Dam Cafe

Nice atmosphere, very friendly staff. Breakfast burritos were small and average at best. Mocha was average. My wife said her latte was good. Cost was high. $40 for 2 breakfast burritos and two 16oz beverages might be the current costs, but I would at least expect larger burritos. Maybe our expectations were too high.

In Tahoe from San Diego for a wedding. My GF is making the cake for today and we were both up early and needed some breakfast. I am glad that this was the only place open because now I found a gem for any time I am back. The staff were all amazingly kind and made me feel right at home. The breakfast burrito was delicious with tons of peppered bacon and sausage.

We had 2 bagel sandwiches (bacon, egg and cheese) and 2 lattes. The bagel sandwiches were best I’ve ever had - ratio of cheese to meat and egg was perfect. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere felt cozy and home style. It was a bit expensive for two bagel sandos and 2 coffees, but I’d go back for the sandwich in a heart beat. They seem to get busy as the morning goes on so if you can, go earlier.

Family cafe, very warm feelings after visiting this place. Good variety of bagels, croissants, sandwiches and tacos i guess (not sure). Great for a breakfast or lunch or just 'grab-n-go'. Coffee also is good (cappuccino, latte etc)

Just ordered a breakfast burrito online. It was ready in 15 minutes. And the burrito...WAS SO DAM DELICIOUS! Best breakfast burrito I have had in a very long time. Almost $15 after taxes and tip and when I got it, it seemed kinda small for that much, but it packs tremendous flavor, very satisfying and worth it. It will be my new stop when I'm up here working. Much dam thanks!

Amazing hospitality and delicious coffee and muffins. We came here out of the freezing rain to warm up from the Tahoe bike ride… you made us feel very welcome and had your electric heaters cranking!!! Thanks. You guys are AWESOME!!!!

The Dam Café is situated right near the creek in Tahoe City, on the corner of an insanely busy intersection. It’s a cute cafe, with a small but adequate selection of expensive (but all the food around here is) sandwiches and smoothies. I had the Neptune Tuna Sandwich- The tuna is made with the interesting twist of grated carrot. I enjoyed the sandwich and recommend the Dam cafe if you’re looking for a casual lunch at small hightop or a table outside.

Top notch food and overall taste at this super cute cafe. You can taste the quality and will feel amazing afterwards. I’m used to feeling somewhat bloated or tired after eating at most places, but here my body felt happy afterwards! My wife and I have tried multiple items on the menu over the span of a few days and you really can’t go wrong with anything! Definitely a must stop if you’re in the area

My friend wanted to stop here for breakfast, he said it's been one of his favorite spots for years. Very unfriendly service, they ignored us for 5 minutes and we were the only people in line. 24 bucks for 2 breakfast burritos(small) and a coffee. He was embarrassed for taking us there, said he would never go back again.

Edit: In order to not be accused of being a judgmental, oppressive, aggressive, and abusive reviewer, I would like to retract my statement of "very unfriendly service" and instead say that I felt unwelcome and ignored. I'm not so unreasonable as to not be sympathetic to the difficulties of running a business during a global pandemic and the challenges it presents.
How am I to know we are waiting in line behind "Virtual" orders if no one tells us that is the situation? I would have felt entirely different if that was the case and mentioned to us. I do not think the Cafe has unethical or unreasonable prices, I just stated what we ordered and the cost. I did give my opinion in the review that it was smaller than I expected.
I wish your Cafe the best of luck in the future and appreciate small businesses in the Tahoe area, I will continue to support them.

Lovely spot for breakfast! We were up early and starving and realized not too many places were open. We were so happy to come across this cafe and they did not disappoint! The ladies working were so kind and friendly and made all of our food and drinks fresh on the spot. Our breakfast sandwiches and coffees were absolutely delicious!
