A bakery I always recommend to everyone! I've been coming to the Midtown location for years if I'm craving pastries or need a caffeine pick me up. This location is quite small so expect to be scrunched up while you wait in line to order if you happen to go during a weekend (sometimes the line is so long that you might have to wait outside). The aesthetic and menu is something you can't find any where else is Reno and this is a big reason why I keep coming back. A few of my favorite menu items: - Earl grey cookie - I get this every visit - Chocolate bouchon, an underrated pastry item, decadent little chocolate cake to satisfy your sweet craving - Banana bread, the best banana bread I've ever had - Iced Vietnamese (dark roast) - their coffee roast is delicious (in any drink you get), I will warn that this drink has whole milk in it so it's technically not a "true" Vietnamese coffee, also it's pretty expensive as well compared to other restaurants which is a big drawback ($8!) Workers have always been really friendly and the environment is gorgeous. Seating can be tight inside but they also have seating outside as well. I would come here more often if it weren't so expensive but the cost makes sense based on the quality of the foods/drinks. read more

I recently ordered a slice of banana bread and the delicious vanilla crème brûlée kouign amann pastry. Both items were fresh, not overly sweet and generously sized. These items were delivered to me quickly. I will definitely be buying more items from this bakery and cafe in the near future. I highly recommend this place. read more

I think I may like this location over the Rancharrah location. The store is very small but extremely cozy, with a limited menu. I like how they offer a few different things. The service here is up to par with Perenn in general and everyone is so friendly. I love their breakfast sandwiches and jade matcha. read more

So cute and very good! We went to grab some bakery items but we went when they were about to close so there wasn't much options HOWEVER we got the bread one and it was delicious and we got a raspberry flavored croissant cookie and also SO GOOD! Would def recommend but go earlier in the day to get the most options since it's a popular place! They did get us our things immidietaly as well! read more

Do me a favor and PLEASE EAT HERE!!! I was looking up bakeries to visit; my first choice was unexpectedly closed, and this place happened to be very close by. At first, I was skeptical because the cost of each item is Bay Area-tier, and I wasn't sure if it would be worth it. I am so glad I gave it a chance. Vibes: It's so cute and clean and aesthetically-pleasing. Staff is nice and efficient and great at explaining pastries and what's inside. Food: I ordered a chocolate croissant, almond croissant, pan suisse, 2 kouign amann (earl gray/lavender(?) and vanilla), earl gray cookie, matcha latte, and some other stuff I can't remember. Literally, some of the best pastries I've ever had. They were giant, so flaky, and the cream wasn't too sweet. I KNOW this place would thrive in the Bay if they ever decided to expand. Cost: Pricey, but worth it Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area! I've been to the other location too. I might like the other one better since the space is larger, BUT the quality is the same at both locations. Do it! You won't regret it! read more

Felt a craving and i stopped by for some pastries. Tried a cookie with melted marshmallow. Tried a huge cupcake type of pastry with cream and gold flakes. Tried the chocolate chip cookies and two other pastries. It was cozy, clean refreshing, and the staff were great. Patio setting outside is set up for you to enjoy your coffee. Next time i will take a seat and come in earlier to get ahold of their other pastries since they were sold out of a few. Loved it!! read more

Once again, absolutely had a blast at the midtown Perenn! The alternative flavors of their pastries keep me coming back for more!!! My favorite is their mochi muffin! Flavors do change, but they are always delicious. On a Saturday morning, I did have to wait and stand in a slow moving line, so that part was not enjoyable. If you wait in line though, you will be rewarded with yummy pastries!! read more

Delivery - hooray for this old lady! Exquisite croissant, almond croissant, brie and fig jam on baguette. So grateful I can have these brought to my door! Door Dash brought 9 drinks, 2 boxes, a bag filled with foil wrapped somethings, left in my driveway. I contacted them. They said it was my order. I insisted it was not. Okay, did I want a refund or my order? My order, I said. They will not take away the food and drink in my driveway, although I explained age and disability. They finally agreed. 2 hours later: food and drinks still n driveway, no original order. Called Perenn, got voice mail, not even an option to leave a message. No luck with getting email. I am resorting to this review in a last-ditch effort to make Perenn aware. read more

I have not personally visited the bakery, but we did try the baked goods when a co-worker brought some in. It didn't disappointment had to cut mine in half and shared since it was good size. Can't wait to try it person read more

This was a have to come to place based on recommendations. A small and homey spot. Two visits in two days. Had the daily pastry and the prosciutto and cheese the first day. Great staff. Super nice. Came back the second day and got a box for the road. Only reason it's not a 5 is because at 9:30 am they were sold out of the daily pastry and close on others. Will be back to try more. read more

Delightful experience overall. Recently visited this place. I ordered a breakfast sandwich with bacon jam, egg soufflé and cheddar. The coconut orange blossom latte even came with a cute rabbit. read more

The croissant crumbles & cookies are addicting. The BEST. Haven't tried anything else

Wow these are some good pastries. I walked in expecting some typical pastries but was surprised by the amount of different pastries they have. I got their cinnamon roll, kouign amann, and earl grey cookie. Honestly I wasn't expecting much from any of them but they were all really good. I think the earl grey cookie didn't taste that great the first day but loved the rest of it the next day. I'd definitely come back for these pastries and maybe try their coffee as well. read more

We come to Perenn whenever we are in town Ever since the GF's sister-in-law suggested grabbing breakfast here for their fresh baked baguette, croissants, toasts & salads. They are open 7 to noon daily so we walked from the GSR for a late breakfast these couple of days. The 45 min walk in the crisp morning air had us enjoying their delicious food even more. read more

Walking in to the delightful smells of fresh baked pastries andd then seeing these AMAZING creations in the display case...you can't help but want to pick one of each. Fresh, delicious and tasty baked goods are ahhmazing!! From their everyday menu to Today's Specialty Pastries choosing savory or sweet is the next question you'll be asking yourself when you step up to the counter. On our latest pop-in we grabbed a Croissant Cinnamon Roll and the Chocolate Bouchon ~ absolutely deLISH!! with herbal mint tea and a latte sitting along the bar/front window enjoy && watch the day unfold outside. Fantastic pastries, service, located in the heart of Midtown. Limited parking and inside dining but added bonus walking accessible from anywhere in Midtown && outside dining that is dog friendly too. Be sure to grab a fresh baked pastry or even order online for grab & go. Enjoy!! read more

Loved this little place! We tried ricotta toast and avocado toast which were both delicious! I agree it's slightly overpriced but you pay for the quality and freshness of the ingredients. There are a few seats inside but only 4 tables outside so you might have to wait if you're looking to sit down on a weekend morning. It did take a minute for the food and coffees to come out but everyone was friendly and we were in no rush :) This is a smaller menu then the Rancharrah location. read more

This is a great spot- especially if you miss Europe and all of their amazing pastries! We got the chocolate croissant and bought their pistachio cream and put it on top- it easily reminded us of Italy and was delicious! We also got their breakfast sandwiches which were pretty tasty. I got the vegetarian with avocado on a croissant and my husband got the breakfast sandwich with sausage which is absolutely loved. The restaurant itself has great seating indoors and outdoors, tons if different cookies and coffees to get and we waited about 15-20 minutes to order and about 10 mins to get our food. I would give them 5 stars but I felt like the croissant could have been heated up and the sandwiches were a little cold. Def the best pastries and def made us feel like we were in Europe again! read more

Decided to give this place a try after hearing all about it and having such excellent reviews. Small bakery in midtown. Limited parking outside but we were able to find some about a block away. Came around 11pm and most of the items were already sold out on a Saturday morning so i'd advise coming earlier. 1. Green Tea Mochi Muffin: My favorite of the order! Strong green tea flavor but not too bitter. Mochi bread was perfectly cooked and textured. 2. Ham and cheese Croissant: Ham and cheese was good and the pastry was very flakey. 3. Cinnamon Roll: Delicious! it was huge and I liked that you could rip it apart into pieces. Perfectly flavored and delicious. 4. Daily Danish: Thought it was alright and didn't stick out to me but the pastry was really high quality and super buttery and flakey. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overall, the restaurant itself was really nice and clean. The pastries are all very high quality and huge for the size. The prices also reflect this however and it can easily get expensive. We only bought a few and it ended up being $50. read more

Just went here recently and the barista was kind of weird about points. just kind of implying that i didnt have the points to use for a free coffee.. read more

Got breakfast here at it did not miss. This place was absolutely adorable and the food was great too! I ordered a breakfast sandwich with caramelized onions on a croissant. It was delicious and the croissant was super flakey and buttery. The staff were all super sweet and helpful. Overall I'd highly recommend this place! Whether going here for a meal or to get work done, I can see it being great for either! read more

Low key one stop shop. Some gourmet sundries. Very good coffee. Really, really good pastries and breads. I never expected to find this place. It's not a huge menu but there's still a lot to chose from. Try the kouign-amann if they have them. Don't be shy and just get one of each of the cookies. The cinnamon buns are bonkers. The breakfast sandwiches are very good and not heavy. Lunch looks great too but I only came here for breakfast. It might be the best coffee in the immediate area (Hub not Included.) I did see some gluten free options. Staff here are so helpful and friendly. Obviously proud of their bakery. It was always clean and quiet, a great way to start the day. Baked goods: ***** Breakfast sandwiches: ***** Coffee: ***** Staff: ***** Location: ***** General vibes: ****** read more

One of my favorite bakeries in Reno. They make the densest and butteriest pastries I can find. They are so dang good. They have classic and trendy/ unique items always worth trying. They also serve lunch and to go lunch boxes and salads. It is a cute place and filled with tasteful decor and merch. Parking is basically non existent though so be prepared to park and walk a couple of blocks. read more

These are the most perfectly cooked cookies!!! Earl grey cookie is unique, hint of lemon. Love the chocolate chip cookies with a little sprinkle of salt on top. Also the croissant cookie is unique and delicious. I can't really describe it other than it is a cookie that is like a croissant. You know it when you try it. The almond croissants are wonderful as well. read more

Wonderful time at Perenn this morning. Thank you for the drip coffee on the house as a refill. Such good pastries!

Disappointed that they were completely out of pastries before 10:30 on a Tuesday. They directed me to the new location in the museum, and they only had a small variety of croissants available. read more

Everything here to delicious! I love their breakfast sandwiches. The coffee is also very yummy.

RUN don't walk...This place is AhMazing! Their pastries are truly works of art each time. The lamination, flavors and the flakiness is on point that my boyfriend and I have to point out how beautiful it is each time we bite into one of their pastries. The flavors are rich but not overbearing and you don't feel gross after eating one, two or even three pastries which is very dangerous. This is a must visit place when in Reno! It truly have become one of my favorite places to visit and I literally drool and dream of when I will have them next. The lines can be long but it is so worth it. They have a core menu but some items have rotating flavors depending on the season. My favorites vanilla creme brûlée kouign amann the cruffin or the danish. Coffee is also really good too! read more

Ordered over a hundred dollars worth of items 3 hours ahead using their own system. I walked in on time, the order was not pulled or packed and half of the items were sold out by that point. Why even use an online ordering system? Why tell your clients to put a pickup time? Why don't you train your employees on the systems you use and profit from? I don't care how good your pastries are. If you can't run front of house, what else is being run poorly? Should I doubt the back of house cleanliness if employees are trained badly? What a dumpster fire. read more

There is a scene in the silly fun Netflix series "Emily in Paris" where she goes to Boulangerie Moderne and tastes her first chocolate croissant. When we go to Perenn Bakery, we can relate to that scene! We taste, we close our eyes, and can imagine we are in Paris. The croissants are spot on delicious! I was an exchange student in France many years ago and have not had croissants that taste as close to the ones from those days until Perenn opened. On our most recent visit, my daughter went with the tried and true Almond Croissant. I can understand why -- a perfect buttery pastry envelops a perfect frangipane filling. I decided to go for something different: the Ricotta Tartine - a thick slice of toasted sourdough topped with house-made ricotta, seasonal fruit (mine had slices of pear), honey, and pistachios. Wow - so, so good and filling! During these unprecedented quarantine times, I love that we have our own friendly boulangerie here in Reno. Here, we can buy croissants, close our eyes, and pretend, for a few glorious minutes, that we are on a busy street in Paris about to take a walk along the Seine. read more

I have been wanting to try this place since it first opened! I finally was able to carve some time out and after reading suggestions from other decided to order online for the next day. I went all in and ordered the Chocolate Bouchon, Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie, and Vanilla Creme Brulee Kouign Amann. Being early morning I was able to find street parking somewhat nearby. I think on a non-work day it would be nice to come sit outside with one's goodies. Luckily there was just myself in there and there actually was baked goods in abundance. I ordered the Spiced Maple Latte, which maybe for my own taste buds would've prefered a bit sweeter. Aside from that, the winner of all was the Vanilla Creme Brulee Kouign Amann, it reminded me of one of my favorite childhood desserts growing up within our neighborhood bakery. Everything tasted wonderful, and will definitely be back to try new items. I signed up for their e-mail list and see they often offer special goods- Macaroons for New Years, and a Red Velvet Croissants. Super fun, and if anything that myself and those i shared it with amazingly delicious. read more

Definitely prefer the Rancharrah location. No designated parking here so be prepared: had to get dropped off. Pastry selection is not as diverse either. However it's less crowded than the other spot. Got the snickers mochi muffin: the shape made it difficult to eat but it tasted true to name. Not worth $8+. Giving +3 stars for speed and interior decor. read more

What a beautiful place and the smell as you enter is just heavenly. So many goodies to choose from and they all looked absolutely gorgeous! You can tell the bakers really take pride in what they do. We opted to share an almond croissant and cinnamon roll, both very large and shareable by more than 2 people! I also grabbed a 4 pack of choc chip cookies to take home, so delicious! I wish I lived closer to try other things but that could also be very dangerous! read more

Love their loaf cakes! (5/5 Green Stars) Perenn Bakery is a beautiful and welcoming place with friendly staff and shaded benches outside. I ordered a slide of their ricotta, lemon and poppy seed loaf ($4.40) and even though I didn't eat it until the next day it was moist and delicious! One of the best loaf cakes I've had and because it's also very substantial, the price is reasonable. I couldn't resist their bread so I got a brie and fig jam sandwich on sourdough ($9). There was actually a bit too much jam on it, making it a bit sweet for my taste, but it was good, nonetheless. I'm giving Perenn Bakery 5/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact for the following reasons: * Tip is included in their prices to support a living wage for staff. * Their coffee is fair trade & organic and beans are for sale in paper bags. * Almost everything (even their ricotta) is made in house. * Minimal packaging or plastic - my loaf was delivered in a small wax bag and the sandwich was on a piece of wax paper in a recyclable cardboard box. * Café interior is mostly natural materials (lots of wood). * Update from owner, Aubrey, on suppliers: Perenn uses organic flour from Central Milling, pasture-raised eggs from Glaum Egg Ranch, butter from Isigny Ste Mere, and other ingredients from local farms (mostly Prema Farm) and Veritable Vegetable. * The menu is reasonably vegetarian. Only the breads are vegan. read more

MY FAVORITE BAKERY I HAVE EVER BEEN TO! If you love delicious coffees and bespoke pastries, then this is the place. I recommend trying their seasonal pastries, you will not be disappointed! I just had a maple and cinnamon cream pastry and it was to die for. I would also suggest arriving early in the morning, the pastries go fast and there is limited parking in midtown. If you are on the fence about this place, just go and give it a try. You will not be disappointed. Grab a treat and a coffee for a truly Parisian breakfast. read more

Easy to navigate and order online. I had to order the last strawberry/rhubarb croissant! As I was adding the items into the cart, when I went to check out, it said a minimum of six items... Wow! So I ended up getting English muffins, another croissant but chocolate, morning bun and a baguette.. Just got home and realized as I am writing this review, we didn't get the baguette! Just called and they apologized and will refund it. Can't wait to try the items! Updated:7/8/2020 My son came down to visit, and I had a few extra treats from the weekend. He loved the cinnamon rolls! He was amazed how crispy they were on the edge. Needless to say, I had him do an online order last night to take back home, and have them ready in the morning. I'm sure his gf will enjoy the items. I also went in and bought a sourdough bread and morning bun he could take to his grandma. I can't wait until the new location opens, it will be a quick trip from the house! read more

Let me start by saying... I LOVE carbs. Perenn Bakery is just a cute little find in MidTown. They offer a myriad of baked goodies in such a cute and inviting space. There isn't tons of street parking but find a place to park is not terrible at all. You may just have a short walk to get to the bakery. Upon walking in, your senses are greeted with a feeling of warmth and calm within the bakery. I have been once before and was taking my boyfriend in for his first time. The lady at the counter was very gracious as we had to let our eyes adjust from being so huge whilst looking at all the choices! We settled on splitting three pastries: the strawberry rhubarb croissant, a prosciutto + Gruyère croissant, and a cinnamon roll to top off our carb-load. We were not disappointed by any of them! My boyfriend is more the type to enjoy prosciutto + Gruyère than I, but I still did enjoy the bite or two I took. The croissants are buttery and flakey! They melt in your mouth and just fall to pieces in the most beautiful way a pastry can. The strawberry rhubarb comes with a light glaze on it, with (I think) freeze-dried strawberries! The cinnamon roll is a flakey cinnamon roll. Perfectly crunchy and my heavens... It was amazing! The glaze is amazing! There are so many different options at Perenn to choose from. If you go, I'd say order with a group so you can sample several pastries. ;) Can't wait for my next venture out to Perenn! read more
