Best coffee in Truckee, kindest baristas, sweetest owner and chill vibe with tons of sunshine and easy parking!!

I went to the coffee truck at Pallisades Tahoe and ordered a latte. The truck seemed very clean and (for a ski resort) it was very affordable. The latte was excellent and the service was efficient and friendly. read more

Amazing coffee and the service was awesome - great conversations. Particularly love their light roasts, like the Ethiopian. It's set in an industrial strip mall so not a lot of seating or ambiance but it's a good place to just grab a cup and go. The baristas were saying how someone had just gotten locked in the bathroom for 20 minutes (one of those code bathrooms) so just be careful and bring your phone in with you if you need to use the bathroom. read more

My favorite espresso in Truckee is from Whole Treat Bakery. They use Pacific Crest Coffee. I came to the shop and ordered an espresso and some dark roast beans. The espresso was extremely acidic and sour. I couldn't really drink it. I think it's under-extracted and the temp isn't hot enough. The shot is too voluminous and runny. I brought the beans home and put them through my OXO Rapid Brewer. The shot was lovely.. dark and classic and sweet. So my take is: buy the beans, pull them elsewhere. read more

Hands down the best Coffee spot in Truckee!! Everything always tastes fresh and friendly staff as well!

3.5 stars for a solid cafe. This is located right off the freeway, outside of Truckee, it looks a bit industrial, but a great thing because parking is really easy. It's a tiny coffee shop, so there isn't much seating - more of a grab and go. They offer nitro cold brew, which I thought was really cool, but they are canned and not fresh on tap I don't believe. Vanilla latte I had was pretty standard, but I appreciate that it came with two shots. read more

Spectacular espresso drinks! My summer favorite is an iced latte with oat milk. Sorry Starbucks, but Pacific Crest is way better. The espresso is smooth and flavorful, without any bitterness. read more

Easily the best coffee in town. Their vanilla latte is incredibly creamy, the espresso is excellent, and it's my go-to over any other coffee shop (I've tried them all) read more

Ordered a cup of drip and cappuccino, and the cappuccino had a espresso that was blend of Costa Rican, Ethiopian, and Yemen. I could taste the fruitiness of the espresso, and it was bit acidic, but still tasted smooth. Tried both the Colombia and Kenya roast, and I found the Kenya to be my preference. The Colombia was a bit dark for my taste. There was still a bit of acidity in the Kenya, but it was quite good and light. The service was quick and friendly. The ambiance was chill with only a small amount of seating, so it's definitely made for takeout more. read more

Not impressed. Stopped by for a quick bite and coffee to go. Unfortunately, my to-go cup came without a lid, which made it hard to manage while traveling. I also ordered the quiche, but it was served cold--not just room temperature, but clearly straight from the fridge. The staff was nice enough, but the overall experience was disappointing. read more

My husband and I stopped in for the first time this morning, and man, did it start our day off right! Delicious drip coffee and a dreamy on-tap nitro cold brew. My husband's words: "the drip was expertly roasted and full of flavor." 10/10 would sip again! read more

Stopped by on the way to Reno and would highly recommend. The house coffee and nitro cold brew with house made vanilla syrup are so good we'll probably stop by tomorrow on our way down the hill again. The service was quick and the barista was friendly and helpful. Loved the music and ambiance inside :) read more

Delicious coffee. Baristas who care. I've been stopping here for espresso for several years and it's time I left them a review. I used to be a coffee roaster and barista and visiting this cafe makes me miss working in the coffee industry so much. It's simple and comfortable. Not only is their coffee on point their bakery is also wonderful. (Oh yea I also used to be a baker.) The pastries and veggie burrito they make are awesome! Truckee has a lot of great coffee & bakeries yet Pacific Crest is my favorite. read more

The best coffee and the best beans I've ever had, period. They roast their own beans and the coffee master is from the Washington stare, so he knows a thing or two about good coffee. While I was enjoying my mocha, my husband was occupied trying to solve a few metal puzzles they had laying around. Everyone was happy. A small space but has a few seats by the window. Friendly and easygoing staff. A must on your visit to Truckee. read more

Stopped by PCC on a road trip through Truckee to stock up on coffee. Picked up a bag of Colombian dark roast ground for an AeroPress. Enjoyed the best coffee of our trip for the next week! Don't miss this place if you are passing through Truckee. I'm sure the locals already know this.. read more

Went here after breakfast on the way back to Reno and just wanted to get some coffee. It was amazing, coffee was fresh and made quickly. Priced fairly and the staff was really friendly. Would definitely come back here next time we are in the area. read more

Deeeeelicious coffee! Friendly people to exchange morning chat. even though i had to cross town to get there and pass a couple coffee shops on the way- worth the drive. read more

Best coffee in Truckee. Pacific Crest makes the best Americano in town and roasts the best beans that can be bought for your daily coffee at home too. Their Sumatra beans are probably my favorite, but all are very good. The citrus notes in the Kenyan beans are also very good. If that first sip of coffee every morning has to be amazing, get a cup at Pacific Crest and get a bag of beans to go for the days you can't make it out to the coffee shop. read more

Loved this place! They had a creative menu with lots of coffee and tea latte options. I had the golden milk latte and my friend had the Mochagandha, and we both enjoyed our drinks very much. Also there is a cute bakery right next door, so it's perfect to stop at both places at once. Highly recommend and I look forward to going back again! read more

Hands down the best coffee in Truckee. It's such a great spot and they've created a wonderful sense of community. The coffee is amazing and the people there are even better. Best part of my morning is my first sip of coffee. Thanks Ralph, Beau, Liz, Tori and everyone!!! read more

Deliciousness. Friendly people, clean place, and great prices. The first time here and I will definitely be coming back here.

Their coffee is really good and the people are super friendly. I unfortunately had a bad experience ordering their quiche (on 12/31) I asked (and was told) that the quiche was vegetarian and had only spinach and cheese, after digging into it at home discovered it contained ham :( my dog really enjoyed it though! read more

Thank you fo the most delicious quiche I have ever eating! The Mochagrandha is has rich, smooth, flavors. The employees are filled with light and loved. Thank you for starting my day off with love and care. read more

I been living in Truckee for 4 years now and I'm happy to say that I finally found my coffee spot. I'm a huge fan of the basic Vanilla Latte but this one is magical. I can't explain why it taste so amazing but the blend of their coffee beans and oat milk meshes extremely well. I have to give a shout-out to Beau, who constantly makes my coffee with love, as you can see from the photo. The entire staff is super friendly and always wish you nothing but good vibes. Nothing beats that on a sluggish morning. I can't say enough about this place but my experience has always been a 11/10. Check it out! You won't regret it. :) read more

Would not go here ever again. I try and support the other smaller coffee shops besides the giant but I will go there before here again. I wrote this on the square app so they could see it ....Vanilla latte was great but the small was practically a Dixie cup. Nitro cold brew was awful 3 people tried it. Customer service was non existent. The response I got from the store was I should tip better than 12% even if I get bad service. All I expect for customer service is a simple greeting or can I help you. I just got the person looking at me like are you going to order or what. This was there response...(I spoke with the girls that were working with me, and neither said that they recall seeing anyone giving the universal "I'd like to speak with someone look" that normally kicks our customer service team into gear. ) I am not a person that usually writes reviews or makes it public. That is why I responded on the square app because they asked for an opinion. I instead got a lecture on how to be a better customer, to tip better for terrible service, and wording like this ..If you insist on doing business with small service , I would suggest in the future--, all telling me how to be better consumer. Ohh the design on top of the latte was cool. If that's why you drink coffee. read more

My friend brought me here after a day of errands, we needed a pick me up and got there before they closed at 2:30. We met the roaster, nice guy. It's a beautiful space, and the coffee is delicious. Handcrafted you can tell with a lot of experience. We bought a bag, after enjoying our ice coffee and Americano in the shop. This will become one of my regular places. And I am excited to gift my coffee enthusiast husband, a bag of this coffee. Mexium read more

Super nice staff. If there's a line outside it might be for the bread place though. The roast for their latte could use a little more flavor. And you'd better like whole milk because there's no skim milk. read more

Boy oh boy can these guys roast coffee beans. Incredible! This is none of that overly roasted super dark stuff. It has NUANCE, lemme tell you. I came in one weekend and had an excellent conversation with the barista. Nothing better than an early morning chat over a fresh cup of coffee. Truly! I try to buy a pound of beans every time I'm in town...my only gripe is that I can't always get there while they're open! Ah...tough. Now to figure out how to get my hands on another pound of beans... read more

The cortado was fantastic! Get it in a glass, so beautiful and tasty. Really glad this place made it through COVID. Always friendly and helpful. read more

Ralph's roasting is the best! Pacific Crest Coffee Co. is my go to place for a smooth cup of coffee. Ralph is really talented at roasting and his woodwork in the shop is outstanding too! Then there's Beau, the master barista, who is excellent with conversation and lends his talent to the paintings on the wall. Pacific Crest CoffeeCo. is a quiet place to read the paper and gaze out of the big windows! read more

The Hubs and I stopped here while in Truckee for the weekend. When we travel, the first thing we look for is fantastic coffee. Well, we found it. Not only does this place have the BEST coffee we've had in a long time but also a wonderful, friendly staff. The coffee wasn't bitter, so so smooth and gave us a major pep in our step. Thanks for the great experience we will be back! read more

The best coffee and service in town! Love these guys! They have become like family, such a wonderful part of our community. The best coffee, service, and beautiful artwork! And they are super friendly with kids and dogs, which I really appreciate too! read more

Making a cup of coffee is one of my favorite parts of the day- from bean to cup, it's a bit of a special ritual each morning. When we travel, we are always looking for local roasters, so we are feeling super lucky to have Pacific Crest so close to home! These beans are roasted with such loving care, and it shows in the results-simply delicious. The space is bright and airy, and showcases beautiful wood reclaimed and repurposed by the owner/roaster himself. Each component of the business is super thoughtful and hand made, right down to the stamped bags! Super impressed. read more
