    The Roost drive-thru on Booth St. decorated so cute for the holidays.
    Elizabeth S.

    This is a drive-thru coffee stop for your convenience, but you can also walk-up to the window and order. First time and I have to say my coffee was really good. I had the Sugar Cookie Egg Nog Latte. It was on the sweet side, so I would ask for less syrup pumps next time. Super cute and excellent customer service. I would definitely come back if I am in the area.

    I arrived at almost 10 in the morning, and they had lines of vehicles at either direction going West and East. The walk up place was also busy but they took care of people right away. They took care of everyone with fast precision. They're smart, courteous, and kind. They made Me two drinks and they were good! I highly recommend this place

    Very friendly staff. Drinks are amazing! I always look forward to coming to this coffee spot when I visit Reno.

    The drinks here are so good. The girls I nanny beg to get steamers every day! The baristas are so quick and kind.

    I noticed this coffee shop when I was at a bakery nearby recently and decided to come back to try it! I'm a big fan of drive thru coffee shops right now since I have a newborn and it's easier to just stay in the car with her while I get coffee. This one is located in a shopping mall parking lot, so there's plenty of room to pull in and get in line. They were pretty busy but the line moved quickly! The drive thru menu looked pretty standard, so I asked if they have any specialty flavors. The girl working was super helpful, she asked what I usually like then offered some recommendations. I went with their current special which was a latte with cinnamon and brown sugar. It was delicious! I also love their coffee cups which say "life is too short for bad coffee." I have a friend who firmly believes this, so it was fun to see someone agreed enough to add it to a cup! The baristas were friendly, prices were standard, and coffee quality was great. I'd recommend having a list of your flavors or current specials visible from the drive-thru window, it might save the baristas some effort from having to explain those things to customers. In the meantime, I'll check Instagram for current specials and plan to come back again soon!

    I had never tried this drive up spot before and my daughter had shared that she always hits this place up before she leaves town on a visit. We were out and about the day after Christmas and I wanted to try it finally after passing it by hundreds of times, it's in the local strip mall closest to our home. They have 2 drive up windows on either side for service, we both ordered our favorites and waited for a very short time. They had it decorated super cute for the holiday season. Love that. The only negative is mine was warm not hot. I just waited until I got home to warm it up and it was deliciousness! I will go again but order extra hot next time!

    I got the chai coffee it was pretty good! They did put a lot of ice though. I would recommend asking for "light ice" other than that the drink was good!

    The Roost has become my favorite coffee spot in Reno! This convenient little drive through is more than what meets the eye! They have two drive through sides and a walk up window, which we like to use when grabbing a coffee and going for a walk. The baristas are always pleasant and never seem stressed despite the long line that sometimes builds up during peak hours. My dog also loves coming here because they always give him a yummy chicken jerky treat! One day they recommended a honey lavender latte and I've been hooked on it every since! It's such a unique combination of flavors, so I highly recommend!

    I love The Roost! First, it's so convenient to have a coffee drive through - but The Roost also has a few little tables in front, in case you want to stick around and sip your drink (in a parking lot). I feel like there aren't as many good coffee shop options in NW Reno as in Midtown so this is especially appreciated. The drinks are great and proced pretty much along the lines of the norm in Reno, I think. A 16 oz. latte is $4.06 (hot or iced, both delicious!). I mostly get lattes or cold brew and look forward to exploring some of the "fancier" blended drinks and stuff. I do think it's kinda weird that cold brew is minimum $4.75 but who knows. They do charge (varying amounts) extra for milk alternatives - so depending on your choice, it may get pricier (none is more than .70 extra, I don't think). They do have a bunch to choose from, so that's a plus. I also haven't tried the baked goods, but they sound tasty, and I don't have kids but love the concept of having a kids menu (like smoothies, hot chocolate and stuff). Service is always great and pretty fast! I usually go at kinda off hours so I imagine that they may get backed up during morning rush hour but all I know is that they make my drinks quickly and they're great!

Their baristas are patient, kind, and provide good recommendations if you don't know what to go for when you come in. I'll likely be there at least once a week until I graduate... then I'll find another excuse to get in here

    What a major local gem in Reno. It only took one visit for…read moreme to become a fan of this coffee shop/bar in Midtown. You can tell that a lot of thought and heart went into the place. The decor, the entertainment, the products all struck a chord with me. On one side - a super cute pour over/loose leaf tea shop with some records for sale. On the other - a cute bar and lounge area equipped with a vinyl player (Bring one in on a Monday for them to play). You have some house pants, checkered floors, and cool vinyl covers all over the walls that make for some great & hip atmosphere and vibes. Their restrooms, though small, and clean and cool. Their pour overs are so flavorful, strong, and made with beans grounded on your visit. I love that they're flavored and sweetened in a way that allows the coffee to shine. If you're into sweeter drinks, ask for a bit more sweetner or add in a brown raw sugar packet yourself from the straw station. I hear their chocolate pour over is a hit. Matchas - prepared in a similar fashion. Slightly sweetned with subtle flavorings. I tried their carrot cake matcha today and really enjoyed the housemade syrup they used to flavor it with. I also love that they offer loose leaf teas. Their chai was nice, fragrant and great with a little sweetner and milk. Shelby over at the bar area was sooo patient with explaining their menu and suggested a isla bonita pineapple shrub drink for a non alcoholic option. Similar to their other drinks on the coffee side, it was tamed in sugar yet still fun and flavorful. I really enjoyed the tang from the apple cider and the spice from the tajin chili powder as a contrasting flavor. Double check their website for bar and coffee shop hours as they differ from one another. And follow them on Instagram for updates on seasonal specials & themed gatherings. A lot of cool local DJs spin here for special events and parties during the holidays. Tip: sit next to the pour over station next to the menu. It's so entertaining, especially with Sydney working the station (thanks so much for the chat and entertainment. Honestly one of the friendliest baristas I've ever met in Reno). Both bars are set up in a way that allows for meeting others and socializing. Check it out. It's a good time. Notes *Catch live jazz music on Wednesdays here for free. *free street & neighborhood parking *bagels & cream cheese available at the coffee shop *they have fun with their seasonal drink specials. I dig it.

An interesting combination of coffee shop, bar, and vinyl lounge, EP is located on Wells Avenue.

I tried the Float On, a boozy adult root beer float using local gelato from Bibo. It's a coffee shop, so my friend sipped the 9 to 5, their version of an espresso martini. The Soul Sipper, a beautiful orange colored cocktail was similar to an Aperol Spritzer. Located on the corner of Wells and Vassar, there's a little more street parking available.
