Cafe Con Papi is such a cute spot! They have the BEST creamy matcha chai -- seriously so good and probably one of my favorite drinks I've tried! The chocolate flan was also delicious and the perfect little treat to go with it. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in Reno! I'll definitely be back for that matcha chai! read more

Cafe Con Papi - Matcha with chai - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

A warm, bright spot in an otherwise bleak part of Reno. My wife and I needed a break from a multi-day volleyball tournament and were thrilled to find a Cuban coffee spot down the street. Immediately loved the vibe; colorful, mural filled space with many seating options, a lunch counter and an outdoor patio area. Super chill, friendly staff serving an eclectic clientele. I'd give it five stars if they were a bit more on point with the Cuban end of things. My wife and I are Anglos, but we're both Miami natives, so we're kind of purists when it comes to our Cuban stuff. This was definitely more "Latin inspired." We were looking forward to traditional pastelitos, but found they had more Mexican sweets and a guava and cheese brioche, which was delicious, but not authentic. Our Cuban sandwich had no pork and the wrong bread (and came with tortilla chips?), but the sandwich itself was quite tasty. And our cafe cubano was a nice coffee, but a bit thin and had only the amount of sugar a sane person would add, which is about a third of what would be in the real deal. So if you want authentic Cuban, this isn't really it. But if you're looking for good coffee and food served by cool people in a warm, funky environment, this place rocks. read more

Latin inspired coffee shop. Very cute inside, would say limited seating. They have tables outside and a small bike rack. They offer food and pastries as well. We ordered the Pablo and cafe con agave. Giving 4 stars as I originally wanted to order the cafe con Platano half sweet, but I was told it was premade and could not make customizations. The barista suggested cafe con agave which IMO was a little too sweet BUT very good, I drank it all. The Pablo was delicious! I would recommend this place and will be coming back. read more

Cute urban coffee shop, open & enough sitting inside and outside. Parking a bit smaller but they do have street parking. We got 4 Cafe con Horchata w/oatmeal. It was a delicious creamy and flavorful. Juan seems to be by himself but was very efficient w/taking orders and making them. This will be our spot when we are in town. read more

Cafe Con Papi - Cafe con Horchata w/oatmeal - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This Latin coffee shop in the heart of downtown Reno is a hidden gem and having its own parking lot is a huge plus! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting perfect for relaxing with a good drink. I tried three drinks: the Strawberry Horchata, which was creamy and refreshing; the Banana Bread Latte (hot with oat milk) which truly tasted like warm banana bread in a cup; and the Pumpkin Horchata Latte (cold with oat milk) smooth with a light pumpkin flavor. For dessert the chocolate cake slice was rich and satisfying and The Maria's bread which was banana bread topped with Cajeta was absolutely delicious. There was a bit of a wait for my order but it was totally worth it once everything arrived. Customer service was excellent. Overall creative drinks, tasty desserts, and easy parking make this spot a must-visit in Reno! read more

It had been awhile since my last visit so I took a friend who was visiting from out of town. We were greeted warmly by our barista. The Cubano and cafe con leche were perfect, and the Tico Toast was perfect as always. Why had I waited so long?? read more

Cafe Con Papi - Tico Toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Just tried out this locally owned coffee shop down the street from work for the first time! Wow! First we were greated with a warm welcome and smiles. You could feel the eagerness to serve us from the second we walked in the door to having our order taken and coffees handed to us. Absolutely love this. They make some great Lattes. I ordered the Pablo which has pistachio and matcha in it. I was blown away with the combo. It had the perfect balance of pistachio and matcha with coffee. I have yet to find a place that can pull this off. I've always been a fan of matcha but most didn't offer it with a coffee base and when I added a shot of espresso to it, it just never did it justice. But this drink is exactly what I've been looking for. I felt like this recipe was made just for me lol. I love that it is locally owned. Such a cute little spot too. I love all of the wall murals they have inside and it had a cozy vibe that you can sit and enjoy your coffee. There were even people doing work on their computers while enjoying their coffee. If you're looking for the next best coffee shop in town you need to check them out. read more

The ambiance of this coffee shop is very homey. I felt at peace, the lighting was perfect. I had the strawberry horchata and jalapeño grilled cheese sandwich. I would rate the drink a 10/10, the jalapeño sandwich was good as well but next time I would ask for less jalapeños. read more

I stopped in here last week and loved most of what I ordered. I got both the savory (elote style), and sweet (banana and caramel yumm!) toasts. Loved both of them. I also had an oat milk cortado which was excellent. There was a water dispenser and cups, which I needed with the sweet toast. I ordered a strawberry cheesecake slice to take home and didn't love it, but I'll be back for coffee and other items. Staff was friendly and helpful a parking was ample. I will be back! read more

This coffee shop is so quaint, inviting, and relaxing. The baristas are friendly. They have drinks you can't find at most coffee shops since they are Latin-inspired; there is even a drink with rose water! Along with coffee, they have pastries, accessories, and delicious looking cake. read more

Cafe Con Papi - Papi Mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I stopped in for breakfast and coffee during a work trip--22 degrees and snowing--and Café con Papi was warmly, reliably open. Without getting into details, the team went above and beyond for me today and delivered genuinely world-class hospitality. The least I can do is leave a strong review for a great local small business. The quiche and the plátano latte were both excellent. The vibe is relaxed and refreshing, with a cozy, welcoming feel. They also have free Wi-Fi and plenty of outlets if you need to get work done. This is officially my go-to coffee shop in Reno. Thanks to everyone at Café con Papi! read more

Delicious coffee, atmosphere and great service. My favorite has to be the café de olla & flan.

I went to Cafe con Papi the other day for coffee and to try one of their advertised Cuban Sandwiches. I had a small regular coffee. It was rich and strong just the way I like it. The Cuban Sandwich although very tasty (and it did taste like a Cuban Sandwich), it was more of a Cuban Pannini when compared to the size of a real Cuban Sandwich. You'll know what I mean if you ever had a Cuban Sandwich before. Anyway, the place has a private parking area. It is cozy for reading, working on your laptop, studying or socializing with friends. They are locally owned so they will always have my support. My only constructive criticism; they need to improve their service time as it is a little too slow right now. read more

Cafe Con Papi - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

When you search for Cuban food Cafe Con Papi does not show up so I didn't know it existed until I drove by yesterday. I had to stop and try it today. Inside small quaint cafe with great murals on the inside and out. A few casual seats around the cafe and bar. Great sweets and pastries to go with your coffee and a Cuban sandwich on the menu. We had the Cafe con Leche and the Cafe con Platona. Both were exceptional. If you like banana flavor the Platona is great. We also got a pastry which was very nice and fresh. I had to try the Cubano Sandwich and though I've had better, in South Florida, it was very good. Wish I knew where they got their bread from - love making sandwiches at home out of Cuban Bread. Highly recommend stopping by for a bit of flavor, something different. You won't be disappointed. read more

Beware: We showed up at 9:15Am, there was one couple ahead of us, we were a party of 4, we order 4 drinks and 2 bagels with a Cuban sandwich. We got our beverages about 25mins later, ok fine we get it she was alone and got more guest coming in after us, that were ordering food and drinks. Then it was 10am and no food still she just making drink after drink. we were wondering what happened to our food, the barista made the couple ahead of us food and served them in a timely matter. She was getting a lot of people and taking order after order doing drinks and not doing anymore food, I understand she was alone but she should complete full order la before taking on more orders and getting her self overwhelmed with drink and food orders, So she finally got some relief with another guy 15 mins in and still nothing so we just went up to the counter and asked for a refund for the food. No apologies no here take your drink on us sorry for the wait you know something a place with some type of hospitality would do but maybe cause it's a small business and they don't care about making sure the customer is taken care of regardless of the costs of the transaction. We wasted over a hour of our time we popped in wanted a coffee and a snack because we had plans and thought this would be a quick transaction. If you're in a hurry do not come in, I would like to review the food but it was never delivered!! read more

Came here because of the coffee plantano. . The outside looks run down. The inside is nice and dark with woods and plants. Love the esthetic. Love the comfy leather chairs and green velvet couches. With big green monstera plants. . Coffee plantano - coffee mixed with plantain which can be mistakenly like bannana flavor. It was a latte with oat milk instead of the regular milk. The additional charge is 1 dollar for oat milk. The sweetness I have them make it half sweet. It was perfect hot drink and smooth for the chilly weather in Feb 2024. . Quiche - spinach with cheese - this was ok and nothing special. Tasted good though, not too heavy in cheese. . Overall it's a good coffee shop. I love the drink and vibe. Will be back. It's a 15 minute walk from silver legacy which is convenient. I will be back. Hope this review helps. Thanks for reading. Have a yelptastic day. read more

Cafe Con Papi - Inside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Supporting local coffee roasters and coffee shops is imperative, and you will always find something delicious and distinctive! As a suggestion from one of my colleagues, we went to Cafe Con Papi for a quick caffeine boost. She suggested I try the Cafe de Olla (which I got hot but she mentioned that cold is amazing too), and it was DELICIOUS! Great spices, well balanced, and it helped warm me up during the cold afternoon. Note that the Cafe de Olla is a labor of love and is brewed in a single batch, so the earlier you get it, the better! As another note, I came back a few days after and got the Cafe con Agave (iced) and I could recommend it enough, it's the best coffee I've had! Nestled nearby the old Bavarian world, this coffee shop is cute with great theming and wonderful seating areas. A big plus! I noted the pastries for sale, at a decent price too. All-in-all a wonderful experience and I can't wait to try some more drinks! read more

Their café con plátano and Cuban sandwich are outstanding. Great place for meeting up with people.

Always a go time here. I stopped by after a doctor's appointment to get a bite, coffee and a treat. It was a week day and it was very.calm and quiet in there. Perfect atmosphere to take time for myself surrounded by nice Latin music. I had a Cuban sandwich and café con leche. Both were very good. I grabbed a mango cheesecake to go. It was delicious and I will do it again soon. read more

Great little place to chill and have a coffee. We don't come to Reno very often, but this charming coffee shop is a must-visit for us whenever we're in town We typically order the Cafe con Platano - either iced or hot depending on the weather outside. The subtle hints of banana add a delightful twist to the rich coffee flavor, making it a unique and enjoyable treat. The sweets they have in the display always look great...but, while tempting, we just stick to the coffee. Definitely recommend and will return. read more

Cafe Con Papi - Iced Cafe con Platano - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This is one of the more unique coffee shops in Reno. They specialize in Cuban-inspired coffees, my favorites include the Cafe de Olla (especially iced on a hot day!) and the Cafe con Platano. I love the large plants and foliage around the cafe that soften up the space. It's never too crowded so there's usually space to work. There's also an outdoor patio that's lovely, and the bright murals on the building make it more inviting. read more

Café con papi! This is a coffee spot you need to try! I was able to come into the downtown area today and had been wanting to try this spot, so I made the trip down 5th street:) The ambience once you get inside the coffee shop is very inviting and lots of awesome artwork all around. There is plenty of seating space and tables in case you need to bring your laptop! I had heard about their cafe con plátano and that was the one I ordered! Which is essentially a latte with plantain ( banana powder) ummm, yea please! I love plantains and I had to try it. It was delicious, not too overpowering with the plantain flavor and has a great balance with the coffee. It reminded me of when I eat friend plantains for breakfast with my cup of coffee, so good! I also appreciate the descriptions that they have for each of their drinks especially if you're not familiar with latin inspired coffee or Spanish! The staff was super sweet and answered any questions that I had! I will definitely be coming back:) read more

This spot is my go to for a quick coffee or even to sit in and journal. Coffee here is soooo good. My personal fave is the Cafe de Platano. They have pastries and a few small food items. The ambience is very mellow, laid back, beautiful wall art... plants, etc... very homey. There's also a super cute patio area to enjoy your cup of joe. The customer service is great. Usually, it's just the owner there (I think) but lately there's been other friendly faces(: 10/10 recommend. +coffee +pastries +sit in +patio read more

Cafe Con Papi - *Café de platano (banana coffee) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This place is going on my list of favorite coffee stops. They had the most amazing Cafe con Horchata and also offer several other Latin-inspired flavors. The Maria's Toast seems to be a house special, which is toast topped with Cajeta, banana slices and walnuts. Wow, did this touch my taste buds with flavors of my childhood. The service was also excellent! Carla, who took our order at the counter was really patient and helpful as I went back and forth in my selection (too many great choices) and our order came out pretty quick. The place itself has great ambiance with Latin-inspired decoration and painted wall murals. There is also patio seating, however it was too cold to sit outside today. Really looking forward to my next visit and trying other items on the menu. read more

This is a little bit off the beaten path for me. If you don't know where it is you might miss it. I came with some friends who knew about it and have wanted to go back every day since. The inside is nice but has limited seating and allows dogs. The service was great and I was greated everytime I walked in. They have an assortment of pastries and a few sandwiches. I feel like the couple times I've been the pastry selection changes which isn't bad for me because there is something new to try. The lattes are good but I found a little sweet. BUT their Cubano breve is the best I've had. It is really smooth and not to bitter. I tend to like a lot of cream in anything I drink and I didn't feel like it needed any. The parking is very small so prepare to park on the street if you come while it's busy. read more

Returned back to this place for a coffee run! This is perfect for college students looking for a local coffee spot to support - it's super close to the UNR campus. There's a small parking lot behind the building as well as street parking. It's also awesome to see a Latin based coffee shop in the area; there's a lot of variety on the menu, it's hard to pick what to order! The space was an intimate area with limited seating. I was greeted at the register and was helped right away with my order. Cafe Con Leche| 8/10, would get again Horchata Pumpkin Spice | 7/10 I like the roast of their espresso which you can taste in their drinks. I recommend checking out and supporting this local coffee spot! I do plan on coming back to this place to try other drinks if I'm in the area. read more

I had been wanting to try this place for so long. I am so glad I finally gave it a try! They are a cute coffee shop paying homage to the Latin@ culture. The coffee shop is pretty roomy with its own parking lot. There is indoor and outdoor seating as well. The staff was so nice and was able to elaborate and describe each drink which was really helpful. I didn't feel like I was bothering them when I asked about each drink. I decided to go with the Papi Mocha. It was devine. Chocolatey with a kick! They also have alternative milks which is a plus! I will definitely be back soon to try their other drinks. Also, they had a pastry case with traditional Latin@ baked goods. I didn't try any of them but they looked delicious! read more

I'm always looking for coffee shops besides a Starbucks, especially when not in my hometown. Straight to Yelp I go and found this cute coffee shop. It was very easy to find and park. The barista was friendly & helpful with the menu. We tired the cafe con plantano & the carmela iced lattes. For a dessert we tried the I think it was chocolate flan. I tend to go to Reno a lot, on a good day it's less than a 4 hour drive from San Jose. I will definitely be back here on one of my next visits and try new items. **The bathroom was very large and clean. read more
