    Pangolin is such a cute café in Midtown! The complimentary Turkish sweet treat that comes with your drink is the cherry on top and makes the whole experience feel extra special. The café has a crisp, clean vibe that's both welcoming and relaxing. The drinks are delicious, the prices are standard, and that little Turkish treat is what really makes it all worth it. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is charming, and it's a perfect spot to relax or catch up with friends.

    Oatchata (oatmilk w cinnamon and vanilla)
    Lexine F.

    The ambiance is super cute and a cozy cafe to sit and yap at. There is places to sit inside and outside. They offer one free turkish delight with a purchase of any drink. I ordered the oatchata. It was really creamy and had a nice balance of oat milk, vanilla and cinnamon. There were two employees manning both the bar and register. They worked really well together and tag teammed the rush of people waiting to order and to get their drinks.

    The Pangolin Cafe made the perfect coffee stop! It is a small, busy shop so if you plan on sitting inside get there early. The coffee was good quality and the pastry was delicious. They even give out free Turkish delights with your order.

    Tucked away is this cute little shop that has a big coffee and tea menu. They also make their own Turkish delight and a free piece is given with every purchase. I tried the pomegranate pistachio and it was very good with my matcha latte. Indoor seating. Please come and create your own adventure.

    Wonderful coffee drinks and Turkish delights! They have a seasonal drink menu. I got the mango sticky rice matcha, great mango flavor to complement the matcha. Do not miss out on their chai, it is the best in town. Turkish delights are out of this world.

    Matcha and vanilla rose Turkish delight

    One of my favorite local spots! The staff is always so nice and make the bests drinks. Anything matcha here is a win. And the Turkish delight that comes with every order is simply delightful!!! Calm clean interior, perfect for studying or hanging out.

    really cute ambiance. interesting seasonal latte- mango + sticky rice matcha! it was a little too sweet/thick for my liking, but I love the creativity and would return to try a different beverage.

    Pistachio latte with complimentary sour raspberry Turkish delights
    Shar C.

    Really nice vibes. I love that a Turkish delight accompanies every coffee order. Their Turkish delights are delicious, and there are a variety of flavors to choose from including fruit flavors, such as grapefruit and lemon, sour flavors such as sour raspberry, and nutty flavors such as pistachio and pomegranate pistachio. I like the environment for hanging out with friends, and the outdoor patio is a nice touch.

    Vanilla latte

    Such a cute little Cafe with adorable decorations and a patio for relaxing at while enjoying your beverage of choice. Don't forget your complimentary Turkish delight. The coffee is delicious and the staff is very friendly.

    Banana cold foam matcha latte
    Jacqueline D.

    I was in town only for a day but I always need my matcha fix, so I went in trusty Yelp to find where I would get that. Pangolin Cafe is a very aesthetically designed space with a peaceful and stylish vibe. I had a few questions and the girl working was very friendly and gracious. She recommended the banana cold foam matcha and I went with it. The drink was a very carefully handcrafted treat , and it came with a free Turkish delight as well! I would definitely visit again next time I'm in Reno, thank you Pangolin!

    This coffee shop was amazing! I saw it online and had to check it out. The baristas were incredibly kind and recommended their miso brown sugar matcha when I asked for matcha suggestions. I loved how it had both sweet and umami taste to it - it surprisingly worked really well together. My boyfriend ordered the pistachio latte, which was also delicious. I especially liked the crushed pistachios on top; it was a really nice touch. With each drink purchase, we also received two complimentary Turkish delights. We tried the pomegranate and pistachio flavors, and both were yummy. I will definitely be coming back the next time I'm visiting Reno.

    Strawberry Matcha, Banana Matcha,Vanilla Matcha
    Alexia H.

    There is usually a bit of a wait, but it is 100% worth it,the matcha here is incredibly good! A super sweet bonus is that every purchase comes with a free piece of Turkish candy. Highly recommend!

    Turkish delights. Yummy!

    After hearing about Pangolin for many years, we finally made it on a Sunday morning. (Note: They are closed on Saturdays.) It's a quaint coffee shop with some food menu item. My hubby ordered an Americano and I ordered their special liege waffle with strawberries and cream. This was delightful. It was my dessert after having a pizza lunch. We also received a complimentary piece of kiwi strawberry Turkish delight. It was a fun discovery to finally check out Pangolin Cafe.

    Are the turkish delights made with gelatin?

    For the vegans out there, we do not use gelatin! Thanks for asking.

However The presentation was good, the restaurant was clean, and the employees super friendly. I got the breakfast crepe and my wife got the Montecristo. Between the two the Montecristo was better because it had the jam, so it was sort of a mix between a sweet crepe and savory crepe. Honestly though, I probably wouldn't come back

    It was December 25th, Christmas Day, when we realized that almost everything around us was closed…read moreand we had no choice but to look for breakfast inside our hotel. While searching, we noticed that most nearby places had bad reviews, which already felt discouraging. Still, we were hungry and decided to give this place a try. There was one employee wearing a cute Christmas hair accessory, it looked a bit cartoonish and was kind of funny. Unfortunately, that was probably the highlight. The food and the overall style of the place were disappointing. Plastic plates and utensils, a breakfast burrito that fell apart because it wasn't wrapped properly (I didn't take a photo, but trust me, it did), and a large savory breakfast pancake with something resembling béchamel... or a very poor imitation of it. To make things worse, the table we were seated at was dirty, and my husband actually had to clean it himself. To be fair, the coffee, the salsa verde that came with my husband's burrito, and the crepe on its own were pretty good. But as a whole, the meal just wasn't enjoyable or well-executed. I understand this is meant to be a very casual, fast-service concept, but even with that in mind, the execution and cleanliness were disappointing. So, I wouldn't recommend spending money here, even if everything else is closed.

    What an absolute banger of a find. It's next to impossible to find a good southern biscuit this far…read morewest, but Pine State has it figured out. I tried the McIsley (fried chicken, dill pickles, ground mustard, honey) and nearly passed out from pure bliss. The biscuit is golden brown on the outside while warm and pillowy within. You'll need a fork and knife, but the menagerie of sweet and savory building blocks will come together any which way you deconstruct it. My wife tried The Chatfield (fried chicken, cheddar, bacon, apple butter) and was equally content. The Oregon Marionberry jam was a tart yet sweet customized side, and I much enjoyed the fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese to round off the plate. The breading is evenly blasted with seasoning and the tomatoes themselves are plump but not the least bit soggy. Without a doubt though, the service was unmatched. They handled a line going out the front door with class, getting us tables before we even ordered to remove the burden of seat searching and our food getting cold. They checked on the dining area promptly though they didn't have to. The staff's hospitality matches the southern inspo of the food! We sat outside and enjoyed the slight breeze as the heavenly baked aromas of the kitchen wafted outside. Overall, an 11/10 experience. Love biscuits? Run, don't walk!

The only downside is their weird seating rules. I was in a party of 2 and they would not ring us up until a table for 2 opened up as I did not want to sit at the bar. For context there were multiple areas for parties of 4 and I found that a little annoying. I think what they should have done was sit us at a party of 4 table and move us if there was a party of 4 waiting and only a table for 2 available.

Check out his epic Instagram congratulations blast: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJR_-CuSXKx/?igsh=MTh3bDgwMHoxeWw4 The Great Full Gardens is a local favorite and must stop when in Reno near a meal time. I don't get to the Midtown location very often, but when I do, I'm glad I came. Located in a little shopping center off Virginia Street it's centrally located in the heart of Reno. Outdoor/Indoor seating is available offering a nice shaded and/or air conditioned dining area. The food is always some of the best around with one of the cleanest set of offerings you could hope to find on a single menu...! Lots of organic and wholesome choices. I usually go for a lot less carby of a meal, but today I was feeling a Grilled Cheese made their way with several melted cheeses on sourdough with tomatoes and pesto aioli. So delicious! No matter which Great Full Gardens you're near, try it. You'll be a fan! And if you're in Midtown, hopefully you get King Tracy as your rock star server!

    I was so excited to try this place after reading so many great reviews, which made our experience…read moreeven more disappointing. When we arrived, we were seated immediately, which was a great start. The restaurant was busy, but no busier than many other places we've visited. After being seated, however, we waited... and waited... and waited for someone to even acknowledge us. Nothing. During that time, we watched our server attend to several other tables, clear dishes, grab items, and process payments. We also noticed two employees standing near the register. One of them looked over at our table multiple times, so it was obvious they knew we were there. Still, no one came over to greet us or let us know someone would be with us shortly. As we looked around, we realized we were the only Asian family in the restaurant. Whether intentional or not, it left us feeling overlooked, uncomfortable, and wondering if we were being treated differently. It was an awful feeling. Eventually, our server came to our table but never apologized for the long wait or acknowledged that we'd been sitting there unattended. By then, the experience had already left a bad impression. I was there with my husband and our three boys, and it was difficult trying to explain why we seemed to be the only table being ignored. Will we come back? NO I'm sure this restaurant has plenty of customers and won't miss one family, but every guest deserves to feel welcomed and valued. A simple greeting or apology would have gone a long way. As for the food, it was good. But good food alone doesn't make up for poor service or for making guests feel like they don't belong. Dining out is about the entire experience, and unfortunately, ours was overwhelmingly disappointing. I'm typically a very generous tipper because I appreciate good service. However, when a restaurant makes my family feel out of place and overlooked, it's hard to justify leaving anything. Respect and hospitality should be extended to every customer.

Zach greeted us as soon as we walked in, seated us quickly, and took the time to explain the menu and answer our questions. His friendly personality and knowledge made us feel right at home. I had a tough time deciding between the Homegrown Burger and the Alaskan Salmon, but I went with the burger. It was cooked exactly how I requested, juicy, flavorful, and easily one of the better burgers I've had in Reno. I'd give it a 9.2/10. My wife ordered the macaroni and cheese. She thought the flavor was delicious, but the sauce was a little thinner than she prefers, so she gave it a 6/10. Even so, she still finished the entire plate, which says a lot about how good it tasted. For dessert, we shared the apple cobbler with vanilla ice cream, and it was the perfect way to end the meal. It wasn't overly sweet. The warm cobbler paired perfectly with the cold, creamy ice cream. To top it all off, Zuck even gave us a mini tour of the restaurant, which made the experience feel even more personal. Great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere make Homegrown Gastropub a place I'll definitely be returning to. If you're in Reno and looking for a locally owned restaurant with character and quality food, this place is absolutely worth a visit!
