Long long line 8/16/26
Emily A.

If my order had been correct to begin with it would have been 4 stars, but when you merely scrape off the topping that I ordered without, that is completely unacceptable. You have no idea what allergies people may have. ---- so arrived around 10 am on a Sunday to a line out the door, it took about 25 minutes to get to the front. I ordered the breakfast tacos with no pico and no guac repeating that I just wanted the meat cheese and egg, and the woman taking my order repeated it. The receipt reflected the correct order (no pico, extra cheese, etc) Food came out approximately 15 minutes later and I opened the styrofoam box to reveal pico de gallo plopped on top of my two tacos. I immediately told the guy bringing the food out that they weren't supposed to have pico, and he took them back. He then called out the tacos no pico pretty quickly and I took them outside to my table, opened them... seeing cilantro and some onions leftover. So, you just scraped it off? I'm just so shocked at this. I understand it's busy but you cannot cut corners like this. I paid for this meal so it's very confusing. My husband then took them back and brought out the correct tacos. These tacos were good. Pulled pork, eggs, cheese. They didn't skimp on ingredients. The homemade corn tortillas were great. As I said, it would have been 4 stars had they not thought it was appropriate to just scrape it off the top. I DO think it would be worth it to give them another chance, it is clearly a popular place. Dog friendly patio.

Tree House Burrito ($13)
Rachel L.

Not the worst but definitely quite underwhelmed. I had the tree house burrito which comes with a choice of either bacon or sausage, eggs, tater tots, and cheddar cheese. I chose sausage as my meat, and the burrito ended up being 80% egg, 10% sausage, and 10% cheese and tater tot. The flavor is on the bland side and the burrito was also so oily. They give a side of salsa for free but it just tasted like tomato sauce without much flavor. The eggs were at least very fluffy and cooked well. The workers are very friendly here. My food took about 10-15 minutes to come out. The inside of the shop is small but cozy, and they have a few spots outdoor. Also the small beach next door is a nice spot to enjoy your food at. Overall: 2.3/5

lots of breakfast burritos
Jocelyn S.

Cute little cafe in North Tahoe with great breakfast burritos and decent coffee. Great vibes in there from the staff. My group shared a bunch of burritos - bacon, sausage, tri tip (+$1), and brisket. But my favorite was brisket because it was most flavorful. Tri tip was surprisingly bland. Bacon and sausage were solid. They put yummy tater tots inside that were perfectly cooked - crispy outside fluffy inside. We also got pico de gallo and guacamole on the side. The guac was more citrusy which was perfect to cut through the heaviness of the burritos.

Quite busy on a Saturday brunch. My party of 5 found seating in the backyard patio. We shared 4 burritos: bacon, sausage, brisket, and tri-tip. Our favorite was the brisket. The tri-tip was interesting because it wasn't smoked and didn't have that bbq char taste. It felt like it was boiled and unseasoned. We got guacamole and pico de gallo on the side which was the move because it added more acidity and flavor to the burritos. Also got the hot chocolate which didn't have much chocolate flavor and was very watery/milky.

There was a very long line to this place but went extremely fast. All workers were on it and very kind at the same time which i love! The waffle was really good and my boyfriend enjoyed his plate. Also I ordered a chai latte which was okay but not bad. There are many seats spread in the front of the cafe, inside, and in the back. I loved the decorations too!

When traveling especially in popular tourist places, it's always a toss up between something that is good and overpriced or something not so good and overpriced. Well, at the Tree House Cafe, you can have something good and at a fair price We were visiting Kings Beach for the afternoon on a whim and other than drinks weren't really prepared for lunch. This place's menu looked good plus they had outdoor and patio seating since we had our dog. It was hot out and they allowed well behaved dogs INSIDE with the cooler air. I had the loaded tater tots with creamy Mac and cheese topped with brisket. My son had the tri tip sandwich. The portions were large. I split my tots with my wife and we still had to take some home. My son only finished half. Anytime you order tots, the base has to be crispy with potatoe-y insides. This place delivered on that, plus the mac and cheese added a level of creaminess that paired well with the savory brisket. The brisket was BBQed with out too much sauce, this allowed the smokiness of the meat to come through and not be overwhelmed by the other ingredients. So overall, a winner in my book. I can't honestly say anything about the sandwich because I didn't try any of it. Maybe next time. But if facial reaction counts. My son was smiling .

Sausage breakfast burrito

Breakfast burrito slappedddd, soo good. Ate it after a long run and it hit soo hard. Brown sugar oat milk latte also good and almost croissant amazing. Loved this place

Staying next door and I've got to say, the coffee and pastries are fantastic. Iced vanilla latte, cinnamon roll, blueberry puff pastry, breakfast burritos, all 10/10. Great morning stop before the beach!

Coconut matcha, yum!
Janet S.

Shared the breakfast plate with the hubby which came with 3 scrambled eggs, tater tots, sausage and toast. It was an ample serving but the tots were room temp. Also got a spinach croissant which also would have tasted better if it were heated. Enjoyed my coconut matcha.

Nice place we're staying at the motel right behind with less than a minute walk. They have weird hours on Monday so watch out for that pretty friendly service and good coffee and comfortable seating.

Burritos, biscuits & gravy, coffee, sticky bun

Long line expected for a Sunday morning on Labor Day weekend. Inside feels welcoming and cozy. We ordered coffee, burritos, and a pastry. They were out early of their two pumpkin special drinks, but the cinnamon latte and honey & hazelnut cold brew were great. The burritos were ok, but the tater tots made them a bit too greasy; other than that, they tasted good. The biscuits were dry even with all the gravy. Now the sticky bun, that was definitely the highlight. It's got nice caramelized pecans. We were fortunate to get a seat on their back patio, so we were able to try everything there and then.

Solid cup of coffee! I got a hot white mocha on a snowy day and it totally hit the spot. It was not to sweet. Some of the mocha sauce went to the bottom (happens at any shop, no problem) so I stirred the drink. Service was super fast and I barely had time to admire the Christmastime lego scene featured on the table inside. There are so many details to notice! I'll be back next time I'm in Tahoe.

Ordered a breakfast burrito with eggs, tater tots, bacon, and sausage and there's barely any bacon and no sausage at all in my burrito. They kind of ripped me off when it comes to the meat. It's mainly all egg in the burrito. Quality is good tho. Pretty bland and unflavored.

What hurts it is it's basically the only coffee shop in kings beach and they are just way too expensive. I live here, and I can go to any place on the west shore and get similar coffee for 2 dollars cheaper. So I don't really go here much because I don't want to spend $6-7 on a coffee and &$13 plus for a coffee and a croissant. In comparison, Tahoe house bakery is at least $3-4 cheaper for a coffee and a croissant and similar quality. Maybe it's not anyone's fault, it's just my reality

We met some longtime friends for dinner last night and it was relaxing and tasty! We started off with some robust drinks and apps! Ahi Napolean was the highlight with the BBQ/Spicy prawns coming in a close second. Three of us ordered the Lemongrass Ginger Brick Chicken and it was tender and juicy with just the right amount of Asian spices. We all raved YUMMY!! My wife had the Rack of Lamb which she enjoyed and I got to sneak a couple of bites...tender tasty. My friend's son had the Grilled Ribeye which was massive and oozing with juice. The Finale! Dessert is never an option with my Sicilian taste buds so Tiramisu and Pistachio Cheese Cake sedated and cleansed our palates! The overall dining experience was good as we sat outside on the patio with a perfect evening and no bugs in site! It was fairly busy and the servers were definitely having to add a couple of steps in their service. It's a beautiful spot almost on the lake and if you're a golfer, Old Brockway GC is a stunner and has some great history to go along with the perfect greens. Enjoy!

On top of that the hostess was incredibly rude.

Inside seating was mainly stools along the front window with excellent views of the trees and water. I really liked that there was a central coat tree where you could hang your heavy coat, especially with the limited seating. Some tables outside as well for sunny days. Interesting menu that blends standard breakfast with some healthier add-ins like quinoa instead of rice. Food tasted fresh, supporting their goal to serve natural, organic, and local ingredients. I opted for the Sunrise Sliders, and had no complaints. I particularly liked that the pretzel buns weren't too dense and didn't overwhelm the other ingredients.

The interior is nice and cozy (and warm), with light reggae music playing in the background. There're only two tables; the rest of the seating is VERY comfortable bar seating. With two walls of windows showing beautiful Lake Tahoe views--plenty of trees and the lake itself--there's plenty of morning light coming through. I was happy that they were serving smooth Laughing Dog coffee--a favorite. And the food came out quick and delicious, with a nice crisp on my burrito wrapper. The menu is limited, but what they do they do creatively and well--the quinoa in my burrito went great with the eggs, beans, and sausage, and they told my wife they were experimenting with their already creative pretzel bun sunrise sliders by adding pesto--a perfect extra optional touch for her.

Here is what we noticed: - Our reservation was at 5:30, the time they open, and a bunch of people arrived all at once, but they quickly seated us all - They only serve beer and wine, but their wine list was really good and bottle prices were very reasonable for a restaurant. - Our server came over pretty quickly despite so many people arriving at once. - The menu is pretty broad with lots of different options, and there were many other specials as well. - My wife and I ordered the rack of lamb and the fettuccine with shrimp with added scallops. Both dishes came with complementary soup first. It's difficult to say which dish we liked more since both were excellent. The bread and hummus on the table was a welcome addition, and was especially good for sopping up the wonderful sauce from each dish. - We got tempted by dessert and opted for the bread pudding with a side of homemade ice cream.
