    Breakfast Sandi
    Rae G.

    This used to be the old Pola Poke I believe and luckily they do still have poke! They've just expanded and included some breakfast items and salads. We had the bagel and schmear as well as the breakfast sandi. For sandwiches, these were very filling! We ate these around 1pm and we were still full around 7pm! They were pretty good too, very thick and had ample amount of sauce. I would give this place more of a 3.5 because the breakfast stuff is served until a certain time. And while they have expanded their menu, their options are still a bit limited. Still a great quick brunch spot though!

    We stopped Lillo Eatery for brunch with the family and had such a great experience. We ordered the za'taar bagel with miso scallion cream cheese, a mochi waffle, a breakfast sandwich, and iced lattes. The za'taar bagel caught my attention since it's not a flavor I've seen before, and it didn't disappoint. It was savory, aromatic, and perfectly balanced with the creamy miso scallion spread. I love places that get creative with their cream cheese options, and this one really stood out. The mochi waffle was another highlight. It was perfectly light and crisp outside, and soft and chewy on the inside, served with fresh fruit. The space itself is bright and airy, with tall ceilings and a relaxed vibe, plus a spacious patio that's perfect for a casual morning. It's such a charming spot for breakfast or brunch. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

    Mochi waffle and bagel and lox

    Looking for a bite for breakfast and remembered that I had been wanting to visit Lillo in NW Reno. Love the interior of this restaurant-spacious, bright, clean and very welcoming. They also have a very nice patio space. We had the mochi waffle and bagel and lox. Salmon was fresh and bagel was prepared well. I love capers and was so glad they added a generous portion. The mochi waffle was delicious-light and sweet. You could just eat it by itself it was that good, but why would you want to when you have delicious ube whipped cream and ripe berries? Very good meal and we will be returning.

    Came by this weekend and was devastated to see that this is closed. Best wishes to the owners on their next adventure!

    My friends and I were out on an early morning hike that was a bit too cold, and we were in need of great brunch and coffee. Happy that we chose to come here. Ordered an avocado toast, mochi waffle and Vacation poke (great name!), and it was all delicious. Coffee served in big mugs were fresh, strong and great. Fresh food that gave us good energy boost but didn't weigh us down... yeah! The service is wonderful too, and outside patio is just comfortable and lovely. Will definitely be back! Very soon!

    Just wow - where has this place been all my life?!? We were absolutely blown away by the selection and are going to have to go back to try all the things we missed! We came in around 10:30 on a Saturday and the staff were all friendly and attentive. It wasn't too busy at all. The restaurant is clean and while the parking lot can be tight with other businesses open, there was plenty of parking. We had the mochi waffle which was delicious though I would not recommend to anyone who doesn't like the taste of powdered sugar. The lox bagel did have a poke twist with strong dill flavoring but it was the best bagel and lox I've had! We came back the next weekend to have it again + the breakfast sandwich. We bought some bagels to take home and were looking forward to enjoying the food all over again! We opted for the miso and scallion cream cheese and it did not disappoint!

    Small cute dinning area. They also have outside seating for warmer weather. I went in with my son after many suggestions to come here. We ordered the mochi waffle to share. It was good but nothing special. My son ordered a poke bowl. He enjoyed it. Everything was fresh. I ordered a salt bagel with their garlic scallion black pepper cream cheese, it was delicious. I wanted to try the kimchi fried rice but they were out. The service was ok. They didn't greet us as we walked in. If I didn't know it was self seating and that you would have to order at the front I would have just sat there because no one says anything. I ordered my food and asked for water. The cashier said ok but never gave me water. Turns out that is self serve I had to figure that out myself as well. We were one of two tables so they weren't busy. I will come back to try other bagels. Hopefully service will be better.

    Came here from school pickup with my son. Cute little place, lots of sunlight and foliage inside. I tried the avocado toast bagel with a side of bacon. The avocado toast was packed with avocado but the bagel itself being chewy and it being open faced made it really messy and difficult to eat. I needed loads of napkins. The flavor is good, I enjoyed the pickled onions. The breakfast sandwich my son ordered is your typical breakfast sando that they added kale to. It was good, didn't make me jump out of seat or anything but he enjoyed it. Overall we had a good first experience:)

    Bagels for breakfast are not my thing but I have to say the bagel flavor choices here are just fantastic. We had the Zatar bagel and I would love to come back for their Miso-Charred Scallion Schmear. We also shared their Shakshuka which was spiced appropriately and the eggs were cooked perfectly. Their patio seating area was a great place for our romantic breakfast date but sitting inside would also be very comfortable is it is nice in there as well. The staff were very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions that we had and our food came out hot and fast. We look forward to trying more of their menu.

    I am so glad to see another cafe in the area! I used to stop here many years ago when it was a cafe of a different name, Lillo's is better! My husband and I had a beautiful breakfast together on their patio. We split the Shakshuka and and a Zatar Bagel and Lox both of which were just lovely. Neither of us are much for standard breakfast fair so this was just so refreshing! Topped off with a latte and hot tea this was a lovely morning. Everyone there was also so kind and helpful. They patiently answered all of my bagel questions! This is a winner of a joint that I can't wait to return to!

    So good! I came in because I heard they just recently opened up and had to stop in to try it! The first thing I noticed were the freshly made bagels! I love avocado toast and they had it on the menu so I had to order it! The garlic bagel was so good and the toppings were so delicious, it was perfect! I plan to go back to try their other items! The service was great! The ladies behind the counter were so pleasant and so inviting. They explained how the bagels are made fresh every morning, which comes from Off Center Bagels! The restaurant was so cute and comforting! I highly recommend stopping by!

    Complimentary Strawberry water

    Run to this place immediately! It's been a few days, but I am still obsessing over the items we tried. Also the service was phenomenal! Everything looked and sounded so good but we couldn't decide. The friendly staff walked us through everything since it was our first time and let us know what their favorite things were. To start I chose the Za'atar bagel with Miso- Scallion Smear. The flavors together were unbelievably good! Nothing like I've ever had before that's for sure. The complimentary strawberry water was also very nice and refreshing. Something I'll definitely be making for myself at home along with a few mint leaves. They have a cute outdoor patio area that provides plenty of shade and they are dog friendly! The last thing we tried was the Mochi waffle with Ube whipped cream and berries. I cannot begin to describe how sensational every single bite was. This may be overrated but honestly, chef's kiss. I was blown away by the texture and flavors of the waffle. It is an absolute must try! I can't wait to go back. I'm so excited to know that this little gem exists and is so close by.

    Shakshuka
    Allyson L.

    Love the outdoor seating. Wish they posted menus around and not just by the cash register. Luckily it was before 11:30 AM, so we could still order the mochi waffle and shakshuka. The mochi waffle wasn't as chewy as mochi usually is. It was a bit dry too. But the Ube cream was delicious. The shakshuka almost tasted like chili but without the meat. Bread was good.

    This small and cosy place had good coffee but not so good bagels. Service was ok. I will go back for the coffee.

    Do you order at the counter?

    Yes

    I read that the patio is dog friendly but would I be able to bring my dog inside to order and then immediately go outside to wait/eat? It's okay if the answer is no! Just want to check before I do anything :)

    Hi Jessica! I depends on how busy we are. If you come in on a weekday afternoon you’d be fine to order inside, but a weekend before 1 is pretty busy and might be a little too… Read more

    My favorite place to get a cocktail in Reno…read more They have a unique "Old Fashioned" with buffalo trace bourbon, moroccan sugar, coconut, tobacco bitters, dehydrated pineapple. It really does not taste anything like an "old fashioned" but it's very good and my usual go-to. Ambiance is cool. Has a very Edgar Alan Poe vibe mixed with an alchemist/speakeasy. They have a small patio as well. Service: top-notch mixologists/alchemists.

    I'm battling this review. I battle rating it for the drinks/ambiance versus the service. The good:…read moreabsolutely the cutest vibe and decor. Love the quality of the drinks as they absolutely put effort and time making quality drinks with quality ingredients. It's relatively small inside so I can only imagine it could get packed in there. We had several drinks and every single one was perfection! The bathroom is the cutest and they have the coolest speakeasy door that the employees use to get to the back (not for the customers). My rant..I'm not from the area so I had NO idea what this place was when I walked by. It looked cute so my husband, myself and child walked up the steps and they sat outside while I went to check it out and see if this was a bar/club/ restaurant. I walked inside and instantly got the death glare from an employee. I instantly said omg I take it this place isn't kid friendly.. he rudely said no. I wanted to clarify and confirm even outside ? He said no. I apologized and they left but the vibe and way he said it was definitely off putting. My sister and I decided to stay for a drink while my husband/child went to walk around. Usually I don't give bad costumer service a chance.. but I realllllllly wanted a drink that one of those others customers were drinking. If this place had better costumer service. It would be a 5
