This little coffee shop with the funny name is right across from the Truckee River outlet and Fanny Bridge right on the "Y" of highway 89 and 28. The Dam Café serves various espresso coffee drinks and smoothies, sandwiches and burritos like the Dam Burly-rito and the Tasty Turkey, soups like Brazillian Black Bean, Illy coffee and quality teas. The owners cater to vegetarians with their sandwiches and burritos and any item can be replaced with a vegetarian option. This is a local favorite and can get a little full. They have parking and outdoor seating on their front and back decks.
