    #1 Desert Sunrise with hashbrown
    Alicia W.

    This is an underrated bagel shop tucked away on a side street near Wells Avenue. They have some patio seating and a small indoor space as well. We came on a Sunday morning and they were very busy! They have a great selection of bagels to chose from, breakfast and lunch options, plus a full coffee menu. They have a fun specialty drink menu in the shop and they allow you to choose any alternative milk option for no extra charge. I went with the Desert Sun breakfast bagel, a classic that is their namesake for a reason! I got it on a cheddar bagel with bacon and added a hashbrown (suggestion written next to this item on their menu). The sandwich was loaded with ingredients, filled me up, and tasted delicious! The bagel was noticeably soft and doughy, a perfect base for a breakfast sandwich. The bagels tasted better than most others I've had in Reno and will definitely make me come back again in the future!

    Great bagels. Large variety and friendly service. Come early because favorites go fast. Fun city vibe going on inside and very comfortable. Location is central and fantastic parking. It's a new go to! Make it next on your list too.

    This place is fabulous! The inside is small and cute with a desert mining theme, but there is extra seating outdoors. We had a breakfast bagel and a lunch bagel the eggs are fresh cracked daily, the bagels are made fresh in house the bacon was thick and well cooked, plus bonus you can add a hash brown to your sandwich for $1.75 The lunch bagel was so delicious, I added cream cheese and it was very filling, there was a great amount of turkey too. I'm from out of town and would definitely eat here again if I come back and would recommend it to anyone coming to Reno!! Oh also they have fresh made gluten free bagels too! If you're local or traveling through you must stop in and have a breakfast or lunch bagel.

    It has been YEARS since I have been to Desert Sun... Today I was needing breakfast and a bagel sandwich just really was speaking to me. I forgot how great Desert Sun is that's for sure. The latte I had was fantastic and the Sonoran on Jalapeño Cheddar REALLY HIT THE SPOT. Spicy, protein packed, chewy, awesome. The inside of this place is super unique, clearly plays on it's Nevada heritage, and the outside seating is nice if the weather isn't trying to freeze you to death... I'll be coming back, sorry I forgot about you Desert Sun...

    10/10 this place can clap my cheeks on the daily because I will go to war for the smears. Cheap and delicious. Just how i like my women.

    Decided to check out this bagel spot today. A bit of a let-down. Pluses: plentiful on-street parking, very friendly and prompt service (despite a constant stream of delivery pick-ups), and tasty chai (on the sweeter side). Cons: I can't really say that I enjoyed my Egg N Cheese on sesame bagel. While the egg was cooked well, the thin American cheese did nothing to enhance the either somewhat dry or somewhat stale bagel. The menu suggests a lot of "pro tip" addons (with an upcharge) to the sandwiches. Maybe they should make those addons part of the base sandwich so you get a better experience ordering a standard sandwich. My husband's blueberry bagel tasted like a plain wheat bagel (he said). I expected more from a place that makes their own bagels. Can't compare to Lillo Eatery's Off Center bagels, for example. Inside decor was cute but dark and cramped. Outdoor seating was plentiful on a weekday morning, but one chair was missing slats, and all the chains and locks brought down the vibe a bit. All in all, pretty average.

    Great local spot for a new york style bagel! It's a tiny spot but it has plenty of space both inside and outside.

    Chai Latte
    Bianca G.

    I will start off by saying that I like my chai sweet and this spot has currently the best chai I have ever tried. I'm just sad that there is not one locally in my small ca town. The chai latte large came with a lot! It was sweet and surprisingly, very good. Now the bagel was the highlight of the meal. I opted to get it on a cheddar bagel and it was so good. I did take off the tomato, but that was just because I was going to be eating this in the car and I didn't want to make a big mess. The service here was absolutely great. The girls were very nice and friendly. It does take a little longer, but the food is definitely worth it. They definitely had tables outside where I saw some people sitting but inside there aren't as many tables. However, the inside was cool because they had a bunch of crystals everywhere and I thought that was pretty dope, considering most coffee shops kind of have their own style and this one was unique. Anyways, I came here once last year and I have made it a thing to come here every time I am in Reno since it does not disappoint. 10/10

    I had a desert sunrise bagel on jalapeño and cheddar. It was pretty tasty. And I also had a chai latte with a shot of espresso that I had zero complaints about. I went in on a random Thursday morning and got served pretty quickly.

    Desert sage with garlic bagel
    Edward R.

    What a delicious bagel sandwitch, I had the Desert Sage garlic bagel with jalapeno cream cheese! This bagel was packed with cold turkey nice hot crispy bacon and a avacado mash that made it so smooth! The hot and cold balance was perfect in the sandwich! The lettuce and Tomato were cold and crisp. Very clean location and no wait. The service was fast and they were more then happy to suggest some different cream cheese that would be good. 100% recomend

    Jalapeño cheddar bagel and chai latte

    To me this is the only bagel restaurant in town! Their bagels are delicious. My favorite is the jalapeno cheddar with jalapeno cream cheese-so good! Service is always great here and bagels always fresh. recommend!

    Frontier with cream cheese and bacon

    This used to be my favorite bagel sandwich spot pre pandemic. I chose to still go here when it became Desert Sun and it seemed to pretty much be the same. I haven't visited in a while, but today the service was my least favorite part. I called to order ahead and was put on hold for over 7 minutes. When I arrived, I saw the cashier do the same thing to someone else on the phone. It also took a little while to actually get my food even though I was first in line. The sandwich was good, but I don't recommend going here if you're in a hurry before work.

    What a major local gem in Reno. It only took one visit for…read moreme to become a fan of this coffee shop/bar in Midtown. You can tell that a lot of thought and heart went into the place. The decor, the entertainment, the products all struck a chord with me. On one side - a super cute pour over/loose leaf tea shop with some records for sale. On the other - a cute bar and lounge area equipped with a vinyl player (Bring one in on a Monday for them to play). You have some house pants, checkered floors, and cool vinyl covers all over the walls that make for some great & hip atmosphere and vibes. Their restrooms, though small, and clean and cool. Their pour overs are so flavorful, strong, and made with beans grounded on your visit. I love that they're flavored and sweetened in a way that allows the coffee to shine. If you're into sweeter drinks, ask for a bit more sweetner or add in a brown raw sugar packet yourself from the straw station. I hear their chocolate pour over is a hit. Matchas - prepared in a similar fashion. Slightly sweetned with subtle flavorings. I tried their carrot cake matcha today and really enjoyed the housemade syrup they used to flavor it with. I also love that they offer loose leaf teas. Their chai was nice, fragrant and great with a little sweetner and milk. Shelby over at the bar area was sooo patient with explaining their menu and suggested a isla bonita pineapple shrub drink for a non alcoholic option. Similar to their other drinks on the coffee side, it was tamed in sugar yet still fun and flavorful. I really enjoyed the tang from the apple cider and the spice from the tajin chili powder as a contrasting flavor. Double check their website for bar and coffee shop hours as they differ from one another. And follow them on Instagram for updates on seasonal specials & themed gatherings. A lot of cool local DJs spin here for special events and parties during the holidays. Tip: sit next to the pour over station next to the menu. It's so entertaining, especially with Sydney working the station (thanks so much for the chat and entertainment. Honestly one of the friendliest baristas I've ever met in Reno). Both bars are set up in a way that allows for meeting others and socializing. Check it out. It's a good time. Notes *Catch live jazz music on Wednesdays here for free. *free street & neighborhood parking *bagels & cream cheese available at the coffee shop *they have fun with their seasonal drink specials. I dig it.

    This time last year EP was on the Yelp Food Walk…read more So I was past due to circle back and rediscover it when it wasn't flooded with event goers. An interesting combination of coffee shop, bar, and vinyl lounge, EP is located on Wells Avenue. Took a break from checking out other neighborhood shops to sit and enjoy an afternoon cocktail with friends. Plenty of various comfy seating areas and about six spots at the bar. I tried the Float On, a boozy adult root beer float using local gelato from Bibo. It's a coffee shop, so my friend sipped the 9 to 5, their version of an espresso martini. The Soul Sipper, a beautiful orange colored cocktail was similar to an Aperol Spritzer. Located on the corner of Wells and Vassar, there's a little more street parking available.
