Drew Taylor, one of the 1st employees at the San Diego coffee roaster, became instrumental in shaping Dark Horse's success. When Drew and his wife anticipated the arrival of their child, they relocated northward to be closer to family. With the backing of founder Daniel Charleson, they established the Dark Horse Truckee location. Nestled within a stone building that once served as a saloon, its atmosphere evokes a cozy ski lodge rather than a typical café. The coffee menu boasts house-roasted beans, cold brews, pour-overs, gourmet beverages, and an array of homemade syrups to elevate flavored coffees.
After a harrowing fall down Switzerland's notorious Bec de Rosses slope during a Freeride World Tour event, pro snowboarder Ralph Backstrom embarked on a new chapter in life. In 2018, Ralph partnered with ski racer Travis Ganong to establish Pacific Crest Coffee.

The intimate tasting room invites you to savor their freshly roasted crop coffees, prepared using top-tier equipment like the espresso bar, nitro cold-brew, and various manual brewing devices.
Rooted in the philosophy that founder and owner Nick Visconti embraced during his days as a globetrotting professional snowboarder. While snowboarding at Saas Fee, a resort village in the Swiss Alps, his fascination with European coffee culture, which utilized coffee as a fuel for an active outdoor lifestyle, took hold. This nomadic lifestyle inspired the birth of a purpose-driven roasting company, uniting exceptional coffee with an exceptional way of life. Their primary focus is 'altitude coffee'—beans cultivated on hills and mountain slopes within the equatorial zone and roasted at 6,000 feet in the Sierra Nevada mountains. This unique process yields a sweeter, more nuanced cup of coffee.
