    Stopped in for lunch! Had the French Dip and a huckleberry drink! Yum! Such nice ladies working here. So many options for food! Lots of local artisans selling their items!

    Cute little cafe & store in the middle of woods, near Nevada border. We love to stop here to stretch our legs and get sandwiches here. Those ladies work hard to keep the orders moving and their sandwiches are simple but tasty. There are also ice creams for hot summer day, and chips, jams, soup mix etc... fun to look around while waiting for my order. Looks like your dog could get a free treat! I see some neighbors and repeating customer's dogs coming in to the store and get their treats. Very homey, neighborly store that offers plenty of seatings inside and outside. Just be patient for your order to come.

    Really enjoy this cute café. I go there weekly just for the café mocha the old store fill a nice touch It makes it feel very grounded and Homie I'd have to do a shout out to Tristan. He's always consistent on his product every week I go there.

    I stopped in today for ice cream, which had a longer line than the California Lottery tickets.

    Not sure what's with the bad reviews. This store has a huge selection of firearms to choose from…read more That's the reason we all go there let's be honest. On my recent visit the staff was super kind and all wanted to pet my dog. Some staff had treats ready. Even though they were in the process of moving the entire ammo department, they still helped me find what I needed. Their website has a massive selection so if it's not in the store they can get it shipped there. Any store that allows me to bring my dog inside always gets a better review. That lets me know if the employees are going to be nice or not right when I enter. Will return again soon!

    I wanted to sell a small weapon and I was told that sportsman warehouse Carson City would buy…read morecertain guns. I called them. I spoke with Greg who told me that my gun qualify and to bring it in. If I had sold it privately, I would have to go with the buyer for registered gun dealer, and pay for the transfer fee. But I figured out how much I would get for a private sale less fees on background check it would be much better for me to deal with sportsman's warehouse. When I arrived, Greg was there he checked out a gun which was practically brand new and had all the original paperwork, he gave me a top line price, which was more than what I expected, and the processor was very quick. Paul H And Chris took care of all the paperwork and within about 35 minutes I was out the door with cash in hand. I was advised if I had done a trade-in they would've been able to give me more money but quite frankly I'm very happy with what they offered. Sportsman's warehouse has a huge inventory of every kind of weapons and ammunition you could ever imagine. They are all so knowledgeable. They know their stuff. This store has everything from weapons to clothing to camping goods hunting goods even down to the best snacks you can imagine. While I'm at it, Debbie, who I believe is the software supervisor and handles all the clothes and shoes and things like that is a wonderful customer service person. The minute you walk in the door someone says hello, and they are extremely helpful. I highly recommend them.

    Not sure what people are raving about with this place. Everything looks and tastes like it came in…read morefrozen from a wholesaler and then just defrosted. We got a chocolate croissant (only decent thing I got, but don't compare it to an artisanal made croissant where it's a dark golden brown with flaky crispy buttery layers). Their "croissants" are more like anemic, soft, moist bread. Also, got a cheese Danish. Starbucks sells a better cheese Danish than this place. The Danish was dry and hard and the center filling looked like it was pre-made frozen and just placed on top of the Danish. Finally, the worst of the worst, I got a personal size dutch apple crumble pie. Now THIS looked like it was made from scratch and I had hopes for this one. However, I took a piece of the crumble topping and ate it. It had an unusual funny taste. Almost like it was made with lavender. Didn't taste quite right. Then, when I got back to my hotel, I really dug into it. It wasn't just the crumble that was off, but the entire pie tasted of rancid spoiled butter. I had to spit it out, it was horrible. I can't believe they would serve that. I don't know how old that thing was, but they need better quality control. The only people I could see giving this place 5 stars on the food, are locals. Tahoe is behind when it comes to quality high end artisanal pastries. I have yet to find a decent coffee shop. Their sign boasts "Voted Best in Tahoe", but you'll see that almost every spot here has the same sign, from ice cream shops to bakeries to whatever else because there's literally nothing here. If you're from a big city, don't come here. Service was pleasant. No complaints.

    Looks can be deceiving…read more.. 3.14 Pie day! Arrived at 2:45pm and we were the only ones there. Not much to choose from, but they did have the lemon meringue that everyone was raving about and two kinds of apple pie. Over two hours until closing at 5pm on Saturday and the chairs were already flipped over on the tables as if they were closing/cleaning. The lady packed our order to go without asking, so I guess that was also a hint to not stick around. Onto the pie: it sure looked nice, but one bite was all I needed. I did take a second bite just to make sure my taste buds weren't playing tricks on me. The meringue was gummy, the crust was soggy. The lemon filling was ok, but did not compensate for the top and the bottom being almost inedible. I don't know if it was old, just bad, or both. This was honestly one of the worst lemon meringue pies I've ever had. We would have been better off getting a pie at the grocery store. We didn't dig into the apple pie yet, but after the lemon meringue, I don't have high hopes.
