36 Best Cafes in Reno

“The food is always good and since it's open 24/7, that makes it even better. We had the Mongolian Beef and the Vietnamese Chicken and both were fantastic. The egg rolls and tge pot stickers were fantastic too. The Legacy Margarita is nothing to play with. It's just delicious. The staff is great, Prem was a gem. He gave good suggestions and answered every question. This restaurant is lucky to have him. If I wasn't staying at the hotel I would still eat there. I enjoy the food that much.“

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

“💜💜💜 great place to eat!!!!“

“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“

“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 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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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!“

“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!.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Great coffee! Good environment!“

“Wendy was amazing! She was incredibly sweet and made our first dining experience together so enjoyable. She was attentive, friendly, and provided excellent service from start to finish. We’ll definitely be coming back, and we would love to have Wendy as our server again. Thank you for making our visit so memorable!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“A few weeks ago, we ate at Chai and the Peppermill and it wasn’t that great. Tonight we came into Milano’s and they provide the same Asian menu as they have in chai and it actually tasted 10 times better. However, I always recommend the waffle breakfast. It is amazing.“

“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 son is currently a freshman at UNR and I wanted to give the cooks and other staff a shout out in a positive light. Every day he loves the food so much. I have been meaning to write this review since august 2023. He loves the desserts, pastas, selections of veggies and every type of meat dish he has he says is amazing. Thank you to all who work here to keep my kid full…he’s a food guy so a good meal matters. Thank you for keeping his belly full!“

“Elliot hooked it up at Panera Bread. He made my sandwich really good—everything was fresh and put together right, not messy or anything. The lemonade was solid too, super refreshing. You can tell he actually cares about doing a good job and making sure people get what they want. Definitely a great experience.“

“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.“

“We had breakfast here and I ordered one egg, over easy, and a piece or toast. And surprise, surprise! That’s what I got. I did get 2 pieces of toast but it was way closer than I usually get when I order one egg. Hubby had the Denver omelet and said it was very good. The prices were steep but the service was great and the only place we were in Reno where the employees smiled. A very pleasant experience“

“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 🤤 😋“
