    We enjoyed the vanilla latte, black coffee, ham and cheese croissant, and an everything bagel! The bagel was a bit light on cream cheese but everything else was great. Tables were a bit dirty and had to clean ourselves but otherwise we enjoyed this shop! We also had the Palisades location which is great except the staff wear AirPods which always feels rude as a customer.

    Great spot! Downtown truckee is awesome and we love stopping here. Great drinks and food. Pastries are tasty.

    A friend recommended Coffeebar and it was a good recommendation. I grabbed the seasonal cold brew with pumpkin spice cold foam which had the taste and consistency of custard.... Yum!! I also tried a croissant. They had a limited off season menu. Lots of merch and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Please come and create your own adventure.

    Matcha late 2/5 - I knew this wasn't going to be quality matcha but still was disappointed by it. They use a matcha bowl and whisk but that doesn't mean anything if the matcha powder isn't good. Very milky. Worker was extremely rude, don't know if it's because he could tell we are tourists but wouldn't come back

    Avocado toast

    I'm sorry but I got this avocado toast to go and you cannot tell me this is worth $14. Extremely disappointing.

    Chocolate croissant and SF vanilla latte

    Nice spot for a coffee and breakfast or lunch! I came here twice during my week in Truckee. The first time was right before closing and we got the deal of the century with their $5 donut box!! I assume it's the donuts that didn't sell that get put in there. Their raspberry donuts were DELICIOUS! One of the best donuts I've ever had. You are truly missing out if you don't get one. The maple is also yummy, but the cinnamon roll is a skip in my opinion. Their iced matcha is pretty good, but a little overpriced. I subbed oat milk in mine and it came to almost $10 which is crazy. I got a SF vanilla latte with oat milk the second time I came and it was okay, nothing special. Overall a cute spot and would recommend. Be warned though that it does get pretty busy.

    Such a gem in downtown Truckee! Off the main road so need to search for it ~ but Coffeebar has an amazing selection of seasonal drinks -- creative, well-crafted, and perfect for the mountain vibe. First time here and will make sure to come back and try something new. The ambiance is cozy and stylish, with a warm, welcoming feel that makes it easy to settle in. Great spot for catching up with friends or just relaxing with a book as several people were observed doing while we were there. The food menu is also a win -- thoughtfully put together. We tried several of the pastries and all were so yummy. Definitely will be a favorite stop whenever I'm in the area! Cute logo-ware too!

    We regret stopping by here. The staff weren't very kind, coffee tasted meh, and simple pastries were super over priced. They made a big deal about us calling a mocha a "mocha latte" upon ordering, which is used interchangeably in almost every single context. It was pretty but def had bad vibes. Not welcoming at all

    Interior

    Such a cute spot! Great coffee and vegan snack options. The inside was spacious and charming and the staff were very nice!

    Avocado toast
    Mark M.

    Amazing avocado toast. Maybe the best we've had? Top tier craft coffee drinks. Excellent choice of pastries. Excellent staff. Great vibe. If you are a coffee lover Coffeebar is your stop in Truckee.

    Croissant

    We went in on a Saturday morning and there was not too much of a wait. Their menu is limited compared to other coffee shops. I got the cucumber mint matcha which was pictured as iced. It was made hot and the barista had no problem making it iced for me. Thank you for being so kind. Their food was very SMALL portioned. I was quite taken back. Their savory scone was so good. Lots of searing inside and out.

    Matcha and Latte

    This coffee shop gives small town coffee shop vibes. While their parking lot is a little small I found street parking close by. The baristas were friendly, and food and drinks we ordered came out quickly. They encourage eating in and bringing your own reusable cup which I love. The sandwich and coffee I ordered was tasty. The prices are on the higher side, which is expected for the Truckee considering the area, so just something to be aware of.

    $20 for this

    Harlen was so kind especially for making me a (tasty) dirty chai even after the cafe had closed. I really appreciated it!

We also upgraded our experience from smores & fireplace outdoors, to a YURT! Best decision ever & it was our BEST winery experience ever! It was just perfect & magical! The yurt had 2 heaters, but we quickly turned one off. It wAs equipped with blankets & pillows! It was so cozy feeling. Our table was so nicely decorated, like out of a magazine! The experience came with a charcuterie board and 5 wine tastings. Everything was so good! Not a fan of White wine, but it's something about high elevation wineries...makes white taste yummy! Ambiance was cozy, without the cold snow! We absolutely loved everything about it & we are super happy we booked it! This is a must to visit in Truckee!

She gave us her recommendations, we trusted her, and she did not steer us wrong once! We started with the bruschetta, which was unreal. Everything tasted so fresh--the combination of the veggies and fruit with the pesto and cheese was literal perfection. Such a good balance of flavors. I had the Pasta Di Olio, and I genuinely cannot say enough good things about it. The pasta tasted incredibly fresh, the flavors were perfect, and the sausage crumble took it to another level. Simple, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. My boyfriend couldn't decide what to order, so Almandine surprised him with the ravioli bolognese--and she nailed it. He loved it. Rich, flavorful, and basically comfort food at its finest. We finished with the chocolate polenta pudding, which was the perfect ending to the meal. So good. Between the food, the atmosphere, and especially Almandine's service, we had such a great experience. She was warm, knowledgeable, and made ordering so much fun. We will absolutely be back the next time we're in Truckee!

    There's a reason this place requires a reservation. The…read morefood is good. The service is fantastic. The atmosphere is romantic but lively. I realize that doesn't make sense. It was nice inside ... almost cozy like but still fun. The food menu is varied and has lots of great options. It was hard to decide what to eat since I wanted to try a lot. The wine list has some really nice (reasonably priced) options too. We started with the carpaccio which was presented with some grilled bread (which I love), a bit of arugula, parm, capers and lemons. The meat was tender and melted in your mouth. The char on the bread was perfection... just enough to give it a little something-something but the bread was still soft and chewable. I had the Risotto Di Mare (seafood risotto). It was packed with fish and shellfish... and came out steaming. I love when my food comes out so hot I have to blow on it. You know it just came off the stove. The husband had the Sausage and Tagliatelle. There was so much sausage that we took half back to our condo and scrambled it with our eggs with next morning. For dessert, we had the special banana cake. It doesn't sound great but it was the perfect dessert. Not heavy, not dense, not too sweet. And we shared a bottle of Nebbiolo. Our dinner bill before tip was $194. I found that reasonable since the portions were not skimpy and the quality was really good.

The view alone gets five stars. The service, however, appears to operate on "lake or mountain time." We were seated with menus and waited about 20 minutes before we finally flagged down an employee to ask for service. Our group of four ordered four glasses of wine, two desserts, and an appetizer, and we mentioned that we planned to share everything. When the food and drinks arrived, we asked the person who dropped them off if the outdoor heater could be turned on. He responded, "Ummm... ask your server," with an attitude, then walked away. That was essentially the last service we received. We couldn't flag anyone down for side plates, napkins, or utensils, so we improvised. Fortunately, the appetizer and desserts came with large serving spoons, which we used as our personal cutlery. No napkins, though--we were apparently expected to embrace the rustic experience fully. We watched nearby tables struggle to get service as well. Employees seemed frustrated whenever guests asked for blankets, since the outdoor heaters weren't being turned on. One manager told a nearby table that propane was being brought out for the heater next to us. It never arrived. Another two-top eventually left after sunset without ever getting the chance to order food or drinks. To be fair, we came during Labor Day weekend, and it was clear the restaurant had started the day in the weeds. Earlier that afternoon, we stopped by and the bartender at the front was visibly stressed. She told us we could seat ourselves, but that we were about 40 minutes away from receiving any service because she was the only employee working. So, if you come here, manage your expectations--and pack accordingly. Bring napkins, utensils, side plates, drinks, snacks, and possibly a small emergency flare in case your server has gone on a wilderness expedition around the lake. I'd definitely come back for the view. The scenery is beautiful, the patio is fantastic, and sunset is worth the trip. Just don't expect the service to be remotely reliable.
