The Dam Cafe - Tahoe City

Good healthy little breakfast spot. Tasty coffee and friendly staff. One vegan and several vegetarian options. Expensive like all restaurants in this area.

I think the atmosphere kind of influenced my review. Seemed cramped for inside seating. Pricey.

Great spot! Food is ready quickly and the folks working there are great, very friendly and accommodating. Had breakfast there almost every day of my trip!

We were so happy to find a place that opened up at 6am! The coffee drinks were delicious and the service was fast. The sandwiches they serve are premade and cold, but they have two microwaves for heating.

My family rented bikes and rode the trail from Palisades into Tahoe City and stopped at the Dam Cafe for a late lunch. We dropped in right before closing but the staff was gracious and the food was fabulous despite how busy they were. They had a gentleman outside playing music and he chided me for not clapping enough. I would have been upset but he was super nice and talked to us between songs. What did we order? Mostly smoothies and coffee and it was all very good. I love the ample parking and convenient location. I also love supporting local businesses and this one is a good one.
