Ernie's Coffee Shop

Good coffee,great freshly squeezed orange juice. Omlets and hash brown were nice and pancake was also decent. Avocado toast felt more like assembly of ingredients. Overall vibe was pleasant. It was crowded and we had to wait for 30 minutes to get in.

We had yummy breakfast from here.The quality of food was really good. They have a really good menu. It's difficult to get a seat there. Expect minimal 1 hr wait time

Incredible service and food. I don’t know how anybody rated them less than 5 full stars! Paul’s Classic omelette and French toast were just incredible—the taste was full and flavorful 👌🏼 cappuccino was legit too, now I know what a real cappuccino is!

The coffee is really good so it keeps us coming back every time we're in slt. The food is hit or miss. I've had a really bad meal here and I've had an okay meal here. Overall it's a decent place to get breakfast in south lake.

Very clean and friendly staff, nice touch where you sit with cups ready for coffee to be poured into. You can also buy grain/bean coffee bags to go (which we did) I was recommended the “moyete” and was not disappointed if you love chorizo, potatoes, jack cheese AND Avocado!!! Look no further! Ask for the salsa on the side and that also will not disappoint.

Food was amazing, we went in on a Sunday and it was pretty busy. Staff was friendly but busy. I got the Mollete and it was fantastic. I'm a huge coffee lover and they have a "bottomless" coffee, but I only ended up drinking about one and a half cups because the servers were so busy, I had to wait awhile for a refill. Not the servers fault, weekends are busy. I'll definitely eat there again. My kid loved the mickey pancake!

Loved Ernie's! First time here , been living in Christmas valley for a few years now. Went as two moms and two toddlers. We were made to feel so welcome and they had a great selection of seating options for kids. Our little ones had a blast colouring with the crayons and menus the staff gave to us. Food was good, I really enjoyed my breakfast and my daughter devoured her Mickey mouse pancake. The atmosphere was lovely, it didn't feel awkward to be there with our little ones who were not misbehaving but joyfully shouting hi to each other and anyone who walked by. The serving staff were really friendly, kind and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely come to Ernie's again!

Pro tip, stop reading this review and just go. During our two day stay in Tahoe we ate at Ernie's twice. Let me start off with the parking lot: ample, easy to find, and right next to a cool shop with beautiful carvings. Vibe once you walk in is immaculate. You feel like you are wandering into the kitchen/living room of the cool cabin your friends hooked you up with. The decor is really beautiful and the vibe just feels super homey. Each server/host we interacted with was attentive, friendly, and helpful. We had Judy's veggie scramble, Denver omelette, and two egg special and avocado toast. We legit got the same thing the next day and ate it in the car on our way back home to SF! The online ordering was super easy and it was ready before we got there! We feel very lucky to have found what will most certainly be "our spot" for breakfast the next time we are in South Lake Tahoe. Thanks to the entire Ernie's staff for being so kind to us and for making such delicious food.

Breakfast was okay, server was attentive, place was not busy and clean

The breakfast at Ernie's was really very good. You will find rush on weekends where the wait time is 20minutes on an avg. The waffle and ice cream, the scram with beans, rice and tortillas was tasty. They have lot of options and I definitely recommend!!!
