If you're a sweet tooth like me, C's Mad Batter Cakery is a MUST try!…read more I've been supporting this local business for years, this pastry chef actually made my baby shower cake years ago when she was still working from home, and she has never let me down! Every item made at C's is so delicately done, you can immediately tell how much time, love and effort was put into every single recipe as soon as you take your first bite! From beginning to end, you will receive a quality experience at C's. In addition, the ambiance of this place is so warm, welcoming and aesthetically pleasing. It feels like a spring afternoon in Paris! From fruit pastries, cinnamon rolls, and custom cakes, there are so many options that will make it hard to choose from and will more than likely leave you wanting more. I've seen the viral fruit pastries all over social media and safe to say C definitely has her recipe down. The raspberry pastry was a perfect blend of sweet and tart while the cupcakes were rich in flavor while also being a perfect balance of sweet, soft and perfectly portioned icing. When it comes to supporting local business, C's Mad Batter Cakery, is a staple on my list.

Need an excuse to fulfill the need to feed your sweet tooth?…read moreFirst time to visit C's Mad Batter Cakery, and it won't be the last. Dropping in late in the day I was worried that most of the 'goodies' would be sold out. Not at all the case. They keep the displays stocked all day. We were greeted by a friendly staff member that was able to answer all our questions. The owner (Steve) popped out of the back and gave us some info on the development of the business which is a good story in itself. The premade cakes looked wonderful, but they specialize in custom cakes (and cupcakes too) The pictures tell a story, but the attention to detail and flavors is why you should check them out too.

When my sister got married, they called and ordered their celebration sweets here. Since she was working swing shifts, it was hard for her to pick up the cake and cupcakes during business hours, so the owner obliged for an after hours stop. I remember the cupcakes were quite good and the cake was yummy as well. Everything they do here has that personalized touch. A much better option than the grocery store. Of course you'll pay a little more. But sometimes it's just worth it. For what it's worth, my sister insists they identify as LGBTQ+ friendly, black/female owned. 11/24

These mochi baked goods took time to perfect, so enjoy it here. The first wave of service is nice, they will help you get pastries and baked goodies. Then you approach the register where you can order food and drinks. This last visit everyone was very nice and helpful. We received our food quickly. Thanks Perenn for all the good you offer.

A warm, bright spot in an otherwise bleak part of Reno…read more 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.

The Pumpkin pie was the best Pumpkin pie I've had. Stick to the Pumpkin pie, or you'll be in great danger! That Pecan pie... it's not for us mere mortals! These bakers have gone to far, and (like Prometheus before them) stole the pie recipe from the Olympians! I want to eat the pie until I'm sick, then try to eat the pie to cure my stomach pains. With this pie in hand, all your troubles melt away, as long as the pie lasts. But there's a dark cloud on the horizon... this pie does not last forever! You look down at the plate, debating lapping up the crumbs. You look over at the last slice on the dessert table. That last, unclaimed bit of pure joy. Then you look around the room. The others have tasted the pie... Your dear, sweet mother. Your aged father. Neither of them is a threat. The grandparents? Bah, they couldn't even make it to the table and you'd have the pie half-way down your gullet. Aunts and uncles... you could push through them without any issue. Your brother may pose a threat, but how dangerous can a marine *really* be? Your sister? No, guile and deception won't win the day, here. The kids table.. were there 4 there earlier? 5? Could their youth really allow them to be swift enough to gain them victory? No, they'd turn on each other. Just... have to get that one last slice of pie....

Realized that we were getting closer to Christmas which means pumpkin season is almost over and I…read morehadn't gotten nearly enough pumpkin goods (my favorite flavor!). Had been wanting to try Little Lupine Bakery and saw that they still were offering pumpkin items. First of all, their online ordering site is so easy to use and they have a great selection-not just pumpkin! I ordered 2 different pumpkin breads (offered in large or mini sizes), scones and pumpkin bars. Everything was beautifully wrapped and packaged-could easily give this as a gift-and it felt like a gift to myself! Sometimes pumpkin bread and scones can be on the drier side and you need to add butter or jam. Their goods were so soft and flavorful they don't need anything added. Everything was delicious with just the right amount of pumpkin and spices added. This Mother/daughter duo are incredibly talented. They are often at local events or you can order directly from their online site. Do yourself a favor and try some of their wonderful goods-you'll be hooked!

I did not know how it worked to find a table because there were no open tables or staff available. When we finally found a table to sit, there was no one to get us menus and the one staff we saw was busy helping a few other tables. We got frustrated so we left. I saw a couple other customers leave during that time as well. They really need more people working and I am surprised they have such high ratings. At the second location on Plumb Ln, they were crazy busy as well, but they had a manager managing to help speed up cleaning tables and finding tables that were empty for anyone that came in. It felt a lot more welcoming than the first location. As we were waiting, the interior is more modern and has high ceilings which makes it feel a lot more open and comfortable. The wait was about 20 minutes. Once we got a table, our server did not get our drink or food orders for a while. She was busy. I ordered the Fresh Mushroom and Spinach Omelet and it was good; however, everything else on the plate was not visually appetizing or tasted as good as the omelet. My boyfriend ordered the Hungry Man Waffle Combo which come with 2 waffles, 2 eggs, 2 pieces of bacon, and 2 pieces of sausage. He did the get the sausage and was given 2 extra pieces of bacon instead. This is fine, but we wish someone notified him of the swap. Not sure why they did not have any more sausage either. Overall, I would not come back because both locations are out of the way, and the service and food was not at the level that makes me want to go back.

My friend ordered the grilled eggplant and the sandwich had about 5 times as much bread as eggplant. We used to love this place. Not any more. The only reason I have given 2 stars is because our servers were nice and the manager came out and told me I wouldn't be charged for the meal.
