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

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

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

This is simply the best place to get fresh coffee beans in Reno. The owner is always helpful as far as choosing the right bean and roast for you. Always has a good selection, and always very friendly read more

The Laughing CAT is such an amazing place for coffee as well as tea. Mark is so knowledgeable and friendly. You can take your time figuring out what you want. The prices are the lowest in Reno despite having the best variety and quality.He even has a price match policy. At roughly $6 for half a pound of coffee, I don't think the price could be beat anyway. I truly don't understand why this place isn't more popular. Though I am not a tea connoisseur, I keep trying all the different types of tea they have. Every single one I tried is amazing. This place is truly a diamond in the rough. read more

Nice place! Too bad it's hidden in such a low traffic area. Really good selection of high quality teas. The prices may seem high, but the quality is there. The prices match the internet pricing. You just save on shipping. I got following teas: 1. Very Berry - Really tasty and aromatic. Would be great in the middle of winter! 2. Pink Lemon Zest - So citrusy, but not sour. Love it! 3. Tropical Green - Smells great, but I didn't get to this one yet. The store has a lot of coffee too. I did not buy any though. Next time. The place is manned by Steve - very friendly guy. You can easily spend 30 min just chatting. If you want to try tea before you splurge, you can have a cup and try it out(not sure how much it costs). The store has some unusual opening hours: Tue-Fri till 5pm, and Sat 10-3pm. The only minus is, you need to spend at least 20 USD before you can use your credit card. Also having a website would be nice. Those are small things though. Overall, I think I will be a regular Thank you! read more

I found The Laughing C.A.T years ago when I was searching for organic whole bean coffee in Reno. At the time no one else was roasting a quality product. I remain a loyal customer. The quality is excellent and the prices reasonable. Mark Fleming is a master roaster and is dedicated to a quality product. His sister, Alison, is the tea expert and offers unique delicious blends. Both Mark and Alison infuse their shop and their products with consciousness and care. Drop in for the brew, stay for the conversation! read more

My husband saw his sign and wanted to try this place. OMGosh! Mark the owner was so, so knowledgeable about his product and I learned so much about coffee in a short time. He was very friendly and found out he's been in business for many years. Where have we been! We will no longer buy store bought coffee. We've found something amazing here. Can't wait to try the tea. Best cup of coffee EVER! read more

Great place if you're a coffee fanatic like me! The owner was very friendly and knowledgeable about his roasts and theres so many roasts to pick from! Support local!! read more

During these difficult times please remember to support our local businesses. Their coffee is amazing, fresh, and a variety to choose from.

I found this place by accident. I wanted some coffee and I thought it was a coffee shop. I came in and I was sad to realize it wasn't a coffee shop. However, the owners said they would make me a cup if I wanted. This shop is not a coffee shop but they sell coffee beans and teas. They were SUPER knowledgeable and learned a lot about tea and coffee. I ended up buying some tea and I loved it. I will come back to purchase some coffee beans and tea again. I love that they know everything about what they sell and are very passionate about it! Support local business!! Highly recommend this place. read more

The laughing CAT is the only place you should go to for coffee and tea. My partner and I lived in Reno a year ago and I only drank laughing cat coffee- the Guatemala roast is so delish! I moved up to Oregon and couldn't find a roaster that I liked as much, so I decided to order online. After I made the order, Mark, the owner, called me to make sure I got the perfect grind on my coffee. Two days later, my coffee and tea arrived, carefully packaged and perfectly grounded. If you are just beginning your coffee journey, or if you are a connoisseur, this is the place for you! read more

We found this place on Yelp while visiting from California and wanted to give it a try. The owner was very knowledgeable and advised us on different roasted coffees he makes there and helped us settle on a couple of different blends. Then he showed us his teas which we purchased a couple of different blends as well. A very nice place and we will be back. A very relaxed atmosphere to shop in. read more

This is the only place you need to patronize for coffee and tea. Mark has everything you could want and need, and the quality is above and beyond. Mark-I came in last week, and being ignorant of your Covid rules, had shown up without having pre-ordered. You were so kind to have accommadated me. And, your description of the Rawanda coffee was spot-on. It's now one of my favorites. Thank you again! I'll be back soon. read more

The best darn roasted coffee I have ever tasted anywhere... I am in San Francisco/Marin County where daughter continues to try to convince me that they have superior roasted coffee beans (we gave her a Breville expresso machine for Christmas). In my humble opinion, nothing beats Allison's Blend from the Laughing Cat and the aromas coming from Mark's shop and friendly banter. Nothing. read more

"You have to try this blueberry coffee!!" I sat and stared at my coworker for several minutes before asking "blueberry coffee? There is no such thing as good blueberry coffee." I have never been so glad to be proved wrong in my life! Just the smell of their coffee makes me happier and the taste matches the smell. There are numerous delicious flavors and they all run the risk of making you a coffee addict. Great place for a nice gift or something really special for the coffee snob in your life! read more

I will travel all the way from Sparks to South Reno to buy coffee from Laughing CAT. While there you can also have any kind of authentic coffee drink you can think of, but it doesn't look like a coffee shop since it is in an industrial building. The folks are very nice and love to chat, so for excellent brew, stop by. read more

My parents ran out of coffee & my mom has been getting her coffee here for the past few mos. She wanted to try new coffees to find a good one (they have been in a coffee rut lately). She found this place and instantly fell in love w/ the owner & his sis & has been very adamant on only coming here. So I drove like a crazy person to get here before they closed (I got stuck in traffic & had 5min to get here, I was more than 5min away) I made it at exactly 5p (closing time) they were still open!! Sis told me to call next time & they would stay open for me if it wasn't super long after closing. Ridiculously nice. Now I'm in love w/ these people!! read more

Great place to buy awesome well roasted coffee beans...A true coffee connoisseur... I liked the blueberry and chocolate almond flavored beans read more

This place is incredible. You don't know coffee until you have been here. Mark has spent 27 years in this and he is the man. He roasts the beans in house to perfection and the teas are all unique flavors from all over! If you have a question about coffee, he KNOWS. I don't go anywhere else. read more

See all

Boutique-style coffee sales. The owner/roaster is quite a character, and fun to talk to! Great place pick up some coffee if you're serious about coffee. read more

This is the best roasting company ever! I've been coming for the last two years (since I moved to Nevada). Mark is awesome and so interesting! If you like great coffee you're going to love The Laughing Cat!! My favorite is Organic Timor and Highlander Grog! My husband loves Black Cat and Monsoon Malabar. read more

Best place for beans in Reno! Great selection of flavored and non-flavored options. Mocha Java (not flavored) and the Blueberry (sounds weird but just try it) are my two favorites. read more

A better name for this establishment may be "Coffee Guru " because this place is holy to the bean and Mark showed me what a good bean can become. read more

The best coffee in Reno, hands down. You can see his roaster in the back of the shop. Freshly roasted coffee at a fair price. Mark is great, go see him! read more

Best coffee beans in the universe . No joke! Go see Mark at Laughing Cat. I stop by when I visit family and have this shipped to me at home. Amazing coffee at better prices than the major competitors. read more

We have lived all over the U.S. and love coffee the way wine people love their vintages. When we first moved here in 2000, we tracked this place down on the advice of a friend. We were astounded at the first cups we brewed. Mark is an absolute master roaster! The depth of knowledge he has about coffee (not just that year's crop, but the regional geo-politics that so often affect shipments and quantities available) will mesmerize you. The tea selection is the broadest in Reno, and Alison knows the blends, types and uses of each leaf. If you love coffee and tea, really LOVE IT, then make the trek to Laughing C.A.T.! read more

This place has the best whole bean coffee in town. Mark knows coffee inside and out and will happily educate new customers on all things coffee. It's locally owned, the staff is always friendly, their coffee is excellent, and their prices are very reasonable! I've been a happy customer for 2 years now. read more

Absolutely love the owner , he's always very informed and very helpful with whatever you're looking for a coffee or tea wise. The prices of everything are very reasonable. I haven't been able to sit down and just have a cup of coffee but overall the atmosphere is wonderful. Whenever someone asks me where to go for a local coffee roaster or for different teas I definitely recommend them to try out laughing cat. read more

My camp has been purchasing this coffee for years to take out to the Playa with us, with nothing but rave reviews from anyone who samples it. It is ground for us in advance of our pickup, and any order you place is promptly and well filled. Look no further for a lovely roast that NEVER has a burned flavor. WE LOVE YOU GUYS, LAUGHING CAT! See you in 2014! read more

Coffee is so good and very fairly priced! These people are the OG's of coffee roasting and tea in Reno. read more

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

Best place to buy coffee anywhere! Just made some of the new Uganda Organic (Vienna Roast). My new favorite!

I came in here to find an herbal tea for my husband, but they didn't have quite what I was looking for. Rather than try and sell me on what he had, the gentleman recommended another shop in town and took time to make sure I knew where it was located! The coffee smelled divine and the staff was extremely knowledgeable about their product. Awesome local shop! read more

Haven't even been here but just got done talking to the owner and he is the most honest coffee roaster I've ever spoken too. I'm very impressed. Can't wait to actually visit. This guy knows his stuff! read more

When I was a Reno resident, I found Laughing Cat in it's previous location ... years ago, and I followed Mark to where he is now. I always enjoyed stopping in, and the personal service is great. Now that I'm in NJ, I still mail order Black Cat Coffee ... best coffee on the planet, I think, and the service is fast, efficient and still personal. Don't know how he's done it all these years, but kudos, Mark!! read more

Lovely teas. And you can buy as little as a 1/4 pound. Makes it nice if you like to taste many varieties. Owner very knowledgeable and helpful. read more

Best coffee in northern Nevada. Been buying there for over 10 years. One suggestion try different coffee blends. We found what we like best after trying 4 or 5 different blends. read more

A really outstanding roaster... Try the house blend! They are both friendly and knowledgable... I learn something new about coffee every time I go. read more

The Laughing C A T is very local - I have been buying coffees and teas (C A T) with them for at least three decades. The coffee roasting and blending is on-site in the warehouse part with a retail store up front, so expect to look for it out of the hipper places in town. Mark has a great selection of coffees, always some standards and often very new and really unique styles as the market changes. The tea selection is seriously world class. Maybe over half of his business is repeat orders from all over North America from very satisfied customers. There are no overstuffed chairs, no pretentiousness, no espresso machine that I have seen and no bitter or "burnt" coffee. Just a great selection of coffees and teas at a fair price from a super long time, local, small business with great customer service and a very loyal fan base. Try it and you should be one also. read more
