This was a really nice little Cafe. Did a little bit of research to find a place to eat within walking distance of Hotel Azure and it had really great reviews already, plus I saw pictures of the turkey melt so had to try it. Thats what I had and it was so delicious.. loved it. Great service, very clean and great staff. Ill definitely be back.
Still our favorite place to eat in South Lake Tahoe. The avocado, carrots and sprouts are a perfect base for their sandwiches. You can get a number or veggie or meat options now. We went with the turkey tahoe, egg monster and classic veggie crunch. All three were delicious. We also picked up the all green and beet zinger for some tasty drinks.
The most delicious tuna wrap/taco I ever tasted. It was super fresh and bursting with delicious flavors. The only thing is its so big, it was hard to eat it without food falling out. Putting it in a full wrap would have made the wrap even more enjoyable to eat. Still would return and try another meal.
The food here is quite all right. ESP on a summer day. Makes me feel like I’m trying to be healthy. Less guilt when I go home and eat a tub of ice cream. But minus two stars because the staff is stoned and service is slow. Plus one star because stoners make good sandwiches and it’s a good way to be.
Want to give six stars 🌟 Upon entering the space, one experiences a sensation of returning home - that’s especially so on a snowy, damp evening. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and all food served hot. I really liked the Classic Burrito - nothing pompous, but the hearty blend of beans, cheese, salsa, guacamole, veggies etc. just made it right - and ask for more sour cream, you want to finish all the chips! The Tuna Melt was a bit dry, but my friend still enjoyed it. Wish every town welcomes tourists with such a place devoted to healthy and delicious food.
One of my favorite places to eat! I miss this place when I am not in Tahoe and always make sure to stop by when I am. So many healthy and delicious options
Sprouts is one of the best restaurants in Tahoe. The food is always incredibly fresh and delicious, and you leave feeling fantastic, not weighed down from fatty foods. Nothing here Ive had is bad, but we always get the Tahoe Turkey with a pineapple smoothie.
Excellent visit. All 4 of our meals were fantastic. So fresh and clean. Definitely stopping every chance I can. A Real gem in a sea of fast food and greasy choices.
You can’t go wrong with Sprouts! Everything I have tried from this place has been wonderful. They have fast and friendly service.
This place is perfect to be at. Food is good. Vibe is good. Staff is friendly. Prices are good too. Everything tasted really good and has a good portion size. Feels refreshing and full after you eat here. A not to miss spot when in Tahoe.
I was here a few days ago and was not disappointed. We where passing by and decided to have some lunch, was a great decision to eat here. I had the nachos, they where amazing, I was expecting to be disappointed by them, but they are something to try here. Ive had nachos at other places and have been disappointed with them. Also had one of their salads, the big salad, and one of the soup of the day that was available . The salad was also good, definitely a big salad. Im not too much for soups, unless I have eaten them before but this soup was pretty good. Staff was amazing, I think their positive attitudes makes this place, one to go back. Definitely going back if Im in the area.
Good veggies and tuna. Bread was dry and prices were high. Ok. Not great. Housemate honey mustard was not good. Very strong. Like sniffing mustard seeds.
This is, hands down, my FAVORITE place to eat in South Lake Tahoe. It’s usually pretty busy but the food always comes out hot and fairly fast. I almost always get the veggie burger. It’s amazing. I also love the kale refresher juice. Definitely stop here during your visit to South Lake. You will not regret it! It’s amazing. So good!!!
Good food and good smoothies. Very busy at all times of the day, so either order ahead or be prepared to wait! Eating area can be a little crowded. Dog friendly outdoor seating.
Literally best place for fresh Apple juice and smoothies. Great food. Convenient parking. Close to beach. Hands down great experience will be returning!
Try the gooey nochos, you will NOT regret it. Huge portions and super tastey
Delicious, nutritious, healthy food. We had the mixed veggie burrito & the Cadillac rice bowl. Both were plentiful & delicious. I’d highly recommend Sprouts & intend to visit again soon!
Delicious sandwiches and smoothies. Awesome VEGAN options. I had the Turkey sandwich, youve got to try it if you are in South Lake Tahoe.
We went right before closing time but they were happy to serve us and the food was delicious. Nice atmosphere inside even with the Covid restrictions. The guy in charge, Chris, was super friendly and helpful to us tourists. Will visit there whenever we go to the lake.
Excellent healthy (and tasty) food options. Seems like they had something for everyone. Consider it high quality fuel before you hit the trails or the lake. We had sandwiches, smoothies, and a wheat grass shot. All delicious!
This place was all the buzz when we asked about vegan and vegetarian options in town. The menu satisfied all taste buds. It is definitely the place to go as it was busy with a continual flow of customers. They are taking precautions to abide by social distancing and you felt safe while getting a chance to order some delights. We ordered the Gooey Nachos and a salad. We ordered to go and then headed up the road to South Lake Brewing. It was a great way to end a full day around the lake. Sorry, forgot to take a picture of the food. Must have been hungry :-)
Always a favorite place I like to come back to whenever in Tahoe... Delicious healthy food options!
Love this place! I came here several times over my 2 week Tahoe vacation. In addition to original vegan choices, they also offer vegan options for lots of other choices on the menu. Try the giant fig bars they have at the register... great energy snack for hiking. Theyre located just 1 block from Crown Beach with many picnic tables and terraces to enjoy the food and view. Im hooked on their Hummus Burro (vegan hummus and quinoa burrito). As you can see in the photos, their food is made very well with pride and craft.
Great food. Great service. Great staff too boot. Highly recommend for those looking for a healthy alternative while in Tahoe !
Never disappoints.... been coming to Sprouts every yr. And taste/freshness constant. Thank you!
Hardly recognized this place from years past, but a wonderful restaurant. Monster salads and delicious smooties
This is my favorite restaurant at Lake Tahoe. I wish they had another location in San Diego, because I’d definitely be a frequent customer. Their food is delicious and wholesome. Thank you!
I got the classic burrito, this was the BEST food I have had in a while. So fresh, so filling!
Always friendly. Really good selection of smoothies, sandwiches, bagels, juices! Fave place in Tahoe ❤
So after reading all of the reviews I was really excited to eat here, unfortunately it fell short in my book. The place is cute, and has a great atmosphere with plenty of seating inside and out. However the food was disappointing.... I had the veggie crunch sandwich, which was good but nothing more than diced veggies between 2 slices of bread. Nothing award winning. We also ordered the veggie burrito... It was steamed veggies wrapped up with some rice, with beans on the side (?) and no seasoning to be found. It sucked. I live in SoCal, I know veggie burritos. The only saving grace was the corn chowder soup, BOMB. So, maybe we just got unlucky with our order but it was nothing impressive.
Our favorite local place. The portions are enty, the outdoor seating is a plus. Menu is very diverse for natural food eating.
Always great! kind of miss the old layout felt more welcoming
Food was pretty good, but was also pretty slow. The place was packed at lunchtime which definitely didnt help but it took ~30 minutes to get a burrito and a sandwich.
FOOD is good! I like their breakfast burrito which is more like an open face burrito. The tortilla chips were kinda stale. Their smoothies are good I had their berry smoothie and was definitely filled with berries.SEATING they have a lot of outside seating in front and around the back corner. They allow dogs. I was here years ago and my husky malamute took it upon himself to get up on the bench table and hang out. The lady didnt mind at all because she has dogs of her own.SERVICE definitely good! The guy apologized for the long wait even though to me it didnt seem long.PARKING can be a challenge. They have some parking out front and around the back corner. Great location a block walk away from El Dorado Beach with access and view of the lake and mountains.
Have visited this restaurant a couple times during my visits to Tahoe, in the past several weeks. I go to Tahoe to get away, gamble and drink a bit, eat some decent food. My food choices dont always tend to be healthy, sometimes Ill indulge with a burger or steak or the like. But Ill sometimes feel guilty, and sometimes dont feel that good if Im only eating rich foods.Anyway, I saw some good reviews for this restaurant, and have since ordered their big salad, a vegetable sandwich, and also a smoothie. And Ive enjoyed it all, their food tastes really fresh and healthy and clean. And the prices are not too high, pretty reasonable.Only advice is that you should place your order online, before you get there, as youll need to place your order online there otherwise. They dont do register sales, during this pandemic.
Great sandwich very fresh and healthy plus veggie and vegan options as well
Vacation. Eating out a lot? Need nutrition? Go here. Amazingly tasty.
Best food and service in South Lake. Only vegetarian options we could find. Great food
So Great!Service, Food, Atmosphere and Friendliness (A+)
Very good! Primarily vegetarian. Great sandwiches, salads & smoothies!
This place is amazing!!!! While staying at the Alder Inn, the owner suggested we try Sprouts for a great healthy breakfast option, and he was spot on! The Egg Melt is so delicious and the atmosphere is great! They have a nice outdoor patio and are just a short walk to the lake! We biked from the hotel and enjoyed our experience! We highly recommend Sprouts to anyone in the area or just passing through!!!!
A quality healthy choice, affordable. Really enjoyed my first healthy burrito. Small unique shops around it.
Very nice place with probably the best smoothies I have ever had!!! Outdoor seating is beautiful.
Delicious food! Turkey melt was really filling. Thick Turkey slices, not the usual paper thin slices youd get elsewhere. A salad with bean sprouts and mustard dressing? Who knew it would taste so damn good?The true gem was the Huevos Verduras Rancheros...Not even Ramsey couldve come up with such a masterpiece.
Try the AYOM with salsa and juces. Try the favorites menu too. Everything is good and a little different than most traditional food joints
Yummy, healthy, nutritious, good portion sizing, great menu
Yummmmm! Crunchy granola hippie food in the heart of South Lake Tahoe. Not cheap food. High quality, organic ingredients and tasty to boot! Highly recommend the ugly nachos, the ATOM bagel (avocado, tomato, red onion & melted Monterey Jack cheese topped with green onions).We are here twice this past weekend and both times cost me about $16-$18 for an entree & smoothie.... because the funky monkey smoothie was SO good that I had to have another one the next day.Outdoor seating has patio chairs & little fire pits. Expect to be tempted to burn things (say... a stray tortilla chip) in the little fire.
The cafe is primarily vegetarian, although it does have an option to add Turkey to a couple of entrees, such as the turkey melt (see picture). Although this place was packed one of the times we visited and were told it would be a 30 minute wait, it took less time.They also serve smoothies and juices I believe. They are located near a block from the lake and have outdoor seating. The staff is pretty friendly and the meals are fairly priced. But the best thing is that it provides an alternative from eating fried foods.Other food items that are good are the kids nachos, raspberry smoothie, cadillac bowl and the half sandwich / soup combo. The sandwich was one with plenty of avocado.I recommend this place. It reminds me of the restaurant immediately at the entrance of Zion National Park in Utah, Cafe Soleil. If you like that place, youll like this Sprouts Cafe too.
One of the Best places to get good food and just sit and relax on their outdoor patio.
Got the tuna melt with a side salad. The sandwich was so good and HUGE! The dressing on the salad was tangy and slightly sweet. Really balanced. Definitely go here.
I went here twice during my stay in South Lake Tahoe. It was so good and I felt good eating it. The first time I went, it was very crowded and you had to wait at least 15 minutes for your food. This was not a negative experience though. They were very up front about the wait time and apologetic. But the food was worth the wait! I love their salads. So many veggies and so much flavor! I wish I had a place like this near me. I would eat there once a week! Cant wait to go back!
Excellent food, many vegan options. Nice portion sizes,affordable. Has heated outdoor seating. Would definitely come again.
Been going here for years. Never disappointed
Great menu and well priced health conscious options, good coffee and smoothies. Stayed 8 miles away and came here 3 days in a row!
Long wait and overpriced. Good food though.
My favorite smoothies come from this special place. The staff is amazing and the drinks always taste consistent. Much love to all yall at Sprouts Café
The quesadilla had a good taste, but the cashier didn’t mention there’s an upcharge for vegan cheese instead of the dairy cheese. The quesadilla also didn’t come with guacamole or salsa. Being charged extra for an incomplete meal felt very shady and unethical. I just really didn’t enjoy this experience at all.
This place was delicious! I had the egg melt and J had the breakfast burrito. The breakfast food is so super awesome and I love the atmosphere. Plus they are open late even when all the other breakfast spots in Tahoe closes around 2pm. Sprouts Cafe is still open to serve late breakfast in the afternoon. Love this spot and would totally recommend if you are looking for breakfast in Tahoe
Get the nachos and a mean green machine. You wont be disappointed.
Probably the best breakfast place I’ve been to. As weird as it sound it was one of the highlights of my Lake Tahoe trip. The food was freshly made with a clean and cozy environment. I haven’t been able to find something like this where I live and would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the area.
Good food and good smoothies if youre in to healthy eating
Amazing fresh quality food and drinks smoothies, juices, this is a casual location with amazing food, fresh organic and tasty!
