Wagon Train Coffee Shop

Getting lost in Truckee after an early morning drive to Tahoe couldn't have started better with breakfast at the WagonTrain. Pulling into town I noticed two places that were open and serving breakfast. One had a single truck parked in front while the other had about 12. Guess which one I chose?! When I walked inside the place was bustling. Tables packed with four to eight guys eating eggs and pancakes etc. Coffee was flowing as servers hustled about. I grabbed a table and ordered some eggs with their special potatoes and sourdough toast with homemade jam - yum! The food was tasty, service fast and friendly and half priced breakfast before 7:30 am. What a way to start a ski day friends. When you've been in business as long as this establishment you must be doing so many things right. Enjoy!

central truckee must stop ! classic cozy breakfast diner setting and the service is always quick and sharp. the food here is to die for especially the breakfast burritos and pancakes ! don't let the lower star ratings fool you, the folks that get it, GET IT, and the folks who don't, don't ‍

Upon arriving in Truckee on a recent Thursday afternoon, we walked through town to scope out breakfast places. We came upon the Wagon Train and a sign advertising "cinnamon rolls" caught our eye and we thought "this is it"! We returned the next morning around 7:30am, and it was already quite busy. Tables were full, so we sat at the counter. Super fun - we were able to talk to the servers, and also watch the TV above the counter, but sound off. It had a warm, comfortable vibe of a true coffee shop, welcoming and fun. We got coffee immediately upon sitting down, and not half bad. I ordered the Jr French Breakfast for $11.00 : 1 egg, 2 slices of bacon, 1 slice of french toast and beverage (coffee). It was wonderful! The french toast was really "eggy' and moist, bacon thick and super crisp, eggs ordered over medium but arrived over easy. It was the perfect amount of food and perfect price. My friend ordered the Lumberjack Breakfast for $16.00: biscuits and gravy, 2 slices of bacon, hash browns, and 2 eggs - whew! The gravy was thick and yummy with pieces of bacon, biscuit moist - all prepared well. While there, we were told by servers, customers - nearly everyone, about the "amazing gumbo". I was skeptical - excellent gumbo in Truckee?? A while later, one of the owners (I think) came by and told us she had grown up in Louisiana, met her husband in Truckee, and moved here. Now she makes her "famous" sausage and shrimp gumbo every day, and it sells out by 2pm. She then put a bowl with small sample of it, in front of us. Verdict: yup. It was excellent! Be sure to try it! All in all, a great breakfast in a really cute, folksy cafe with great gumbo!

What a great way to start the day...or end it! Great prices, great service. Farah was in action...taking orders and delivering the goodies! The menu had varied choices and we had a tasty breakfast that had fluffy pancakes, perfect eggs, amazing sausage, warm syrup. We licked the plates clean!!! We will be back....for more.

Early morning Breakfast. I had a early meeting and arrived to Truckee 5:30 AM. I remembered they had 50% before 7:00 AM so decided to try an omelette. Quite a few regulars/locals here when I arrived. There is a sign to 'seat yourself' so I grabbed a table. One of the guys at the counter got up and offered me a coffee. The server remembered me from my last visit and welcomed me warmly. I verified the 50% discount as a omelette with shrimp and avocado is $25.50... What I ordered: Spinach mushroom omelette add sausage Biscuit The biscuit arrived fairly quickly. To my surprise, it was split, toasted with butter and honey! It was late and flaky, I really enjoyed my biscuit this way. My omelette arrived shortly after the biscuits. One thing about the omelette, the cheese was on the outside of the omelette, on top. There was no cheese inside it. I like this idea as I can control how much cheese I want to eat. The hashbrowns though crispy on one side, we're not cooked on the underside. I forgot to ask to have the hashbrowns browned on both sides. All in all a great breakfast, great service at 50% off! I definitely would come back.
