You've gotta get the hearty trail cookie with oats and chocolate and the massive cinnamon roll, which has a tinge of lemon in the frosting that's unique and not overpowering. The chocolate chip cookie and monkey bread are also good, but the other two take the lead. 5 Stars!!!!!!

A local Truckee friend told me about this bakery that is only open one day a week and I had to try…read moreit. As an avid baker/cook, I was wary of some of the products after reading some reviews on Yelp. After waiting in line for an hour, reviewing the online menu, then ordering a selection of goodies, I am here to tell you that this place is worth it. Granted I had to stand in line for an hour and there is no seating, but people in line were civil and friendly. No meltdowns. Nobody going "postal". If you want coffee, there is an excellent coffee shop a couple doors down. Many people in line were drinking coffee while waiting. Because I returned home right after purchasing my box of baked goods, I was able to re-heat the pastries, which I highly recommend, and enjoy them on the patio. Here's what I had: ham harissa red onion Parmesan croissant - reminded me of chorizo pistachio baklava morning bun - complex flavors of fruit and spice kale potato tomato onion cheddar cheese quiche - best quiche ever raspberry peach almond pie bar (gf and vegan) - very fruity chocolate chunk cookie - lots of chocolate passion fruit Basque cheesecake - creamy with a passion fruit topping Due to elevation, the croissant wasn't like other croissants I've had with their many layers, but I enjoyed the ham harissa nonetheless which reminded me of Mexican chorizo. Because there is a 70¢ charge per large box, the locals brought their own Tupperware to haul their treasures back home and maybe to reduce landfill. In addition to freeze-dried strawberry granola, dog treats are also sold here. Strategy for next time: Show up before 8am opening or closer to closing time 2pm (you risk product shortage) to avoid long wait times. Bring my own Tupperware to avoid extra charges. Apparently, July 4th weekend is the busiest day of the year...just my luck.

This place felt like Willy Wonka opened a milkshake bar for the Instagram generation…read more We stopped by Black Rock Dessert while looking for ice cream and instead found milkshakes on steroids. We ordered the Dust Storm: a vanilla milkshake with chocolate bits, topped with a giant blondie skewered dramatically on top, plus whipped cream, sprinkles, and chocolate drizzle. The rim of the jar was coated in marshmallow dip and graham cracker crumbs because apparently subtlety has left the chat. Honestly, the presentation was on point and exactly the kind of milkshake kids dream about. Which is why we ordered it. My tween declared it "the best milkshake I've ever seen in my life," and honestly, that alone made it worth the stop on our mother-daughter trip. Taste-wise, it leaned very sweet for me and didn't have a ton of flavor depth beyond sugar overload. But clearly the goal here is maximal fun and aesthetic, and they absolutely nailed that. It's basically a photo op you can drink. The shop itself was surprisingly quiet when we visited in the evening--we had the whole place to ourselves--but there were games to play while waiting for our order (we pulled out Pick Up Sticks, which transported me straight back to my 90s childhood living room). The ladies at the counter were also incredibly kind and patient explaining the menu and flavors to us. If you're looking for an over-the-top dessert experience your kids will talk about for days, this is your place.

I am a bit torn on Black Rock, but it's a great dessert spot nonetheless…read more Stopped in at Black Rock Dessert on a Thursday evening. Just one lone employee was running the place. In my opinion, it wasn't enough. There was a steady flow of people, and she couldn't keep up with orders and customer service. We opted for two small scoops of ice cream for the kids: chocolate and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. We also ordered the sizzling blonde brownie sundae. It was about $20 for three items. The ice cream was very good, especially the Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Very unique flavor and great texture. The blondie was a bit of a letdown. First, the blondie was not "sizzling". It wasn't even really warm. Only placed in a waffle iron for a few seconds. Second, it seemed very dry and crumbly, maybe even overbaked. I thought the ideas at Black Rock are fun, and I think trying one of their milkshakes should be my next visit. However, there are a lot of great ice cream spots in Reno. For just ice cream, I think there is some heavy competition.

We loved this sorbet so much that we came back 2 additional times just to order it again! 5/5 stars for this incredible combination and I love how they use biodegradable wooden spoons! I would HIGHLY recommend this small business that opened in December of 2015 by a husband and wife team! Throughout the shop you'll notice some fun and funky artwork by various artists, including a beautiful painted rainbow window! Summit Swirl has 8 rotating flavors of froyo, sorbet and gelato, so there's something for everyone! Best of all it's self-serve and the employees are so nice! We're looking forward to returning to try more of their rotating flavors! SYOY! :D Song: A Sailor's Hawaii by Philip E Morris

Parking was easy in the little shopping center, and this location is very cute and the artwork/decor (as in all Coffeebars) is charming, stylish, and full of character. Despite the weather outside, everything on the interior was spacious, bright, and comfortable, even with the door open. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the array of savory and sweet baked goods in the case looked appetizing and interesting. I ordered a lemonade and they offered to top it with matcha...never had that before, but it was delicious. This Coffeebar is conveniently located near the freeway, so an excellent stop without adding much drive time. Will definitely be back on future trips.

It not a large restaurant and not overly filled on a Friday night. Food was better than we expected. Both entree hit the mark. Service was solid. They provided good help with ordering and all our needs.

High quality olive oil and vinegar in a cool container. 9/10 HEARTH ROASTED BEETS ($19) burrata, pistachio, blood orange, raspberry vinaigrette, mint was a beautifully plated salad. Nice fresh balanced beets, cheese and fruit. 9/10 ORA KING SALMON ($52) lemon dill beurre blanc, quinoa roasted vegetable medley was a huge portion of beautiful salmon.
