Walked in not knowing what to order and the barista was so lovely - talked me through the chais and helped me choose the golden chai, which has this beautiful earthy warmth to it. They even handed over their honey bottle when I wanted a little sweetness. My sister‘s latte was gorgeous too. The whole space is warm wood, trailing plants, and good vibes. We stayed way longer than planned, just lingering over our cups and flipping through a Massimo Bottura cookbook. The kind of neighbourhood café that makes you slow down.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Super high quality coffee with good food and smoothies! Such a special place, very cozy too. Love the backyard too, so peaceful. Bagel was delicious. I also rly enjoyed drinking my cappuccino in an actual cup that’s not made of paper Very kind barista/ server too!

Westside Chai is hands down the best coffee shop in town. You can tell Autumn’s poured her heart into this place — from making her own syrups to creating delicious drink specials. The coffee’s incredible (truly the best I’ve ever had), and the prices are fair. It’s the kind of local spot where you run into friends, enjoy real community, and sip on some amazing coffee. Couldn't love it or recommend it more.

Got their vanilla iced latte. Really good. Also my cousin got matcha with blueberry and she liked it. My brother got a pumpkin drink and it was delicious. The worker was nice.

Tucked into a charming little corner, this coffee shop is a cozy gem. The staff greets you with warm smiles and thoughtful service that makes you feel right at home. The ambiance is delightful—thoughtfully decorated with just the right mix of cozy and cute. Their hot chocolate—rich, velvety, and soothing —and the brown sugar latte, which is a perfect balance of sweet and bold.It’s definitely a place I’ll return to when visiting Tahoe.
