Customer service was fantastic. My son picked out a hedgehog cake pop, but accidentally dropped it on the floor before he could even take a bite. I went to the front counter to explain what happened and ask if we could buy another one, but the barista was incredibly kind and understanding. She immediately handed us a replacement free of charge. The service was fast, friendly, and accommodating, it made for an excellent stop!

My tea was great, the tea and lemonade was great. The bathroom is left a little bit to your imagination. The bathrooms need to be updated.

The girls were friendly and the service was quick. It just could use an update on the decor.

The woman in front of me had just ordered and was waiting for her drink off to the side and once it was my turn to order the cashier walked away and didn't say a word. No "I'll be with you in a second". Not even a word. Just purely walked off. Usually I am patient in situations like these and will wait, but here, it was like waiting for grass to grow. I'm SO DONE.

Next time I'll be boring and order my regular:a vanilla latte. I'll definitely stop in again.

I went to this coffee shop for the first time this morning with a few friends, and unfortunately…read morethe entire experience left all of us extremely put off. From the moment I ordered, the barista was blunt, unfriendly, and gave very little eye contact. I ordered an iced Americano with a splash of nonfat milk, and his only response was, "2%?" I had to ask if he meant that was the only option before he clarified. No apology or explanation, just minimal communication. He also never asked for my name. After hearing another customer's name called, I asked a different barista how I would know when my drink was ready. While she was answering me perfectly fine, he called over from about five feet away, "Well, we're going to call out your exact drink order. Your drink's not ready." I wasn't asking why my drink wasn't ready. I was asking how I would know which was mine. His response was rude and condescending, especially when his lack of communication created the confusion in the first place. My friend then ordered an iced chai and was given a hot one. He made the excuse that he had ridden a motorcycle for an hour and was having trouble hearing. That made very little sense considering he had just heard and inserted himself into my conversation from five feet away, yet apparently couldn't hear my friend standing directly in front of him. If his hearing was genuinely that impaired, taking customer orders and then using it as an excuse for getting them wrong was extremely frustrating. Our drinks were also subpar, service was slow, and the entire experience felt disorganized and poorly managed. Everyone has bad days, but if that was the issue, he probably should have stayed home or worked making drinks rather than taking orders in such a customer-facing position. Otherwise, he may be better suited stocking shelves overnight at Walmart where customer interaction isn't part of the job. We all left genuinely disappointed and with no desire to return.

Whatever beans they use are excellent in their espresso blend. The service was excellent, and everybody had a smile on their face. The only thing that was odd to me was plastic stir sticks. Why would i want to put plastic into my hot drink? Made no sense when you can use cheap wood recycled stir sticks.

We saw this place while walking in the Olympic village and decided to stop in. We walked up to the counter to place our order and the person taking our order, a young black girl was so unfriendly. Probably the most unfriendly person I've seen in a long time. No smiles. Looks like she did not want to be there. Sometimes I wonder if these places should hire robots instead of humans. This place was also very expensive which is understandable since it's in the middle of nowhere and everything has to be shipped in from far away. We ordered 2 almond croissants which were not as fresh as I expected. We were hungry so we had no choice but to eat them. In hindsight we should have driven to Tahoe City 15 minutes away. I'm sure we would have find a better place for breakfast. We sat on the patio which had a great view of the mountains which was probably the only positive thing about this place. On our next trip back to Olympic valley I don't think we will be going back to this restaurant.

My friend also got a cappuccino as well as a blueberry muffin, but they ran out so they gave him one of the vegan berry muffins instead. He said it wasn't bad. They have quite a bit at Wild Cherries.

So I don't really go here much because I don't want to spend $6-7 on a coffee and &$13 plus for a coffee and a croissant. In comparison, Tahoe house bakery is at least $3-4 cheaper for a coffee and a croissant and similar quality. Maybe it's not anyone's fault, it's just my reality
