35 Best Cafes in Reno

“My bf and I had been drinking all day as we were walking through the casino Silver legacy we were blinded by a shining star it lead us to the cafe central as we were seated and greeted by the “God Father of Service”. lol. He made me feel so welcomed at home as he playfully cracked jokes with my bf. We placed our orders off the “God Father’s” recommendations. Before I knew it the food was sizzling before me. With a beautiful glass bottle of the coldest water I had ever tasted with freshly chipped ice off a glacier brought by an Eskimo. I’m so grateful we chose to stay here. It was such a great experience, and I would absolutely come back again. If you’re considering staying here, don’t hesitate you’ll be in great hands of the “God Father Of Service!”“

“I love that Bibo keeps house made vegan gelato in rotation even through the winter, and of course fun specials. They also have a gelato cart that's out for market style events, and they keep a vegan flavor stocked on that. I'd like to see nondairy options that aren't fruit gelatos, but they do the fruit flavors well and not icy so it's still worth the trip for me Updated from previous review on 2026-07-25“

“good food great people always enjoy coming hear“

“Great food, affordable and great service...“

“💜💜💜 great place to eat!!!!“

“I love coming here to see all the beautiful cats. not only are they an amazing place to chill out, you get to hangout with cats. every cat has a different personality and still so loving. I always recommend this place for cat lovers and to have a nice atmosphere.“

“Great little bakery. Amazing blueberry muffins. Friendly staff. kind of small inside. outdoor seating available. please make your amazing muffins everyday in store.“

“This is a family owned restaurant. The service is excellent. The food is even better. There is a great selection of coffee beans to purchase. I'm definitely making this a regular place“

“Absolutely amazing!!! I haven't had such amazing and authentic southern comfort food since I moved back to the west coast 40 years ago! I Door-Dash ordered the Shrimp and Grits with Greens and the Shrimp Salad. When I get over this throat bug that's keeping me down at the moment, I will be coming in person for Oxtails and Shrimp and Grits!!! I highly recommend Papawhatyoucooking! 10 out of 10!!!!😋“

“Been wanting to try this place from a friend's recommendation. I ended up going for lunch and was not disappointed. Got the madein salad (caesar-ish) and mushroom focaccia. Both were incredible. The mushrooms were luscious and cooked perfectly. Focaccia was delicious. Was it the best I've ever had? Probably not but I would go back here again and again. Dying to try dinner- fresh cooked pasta mmm. Service was also outstanding and they have a cute little patio out back.“

“I am part of a club meeting there monthly -the buffet we get is great and the service is top notch. My husband and I also enjoy a quick breakfast or dinner at the Cafe!.“

“An absolute treasure of a coffee spot! Simple menu but the Red Vanilla Latte + a good book + rainy morning + surrounded by amazing prints for sale!? I should have tipped the awesome guy $30 just for cultivating a rich space with his great chatting over fantasy & horror novels!! Seriously, I do expect myself to frequent here and bring others to this unique, clean, art centric space.“

“Amazing place, wonderful service and our server kay was really amazing. There cheesy Bruschetta🤤 my terrific turkey pesto 🤤❤️❤️“

“Absolutely fresh, delicious food and fantastic, kind service! The Eclairs are the BEST we've ever had and the croissants are HUGE and soooo good!“

“wish we could have enjoyed the food we paid for. but atleast the money goes to a good cause“

“I have to say, this is currently my favorite breakfast place. The portions are huge, the flavors are great, and the salsa they serve with the burritos is the best salsa I have had in Reno.

If you don't want Mexican food, the menu is huge and varied. You really can't go wrong. My Dad likes the crepes and my wife love the French toast. It's all good.

Let's not forget to mention the staff is always super welcoming and always provides great service.“

“We are so lucky to have multiple Perenn locations in Reno. I was driving from NW Reno to Rancharrah for the crispy potatoes and sandwiches and now I’m glad to have these options in Downtown. The quality was just as good as the other locations and the service was great. The young lady working behind the counter was making drinks, taking care of the large groups, and prepping door dash orders, it was pretty impressive. I highly recommend stopping by this location.“

“A few months ago during this year I’m assuming, me and my little brother and my parents went to this place the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa to go eat at the Buffet, and it was a really nice and fun time to eat there and have dinner and some desserts like cotton candy and other stuff. After that, we came here to get my favorite Starbucks drink and it was so delicious!!! And very yummy!!! I loved it because they made it so good!!! 😊❤️🥤“

“I’ve been to Crush a handful of times and every visit has been exceptional. I am not one to write reviews, but my experience today deserves a 5 star review. I popped in quickly for a protein shake but as I approached the door I saw it was pretty busy inside. I decided I didn’t have much time to wait and turned to walk back to my car. The owner dashed outside and ensured me they would be quick if I was in a hurry. I ordered my shake and I kid you not, it was ready one minute later. They didn’t skip anyone before me to get mine out quickly, they are just working like a well oiled machine. I tried the Banana bread shake with extra protein, and as usual, it’s delicious. I love supporting a small family owned business. I appreciate the willingness from the business owner to not watch business walk away, their promptness and the friendliness each time I come in! I’d highly recommend Crush!“

“We love coming to Millie’s for breakfast. All of the meals are delicious, the food is the perfect temperature, and service is excellent. Our favorite server is Wendy. She is full of joy, kind, helpful and gets our day started on the right foot.“

“This place is very cozy. I enjoyed the wide selection of pastries which were all delicious. I really the chocolate muffin. Their pizza slides are large too. I liked that it was open 24 hours so I could get food at a reasonable price all day. The staff are super friendly too. Great place to work and grab a bite“

“Delicious food every time… a true gem and a favorite since the 80’s!!! LOVE the Goulash! 💓“

“Excellent coffee, very good service, prompt. Pretty good selection of fresh baked goods, a great buzz in the place, with people meeting and chatting. Great art on the walls, and clearly has free Wi-Fi. Definitely would come back.“

“Excellent food and service that is reasonably priced. If you haven’t tried this restaurant you definitely should.“

“Great coffee! Good environment!“

“Amazing, smiling staff! Quick, kind, on the ball service. Spacious parking and seating. I LOVE this place!“

“We haven't been here for a few months but glad we came here today. Place is very clean. The staff were great! Special shout out to Shelly who gave 5 star service. We haven't seen this caliber of service in a very long time. The food was really good. We had the dinner size chicken fried steak, fish and chips, cheese pizza and their soup of the day (meatball soup-my daughter gave the soup 2 thumbs up). The fish was great-thin batter and tons of fish. Fries are crispy on the outside and soft in the middle.The pizza had lots of cheese. The soup had lots of meatballs. My husband really enjoyed the chicken fried steak. Just a heads up the Cafe is short staffed, but the staff worked their butts off to provide a great dinner experience. We will definitely be back.“

“They are family- and yes, their coffee warms my soul.“

“We come here once a week. We’ve dined at Romanza and Chi many times. Cafe Milano is much better, the food is always consistent. The Chinese food is way better than Chi, sorry to say. Yes, a bit pricey but big portions and great service. All of the servers are wonderful. We especially love Gabette, Ashley, Qian, Monica, and Margarita. And one of the managers, Deena, is always so kind and says hello. The service is fast and it’s like having a meal with friends because they’re so attentive, coming to see if you need anything and having a friendly chat. Not that we eat a lot, but the portions are bigger than Biscotti. So paying a bit more and taking leftovers home makes sense. For a coffee shop, it’s fantastic!“

“It's different now, from a cafe to a Creperie. You order 1st, seat yourself with a number and they'll call it when ready. Food's fresh and good, made to order. They have sweet ones and savory ones like Bacon n Eggs or Ham n Cheese. You can turn your sweet ones into a waffle now. Hot strong good coffee as well as grab n go cold drinks, soda, juice, milk, etc... Have to give this place a chance, it's really good.“

“I had a custom cake made by Cindy and it came out more beautiful and tasty than I could've hoped for! My sister in law wanted a fondant cake with raspberries. I sent some pictures and explained my cake request via email and Cindy was quick to respond. We talked back and forth about the details and they totally exceeded my expectations for this cake. The fondant is so good that everyone enjoyed the cake, even the kiddos and people who claimed to hate fondant. It was also huge and decorated with roses and hand painted flowers. I'll definitely be returning for any future custom cakes.“

“My mom just dined here. She was evacuated from the Hawk Fire (all ok) and recently lost her senior fur child and was feeling sad. Alexia was extremely kind, caring, and compassionate to a senior lady who was a little lost and wanting to use her gift card for some comfort food. She enjoyed her meal and really appreciated the human touch.“

“best platform ever freeplay big money for you love it to“

“I’m currently a Diamond member and I am treated very well. I was prior when I was Platinum as well. The hotel is clean and most of the employees are great. I frequent Vegas often and I would rather spend a weekend at Peppermill and hang out in the sportsbook and tables in Reno. As for food, it’s above average. The deli in the sportsbook is great. The Chinese place Chi is solid as is the steakhouse Bimini. Only place I don’t recommend is the Mexican place near the check in/out counter.“

“I kept seeing the commercials for their new refreshing summer drinks and the new stuffed bread 🥖 sandwich’s and my husband wanted a hot sandwich which their menu had everything we wanted and then some. Everything was delicious 🤤 😋“
