    Gingerbread latte, white chocolate cranberry mocha
    Lucia L.

    If you haven't BEAN to Lighthouse Coffee yet, you definitely have to! It's always a de-LIGHT finding a local coffee shop with a high quality cup of joe, and Lighthouse Coffee is definitely a good option, with three locations in Sparks/Reno. I honestly had low expectations considering that it's a chain + has a drive-through, but the quality of the coffee and the kind, personable service of the baristas quickly blew any qualms away. We ordered their seasonal lattes - the gingerbread latte and the white chocolate cranberry mocha, and we were pleasantly surprised by how well crafted each drink was. They were able to do customizations such as half caffeine + alternative milks like oat milk, and I appreciated how they took the time to pour beautiful latte art for us. My boyfriend tells me that there's long lines in the morning at this Sparks location, and I can totally see why! This cute little coffee shop is definitely well worth the hype, and I can't wait to be back to try more of their drinks and get some studying + work done here!

    Cute coffee stop. Drive thru is a bit tricky thru the back alley. Open early and visit with the morning commuters. Plan about 15 minutes for your beverage. Girls are friendly and work at their own pace! The lattes have always been a bit too sweet for me. Do not hesitate to ask for lighter syrup. They have a nice seasonal selection of drinks.

    Iced Caramilla with SF Vanilla

    I always ask for my Caramilla to be as sugar free as possible... And there is a gentleman that works that that makes it delicious EVERY TIME. Sometimes, other employees say they can't... But, he always jumps right in and makes it for me. Thank you sir for making my day when I need that cup of coffee

    So the wife and love this coffee shop don't go as much as we should. This morning we walked down and grabbed coffee. The staff were nice and friendly we sat and enjoyed our coffee. Place has a cool relaxing vibe. We love the drive through there is nice too.

    They have a wide variety of drinks to choose from and also offer some baked goods from Beloved. Their menu is easy to read. The service was friendly and very efficient. I had my drink in my hand within five minutes of ordering. My coffee was delicious The employees give good vibes.

    Opted to pop in during a 5 mile walk this morning. Very nice coffee spot atmosphere. Really kind staff and great coffee. The Gibraltor is 2 shots espresso with steamed milk topping. Fire! This place is thriving from the looks of it. Lots of patrons today. I also noticed alot of macro type donuts and healthy smoothies on the menu.

    Veggie quiche
    Victoria V.

    First time here and came in on a Saturday around 1230pm. Not busy at all. The place is cute and clean, plenty of seats for friends or studying. I ordered a sausage and egg quiche and wife ordered a vegan burrito as well as a Caramel coffee and chai. Upon waiting, barista told me they didn't have the quiche I ordered, but only 1 out of the 5 or 6 options of quiche was available. Kinda bummed and weird how they don't know their own inventory. If I would've known, I wouldn't have ordered anything to eat. But I ended up just trying the veggie quiche. Now don't get me wrong, the service is nice and the place is pretty chill, I liked it. But what I didn't like was the food and coffee. My veggie quiche was scorching hot in parts of it and once you got into it, it was pretty cold in the middle and throughout, so the potatoes in it were off putting because of the cold temp. The salsa that comes with it tastes like the salsa from the store, nothing special. My wife's burrito was pretty spotty with the temp as well, parts scorching and parts not just warm, but cold. The chai was iced but tasted room temperature if not warm, and the caramel coffee I had was nice and cold, BUT had a sourness to it. Overall the place and people were nice, but what they offered and how we received it took me by surprise, mainly due to the good reviews they have. I think due to the products received, we will think twice before coming back.

    Solid coffee shop with decent offerings and excellent customer service. My wife loves the coffee, I got an energizing seltzer and buttered bagel. I thought the bagel was good, but I didn't like the butter - though there's a possibility it may have been mistakenly cream cheese or a mix. The seltzer was good and hit the spot, but could stand a little more flavor. The real standout was the customer service which was prompt, great communication and problem solving, and very courteous. Will definitely be back to try some more options.

    It was our first time here, and we absolutely loved it! We ordered two cappuccinos with half and half--one with sugar-free hazelnut syrup and the other with sugar-free Irish crème. Both were delicious, but the Irish crème stood out as the clear favorite. The ambiance was wonderful, and the baristas were incredibly sweet and welcoming. I highly recommend this place--10/10!

    Interior, 4 berry smoothie
    Mike B.

    Great Vibes & Smoothies Cool spot with a stylish interior and a welcoming vibe. The staff was friendly, and the service was great. I tried the 4 Berry Smoothie--perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. Excited to come back and try more from the menu. Definitely worth a visit!

    Iced caramel latte with oatmilk. Absolutely delicious!
    Andrea D.

    Absolutely loved this experience! We decided to go through the drive-thru and it was quick even with a line. The staff had such a bright and lovely demeanor and was very helpful while we tried to figure out what flavors we wanted our lattes to be. We ordered 4 lattes, a cold brew and a hot coffee and everyone enjoyed their drinks.

We looked the roastery up and drove over. Tim was such a nice and welcoming guy, and really takes pride in what he does. We bought a bunch of bags and filled up our carry-on and flew home with it. Fast forward to 2 years later, we hare happy Coffee of the Month subscribers and look forward to getting Tim's coffee in the mail. We've gifted the subscription to our friends and family too, and everyone loves it. Perfect for the coffee lover in your life. I look forward to grinding up these beans and enjoying the most delicious French pressed coffee every morning. I feel so lucky we followed our curiosity that one day in Reno.

It would not be out of place in a three-Michelin-star dining room. He roasts every batch himself over a wood fire, feeding a beautiful old roaster with logs he chops by hand. His espresso blends are composed with a level of precision that feels almost synesthetic. Ask him what he is aiming for and he will describe the roast in shapes: how wide the base should be, whether it tapers or flares, how many sides the finished polygon has. I have stood there listening, fascinated, with no real idea what he is talking about, then tasted the cup and understood anyway. Important to know: this is not a coffee shop. There is no barista counter. It is a modest storefront and warehouse, and if you stop by you will likely see Tim at the roaster, stoking the fire. The aroma is arresting from the street. That wood fire imparts a signature note that sets his coffee apart. It does not turn smoky in the jerky sense. It reads as a gentle campfire thread running through the cup, adding warmth and dimension without heaviness. Since moving away from Reno I miss these beans enough that I cave and pay the shipping. If you order Priority Mail, the bags arrive right in the early sweet spot of their drinkability window, perfect for dialing in extraction. If you know your way around a grinder and an espresso machine, get these beans. Tim Curry is an amazing craftsman making world-class coffee, one hand-roasted batch at a time.

If you are looking for cute and cozy, this probably isn't your vibe. It was pretty cold, and the tables and chairs were just basic hard white furniture and the barstools didn't look particularly comfortable either. We probably would have stayed for another cup but both of us were feeling restless and my legs were starting to get numb after sitting for a while.

This location is a small shop with only a little bit of seating indoors and a few tables outdoors. This is primarily the roasters location, so it's a great place to enjoy the freshest of coffee but also a great place to purchase beans. They had a very large selection of beans for purchase. They still offer a decent menu and a few snacks, though much smaller than the other location. My wife enjoyed a matcha and I enjoyed one of the exclusive roastery blends on drip. Both drinks were very good. The quality of the drip coffee was superior. I want to visit again and try a coffee flight. That's something I've always wanted to do. Overall, friendly staff, delicious coffee, and even though it's hard to find, this hidden gem is well worth the stop. Cheers!
