    Sand harbor
    Melissa A.

    My go to coffee shop, there consists with their drinks and great customer service. my preferred drink is the sand harbor with almond milk! when ordering you get a free Turkish delight. Before heading into this aesthetically pleasing coffee shop, Please keep in mind it is a small cafe with limited seating and parking.

    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.

    1/2 Sweet Strawberry Matcha
    Morgan Z.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Mango sticky rice matcha
    Lisa L.

    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
    Sarah T.

    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.

    Vanilla latte
    Alisha W.

    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!

    Turkish delights
    Melissa L.

    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.

    mango sticky rice matcha
    Sangeetha S.

    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.

    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.

This place has a lot of cheese options which I love and a lot of hot sauce and options at the counter which makes things even better.

My eggs were seasoned and filling, cheese melted and bagel sandwich steaming hot which I appreciated.

I was in Reno yesterday for a Reno Aces Game (they beat Tacoma 13-8), and had time to stop at the Midtown Truckee Bagel Company. From there, it was a short drive to Greater Nevada field. +/- - Counter service was slowed down by the counter person taking phone orders. - Somewhat limited Bagel selection this late in the day. That was OK as my half dozen selection of sundried tomato, wheat, and combo bagels was a good one. - They were out of regular cream cheese, so I settled for a bit pricy smear of Herb. Positives - Easy access on and off Virginia and good available parking. - Expected casual bagel shop ambience, including display and sandwich making behind the counter. - Bagels are baked, no steamed. - Bagels were put in plastic bag (with tie) which in my opinion preserves freshness vs. a paper bag. - My toasted breakfast bagel (next day) was the right amount of heft, chewiness, and flavor. I almost could have eaten it without the cream cheese, but that smear just added to its goodness.

I test drove this store by going through their drive thru and in store for a month, spent more than $200 on the product and was treated like a stranger, with indifference when my orders were prepared incorrectly, was never upsold an item nor thanked for my purchases. Instead I was provided poorly made sandwiches, lightly toasted bagels with too much schmear and even ignored by the male manager who I interacted with a few times. Business is booming nonetheless...and I don't know about you but I'm a sucker for fresh food, smiles, a welcoming and clean environment and a feel at home ambiance. This location definitely missed the mark. My test run is over and it's time to find another breakfast place. Beloved is calling my name..
