About the Cafe
Marty’s Cafe has been serving Truckee diners since November 2012. The Cafe’s open exhibition kitchen concept creates an inviting & vibrant atmosphere with a good vibe – in an environment that puts it all on display & reassures our diners we have nothing to hide. Marty’s Cafe All-Day Breakfast & Lunch Menu features traditional favorites, Chef’s Daily Specials & Chef’s Seasonal Specialty Salads.
Executive Chef & Owner, Marty Carlton has been a pioneer in serving French-California cuisine at affordable prices. He says the secret of cooking at Marty’s Cafe is about “simplicity at it’s finest; using common ingredients that the everyday customer can recognize, while still trying to be innovative.” Chef Marty Carlton invites you to come as you are and relax in Marty’s Cafe welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff.
Becoming a Marketplace
Marty’s Cafe growing catering sales led to the decision to open a 2nd location in July 2016. Marty’s Provisions operates as an extension of the Cafe offering the Chef’s French-California Cuisine made for takeaway & catering services in a stop & shop location at 12030 Donner Pass Road. Marty’s Provisions soft-opening approach for July allowed for the market to evolve to what the customers wanted – gourmet food made for takeaway. Like the Cafe, Marty’s Provisions charming interior adorned with eclectic French-market inspired decor creates a vibrant & inviting atmosphere that is spotless & orderly – becoming a favorite stop for locals & weekenders.

I’m a longtime employee in the historic downtown area and have never had good experiences ordering breakfast or lunch to go. I got so tired of pricy subpar food. Recently I ordered some breakfast to go from Marty’s and all I can say is AMAZING. Price was right, food was fresh and i got two nicely packedged bowls of fresh fruit and yogurt with granola. Enough for two days. Staff was so friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be a repeat costumer.
Hi Morgan, Thank you for sharing your experience – Marty’s prices and generous portions are a great value in our expensive economy – were glad you enjoyed your breakfast.
Thank you,

World class cornbeef hoagie. Excellent. The staff is wonderful.
Hi Enas & Hannah, Marty’s Cafe Hoagie selection was inspired by Marty’s sister Lisa & her children Katie & Sam (the Mohun family of Truckee) – who shared their favorite hoagie fixins for Marty’s Cafe menu. Marty’s Cafe is blessed with an exceptional staff – I will pass along your praise.
Thank you,

Hey Marty, is there someway I could get the menu for the Fall Salad? We were in town last year and I just loved it but when I tried to make it, it didn’t come out anywhere near as good as yours.
Hi Beverly, Marty’s Cafe Seasonal Specialty Salads are a lunch crowd favorite – I will pass along your request to Chef Marty.

The most awesome potato salad!! The meatloaf was incredible, the Portobello burger was juicy, and I’m a critical foodie. The service was so friendly, I love those people!! Thanks to all of the staff there.
