As a long time resident, I remember when Tahoe House was an actual dinner house restaurant. Somewhere along the line, they decided to make it an awesome coffee house, bakery with a Bavarian flair and specialty market, and it’s been a must stop at, go to place ever since. Recently they’ve spent some time remodeling; updating the facade and making the spot more wheelchair accessible, but it still has the same great coffee, sweets, sandwiches and other various noshes to please every palette. Sporting an offering of specialty wines and their own signature brand of relishes, dressings and sauces in addition to tasty treats from around the world, it’s a great place to find those hard to find gourmet items in addition to grabbing a hearty sandwich to take on your local travels around the lake.
Hang out in the sun in front of the building, grab a seat by the window – and on cold, snowy days, sit on the sofa by the fireplace. Featuring free WiFi, you can check on your email, have a meeting or get some work done on your laptop while you sip a warm cup of joe.
Be sure to get a Sacher Torte to go or the addictive raspberry pockets, among many other goodies.
Tahoe House is located at:
625 West Lake Blvd, Tahoe City, CA
530-583-1377

Hours are from 6 am to 4 pm Sunday through Thursday
Friday and Saturday – 6 am to 6 pm

Nothing says summer like the return of the Farmer’s Markets to the Sierra. Sure, the highlight of the Farmer’s Market is an opportunity to find fresh from the farm produce as well as a variety of other food products, but it is also a great social occasion.

Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon, or not at all ~ Harriet Van Horne
.
I’ve completely got the ‘entered into with abandon’ part down. In fact, I’d edit the phrase to wild abandon. I am admittedly a very messy cook. Good. But messy.
Fortunately for me, and other foodies and cooking enthusiasts, there is a veritable two story Mecca for kitchen gadgets, unique entertainment wares and various do-dads close by. Dubbed a toy store for adults, the Cooking Gallery in Old Downtown Truckee is just the place to find every conceivable culinary tool or hard to find gastronomic item. As I belong to a gourmet group, it’s my first – and usually last – go to place to find some tart pan, custard cup or ingredient required by an obscure recipe I’m cooking that can’t be found at the usual suspects (the grocery store).
