    Espresso
    Jason V.

    I do love the baked goods here. The textures and flavors are a strong offering in a town with great baked goods options. But it's probably the worst of the espresso bunch. I submit this isn't subjective.. the thing in my attached photograph isn't espresso. It was weaker than drip coffee and tasted mostly of hot water. But the baked goods bring me back on those occasions I don't care about a coffee option. Or when I'm willing to go a few doors down after for my beans.

    Cake

    Cornerstone did a lovely job with our wedding cake. They were easy to communicate with, pick up was easy, and execution was perfect. We even saved a little bit of our cake to enjoy for our 1 year anniversary because it was so good!

    Vanilla Bean Pull-Apart.
    Curtis D.

    I recently discovered "Cornerstone Bakery" in Truckee and had the pleasure of sampling their Vanilla Bean Pull Apart and Caramel Almond Brownie. The Vanilla Bean Pull Apart evoked nostalgic memories of my grandmother's traditional recipe, offering a delightful, melt-in-your-mouth experience. However, the Caramel Almond Brownie was particularly exceptional. I highly recommend Cornerstone Bakery for all your dessert requirements.

    We came in with a group of 8 for breakfast and were pleasantly surprised by how fast and efficient the service was. You order at the counter, and even with a larger group, everything came out quickly, correctly, and hot. Great unique menu! The inside is clean, small but cozy, and the food was beautifully presented--clearly made with care. Every plate looked like something you'd want to photograph before diving in (which I did!) Very tasty, fresh, and flavorful. Not great for large parties, although we were accommodated at different tables. Recommend!

    Chocolate croissant

    We come down here every year from socal and this is the first time we came to this bakery for my birthday. The owner is AMAAAAAZING. She is kind funny and has the best personality. As someone that bakes and loves to eat I think her baked goods are fantastic. She also said happy birthday. Thank you for existing.

    Biggest cinnamon roll ever
    Emma T.

    The pastries here are HUGE and beautiful, they almost look to good to eat! We got a variety for family that was in town and they raved about them. Coming back on Friday for their challah, can't wait to try it. Fast and friendly service. Easy parking

    Bear claw and coconut cookie

    Service was friendly and the interior was clean. We ordered a bear claw (4/5) and a coconut cookie (5/5). We may return in the future to try more of their cookies.

    Walked in for coffee left with pastries I mean cmon how could you not and they did not disappoint. The stand out definitely was the chocolate croissant! Flaky and packed with flavor. If you want to skip the crowd on the weekends you can always order online.

    Cinnamon Roll, scone, Vanilla Latte

    This place was AMAZING! A must stop if you're in the area or headed to Palisades! The pastries were out of this world! The coffee menu was limited but SO GOOD; you can taste the quality!

    Vanilla pull-apart
    Mara L.

    Cornerstone Bakery is truly a one-of-a-kind gem in the heart of Truckee. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with genuine warmth-the cashier was incredibly friendly, and you could tell the chefs genuinely love what they do. That passion comes through in every bite. My favorite was the BLTA; the candied bacon paired perfectly with the fresh focaccia, creating that ideal balance of savory, sweet, and satisfying. Every ingredient tasted thoughtfully prepared and incredibly fresh. The ambiance was relaxed and authentically local, with the comforting aroma of freshly baked bread filling the space. It's the kind of place that instantly feels inviting and special. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Vanilla bean pull apart, butter croissant and coffee cake
    Dana L.

    This is my ultimate FAV Truckee stop!!! Their carbs, I mean treats, are everything! No matter what you try, you won't be disappointed. Whenever we stay in the area, I try and go here at least once. I was lucky to go here 2 days in a row this weekend. Yesterday we got coffee cake and a fruit pastry (both delicious) and today we got another coffee cake (my bf really likes them here) and I got their vanilla bean pull apart (it always sells out) , croissant and a cookie. We usually also get lattes, their lattes aren't anything special, but pastries and lattes go hand and hand. I promise you that this place is AMAZING and once you try it, it will become a Truckee staple, like it has for me! The girls working here are always sweet, they have a handful of chairs in the bakery to sit at and their is also a small breakfast kitchen next door, they is also pretty yummy.

    Oh boy! This is my new pastry spot! I heard about it on another platform discussing gluten-free…read moreoptions. I have had it on my radar for a few weeks until I have been able to stop in. 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.

    Delicious baked goods with a wide assortment. Best coffee I've had in years. Clean bathroom and…read moreperfect stop before heading home. Staff was super nice and attentive!

The employees were kind as was everyone in line, which was very relaxed yet orderly. I made an initial list after seeing the menu online and some last minute substitutions when I saw the items visually. Gruyere and calabrian chili bread - The bread is amazing and still a little warm at 8:45/9 AM. The texture, taste, and flavors were perfect. A great crunch with an airy inside. The flavors complemented one another perfectly. Highly recommend getting bread. Blueberry scone - I had the peach scone on my list but this flavor was a last minute sub. It was jam packed with blueberries with a sweet glaze on top. Super freshly baked texture. Pistachio chocolate morning bun - Amazing. Nice, flaky layers. Filled with delicious chocolate chips and pistachios with a delicious chocolate sort of glaze on top. Raspberry chocolate chip brioche twist - Great flavor with raspberry jam and chocolate sort of like the innards of a choc croissant. It tasted a tiny bit dry while I usually prefer a doughier bake. Giant though! Blondie - Last minute substitution! Really yummy with chocolate chips and butterscotch chips and varied texture. The middle was yummy dough-y while the outside was more baked. Pecan stresual coffee cake - The topping was amazing as was the inner layer which felt sort of like pecan pie. I would have liked a tiny bit more moisture in the actual cake. There's decent dog entertainment in line. Meaning dogs to entertain humans, and some employees even hand out dog treats. Ravioli the doggo (shout out if you are reading this, even though the chances are low). When I left the line looked about equivalently long as when I arrived. Overall amazing and don't sleep on the bread!! Worth waiting in line.
