The Getaway Cafe - South Lake Tahoe

Don't believe 5 stars, this place is a 10. Service and food was top notch ?

We have been visiting Lake Tahoe at least once a year for the past 14 years and we have breakfast or brunch at the Gateway Cafe every day. The food is consistently delicious and the staff is very friendly. One of my favorites dishes is the Cream of Mushroom special.

The food is delicious. Excellent menu. Friendly staff. Cute restaurant and a NICE patio

Will be coming back to work through the menu. EVERYTHING was delicious and the whole table shared food to get a taste!! Would recommend the morning after, DElish. It’s a small and cozy place. Staff was SUPER attentive and nice. Jessie was our server and did the best job!!

I was on the road driving for almost 2 hours and half. I stopped here because i really wanted to use the restrooms. I walked in and asked nicely if i could use them . The door had a sign restrooms only for customers, which i didn 't even see. the blond girl gave me the nastiest look ever.i would have appreciated it if she pointed me to the sign or simply said that restrooms can not be used or gave me more of a direction for the closest restrooms. I understand that every restaurant/cafè has their own policies, which i totally respect, but to treat a tourist like that is unacceptable. I haven 't tried the food , nor do i plan on doing so , the service enough was disgusting.
