Pacific Crest Coffee Company

Pacific Crest Coffee Company roasts on-site in an industrial-park unit in Truckee, reached by a short walk through the trees. The café inside is small and cute, and there are a couple of cement tables outside by the parking lot. Some regulars plan their drives around the opening hours.

The Mochagandha and the Quattro Fungi are the signature drinks. The honey lavender oat milk iced latte is a warm-day favorite, and the flat white's the pick if you want to taste the roast. There's matcha and golden milk too, and most people end up adding the cheesecake bites.

Seating's limited, so it's mostly a grab-and-go stop for skiers and people passing through Truckee. Give yourself a few extra minutes to find the unit the first time.
