Rating: ⭐⭐
C
The Bean Bar
Type: Cafe
Description: Free wifi, this is the place to be if you have a long paper or need to get some work done away from home. They have amazing coffee that is not very expensive. They use local coffee beans and they are a very organic, natural-focused place. Their Aztec hot chocolate with whipped cream is like $2.50 and oh so good.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Driftwood Cafe
Type: Cafe
Description: Even for Saturday, the wait is pretty short here. You get a lot of bang for your buck at Driftwood: bacon, eggs, pancakes all for pretty cheap, but definitely delicious. However, the best thing on the menu is the Carolina Connection. It is a MUST GET. Also, two words: cinnamon rolls. Plus, they serve breakfast all day long.

Toast
Type: Restaurant
Description: Toast is a family-owned Japanese//American restaurant with comfort food like mac and cheese, hot wings, and salmon that is to die for. They also have a full bar and the restaurant is very kid friendly!

My Thai & Noodle
Type: Restaurant
Description: They have really quick seating on weekdays, which is great because the minute you enter you can smell everything cooking deliciously. However, on the weekends this place gets packed, as it is one of the few Thai restaurants in Tahoe. If you order any appetizers, you absolutely HAVE to get some egg rolls, because they give you so many.

Base Camp Pizza
Type: Restaurant
Description: What can I say, everyone needs a little bit of pizza in their life, this is the best pizza place on this side of Lake Tahoe. They even give you FREE GARLIC FRIES! They also have a pizza + beer deal, and you have the option to build your own pizza if you aren't a fan of their options. There is also almost always live music because the owner is a huge music buff.

Harumi Sushi
Type: Restaurant
Description: No reservations needed for a couple of people, and they always seat pretty quickly. I'd recommend the caterpillar rolls or dragon rolls, they're to die for. They also play sports on the TVs. This is my favorite secret spot a bit outside of town.

Spooner Summit Viewpoint
Type: Viewpoint
Description: In the winter months, they have sledding, and from this you can pick up the Tahoe Rim Trail which goes around the entirety of Lake Tahoe and is 165 miles long. While I haven't managed to make it around the lake just yet, this viewpoint along the scenic drive is worth seeing on its own!
