    I love the upstairs on how there's enough seating. The cups are really cute to put the coffee in. Gian was very helpful and funny ;)

    Cute decor and good food. The service is good. The parking is a little difficult and can take sometime. I got the French toast with berries and it was good.

    I got super lucky pulling up here and getting a parking spot in the one hour parking, which was my biggest worry, especially because it was graduation day. Walked right up and there is a menu on the wall and handheld menus available. I was very impressed by the amount of options that were there. Lots of veggie and gluten free and also an extensive drink menu. They have breakfast and lunch/dinner options and I almost had a hard time deciding because things sounded tasty! The girl ringing me up was new but very helpful when making my choice and the staff was really supportive of each other. I got the Vodka and added steak. The place was pretty busy but took about 20 minutes for me to get my food. Super yummy pasta alla vodka! And it was a pretty decent sized dish. I wasn't able to finish it but stoked for the leftovers! Gotta come back to actually try some drinks and breakfast items!

    My friends and I came here last night and were quickly greeted. Kayla, our server took care of us and made good recommendations for food. There are plenty of places to sit upstairs and downstairs. I went with the vodka sauce pasta with chicken. The vodka pasta was yummy and filling. The chicken tasted fresh and juicy paired well with the pasta. The chicken would have been better if there was more seasoning. The prices are affordable at the cafe. They have a good selection of drinks and food. I love the homey atmosphere. We had a great experience here and I'm looking forward to stopping by when I'm in the area.

    I came here late in the morning for a quick drink. They have sucha large selection of drinks and it was hard for me to decide what I was in the mood for. But I chose something matcha based. This drink had lavender, matcha (of course) and coconut water. A little lighter than your average matcha drink. Not as sweet. I love the way their beverages are served in these cute plastic cans! They also look like they have incredible food. Service was speedy fast. Maybe waited a total of 5 mins if that. I'll be coming back for sure to try their coffee and food but first impressions were great

    This is the Meatball Sandwhich at Good Days Cafe....really tasty! I got the sweet potatoes as my side. They were really good too!

    This is the first time I come here and aside the couple of plastic bags (trash) at the entrance steps, I really liked it. It's located in an old 2-story house, so the layout is really cozy. There is plenty of seating on the first floor and even more seating on the second floor, with a couch and even some more hidden areas where you can take a lap top and do some work. Honestly, I love this place. The menu has a really nice variety, such as Smoothies, Coffee, Sandwhiches and even Pasta dishes. They also serve various alcoholic beverages. Conveniently, you place your order at the counter and then your food is brought to your table. I had the Meatball Sandwhich, which was really really good. The bread was toasted just enough that it was crunchy to the bite, but never really got soggy even though the meatballs were served with plenty of sauce. The meatballs and sauce were full of flavor...absolutely delicious!! It was also served with a choice of one side, Sweet Potatoes, House Potato, Arugula Salad and House Salad. I had the Sweet Potatoes and really liked that they were boiled and not fried. I also had a Honey Lavender Latte from their Specialty Menu. It was really yummy and not overly sweet. I think I have a new favorite place!

    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.

    Steak and Eggs
    Luis L.

    Great food really enjoyed the steak and eggs. But my favorite was the Strawberry matcha it was very tasty. Overall with college students being out of school it makes it easy to find parking and get to the location I definitely will be back to try the rest of the matcha drinks.

    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 Honey Lavender Latte
    Aubrey P.

    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!!

    Vodka pasta
    Mary Jane S.

    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.

    Iced Banana Latte and Breakfast Sandwich
    Jen C.

    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.

    Strawberry matcha & Banana bread matcha
    Alexia H.

    The café itself is really nice and the staff is incredibly friendly, but unfortunately, the matcha just wasn't good at all. The flavors were really bland, and I think their matcha recipe could be a lot better. Great vibes and service, but the drinks definitely need some improvement.

    Wow. If you find yourself in Reno, jonesing for a burger, Archie's is the place to go. We aren't…read moreresidents, but come up the hill a few times a year for various events. Until this 4th of July weekend (250/2026) we had never heard of Archie's. It was recommended to us and we stopped in on Sunday the 5th for lunch on our way out of town. What an amazing choice. I ordered their bacon cheese burger. Guess what? It was GIANT. It was delicious. It was perfect. Comes with fries but I got onion rings. The onion rings were perfect too. Largest order of rings I have ever seen. The burger (1/2 Lb I think!!) had nice thick bacon in every bite, two large and fresh slices of tomato, a big old slab of an onion slice, mayo and lettuce. I can't remember if there were pickles. It was the best burger and onion rings I have eaten in at least ten years, maybe 20. We will be back, EVERY time we are in town from now on. I can't recommend this place enough. Special shout out to David, our server. This guy made no mistakes. Laughed at all my stupid dad jokes, was attentive, patient while my companions changed their minds 36 times, and was friendly too. Says it was only his 2nd day on the job, but I wish he had been working for us at our restaurant (Hokkaido Noodle House) in Sacramento. He is a pro already, give him reasons to keep working for you boss. Don't worry, we won't steal him from you, we are retired and closed our joint 10 years ago. Rock on Archie's! You have earned a few new fans today.

    I went here on Sunday mid afternoon before Memorial Day so I assume many students had left town so…read morethe place was pretty empty (so service was excellent.) Was surprised it had a second floor with a small deck and pretty decent views! Big place. Great Happy Hour Deals (half off drinks) and other specials. I haven't eaten breakfast there but the burger I'd put in the top 4 in Reno. It is giant diameter wise but the meat is the same amount of a smaller thicker burger which makes it no too hard to eat. I'd call this a Purist's Burger. Crisp lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mustard, sauce. They went really light on the sauce to the point I didn't think it had any. Fries were excellent too. Price is very reasonable (that's typical near a college.) I've tried Royce, Juicy's, and The Parlor. I'd put Archies below Royce and Parlor but above Juicy's. Two left on my list are Armando & Son's Butcher Shop and of course Beefy's.

    My sister was really looking forward to a visit @ Pine State Biscuits. With a 4+ star rating and…read moreover 1500 reviews, this place can't miss. Right??? Our family of 8 arrived here to a line that only continued to build. The line exited the building and began to wrap alongside the building. Seating here is first come first serve and are only designated by staff. Saving tables and sitting down prior to placing an order is a big no-no. BUT!! That didn't stop others from doing this anyhow. Let me start off by saying how chaotic this place is. This began from the initial line up to order and continued throughout the meal. Staff seemed flustered, overwhelmed, and moody. I'm not sure if the vibe of our visit would be considered "normal" to the staff and regulars but from my perspective looking in, it just seemed uncomfortably unorganized. As a forewarning to those who have never visited this establishment before, do your research and try to decide on what you would like to order prior to reaching the register area. Being prepared assists in quicker lines and you avoid looks of annoyance overall. Our family ordered a bunch of stuff: *THE REGGIE- hold the cheese & gravy *BLUEBERRY CORNMEAL PANCAKE - single *CORNMEAL PANCAKE- single *BUILD YOUR OWN BISCUIT - bacon, sausage, egg *Side order of EGG *Side order of BACON x2 *CHICKEN FRIED STEAK PLATE w/ BISCUIT *HASH BROWN, 2EGGS, + BACON *THE MONEYBALL *BEIGNETS Food came out at all different times. It was just unfortunate how one child in particular's meal came out at the very end when everyone was pretty much done with eating. The female staffer who brought over the dishes dropped plates on the table before scurrying off. At first I thought it was just a random occurrence but when it consistently happened, there was no way to justify that kind of service. Food was doable. The whole hype over Pine State Biscuits was simply that- JUST HYPE. The dining experience overall and vibe of the eatery was just not my scene. Kudos to those who genuinely enjoy the establishment but I'm gonna have to pass. I wouldn't openly waste my time or calories here.

The only downside I'd say was that we were there paying the bill and going to the bathroom on our way out at closing time and all the chefs were giving us really dirty looks and staring at us. I thought maybe we had been there way past close, but I looked at the clock and it was literally 2:04 pm when we were on our way out. I understand everyone is ready to get out of there after a long day but it definitely felt very unwelcoming. Other than that, I'd say it was a good experience and worth the money, but definitely don't be in there past close time.
