Before DRINK COFFEE DO STUFF arrived on the scene, drinking coffee and doing stuff was already the Lake Tahoe lifestyle (plus a few beers at the end of the day). It's truly a destination unlike any other — the epicenter of West Coast outdoor activity, alpine adventure, and home to some serious R&R vibes.
What you need, we have. What you’re searching for, you’ll find. Nestled on the tranquil shores of America’s highest and deepest alpine lake is also an incredible food and drink scene. Coffee-fueled days end in evening happy hours accompanied by beautiful mountainscape sunsets.
DCDS loves being part of this lifestyle for both locals and tourists. With award-winning high altitude roasted coffees served daily in our two North Lake Tahoe coffee shops, we're excited to be the first stop in someone’s day. Blends like our infamous Hell Yeah! are keeping the caffeine scene alive as well as participating in the greater economic renaissance of our region. Give our must-dos, must-drinks, and must-eats a read and maybe, just maybe, book a ticket for what will be your most memorable getaway of the year!

DRINK COFFEE DO STUFF is a specialty coffee company built with the belief that extraordinary coffee leads to an extraordinary life. The mantra began in the Swiss Alps in 2012 during founder Nick Visconti's pro snowboard days and continues today at our Lake Tahoe headquarters and coffee shops. As specialty coffees grow at elevations similar to that of our roastery, all our coffees are sourced from the mountains and roasted in the mountains, resulting in unparalleled sweetness only achieved by altitude roasting.
