Arrived at about 6:30 am for breakfast and the place was slightly busy.
Placed the order for egg and it was served as ordered, along with their own home made strawberry jam and nicely baked bread.
The interior design was quite unique and the service was quite active and the lady did a great job in checking in more frequently.
Also, I had one of the best Americano coffee. Don’t forget to order the cheese, which was great and healthy. I liked the way the invoice was written and described.
Thanks to the chef and the support team. Will return for breakfast whenever passing from SLT.

It’s rare that I leave reviews even more rare that places like this still exist. Immediately upon entering I felt like I was with family with their hospitality and atmosphere. Amazing classic American breakfast. I’ve never been here before and wow what an incredible first impression from their team that works here, their attentiveness, and love for dogs (Thor thanks you for the pets!). I will absolutely be back here strictly because of how they treat their people and how they treated me like family the moment I walked in.
I cannot say enough about the delicious food, their incredibly fluffy pancakes I’ll never be able to duplicate, and the staff here. Highly recommend you come here for breakfast and late brunch. You won’t be disappointed.

Disappointed After 30 Years of Visits
I’ve been coming to Wagon Train Coffee Shop for over 30 years, but unfortunately, this last visit may be my last—unless I’m truly out of options again.
We stopped in with three dads and two toddlers after finding Donner Lake Kitchen closed and Squeeze In too busy. I was hoping it would be a solid fallback, but the food just didn’t deliver. Everything we ordered felt heavy, bland, and unhealthy. Honestly, it reminded me of eating at a Denny’s—but at a higher price point.
The total came to around $100 (before tip), which felt steep for what we got. On the bright side, our waitress was fantastic—super friendly and attentive—and the quirky decorations inside are still a highlight. But good service and fun decor can only carry a place so far.
If Wagon Train wants to stay relevant, especially to folks bringing out-of-town guests or trying to eat a little better, they really need to add healthier options to the menu. Something like bagel and lox, avocado toast, oatmeal—anything lighter or fresher—would make a big difference. And frankly, the current offerings could use a quality upgrade across the board.
Hoping to see some changes in the future. This place has history, but it needs to evolve.

Excellent breakfast shop and cafe located in Truckee with a variety of delicious omelets, wraps, and skillets for breakfast. Unlike places nearby, there is not an hour wait to be seated here which is great. The food was excellent and their service was nice despite being very busy!
The food here for breakfast varied from specialty plates, French toast, kids plates, breakfast burritos, custom omelettes, custom egg and sausage plates, and plenty of coffee. There is definitely something for everyone here. The food quality was excellent.
Parking and service were great too. We had no trouble getting a spot and were seated instantly during a busy day. They were very friendly but we did wait a bit to be served due to staffing issues. Otherwise, such a great spot.
The location is decorated the American decor and has a lot of personality. I highly recommend this place over other over-hyped locations in the area.
Highly worth it for a quality breakfast!

Favorite family breakfast in Truckee. Food is very good, nearly everything made from scratch and served hot and fast. Service is pleasant and efficient, not fussy. Highly recommend. It can get busy during weekends and holidays with a bit of a wait, but you won’t be disappointed!

November 26, 2025. We had the pleasure of going to this restaurant as soon as we walk in the two white waitresses roll their eyes at us. We’re black after that we went to sit down we waited for a while then one of the waitress with the black hair came over very rude. She was just obnoxious and it was my granddaughter‘s birthday. This is how we started it off. She took our order which, she made it very difficult. We finally got our food, which was terrible. We asked her for certain things like silverware butter, and that was a problem. Every time we asked her for something she rolled her eyes at us. Like we were asking her too much. We got our bill which was $300.00 and something dollars. We asked her to separate the bill, because we couldn’t understand it. She wrote it with a blue marker. I don’t even We couldn’t even understand what it was saying. To separate the bill .So we just went ahead and paid it. And then she charged my daughter $50 extra on her card. So she basically stole $50 from us. I do not recommend this restaurant if those two waitress are gonna be there. And if you’re black! ‘Cause they have a problem with Black people! We have just as much money as anyone else and you don’t have to steal from us. If you had gave us good service. I would’ve tipped you a $100. You didn’t have to steal $50 from us and you overcharged us. Because we looked at the menu prices. After we got home and it not even close to $300.00. So sad if you do not want to serve Black people, please put a sign up like the old days. So we will that we are not welcome. I don’t ever want to go somewhere that my family and I are not accepted.

Wish I could give them 10 stars! What a great place! The owners came to our table and started a conversation as if we were family, and we felt like family ❤️ the food was amazing! Service was excellent ( our waitress was very personable and good at her job) and the atmosphere was perfect. They offer half price breakfasts from 5:30ish a.m. to 7:30ish a.m. we will definitely be going back every time we’re in this area if you are in the area you must come see these folks!

Hands down the most comfortable place around. Ladies are amazing, food was amazing. Closest thing to a Jersey diner. Went 4 days in a row. Wouldn’t hesitate to go.

I’ve been working in Truckee and I hate eating out. But this place makes food like it’s home cooked. If you eat here early between 5:30am-7:00 you a discount on your food. I highly recommend getting the gumbo as a side. I’ve been telling all of my coworkers about this place. They tried it and they loved it. You won’t be disappointed if you do.
