Today I'm celebrating finishing a year of intense dental/periodontal work. Decided to treat myself on my drive home and stopped at Wisegal Coffee for a treat. I got the Honey Bear latte with oat milk (sadly after having a baby my milk tolerance disappeared ) so I was happy to be able to still enjoy one of their signature drinks. They have a good variety of pastries and house made syrups. The vibe feels like the Whistle Stop cafe for lovers of Fried Green Tomatoes but probably a bit fancier than that. The tables are large enough to spread out for anyone looking for a good spot to do remote work or meet up with a friend. There's a changing table in the bathroom and the toilet paper even has cute scalloped edges. Wifi info is clearly posted so you don't have to do that awkward thing where you forget to ask when you're ordering and by the time you remember there's a huge line and you already unpacked your laptop and pile of notebooks so you end up just using your hotspot It was the perfect place to grab a treat on this strangely cloudy summer day.

I finally went to Wise gal coffee shop this morning. We have been dying to try it since it opened!!! From the first walk-in to… The moment I walked out, it was a wonderful experience!!! First of all, the coffee shop is decorated like nothing I have ever seen before. It is very unique but so awesome and a great place for everyone to go to of all ages! one of the owners and her mom were very nice with excellent customer service!!! They had food and multiple craft coffee drinks. They also sell genesis coffee as well, which is one of the best coffee brewers ever. Their menu was very different and they had all kinds of unique, cool drinks that sounded amazing and scrumptious. Can’t wait to try more! I got the Brown sugar, shaken espresso, and my coworker got the white hot mocha. They were both exquisite and some of the best coffee we have ever had. Thank you so much. We will be seeing you again!!! Also have to add the logo bad jokes and good coffee with the two girls is just so adorable!!! Thank you guys so much for providing delicious craft coffee and personable customer service!

One of the best coffees I’ve had in a long time and their staff is amazing! They use coffee beans from a local roaster and the flavor is very balanced and smooth. As a train nerd, I love that they’re located inside the historic shingle springs train depot and offer train rides on the el dorado western railroad too. We will definitely be repeat customers. Highly recommend checking out Wisegal Coffee!

Stopped by on our way up to Tahoe and got the lovely lavender and the honey bear. Both are soo good! They had alternative milks and they had gluten free / vegan muffins 2 flavors. We got the sweet potato muffin which was so yummy! Wish we coulda stayed longer because the owners were very cool and the whole place was a vibe glad we stopped in.

I wish they were open later in the day. This is a super cute and adorable coffee station. The atmosphere is super chill and setting outside. There's a park near by or you can walk down the trail.

What a cozy, welcoming, lovely local treasure! I had such a wonderful experience - everything from the atmosphere to the amazing service, and to the actual amazing coffee itself - all far exceeded my expectations! It’s a place you just want to stay and hang out in…It’s so cute inside and out, and everyone is so friendly and welcoming! And of course, the coffee..which is roasted by local roaster, Genesis Roasters..is absolutely delicious. Right now there are some really fun and enticing holiday options, you really will want to try them all! I already can’t wait to go back…I know it will become my go-to for coffee and meeting up with friends and family.
