Customer Reviews

"We were impressed by the selection inside covering all the necessities from bathroom supplies to quick deli options and plenty of snacks. Prices were also very fair. We also saw that they had a deli for sandwiches and made pizzas to order so we had to try one, right?

The pepperoni pizza was definitely a great choice. The crust was crisp and had a nice chew. Cheese was ooey gooey and they were generous with the pepperoni. "

- Elaine Y.

"The most convenient option for a quick sandwich or bottle of wine if you're in Tahoe Donner - and, fortunately, very very good. The staff is always super friendly, it's easy to park, solid wine and beer selection, and the sandwiches are always freshly made and well prepared.

They have most items you'd find in a convenient store as well, which can save you a drive down the hill in a pinch. I feel very fortunate to have this establishment located so conveniently in Tahoe Donner!"

- Mike V.

"I was in town for the Broken Arrow Skyrace at Palisades and staying at an Air BNB in Truckee. I have very specific things that I want to eat prior to and after running 46k.

The Z marketplace was great. I had the BEST made to order sandwich on Saturday, and great service. Their local bread, desserts, and wine were excellent." - Cindy R
