Cold brew
Janille P.

I had high hopes for Mountain Brew, especially since the drinks took quite a while to make. We were thinking the extra time meant they were being crafted well. Unfortunately the coffee came out extremely concentrated with barely any ice, making it pretty much undrinkable, and we had to leave before we could even get it fixed.

Gross potatoes in the burrito

LABOR DAY review (busy, lots of customers). That said, the food itself was not very good. Specifically, the breakfast burrito was gross with undercooked and bland potatoes accompanied by slimy pico de gallo (cilantro was slimy). The eggs in it were great. The drinks were good - and the servers were doing the best they could. They definitely should have more staff or closed the drive through, as the cashier was also taking those orders from cars and it was slow.

Cool spot with outdoor, indoor seating and drive thru. I got an iced latte, as other reviewers the coffee is strong so it was not my favorite but everyone in my group did like the coffee. Also they roast their own coffee so that's a plus. We sat down and played table games with was nice. They have a big menu with breakfast and lunch options so plenty to choose from breakfast burritos to salads and soups. They also have draft beer and wine if you're not looking for coffee. Service was good.

So many cute cups!

Such a cute find! They have the soy milk I like to make a sweeter latte without intentionally adding a sweetener. My favorite part are the AMAZING cups here. This is my dream cupboard with Stitch, Hello Kitty, Pooh, Disney and so much more. Huge breakfast burritos. I mean large. Tons of food options including egg salad sandwich, Leige waffles, and plenty more. I am the type that would prefer to see the pastries when choosing them so that's something they can consider. Beer and wine for your happy hours including some deals listed in the stores. The huge windows likely open up in the summer when it's nice for outdoor seating. Glorious. Very comfy seating!

Wanted to try Mountain Brew because the location is so convenient! My expectations were not high for the coffee because it's one of those places that has a little bit of everything- food, drinks, bakery, etc. but I was pleasantly surprised. My drink (iced latte) was great! Well made and great tasting. It is a bit cluttered inside, but busy so it seems to be a spot people frequent. I also was not greeted when it was my turn to order and they were not super friendly this time. I will go back again though now that I know it's quality drinks! Bonus that they have a drive thru

Super cool mountainous themed coffee shop. The garage doors open up and indoor/outdoor seating is available. The coffee is strong. I ordered a decaf americano which I enjoyed. Pastries looked delicious, we shared an oatmeal raisin cookie. Justin Beiber was on repeat in store. S/o to whoever is in charge of the music.

I had such a great experience at Mountain brew! I went in on my birthday to grab sandwiches with my fiancé and it offhandedly got brought up that it was my birthday. The staff was so sweet. They brought me out a brownie (that was absolutely divine) with a candle while we are waiting for our sandwiches. Everything was so delicious the sandwiches, the brownie, everything and it just really made my day that they went so above and beyond to treat me so well. Definitely recommend!

White mocha and oatmeal coffee
Jesus C.

The Mountain Brew brings a refreshing twist to the traditional coffee shop experience. At first glance, the building is a bit misleading--it resembles a mechanical shop more than a café, and the typical coffee shop aesthetic is thrown out the window. But don't let the exterior fool you. Inside, it's a beautiful and thoughtfully designed space, offering a much-needed fresh take--the Body-Coffee-Shop vibe is unique and inviting. We stopped here while passing through Truckee at the end of a beautiful road trip, and it was the perfect ending. I had the white mocha, which had a great coffee balance--just a bit light on the sugar, but the oatmeal cookie made up for it, adding warmth and richness. Together, they made an unexpectedly great combo. What really made the experience special was the atmosphere. A light evening rain had just started, and with the mountain view as our backdrop, it was one of those rare moments of peaceful perfection--sipping coffee, enjoying the cool breeze, and soaking in the beauty around us. Customer service was great--staff were helpful and informative about their offerings. However, I would suggest that management or the owner speak with employees about being more welcoming when customers use familiar coffee terms. When I used the word Frappuccino, it seemed to trigger an unnecessarily dismissive reaction. Let's be honest--Starbucks has been around for a long time and plays a big role in many people's coffee experiences. There's no need to act annoyed or confused when people use terms they're familiar with. Embrace the learning opportunity; we're here for a new experience, not to be judged or dismissed. Also, a huge thank you for staying open past 6 pm--most places were already closed, and we were getting a little frustrated trying to find a spot. Your extended hours truly made our night.

Post hike lunch - warm sunshine & delicious food.
Sarah S.

Perfect place to get lunch after vigorous winter hike around Donner State Park. Delicious hot sandwich loaded with turkey & cheese, potato salad & check out the size of this warm, yummy chocolate chip cookie. A must visit for breakfast or lunch. Friendly welcoming staff.

It's exciting to have a new coffee shop in the area, and Mountain Brew delivers where it counts most, the coffee is actually really good. That said, the food is a major letdown. I tried the bacon and egg burrito, and it was a greasy, soggy mess. The eggs tasted like low-quality liquid eggs, probably microwaved. Bacon was mostly fat and not even slightly crispy. Potatoes were nearly nonexistent, and worst of all, there was no salsa or anything to help cut through the blandness. The coffee alone makes it worth checking out, but the kitchen definitely needs to step it up. A few tweaks and this place could be a gem.

See all

I had the most amazing breakfast sandwich. The only reason this isn't a 5 out of 5 is because I got a splinter on one of the outdoor tables

This barnyard coffee shop has high marks on aesthetics alone. I loved the local vibe here at this…read moreeclectic shop, where you come not just for the drink but for the friendly service as well. Since I'm not normally a coffee drinker, the staff recommended a non-dairy matcha latte for me so that I could mask the caffeine flavors just a bit. My drink order came out within a few minutes and it really hit the spot on a chilly, autumn day. The lounging area inside was also spectacular. Loved the vibes and family-friendly activities like coloring sheets that the shop provided to entertain the kids.

Such a cool coffee shop, loved the vibes in here! Great spot if you want to chill here while you…read moreenjoy your coffee. The coffee was good and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Definitely a popular spot as every seat was filled when we arrived! Very limited food menu--they only offer two breakfast options. Breakfast burrito (rice, black beans, cheese, and chorizo) which can be ordered with or without chorizo but no other modifications since they're all pre made. Also had a breakfast sandwich option as well. I personally wasn't a fan of the breakfast burrito but my boyfriend really enjoyed his. The rice and beans were 90% of the burrito with very tiny bits of chorizo here and there so it just didn't feel like breakfast to me and I didn't finish mine. Everyone has different tastes though so if you enjoy bean and rice burritos I'm sure you would like this!

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.

I have yet to try a bakery good I didn't like there. I will stock up on their breakfast bowls too. They are quick and filling and one of the few things I can get my teenager to eat in the morning. The owner is amazing and she chooses her employees well. I have not met one that didn't greet me with a smile or a small talk conversation. I might not be a local, but I always feel like one when I go here. I highly recommend this business!
