    Good Days is a great spot. It's super spacious inside and has a really large food and drink menu with plenty of options. The prices are great too, which makes it an easy place to come back to. Parking can be a little tricky since it's right across from UNR, but it's definitely worth the stop. Overall, a solid place with good vibes, good food, and good prices.

    Iced Honey Lavender Latte

    My husband and I tried Good Days Cafe for lunch the other day after hearing so many great things. The building is a cute older home near UNR that was remodeled to be a restaurant (previously Laughing Planet) offering a variety of indoor and outdoor seating options. I had the iced Honey Lavender Latte and it was amazing and comes in a cute travel can they seal in house once your drink is made. I ordered the Caprese Panini added chicken and had the arugula house salad. The chicken was a little overcooked so a bit dry. My husband ordered the Italian Panini and house salad, his was a bit over toasted for his preference. Both sandwich options were tasted good but nothing special. Definitely a little underwhelming as we were expecting something different. The service was great for it being a bit busy duty lunch. I will be back for the coffee for sure!!

    Update on the matcha: They are using better matcha now! My favorite is the mango one as the other ones are a little too sweet. I prefer the matcha taste over the sweeter matcha drinks, but I know everyone has their preference.

    We came here for the pastas since my daughter raved of how amazing it is. She was right, the Pastas are delicious and service was quick. Note that all pasta bowls are just pasta and choice of sauce, proteins can be added to any bowl for an extra charge. Only downside is parking is very limited - only street parking available. Other than that, this is a great place near downtown/UNR to have some pasta. They also serve breakfast, lunch and drinks and have plenty of indoor seating on the first and second floor.

    So excited to finally get to stop by Good Days Cafe since its grand opening a month ago! The building has a historic feel from the outside, and the inside is bright and open with exposed brick, warm wood floors, and both upstairs and downstairs seating. The upstairs lounge-style area is especially cozy. We ordered the yogurt bowl, the steak and eggs, and a lavender honey latte. The latte was the highlight for me, rich and flavorful. They also use a canning machine for their coffee drinks, which is novel and fun to see in action. The food was mostly good. The yogurt bowl was topped with fresh berries and granola, but the steak was under-seasoned and undercooked, lacking much flavor, which was disappointing. Even so, I would definitely return! The space is great, the menu has a good variety of offerings, the coffee is solid, and it's in a nice little cluster of shops near Insomnia Cookies, Buzzed Coffee, and Reno Roots Kava Bar. I'd be happy to try more of the menu next time we drop in.

    Iced Banana Latte and Breakfast Sandwich

    This space is right next to Buzzed Coffee near UNR. The food was great. I loved the latte togo cup, I do think the coffee could be a little stronger but overall was good. The workspace is beautiful. We came in the morning and the entire upstairs was empty. It was the perfect place to take my 2 kids and enjoy my coffee without worrying about being too loud. We had a young blonde girl take our order and she was super friendly and nice. I will definitely be back.

    My son and I spent the morning here for mom's weekend with his fraternity. Amazing service, especially from Emily up front and Richie who seemed to be everywhere. The food was delicious; beautifully plated and well portioned. The bottomless mimosas were extremely generous, never seen champagne flowing as freely for bottomless drinks. The St.Jude's speciality chai stole the show for me. So unique and fun to drink in their own company bottling. The atmosphere of Good Days is fun and inviting. I'm already looking forward to my next trip to town to visit again!

    I am glad reno has a version of the similar of the mint mojito from Philz coffee! Years back another local bar once had a version of it. I went on a Saturday afternoon which had people coming in and out of the entrance also people sitting at the tables or walking up or down the stairs. I was greeted immediately when I walked in and knew what I wanted. My drink was light and refreshing with a good taste of coffee. Everyone was so friendly and the inside was well lit! I can't wait to come back and try their food!

    Vodka Sauce Pasta

    I'll be honest I didn't have high expectations since it's so close to the university, but this pasta was so good! I already want to go back for more and try some of the drinks they offer.

    The ambiance is great here, good taste in music and there always at least one other group of people here. The restaurant is homey on the inside and never to loud. The food is great and is in large portions compared to how much you have to pay. The service is great and all of the employees have been super kind. The food comes out quick and always tastes great. Its a great study spot throughout the day.

    Food is super good and staff is awesome!! They are quick with service and have great portion sizes for the price. The drinks are also really yummy The staff has been welcoming and so kind since day 1, they are phenomenal!!! This is also a really good study spot if you're looking to get away from home or the library.

    iced strawberry matcha latte

    Me and my friend love this spot. It's so cute and their iced strawberry matcha lattes (we add some vanilla) is genuinely one of the best matchas we've ever had. Definitely a must come spot. Can't wait to try the food eventually too!

    This new cafe spot near the UNR campus took over the old Laughing Planet location. It's a convenient casual restaurant for college students to go "off campus" for food. Not to mention, I think their food is also very affordable. There's ample seating - long table downstairs, plenty of tables upstairs, outside seating in front of the restaurant, and patio seating. Some students use the space for studying which was cool to see. Overall service was good - the entire staff was friendly. My boyfriend and I ordered the Good Days Burger and a Roasted Balsamic Vegetable Bowl w/ chicken. The burger was yummy - we would order it again. On the other hand, I wouldn't order the bowl again (nothing too special about it). We also ordered an iced strawberry matcha and mixed berry smoothie. Smoothie was good. The iced strawberry matcha came in "soda" topped container which was pretty cool, no other cafe in town does that. I don't like when my matcha runs too sweet and their matcha itself is not sweet which I was happy about. For all my matcha connoisseurs, I will say that they don't make their matcha "fresh" meaning they don't whisk the matcha to order, they use pre-made matcha from a bottle.

Our server checked on us the right amount and our food came out quickly. We ordered the Giant Hamburger and the BLT. The burger was thick, juicy, and piled high with classic toppings, messy in the best way and full of flavor. The BLT was generously stacked with crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, and tomato on toasted bread, simple and satisfying. The only downsides were the fries and my drink. The fries were overcooked, dry, and a bit too tough. I ordered a vodka soda, and it tasted more like soda with a splash of vodka. Overall, it was a good experience and we would return.

It was our 1st time eating there however it had been on our list for some time. We started with the PULL-APART GARLIC CHEESE BREAD which is Focaccia, mozzarella, marinara, parmesan, frico crust and also ordered the WOOD FIRED OCTOPUS with crispy gnocchi, tomatoes, red onion, basil, arugula and topped with a Calabrian chili aioli. Both were fantastic, seasoned nicely and cooked to a perfect temperature!! For our entree we hate the BEE STING pizza. Make with a 72 Hour Fermented Organic Dough topped with Salami, red onion, basil, serranos, mozzarella and honey. The crust was delicious, crunchy, thin and when combined with the sauce, seasoning and toppings, an excellent pizza. Additionally we ordered two of the in-house, housemaid pasta. The ARRABBIATA , a roasted red pepper campanelle, with Calabrese sausage, garlic, chilis, broccolini and topped with Parmesan, pecorino. The other pasta we tried was the BLACK SPAGHETTI, mixed with clams, scallops, shrimp, hot chopped peppers, white wine, butter and lemon. It was fantastic!! Cooked al dente and packed with flavor. Overall it was a very pleasant experience. The service was great, food was yummy and we definitely look forward to going back again soon!

The cauliflower was one of my favorites, roasted perfectly with great flavor, Fondue was creamy, hot and delicious, meatballs were super moist and bursting with flavor.

I enjoyed the bee sting pizza, hot and sweet, and I love the combination. When I go back it will definitely be pizza, salad and cauliflower. The sever was a sweet young man. He was attentive to our needs and patient with all our questions. The restaurant is a good size, the bar area was busy and filled with conversation and laughter, the booths looked cozy, we chose a table near windows for outside lighting. The outside tables looked great for getting some warmth and fresh air. Many options and different settings. Sorry, I forgot to take pics.

I absolutely loved the White Linen -- and that's saying a lot because I'm usually not much of a gin drinker. Tonight I also tried the Blueberry Lemon Drop. I tend to like more of a tart citrus flavor, so it wasn't exactly the tartness I expected at first; however, once I ate the blueberry garnish and took another sip, it completely changed the drink for me and tasted much better. I also tried two of their specials -- the Salmon with Alfredo sauce and the Tenderloin sliders. Again, Alfredo normally isn't my thing, but the Salmon was cooked beautifully and the sauce was very enjoyable, especially since they accommodated my request for a lighter amount. Since I couldn't decide between dishes, I ordered the tenderloin sliders to-go as well... and they were delicious too! Our server Miguel was new and did a really good job. You could tell he was just a little nervous, but he was attentive, kind, and handled himself well. Everyone starts somewhere, and I wanted him to know he's doing a great job and will only continue getting better with experience. Another solid visit overall. It was also nice seeing GM Drew working the restaurant floor as usual. You can absolutely see his management style reflected in the atmosphere and service -- the restaurant was busy, yet the team handled everything smoothly. And of course, Chef continues making consistently delicious meals. Definitely looking forward to coming back again soon!

The menu has a variety of dishes and it was really delicious and well-prepared. The bus-persons and food runners were great: friendly and attentive. Cons: the cashier, our waitress and the manager lack initiative. Our server disappeared at the end of the meal; meanwhile, we had a starring contest with the cashier who I guess couldn't leave her station to drop off the check or ring us up, so we had to walk-up to the hostess to ask for the check, to which we were directed to the manager who then dropped off a copy of the receipt after about 20 minutes but didn't bother ringing it up. Instead, she strolled out to the casino floor with another woman and had a long, languid conversation. After about an hour, we flagged her back down and told her we were ready to pay the bill, she then directed us to the bar where the cashier was. So in summary: food was good, some of the service was good but overall service could use some improvement.
