son didn't understand why we walked out without getting what we came for and I explained that I didn't want to support a business where customers are treated rudely. I truly hope the owner is doing okay and is able to treat customers more respectfully in the future because it seems like there's a great product behind the business. Unfortunately, I never got the chance to try it.

It kind of felt like we were in Hawaii but there's snow outside the window.. haha - lemonade w/ matcha foam was good! (Doesn't compare to the Bay buttt for Tahoe? It's solid!)

Bare Roots is a place I have driven by many times while in South Lake Tahoe. I really enjoyed…read morestopping in but I do think there are some slight improvements that could be made here. First, this is a coffee and Kava lounge. I don't know much about Kava, so I can only speak to the coffee. They do also have some food, but I am not sure how that works since there was only a single employee when we visited. Maybe only certain hours? Maybe it just takes some time? Not sure, we skipped food on this visit. We ordered one of their signature matcha drinks and a cold brew. The single employee was friendly and doing the best she could, but it got quite busy and I could tell she was struggling to keep up. The prices at the register were $0.25-$0.75 higher than what was listed on the menu board. Always a bit annoying... The matcha was good, the foam texture is very cool, however the cup was more ice than beverage. The cold brew was fine, nothing special but still tasty. I liked the vibes a lot when I walked in here. It's filled with plants and natural light, but then I looked around a bit more and the space just felt messy. There was stuff everywhere, boxes laying on the ground, and generally just a lot of clutter in the space. Overall, I think there are better coffee spots in South Lake Tahoe. If you're looking for Kava, give this place a go, but for coffee I would steer you somewhere else.

Staff (both times I have been) have been super friendly and helpful A couple things to note: No WiFi - which I appreciate Iced drinks are 16oz so adjust your shot preference accordingly (I personally like an iced americano which takes two shots for a 12oz. so I adjusted to 4 shots for the 16oz and it does not feel overwhelming) For hot drinks the sizing is 10oz Would definitely recommend and will be going again and again and again

It's most always been busy in that there are people coming and going, but I've always been able to find a chair to sit and chat with a friend, or meet a fellow writer to get some words down. Parking is a little tight, as it's in the heart of Downtown Carson, but I've never had to walk super far to make it here. If you're in Carson and looking for a good cup of coffee, definitely put this on your radar and get your caffeine here.

Unfortunately my visits are becoming less and less frequent because of the prices here. I wish they could get their pricing down a bit.

The espresso was extremely acidic and sour. I couldn't really drink it. I think it's under-extracted and the temp isn't hot enough. The shot is too voluminous and runny.

They offer seasonal and special drinks on the menu, many great options to choose from. Barista is friendly. Tried Raw coconut latte - only available in cold, it was delicious.

If I'm in the area again, I would return and try other drinks.
