A Reno Coffee hidden gem. Excellent coffee and just as great service with a smile, which always seems to make a coffee taste that much better. Sarah was very helpful and informative about the beans, roasting process, and drinks. I recommend grabbing some beans to go before or after you sip on your delicious beverage. It's even got a cool sitting area, colorful colors and walls with personality. Well done Laughing Cat! read more

Laughing Cat Coffee - Cool Coffee Art! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

If you just can't stomach another hipster douche with a waxed handlebar mustache serving you overpriced bullshit, I highly recommend Laughing Cat. It's a big old coffee roaster situated in an industrial flat, they're roasting some awesome coffee, you can buy their beans in bulk or enjoy a fantastic latte in their up-front shop, and you won't find a unicycle or beard wax within a country mile. No nonsense. Just great coffee by people who care about the roasting process and are demonstrably taking their beans and their cups to the next level. Skip the trash cup you were gonna buy from some idiot sleeved in tattoos and wearing an absurd monocle and head straight to Laughing Cat instead for the real stuff. read more

The Laughing CAT Coffee in 30 Seconds! Overall: Fantastic coffee with a super friendly staff, unique design with a chill ambiance. 30 year local roaster that sells beans and brews some amazing coffee and tea. What I Had: Mexican mocha iced. It was strong, lightly sweet with a good little mild spice. I ended up buying 4 bags of their coffee to brew at home. Why I dig it: Roasting on-site is fantastic, lots of tea and coffee options, local feel, super friendly staff. read more

Went to the Laughing Cat for coffee yesterday before work as it is on the way. I was surprised to see it empty but maybe it was the time that I went. I was greeted and served in a timely manner. The girl who served me was very polite and even suggested a warmed up chocolate croissant. It was delicious! I also ordered a vanilla iced decaf latte. It was perfectly made. The decor was super cute! As the walls were painted in purple and they had a signature wall, along with a drawing of a "food truck" at the cashier site. Loved that. I will be going back soon. read more

Walked over to Laughing Cat from my business and the cafe is adorable. There is a signature wall of people drawing cats and there is some very talented peeps. They have a few table and chairs if you want to enjoy your coffee on site. We got ours to go. The staff was friendly. They gave our dog a pup cup without us asking. He wants to give them a 5 paws review. The coffee is good too. Medium roast. 100% better than Starbucks!!! Try them out if you're near by. read more

I'm a coffee snob and feel like I have tried a million coffee shops in my life.... After probably my 10th time here today, I officially decided they have the best coffee. It's flavorful, but soooooo smooth. Pairs with everything. Their specials are amazing, they carry mother of macros donuts, they are friendly... that's it. 1 tiny complaint.. I wish they were more centrally located so everyone could see them and know how amazing they are. read more

I love the Laughing CAT! We've been getting our coffee here essentially my whole life! Mark is super knowledgeable and is always happy and willing to answer any questions we have. Lately, we go in and have Mark pick out 5 lbs of his favorite medium roast whole beans and he's never steered us wrong! The tea selection is also great! You really can't go wrong with shopping here! read more

Great on site roasted coffee. I highly recommend the Highlander Grogg which is especially delicious. Really enjoy the wide selection of teas to keep things interesting. Ask the proprietor about each item in his inventory - he has an extensive and extremely compelling recommendation for each item he sells. I had to ask him to stop telling me about different teas before I broke my bank. read more

Laughing Cat Coffee - Store Front - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

So excited The Laughing CAT has reopened. Today I ran in to check out the new digs since changing ownership and grab a pound of coffee. Turns out where I thought I was getting there with 10 mins to spare before they closed, I was arriving 50 mins late. But Steven, the owner, was amazing and invited me in to grab the pound of coffee. The newly refurbished inside looks inviting and cozy. I look forward to going back to grab a cup of coffee and sit next to the big window that lets in the beautiful sunlight. Thanks to Steven, I have coffee for the weekend!! Please stop in and try their coffee that is roasted in house and help keep this local gem going!! read more

Love the coffee here! I really enjoy the Organic Mexican coffee. The owner has great knowledge and can recommend anything you like.

As I travel I'm always looking for the best coffee roaster in town. Mark wins my Reno search. The medium roast Guatemalan beans I tried were roasted to perfection. Great customer service and easy parking right at the door. read more

Laughing Cat Coffee - Store front - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Very cool place. The owner was very knowledgeable and helpful. I LOVE coffee and not just for the caffeine but the flavor. He helped me pick some out based off what I'm looking for and flavors I like. He also gave me a paper to help with how to store coffee and tea and how to brew your tea. I have a little more knowledge in the coffee department so his help with teas was extremely nice. He has a big variety and good brew devices for both coffee and tea if you don't have one. He also has coffee that is shade grown rather than sun so the heartburn is a lot less! (Yay more red sauce food for me! JK! Haha) But definitely check it out if you haven't! He will grind the coffee for you if needed and you can buy a container for it if you don't have one. read more

Such a great place if you love coffee or tea - wonderful, quality products and a nice variety. Plus some great accessories like cups and cards... a fantastic place for gifts!!! Small shop in the industrial park on Airway. read more

This is some of the best coffee I have found! I live all the way in San Diego, California, and was introduced to this coffee while visiting my sister in Reno! I am so glad Mark ships! Even with his store front closed in Reno temporarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we can still get our coffee fix! I ordered two pounds to be shipped to my sisters house in Reno, and two pounds to be shipped to my house in San Diego, and it arrived in just two days! Thank You Thank You Thank You! read more

My wife, Sandi and I have been buying coffee from Mark since the beginning of his store on McCarran Blvd. When he moved to Airway Drive, we continued to purchase his coffee beans. We moved to Sun City West, AZ in 2013 and still have coffee shipped to us or have friends bring some down. Absolutely the best coffee in the business. Keep up the excellent work, Mark.

Stopped at Laughing Cat today and met Mark, the owner and roast master (what else would you call him?). He is a wealth of knowledge and was incredibly gracious in taking the time to talk with me today. I left with a bag of coffee that I am very much looking forward to trying. I am also looking forward to interacting with a local roaster who is genuinely interested in feedback about the product. More soon, but as of right now, Laughing Cat is a great find. read more

It's very rare that one finds a business as special as The Laughing CAT. They have been open in Reno for over two decades, and this shows in their expert knowledge of their high-quality products. I used to live in the Bay Area, and as a tea connoisseur, I visited a lot of the tea shops around there; it's safe to say that this little Reno shop topped all of them. The owners, Mark and Allison, are brother and sister, and it really feels like a healthy, family run business. This shows in the quality of their products as well. They have shelves full of different types of teas from all around the world, and the owners are experts at every single one. Allison will give you a tour of all the smells, describe the tastes, and tell you stories about where the teas come from or how they are made. They take a lot of pride in their products too; they won't sell a tea unless it has been tasted to be top quality. Their coffee area is equally impressive. They have many different varieties that Mark roasts on the premisses, as well as exotic ones from around the world; it's unlike anything I've seen. Mark's extensive knowledge of his coffee will help you find your favorite, and you'll keep coming back for the best coffee you've ever had! This place is a hidden gem that deserves to be found. It's truly a world-class coffee/tea store. read more

Fantastic coffee. Owner knows what you want! Lol I will never go back to store coffee, it's not in the same league. Grab a lb of Guatemalan roast. Life changing read more

The C.A.T. (coffee & tea) has been a Reno institution for 19 years. Mark, owner and roaster & originally from the bay area, brings a decidedly San Francisco style of roasting to Reno long before the chains arrived. He roasts daily and has over 20 different varieties and roasts from around the world including decaf and flavored. He also has over 25 specialty teas, that he and his sister have personally selected. Mark and his sister Alison, share their extensive knowledge of close to 20 years with the customer. Their shop includes a full spectrum of specialty drinks and provides a couple of tables to enjoy them. Mark is the local distributor for Davinci syrups. His prices are low when compared to the chains, most coffee's sell for $10.50 a pound ( a bargain). As a small business, Mark has a minimum of $20 on the use of credit cards and ATM cards but accepts checks. read more

Coffee is delicious!! Highlander Grog is my absolute favorite!! Currently enjoying the cranberry cream and the Kenya. Love that this place provides such quality coffee beans. read more

Been coming here for seven years because Mark is an excellent roaster and procurer of high-quality beans. I've tried a lot of beans from all over, and these are consistently the best: perfectly roasted and flavorful without being overwhelming. My favorites are the Black Cat and the Monsooned Malabar. Bonus: if you call ahead, they'll prep your order and have it ready to go. I dread the day Mark retires. read more

I'm glad I flipped a U-turn and went here, finally. After a couple of years driving by and wanting to check this place out, New Years Eve 2015 was that day. I was amazed by the smell when I walked in, it is dated looking and there's a lot going on. I'm giving 4 stars for the owner not acknowledging me or saying hello until after 10 minutes of standing there looking around. He was talking to a customer (maybe a regular), I guess you could say he gets SO into talking to his customers and teaching them about coffee and tea, that he didn't realize I was there...? Anyways, typically I go for medium roast coffees, so when he finally gave me his attention, we narrowed the options down to only medium roast blends. I've been wanting to try local coffees after getting grossed out by grocery store coffee, which is always dry and bland. Mark and I decided on the Ethiopian, the Brazilian, and one of his most popular blends, the Highlander Grogg. Out of those I would have to say the Ethiopian is my favorite. I've been grinding the Highlander Grogg myself and brewing a pour over cup, it smells like waffles and maple syrup, but it's not a flavored coffee - it's amazing. All in all, I will definitely be going back for more coffee on a monthly basis. After brewing these I am very spoiled and Starbucks just doesn't come close. read more

My husband and I are very much into coffee. We have a very expensive home espresso machine and grinder set up in our kitchen and went to see what this place was all about. We currently buy coffee and get it shipped monthly from Oregon. Since this place had good reviews we thought we'd check it out and maybe convert to a local place. When went went the door was locked even though it was opening hours. As we walked to the car a guy shouted, " what you don't have a phone." We responded with, "well yeah but we were just coming by to check your place out and see what you had." He then said, "there isn't anything to look at. It's just coffee in containers." Why yes sir that's what we expected... you're a coffee roaster... that is what we were thinking at that point. Since the guy seemed irritated that a customer might be interested in his coffee we just left and won't ever come back. How about next time you invite the customers in to go over what you have to offer instead of making them feel stupid for trying to spend their money at your business. Their loss. There are few people who are as knowledgeable and into coffee as we are. We will gladly keep our business where it is. read more

We love this guys coffee. My hubby really likes their house blend which we make into espresso at home. A nice deep roast, which doesn't have a burnt taste-hello Starbucks. Highly recommend. Store is in a strip industrial mall by the airport. He has brewing equipment and tea too read more
