    Lemon ricotta cake
    Mona F.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Cafe lupine is Amazing! They have been my go to for about a year now. I have ordered many treats off the menu and they have all been winners! There is something for everyone. The coffee is so good and the atmosphere is cozy and well curated. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming!

    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!

    Lovely interior with a lot of seating

    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.

    Yeah, cute a little café that makes the best lemon ricotta tart. It has a seating outside and there is a dog that will come and say hi to you. The owner is really nice and she is very friendly and her son makes her lemon ricotta. Definitely recommend to try the lemon ricotta.

Since I'm not normally a coffee drinker, the staff recommended a non-dairy matcha latte for me so that I could mask the caffeine flavors just a bit.

Definitely a popular spot as every seat was filled when we arrived! Very limited food menu--they only offer two breakfast options. Breakfast burrito (rice, black beans, cheese, and chorizo) which can be ordered with or without chorizo but no other modifications since they're all pre made. Also had a breakfast sandwich option as well. I personally wasn't a fan of the breakfast burrito but my boyfriend really enjoyed his. The rice and beans were 90% of the burrito with very tiny bits of chorizo here and there so it just didn't feel like breakfast to me and I didn't finish mine. Everyone has different tastes though so if you enjoy bean and rice burritos I'm sure you would like this!

We came in with a large group of 18 and the team handled it smoothly. Food came out quickly, which was impressive for such a big party. The appetizer meatballs were delicious, and I had the veggie burger with chimichurri aioli which was also really good, it tasted like a handmade veggie patty, not one of those overly processed Impossible-style burgers One small note from our table: the veggies (asparagus + broccoli) were almost too salty to eat. Just a little tweak there and they'd be perfect. Overall a great experience and we're excited to have this spot in town!

The food came out (not from our waitress) it, tasted decent, but $16 for a kids meal is outrageous (especially when it doesn't come with a drink ) We never saw our waitress again after she dropped off the beer menu until she asked if we wanted the check, then she TOLD me the price and held the iPhone up for me to pay--like, no paper check at all to review and you aren't even gonna let me hold the iPhone to pay with privacy? Because the tip will reflect the service... They also stated on the menu that they charged $ .50 for any ' sauce' requests...which is so weird considering that none of the meals were cheap. Not sure if they followed through with this because I couldn't actually view my check. Super disappointed in the experience overall, there seems to be a lot of places in the area to eat, I'd reconsider coming to this one.

I finally had some some time while in the area and made sure to visit. I was not prepared for the sheer volume of GF items! It is not the largest bakery, but that doesn't matter when the variety of pastries and sweets are as high caliber as this! I had some questions about items, and the staff was super friendly and answered them for me. I had the hardest time deciding what to get. I had to go with something simple and comforting. I chose the pull apart cinnamon roll. It was everything I dreamed that it would be. Soft, fluffy, cinnamony, and coated with cream cheese frosting. Paired with a vanilla latte, it was the absolute highlight of my week. There are some indoor low tables and high top tables if you would like to sit inside. A couple of tables outside are available as well. I've had a favorite coffee shop in Truckee already, but I think this one will be my new recommendation.
