Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Forget about retro ski-lodge kitsch as you cozy up inside these crisp, earth-toned and
down-to-earth hotel rooms that abound in sunny, natural woods. Sink back onto the
feather-topped mattresses, refresh yourself with spa-quality bath amenities or hit the sea-
sonal outdoor heated pool by the hot tub. Pet fee $50.
Eating & Drinking
Coffeebar
CAFE
(
www.coffeebartruckee.com
; 10120 Jiboom St; items $3-9; 6am-10pm; )
This beatnik, bare-bones industrial coffee shop serves Italian gelato, delectable pastries
and home-brewed kombucha. Go for tantalizing breakfast crepes and overstuffed panini on
herbed focaccia bread, or for a jolt of organic espresso or specialty tea blends.
Squeeze In
DINER
(
www.squeezein.com
; 10060 Donner Pass Rd; mains $8-15; 7am-2pm; )
Across from the Amtrak station, this snug locals' favorite dishes up breakfasts big enough
to feed a lumberjack. Over 60 varieties of humungous omelets - along with burgers, burri-
tos and big salads - are dished up in this funky place crammed with silly tchotchkes and
colorful handwritten notes plastered on the walls.
Burger Me
BURGERS
(
www.burgermetruckee.com
;
10418 Donner Pass Rd; burgers $6.50-12.50; 11am-9pm; )
Getting two thumbs up from Food Network punk Guy Fieri may have gone to these guys'
heads, but this fresh take on a burger shop still stocks all-natural meats and farm-fresh ve-
getables in the kitchen. Try the 'Trainwreck' - a beef patty topped with cheddar cheese,
onion rings, turkey chili and a fried egg - if you dare. Gluten-free buns available.
