“ Jalapeño Cheddar Bagel was phenomenal! I paired it with lox cream cheese and it was delicious. The bagel came out perfectly toasted with a healthy amount of schmear. Service was incredibly kind as well! Made for a great breakfast before a day on the mountain. ”
“ This place is so cute and quaint! The decor on the walls is so cool with lots of pictures from historic concerts and music acts. The coffee and bagels were also great - it was fast too which was good as we were on the way to the ski hill for opening. They did get my husband's order wrong and we didn't realize it until we got to the car but the servers were lovely while we were in the cafe so I'm sure they would have changed it if we went back but he wasn't phased about it. Great breakfast spot! ”
“ Super excited to stop by and try the signature bagel! My lox bagel was perfect, fresh, and tasty! Like the cute decor and cool vibes! The service is fast and the staff are friendly and efficient. Idk why there is only 3.5 Yelp Star. This place deserves a solid 5 star from me. ”
“ Cute cafe/bagel sandwich shop in downtown tahoe city. The joint is packed with weekend skiers and a few locals, and is bustling and fun but still a good spot to work for a few hours. I loved the salmon bagel sandwich special with pickled onions and jalapeño cream cheese! Only a few outlets, so if you are here to work keep that in mind. The cafe au lait wasn't my favorite, but all in all a lovely spot. ”
“ Great place yummy food. Nice walki g area and nice neighborhood. Need to take photo by penny bear ”
“ We visited Syd's Bagelery & Espresso two days in a row, purely out of convenience. Finding street parking was easy and I loved the cozy vibe inside - lots of wooden furniture and music-related decor. They also had flags from all over the world hanging from the ceiling, signed by patrons visiting from those countries. I ordered the The Lox on an Everything Bagel, which was pretty tasty. I liked that the bagel was served open-face, so each side had salmon, cream cheese, onion, tomato, and capers. Very filling! I tried a sip of my friend's Strawberry Fields smoothie, which was also pretty good. Service was friendly, but not the fastest. The next day, my friends returned for another breakfast/coffee run. Unfortunately, this took longer than expected because the staff forgot about their Breakfast Burritos. However, they did throw in a bunch of free pastries to make up for it, which was a sweet gesture. I got an Iced Blackberry Lavender Latte, and it was fantastic. It definitely needed an extra shot of espresso in it (which I got), but the flavors were delicious. The free pasties were also very good, especially the Chocolate Chip Cookie! The Breakfast Burritos, however, were just okay. Overall, a decent option for breakfast/coffee, if you're not in a rush! ”
“ Very tasty! We are always looking for new places to grab lunch in the Tahoe area and we took a stab here today. My wife and I both got chicken wraps that were reasonably priced, very fresh, and quite delicious. The service is order at the counter and was quick and easy. Lots of different seating options some outside and lots inside. Enjoy views of the lake while you eat your food. ”
