What People Are Saying

"Finding a good breakfast place in North Tahoe was a bit of a challenge, but we came across this spot and decided to give it a try. There was a long wait — around 30 to 40 minutes — but it was absolutely worth it. The atmosphere was cozy and full of character. The restaurant is set in an old post office, so there are fun postal touches throughout — vintage weight scales and large stamp prints on the walls add a unique charm to the space. The food was delicious and plentiful, definitely great value for the money. I ordered egg whites and later found out there was a $2.50 surcharge that the server didn’t mention. The staff seemed a bit stressed and straightforward, but given how busy it was, that made sense. The crab cake Benedict was excellent, and the French toast was also very good. The only downside is that there’s just one restroom for everyone, so there was often a line. Still, overall a wonderful breakfast experience — highly recommended!"

"Stopped by on our most recent Tahoe trip after receiving a recommendation. Cute little place. The food was great. Our table ordered lunch and breakfast options and they were all well made, fresh and tasty. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Only issue was the staggered food arrival at the table left some people with no food and those with eggs not wanting to wait for fear of everything getting cold. Enjoyed the music that was playing too! We will come back."

"This place was a great little gem. There were five of us and we all had a great breakfast! The gravy for the chicken, fried steak and biscuits and gravy was excellent. It's rare to find a great gravy. Usually it's too bland, but not here. Staff was friendly and attentive. Definitely looking forward to having breakfast or lunch here again!"

"Are you looking for a classic breakfast served by friendly staff waiting to refill your coffee mug? This is the place for you! Got the post master special to share with my friend, which was perfect because portions are generous. The waffle was perfectly golden, soft yet crispy edges. Perfectly cooked over easy eggs. Quick and friendly staff, thank you for a delicious breakfast. This is your classic diner style breakfast, my favorite."
