Very tasty coffee and good customer service, Angel the Barista was very friendly and he explained to us about the coffee that served us!

Great coffee, pastries and we both got the breakfast burritos which were delicious! And excellent customer service as well! What a gem to walk into! Really nice and quaint inside, and the outdoor patio is really nice with a view of the golf course. read more

Nice little cafe in Truckee with a beautiful view of the golf course and spacious patio. We stopped in for some light lunch on a Saturday. A few people on the patio, but otherwise fairly slow. I was pleasantly surprised by their pastry selection. Many great choices! We settled on the Thai chicken wrap, an iced coffee, some yuzu beignets, and a yogurt parfait. The service was iffy. The people were nice, but the gentleman taking our order had to clarify my wife's drink twice, even though it was a quite simple order of iced coffee with cream. It seemed like maybe he wasn't really listening. For close to $15, I was expecting the Thai chicken wrap to be a decent portion filled with protein. I was a bit disappointed to have mostly tortilla and lettuce. The flavor was good, but not such a great portion. The beignets were great, can't be beat. Perfectly tart from the yuzu inside. The yogurt parfait was well-priced, and I felt the portion was good. Overall, a cute place to grab coffee and pastries, but I would probably avoid their lunch food in the future. We enjoyed the patio space, and I felt the vibes were good. Cheers! read more

I went here 2 days in a row while I was in Truckee and both days had a great experience! Their lattes are so good! I ordered a caramel iced latte both days and was one of the best coffees I had while in the area. They also had delicious baked goods. I had the blueberry scone and the strawberry poptart, both were absolutely delicious! My husband had a breakfast burrito and he said it was delicious as well! We would highly recommend this spot for your morning coffee and breakfast if you are in the area! read more

Food is delicious and the spritz drink specials are very refreshing. Lots of options to choose from. The outdoor seating on the golf course is nice and peaceful. Quick service and friendly staff. read more

Made a quick stop to this cute cafe and got some food to go. Their burritos are premade, but whatever they use to reheat made it thoroughly and perfectly hot. So satisfying in the snowy weather. Staff was friendly and very helpful! Also, restrooms are kept very clean. Parking seems plentiful, especially since it's not downtown, you're not fighting for parking. Highly recommend! read more

Excited to have a new option in Truckee! What i loved most about Cafe Lupine was the seating, both inside and outside. It overlooks the golf course with a barrier of trees and flowers that is surprisingly peaceful. Beautiful furniture too. I thought the employees were friendly and competent, despite what the other reviews said. Docked one star for the coffee and cake. I got a latte and the lemon ricotta cake. Coffee was just ok - but I am quite picky and there are ample incredible coffee choices in the area - tough competition. The cake was so tasty but not quite enough to come back for. I would come back to try their other pastries and food items, and for the ambience to read or work or meet a friend. read more

Dawn & Orla, mother daughter duo, are a large part of the reason their café is so fantastic. Delicious cold foam iced coffee, with the cold foam made right on the spot in front of you. Known for their breakfast burritos, other homemade baked goods, and even baked goods imported directly from Europe and baked in house! Not to mention, one of a kind of back patio that no other café has in the area and a beautifully designed inner layout with WiFi. read more

Stopped here on our way out of Tahoe on vacation and I can't say we were impressed. The place itself is really cute. It has a nice patio area and ample seating. The problems arose when it came to the service and drinks. The two guys working there were very slow. My family came in twice, maybe 30 minutes apart from each other, and both times they were excruciatingly slow. The second time they forgot to get us our food. Stop #1 we ordered two drinks plus a banana bread and probably waited ten minutes or more for them. Got the summer specials (orange cardamom and huckleberry rosemary matcha) and they were bland. Stop #2 we got food as well as another drink. We got the huckleberry rosemary spritz hoping it would be better than its matcha counterpart. It's pretty lightly flavored, which I don't hate, but it's a pretty basic, average drink. Nothing exceptional. We got the carnitas burrito, which was very good. Also got the banana bread, which was moist and delicious. Lastly, we got the yuzu beignet, which I wouldn't even qualify as being a beignet. A beignet should be light and airy fried dough--these were more like donut holes filled with yuzu jelly and covered in powdered sugar. They were $1.50 so, for that price I feel like they were fine. However, on stop #2, they seemed to forget we ever ordered food because we watched the entire line order and get served and our food was nowhere to be found. When we went up to ask them if they were making it they said they'd "check". Not sure what there was to check because all the food was pre-prepped. All they needed to do was heat up a burrito and some banana bread. They also never apologized for forgetting our order. Besides that, the guys working there were nice and pretty helpful. I don't want to be too hard on them because these guys were probably high school to college aged and it looked like they were definitely understaffed considering how busy the place was. The line was consistently to the door. Maybe the owners should hire some more people to help so the service is quicker instead of running the place with as few people as possible. We were also disappointed because at a lot of coffee shops or places that offer matcha they have puréed fruit for their drinks. We were expecting huckleberry purée in our matcha, but it was a rather artificial tasting syrup. It had so little flavor we had to ask for more syrup. For the price of the stuff there, we just were expecting more and we were pretty disappointed. The matcha also was just not very good. Cheap matcha is usually never good. Either buy the ceremonial grade from Japan or don't offer it. I don't mean to be a big complainer, but as someone from Florida coming to California, I expected our experience to be at least marginally better. The coffee and matcha I've had in Florida has been 10x better. Our experience there was just really not worth the hefty price tag that came with it. read more

We have breakfast or brunch here every time we are in Truckee. We love their coffee and we always grab a bag of coffee beans to go. My husband loves their breakfast burritos, I'm a frittata fan. And I love their pastries. Always fresh and European style pies and pastries. Love the home-like atmosphere and the plates are so cute. The staff is always very welcoming and friendly. read more

Cafe Lupin is a gem of a coffee spot near Truckee--maybe even in Truckee. The baked goods are tempting, especially the Nutella-stuffed croissants, but I went for the lemon ricotta cake, which was absolutely delicious. My iced Americano, topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon, was just as good. The cafe itself is stylish and inviting, with a warm seating area that looks out over a golf course. It's the kind of place you could easily settle into for a while. read more

This place is SO GOOD!!!! We got the KIMBAP, carnitas and gravy breakfast burrito. All amazing. KIMBAP one has authentic kimchi. Chicken pot pie also 10/10. The ube latte was okay, nothing like the LA ones, I think you can skip on it. Banana bread was 10/10. Super moist and sweet. read more

Cafe Lupine is just what this corner of town needed! Not only does cafe have the cutest and coziest vibes the coffee (which is roasted in house!) is amazing and the pastries are made daily! I had a mocha and a crème brûlée donut and was trying to resist going back the next day to repeat the order! I mean the brûléed the sugar on top, it was divine! The owners are truckee locals and the kindest people. They have an amazing staff who really cares about what they do! They also just added a beer and wine selection for the weekends as a great edition and I look forward to a glass of wine on their patio watching the golfers! If you are in need of caffeine or a fresh pastry I highly recommend cafe lupine! read more

Great location and superb ambiance. People were gracious and fun. Pasteries are awesome -- I am addicted to their blueberry tart. Seating was comfy, and the patio area overlooking the golf course was a nice surprise find. Coffee is a bit bitter (over-roasted) for my taste, but I have since shifted to a latte. I def would go back again. read more

We noted a soft opening this weekend of Cafe Lupine, conveniently located in The Rock commercial complex in Truckee. The setting of the new place overlooks the Ponderosa Golf Course and is warm and homey inside. It looks like there is also outdoor seating during the warmer season. We stopped in this morning on the way to skiing and were welcomed warmly by the staff. I ordered a mocha and a parmesan leek croissant. Both were excellent and reasonably priced by Truckee standards. There's other coffee to be found in Truckee but Cafe Lupine has plentiful easy parking in the morning hours, has a staff that is actually friendly and has an inviting setting that makes you want to hang around. They are also convenient located near the bike path along Brockway Road. The owners dog is super cute and friendly (he was outside). We hope this new business is successful and around for a long time. read more

Café Lupine is a fantastic new coffee/breakfast hidden gem that just opened up in Truckee. Tucked just behind Fifty-Fifty Brewing and right on the edge of the Ponderosa Golf Club, this cozy café has all the makings of a new local favorite. Our group of 4 stopped in around 7pm to check out their wine, beer, and cheese offerings. Peter (The owner) made us feel so welcomed, and with four beers on tap, a solid selection of bottled wines, and a few ciders, there was something for everyone. The cheese board was a highlight! Multiple delicious varieties which paired perfectly with the beautiful golf course views. We enjoyed it so much that we came back the next morning for breakfast. The pastries were fresh and flavorful, and the breakfast burrito was a delicious way to start the day! If you're in the area around breakfast time or want an under the radar wine/cheese night look so further! Café Lupine is well worth a visit. read more

Food is great. The service was nice, but slow. Location is great! I'll visit again. Try the Pasties.

The food and treats here are delicious! The first time I was in service was not super organized or fast, but it's truckee, so that isn't something I stressed out about. The next time I came in music was blasting and no one was behind the counter because the only employee was hanging out at the table with their friends. I spent $8 on a chai after tip. Wasn't spoken to again, even as the chai was set down in front of me, not that I could have heard someone speaking over the music. I got to my truck and it was lukewarm at best. I will be back next time I just want a snack but not a drink. And won't walk in the door if I can hear the music from my truck. read more

Superb coffee! I had the Americano here and it was just what I needed--smooth, rich, and full of flavor without any bitterness. It had that perfect balance of bold and easy to drink. Honestly one of the best Americanos I've had in a while. The coffee shop itself is warm and inviting with a lovely outdoor patio overlooking a green golf course. They offer a selection of pastries and breakfast burritos. Wraps, pies on the menu too. Beer on tap! Very kind and patient barrista serving at the counter. What a beautiful hidden gem! read more

Great drinks and pastries. We were traveling through here and glad we stopped here. Friendly staff and quiet atmosphere

Huge selection of pastries, wraps, burritos, and other goodies. Service was quick and efficient. Nice relaxing atmosphere.

Cute bakery/cafe with a number of treats, seating and friendly staff. Went twice this weekend already, will definitely return again

Cafe Lupine is ADORABLE! 10/10 for ambience. It has beautiful, cozy seating inside, and peaceful views of the golf course outside (and lots of cute dogs). The frittata was a little dry, but I hear the breakfast burritos are good, so I will try that next time. The espresso seemed a bit weak in my cappuccino, but perhaps that could be fixed by adding another shot. Overall, this is a beautiful cafe and I'd like to try more on the menu. read more

Very cute inside. Friendly service. Delicious drinks and pastries. Loved the yuzu beignet and the bergamot cream.

Afternoon lattes were 10/10, the strawberry poptart was unreal, and the yuzu beignet was lights out. The staff was so friendly and the place is super vibey. Must check this new spot out, we will be regulars now! read more

Tried again after going when they first openned. Latte great! More offerings for sweets which is great! Super comforting and inviting interior. Service was friendly and timely. read more

Omg this place is so cute!!! The drinks and pastries are absolutely delicious--seriously some of the best I've had in Truckee. The vibe is cozy and adorable, and I can already see this becoming a favorite spot for both locals and visitors. If I could add one small thing, it would be to bring a little more energy and enthusiasm when greeting guests--it makes such a difference and would take the experience from great to unforgettable. I'd also love to see coconut milk as an option for drinks! That said, everything else was wonderful, and I'm rooting for this place to thrive. Definitely recommend checking it out--you won't be disappointed! read more

Cafe Lupine ....by far the best addition to Truckee in a long time! I am not a coffee shop guy but I LOVE a great coffee and Peter and Dawn brew the best I have had in years! Not only do they roast their amazing coffee onsite but also make their own amazing breakfast burritos. I was chatting with Peter yesterday he mentioned they will soon be bringing a piano to the patio as well as adding beer and wine to the menu. This is going to be the new "spot" in Truckee! I highly recommend we all patronize long time locals and their new business adventure....Cafe Lupine! Welcome back Peter and Dawn! read more
