I was in Carson City for work and my employer rented out the space for a continental breakfast banquet for 120 people. For this, Comma Coffee gave us ONE coffee carafe for 120 people. When it ran out (which was almost immediately), the employee suggested "try ordering coffee at the counter like a paying customer." Um, okay. About five of us got in line right away at the counter to order coffee. Keep in mind that we are now purchasing our own coffee, as if we had not already rented out the space and prepaid for catering (which included coffee for 120 people). I was third in line. There were three employees. Each employee skipped over me and took orders from the other people in line. I continued to wait at the counter, making eye contact with each employee, as one does when trying to place an order. Then, two other customers (not from our banquet) walked in from outside. They employees immediately served them, bypassing the growing line inside, telling them that, "Ugh, it's hard to serve real customers when we have a huge party in here." I stood at the counter in line, and each employee ignored me, serving the people behind and around me. Once I started counting, I counted that they served eight people after I had reached the front of the line. The difference? I am a person of color and the other people they were serving were all white folks. I told the employee that I had been passed over for the last time and would get my coffee elsewhere. I sat down at a table with some of my coworkers, including another woman of color. Moments later, the owner comes over and starts talking to my coworker, trying to take her order. Note: my coworker and I do NOT look anything alike other than the fact that we are both Asian. My coworker is confused, as she had been seated the entire time and had not been standing at the counter for fifteen minutes, as I had. So I ask the owner, "Do we all look the same to you?" To which she replies, "Actually, yes." Then, the owner goes on to justify the poor customer service/racism by saying that they are overwhelmed because of the banquet. Like, aren't you running a restaurant? I should also add that the breakfast pastries were either dry/stale or underbaked. They should not rent out their facility if they can't accommodate/serve food. The fact that we paid for coffee for 120 people and they literally provided us with ONE carafe was absurd. Perhaps they hoped they could then sell food to us at the counter in addition to the breakfast banquet we had already paid for? read more

I love Comma Coffee. I grew up going here when visiting my dad down in Carson City and it's definitely a great place to return to when I visit. The decor is fun and eclectic, representative of the quirkiness of Nevadans. Ample seating and incredible ambiance as a guitar teacher does a lesson in the back area and old bitties play Bunko. Or on some random night, catch live belly dancing and some students studying or playing board games. Staff are always chill and clearly take the time to know regulars names. Coffee and food are solid and affordable for the portion and quality. Parking immediately by the building can be limited depending on the time of day/year but a public lot is not too far. Thanks for always staying such a great joint for everyone. read more

Comma Coffee - Cinnamon roll and coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

Stopped in here randomly while searching for a nice cup of coffee on a cold winter morning. What a wonderful coffee shop! I visitors know a weekday morning and there were about 10-15 people here, a mix of regulars who seemed to know each other along with newbies like me. First off, the atmosphere is perfect! Quaint, a little funky, and clearly historic. The building hails from the mid-1800s and smart money says there are ghosts adrift in the halls. :-) The breakfast menu was varied, desiring many egg dishes. I had the Spanish dish, which is there take on a breakfast burrito. Cooked perfectly and it came with homemade salsa too! I was eyeing the cinnamon rolls. Next time... OK let's get down to the important stuff. Coffee. I had my usual: americano black. It came piping hot and served in a funky mug. Love it! No paper cups at least while you dine in. The coffee had great flavor. Not burnt tasting or some weird fruity flavor. This is good coffee! If you are in the area, I highly recommend Comma Coffee. The lunch menu looked pretty good too! read more

Worst service ever. I ordered a 12oz triple cappuccino with a Splenda. The barista argued with me, saying a cappuccino is in a 10oz cup with 2 shots. Don't argue with a customer, when they ask with details, they know what they want. She then "explained" that a cappuccino is 1/3 coffee, 1/3 steamed milk and 1/3 foam. She said in a 12oz cup there would be a lot of space in the cup. I tried to explain that with 3 shots of espresso, in a 12oz cup the ratio would work out. But no, the barista kept arguing with me. She finally made the cappuccino, but left out the Splenda. (It's better to put the sweetener in the coffee, then the foam instead of on top of the foam) I was pissed off when I went back to get the Splenda, most places would have remade the drink, but no, the barista just tossed the packet at me. I told them how rudely they were, and the barista started yelling at me. I originally ordered with a young lady who didn't understand what a cappuccino was. When I walked out, apparently she started crying. The barista said she had just started two days ago and was in training. I told her in my coffee shop, new employees were trained completely. Every one of them knew what the different drinks were and knew how to make them, before they were on the front line and attended to a customer. Do not go to this place. There are way more, better options for coffee in Carson City. Even Starbucks (yuck) is a better option than this place. read more

Avoid this place if you appreciate customer service. Over priced goods and the staff has no sense of customer service. I never should have tipped them in advance. The whole experience was a waste of time and money. There are many quaint places to eat/drink in Carson. Choose wisely as today I did not. read more

Trash- metaphorically and literally. Didn't this place recently get closed down- again- for not following sanitary standards like storing food at the proper temp and cleanliness? The owner June is incredibly self-righteous and just no. I won't get mean... but unaccountable people are dangerous! Now she's trying to market two AirBnB's under Comma Coffee's name? Weird and it goes to show she'll do anything for a dime. Also a concerning character trait and business practice... Never mind the overpriced, underwhelming food purchased from Costco and the eggs they cook using the SAME steam wand they use to steam the milk of lattes. Gross. read more

A buddy mentioned this place a couple times when I was craving coffee, I never went because I didn't know where it really was tbh. Craving both a bite and cup of coffee I decided to drag him along for a quick trip on a work break. The place is sort hidden around a couple other bigger restaurants but if you are looking for it you will see it. They had a daily special on their Mexican Mocha and having never tried a Mexican Mocha or any coffee there I figured why not. For the bite to eat, I choose their ham, egg, and cheese but instead of having it in a croissant I went with a Jalapeno bagel. It was delicious. I enjoy finding and helping good local places like this spot. It's really funky inside in a good way. I hopefully will have the time some other day to look around. Glad to have found a nice spot that is convenient with my daily routine. Will absolutely be back. read more

Hands down my favorite coffee in Carson City! Every time I am driving through town or on the way to Tahoe..I try to make a stop here. The service is always excellent and the employees I've interacted with are always so friendly. Today we got an iced latte and iced mocha. Both excellent as always! I've never gotten food...but whatever I've seen come out of the kitchen looks amazing! They are set up as an outdoor take out window right now until 2pm. Not sure the exact days there are open or the opening time. Please make sure to support places like this! Local businesses need our help! See you soon! read more

I had been dying to visit this coffee place for so long! I finally had time to go and boy was I disappointed. The atmosphere is eclectic and I loved that. But the variety of coffee is non-existent. I was surprised they didn't have more specialty coffee drinks to choose from. Secondly, the service was lacking badly. I was t greeted when I walked in and there wasn't anyone at the counter waiting. The 3 workers were behind the counter and one was training another gal. I finally got their attention and ordered my $7 drink. I asked if I could get it to go because I was on my lunch break and they said sure. However, they took another person's order who they mentioned was a frequent customer and began making his. Still, I waited. Then, the one trainer decided to show the other gal how to make a pot of coffee and still didn't make mine. I was waiting for 10 minutes before she even made my drink. I got a praline flavored coffee and it was super sweet and couldn't even taste the coffee in it. I told others about this experience and everyone has told me this place has really gone down hill. Bummer because it's close to my work. read more

Comma Coffee - Jazz Youth - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

This place is just wonderful. Stopped in here for breakfast while on a road trip to Lake Tahoe and it was such a breath of fresh air. Super quirky and definitely unique, my only complaint is that this restaurant isn't in Los Angeles. The server was super sweet, the food was delicious (the bacon ughhh!!! Soooo good!) and the orange juice is legit-- fresh squeezed, sweet perfection in a glass. Such a gem! Would definitely recommend! read more

Super cool place. We stayed in Carson city for our visit Tahoe. I worked from this cafe for a day. Good wifi, good coffee, good juices/smoothies and a decent food menu with tasteful interoir and good service located right in the heart of the city. I think this place checks everything. We had a couple of smoothies and loved them. Pricing was reasonable as well. If you are eever around, you cant go wrong coming here. read more

Last time I went there I arrived just as they were closing I came with my friend who was moving out of town and wanted to go there one last time. We got a dry nope we're closing response. Yes we arrived at closing time but they were not closed yet. It's not the fact that they refused to take our order that bothered me as much as the way the response was delivered. Pre-pandemic they frequently just closed at random times. It was always a disappointment to make dates with friends just to find out they are closed when we got there. I want to make this place a regular spot, I like the space, but they just make it hard to do that. The food is not special anyway but I like the drinks. I used to recommend it to out of town friends but not anymore. Overall I'd rather go other places now. read more

Comma Coffee is the best coffee place in Carson City. I sometimes wish I lived in Carson just so I could go by more often. The staff is incredibly friendly and the atmosphere is amazing! If you love things to look at you could be in here for hours. There are skeletons hanging from the ceiling.. as well as a piano, and artwork and photographs covering all the walls. The back seating room is really fun as well. Tons of books to look at and toys for the younger ones. Food is served hEre as well, but I haven't had a chance to have anything.. but I've heard good things. I do wish the price of lattes were a bit less. They charge a decent amount already, but with "specialty milks".. like almond (like I get) there is an additional charge. All in all this place is great and I love sitting around and looking at all there is to offer. Make sure to visit if your in the area. read more

What a great place! Hubby and I had to get out of the house! Cabin fever! So we headed south to Minden and saw the sights and grabbed lunch. We returned to Reno through Carson and discovered it was the wine walk. It was too early for wine but we spotted a coffee shop and knew this would be perfect on a cold rainy day. The place has a lot of real estate and the tables were full but found a spot in the corner. Hubby got a coffee and I splurged on a peppermint mocha which was delightful, not too sweet. There was a woman playing the piano and singing old 70s love songs. She was fantastic! I soon discovered that not only can one get great coffees but they serve beer and food too. And they were a stop on the wine walk so many folks we in and out. This is obviously a Carson hot spot and I look forward to my next visit. read more

Comma Coffee - Peppermint mocha! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

So sad about our experience this morning. The ambiance is super cute. I chose to build my bagel. You get a choice of 3 spreads: basil pesto, cream cheese or hummus. I chose the hummus and a few toppings. I got into the car and bit into my bagel to learn it tasted very strongly of basil pesto. We turned around because my body cannot process dairy. Cheese is a main ingredient in pesto. I wasn't rude when I went in, just stated that I ordered hummus and not the basil pesto. The woman who made my sandwich (appeared to be the owner), snapped at me 'it IS hummus'. I thought to myself 'ok, that really should be clarified on the menu'. I immediately followed up by asking 'Does it have dairy in it?', she looked at me like I was nuts and asking an outlandish question and replied with a curt 'no'. I mentioned 'ok, as long as it's not made like traditional pesto' and she just gave me a blank stare. So I left with my bagel and ate it with the confirmation from the owner that it didn't have dairy. Now I come here and I read reviews where it's stated that the basil pesto hummus DOES have cheese in it. Maybe they have changed the recipe... or maybe I was lied to because they didn't want to remake the bagel or lose money. Either way, the attitude of the owner was very disappointing. The girl at the front counter was very nice. Only time will tell if I end up on the toilet for the first day of my ski trip.... read more

I live in Reno, but I love driving down to Carson to enjoy Comma Coffee & to go to a few of my favorite shops. (Midtown Marketplace is the best!) Right when I walked in the door, a young man greeted me. Less than a minute after I sat down, this same kid greeted me with a menu. Already impressed, because good service is so rare these days, I asked his name. Samuel, he said. He was so attentive from the get go, I knew I wanted to write a Yelp review. Then, another woman, Tara, checked on me several times and was so personable and pleasant. She took the time to ask what I was reading and we talked books! I never needed a thing, because these 2 were always around making sure I was good, but not being crowding at all. There is definitely a balance! I have been in the service industry my whole life, and the employees this morning were top notch! I then went to tell the owner, June, how amazing these guys were and how impressed I was. She looked me right in the eye and thanked me. I LOVE the atmosphere in here, and the mimosas, with FRESH SQUEEZED OJ, were so so delicious. Bottomless for $12??!! How can you beat that? Please support this local business in these tough times. You won't be disappointed! There were numerous "regulars" and the owner, June, was so personable with them! Thank you Samuel, Tara, & June! Keep up the good work! read more

Amazing customer service, I'm always welcomed in upon entry. The food and drinks are just what you need to start your day.

This place is beautiful! Perfect amount of social distancing facilitated by skeletons... completely my jam! Coffee is fantastic, they are severely lacking in veggie and vegan options which could be vastly improved, very easily. If they had something more than a bagel with spinach and tomato on it I would've rated them five stars! read more

This should be called COMA coffee because i'd rather me in a COMA than come back here. I attempted to eat lunch here with a friend. I had made something special at home for them as surprise and wanted to meet someplace we could just get a coffee or soda and relax while we ate. I arrived and pulled our food out of the bag and set it on the table. We went up to the counter and attempted to order two italian sodas. Rude employee responds with "we're out of club soda." Ok... an iced coffee and an iced tea were ordered. Rudely "to go?" For here. Moving on. We sit down and begin eating. The same employee drops our drinks off and says no outside food. Stop eating or leave. So we ask for to go cups "yeah fine, sure." I go to the counter to retrieve the cups, apologize for not knowing their policy and stand at the counter long enough to watch someone take money from a customer, walk to the back and pick up a raw chicken breast and put it on the panini press. The coffee was stale and the iced tea was water. I will NEVER go back... and i'm really glad I didn't try their food. I'm sure I would have recieved a free case of salmonella. To echo Davina's yelp, PLEASE TRAIN YOUR EMPLOYEES. Oh, and asking them to be friendly might be worth an extra seminar or two. read more

Those of you who know me, know I only give a 5 Star review for consistently great product and service. Comma Coffee has that every time I drop in. The coffee is fantastic and the pastries are average. While they are really tasty, I wish they were a little more fresh from the oven. It's just a small thing but I had to give an honest review. This is a great place to work and also just to have a nice visit with friends. It is a very comfy place that boasts intimate little niches and quiet spaces that are well stocked with soft chairs and coffee tables. Decor is best described as eclectic. Not out of hand or corporate in any sense. It seems like the owners poured their personality into decorating and their good sense into the products sold here. I'm talking great coffee. I didn't try lunch yet, but intend to. The menu looks fantastic. I'll keep coming back here everyone I have meetings or work in Carson City. read more

Stopped in for a quick cuppa joe with Right Brain in tow. I walked in and was thrown back to the coffee houses of the 60s. Eclectic, funky, quirky decor welcomes you to explore all the artsy, folky vignettes. Look at the photos. Cozy fireplace chat spots, hidden corners to tryst, seating is just about for anyone. Business, pleasure, apres ski. A very fun place. I was going crazy from the smell of soup being made but we were there for coffee, soup wouldn't be done for awhile. Other patrons said the food was amazing. The coffee is excellent, staff friendly and quick. Heard there was live music on certain days. Plan on coming back soon next trip to Carson City. Could have spent hours here! Try not to pass this hidden gem when you are in town. A must see and taste! read more

I have been a patron of Comma Coffee for several years. It is my go to spot for a hangout with friends, coffee break with a book, and more commonly homework and study sessions. The complimentary WiFi is a nice feature. The atmosphere is one I can usually relax in. I enjoy the creativity displayed through the interior design, the local artwork, and on occasion live music. As of lately though the recent diminishment/renovations to the establishment has left it a bit dingy and worn out? It is no longer a fresh feeling environment. The food/beverage menu has a nice variety of fresh ingredients and flavorful choices. My personal favorite and recommended beverage for all my tea lovers out there is the Yerba Mate Latte. The Ultimate Creation is a favorite food dish and perfect to share due to its massive size. The overall cleanliness could use a pick me up. The floors were considerably messy, miscellaneous surfaces definitely had a layer or two of dust on them as well as some outside friends crawling around. At least four bugs had to be removed from the area we were seated in and the bathrooms needed to be restocked and cleaned as well. Quality of service has taken a noticeable plunge. The staff was not very interactive or friendly. Instead of paying attention to their customers, the employees behind the counter were far to involved in their personal conversations to care that we had been standing up at the counter waiting for assistance for several minutes even after making eye contact with us; they continued on with their conversation regardless. Resulting in having to interrupt them to request a simple water refill. The staff then portrayed a highly inconvenienced attitude afterward and unfriendly disposition up to the moment we left. It is unfortunate, I remember better days at this establishment. I'm not sure what has happened to incite such a drastic change but hopefully they pull it together soon. After so many years we would be disappointed to have to find a new hangout. Hang in there Carson City read more

We stayed in an airbnb around the corner that is run by the owner and were super happy with the breakfast we got here. The bagels were amazing and filling and the service was great. The interior of Comma was whimsical with all kinds of weird and interesting things on the walls and ceilings. There is a ton of space and the whole coffee shop feels super homey. As we were making the drive back to the Bay, we decided to get some croissants, bagels, and cinnamon rolls for the road and they were super helpful in packing it up for us to take on the road. They also have an addictive old school game where you roll a marble that I played for like 30 minutes straight. All in all, a great coffee shop with a lot of culture that I could see myself spending a lot of time in if I lived in Carson City. read more
