Food scene
It’s a quick walk to the Cakery for delicious breakfasts and lunches, including sweets, sandwiches, and frittatas.
Sugar Pine Cakery
2923 Lake Forest RdMy favorite fine dining restaurant in Tahoe. Incredible food, wonderful staff, and seating on a deck with unbeatable lake views. Great for a romantic date night or fun evening out with friends.
Don’t forget to check out the Sand Bar (below the restaurant) in summer for a gorgeous outdoor setting while you enjoy an aperitif.

Bike Path
Skip the traffic on busy weekends and ride your bike 2 miles to downtown Tahoe City shops and restaurants. In the opposite direction, enjoy a stroll or a cruise through the forest, past some boulders where you may spot people climbing, and to Tahoe Vista. This is a great way to get to the concerts on commons beach, and my favorite way to travel to and from town. Remember a bike light if you plan to ride at night as the path is not well lit, but is very safe to use alone in the evening. (I use it all the time after dark alone)
