This was the perfect spot to grab food after hiking or biking. I got the Rancher Salad but turned it into a wrap and added blue cheese. It was so tasty and VERY filling. We could have split it, but it was great. The line...Read More

⭐️ Five-Star Review for Tunnel Creek Café – North Lake Tahoe ⭐️ Tunnel Creek Café is hands down one of the best breakfast spots in North Lake Tahoe! ☕️🍳🥞 The coffee alone is worth the visit—they offer a variety of options, and everything is brewed to perfection. 🔥 I had a breve cappuccino that was expertly made ☕️✨, while she enjoyed her coffee with alternative milk 🥛(almond or oat, I believe). So many options to choose from! 🎯 #CoffeeLovers ☕️ #BreveDoneRight #CafeVibes For breakfast, she had eggs over easy 🍳 on avocado toast 🥑🍞, topped with fresh arugula 🌿—a simple yet delicious choice. Meanwhile, I went all in with the Grand Slam All-American breakfast 🥞🥓🍳🌭—loaded with sausage, bacon, eggs, and pancakes! 😋 We even ordered extra bacon 🥓🔥 because, well, why not? Everything was cooked just right and absolutely hit the spot. 🎯💯 #BaconForDays 🥓🔥 #BreakfastGoals #FoodieLife The atmosphere here is another reason to visit. It’s rustic and full of character 🤠🏔️, with that classic Tahoe charm. We sat beneath a giant pair of bull horns 🐂⚡️, which definitely added to the wild West feel. 🤩 Plus, being so close to what used to be the Ponderosa Ranch 🌲🐴 brings that old-school Tahoe nostalgia to life. Such a cool spot! #RusticVibes 🤠🌲 #TahoeHistory #PonderosaThrowback ⚠️ Heads up—it can get hectic on big holidays 🎄🏔️, but Tunnel Creek Café is absolutely worth it. Whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee before a day of adventure 🏕️🚲 or sitting down for a hearty breakfast, this place delivers! 💯🔥 Five stars all the way! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #BreakfastInTahoe 🏔️☕️ #TunnelCreekCafe #FoodWorthTravelingFor 🍽️🚗💨 Over the years, I’ve done thousands of reviews, but for one reason or another, many never made it online when I originally wrote them. I’ve got them saved on my phone, so as I come across them, I’ll be posting them here and on my social media. If you enjoy my reviews, please look me up on Google Maps, give a like, a follow, and a share. Thank you! 🙌📍⭐️ #FoodieReviews #TravelEats #SupportLocal

Delicious food, warm atmosphere, friendly service Adjacent to the parking for the East Shore Lake Tahoe Trail, the café offers picturesque views. It’s an ideal pit stop during your Tahoe adventures.

Stopped by the cafe on our around-the-lake drive. Quick and easy ordering which saves time. Fun atmosphere. I had the BLT, it was tasty. My husband enjoyed The Hot Sierra Burger with smash patty, bacon, cheddar cheese, grilled onions, Jalapenos, and BBQ sauce. Sorry, forgot...Read More

We bookmarked our hike to Monkey trail with this cafe, that was always bustling with families left n right. For a place that is as bare bone as they come, run by what looks like local kids, this joint couldn’t be more efficient and …

The breakfast was amazing, I got the breakfast sandwich and was so good. You could tell that it’s all made fresh. They are fast about getting the food out so it’s not a long wait. Generous portions that left you feeling full and not a...Read More

Chef Evan is really doing amazing things at Tunnel Creek. Last Friday night, town felt relatively quiet but we still wanted to get out of the house so scooted down there and were warmly greeted by the staff. We knew we wanted the ramen before...Read More

This was the best spot that my wife and I had lunch at during our trip to Lake Tahoe, it has a cool rustic vibe. There is plenty of seating available, we preferred to sit outside to enjoy the surroundings. A burger and cold beer...Read More

Stopped by Tunnel Creek Café while in Lake Tahoe and tried the Big Bleu Burger—absolutely worth it. The beef was juicy, the blue cheese added the perfect tang, and the crispy onion rings sealed the deal. It’s the kind of burger that hits after a...Read More

Breakfast was great and reasonably priced. We went here twice on our trip to Lake Tahoe. We loved the breakfast sandwich, French toast and coffee. Service is fast as well since you order at the counter.

French toast may be the best ever. The hash bowl was amazing, and a lot of food for the price. Awesome outdoor seating. Expect to stand in line right at 9am. Highly recommend!
