Tahoe House Bakery & Gourmet

This place is awesome. I had the Sausage, egg, cheese, and spinach burrito, it had big pieces of sausage & eggs. A blueberry and cranberry muffin that was perfectly balanced, with the sweetness of the blueberries and the tartness of the cranberries, it was soooo soft and delicious. A pastry that was tender and baked perfectly. A Mocha iced coffee, great flavor. The line was long, but it moved quickly. It was worth the time. I recommend that you make the time too, you will not be disappointed. I can't wait for my next visit.

On my way up to Owterbuilt's cabin with a bear autoloading disqualifyer because his cabin has been bearsacked for the 8th and last time...and stopping at the Tahoe House Bakery and Gourmet Shop is a must do! What a great place, full of the very best things in life. I especially enjoy the pies, specifically the savory pies...5 stars without even trying! ☆☆☆☆☆

This is my kind of place. There are so many amazing, well crafted, healthy, delicious meals and dessert options. Their attached grocery area was wonderful also. Stocked up on snacks for our trip. The dining area was super cute. Ate too much, took more home.

This place is simple fantastic! We come here each time we visit Lake Tahoe. And are never disappointed…unless they’re closed. Good food that’s always fresh, baked daily, and the people are always so kind. Eat here; you’ll love it.

Earliest coffee you can get closest to the Palisades, which is why I had to go there. What a treat it was, the lady who worked there I believe is probably the owner was so sweet tucked to my boyfriend, and I by the fireplace and gave us a freshly brewed cup of coffee. Just for the fireplace and the cute cabin alone I would go back. Also the lady or whoever owns it makes all their own products and they’re delicious.

While biking in Tahoe City, we found this place on our map, and what piqued our interest were the pastries. We did arrive well past breakfast time, so we ended up getting sandwiches for lunch. The team member handling my order was very helpful, as I don't normally go out for sandwiches. I asked for her personal recommendation, which she suggested her go-to sandwich combination: black forest ham, but I can't recall the bread of choice, but it was delicious! A quick and quaint spot to drop by if ever in the area.

Fast, friendly, family own, nice to support family ran business with fresh, homemade wonderful salads, sandwiches, and wonderful baked goods. Chocolate croissant was fabulous as well as the turkey sandwich. We stopped here on a tour and its wonderful to support a great place. Cinnamon roll and garbonzo bean salad were also great!

No parking available. No big tables. 2 people with laptops hogging a table for 10 people. 1 person with laptop hogging a 4 top Half the people here are work from home doing work in the restaurant. Service was excellent Food was tasty.

I love this place so much! Definitely a great spot made for locals to get healthy food close to home. 10/10

Tahoe House Bakery & Gourmet in Lake Tahoe is a solid 4-star spot for breakfast and baked goods. Here's what I experienced: Great for Pups and People: They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and the outdoor area even has a special spot for dogs to relax and get some water. This is a big plus for pet owners! However, be aware that parking can be tricky. The lot is small, and the place is always busy, especially on the weekends. Busy But Worth It: I went at 7:30 am on a Saturday, and the line was out the door. There was a bit of a wait (around 5 minutes), but the service itself was very fast. A Mini-Market of Deliciousness: This place is like a one-stop shop for breakfast and treats. They have a huge variety, including frozen food, wine, grab-and-go options, bagels, all sorts of breads, pastries, beverages, and even cakes. It's a bit overwhelming at first! Solid Eats and Helpful Staff: Luckily, the staff was super friendly. The lady helping me noticed I was a bit lost with all the choices and offered some suggestions. I ended up getting a jalapeno bagel with cream cheese (they have a toaster where you can toast it if you want) and a chai latte. The bagel was delicious, although I would have loved to see more spread options beyond cream cheese. The chai latte was also decent, especially compared to some other coffee shops in the area. Reasonable Prices: Overall, the prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. The staff's helpfulness and the wide variety of options make this a great spot. Just be prepared for a potential wait, especially on weekends, and keep the parking situation in mind.

Great bakery to stop at when you're in North Lake Tahoe. The chicken pot pie and cinnamon roll are deelish. It can get crowded, and parking is limited, so get there early.

Get the chicken pot pies! The flakey crust and delicious chicken and veggie filling makes this pot pie a winner! You can get the pies ready to eat or take them home frozen ready to bake in single serve or family size. They also offer numerous delicious looking desserts and sandwiches. In addition to the pot pies we enjoyed a moist carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. There's a cute indoor dining area and outdoor seating area as well, but we took ours to go. Parking is ample out front and we had no trouble fitting our RV van. This is a popular place, but don't be discouraged if you see a line, it moves fast!

Food was good, service was very cold. I get it, places like this don't like tourists and they're only really friendly to locals but my friends (5 girls) and I felt their cold service right away and so boldly that it was very off putting and we just wanted to leave. It was all women working when we came in on a Saturday afternoon and we all said the same thing about them all seeming like they were in a bad mood. Some of us experienced them walking away from us while we were still asking a question or talking to them. I don't know, maybe they don't enjoy their job or they don't like tourists but it was an unfortunate experience because we were all really excited for the chicken pot pie. The food and baked goods were delicious. We all got personal pot pies, we heated them up at home but they all ended up falling apart when we tried to take them out of their little cups. None the less, it was so good. If I ever do decide to come back, I hope my experience is better than the last.

So awesome! We went right when they opened, and there was already people waiting in their cars. Had the breakfast burrito and a cinnamon roll to go with some coffee. We will be back!

Friendly atmosphere and seems popular but didn't have to wait long for anything. Latte wasn't great but I was absolutely thrilled they had a few vegan baked good options! They have vegan cookies and a blueberry muffin. Muffin was smaller than I'd like but hey, I was just stoked to see there were some vegan options!

Wonderful gem of a bakery and gourmet shop. Selection of espresso coffees. Charming place to enjoy your selections around a cozy fire. Don't miss 2pm Happy Hour for 1/2 price goodies!

English muffins are fantastic. Full of flavor, some seeds, thick and perfect for Eggs Benedict. Blueberry muffin has a yummy cinnamon taste. Cinnamon bun kind of disappointing. It is just bread dough with a little cinnamon. Not soft or fluffy. Try the English muffins! The cakes look gorgeous. Will be picking up a cake this week.

A fantastic spot for a swift breakfast with grab-and-go vibes. Highly recommend trying the Gruyère cheese and ham pastry. However, I'd pass on the meatloaf sandwich - the bread was too hard, and there was an excess of mayo sauce. It was a bit disappointing that they don't toast the pastry; instead, they suggest using the self-service microwave. The staff is friendly, but note that parking is limited.

Stopped in for early lunch. They have a few breakfast sandwich options and burritos (which you heat up in a microwave inside which kinda put me off from that). They have deli style sandwiches but elevated with amazing fresh bread. We each got a 1/2 sandwich and soup combo. We tried the ciabatta roll and sourdough roll for our sandwiches which were both really good. The soup was cream of mushroom and also really good. The service was friendly and quick. I tried the cannoli cake which was okay, not the best and not the worst. We also tried the coffee which was also okay. There are a lot of other things to look at and/or shop for inside including wines, canned goods, soup and meat pies to go, etc... it is definitely a great place to grab a meal and some to-go items for later. They do also use sustainable containers for soup and cakes.

So many delicious breakfast options and the service was very fast. I loved the cold brew coffee with a squeeze of honey and teaspoon of light brown sugar! Favorite coffee in the Lake Tahoe area.

This place has a special place in my heart. Their sandwiches are delicious, the coffee is always good, the pastries are so good and fresh, and I am greeted with kindness every time i come in. I've been coming here since I can remember being able to talk and I have never had a bad experience. I also love that there are plenty of seating options in the cozy dining room. 10/10

A breakfast sandwich normally comes with eggs. This one you had a specify, ask for eggs ?super confusing beyond a long wait for a simple sandwich.

For me Tahoe House is the best bakery around Reno/Tahoe! I really like their products and quality. Very professional and friendly service. I wish I would live right by there. Thanks for all you do for us!

Super yummy pastries and coffee! Love this place so much and will definitely be returning!

We stopped by for some coffee on the way out of town. The service was quick and helpful. The bakery items looked delicious and the seating area looked like a great place to relax.

Lots of yummy delicious options from sweet to savory! And a perfect place to get some work done as they offer free wifi. The workers are always friendly and everything is always so fresh. The croissants are buttery and flaky, the raspberry pockets are my all time favorite (buttery flaky and oozing with raspberry jam topped with a little bit of icing), bacon cheddar scone (microwave for a few seconds and it will have you taste buds dancing, fluffy and yummy), breakfast croissants sandwiches are always a good go to, l love the ham cheese and scrambled eggs one! The sandwhiches are pretty big for the price and loaded too.Overall this is the perfect place for breakfast and lunch, you will not be disappointed!

Visited this gem on the West Shore this past weekend. Pecan streusal cake and almond biscotti on day 1. Both delicious. Day 2 back for almond biscotti,delicious coffee,egg and sausage croissant, Jalapeno and cheddar bagel and antipasta salad for an afternoon BBQ. Great system here to pick up your sandwich and cook it yourself at the microwave. Excellent breakfast croissant. I loved the bagel. Lots of jalapeno and cheddar. The salad was a hit at the BBQ. Check out the grocery items in the side room. Lots of fun items. Nice seating areas inside and outside. Definitely check it out when you are at West Shore Lake Tahoe. Worth the stop.

It's been at least 12 years, 20+ visits and many calories later! I think it's time for me to update this review of Tahoe House Bakery & Gourmet Best place to stop when you're on the road or if you're in the area looking for a take home meal, try the prepared meals over at Tahoe House. They also make sandwiches that is fit for any meal; breakfast, lunch or dinner. My all time favorite is their croissants. Nuff said

This is a favorite every year. Meatloaf sandwich is amazing. We ordered aSumner Cake for my wife's birthday. It was beautiful and absolutely delicious. Light, sweet and creamy. Ever had leftover cake for breakfast? We did!

I'm not sure I've ever had an English Muffin like the ones at Tahoe House. Exorbitantly tall, seeded and really really fluffy, these muffins are the things that bakery dreams are made of. They'd be perfect for a Benedict of any type, although it seems a shame to cover these beauties in hollandaise. They are flavorful enough in their own. Note that there is a 6 muffin per person limit per day so plan accordingly.

Stopped here on our Tahoe trip to grab coffee and breakfast. Saw some great reviews on yelp and was also recommended by the receptionist where we were staying. It was around 7.30, but a good number of people were already there waiting for their food. It's big place, but the dine-in area wasn't opened when we were there. The decor and the ambience is very nice. Grabbed couple of coffees, sandwiches and croissants. Their service is top notch. Greeted with a smile. Asked about the choice of beans when I ordered coffee. Also left room for milk as per request. They mentioned that their sandwiches are cold, but they can warm it if we need. It only took around 5-6 mins and we were on the way. Coffee was medium roast and just about right for us. Sandwiches were good, it was fresh. Croissants were good too. We requested for hot water in our flasks as were about to start our return journey. They did that happily for us. The parking is a problem, had to wait for a parking more than we spent in the store. Other than it's perfect. One of the best in Tahoe city. very much recommended.

Had one of the best tuna sandwiches in my life! We were just visiting Tahoe for the weekend and Tahoe House made it super easy to grab sandwiches on the go. We called in our order for pickup and it was ready a few minutes later. Tuna salad was heaped on a huge French role with fresh avo, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, and cheddar cheese. Still sad I didn't get to pickup another sandwich for the ride home to the Bay

Wonderful store, and bakery and the coffee is fantastic. Great ambiance and patio available.

Ok so I would give this place 5 starts , because I loveee their pastries so much , the raspberry squares are my favorite thing in the world , however the last time I went it was fairly busy and I was waiting in line and it was my turn next and I was walking up to the counter and the lady goes no not you they're next and yells at me and so I go back to my spot in line , feeling super uncomfortable , and then she goes well actually it was your turn , and so I'm super uncomfortable at this point because one this lady was so rude and two because other people had like seen her yell at me . Anyways the other workers are usually super sweet and are always welcoming , their food and coffee are both good , but maybe they either need to update their order taking skills or just be more patient , because this experience was a bad one for me .

If you are cool with getting a pre made breakfast sandwhich that you are then expected to microwave, then this place is for you! Definitely not for me. Not delicious but passable maybe? My wife got the coffee and said "absolutely terrible. Burnt gas station coffee" Breakfast sandwiches are affordable at least! This place is super busy and has an incredible selection of baked goods. Nice atmosphere. Apparently the locals here are into it so that's cool.

The line looks intimidating but it's fast, even if it's all the way out to the parking lot. Trust me, I don't like to wait for my morning coffees either but I promise it's quick. The chicken pot pies are legitimately delicious. Grab yourself one to heat up for later, the crust and filling is one of the best. Especially in the winter evenings, after a long day of being on the slopes having a warm pot pie to fill that belly is comforting. I like everything at this bakery, the coffee is smooth and strong. The to go breakfast burritos and sandwiches are easy when you have kids for a fast meal. The microwave they offer to heat your goods is greatly appreciated. They also just have a bunch of different groceries and frozen foods as well. Head on over and grab some breakfast, lunch and desserts!

Visited this side of Tahoe for vacation and made an attempt to stop by this bakery daily as it was just that good! Their savory and sweet pastries are so good that they would have something for everyone. I really enjoyed the chocolate croissant as it was like no other but everything I tried was great! People working behind the counter were super friendly and helpful with explaining what was inside in some of them. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating along with designated areas you can tie your dog up safely. This place is a definite must see if your in the area.

I love coming here when I'm at my home away from home. My go to is either the black forrest ham sandwich with gruyere on a sour french roll or the half caesar salad/half sandwich (of the same). I cannot leave here without a couple of rum balls, and I'll grab some French Kisses as gifts for friends. They do have a day old shelf at good prices. I've gotten some great loaves of bread or bagels there. I've never dined in, but it does look cozy. Parking can be tight in busy hours, so be respectful of others when parking.

Their macaroons are delicious and second only to those at Model Bakery in Napa. The ham and Gruyère cheese croissant is large enough for two and I usually bring it back to the house to pop in the toaster over for lunch that day and have the leftover half for breakfast the next day. I appreciate that they use a thick slice of a good quality ham. I'vr had it a bunch of times and only once was it a bit fatty and grisly. It's simple and delicious! The service is generally friendly and the line moves quickly, so don't let that turn you away. I appreciate that I can purchase select grocery items here to take home.

Our community is so fortunate to have a bakery of this quality. Family owned, Tahoe House is a favorite of Tahoe residents and visitors. The wide selection of baked goods, gourmet products, and lunch offerings, as well as a friendly staff makes them my go-to spot for delicious treats!

We always have pizza and soup at this bakery. It is affordable and food quality if good.

Tahoe House is one of or favorite lunch spots. Their sandwiches, soups and salads are always so fresh and delicious. We love the fresh baked breads and wide assortment of bakery goods. It's convenient to order at the counter and the service is prompt. The restaurant itself has the feel of a woodsy Tahoe lodge and we sometimes sit inside or on their outdoor patio. Before we leave, we always check out their nice assortment of specialty items prepared there you can buy in their market area.

If you are looking for the BEST bakery in the Tahoe are, you can stop looking now. Oh my goodness is this a good bakery. Plus it is also a little store with tons of goodies! I got a ham breakfast burrito (they serve them cold and in plastic wrap, with the option to microwave it there before you go). This burrito was so, so simple and yet so, so good. I also got an oatmeal cookie and let me tell you about this cookie - it was DIVINE. I could not leave it alone. My latte was also great! This place was so good that we kept joking about going back for every subsequent meal! Only downside is parking - if you come when it is busy, you will not find a parking spot. I suggest biking or walking there if you can!

Great selection of coffee and baked goods, along with quite a few savory dinner and lunch options. You can't go wrong with any of their breakfast or lunch options, although I will say their croissants are to die for. The staff is efficient, so even on busy mornings you are in and out fairly quickly. There is both indoor and outdoor seating.

We grabbed sandwiches and a slice of cake for a picnic lunch on the beach. There's not too much one can say about sandwiches, but I really enjoyed mine. I ordered a simple turkey and cheese sandwich on a whole wheat roll. The quality of the ingredients (meat, cheese, bread) was very good and the size was substantial - I tend to have a pretty good appetite and was worried about not having enough to eat, but this was plenty. My gf and I also split a slice of cannoli cake. I really like cannolis and she really likes cake (and most other sweet things, to be fair), so this was a good compromise. The cake was remarkable, light and fluffy with a sweet (but not overly so) creamy flavor. It was a warm and sunny day and despite the milky centerpiece of the dessert, this was still both delicious and refreshing.

Sisters Barbara and Caroline do such a great job. Simply the best bakery and gourmet kitchen condiments and treats on the West Shore, if not all of North Lake Tahoe. Plus the coffee there has such a unique aroma and taste not duplicated anywhere else. Go there if you've never been. You'll not be disappointed...

Everything was delicious, especially the Pecan Streusel Coffee Cake. Very friendly service and nice local vibes.

These sandwiches are our go-to. Big and filling. Great value. Delicious. Bread is fresh and tasty. Easy 5/5. They also have other provisions that are also high quality and delicious. The only downside is the number of tasty pastries is too tempting.

Annoying and inaccurate help. They have the cash register half way to the pastry counter with one line. I stepped around a whole 2 people to see what they had before I ordered and the gal behind the counter gave me a wicked dirty look. Sorry I wasn't born knowing your menu! Of course the woman behind me took my place while knowing full well I was looking to speed things up. Then she placed her filthy bare foot kid on the counter to the great joy of the person who was offended by me scouting their goods. To top it off the woman at the cash register gave me the wrong pastry as she only listened to half the order. There were hardly any people in the store! Also, all the regulars come in the exit

Great soup and roll combination! Also took home a crunchy baguette and 2 coconut macaroons! Will be back in the future Staff attentive and pleasant. Nice seating area to enjoy our meal.

Be prepared the one single line is long. However it move pretty fast. It is worth the wait.

Love it! Great breakfast pastries and coffee. Parking can be difficult on weekends. Usually a small line but service is very friendly and efficient. Everything we had was excellent except for the chai latte which was tasteless and over diluted with milk- but I give this a pass because all the other coffee drinks were excellent. Overall a very worthwhile stop!

Absolutely delicious sandwiches! From the bread to the ingredients were so good! I ordered the pastrami with swiss on rye and it was incredible. This is such a great place for lunch!

What the... Is that Hershey's syrup in my mocha?!! DECOR: Part gas station, part bakery, part small shop in the hotel lobby. There was a lot going on. It was packed with things to buy and little room to move. PRICE: $7 for a large excuse for a mocha. DRINKS: The worst mocha I have ever had in my life. I had no idea it was made with Hershey's chocolate syrup. That's not a mocha. That's hot water and chocolate syrup. And it tasted worse. FOOD:: I bought some cherry gummies and these things were the freshest gummies I've ever had. They must haves gotten the first delivery because they were so good. Had to wash down that Hershey mocha taste with something and the universe provided a sweet surprise. STAFF: So nice and deeply apologetic about the drinks that they themselves said they don't like. EXPERIENCE: My gf and I need coffee on this cold day up north with snow on the ground. We find this little bakery on Yelp except we are only here for the coffee and a mocha. My gf goes inside too get the drinks and comes to the car with this disturbed look on her face. She tells me of her catching a glance at them flooding my cup with this Hershey's chocolate syrup and said she didn't know what to do, but to just bring the drink because she was in shock. I thought that was the right move because I just had to taste it. But I was not ready for how bad it tasted. I knew it wouldn't be delicious, but I never tasted anything with Hershey's syrup that tasted that bad and I played truth or dare in the 90's. I can't believe they actually serve that stuff. However, because the staff was so freaking nice, I have to give 3 stars. But I don't think I'll ever be back for the beverages. I will try the baked goods since that was Yelp says they're good for.

How can you call yourself a bakery when your cinnamon rolls taste and look like you went to a grocery store and bought them back to sell? Terrible.

I some here regularly for two things: Chicken Pot Pie - 5 Stars, delicious, I always try to keep 3 of these in the freezer for a cool evening that just needs an amazing dinner. It's the best of Tahoe comfort food. 2 for 1 Bread 30 minutes before closing: One of the best food deals at the Lake. My favorites are the Sourdough, the Garlic and the Rye. They are famous for their dark brown "Squaw Bread" - it was called that for years and I don't recall the more politically correct name they use now. Both of these are straight up 5 Stars. Lots of folks go for the coffee. I have been disappointed by their sandwich board. I have ordered a couple over the years and never been particularly happy with them. If I exclude the sandwich board and stick to my favorites plus consider thee assortment of specialty foods in the pantry, I have to give them a 4.8. By the way, the prices on the pot pies have gone up quite a bit this year but they have to cover rising costs somehow.

FAVORITE place to eat of our vacation! We stumbled across it one morning, only to realize why there was such a long line! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! We came back the same afternoon (they close at 3pm) for lunch, and then again before we left Tahoe. We have already said that next time, we are renting an AirBnB close to this heavenly place so we can eat a super breakfast (to-die-for pastries and cakes) and grab a to-go sandwich for later doing our activities. YUM!!! Super healthy options too, great savories, and decadent cakes/treats. Friendly staff, quick service and all round 10 out of 5 stars!! DEEEELISH! We miss it already and will be back in line as soon as we can!

Great coffee and amazing baked goods. Love that this place was close to where stayed this past weekend.
