I recently visited this adorable coffee shop on one of my visits to Virginia City, NV. I'm not…read morea regular coffee drinker, but I was looking to get my iced brew fix and there aren't many options in town. You have to drive into Reno or Carson City to hit up a Starbucks or comparable coffee place. I heard from locals about The Roasting House. I saw pics of celebrities like Terrance Howard and Jeremy Renner sitting on the quaint little bar stools inside. Roasting House has officially entered the coffee chat room! On my first visit, I saw that the Iced Brew special was Carrot Cake. Um? Only my favorite cake! I had the best timing and hit the jackpot! Of course that's what I ordered. It was delicious! The decor is absolutely adorable. It's like a beautiful Victorian feel to it. It has beautiful furniture, pictures on the wall, and they have coffee, jewelry for sale and other items. Additionally, they roast their coffee beans on-site with a large vintage roasting machine towards the back of the shop. The place definitely has an elegant, antique-like ambience that fits perfectly with VC. They also serve various baked goods, bagel sandwiches and other breakfast items. You will have a great start to your day by coming here first. Service is impeccable and the staff is super friendly. As you go towards the rear of the shop, there is a beautiful patio that overlooks Virginia city and the streets below C Street. It's a perfect place to sit and enjoy your morning coffee and breakfast item. It's very peaceful with beautiful scenery and they've added some rustic patio furniture. I've been back a couple times and the prices are really good. I'm from the Bay Area and compared to where I'm from the prices are more than reasonable for coffee. This is a place not to be missed when you visit Virginia City!

Is it worth the ride from Reno for a cup of coffee?…read more Subjective to the individual. But, if you like to ride, and enjoy the routes up to Virginia City, the Roasting House is an excellent place to stop for an alternate beverage than what is commonly sold up here. The service is quick and friendly, the vibe is laid back. Rustic decor with always the seasonal addition! With the trip for me! Support an excellent local business.

I visited Madein for the first time after reading about them in Edible Reno-Tahoe magazine, and I'm…read moreso glad I finally stopped in! I went for lunch and tried their 2 for $20 special, choosing the chilled celery soup and the Alpine sandwich. Both were delicious and full of flavor. My only suggestion for next time would be to ask them not to toast the focaccia. It was a little too hard to bite into, but aside from that, the sandwich was excellent. I also had the chance to try one of their meatballs with their house-made marinara sauce, and it was delicious. One of the things I really enjoyed about Madein is that almost everything on the menu is made in-house, with some ingredients sourced fresh from local producers. You can really taste the care that goes into the food. The service was wonderful as well. My server, Seirra, was very friendly and attentive. The owner, Shawn, was kind enough to come by and say hello and even walked me through some of the dinner specials. I also had the pleasure of meeting his wife, Marsha, who works there and was equally warm and welcoming. Overall, I had a great first experience at Madein and would definitely come back to try more of the menu--especially dinner!

Thought it would be im-PASTA-ble to not like this spot, but unfortunately, this was a bit of a…read moreletdown for us. This cute little Italian restaurant was recommended to us by one of my BF's coworkers, and while we can see the potential, it'll be a hard pass for us until they improve their kitchen pacing and service. We made a last minute reservation for Friday 6 pm (with the table being held until 7:45) and were seated promptly upon arrival. However, it took almost one hour and a half to get any of our dishes, and tables next to us were having similar issues, with one party only receiving half of their dishes (the other half wasn't entered into the kitchen queue correctly). We had to continuously check in with our server ourselves regarding our food, which was quite frustrating, although we appreciated how she ended up comping part of our bill. While we understand that she was quite frazzled and the restaurant was understaffed, I still think the restaurant would benefit from better staff training, especially during busy dinner rush hour. The food itself was hit and miss, but I was quite impressed by several of their seasonal items, which included a salad and lobster risotto (recommended to us by our server), and I hope they can incorporate it into their menu permanently. The squid ink pasta and crab linguine (also seasonal), however, were quite flavorless (and this is coming from a low sodium girly). Cocktails were alright as well, and I would recommend ordering from their wine menu instead, which includes several excellent Italian and local wine options.

I know I rated this spot low at 3.5 stars initially, based on quality/taste of food and value, but…read moreI came back to show my MIL around town. I very easily could have brought my rating up to a solid 4 stars because the food I ordered this time around was delicious! I got their roast beef panini special with potato salad and their dalgona iced coffee. I also, tried a croissant and apple danish. All items exceeded my expectations compared to the previous breakfast items I had in previous visits. But, here's the kicker. The one star is due to CHASELIN'S/CHAS-LYNN'S (spelling) egregious customer service. From the moment we stepped in she greeted us with crossed arms and no smile. Right away, MAJOR ATTITUDE. She was very frank and short with us as if she didn't want to be bothered. She frankly directed us to the menus and spoke so fast as if she was just over having to repeat the same thing over and over to customers walking in. It took a while for my MIL and I to decide on what we wanted when a guy came in behind us. With the biggest attitude, she impatiently asks, "Are you guys ready?" We weren't. She goes, "Well, I'm gonna take care of this guy first." OK, fine. We stepped aside. We finally placed our order and I was curious to try their pastries. I asked CHASELIN (spelling) what pastries she recommended. With such an attitude she goes, "Well, do you like muffins? danishes?" As if I was wasting her time to answer my question. I told her, "Not muffins." She right away turned to the special board and read verbatim "We have an apple and cherry danish". I can read. I didn't need for her to read the board to me. I asked, "WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?" Her response, "Well, they're 2 different fruits, so it's really just preference. " REALLY??! NO SHIT they're 2 different fruits. My response, "OK, so you don't recommend anything. Got it." Both my husband and I are in the hospitality industry and we are very attuned to what excellent customer service is. My husband and I looked at each other with astonishment at how rude and impolite this girl was. It was evident she didn't want to be there and her attitude was completely uncalled for and just plain RUDE! With that attitude she needs to be in the back of the house, not the front. Whatever "at home issues" you're having, keep it at home! We have nothing to do with your personal problems. For the amount of money we spent on lunch $51+ for 2 ppl, not including the mimosas my husband purchased, I would expect even the most basic courteous customer service. TO THE OWNER OF THIS BUSINESS: I highly recommend training or re-training your employees on basic customer service or filter out your bad apples. It's not a good look for you.

Inside seating was mainly stools along the front window with excellent views of the trees and water. I really liked that there was a central coat tree where you could hang your heavy coat, especially with the limited seating. Some tables outside as well for sunny days. Interesting menu that blends standard breakfast with some healthier add-ins like quinoa instead of rice. Food tasted fresh, supporting their goal to serve natural, organic, and local ingredients. I opted for the Sunrise Sliders, and had no complaints. I particularly liked that the pretzel buns weren't too dense and didn't overwhelm the other ingredients. I was given the option to add pesto, and it added great texture and flavor. Great showcasing of local products like bagels from Tahoe Bagel Co. and Blind Dog Coffee.

With two walls of windows showing beautiful Lake Tahoe views--plenty of trees and the lake itself--there's plenty of morning light coming through. I was happy that they were serving smooth Laughing Dog coffee--a favorite. And the food came out quick and delicious, with a nice crisp on my burrito wrapper. The menu is limited, but what they do they do creatively and well--the quinoa in my burrito went great with the eggs, beans, and sausage, and they told my wife they were experimenting with their already creative pretzel bun sunrise sliders by adding pesto--a perfect extra optional touch for her.

(And it was very clean in the shop) The actual experience in the shop....way less fun. No customer engagement. (I mean it was empty-people came in and out) Last year I wanted a mug and they were sold out -I was so excited they had them this time. $31 for a plain mug was a little much however if they were more welcoming/friendly I may have changed my mind. Go for the coffee -don't expect feel welcomed-this is what happens when your first two visits were an amazing experience and you set your expectations too high. We can skip the shot next year and just order the coffee online.

I had the grinder sandwich and ate every single bite because it was so delicious. The crack and crumble of the bread was like a banh mi sandwich but filled with Italian ingredients. The only downside is their space is a bit tight for the amount of business they bring in and timing is essential to enjoy your experience here if you can grab a seat at the right time. We definitely added them back to our regular list of places to visit for our bakery needs on the mornings and weekend brunch.
