    #1 Desert Sunrise with hashbrown
    Alicia W.

    This is an underrated bagel shop tucked away on a side street near Wells Avenue. They have some patio seating and a small indoor space as well. We came on a Sunday morning and they were very busy! They have a great selection of bagels to chose from, breakfast and lunch options, plus a full coffee menu. They have a fun specialty drink menu in the shop and they allow you to choose any alternative milk option for no extra charge. I went with the Desert Sun breakfast bagel, a classic that is their namesake for a reason! I got it on a cheddar bagel with bacon and added a hashbrown (suggestion written next to this item on their menu). The sandwich was loaded with ingredients, filled me up, and tasted delicious! The bagel was noticeably soft and doughy, a perfect base for a breakfast sandwich. The bagels tasted better than most others I've had in Reno and will definitely make me come back again in the future!

    Great bagels. Large variety and friendly service. Come early because favorites go fast. Fun city vibe going on inside and very comfortable. Location is central and fantastic parking. It's a new go to! Make it next on your list too.

    This place is fabulous! The inside is small and cute with a desert mining theme, but there is extra seating outdoors. We had a breakfast bagel and a lunch bagel the eggs are fresh cracked daily, the bagels are made fresh in house the bacon was thick and well cooked, plus bonus you can add a hash brown to your sandwich for $1.75 The lunch bagel was so delicious, I added cream cheese and it was very filling, there was a great amount of turkey too. I'm from out of town and would definitely eat here again if I come back and would recommend it to anyone coming to Reno!! Oh also they have fresh made gluten free bagels too! If you're local or traveling through you must stop in and have a breakfast or lunch bagel.

    It has been YEARS since I have been to Desert Sun... Today I was needing breakfast and a bagel sandwich just really was speaking to me. I forgot how great Desert Sun is that's for sure. The latte I had was fantastic and the Sonoran on Jalapeño Cheddar REALLY HIT THE SPOT. Spicy, protein packed, chewy, awesome. The inside of this place is super unique, clearly plays on it's Nevada heritage, and the outside seating is nice if the weather isn't trying to freeze you to death... I'll be coming back, sorry I forgot about you Desert Sun...

    10/10 this place can clap my cheeks on the daily because I will go to war for the smears. Cheap and delicious. Just how i like my women.

    Decided to check out this bagel spot today. A bit of a let-down. Pluses: plentiful on-street parking, very friendly and prompt service (despite a constant stream of delivery pick-ups), and tasty chai (on the sweeter side). Cons: I can't really say that I enjoyed my Egg N Cheese on sesame bagel. While the egg was cooked well, the thin American cheese did nothing to enhance the either somewhat dry or somewhat stale bagel. The menu suggests a lot of "pro tip" addons (with an upcharge) to the sandwiches. Maybe they should make those addons part of the base sandwich so you get a better experience ordering a standard sandwich. My husband's blueberry bagel tasted like a plain wheat bagel (he said). I expected more from a place that makes their own bagels. Can't compare to Lillo Eatery's Off Center bagels, for example. Inside decor was cute but dark and cramped. Outdoor seating was plentiful on a weekday morning, but one chair was missing slats, and all the chains and locks brought down the vibe a bit. All in all, pretty average.

    Great local spot for a new york style bagel! It's a tiny spot but it has plenty of space both inside and outside.

    Chai Latte
    Bianca G.

    I will start off by saying that I like my chai sweet and this spot has currently the best chai I have ever tried. I'm just sad that there is not one locally in my small ca town. The chai latte large came with a lot! It was sweet and surprisingly, very good. Now the bagel was the highlight of the meal. I opted to get it on a cheddar bagel and it was so good. I did take off the tomato, but that was just because I was going to be eating this in the car and I didn't want to make a big mess. The service here was absolutely great. The girls were very nice and friendly. It does take a little longer, but the food is definitely worth it. They definitely had tables outside where I saw some people sitting but inside there aren't as many tables. However, the inside was cool because they had a bunch of crystals everywhere and I thought that was pretty dope, considering most coffee shops kind of have their own style and this one was unique. Anyways, I came here once last year and I have made it a thing to come here every time I am in Reno since it does not disappoint. 10/10

    I had a desert sunrise bagel on jalapeño and cheddar. It was pretty tasty. And I also had a chai latte with a shot of espresso that I had zero complaints about. I went in on a random Thursday morning and got served pretty quickly.

    Desert sage with garlic bagel
    Edward R.

    What a delicious bagel sandwitch, I had the Desert Sage garlic bagel with jalapeno cream cheese! This bagel was packed with cold turkey nice hot crispy bacon and a avacado mash that made it so smooth! The hot and cold balance was perfect in the sandwich! The lettuce and Tomato were cold and crisp. Very clean location and no wait. The service was fast and they were more then happy to suggest some different cream cheese that would be good. 100% recomend

    To me this is the only bagel restaurant in town! Their bagels are delicious. My favorite is the jalapeno cheddar with jalapeno cream cheese-so good! Service is always great here and bagels always fresh. recommend!

    This used to be my favorite bagel sandwich spot pre pandemic. I chose to still go here when it became Desert Sun and it seemed to pretty much be the same. I haven't visited in a while, but today the service was my least favorite part. I called to order ahead and was put on hold for over 7 minutes. When I arrived, I saw the cashier do the same thing to someone else on the phone. It also took a little while to actually get my food even though I was first in line. The sandwich was good, but I don't recommend going here if you're in a hurry before work.

    Im giving 4 stars for the customer service alone. The ladies working were kind and did a good job and helping me. The bagels are decent. The garlic parm is mostly garlic, but they are better than most store bought. Its a bright shiney ambiance.

My favorite is the Swiss and onion bread and it pairs very well with the Italian sandwich. Which is what I had. Everything in it from the meat to the lettuce to the dressing was all fresh and just the right amount of everything. One of my other favorite sandwiches is the Thanksgiving one..good cranberry..not runny gross sauce.. They do have fresh made cookies , brownies and different kinda of cold salads. They used to have racks of different kinds of bread they made and I loved it.. I used to buy some bread to make sandwiches at home. They were perfectly sized and at a good cost. But they dont have the racks out anymore. Which is sad. Besides being pricey and some little changes , the food and quality is still good in my opinion.

This 8 inch sub seems like a 12inch sub (ONLY COMPARING SIZE) from subway or port a subs. The bread is wide. The medium sub and chips was 2 meals for me and I was overly full both times. You do pay a little more than port a subs or subway but the quality is way better. If you are in a hurry, do not come here near lunch time. Maybe placing an order for pick up is best for those in a hurry. They are popular so wait times can be a while during peak hours. (like lunch) I would say this place is worth checking out. I plan to go back again and try a few other things. Today they had clam chowder as the soup......I was so close to ordering that too. I am happy I didn't! I would be miserable right now trying to eat all that food!
