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
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

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.

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.

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!

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!

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

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.

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!

There are two levels to the restaurant, and we dined on the second floor. The upstairs dining area has a sports bar feel with plenty of TVs to catch a game, and Wolf Pack memorabilia throughout, which fits the location perfectly. The service was efficient and friendly. 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.

Bighorn has a great outdoor seating space with TVs, plants, picnic tables, corn hole, heaters for cold weather, kid friendly, great menu, daily specials, a bar. It's almost Heaven:) Just to let you know, this is big food! Plan on taking a little home:) or sharing family style:) Kylie was our server and she is awesome! Kudos for a great experience!

Hey there Party People…read more In Reno doing the Gambling thing as well as the SPA. Decided to branch out and try a locals favorite the Bighorn Tavern. The atmosphere is everything you would want from a local bar joint. Pool table, Dart boards nice outside patio with heaters. Appetizers were Onions Rings and Cheesy Garlic Bread. The Onion Rings were tempura style fresh made in house...no frozen bag crap here. For my husband they were a hair on the doughy side but they weren't greasy at all which a totally appreciate. The Garlic bread was tasty having a hard Toasted cheese top with the gooey cheese underneath and the flavor was spot on. I'm a dark beer drinker so I went for the MOOSE DROOL if you had to many the moose wouldn't be the only thing drooling . You can't go to a tavern and not try one of the drafts...that would just be wrong. Hubby had the Prime Rib sandwich thought it was tasty with the chimiruri sauce and provolone cheese. I had the Meatloaf melt. It was the bomb. Tons of grilled onions a total mess to eat but so worth it...just make sure to ask for extra napkins. It's a place worth driving to...hang with the locals and have a pint. Be kind to one another

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 garlic bread pull-apart was honestly one of the highlights of the meal -- absolutely amazing and definitely something we'd order again. The pizza was also really good with great flavor and fresh ingredients. The atmosphere had a nice downtown vibe and felt relaxed and welcoming. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was the service timing after our appetizer order. Once we got the garlic bread, it took about 20-30 minutes before our server came back to take our actual food order, which slowed things down quite a bit. Outside of that, everything else was great. One helpful tip for anyone visiting: there's paid meter parking on the street, so make sure to put enough time on the meter just in case your visit takes a little longer than expected. Overall, definitely worth checking out and we'd still come back again.

The whole vibe at the J has totally changed from when it was The Sands and this was Mel's Cafe…read more This is now their "Coffee Shop". It has a bit of the retro feel to it and was a nice place for lunch with a friend. I ordered the BLTA with a side of fries. I just had water to drink but there were multiple offerings from boozy to soft drinks and other non-alcoholic choices. Our server was attentive and checked on us throughout. The meals took awhile to get to us (I think their kitchen probably covers more than just Hanna's Table) but it was worth the wait. My BLTA was just as I liked it - crisp bacon, large slices of tomato, creamy avocado and lettuce leaves. A perfect classic with a touch of hipster add-on. Would I drive out of my way to eat here? Probably not, but since it is about 2 blocks from home it would be worth a return visit,

I frequent Hanna's Table often, and I was so excited to see the new drink menu that I decided to…read morebranch out and try something different. 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!
