Crazy Good Bakery absolutely delivers on its name! The pastries and breakfast sandwiches were an absolute hit—fresh, buttery, and packed with flavor. The croissant breakfast sandwich was perfectly flaky and golden, and their pastry case is filled with tempting options like chocolate croissants, muffins, and sweet breads. Be prepared for a line (it moves a bit slowly), but it’s worth every minute. The staff is super friendly, and the coffee is solid, making it a perfect stop for breakfast or a quick treat. If you’re visiting South Lake Tahoe, this cozy bakery is a must-visit for a true local gem experience!

When there is always a line waiting to order on a Friday and Saturday late morning, you know you have come to the right place. Crazy Good Bakery and Cafe is such an unassuming little house from the outside, but inside, is a colorful world of sweet decor, farm and bakery kitchen decor, and then amazing pastries, bagel sandwiches, muffins, and fantastic coffee. I have been twice in two days and everything that I have eaten was so good. I had the apple pie croissant, and my husband had the apple, walnut, and raisin strudel. Both fantastic! Today, I got their cinnamon roll and bear claw, and my husband got the bagel sandwich with ham and cheese on a seaseme bagel. We really enjoyed everything we got!

The staff is so friendly and so efficient continuously restocking. The geisha customers are happy and the store is clean and full of cute things you can buy while you’re waiting in line they put sandwiches on croissants. They have bagel sandwich, options, Minh, coffee options and lots of yummy, unique pastries. Let’s not forget how kind and amazing the staff is even they slam. They’re sweet and work really hard. I always buy too much because everything looks so good. I bought a croissant sandwich that takes 15 minutes but the rest is fast. We also bought coffee and pastries and a cute magnet.

Found this place in South Lake Tahoe while I was waiting for my electric car to charge. It's a cute little shop. The food was delicious and I enjoyed my Ice Vanilla latte. Will come again when ever I need to charge my car while visiting Tahoe!

This a wonderful little bakery at the Y in South Lake Tahoe. The staff was very friendly, professional and quick service. There can be a line sometimes but it moves fast. The prices are fair. Literally everything we tried was amazing. My favorite was the ham and cheese croissant.
