What customers say

Perfect, quaint coffee shop that feels rustic and cozy. The Guatemala coffee is delicious (bought 2 bags of beans to take home) and the latte is smooth, delicious, and so satisfying. The baristas are super chill and personable, as well. It almost feels like you are in a small village in Europe.

Probably the highest quality option for coffee in the Truckee / Tahoe City area! I tend to seek out specialty coffee while traveling and tried three in this area - I liked the roast quality and drink preparation the most at Dark Horse.

During our visit to Truckee we visited all of the coffeehouses in the area. We are coffee roasters from Sacramento. Dark Horse is The Best coffeehouse in Truckee. They have the best mocha and regular coffees. They have the best service and an extremely relaxing atmosphere of all the coffee places here.

★★★★★ — Cool, 2024-05

In my view, it is one of the best coffeeshops ever. Got me it is my favorite one. Coffee is consistently great , roasted on the premises by the owner (it is privately owned and is friends with the small Dark Horse chain LA, but independent of them) The baristas are knowledgeable and friendly.
