Jill was easy to work with, and efficient in her process. Very nice!…read more Asked her to do a cake 2 weeks notice, when all other bakeries said they were "booked" out. I didn't have specifics on what I wanted, I just knew I needed a paw patrol cake for my 4 year old daughter. I sent her some photos for inspiration and told her to "go for it". Cake turned out AMAZING. In design, AND flavor. Thanks, Jill! Will definitely be ordering from her again.

None of the other cake shops in Tahoe were returning my calls, but Jill picked up. She was kind, professional, and understood exactly how to bring my vision for the cake to life. Having visited quite a few bakeries over the years, I can say they all tend to have a similar overly sweet taste, but Jill's cakes and cupcakes struck a perfect balance of sweetness and texture. I'm genuinely blown away by the flavors she offers compared to the standard options around Tahoe. For any future cakes or cupcakes, she'll be my go-to. Thank you, Jill!

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.

What a lovely find! I had never been to Genoa and it had been years since my husband visited so we…read moredecided to take a drive there when we were in the area. The town is absolutely charming but what caught my attention was Sierra Chef. We made our way to the door and I was immediately in heaven as we entered the building. The store was filled with amazing Italian food items including pastas, sauces, and cheeses. There were chef prepared dinners for you to order to take home. Italian pastries and gelato tempted us. I gave in and ordered a pistachio gelato which was divine. My husband ordered a cookie and espresso which he said was perfectly prepared. I wish we would have had more time at Sierra Chef because we would have ordered more food items to try. The next time we are in the area, we will be making a stop to pick up some tasty treats!

Sierra Chef - Made In Nevada [Genoa NV]…read more I followed the garlicky smell of the savory prosciutto flatbread and our noses led us here at this Italian bakery called Sierra Chef. The minute we walked inside the smell of baked pastries, cookies, and sweet & savory treats permeated the store. Ahhhh... Sierra Chef also offers cooking classes for adults and children in their commercial kitchen. Saw a few ladies behind the counter taking the class and having fun at the same time while I perused through the items offered... some fun handcrafted kitchen items laid out on the back table. We were just looking for dessert since we already had brunch across the street at the Flutter & Buzz Cafe. I asked for gelato and chose dark chocolate flavor. Waited while the employee went towards the back to scoop our ice creams. I had no idea how huge the servings were when she handed the cups to me. I should've just asked for one cup to share. It was delicious though. We sat and enjoyed them outside at their outdoor patio. The weather was beautiful and perfect for gelato. Mangia Bene! Review #3734

There's both indoor and outdoor seating, plus a charming little gift shop tucked into one corner featuring unique gifts, including items from local artisans. The building feels modern and well maintained, and they even have a private indoor room that can be reserved for larger groups. The menu offers a great variety of specialty coffees, desserts, sandwiches, and wraps. Best of all, they have several gluten-free options for both meals and desserts, making it a fantastic spot for anyone looking for delicious gluten-free choices. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area. LA Bakery is a wonderful find!

Visiting Carson City for the first time in years, I had really high hopes for this place. When we…read morewalked in I really liked how it was decorated and it had a good vibe. We came for breakfast and we had a very simple order. It consisted of a breakfast burrito, Gold Latte, a coffee and a lemon poppy seed muffin. It shouldn't be too hard to fulfill this order right? Wrong! My breakfast burrito and Gold Latte came out first. The burrito was good and the Gold Latte was also tasty. The woman that dropped off my order asked if we had anything else coming. I told her we had ordered a lemon poppy seed muffin. She never came back. Another woman came over with a muffin but it was blueberry. Wrong again. At this point, we decided to skip the muffin and I requested my money back since I was getting frustrated. No apology either for not being able to get the order right. I love supporting a women owned business but I just found it hard to understand how a simple order could confuse so many people. Perhaps there is an issue between the front of the house and the kitchen?? Maybe it was an off day but it did not seem that way.

I…read moreneeded a cup of coffee and saw this little bluish wooden spot across the street with a bakery and cafe sign , and decided to hit it up on our way back home. This place was packed. They had a DJ in the back playing music and I looked online and saw the photos of the baked goods. My husband went inside and ordered us some frittata and was lucky to get the last cinnamon roll. The frittata was OK needed a little bit more flavor and was not completely warmed up. It didn't have much meat in it more spinach and some onions, but not that great to be honest. Would be better if it had a nice buttery crust on the bottom, but definitely a good item to eat if you're on keto or not wanting to eat too many carbs. The cinnamon roll was absolutely delicious. Everything about it was super tasty. You can't go wrong if you order this item. I got an iced latte as well and it was really good. It's cute inside with some nice none food items for sale. We bought our baby a baby a Tahoe board book. Right before we left my husband asked if he wanted to get a cookie, because he said they were huge lol.... so, we got oatmeal cookies by mistake , instead of chocolate chip. The cookies looked amazing but we hard as a rock . We thought they'd be chewy but instead were crumbly. The cashier was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, the person taking orders was little standoffish after some ordering issues. I don't think putting customer's who have an issue on blast for the whole establishment to hear is appropriate. Mistreatment of customers for such a forward facing customer service position, isn't ok. We appreciate the cookies being comped. We will definitely be back for the cinnamon rolls in the future!
