Keys Cafe in South Lake Tahoe is your one-stop shop for premium coffee, speciality food, decadent desserts, and fine wines. Run by Tahoe locals, this coffeehouse, restaurant, wine and dessert bar is a cozy cabin-like establishment filled with artwork and the smell of fresh roasted coffee. There’s no better way to spend a lazy Sunday in Tahoe than sipping on a glass of Coloma Syrah in the charming wooden computer room or noshing on a ham and swiss sandwich out on the inviting outdoor patio.

Commonly described as a little hippy joint, Keys Cafe delivers not only mouth watering food, but friendly service and catchy music to boot. Its warm ambience and eclectic atmosphere makes it a must-visit cafe in Tahoe.
