    Mango Sticky Rice Matcha
    Mel S.

    We came in on a busy Sunday morning & despite the line, we received our drinks very quickly! I ordered the Mango Sticky Rice Matcha & it's so delicious! Not too sweet & super refreshing. My partner got the Cardamom Lemonade and added a shot of espresso. The barista taking our order shared that this was "new, but we can do that!" casting no judgement upon my partner's strange order! He ended up loving his drink! We got the Flavor of the Month for our Turkish Delight sample (Li Hing Mui Peach Mango) and it's been our favorite so far! All of the baristas are lovely, but we have to give Nina a shoutout for being incredible!

    1/2 Sweet Strawberry Matcha

    I've gone here twice within the past month for the Strawberry Matcha and I will be back again very soon because it's just that good. I get mine 1/2 sweet and it's the perfect mix of matcha with their housemade strawberry simple syrup with fresh strawberries. I've only grabbed drinks to-go but the inside is super cute with plenty of seating. I went in the last morning on a weekday and it wasn't too busy but when I went on a Sunday it was packed in the morning but I still only waited ~15 minutes for my drinks. I will be back for the strawberry matcha and hope to try some of their other unique drinks in the future too!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    Hidden gem in midtown and definitely worth the stop! I tried the matcha and the lemonade, and both were super delicious and refreshing. The barista was so kind and welcoming, and I really appreciated her recommendations on the most popular drinks and her personal favorites. You can tell they genuinely care about the customer experience. The vibe was cozy, the drinks were amazing, and overall it's a must-try spot if you're in the area!

    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.

    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.

    Tried the new seasonal matcha this past weekend ... the banana matcha with banana cold foam! Super tasty with plenty of banana flavor and a flavorful matcha! Of course it came with their delicious complimentary Turkish delight, I chose pomegranate pistachio! As usual the ambience is very welcoming with plenty of seating inside and outside and the staff was very attentive.

    9/9/25 FYI. Special - Pumpkin pie waffle
    Lee D.

    Quality/Quantity - Just gave more blood at Quest and wanted to treat myself to a decent coffee and breakfast! Limited menu, but done well. Seasonal specials, etc. Got the Cubano Breve - So good! Not as strong as the Cubano I drank when in Little Havana in Florida. But still good. Pumpkin Pie Waffle - My wife really enjoyed this. I thought it was good also. I like pumpkin, but not as a puree. I also got two confection samples, two Turkish delights; my daughter's favorites. I will bring her next time she visits. But not as good as the ones we buy in SLO, Monterey, etc. Atmosphere - Very small local business. Limited indoor seating, plenty of unused outdoor seating but it was too cold today. See pictures. Very small shared parking lot, but plenty of free street parking. Open 6 days a week from 7am to 5pm, closed Saturdays. Clean shared restrooms. Service - Love the fact that the team here knows all the regulars! So welcoming and friendly. Said bye to everyone as they left, etc. Price - $14 + generous tip, but that is the price for quality! Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2019; looking forward to introducing you to more people.

    Strawberry and cream Liege Waffle
    Cheryl L.

    Friendly staff and some unique drinks. We had the pistachio latte with a strawberry and cream liege waffle. I was sad to learn that the waffles are not made in house but rather bought and dressed up with different flavors. You can taste the difference from prepackaged versus liege waffles made in house. Also my pistachio latte was delicious but I overheard another group taking back their drinks and complaining that there wasn't enough pistachio flavor in it. Although they did go light on the sugar which may explain everything. Seating was nice and clean. Total bill was $18. Expensive for Reno but I might come back for the drink.

    Are the turkish delights made with gelatin?

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

    Does this Cafe raise awareness on the plight of this endangered and exploited animal namesake?

    Random treat on Sunday…read more Wife wants to go to Pine State Biscuits...we go to Pine State Biscuits. Biscuits smothered in your choice a mushroom or sausage gravy. Think about this, where else can you get Brisket for breakfast?!? We enjoyed some wonderfully made scrambled eggs, collard greens and hash browns. The customer service is quick, the cashier and hosts are polite. Self bussing tables make for easy work. Whether indoor or outdoor, you'll enjoy the sounds of people enjoying their meal while outside, sure maybe a little bit of traffic too. Try their Diner Plate Special which is a combination of a biscuit, gravy, choice of sauce and 2 sides or The Money Ball Double Down which was an over easy egg over two biscuits and gravy. A great breakfast or brunch experience solo or with your family! I can't wait to go back and try their shrimp and grits!

The service was super friendly, with accommodations made for all dietary preferences and restrictions. The ambiance inside is cozy, just like the food. PSB is a must-visit when you're in Reno!

    What a wonderful hidden treasure! We stopped for breakfast on our way to the Amtrak on March 20,…read moreand it was wonderful! We were greeted by a very friendly and welcoming young lady who took the time to explain all they offered on the menu. She made me an amazing vanilla latte-way better than Starbucks! The stuffed French Toast was amazing! Syrup was provided, but not needed. The scrambled eggs were also done very well and served by whom I assume was the chef. My husband had the shirred eggs, which he described as "Perfect and yummy. A perfect portion of bread and eggs." And the ambience so fun and unique! It was fun to walk around to look at all the art as we waited for our food and as we ate. They have paint parties Wednesday-Sundays. I wish I had known that before so we could have participated! I got a chicken salad sandwich on a croissant to go to eat on the train back to California (I haven't eaten that yet, but I'm sure it will be good!)

I ordered the chicken salad sandwich and some water. The sandwich was delicious! I would definitely come back here to try out some more of their menu options. The downfalls... it was really hot. I'm not sure if that's the norm or not since it was our first time. Secondly.. it took forever to order. The two young ladies were stocking the fridge behind the counter.. said hi and then continued to stock the fridge. Finally another woman from the back came to the front to help us. Such a cute place and feels like a hidden gem! Would love to take a paint class.

    What an amazing place!…read more Went here for a mother's day brunch. We had a reservation and were seated quickly. I ordered Guinness and the pour was perfect. Also no bitter aftertaste, so they know how to maintain their lines The Billionaire Burger was amazing. Harris Ranch beef, local fried egg, perfect acids from the kimchee and pickles and superb bacon rounded out this organic burger But the fries really made the meal to the point where i ordrred a second order to go with my second pint! Service was top notch, too This restaurant is worthy of a Michelin Star!

    88 dollars for two plates and a drink. Incredibly high priced. Walked in blind on that one i guess…read more I was hungry and wanted to give it a shot. I will start by saying my sandwich and beer were tasty and good. They will boast all local ingredients, but 30 bucks for a cheese steak on ciabatta bread is steep. The burger my wife had was the same price and nothing special to note exept she ordered no tomato and it came with tomato. Both of our fries were soggy and cold. A draft beer for 16 dollars is also more than expected. Our bartender was professional and chatty. He did pull a nice bottle of tequila down for us to admire, and told us about some other fancy top shelf stuff they had. I appreciate they were even open. Service was great, everyone looked taken care of. The place looked clean; and the food looked great everywhere, ours just flopped. All of the other patrons there were probably late 50s and up at 2pm on Memorial day. This is one of the most expensive underwhelming lunches I've had ever had in Reno. I am sure if we had said something they would have given us new fries, but that isnt the point. You have a price set well above average so I expect that it will be executed suprbly.
