Always on the hunt for delicious baked goods, we stopped in here to a delightful Mexican bakery and…read morebought two items for.....wait for it......$3!!! Where in Tahoe can you find fresh baked goods for $3? The gentleman inside was very nice too. We walked over from our hotel. Parking didn't seem to be a problem. I cut into the concha and it is light and not too sweet at all. And, not dry! Haven't bitten into the cookie yet because it's for the grandchild. They have a big variety of baked goods so please support this local business. Nice and clean inside too!

Pan Dulce! Yes please. Lake Tahoe Ameca Bakery bakes up some darn delicious Mexican pastries…read more I was in South Lake Tahoe, driving about being a tourist. I spotted the shopfront and its signage while driving down Lake Tahoe Blvd. That word "bakery"caught my sweet tooth's attention and off I go. The bakery is unassuming, and no frills. The gentleman at the counter was a man of few words. Kind and earnest. The various pan dulce sat so pretty within the glass cabinets. But there was no pricing. They had the pan dulce names clearly labeled though. Considering it was early afternoon, some items were scarce. But they still had enough variety to satisfy my sweet tooth. I bought some orejas (don't you dare say palmiers), polvorones (they're gorgeous tri colored happy looking butter cookies), conchas (soft bready center with sweet sugary, crisp top goodness), and butter cookies topped with shredded coconut. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, and looked so cheerful. It's a true panaderia where you take a tray and tongs and serve yourself by loading up the baked goodies onto your tray. You take the tray and tongs to the cashier to pay. They'll bag up everything for you. Another important thing to know is their payment policy. They take cash, Venmo, and Zelle. No Apple Pay nor plastic.

I've always eye this spot on every visit but timing always made a stop difficult…read more NOT THIS TIME! I'm always up early for coffee but today I wanted food. This place has always had that small business look and vibe to it. I love that, those type of establishments usually care more about me as a patron than the big guys. I've glances at the menu EVERYTIME I've walked by and this time I pulled the trigger! Chorizo Breakfast Burrito! I won't say it was the best, I have no comparison to suggest it but it was damn good. Can't have chorizo with out salsa either and the combination of the two in a single bite was flawless. I did not get anything to drink, so the verdict on coffee and tea is to be determined. At a glance I have to say they have a wonderful selection of pastries on display that look very fresh and very tempting. Service was fast and friendly and the wait time for the food was normal. I will be dropping in again in the future because there are many more items I'd like to eat here.

This little cafe gets points/stars for a number of things - their location was very convenient to…read morebe able to walk from our hotel, they were open at 6:00 a.m. on a Sunday, and they make darned good food. We were staying at Margaritaville, and this was just a short 5-minute walk away (don't trust the Google maps directions, which takes you far out of the way). The location is in Heavenly Village, just a few feet away from the gondola ticket booth. As East Coast residents experiencing jet lag, we were waking up ridiculously early every day while on vacation in Lake Tahoe - therefore it was important to find the places that opened early. When we got to this Cafe at 6:00 a.m. on Sunday, the coffee was already hot, and the staff was fully engaged. They weren't working the counter service yet, so we ordered for ourselves using the convenient kiosk. It was simple to use, and conveyed the order with just the modifications we were looking for. You can see in my photo, I had the chocolate chip pancakes, I was hungry so I got three pancakes - you can get any quantity you're looking for. We chose to eat inside their small dining area, you can also grab food to go. The chocolate chip pancakes were hot and freshly made. The coffee was a bit expensive for just regular coffee at $6.25 a cup, but that is comparable with Starbucks which is in the same shopping area. This business also makes decadent treats, and they sell both winter and summer merch (everything from winter hats to sunblock and lip balm, etc.). We were in Lake Tahoe for 4 days and found quite a few great breakfast places - Heavens Little Cafe is one very good choice, especially for the convenience early in the morning.

The pear and caramelized walnut salad was incredible and a perfect way to start our meal. For pizza, we ordered the Bear Camp, the Margherita, and a pepperoni pizza for our daughter. Every bite was delicious! The Margherita had fresh, vibrant flavors, the Bear Camp was loaded with toppings, and our daughter couldn't get enough of the pepperoni pizza. The only thing to know before you go is that this place is extremely popular, so be prepared to wait. We had about a 1 1/2-hour wait for a table. My recommendation is to put your name on the list first, then spend some time walking around and shopping while you wait. Trust me--don't show up starving, or the wait will feel even longer! The food was well worth it, and we'll definitely be back the next time we're in South Lake Tahoe.

None of the other cake shops in Tahoe were returning my calls, but Jill picked up. She was kind, professional, and understood exactly how to bring my vision for the cake to life. Having visited quite a few bakeries over the years, I can say they all tend to have a similar overly sweet taste, but Jill's cakes and cupcakes struck a perfect balance of sweetness and texture. I'm genuinely blown away by the flavors she offers compared to the standard options around Tahoe. For any future cakes or cupcakes, she'll be my go-to. Thank you, Jill!

(Dish towels, candles, glasses, sweatshirts and more) They even have a station where you can make your own bouquet! Looks like it's free, I didn't see a cost anywhere. Service - staff is friendly and greets customers promptly. I did order something iced and the young lady taking the order did not mention I couldn't get my drink iced in a 16 oz. I noticed she grabbed a hot cup and I had to clarify my order which is then when she explained I could only get the alpine blue iced in a 12 oz. They do make drinks quickly, but definitely need to be louder when calling out the drinks once they're ready. Drink - 12 oz iced alpine blue. Ube and lavender. Interesting mix but I liked it!

We stopped in on our way back to the bay & picked up a little more than the formentioned amount. It is a nice looking place with a friendly woman who owns it & who I assume is her husband; they are very friendly & will answer your questions. They have good sandwichews like the ham & havardi on a bagette with tender ham, nutty havarti, & a fresh begette; wonderful on the way bhome. The black & white brownie is moist & chewy & nothing there is too sweet. The apple turnover has wonderful ribbins of frosting & real apples, not a paste or perray like at Safeway. The tomato fucacca is wonderful with not too thick or thin bread with fresh tomatos. The blueberry & orange cranberry breads are moist with wonderful amounts of formentioned ingreedients & a wonderful lite glaze over the top; these are also avalable in muffins which I will try next time. The oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are chewy & moist with generous amounts of rasins & chocolate chips. The almond cressant is flaky & buttery with the right amount of marzapan. The three cheese fuccaca is savery with cheddar, mozerella, & parmasan. For non locals like us, it is tucked away in a shopping center & needs a bigger sign. So, for excellent sandwiches & baked goods at reasonable prices, River Pine cannot be beat. Keep up the good work guys.

They're not that good. We waited in line for about 15 minutes and 2 people in front of us left. The lady in the front even shouted "waiting this long for a bagel is ridiculous." Turns out they ran out of bagels on a Saturday morning at 9 AM. The fact that there are no menus posted anywhere is just a poor business model. There's no QR code or menus to grab when you enter. People are just left to their own imagined until they see the menu at the front of the line or, they jump on Yelp and find it themselves. After trying this place twice, we won't be back again. We love to come to Tahoe 4 to 5 times a year and truly enjoyed the visit where everything went right. The fact that this is our second visit here and we are not the only customers with the same sentiments makes me sad. Just post your menus guys! And it's a Saturday in October, bagels should be readily available during peak time.
