Employees make a place! Heard about this roaster because of an Elite Event. Went in the following day... roasting day so the instant aroma of f coffee hit us when driven ng up. Took mom (87 years young).... They treated her like a queen. Easy to access with her walker and handicapped parking spots. Had a latte and it was the perfect temperature. Could have had a bit more flavoring but the coffee flavor was rich. Milk alternatives are available. Smaller sized bags of beans are available for testing at home. We bought 3 and the flavor notes were spot on for the Noir and Italian Roast. Clean and refresh g to sit at a table and watch the interaction of other guests. Most were regulars and all were treated as if they were important! Have enjoyed the beans at home so back we will go to get more!

I know I can be a bit critical when it comes to coffee, so take this with that context. I just wasn't that impressed. Nothing was bad. It just didn't really stand out. The coffee was fine, the space was fine, service was fine. But for a specialty shop, I'm usually looking for one thing that makes me go "okay, this is what you do." I didn't quite find that here. Maybe I caught them on an off day, maybe it just didn't align with my preferences. I'd be open to giving it another shot. But on this visit, it didn't move the needle for me.

Tucked away in a shopping strip is Laughing Cat Coffee, which should be celebrating their 36 year in business this year! I have driven past this cafe many times and finally committed to stopping by before they closed for the day. They are open between 6am to 2pm and closed on Sundays. The inside is a tad small, however they have beautiful wood carved tables featuring their laughing cat logo and a wall dedicated to let patrons doodle. The cashier is located behind a coffee truck painted wall and their menu is neat -- they have both food and drink options available. I was happy to have ordered a latte, everything bagel and quiche at 1:30pm considering they were closing at 2pm and often times cafes of this size don't keep many food options available. The quiche was very moist and soft, and it included a packet of hot sauce as well! The cream cheese for my bagel was plenty, this place does not skip out! Despite having one cashier who doubled as our barista, the service was fast. We weren't the only people inside, we watched several couples enter and leave, which comforted me knowing this place has steady business. If you are in the area, please check this place out! Not only do they have their own roasts and merch for sale, but you can get a great late to go as well.

Cannot recommend enough! This is one of the cutest little coffee shops in town! I love the variety of plants, and the signature wall is so unique! I can't wait to sign it too. Such a great place to hangout and chat with the incredible staff. The service is absolutely excellent and so is their coffee! I tried the Grasshopper (hot) which is their take on Dubai chocolate, and chose oat milk. I think I'll try it with either milk or dark chocolate next time. I'm just not a fan of white chocolate much. But still I loved the latte so much! There's so many other items i want to try along with their pastries. Keep doing what you're doing Laughing Cat. I'm so happy you're here in the community and just down the street from me. Much love!

I took my fiancee out on a impromptu morning date with some coffee, yard sales , strawberries from our favorite fruit stand and lunch. She loves coffee and I wanted to take her to a new to us place.. i didnt realize laughing cat was a few minutes down the road from us till I saw a video from a local food reviewer who had gone there after they were broken into and robbed.. so i knew we had to go and try their coffee and support them. First of all their logo is super cute and I love all the purple..my favorite color..lol.. the first thing you see when you walk in is the purple food truck painted on the wall around the window you order at and then the big wall on the right of the door where people have signed it when visiting. We walked up to the window and were greeted nicely by 2 staff members.. they explained their seasonal drink and answered any questions we had..they were both so nice. I got a warm chai with regular milk. Temp was good but it did lack flavor. I could barely taste anything like the Chai or cinnamon. My fiancee got their seasonal drink. It was a spin on Dubai chocolate but made with white chocolate. My fiancee LOVED it! I tried it too and it was pretty good. Im just happy she liked it. Cute place with good vibes and friendly staff. We will be coming back and I will be trying the chai again.

Laughing Cat Coffee is a hidden gem in an industrial area of South Reno. Several friends and I have made it our goal to try as many coffee shops as possible in our community. The frequency of the visits were bolstered by a purchase of a home espresso machine. Now I needed fresh beans for said machine. Laughing Cat roasts some of the best beans I've tried and they offer a 20% discount on bags every Saturday.

Laughing Cat Coffee is so adorable inside with best coffee and service! Parking is so easy at the site. Also they have Mother of Macros snacks in their Grab and Go cooler for healthy, delicious snacks. This is one of my favorite coffee spots in Reno!

Hidden gem coffee shop alert! If you're in Reno looking for coffee and love discovering and supporting local, check out Laughing Cat Coffee! Laughing Cat Coffee has been a Roastery for 35 years (wow!) and more recently opened as a coffee shop too. It's located in a warehouse-like building on Airway near Longley. There's plenty of parking in the shared parking lot. They offer a variety of coffee and non-coffee beverages (including ube and matcha). I kept it simple with my typical morning hot latte and loved it. Bought a bag of beans to keep the love going at home. If you want to try different beans, they sell smaller/sampler type bags called 'kittens' - how cute! They also see SportTea (the best, and hard-to-find tea!), and have a small fridge of protein-based snacks from a local baker. And if cold brew is your thing: you can buy it by the growler. Last thing: service is top-notch! There was only one employee working when I was there. She was warm and welcoming with me and the other customers that came in. She's a gem and Laughing Cat is too. Cheers!

This is such a quaint little coffee shop tucked away inside some businesses. I wish it got more attention from none office workers. Its super cute and they even have a variety of beans and teas for purchase. The i side is small, but you see their entire set up of how they prep in the back. Its good for catching up or doing g some work. The cost of the dri ks are decent nothing g too extravagant and the merchandise at little store front is your typical 10+ in cost. The Barnstable was super sweet to everyone who came in. There are also regulars. Making it a good sign to keep on visiting.

this place is super cute! I really love the company name, laughing, cat coffee. When I was going inside, I am engaged with this table that have these little cute bags, half bagged that says kittens. On the left of the shelf are full-size coffee bags that cat coffee. That is super cute! I came here on a Saturday morning, about to leave to go to Lake Tahoe to hang out at the beach. I wanted to get coffee on the way, and sadly I was bummed that they didn't have any pastries that morning. But I did get this really nice iced coffee mocha, but two shots of espresso and it did not disappoint. It had a balance of sweetness and bitterness. It was only one staff member, and she had to make five other drinks. She said that it's going to take some time to make my drink, because she is the only person as I saw him. And it was not busy, but there was a large group. So totally understandable. And she's really nice and friendly. Definitely will come back and recommend to come here if you wanna get some really cute kittens and cat bean coffee. I still haven't tried my coffee beans yet because I need to grind them and I haven't finished my older packs yet. But definitely can't wait to try these. parking was also easy to find as well.

Loved my first visit to Laughing Cat. I had the Purple Cloud ube-flavored latte and it was smooth, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The coconut cream cold foam on top was rich and silky -- a creamy finish that complemented the drink beautifully. The shop is a little tucked away, but that just makes it feel like a hidden gem-- quiet, cozy, and full of charm. While I waited, I checked out their fresh-roasted beans, and the Highlander Grogg immediately caught my attention with its warm, buttery butterscotch aroma, I'll definitely be back to grab a bag. Also really appreciated the neighbor discount-- such a thoughtful touch that adds to the welcoming vibe.

As I stated in my previous review of Laughing Cat Coffee I would visit the establishment again and I did. I chatted with the manager/barista and found out why my first impression was justifiable, but it was due to a technical gaffe: a low battery on the timer that went off prematurely leading to a not-so-good pour over cup of coffee. I tried the same pour over coffee with totally different results. My second visit was a story with a happy ending- my low acid Peruvian coffee was great and more or less what I had envisioned. Four days later (on a Saturday), with 20% off, my spouse and I bought 3 packages of coffee, 3 different types, 3 different distinctive flavors. We are happy and grateful we discovered Laughing Cat Coffee. See you there!
