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.

Attention: There is a new contender for best bakery and creamery. It is Sierra Nevada Bakery and…read moreCreamery. It is located downtown. The owners Jennifer and Michael Henry make you feel like family. The customer service and attention to "your experience" made you feel like royalty. I had the chocolate eclair and it was scrumptious. It was the best I have ever had. I can't wait to go back and have ice cream and cookies. The ambiance was fun. It felt "Lake Tahoe." If you are looking for a supreme place to get a scoop of ice cream, cookie, or pastry, this is your stop. A huge kudos to Sierra Nevada Bakery and Creamery! You hit the mark! Or should I say, "taste buds!"

We stopped in to Sierra Nevada Bakery and Creamery for a little afternoon treat after a nearby…read moreshow. I was surprised to see this place as I've driven by this strip of businesses many times and never noticed this particular spot. They offer homemade treats, but mostly ice cream. They have an almost unmatched selection of non-dairy ice creams and sorbets. A nice surprise. The gentleman helping us was very nice and gave us a full rundown of how they make everything in house. He offered samples and suggestions. I sampled the flavor of the week, Lavender Honey Matcha, and the coconut cream coffee. My kids decided on the mango sorbet and the classic strawberry. Everything was delicious. The coconut cream ice cream had great flavor and texture given that it was non dairy. My wife and I decided on the matcha flavor of the week. It was very refreshing. The strawberry had real chunks of strawberry which is always a treat. My biggest critique is the texture of the ice cream. This stuff seemed very crumbly. I prefer a much more "chewy" or "sticky" ice cream if that makes sense. This stuff was more "dry" and less "creamy". There are some other local shops in the area that make great ice cream exactly how I like it, which is the only reason for 4 stars. I'm not sure this would be my top place for ice cream again. The smallest "one scoop" size is actually nearly two full scoops. Could be a good thing for some, but a kids scoop is always appreciated for my toddlers, especially a a slightly discounted price. That is not an option here. There are a few small tables inside to enjoy your treats and lots of to-go options which is always nice. The place was clean and well decorated. It was steadily busy while we visited, indicating that this place is likely here to stay. Overall, worth stopping in if you're in the area. The flavors are unique and tasty and the non-dairy selection is fantastic.

While visiting Reno, my husband and I decided to try Crave Cookies after my sister-in-law highly…read morerecommended it. She absolutely loves this place and even claims it's better than Insomnia Cookies so of course, we had to see for ourselves. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted, and the customer service was honestly 10/10. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and patient while we decided which flavors to try. We picked out a variety of cookies, and I will say they are big, thick, and fluffy. Visually, they're impressive, and texture-wise they're soft and indulgent. Flavor-wise, they were good... but for me personally, they were just a little too sweet. Almost overwhelmingly sweet. If you love ultra-sugary, decadent desserts, this will probably be your dream spot. They're definitely high-quality cookies just not quite my personal favorite because of the sugar level. I'd love to see slightly more balance in sweetness so the other flavors can shine. Would I come back? Yes. Would I pace myself next time? Also yes. Overall, great service, beautiful cookies, and a fun dessert stop in Reno just be ready for a serious sugar rush.

I'm not here often, but they are a great addition to the Midtown District…read more Tucked in the backside of the Stix complex on South Virginia and Thoma Streets, this small cookie shop probably gets overlooked quite a bit. I had walked downtown to meet a friend for cocktails and planned on a Lyft home, but the February night was still beautiful, so I walked home. Craving something sweet, rich and chocolaty, I made the small detour to the other side of Stix for a cookie. They usually offer around twelve different flavor options, but my go to is the devine chocolate lava cookie. They usually offer large soft chocolate cookie filled with a thick darker chocolate filling served warm is just what I required on my walk home. The younger staff is always polite and friendly. There is limited shared parking in front of the shop and the same on the side street Center.

We decided to try the Dubai Chocolate, Campfire S'mores, Butterbeer, and of course the chocolate chip. Each of them were amazing, and definitely worth trying. I can't wait to see what flavors come up next for the following week. I might have to stop in again so that we can try one of the soda creations they make. They seem fun and sound really good too. It's always very clean inside and bright. The service is hit or miss. The first couple of times we visited we had pretty good service, this last time was lacking a bit. They both seemed bored out of their minds and didn't really have a personality. They weren't rude though. Regardless, we'll continue to come back for a treat every now and then.

Also, there's quite a few seafood options which I love & are always on the pricier side! We shared the lox crostini bites, charcuterie board, and ahi nachos between 4 people and it was the perfect amount -- satisfying without being too much. Might go again this weekend!
