Coffee connection is a really cool coffee shop in Northlake Tahoe and the reason why is a little bit of local old timey type feel when you walk in everything feels like a 1950s diner aesthetic. The staff is very kind and makes some wonderful suggestions on the coffee. They have a whole wall of coffees to choose from with beans all over the world, and it is freshly ground and made very tasty. They also have a nice bin and a bunch of things hanging around of local events and things you can do in Tahoe and are huge supporters of the other local businesses in the area, which is always always appreciated and we were able to find out about the farmers markets that happened on Thursdays while we were there which was an added bonus, and of course, when we went to the farmers market, coffee connection had a little outpost among all the vendors and the farmers that were located there for the Local fruits and vegetables, which was really nice
