It was about 20 minutes of wait time before we got a table which was a bummer for a week day. But everything else was nice. Comfortable seating, friendly staff, food good and atmosphere cozy. It's beautiful to come to this area in October. The aspens are a vivid yellow.

One of my favorite spots for lunch and a beer in the Tahoe Basin, particularly after riding a bike or cross country skiing through Hope Valley. The head chef and hostess, Letty, makes a stop here especially fun. Letty makes delicious pies, cookies, hamburgers and Tacos, which you can wash down with beer on tap from South Shore Brewery. Letty also makes the best french fries (IMHO) in the area. I would travel up from Lake Tahoe just for the fries and a fun conversation with Letty!!

Never again!

So sad to see what has happened to one of my favorite spots in Hope Valley for over 20 years. The Hope Valley Cafe was one of the best bakery/sandwich shops. Yes, it was recently taken over but that’s no reason the “resort” can’t find a decent baker and gourmet sandwich chef. Even have a local area baker deliver. Today, I purchased a pumpkin scone which was very expensive so I thought it would be like it use to be, delicious. Not even close it was gross. It was like eating cooked bland dough, no flavor at all! No love into baking that, baked with hate even. Not anything close to what this place use to be like. We have given it a couple different try’s the last 12 months hoping it would get better after the pandemic. Nope. It’s like going into a deserted cave with no life. Very dark. There use to be a great store with local art, photography, groceries, seasonal items, fishing stuff, etc. Now it’s depressing, only ugly clothing that no one will buy. I guess the spirit of the place was the awesome baker that was there forever… The “pie lady of hope valley” is greatly missed. The lady that worked for her I believe has taken over and can’t bake and is rude and mean. We were surprised she was still there truthfully. it’s sad to see what has happened to such a great spot. I really hope Management reads this and wants to get it going again, locals can help! Lol I would even Manage it! 😂 just saying find someone that cares. You can tell it’s not cared for like it use to be. We won’t be going back until next year hopefully it’s better one day. Still hoping I guess. (Posting this review on other sites)

First time here. Unfortunately, little was open other than the espresso stand and minimal snack bar. However, it exactly met my needs at the moment and the mocha was very good!

Stopped to stretch my legs after several hours of motorcycle riding. My hamster bladder was about to explode and I needed to use the restroom. It was brought to my attention the restroom was for paying customers only. So I paid the restroom ransom of $3.00 for a chocolate chip cookie.

The pies are my favorite, but they have so much more(even ice & fishing supplies).

Wow.. Pretty heartbroken over the changes they made to this cafe. This was my favorite stop on my way home from xc skiing or Kirkwood... They stripped out all of the artistic character and charm it used to have and replaced it with an empty, cold bar lounge vibe with some shelves stocked with gas station products. Two stars because the employees were nice and I enjoyed my banana bread. But I will not be returning.

I used to love.this place. I haven't been in town in years. I brought my friend here and was so excited to share it with her. The food is still pretty good, but the service I got last time was a joke. The woman "serving" us was so rude that my friend and I couldn't stop laughing out of disbelief. $4 for the burnt heel of a loaf of sweet bread. I won't be coming back.
