    Iced caramilla
    Teuila G.

    Super quick service. This visit staff was more friendly than past previous visits here. It was busy and the shop was just as I remembered. I met my sister at the Marina for a few laps and we popped in to grab a drink. We didn't order any food items because we were going to brunch afterwards. I needed my caffeine fix after my hot class to be able to last the extra laps before brunch. I ordered my usual iced oatmilk caramilla and my sister in law got a hot mocha. We enjoyed our drinks while strolling the marina. We'll be back in next time we're in the area.

    Really cute and fun space designed for a variety of customers. Stopped by on a Tuesday afternoon and had a pleasant ordering experience. Hardly any wait for my beverage (dirty chai) and there are lots of food and drink options! There's very sunny patio seating, and three seating zones inside. Seems to be a kid-friendly space; there were several moms with toddlers. There were also people working on laptops and reading, so it seems like a solid spot for whatever you need it to be. Will be back!

    I think this is one of the best chais in the Reno/Sparks area. They have a standalone location in sparks and then one at the marina, which is pictured here. It's a great location to grab a coffee and take a stroll around the marina. I've always had very friendly service here too!

    Great and fast service as usual. The young lady did great getting our orders and accommodating with the food preferences we have. I Highly recommend !

    We like to stop here after walking around the marina. I haven't been there when there wasn't a line, not a fast moving line but manageable. I saved an outdoor table while hubby and friend ordered and waited for our items. The quiche was tasty and it was made with hash browns as the crust, which I liked. It was cheesy and the olives were yummy! The blended drink was refreshing. Hubby and friend got smoothies mango and 3 berry with protein powder. They enjoyed them. Outside was shady a nice place to visit and people watch.

    Irish cream latte

    We saw that they had pistachio lattes so we went. They did not, but the other coffee that we had was good. We had a strawberry donut and berry coffee cake. The coffee cake was dry and the donut wasn't good. We won't be back.

    I love coming to Lighthouse Coffee for the views, seasonal drinks, and cozy atmosphere. The service is always great, with a very friendly staff. I visited this weekend and ordered the Winter Spice Latte - the aroma was inviting, and the drink was perfectly sweet and flavorful. I loved how the spices complemented the coffee. 10/10 recommend this place!

    Lighthouse Coffee is hands-down my favorite spot in town. They always have great options, and everything tastes good and is clearly thoughtfully crafted. My newest obsession is their mango matcha - it is to die for. If you haven't tried it yet, you're seriously missing out! Also with their new interior revamp there is more room for sitting and hanging out!

    I always go to the Marina location because of the nice view while drinking coffee. The baristas are ALWAYS so friendly and welcoming. I love most of their drinks but I feel like their matcha's hit or miss. Their Blended Caramilla is my go to order. I tried the Tiramisu Latte and it was good! Their Dubai Chocolate was too sweet. The Mango Matcha felt like it needed more matcha to it. The mango at the bottom tastes good though!

    Iced matcha with a bacon and cheddar scone (in bag)

    Where do I start?! I love finding smaller local coffee shops. I kept hearing about this place (I just moved here from Sacramento). People have said they have great coffee and food. So I had to stop in and try something. I got the matcha, a bacon and cheddar scone and a chocolate milk for my daughter. The scone was AMAZING. The matcha was GREAT! Next time I'm trying their coffee. Ambiance is cute. Small inside area and a wonderful outdoor seating area too!

    Located at the Sparks Marina Park. We were walking the loop around the lake and made a stop here to get some coffee and breakfast sandwich. There is seating inside and outside the store. It was busy but wasn't too bad.

    Rodolfo and an Americano.

    Great spot with some great employees. The coffee is so much better than your chain coffee shops. They've also got a rewards program that keeps me coming back. So if you're tired of just bad bean coffee go to the lighthouse. I'm there at least once a week.

    I have heard great things about Lighthouse but we are just never over on that side of town! Well, we were assigned the Sparks Marina for our volunteer work this week and I just knew we would have to stop for a break. Turns out, Saturday evening was the perfect time for a tea! I had the Raspberry Matcha which I LOVED and my hubby enjoyed his coffee as well. This cute little shop is def a hidden gem. While it is small on the inside their patio area with the view of the water is something special. On top of that, everyone was very friendly and our drinks were done almost as fast as we ordered them! Maybe, I will just have to make more special trips over to enjoy their offerings!

    This place felt like Willy Wonka opened a milkshake bar for the Instagram generation…read more We stopped by Black Rock Dessert while looking for ice cream and instead found milkshakes on steroids. We ordered the Dust Storm: a vanilla milkshake with chocolate bits, topped with a giant blondie skewered dramatically on top, plus whipped cream, sprinkles, and chocolate drizzle. The rim of the jar was coated in marshmallow dip and graham cracker crumbs because apparently subtlety has left the chat. Honestly, the presentation was on point and exactly the kind of milkshake kids dream about. Which is why we ordered it. My tween declared it "the best milkshake I've ever seen in my life," and honestly, that alone made it worth the stop on our mother-daughter trip. Taste-wise, it leaned very sweet for me and didn't have a ton of flavor depth beyond sugar overload. But clearly the goal here is maximal fun and aesthetic, and they absolutely nailed that. It's basically a photo op you can drink. The shop itself was surprisingly quiet when we visited in the evening--we had the whole place to ourselves--but there were games to play while waiting for our order (we pulled out Pick Up Sticks, which transported me straight back to my 90s childhood living room). The ladies at the counter were also incredibly kind and patient explaining the menu and flavors to us. If you're looking for an over-the-top dessert experience your kids will talk about for days, this is your place.

    I am a bit torn on Black Rock, but it's a great dessert spot nonetheless…read more Stopped in at Black Rock Dessert on a Thursday evening. Just one lone employee was running the place. In my opinion, it wasn't enough. There was a steady flow of people, and she couldn't keep up with orders and customer service. We opted for two small scoops of ice cream for the kids: chocolate and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. We also ordered the sizzling blonde brownie sundae. It was about $20 for three items. The ice cream was very good, especially the Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Very unique flavor and great texture. The blondie was a bit of a letdown. First, the blondie was not "sizzling". It wasn't even really warm. Only placed in a waffle iron for a few seconds. Second, it seemed very dry and crumbly, maybe even overbaked. I thought the ideas at Black Rock are fun, and I think trying one of their milkshakes should be my next visit. However, there are a lot of great ice cream spots in Reno. For just ice cream, I think there is some heavy competition.

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.

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.

The frosting wasn't overly sweet, but our cake slices were on the dry side. I wish at about $9 a slice they were dated, so as a consumer, I knew when it was baked. The cake bomb is the way to go if you want dry cake or wash it down with a glass of milk. *They do a stamp card here, so ask for yours when you check out.* With their prices creeping up, I'll have to rethink my next visit to buy a dry slice of cake.
