Best Breakfast & Brunch Places in Truckee
Who doesn't love a dank breakfast burrito, flaky croissant, or amazing bagel sandwich? I am a huge breakfast person and will happily eat breakfast foods at any time of day. While I love a good, long brunch, sometimes you just need a quick meal on your way to the mountain, whether you're snowboarding, biking or hiking. These are my favorite places to grab a quick and delicious meal when I'm in a hurry (in no particular order).
