Pep's Place - Tahoe Vista, California

Very friendly staff, good food and great coffee!! We had the English muffin with avocado and eggs and then we customized and everything bagel with sausage, eggs, cheese, lettuce and tomato. Both were so good and made to order! There is also a lovely sitting area in the back surrounded by a nursery.

This was a great little local eatery! After many hours in the car, we took the baby out to stretch her legs, get some food, and lattes for us adults! My friend had a breakfast burrito and a latte. The baby had a sausage patty (cut up into tiny pieces!), and I had the Lox bagel with a pumpkin spice latte! Everything was AMAZING! All the staff were very friendly and helpful! They suggested a couple places for us to take the baby to stretch her legs (suggested Kids Zone in Truck something city, which was a big hit!). NOTE TO PARENTS: they DO have a changing table in the bathroom!!

The staff are friendly and the food tastes pretty good but the portions are tiny for the premium prices. The breakfast burrito is a half size and the protein portions in the sandwiches are tiny. There’s places in Tahoe that charge similar prices and actually serve adult sized portions.
Overall just overpriced

Friendly staff and comfortable place to have a meal! I had an English muffin and it was super tasty, fresh vegetables and satisfying for breakfast. Ordered a hot chocolate too, and it tasted ok.

Waking up early in the beautiful Sierra is always a pleasure! And knowing a cute mom and pops Cafe is nearby had me excited!

Me and one other friend (who visited this place by himself the day before...jerk!) Decided to catch some sun and get our Joe going!

Walking in we were immediately greeted with friendly faces! They handed us a menu and I was torn between so many options! I was hungry but I didn't want to eat to much.

On a side note I ordered a Latte to get things started!

Boy, I don't know, I had a rough and fun night prior playing the most vicious game of Monopoly until 3 in the morning so maybe that's why this Latte smacked so hard! This Latte rejuvenated me, like every sip brought me to life!

I decided to go a healthier route with food finally, not because I care about healthy but because I actually like most healthy foods naturally so I ordered a Acai Bowel.

It was just the right amount of everything I needed, the bananas were freshly cut, the oats were crunchy and the yogurt wasn't too thick.

Infact, my only draw was the yogurt eventually monopolized the whole thing... see how I brought that full circle?! But that's my fault since I walked back to our cabin to eat it instead of lounging about.

One cool lil fact I feel needs to be mentioned is this program they got going... so they have a recycling thing where if you bring your own cup you can refill on house brew coffee for a dollar! Thats a pretty rad return folks! I loved it... I didn't take advantage of it but I will when I come back!

A lovely spot for a quick bite to eat. My gluten free egg bacon English muffin was very good and I had a very good coffee. Nice view of the lake too.

Stayed overnight in town and Pep’s was such a gem to find down the street. Excellent brewed coffee and loose leaf tea, both from local companies. Friendly and warm atmosphere and service. We had the special lox bagel and a sausage egg and cheese croissant sandwich, both were hearty and delicious. Will be sure to stop in again when we’re in the area!

this is the best coffee shop I’ve found in the basin! their espresso is the very best tasting and their menu is delicious and eclectic. They even have tasty gluten-free options! The staff are always joyful and personable and it makes my day to stop in and see them.
