Heidi’s pancake house caught our attention as we drove by to Lake Tahoe, it has the cutest building. The food and the service were great. They have gluten free options such as pancakes and other goods. Loved the atmosphere as well.

GREAT little bakery! The lines were always long which only shows to prove how great they are! The staff were all super nice and efficient. We waited about 10 mins to order and about 5 minutes for the food and drink. I ordered the iced mocha and it was so creamy and yummy. I also got the bagel breakfast sandwich which comes with egg, bacon, and cream cheese spread. I got the sea salt bagel and I feel like the salty of the bagel mixed with the sweet of the cream cheese was perfect! Chef kiss. I also love have they have tons of gluten free options and several drink adaptations that can be made (almond milk, coconut milk, etc…). Overall it was great and you’re bound to find something that works for you !

Simple rotisserie and taco+burrito counter with really high quality food. The ingredients are top notch. They have chicken and tri tip on the rotisserie. Also fish and plenty of veggie, vegan, gluten free options. We got fish tacos, a tri tip burrito and a salad, it all came in about three minutes. Relaxed atmosphere with a few outdoor tables. This is going to be one of the local favorites very quickly.
Bert's Café

This place was the perfect spot to stop by for breakfast before going skiing! Even though vegan options were not listed on the menu the staff helped me make the pacific wrap with honey dressing vegan (soo good!) and cooked my oatmeal in water and it was delicious with some berries on top! Even though they were busy, the wait time wasn’t too long at all. Gluten free options available too.

Didn't actually eat here as Google said they have gluten free but it's only in winter. Not a review of the actual food (server was a bit rude when we asked about gluten free but aonce we didn't eat here no idea how she would treat a paying customer) since they didn't actually have options beyond eggs which are all cross contaminated, more a review of how it is listed/reviews that pop up to the top.
