“ Java Hut – Kings Beach’s Hidden Gem of North Lake Tahoe. I stepped into Java Hut today, nestled in the heart of Kings Beach, Lake Tahoe, and I can’t believe I’ve waited this long to write a review. This cafe has been a staple of my visits for years, and today’s experience reminded me why. As always, the team here brings their A-game, starting with Britt a dashing young man with an impressive work ethic—always in motion, always attentive. You can’t help but appreciate his vibe and energy. I ordered a raspberry white mocha, and let me tell you, it’s absolutely divine. The bold, fruity raspberry notes shine through without being overly sweet, perfectly balanced by the creamy, sugary white mocha syrup. Chelsea, the owner and barista, crafted it to perfection—she makes a latte like no other. For food, I indulged in the oven-baked bacon, cheddar, egg butter croissant, and it was everything I wanted—rich, decadent, and satisfyingly heavy. The coffee provided the perfect counterbalance to the buttery goodness, cutting through the richness for a harmonious pairing. The vibe here is unmatched. Java Hut combines excellent service with a prime location on North Lake Boulevard, offering gorgeous views of Kings Beach. The ambiance is just right—there are plants thriving in every corner, rustic yet chic decor, and quirky signs that add a touch of humor to the space. It’s the perfect blend of a posh coffee shop with a cozy, local vibe. This place is more than just coffee and pastries—it’s an experience that keeps me coming back. Whether you’re grabbing a quick pick-me-up or savoring a quiet morning, Java Hut hits the mark every time. Five stars, without a doubt. #JavaHut #KingsBeachCoffee #LakeTahoeEats #CoffeePerfection #LatteLove #BaristaMagic #CafeVibes #RaspberryMocha #RusticAmbience #SupportLocal #TahoeEats #BreakfastGoals #CroissantLovers #CoffeeTime #KingsBeachVibes #FoodieFavorites #NorthLakeTahoe #CozyCafe #CoffeeAndCroissants #BaristaExcellence The following is a short article that I submitted to barista magazine A Barista’s Warmth in a Winter Wonderland: Meet Chelsea of Java Hut, Kings Beach, Lake Tahoe In the bustling coffee scene of Lake Tahoe, where competition brews as strongly as the espresso, one barista stands out—not just for her expertly crafted drinks, but for the heart she pours into each cup. Meet Chelsea, the owner and barista of Java Hut in Kings Beach, a true beacon of warmth in this picturesque ski town. With her raven-black hair, delicate tattoos, and an unshakable kindness, Chelsea is the kind of person whose presence is like the first ray of sunshine on a frosty morning. Her charm isn’t just in her ability to craft indulgent creations like a white chocolate mocha pumpkin spice latte or a sage-infused caramel brulee latte (yes, she’s mastered the art of the avant-garde coffee order). It’s in the way she makes every customer feel valued. Whether it’s offering a pup cup to her regular furry visitor, Pickles, or pulling a perfectly balanced shot of espresso, Chelsea serves kindness alongside every drink she makes. Today, her talent and creativity shone brightly as I noticed coffee plants growing inside coffee pots in front of her espresso machine—a nod to the origins of every cup, decorated with a sign (I believe) that reads Live Laugh Love Often. The plants, much like Chelsea’s hospitality, add a touch of life and warmth to the cafe. The magic of Java Hut doesn’t stop at its menu or ambiance. It’s Chelsea’s heart and dedication that create the kind of environment where a winter morning is instantly transformed into a cozy, welcoming moment of joy. Her passion for coffee, her care for her customers, and her unwavering kindness are reflected in every cup she crafts. ”

“ Located on the shoreline of King’s Beach North Lake Tahoe, this is a great locally owned and operated coffee shop! Offering a great selection of specialty espresso drinks, drip coffees, teas, and smoothies! Very popular spot in the morning, so be patient with the friendly staff. There is only one espresso machine, but the barista has a great system to prepare your customized drink! ”
