    Look, you can see the lake from here!
    Pam H.

    Tahoe Natural Cafe has become a great stopping off point on my walking tour. It's a great place to grab a cappuccino which is what I did recently. Met a friend for coffee and enjoyed the wide open concept of this cafe. They have outdoor seating but don't expect a lot of ambiance with that. Still it's a great place to have a cup of coffee as you gaze out at the parking lot and veterans parkway. I haven't been too drawn to order food but need to try something on their "specials" menu. The staff was very pleasant and had no problem pouring my cappuccino into a porcelain cup. I don't usually order coffee out so was worried... Beautiful place. Next time I'll order food!

    Real Tahoe Turkey
    Helen A.

    A very unique restaurant with a healthy menu full of veggie loaded sandwiches, fruit smoothies, and healthier Mexican food. I was surprised that this is located in connection to a gas station, car wash, and convenience store. The Tahoe Turkey was a great sandwich! I enjoyed the hatch chile and it was not spicy at all! However, it appears that everything comes with a side of tortilla chips as the default side. While I understand it is a very cost efficient side, it felt a little off for a deli turkey, cheese and veggie sandwich.

    Great little spot if you're gonna go ahead and get gas, you can swing around to the other side and get yourself some healthy eating. They have indoor and outdoor dining a little play area for the kids and the food is healthy. Go check it out.

    Sausage Breakfast Special
    Apryl B.

    This place was super cute and very gluten free friendly. At first I was hesitant because it was located next to a gas station but, as soon as you walked in, you would be impressed with the design and view of the mountains. They offered a lot of healthy options from food to juice. The staff were friendly and they had a lot of seating available inside. It's also very family friendly because they have a small kid section in the corner. Great spot for lunch! Definitely recommend!

    Cob Salad!
    Tamami T.

    After a walk around the marsh area, we saw the sign for this place on a new (I think) complex, so we decided to give it a try. We both wanted a salad. Their cob salad is really good size, great protein portion -- really enjoyed it. The place is clean, comfortable, bright, noise level is low. The staff is friendly. Perfect breakfast/lunch place. Was not crowded around 12:30 pm on a weekday. Really enjoyed the visit!

    The inside is very clean, nice, and open. It's a great place to actually work from if you can do some things remote. I enjoy the outdoor seating as well when it is nice out but there is traffic noise. Staff have always been friendly. I like their open face bagel breakfast sandwich thing (don't remember the name). In general, food is fresh with a healthier twist. I usually get a chai tea with oat milk. It's okay, not really special, I think more their juices or smoothies would be the way to go for a more special, unique drink experience.

    First! I ate here when they first opened a few years back---LOADED NACHOS and two beers---$14; nachos were made on the spot with refried beans/beef/ cheese...yum! More recently I have breakfast there post-run (on the wetlands path just South of their location) The Breakfast sandwich is my favorite with fluffy-egg goodness; sliced tomato; turkey sausage, cheese aaaand avocado slices. Edgar the Manager is low-key and FRIENDLY! Coffee rounds out a great breaky. potatoes instead of chips would be better

    Protein Blast , The Big Salad & carrot cake muffin
    Amber K.

    Sooo happy I found this place! I wanted a healthy and quick option for lunch while running errands. So I stopped by and I'm so glad I did! I got the big salad and protein shake plus a carrot cake muffin to go Can you guys please open a spot in Northlake Tahoe?! We need you!

    Breakfast Special
    Chris H.

    This really feels like a hidden gem. But it's right out in the open inside of an amazing service station with a great convenience store. But the stand out is the food here from Tahoe Natural Café the quality of ingredients the inventiveness of the menu all of it is a real stand out and anytime I'm in the neighborhood, this is where I go to get my lunch or my breakfast. Highly recommend.

    The Nachos at Tahoe Natural Cafe are huge.
    Elizabeth S.

    Stopped by for some coffee, after a long walk on a cold, windy day. We are so fortunate to have this place in South Reno and the service is always great!!

    Tahoe turkey shared..
    Amy O.

    4/30/25- So happy to place a pre order online! Went with the Tahoe turkey and decided to try the ugly gooey excellent nachos.. Arrived on time and checked in at the counter- Got my order and off I went-.. Sandwich filled with lots of turkey and the ingredients are perfect-.. Took off one star because part of the nachos were burnt-.. Not too bad but the price was more than the sandwich--..

    Menu
    Megan A.

    This was my first time here and I'll definitely be back! We took a few minutes to browse the menu and the gentleman taking our order was kind and didn't rush us which was nice! We ordered a bacon breakfast burrito and a mother's macro cookie for the kids. The cafe itself is so aesthetically pleasing and the seating and toys in the kid area were entertaining for our kids. The food was made fresh and delicious. Can't wait to come back!

    Huevos Verderas Rancheros (to-go)
    S B.

    Clean and bright environment with an extensive menu. As a flexitarian, I always appreciate meat-free options. Ordered the seasonal Pumpkin White Mocha (which tastes absolutely amazing) and the Huevos Verderas Rancheros. The portion was friggin huge- definitely sharing size. The only suggestion I have is that they cook the potatoes more. Everything tasted super fresh! Can't wait to reccommend this place and go back!

So strong that a headache kicked in immediately and only drank 1/4 of the cup. Also got a matcha cloud which consist of coconut water and a creamy matcha foam. First sip, sweet and creamy. Barely tasted the matcha. For pastries we got the chocolate croissant, pain suisse and a Kouign Amann. The Kouign amann was different, it was in a shape of a bar and had multiple flaky layers. Tasted like a palmier cookie. Everything was delicious. The lines can be long and we were told if you just want drinks, walk next door to Perenn Grocery and they can make the drinks quickly to avoid the lines. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

Years back my husband and I wanted to try them out but we went in on a random Saturday morning and they were closed. My dad was admitted to this hospital a little over a year ago but I was not able to try it, so it was time! The first thing I wanted to try was their breakfast! I walked over to the ready made selections and I assumed it was just like regional where the only thing they offered were premade. Since I assumed, I went ahead and tried their sausage and egg English muffin sandwich, which is my go to at regional! After I paid I noticed there were a group of people to the side waiting for their orders. I looked to the right of the cashier and I saw they had made to order omelettes! I was bummed I didn't see that in the first place or else I would have ordered it! The price of the sandwich was about $3.50 and the omelettes were $3, which is a great deal! The breakfast sausage english muffin sandwich was similar to the one I regularly eat at Regional, but I don't think they butter the bread here, which is good on my heart and arteries! It's definitely something I would recommend to try! I am so used to picking up Starbucks at regional that when I ordered my sandwich I decided to just get drip coffee, which wasn't labeled. I then I realized i should have just made coffee in my office but it was ok, it did it's job! During the lunch hour, my husband, who's office is about a block away, decided to join me and we went straight to the menu to the right of the cashier. Everything was priced great! I ordered the tuna melt with fries and he ordered patty melt with onion rings. Both were priced pretty good, about $3 for each sandwich, the fries were $1, and onion rings $2. My coworker told me the quesadillas were good as well! The sandwiches and onion rings were hot and fresh but the fries seemed like they were sitting there for a little bit, but they were battered similar to flowing tide fries! Still yummy! Both times I went throughout the day, they offered a small cold section with salads, fruits, yogurt, and a refrigerator stocked with bottled drinks. They didn't have a soda fountain available. They also had an area for snacks including slim Jim's, trail mix, etc. condiment packed were stocked and I was glad to see they had cholula offered which is a change from Tabasco at regional. Next time I do want to try the made to order foods that they offer! This makes me miss the made to order ways we had a regional. I had the same cashier both times and he was so sweet, all smiles and was so welcoming! The tables were limited but it was like a well oiled machine; as soon as people were done at the table, they got up to make way for others to sit. I really like that the area was well lit with big windows to let natural light in. My husband and I were reminded of being at a hotel. I grew up eating hospital food since my mom was a nurse for 24 years so I never look down on cafeteria food. The quality isn't what you'll find at a 5 star or a Michelin star restaurant, but if you're at the hospital and hungry whether you're a guest or an employee it's worth it!
