4.5 stars: We loved the breakfast dishes here; coffee was 'OK' as my husband likes a darker roast and his cappuccino tasted on the light side. The cappuccino had a good, thick foam cap. We really enjoyed the waffles and French toast. Portions and prices were very fair, and perfect for a nice American style breakfast without it being too heavy or needing to overeat. Service was fast and friendly. Our one big negative and reason for the 1/2 star deduction: the orange juice tasted watered down, like a bunch of ice had melted in it. The interior had a lot of character, with paintings available for purchase and different seating arrangements. read more

Amazing place for breakfast! We tried stirred eggs, strawberry croissant and chocolate croissant. All of them were above our expectation! We highly recommend trying this place. We are definitely coming back again. read more

I've attended two painting classes at Crafted Palette. I loved both. Fun, personable staff and artists make you feel welcome in the cozy space. A pop up coffee bar and tasty food make it even more enjoyable. On my first visit I shared a baked brie that was creamy, warm and delicious with my guests. We each had a glass of wine and painted lovely purple flowers on the canvas provided. During my second visit I enjoyed a latte and we splurged a little and ordered the strawberry flowers which are filled with grand mariner infused whipped cream. What a treat! My guy and I each painted matching roosters which will adorn the kitchen wall as soon as we find a rustic frame to accompany them. Whether you visit to dine, enjoy a glass of wine, a cup of coffee, or attend a painting class, I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy your visit to Crafted Palette. read more

Man, I came here with my special lady friend a few weeks back. We'd been lost in the bowels of Atlantis all weekend and I wanted to take her to a nice quiet place and these Schirred Eggs seemed like something she'd appreciate. Firstly. Where the hell is this place? I drove past it like a dozen times because the only signage is a 12 point font piece of paper glued to the window. Next, a disinterested and divested barista took our order down in triplicate for some reason (I suspect she mixed up her sativa and indica that morning). We sat down and enjoyed probably the best 80s pop compilation I think will ever exist. Things were looking up, but one hour later we started wondering where our order might be. She said they looked like artists and probably were being super meticulous about it and could I please not make a scene. Just then, a family of 5 came in. They placed their order and got their food an endurable 15 minutes or so later. Da. Fuck? At that point I broke cease fire and politely inquired about our food. Waitress went back to the kitchen and came back 30 minutes later. Our order had been lost to history (the printer malfunction but only for our order, you see) and could we tell her what we'd ordered (we had paid already--a form of false arrest). The owner would like to offer us another latte on the house for our troubles. Dude, I was on my best goodboy behavior--that's what saved lives that morning. Steal my wallet if you must--but not my time. So. That's what's waiting for you at Crafted Palette. Bon Appetit. read more

Funky vibe and delicious food! The music and service were superb as well! Our go to breakfast place now!

Everything about this place is hands down amazing. I feel like everything in the menu has been like hand picked. Presentation is amazing the taste is amazing it's just a great great place I don't think I've gotten anything from there that's been bad. Even if it sounds like it's going to be that it's crazy. I'm actually going there today again for my third time in three days. I highly recommend the pretzel sliders. Highly. Omg. I write this as I'm starving, so I prob sound a little over zealous. Lol but man, is it good read more

We got a coupon from Groupon for two, so my fiancé and I took advantage of this for date night. It was so much fun, the instructor was very considerate and upbeat for a small group of painters. There is plenty of time to catch up and improve your painting. As for food, they offer a wide variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. They also have pastries and sandwiches as snacks. We got the cheese plate, and it was perfect with my white wine read more

Highly recommend We will return Good coffee. Tasty food. Fun baristas. You should check it out

We are from California and were staying at the Plaza. We wanted a little something. So we walked across the street the Crafted Palette. Oh my gosh, this place is awesome. I had the Carmel Apple croissant (yummy), my husband had the Strawberries & Cream croissant (yummy), my son had the breakfast sandwich (yummy), my daughter-in-law had the Chicken, pesto with harvarrti (sp) cheese croissant (yummy), and my granddaughter had the Sheard (sp) eggs (yummy). We all would definitely recommend Crafted Palette. We would have added pictures of the food was so good and it looked good when served, we didn't think of taking pictures. read more

Tried the Melanie's Croquet Madame and the Waffle w/ Bacon, Egg, & Havarti. The waffle was a liege waffle and the sauce on it was creamy and mixed with havarti. The Croquet Madame used a kind of pastry for the bread and a sauce that was slightly sweet of milk : ). The salad was also mildly sweet. While I don't think that it was a lifechanging experience it was a very solid breakfast and an extremely nice change from what you'd normally find in Reno. They have a lot of breakfast items that you won't find anywhere else in town. I would definitely count it among the top two-three spots for breakfast in Reno. read more

The best of everything if you like good food and I mean good fantastic food then go here the grand Marnier croissants are to die for and the baked eggs dish Amazing ! Its all made fresh and the people are so pleasant it's a great chance read more

Happy accident? Yes! We were intending to go to a nearby restaurant but were totally turned off by it. I've been meaning to come to Crafted Palette but keep missing it. When we got there it was pretty quiet. A few people were sitting outside despite the cold (it started snowing shortly after we sat down) and there were a few regulars that were in and out. We ordered Shired Eggs, quiche and bottomless mimosas. The menu is a la cate style which works for me here. The shirred eggs were delicious. So cheesy. Also they were a bit short staffed that day, but still very friendly and they offered us their delicious strawberries as a thank you for being patient. I've been back one other time since the end of SIP and it was just as good. Very reasonably priced, mellow atmosphere, outdoor seating, and fabulous mimosa prices. Can't wait to go again! read more

Had a fun birthday party for a friend here. The food that came with our session was very tasty. The instructor was great at walking us through our painting and was super flexible and helpful with any modifications we requested. Their cocktails were super tasty, though it took about 15 minutes for mine to be served. Atmosphere and decor are energetic and eclectic. I would go here again for a party, a fun activity with a friend, or for a date. read more

Crafted Palette - Winter deer (or llama or moose!) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Just went for the first time to a night event. I went before for food on a weekend and it was amazing. This time, my great aunt and grandmother came along. We loved the art on the walls, had a wonderful time making terrariums with succulents, and enjoyed creative food. The brie with berry sauce is a good appetizer. I went and tried a lot of their food items earlier, and enjoyed them all. Glad we came for the art making. I would go back to paint in the future. read more

The quality and amount of food is not worth its price. Not only was my croissant extremely dry (as if it was old) I opened it up and there's only ONE SLICE OF BACON? Sloppy and unpresentable. read more

Crafted Palette - Breakfast Sandwich for $7.00 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Great vibe in this place! The staff are welcoming and hospitable. The food was amazing. The price was reasonable.

Reno's best kept secret! They totally fly under the radar but have some of the best food in town. Going there is definitely a vibe of its own, but even ordering delivery is awesome. The food is not only good, but the presentation is gorgeous. Coffee is also great! Just make sure that when you go in, you give yourself the opportunity to take in the art and really enjoy your food/drink. Service can sometimes be slow, but it is always well worth the wait! read more

Cool location with ADD friendly vibe and yummy food. It was all better than expected, and that is a rare experience. read more

Ordered through grub hub and was missing an entire waffle . The restaurant did not care at all when I called that they shorted me an entire item just told me call grub hub . To make it even worse the bacon egg and cheese waffle my co worker did get had no damn bacon ! WTH ! The food was good last week but the complete lack of any customer service today makes me never want to order again . Thanks for nothing now I have no breakfast ! And paid a damn delivery fee and tip for pretty much nothing . So rude ! read more

Delicious breakfast! Definitely give the Croque madame a try! Love the artsy vibe too.

I have been to every painting and wine class in Reno (Picasso and Wine, Reno Art Bar, and Pinot's Pallet). I was excited to try a new venue in town. I was a groupon online and decided to give it a shot for a date night with my boyfriend. We picked a cute polar bear painting under the Northern Lights. The painting was named Polar Photobomb. I enjoyed this setting because it seemed smaller and quaint, they served food, the instructor took the class at nice pace, it had great rustic decor, and parking was validated. I called ahead to find out that we could park in the 1st street parking garage. Thats a great tip for future class goers. Food: **Pro- The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the cheese plate. It came with a variety of cheese: gruyere, havarti, brie, and goat cheese with drizzled honey. It was served with seeded crackers. I also ordered a cinnamon apple cranberry kale salad. It was out of this world. I totally recommend it!!! My boyfriend ordered the Pulet Brie sandwich, which contained pulled rotisserie chicken with melted brie, pesto mayo, red onion, and spring mix. The owner suggested a house cabernet for me to drink, which was quiet tasty, although I can't remember the name. **Con- No menus. They ran out. They were out of the strawberries that I saw a picture of on Yelp. They looked so tasty. Instructor: Our instructor for the night was Karen. SHE ROCKED. As an art instructor, she really encouraged everyone to step out and TRY. She wanted everyone to have fun and make it their own piece of art. She had an endoscopy procedure earlier that day and still taught the class. Overall, great class. I highly recommend checking out the Crafted Palette. read more

The hubby and I seldom do breakfast out except for Robert's MBC. But we recently won a gift card for Crafted Palette. He's not into the evening paint and sip, and since they open at 6am, we decided to try their breakfast. It's a quaint small spot a block off the river downtown. Palette tables and stools for dining and painting at. I recommend sitting towards to back in the winter, when the door opens the draft can be chilly. We each ordered a mocha, which was probably one of the best I had had in quite awhile. It wasn't overly sweet, make with a richer dark chocolate that seemed to accent the coffee with a wonderful thick creamy froth. I would definitely go back and enjoy another one soon. Our meals had nice flavors. The Croquet Madam was interesting- I'm still looking for the ones I enjoyed in France. It was a half a croissant with ham and a poached egg ( cooked perfectly) and a slice of cheese, topped with a béchamel sauce. The sauce has nice flavor but looked a little like a light brown gravy. The side salad of kale and apples was tasty too. The hubby had a prepackaged waffle topped with bacon and an egg and a slice of havarti cheese. I consider these dishes "girly" food, great for the light eaters, but probably not enough for the guys. Two small plate breakfasts and two mochas was $25. I'll stick with the great cup of coffee or try my hand some evening at the paint and sip. The art on the wall looked really cool for the classes. read more

Had fun here with the ladies. Do not be intimidated if you are lacking painting skills (like me). Just be brave and follow along, and enjoy the experience. Besides, there's wine, and food, so you're already ahead of the game. Bring great companions and you're sure to have a good time. They have a lot of paintings to choose from. The place is cozy, the staff are friendly, and the instructor was a hoot. I would love to come again, when my artistic side needs expressing. Hope to see you there! read more

Crafted Palette - Sample art - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Another fantastic nite out at Crafted Palette with my SIL...a really cool medium for those of us who are a little canvas challenged! Mandala stones! A cool twist on creative painting! This place makes seriously delectable snack options too! We shared a luscious cheese plate (they even had a GF cracker option for my SIL! Great service) and Grand Marnier infused mascarpone stuffed strawberries! Yummo! Both were the perfect portions for 2 gals to share whilst painting away...and both went perfect with a glass of wine! What can I say, a little wine makes my painting ability look pretty good....hahhahaha I love to see their schedule of talented artists, and their step by step instruction makes taking home your own work of art easy and attainable. The mandala stones are fun and a new addition to their calendar...keep 'em coming CP! No need to stress about life...just come paint some dots on rocks! read more

4-stars for the paint and sips and artists at Crafted Palette! I've been here twice. 1st with two people in their 70s then again with contemporaries. The instructors are fun and helpful with people of all ages and painting abilities. The wine was good. The cheese ball is addictive. All-in-all a good time was had by both groups. Not one Rembrandt in the lot of us. Local artwork hangs on the walls. Many of the pieces are by the instructors. All are for sale. There's a series of masks of Sammy Davis Jr. The same artist (I forgot his name) did a series of masks made out of trash. One of his pieces graces the wall of my apartment with eyes of crushed soda cans and a nose of a wonton soup faux Tupperware (this might me an NYC reference). No comment on coffee/breakfast till I give them another try. I was not able to drink the espresso that I got there. read more

Homey atmosphere,, friendly staff, good coffee and tasty, carefully prepared food. A warm comfortable place to meet, work, or simply relax.

What a fun night. This place is so easy to find,parking was no problem and it was a blast. We had groupon certificates for half off and decided on a sunday night. There website is really cool and easy to navigate, they show the painting they will work on that day, so you can surf the calendar till something perks your interest. The building is located on west street near the river. The parking can be difficult, since it is all street parking. We were greeted right when we entered, shown to our easels and given our brushes and paints. Before the instruction starts, you can go to the bar and order a wine,beer,coffee or soda. The instructors are so friendly, they wash away any inhibition you have about painting. (The wine also helps). This class is all about fun and learning,do not take yourself to seriously and the inner artist will appear. read more

Live in the Montage. Decided to give it a try. We are the two in here. Food was worse than airplane food. Took very long to get food, which was basically heated up quiches. Forgot about our drinks all together until we reminded her. Then she couldn't remember what we ordered. Loud hair band music. Won't be back. Update: just explained the situation to the owner. Her response: "Can't please everybody." read more

Met here Sunday at 11 am for our book club. What a nice little venue. Our entire group fit around a large table and we were able to all order drinks, get a little sumpthin' sumpthin' to eat if we wanted, then have a lively, spirited discussion without having to scream. They were very upfront and warned our organizer that a big group was coming in to do a painting session in an hour, so we planned accordingly. I had a simple coffee for $2.00 and it was served in a real mug! Much appreciated that they didn't automatically just serve it in a disposable cup. Great location on West Street meant afterwards, you could have easily had access to movie theaters, the parking lot, the river or one of the dozen or so places to eat in the neighborhood. Note that they validate for garage parking for one hour. read more

OMG if I could carry this little cafe in my back pocket or on a keychain like a Polly Pocket I 100% without a doubt would. I'd pay their rent and let them live in my home. I'd do anything for them. This place is beyond amazing. Every time Ive thought about going to a café, THIS is the place I think of!! Theirs a beautiful sense of community and warmth as soon as you walk through their doors that I rarely witness on a day to day basis. The croissants we got were absolutely delicious, the coffee was perfect and the service was everything I wanted but nothing I deserved. If I could come here for the rest of my life I would- I would work just to pay for a plane ticket to Reno, freaking Nevada so that I could come here and Id be happy. read more

What a cool little place! 1st negative: parking sucks. But not the businesses fault. 2nd negative: I feel that there are way too many seats for the small location. 3rd kind of negative: where I sat last night, the light was out above me, though apparently it's no fault of the business, the wiring is shoddy and they need to bring in an electrician. 1st positive: teacher was really great last night for the red bird canvas 2nd positive: all staff was super friendly and helpful. 3rd positive: teacher went slow enough to make sure everyone was able to get to where they needed to be. -3.5 negative that isn't really a negative, the pacing of the class was too slow for me and seems to be a theme through all the alcohol and painting classes I've been to. I do understand that they're trying to make sure all the least artistically inclined patrons make it to the end of the class with a successful beautiful piece of art to take home. It's a great place to have a girls night, family gathering, any sort of shindig. It's relaxing, fun, and easy to navigate between the awesomely crafted palette tables despite the fact that there are a lot of seats. I do recommend the place, but if you were comparing and contrasting, I wouldn't recommend this place due to parking and crammed crafting space. read more

I love the Crafted Palette. I can let my inner artist out with a little help from my friend, mr. Merlot. Having had four strokes, I have a hard time painting, and putting my thoughts on canvas. The instructors are so friendly and helpful. I have to keep reminding myself, have fun and do not take yourself or your painting to seriously. If you book a morning session, they have delicious coffees, Mimosa's,bagels and other delicious breakfast items to tempt your palette. You really need to try this place out. Do not be intimidated. It is so fun and easy. Remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, read more

We visited the Crafted Palette last week after purchasing a LivingSocial Deal with a bunch of our friends. We had enough people going and booked far enough in advance that the owner let us pick the painting we wanted to do. We ended up doing the Pastel Bear, and they actually came out really well! Like most of the other Painting places popping up around Reno, they offer drinks during the classes. They had local beers to choose from and a selection of wines all at a reasonable price. During the day, Crafted Palette doubles as a coffee shop and breakfast/lunch restaurant too. They have the paintings you can paint on the walls and the tables they use are refurbished palettes which make for a great ambience. My only issue is that they are tried to cram too many people into our class and the tables were so close together that it was almost impossible to get out if you needed to use the restroom, get more paint or go to the bar. The other thing is that I've been to a few different painting places in town, and I prefer when they have the plates already set with your paint. Because of the crammed tables, trying to get up and get in line to get your paint was difficult. We ended up having one person go and just bring back paint, brushes, paper towels, etc. read more

Came here at a Saturday morning to try a new restaurant in Reno. Was not really pleased with the experience Pros: The place has a good atmosphere where there's some pretty artwork to look at while waiting/eating. Food was decent, nothing too special but not completely horrible. Here's where the cons really outweighs the pros for. Cons: My partner and I waited about an hour and a half before we finally got our food only for the food to be decent/okay which doesn't make up for how long we waited. My partner had ordered a coffee which also took quite a while to arrive and we almost didn't receive that because it seemed like the staff didn't know who's order belonged to who. While waiting we say many other customers who had not received their order, also had to wait a very long time before they received it, or had decided to cancel their order because the wait was so long. I had heard one of the staff members (possible the owner I'm not sure) tell someone who was waiting for a DoorDash order for about 45 minutes that they haven't even started the order and that they could either reassign the order or wait. Poor attitude towards some of the customers. They were holding a paint party event which the event was except in order to be able to accommodate everyone they had to move some tables which left a small gap between my table and the party's table. This would have been fine if the gap was big enough to allow walking except staff and other customers continuously let bumping into the two tables which is not enjoyable for us who are eating or those who are painting. This was also an issue for another couple who were sitting at a table and eventually had to take their order to go or else they would have been in the way of the painters who were placed at the same table, and they wouldn't have been able to enjoy their food if they had to be seated near a party group. My biggest issue is that the Yelp page for this restaurant says that there is validated parking yet when we asked if we could get our parking validated since we had waited a long time for our food, they told us that they don't validate parking. It shouldn't not be written on the Yelp page if the place does not actually provide that service. I can understand that the place was short staff for today and I am usually more understanding when there's an issue. However, the staff weren't that apologetic of the issue nor did they try to compensate for any of the issues, along with the false information of validated parking, all these issues make me not want to come back in the future in hopes that their service will be better. I think many of the other customers or delivery people that were in today can also say the same. read more

This looks as though it would be a fun place for a wine-and-painting night, but it struggles some as a coffee and breakfast location. The owner or counter person was nice enough but was not certain what the items in the small pastry case were, guessing as to what was what. The cappuccino was a nice flavor but barely lukewarm, and the breakfast sandwich prepared in the back room was, well, it highlighted the fact the person is not an experienced cook. The flavor was okay, again barely lukewarm, the sprinklings of shredded parsley on the plate just was not pleasant and the onion added was a random assortment of oddly-chopped pieces atop two pieces of prepackaged almost-warm Canadian bacon sandwiches between a store bought mini croissant. Since this is a painting locale, every table in the room was covered in paint splotches, so it was not appetizing to sit at. There was only one standard restaurant table, and it had no much paint splattered on it that I tried to clean it before sitting down since I thought it was all leftover food crumbs on the table. I would like this to survive, but it just does not give the appearance of being clean enough to eat at. Sure, I know it is all dried paint, but those paint-covered pallet-top tables don't give enough of a feel of restaurant cleanliness for me to eat there again - and this from someone who will sit on a street curb to eat food truck goodness. read more
