At Elijah Bleu's our mission is to provide the best hand-crafted coffee and espresso in the Truckee/Tahoe region.

Our Coffee

Elijah Bleu's serves Blue Bottle coffee exclusively. We searched high and low for the best coffee available, and all roads pointed to San Francisco's Blue Bottle Coffee, which is made using only the finest organic, pesticide-free, shade-grown beans. All of our coffee is served within 7 days of roasting, ensuring the freshest taste possible.

We use classic European brewing techniques, and we hand-brew all of our coffee with either French Pressed or Individual Cup Drip Brew methods. We hope that you'll enjoy the bold freshness these techniques create.

Our Espresso Drinks

We always pull a double ristretto espresso. Ristretto means "restricted" and refers to limiting the amount of water that passes through the group head of the machine. The result is a very short (1.5 oz) espresso. This method produces an espresso that is fuller, more flavorful, and more viscous (has a fuller body or mouth-feel) then an espresso pulled using more water.

Our Cappuccinos and Lattes are made with perfectly steamed milk so they taste sweet and not scalded. Milk that is steamed too hot, or with too many bubbles, will lose its sweetness and create an imbalance with the espresso. Unless otherwise requested, we use only Organic Clover milk.

For our Mocha drinks, we add only pure semi-sweet chocolate from Michael Recchiuti Chocolates of San Francisco. We never add syrups or preservatives to our Mochas and Hot Chocolates.

For our Vanilla drinks, we make our own pure vanilla simple syrup, using only the finest sugar and vanilla beans. No preservatives or any other ingredients are used.
