    Cafe Espresso inside the Peppermill Casino offers really good coffee and a variety of pastries. Today, I tried their Green Tea Gelato, and it was absolutely delicious. Great customer service!

    Sometimes when you want something a little sweet, this is the perfect place. All the pastries are good, and the drinks if made right.. Picked up the little coffee cake and a few donuts..

    Basically this is a Starbucks knockoff that's even more expensive. Cafe Espresso is convenient if you want coffee or a pastry. It isn't even a cafe but it's just a counter to order and then you take it with you. A convenient place but they charge like it's fine dining. The basic drinks and food you can find in any coffee shop. It actually isn't even that fast. Only once I got something from here and it took forever. There was only one other person in line. Expensive as fuck. This is simple gas station quality coffee with basic sweeteners. It's about $5 for a medium. They make you pay extra for any sweetener. Food options like the pastries look like they're from a store and were frozen. It's about $5 for a pastry. They aren't worth anything like that. Gelato is actually made fresh. It sometimes might have non dairy sorbets. The portions are expensive and small though.

    I stopped by here twice during our stay at the Peppermill. The first morning, I just got a simple Mocha with no flavor shot. The second morning, I again ordered a Mocha but this time with a shot of white chocolate. Honestly, I wish I didn't. The straight up mocha was decent. Not bad. The white chocolate addition made it WAY too sweet for even me. Maybe it's because I'm used to Starbuck's version of the white chocolate mocha? I don't know. I just know this one was ridiculously sweet. So if you get the mocha, just get it straight up (unless you're into that much sweetness). Speaking of Starbucks, the prices here are right in line with them. This isn't surprising as pretty much everything in the Peppermill is expensive. They also serve pastries, donuts, smoothies, and house made gelato here (by the pint as well). I have tried the gelato at Biscotti's and can vouch for how good it is (the cherry flavor, specifically).

    Good quick stop for coffee in the morning. Friendly staff. No coffee garnishes. One must ask for sugar, stir stick, cream.... Covid related. No doubt.

    Breakfast panini $10. Pricey for the quality   :-/

    Cafe Espresso is in the Peppermill casino next to the hotel checkin counter. But don't let the name fool you. It is not a real cafe. It's a counter that sells baked goods (muffins, cookies, cupcakes, doughnuts, croissants, cinnamon rolls), paninis, espresso drinks, fruit smoothies, cold bottled juices, milk, bottled water, Red Bull, fountain sodas, gelato, salads, and sandwiches. The seating area is shared casino space. It's open 24 hours. The only other eatery that is open 24 hours is the sit down enclosed wait service restaurant Cafe Milagro. Cafe Espresso prices are pricey for the product. Hey they have a captive audience. Since I was staying at the hotel, I wanted to grab a quick breakfast nosh at the casino before I rushed off for my morning activities. I choose Cafe Espresso. I ordered a breakfast panini (it came with a bag of chips). $10. Ouch. It was dealers choice on the chips. I didn't even know what brand they carried. They gave me Lays BBQ flavored chips. I would have preferred to pick my own chip option. But I did get to choose my sandwich bread options: white, wheat, and sourdough. The panini was ok, not bad nor great. The baked goods looked darn delicious. The customer service was friendly. The service was not fast though. There was no sense of urgency. So if you are in a rush, I recommend ordering grab n go items.

    What they call a grilled panini. Cold cheese and ham.
    Christine S.

    I ordered a grilled ham panini with mushrooms and cheese and my husband ordered a grilled ham panini with avocado and cheese on sourdough bread. I know what a panini should be but what we received, after waiting quite a while, was a ham and cheese sandwich on very lightly toasted bread. The ham and cheese was cold and certainly not grilled or pressed. It was something a very busy mom might throw together for her kids' lunch. If it wasn't for the fact that we paid $31 for these sandwiches and one bottle of water, I wouldn't complain. But really, this is not acceptable.

    It is my husband birthday, so we spent the weekend in Reno, Nevada. This was the perfect place to have coffee and dessert and time of day. I wanted to get a cake for my husband birthday. I could not pick just one. So, I picked chocolate cover strawberries, carrot cake, and cheesecake. The dessert were perfect soft and moist, Thanks girls.

    Weak Soy Latte. It doesn't even taste like Soy Milk.
    John G.

    Weak. Decided to grab a couple of Gelato and one Soy Latte (75 cents extra for Soy Milk) while waiting for the wifey. There are 2 "young adults" (one male, one female) working here and both of them are inefficient, inexperienced and lack costumer service skills. The line started to pile up and they don't even bother to acknowledge the patrons. I must've stood there for several minutes before they started taking my orders. They both lack organizational skills and there is no teamwork. Example: Male takes my order, punches the price on the cash register and leaves to go to the back. Female takes my order, punches the total on a separate cash register and begins scooping the gelato. After what felt like an eternity, she hands us the gelato and goes to the back where the male was. It appears he's making a sandwich and she also starts making a sandwich. I didn't order a sandwich. Time goes on and the line gets longer and I'm still waiting for my coffee while the gelato is melting. I don't see anyone making my latte, and the female must've realized I was waiting forever now. She gives me a quick glance and I see her pour something on a cup that must've been sitting on the counter from a previous order. Sure enough, she hands it to me after what felt like an eternity. There ain't no way that is Soy Latte since I didn't see anyone making a fresh batch. One sip of the cup and confirmed it ain't no Soy Latte, and it's weak as hell. It taste like coffee-flavored water. Ugh...weak as hell.

This drink was actually curated by one of the employees, which makes it even more special knowing it was thoughtfully crafted in-house!

The pistachio complimented the coffee and the raspberry would be awesome with a non coffee drink.

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.

We definitely added them back to our regular list of places to visit for our bakery needs on the mornings and weekend brunch.

It's a pretty large location with plenty to choose from. Customer service was great all around. They have large windows so you can see into the kitchen and watch pastries being made. Pastries range between $5-$7.50. So, they are pretty pricey. I got their Gruyere & Leek Grilled Cheese sandwich and it was a whopping $21!! Add prosciutto or bacon - + $3.25! For that price, I wondered if they milked their own cows and aged the cheese on property. The sandwich was served with a side of dressed arugula. The taste and execution of the sandwich was fine, easy to eat, etc. But the flavor wasn't anything that justified the price tag. I also got an orange marmalade iced latte - kind of whatevs. My MIL got the griddled banana bread which is a thick slice of banana bread, topped with sugar and honeycomb. Also, tasted pretty mediocre. As for Pastries to-go, I got the creme brulee kouign aman (5/5). I don't typically like kouign aman, but I loved the caramel-y flavor of the sugar and they stuff it with a generous amount of pastry cream. I loved it. I also got their Bostock which had peach. Also, very good, but nothing amazing. Tried their chocolate bouchon which were pre-packaged. While, extremely rich & chocolatey, they were dry. My MIL got their marzipan morning bun which I didn't get to try. After all was said and done, the total was over $85!! Yes, you will need to go here on pay day in order to afford this place. Lol. Tartine is my fave bakery in CA and while I do think they are also expensive, I was able to get more items totaling at $75. I'm glad this place is in Reno. It's far enough to not make me want to drive here regularly. But, I will definitely be back to try their other items. This is definitely more of a "TREAT YO SELF" destination. Love the ambiance, love that it's artisan, just don't know if the astronomical prices are justified.
