Cuppa Tahoe

Cuppa Tahoe has amazing ambiance, coffees, cozy nooks, and lots and lots of books!! It's just what a coffee place should be, a place that invites you to read and enjoy a delicious coffee. I had a Brown Sugar Bourbon Latte and it was great, not super sweet. As you can guess, it is very popular but I highly recommend a visit!

Cuppa Tahoe is one of the coolest coffee shops I’ve been to. It offers a mix of indoor and outdoor seating, with funky little corners perfect for reading, working, or just hanging out. The vibe is relaxed and creative, with people on laptops, flipping through books, or chatting quietly. The coffee is excellent, and the pastries were surprisingly good. It’s definitely a hidden gem in South Lake Tahoe—highly recommend stopping by.

i would give cuppa tahoe 25 stars out of 5 if i could. everything about this gem of a bookstore, coffee shop, and co-working space is above and beyond. the staff is friendly and knowledgable, cheerful and warm. their homemade pumpkin spice blend with the excellent chai was the best i've ever had and i was able to find creative one of a kind gifts. the co-working space is unmatched and they have a fantastic process for signing in and out, getting drinks delivered, etc. i would literally fly back to tahoe from my home in portland, Or just to return to cuppa tahoe. don't miss your chance to visit this gem!

Cuppa Coffee is easily one of the cutest coffee shops I’ve ever been to — tucked inside a bookstore, it’s got an incredibly charming and welcoming vibe. The interior decor is adorable and picture-perfect; I could honestly spend all day here just soaking in the aesthetic and snapping photos. The heart of this place, though, is the lovely team of women running the show. They’re warm, humble, and truly care about each customer. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a coffee shop where the staff takes a genuine moment to ask about your day — that kind of personal touch is rare and so appreciated. As for the coffee — it’s outstanding. They offer a great variety of flavors, with the brown sugar latte and strawberry latte being my personal favorites. My husband enjoyed the drip coffee, which was smooth and full-bodied. We also tried the avocado toast and the almond peanut butter banana toast — both delicious. The croissant and chocolate muffin were okay, but I’ve definitely had better elsewhere. One thing to keep in mind: the wait can be long. It’s a popular spot (and for good reason), but if you’re in a rush or hoping to grab a quick coffee to-go, this might not be your best bet. On our visit, it took about 25 minutes to get our order. A few extra hands in the kitchen could really help speed things up. That said, I would absolutely come back for the coffee and the atmosphere. If I’m ever in town again, Cuppa Coffee will be one of my first stops

This was the cutest coffee shop I have ever seen in my whole entire life. Come here and spend a good hour checking out the worldwide curiosities that they have around the store. The drinks were amazing. Customer service was excellent and I ate every crumble of pastry from my plate.

What a cool little coffee shop!

There’s ample seating located both inside and outside of the shop, so you’ll have no issue finding a place to sit.
