Inside seating was mainly stools along the front window with excellent views of the trees and water. I really liked that there was a central coat tree where you could hang your heavy coat, especially with the limited seating. Some tables outside as well for sunny days. Interesting menu that blends standard breakfast with some healthier add-ins like quinoa instead of rice. Food tasted fresh, supporting their goal to serve natural, organic, and local ingredients. I opted for the Sunrise Sliders, and had no complaints. I particularly liked that the pretzel buns weren't too dense and didn't overwhelm the other ingredients. I was given the option to add pesto, and it added great texture and flavor. Great showcasing of local products like bagels from Tahoe Bagel Co. and Blind Dog Coffee.

We stopped by right when they opened on a chilly Monday morning. Were immediately greeted by the…read moretwo friendly and cheerful guys behind the counter. The interior is nice and cozy (and warm), with light reggae music playing in the background. There're only two tables; the rest of the seating is VERY comfortable bar seating. With two walls of windows showing beautiful Lake Tahoe views--plenty of trees and the lake itself--there's plenty of morning light coming through. I was happy that they were serving smooth Laughing Dog coffee--a favorite. And the food came out quick and delicious, with a nice crisp on my burrito wrapper. The menu is limited, but what they do they do creatively and well--the quinoa in my burrito went great with the eggs, beans, and sausage, and they told my wife they were experimenting with their already creative pretzel bun sunrise sliders by adding pesto--a perfect extra optional touch for her.

The views are beautiful.

It's a little pricey, but that's standard in CA these days. Also, they probably need to be a little pricey to stay afloat as a small business. I'd like to go back and try the cucumber salad and blue smoothie, which looked good and other patrons said were great. It's cool that it's woman-owned and gluten free throughout, for those that are sensitive. I'd recommend adding some cookie dessert options and tofu or some other vegan protein option. This type of place is a much-needed addition to the limited Truckee food scene. They're still in the soft open phase, so kinks are getting worked out. The decor is modern, and simple. There is outdoor seating also.

They said it happened the previous day as well. So before you go, you may want to check to see if they can serve you. We went back today after confirming that the computer was working. The service was good, but the food was just okay. My wife got the burger and liked it. My daughter got the ramen noodle special, which she didn't like. I tasted it and didn't like it either. The noodles we over cooked. I ordered the chopped salad which was good, with a nice dressing. I made the mistake of ordering the soup of the day, which was clam chowder. It was New England style, but tasted watery. There is currently indoor and outdoor seating. The view is spectacular. If you go, don't order the clam chowder, and you'll probably find the food is Ok.

The Shakti Salad is the reason we come back. The version I've had has shredded chicken, avocado, cashews, strawberries, sunflower sprouts, blueberries, crumbled cheese, and a dressing on the side that works well on everything. It's a big plate and genuinely filling without leaving you feeling sluggish. The ingredients change sometimes, but it's always good. The avocado toast is two slices on thick dark bread with a fried egg, shredded carrot, and microgreens. The side of fresh strawberries is a nice touch. Not a skimpy portion. The space is clean and quiet. There are yoga classes happening sometimes, which adds a calm kind of energy. The staff keeps things running smoothly without being in your face. Parking is easy, which matters when you're in hiking gear and just want to eat. It's toward the end of town and easy to miss, but worth seeking out. Get the Shakti Salad. If you want something lighter, the avocado toast holds up on its own.

What a brilliant idea. I would love to try a class if I'm in the Tahoe area again. Easy parking when I came as there was no class. My salad was ready and the owner even gave me a reusable bag. Really nice! Please come and create your own adventure.
