Amazing coffee, mimosas and food! Stopped in 3 different times on our vacation. Parking is tight so we opted to walk or use the Lime scooters around town to stop by. Staff is very friendly and the art work is beautiful! Would highly recommend.

Went here while exploring the South Lake Tahoe area. We read about this place in a magazine and figured we should check it out. The food and service was great. The staff was really friendly and the food was quick. The butterfinger latte was delicious and you cant go wrong with their omelettes or burritos! I am giving this a 4/5 because parking here is horrible!!!!! If you go, go on a Monday when the business next door is closed and you can use their parking lot (we did and didnt get towed but possibly you still can). Just as a heads up. Or get take out!!

It absolutely overrated for the present time. Quantity and quality is way way way below average. I know something wrong when I came around lunch time and only few people there. Similar price you pay here can get much better in other place, where can make you feel full when you walk out of a restaurant. Dont even deserved One star!!!!!!

Great local place for coffee and brunch! Give it a try if you want something quick & simple and not fancy or gourmet. Disregard the entitled and high expecting 1 star reviews.

This place is a gem in South Lake Tahoe. I would recommend getting there early as it gets busy. They have an array of coffee drinks and so much food!! Also great flavored mimosas. I had the butter beer latte iced and it was delicious. Also tried the breakfast crepe and loved it as well. Our party also had omelets and the banana pancakes were to die for!! This place is walking distance from Lakeland Village. I would recommend this place for all your morning needs will in South Lake Tahoe

Had the breakfast and Nutella crepes, very tasty, good portions. Good cup of coffee and good, friendly service. Also, very nice artwork on the walls. Only complaint, which may be a pandemic holdover is paper plates and plastic silverware, but not a big deal. Give this place a try!

Amazing little hidden gem located right off Lake Tahoe Blvd (50), tucked in just west of Ski Run Blvd and east of beautiful El Dorado Beach. As if the large breakfast menu doesnt give you enough delicious options to choose from, their long list of flavorful coffees, mochas, and lattes will not disappoint!!

Two pieces of french toast with blueberry compote; $12French toast sandwich with two pieces of french toast and an egg, bacon, and a slice of havarti cheese; $12So I ordered the sandwich and asked for everything to be separate, and a side of the blueberry compote. They wanted $15 for this. I guess its an extra $3 for a side of the blueberry compote and just putting everything on plate instead of constructing it into a sandwich.I was looking forward to trying there homemade french toast, but never got there.What a joke😂

Younger sister raves about this place and decided since I was in town I would finally try it out. Got a classic breakfast, a Nutella crepe and a specialty latte. Loved all of it. Very friendly staff, polite and welcoming.

There is a reason this place asks you to pay before receiving your meal. Our family chose this restaurant due to the positive reviews that were previously left, and we were beyond disappointed. All of the food we received was under cooked, under seasoned, and, overall not what we were expecting for their prices. Additionally, all of the food is served on paper plates and our mimosas were plain Cooks champagne, lacking any of the blackberry that was in the description, and was served in tiny plastic flutes. A server did ask us if wed like anything re-made, but when everything is wrong, it is pretty much pointless. I had them re-make my sons undercooked potatoes, so that at least one of us would be full when leaving. I highly suggest trying another place for breakfast.

Had a wonderful cup of coffee plus one of the Cowboy Hoagies. The bread was ultra soft and there was enough meat on this sandwich to feed an army. COC is one of our favorite places to eat and get a great cup of coffee when we are in south lake. You wont regret it.

Hidden gem in South Lake Tahoe. If we could give more than 5 Stars we would! From the beautiful hostess, to the attentive waitress and the incredible chefs, a superb establishment! We had a delicious breakfast there on Saturday, October 12th. The Chilaquiles were incredible. The chef knows his stuff. Full of flavor, crispy and just the right amount of spice. Absolutely incredible! My husband said they were the best hes had, besides my mamas that is.We also tried the sweet delicious Rum French Toast that was heavenly. Made with pound cake slices for a moist texture without being soggy. Filling & satisfying. We shared it, and still couldnt finish it. Tasted just as good the next day, Im happy to say.I had The Cowgirl Hoagie which is made with turkey sausage, bacon, cheese, ham and a fried egg. Genius! All melted together and full of flavor, makes one amazing breakfast sandwich. Must try.All in all, A Cup of Cherries is a must try in South Lake Tahoe. It closes at 2:00 pm, giving you plenty of time for a late breakfast or brunch.

We try to eat local when vacationing, I love supporting local businesses. The people outside had no masks on, so we went in unmasked to see if we could a table or place an order to go. We waited for the customer in front of us be seated, unmasked, stepped to the host who then refused to talk to us, because we werent wearing a mask. When she refused to serve us we asked if we could place an order to go, her reply was no because we would have to wear a mask to pick it up, As waitress delivered food to the couple sitting outside with masks.

This small restaurant had some great breakfast food with good coffee. The Nutella crepes were good, of course but other more healthy options like the protein roll were also well done. Something for pretty much everyone on the menu.

While staying in South Lake my friend was keen to get some crepes for breakfast, and A Cup of Cherries was conveniently just across the road from where we were staying.The woman at the front register was very welcoming and patient while taking our order. And when asked if we could get a towel to wipe off the wet table outside she went out of her way to run to the back, get a towel and wipe down the table for us, making sure the whole table was dry for us. She really went above and beyond for customer service.The Mexican mocha I got was quite good, with the right balance of sweet to spicy, and was served very quickly.The Rum French toast I got was about average, but satisfying. It had a good consistency and flavor, and it wasn’t too sweet, which I prefer for a French toast. The additional blueberry syrup/sauce was a nice touch which helped elevate the French toast.I didn’t get to try my friends crepes, but they said the Nutella and strawberry crepes were delicious.

European, Asian, and Mexican fusion. An impressive claim - the dishes really work! Try the Chile Relleno plate, the Singapore delight, or the Protein Daikon roll - eclectic combinations were perfectly cooked and tasty! Traditional breakfasts and crepes are also delicious. Kid friendly. Staff were super nice and helpful. Almost forgot that homemade habanero sauce - wow!

The coffee is by the cup; its good, but not incredible. They have a lot of espresso based drinks with lots of flavors, if you like that type of thing. The omelet was...an omelet (nothing special). BUT...the Viet sandwich is out of this world. Literally, one of the best breakfast sandwiches Ive ever had. All the different flavors work so well together. My rating is based on that. If you go here, get that. For me, its the only thing on the menu.

Review №31

Warning, dont actually have cherries, refers to coffee beans in a cup.They have a variety of foods with an eclectic take on many of their dishes ranging from Mexican, Singapore and vietnamese etc...Coffee was excellent, although I asked for iced and they brought hot. To be fair I didnt ask them to fix it, I was already drinking it. I had a breakfast sandwich which was very satisfying. Warm soft bread on outside, crunchy bacon on the inside.Staff was very friendly, I can see why its popular.

Ordered a tahini panini and the mumbai latte. It was mouthwatering and so so delicious. Would definitely recommend to anyone around here. Its a small nice place and totally worth a visit. There were not too many people like other busy places so you can hang out and enjoy.

Went here for breakfast and I picked the rum soaked french toast with a macchiato. I was given the regular french toast, which was floppy and bland. The berry compote it came with was good though. Macchiato wasnt great and it came with dairy milk when I asked for oat.Parking lot next to the cafe is busy. Prices were okay. Food was made very quickly and came out to us soon after ordering, even though it was busy.

Wow! This place is very yummy. Im visiting from OR and came here for breakfast.ordered the chilaquiles en salsa verde with egg super good and got a Mexican spice mocha not to sweet which I like. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They made good recommendations they kept checking up on us. They were being clean and following covid regulations. Will be back during our stay, its walking distance from our hotel!

Good food and friendly service. Only 4 stars instead of 5 because charging over $4 for a medium cup of brewed coffee to go seemed a little steep.

Review №39

Had a bad experience with ordering extra sourdough while having breakfast. Salt, pepper and sauces comes in small packets which is very inconvenient. Getting box juice instead of fresh one for $4.50 is not worth it. Overall had really bad experience. Also had really bad stomachache after easting a little bit. And paying tip before even sitting down is also strange since the service wasn’t good.

I was visiting tahoe and was craving a sandwich and salad and found this cute shop on yelp. I saw all the promising reviews and photos and decided to call in an order. It is close to the lake, but is a bit further from the more crowded shops area. They had a little parking lot next door which was really convenient. The shop is pretty small, but it seemed a lot of people were ordering to go when I came. Their menu is pretty extensive, with lots of fusion items that I was a bit wary of. Some items are a bit pricey, but most of their stuff is pretty reasonable. I would recommend looking at their menu on their website because it is pretty long. We ordered the Viet Hoagie and bad boy panini. We saw that the viet hoagie was really popular and was not disappointed. We liked that a small salad came with the sandwich as well. They also have a lot of different coffee drinks that I would love to try in the future. I would highly recommend this place if youre visiting tahoe soon.

We were in Tahoe for a girls weekend. We consulted the internet for places for breakfast. Driftwood Cafe seems to always be one of the first things to pop up, but the line there is always long and weve eaten there before. Its just ok. We came across this restaurant that was also very highly rated and decided to check it out.We are so glad we did!! The menu on the wall has nothing but creative Chai, lattes, and other amazing hot drinks.The menu has everything from traditional breakfast omelettes to crepes and rum french toast.We had a pumpkin spice Latte. Others had a butterbeer and I had some hot tea.Even the traditional breakfast of bacon and eggs was delicious! But the crepes. OMG! This one is ham, eggs, havarti and a béchamel sauce.Nutella crepe with strawberries, bananas and pecans. Seriously? Yes! And rum french toast with a blueberry compote. Our waitress was awesome. She was very attentive and on top of all of our needs while we created another food coma. She even left us with this adorable sketch on our check.And as we turned to leave, I snapped a pic. She was still on it and flashed us a quick peace sign.We will definitely eat here again. The food was amazing!!

This cute little place is great for breakfast or lunch. Their menu includes a full espresso bar with many delicious options along with a variety of breakfast options, such as omelettes, breakfast sandwiches, pancakes, crepes... you name it. They also have a great selection of lunch items that look fantastic but weve only been here for breakfast so far. They have some beer & wine options too. What distinguishes it from other places is the quality of their ingredients and their friendly service.For those that require gluten free meals, like my husband, rest assured that they have some very yummy options here and they will take care of you. But gluten free or not, you will have a healthy, delicious meal here with fresh ingredients that are locally sourced and you will enjoy the hospitality of the servers. This place is a must visit every time we are in town.

Very yummy coffee and breakfast sandwiches. Tastes fresh and definitely comfort food. Great atmosphere and our server was very sweet. You can choose to take out or sit and eat, I recommend to sit and eat! Prices are up there but it’s worth it for what you get. $22 for two breakfast sandwiches and two double coffees, plus tip.

Visiting from New York, this was the best breakfast I had the entire time I was in California. Though the Staff seemed a tad bit cold compared to the other restaurants we visited in the area. Th food came out speedy and incredibly delicious. I ordered and Highly recommend the “Chilaquiles and Island Pancakes.” the Chilaquiles reminds me of a dish I had while I was in San Diego from an Authentic Mexican restaurant, it was incredible. Secondly, the Island pancakes, are HANDS DOWN the best pancakes I’ve ever had in my life. Those are a MUST.I tried a piece of the omelette quesadilla, I must admit it to was very tasty and the spicy sour cream is like no other sour cream i’ve ever tasted. If you visit tahoe, you must visit A Cup of Cherries.

Cozy place with friendly service to have breakfast.Parking is a little snug but if you can park, you will enter a great place to start your day.The breakfast crepe and the classic breakfast was pretty standard but the Mexican Spice Latte is recommended. Its apparently a latte with cayenne pepper and agave. Its one of those places that presents their lattes in a big cup and we pull out our cameras before sipping. Ill definitely be back to try other popular lattes.I much prefer A Cup of Cherries over Driftwood Cafe which is hectic with a lot of vacationers.

Really really bad. Rum French toast, huh don’t bother, no flavor, bland. No warm syrup, toast is made on a panini press came to the table cold. Butter was cold, so clearly did not melt on the toast that was also cold. Coffee, Mocha’s pretty good but didn’t make up for the food disaster. My advise is go somewhereelse.

Review №62

Would have been five stars for the food, but the service was not good. They wouldnt let us order coffee or bring water until the whole party arrived and its not like they were full, and there was no wait either, the server just said the owner wouldnt let her do beverages because we would finish before the others. I said I didnt mind but they still refused. Super rude and just plain wierd. The island pancakes were awesome, but next time I will order to go.

This place is absolutely AMAZING! If you are in the area this is where you have to go! The service is just awesome. Everyone is so nice and friendly and takes the to.e to talk and connect with you.Their coffee menu is to die for. And there menu, it was an I teresting mix of food options. But, I must tell you both of our meals were fabulous! Next time I make it to tahoe we are going their again.I took a few pictures. Not enough. You will see a picture of my breakfast. It was their chilli relleno breakfast special, it was absolutely amazing! My boyfriend got their banana pancakes with banana and coconut shavings and pecans and an icing of sorts drizzled on top with a side of bacon for his breakfast. Those pancakes were delicious! I also ordered the Strawberry fields coffee and my boyfriend ordered the Butterbeer.Overall fabulous. I would recommend this place to anyone!Thank you to cup of Cherries for an unforgettable experience!

A couple of things:- We were told that they will let us know once there were available seats (since it was full when we came in). We were waiting by our car (just outside the cafe) and no one came to let us know. We just decided to go back in after seeing a couple of people coming out and the we found that the cafe was now completely empty. The receptionist just apologized saying she told someone to let us know but really didnt check if it was actually accomplished 🙄.* We still ordered since we already waited and we wanted to give them a chance to redeem themselves.- We ordered the following:*Mexican Mocha Cafe - sadly the menu name was more interesting than the actual drink. There was really nothing special about the blend. The flavors werent there.*Banana Pancakes - nothing really special. Just pancakes with banana slices on top. The bacon pieces with it were perfectly crispy though.Overall just a very bad experience in this place. There were definitely a lot of other cafés in Tahoe that well keep coming back to.
