The shake is a star and was delicious and the Dubai chocolate croissant was everything I hoped it would be and more! The place itself is adorable and everyone there was so incredibly sweet (pun intended ) If you are looking for some unique sweets, this place is definitely the spot to go! They also do custom cakes, which I would love to order in the future!

It was a thin white chocolate shell filled with whipped cream and lemon curd. The lemon curd was good. I wanted more lemon because it tasted mostly like whipped cream. The blackberry cupcake didn't have enough blackberry flavor, but the texture was good. The frosting was far too sweet and detracts from the cupcake. The carrot cake was the worst of the three. The cake wasn't spiced enough and was too dense, probably from a sugar soak. The frosting was terrible. If it was cream cheese, we couldn't taste it at all because of how sweet it was. It felt like it coated your mouth in powdered sugar.

When my sister got married, they called and ordered their celebration sweets here. Since she was working swing shifts, it was hard for her to pick up the cake and cupcakes during business hours, so the owner obliged for an after hours stop. I remember the cupcakes were quite good and the cake was yummy as well. Everything they do here has that personalized touch. A much better option than the grocery store. Of course you'll pay a little more. But sometimes it's just worth it. For what it's worth, my sister insists they identify as LGBTQ+ friendly, black/female owned. 11/24

I've started to come back over the last couple months and the last 4 times I've gone there the selection stays the same, and now they've taken away my one motivator for my AM visits.... The golden toasty.... I hate to say but that was the last thing keeping me from just going to Beloved for my pastries and Pangolin for my latte. The last nail was today, this was officially the 4th time in a row that I have gone over the last couple months and they have opened up the store late, while watching all the people line up outside and not reacting to it. You gotta do better if you wanna keep this midtown location Perenn, there is other options that open on time, have a better selection, and are truly bought into midtown. It seems like the Rancharrah location just took all the care out of this place. I'm bummed

This morning I got up early and drove out to the Mayberry landing location to be greeted again by the owner, Claudio and he introduced me to his daughter Melissa, she is the baker in the family! The Caffe is well decorated and easy access from the parking lot! They have indoor and outdoor sitting. As you walk in to order there are two beautiful cases of deserts and breakfast/lunch items. Also a menu to order from such as breakfast sandwiches, I ordered the Ham, Cheese, Egg croissant for my husband. He couldn't believe how big it was. He is saving half for tomorrow. Same with my chocolate croissant I had Melissa cut it in half to enjoy on Mother's Day it was absolutely delicious. I had to sneak a bite before I left the café before I drove home. I just could not wait. Also I got a lemon torte for later. All the food looks scrumptious and if you're looking for an authentic Italian bakery look no further this is the place for you!

The owners Jennifer and Michael Henry make you feel like family. The customer service and attention to "your experience" made you feel like royalty. I had the chocolate eclair and it was scrumptious. It was the best I have ever had. I can't wait to go back and have ice cream and cookies. The ambiance was fun. It felt "Lake Tahoe." If you are looking for a supreme place to get a scoop of ice cream, cookie, or pastry, this is your stop. A huge kudos to Sierra Nevada Bakery and Creamery! You hit the mark! Or should I say, "taste buds!"

We stopped in to Sierra Nevada Bakery and Creamery for a little afternoon treat after a nearby…read moreshow. I was surprised to see this place as I've driven by this strip of businesses many times and never noticed this particular spot. They offer homemade treats, but mostly ice cream. They have an almost unmatched selection of non-dairy ice creams and sorbets. A nice surprise. The gentleman helping us was very nice and gave us a full rundown of how they make everything in house. He offered samples and suggestions. I sampled the flavor of the week, Lavender Honey Matcha, and the coconut cream coffee. My kids decided on the mango sorbet and the classic strawberry. Everything was delicious. The coconut cream ice cream had great flavor and texture given that it was non dairy. My wife and I decided on the matcha flavor of the week. It was very refreshing. The strawberry had real chunks of strawberry which is always a treat. My biggest critique is the texture of the ice cream. This stuff seemed very crumbly. I prefer a much more "chewy" or "sticky" ice cream if that makes sense. This stuff was more "dry" and less "creamy". There are some other local shops in the area that make great ice cream exactly how I like it, which is the only reason for 4 stars. I'm not sure this would be my top place for ice cream again. The smallest "one scoop" size is actually nearly two full scoops. Could be a good thing for some, but a kids scoop is always appreciated for my toddlers, especially a a slightly discounted price. That is not an option here. There are a few small tables inside to enjoy your treats and lots of to-go options which is always nice. The place was clean and well decorated. It was steadily busy while we visited, indicating that this place is likely here to stay. Overall, worth stopping in if you're in the area. The flavors are unique and tasty and the non-dairy selection is fantastic.

They also have free Wi-Fi and plenty of outlets if you need to get work done. This is officially my go-to coffee shop in Reno. Thanks to everyone at Café con Papi!

A warm, bright spot in an otherwise bleak part of Reno…read more My wife and I needed a break from a multi-day volleyball tournament and were thrilled to find a Cuban coffee spot down the street. Immediately loved the vibe; colorful, mural filled space with many seating options, a lunch counter and an outdoor patio area. Super chill, friendly staff serving an eclectic clientele. I'd give it five stars if they were a bit more on point with the Cuban end of things. My wife and I are Anglos, but we're both Miami natives, so we're kind of purists when it comes to our Cuban stuff. This was definitely more "Latin inspired." We were looking forward to traditional pastelitos, but found they had more Mexican sweets and a guava and cheese brioche, which was delicious, but not authentic. Our Cuban sandwich had no pork and the wrong bread (and came with tortilla chips?), but the sandwich itself was quite tasty. And our cafe cubano was a nice coffee, but a bit thin and had only the amount of sugar a sane person would add, which is about a third of what would be in the real deal. So if you want authentic Cuban, this isn't really it. But if you're looking for good coffee and food served by cool people in a warm, funky environment, this place rocks.

The Pumpkin pie was the best Pumpkin pie I've had. Stick to the Pumpkin pie, or you'll be in great danger! That Pecan pie... it's not for us mere mortals! These bakers have gone to far, and (like Prometheus before them) stole the pie recipe from the Olympians! I want to eat the pie until I'm sick, then try to eat the pie to cure my stomach pains. With this pie in hand, all your troubles melt away, as long as the pie lasts. But there's a dark cloud on the horizon... this pie does not last forever! You look down at the plate, debating lapping up the crumbs. You look over at the last slice on the dessert table. That last, unclaimed bit of pure joy. Then you look around the room. The others have tasted the pie... Your dear, sweet mother. Your aged father. Neither of them is a threat. The grandparents? Bah, they couldn't even make it to the table and you'd have the pie half-way down your gullet. Aunts and uncles... you could push through them without any issue. Your brother may pose a threat, but how dangerous can a marine *really* be? Your sister? No, guile and deception won't win the day, here. The kids table.. were there 4 there earlier? 5? Could their youth really allow them to be swift enough to gain them victory? No, they'd turn on each other. Just... have to get that one last slice of pie....

Had been wanting to try Little Lupine Bakery and saw that they still were offering pumpkin items. First of all, their online ordering site is so easy to use and they have a great selection-not just pumpkin! I ordered 2 different pumpkin breads (offered in large or mini sizes), scones and pumpkin bars. Everything was beautifully wrapped and packaged-could easily give this as a gift-and it felt like a gift to myself! Sometimes pumpkin bread and scones can be on the drier side and you need to add butter or jam. Their goods were so soft and flavorful they don't need anything added.

I had previously…read moretried their baked goods which I absolutely loved, but had never dined in for breakfast or lunch until now, and I'm so glad I did. We ordered a mix of items for the table: the lobster eggs Benedict, the chorizo omelet, and a panini (two breakfast dishes and one lunch option), and every single bite was delicious. There honestly wasn't one thing I didn't enjoy. It's a little tricky to find if you're not familiar with the area, but they do have plenty of parking, which makes it easier once you get there. The staff was friendly, kind, and incredibly accommodating. We came in with a large group of eight, and while it's typically a self-seating setup, they went out of their way to help us find a table that could fit everyone and made the whole experience seamless. I would absolutely recommend stopping by for breakfast or lunch and definitely don't skip the baked goods after.

We sat ourselves per their request, with lots of options for seating (high and low 2-tops, low 4- to 6-tops, and patio seating), and were brought some menus shortly thereafter.

We put in our drink orders and finally decided on some food items to order (lots of great breakfast and lunch options to choose from), which our food order was take by a different server. Our food and drinks were brought out by separate food/drink runners while our server(s) were helping with other tables. The food and drinks were delicious! We had some vanilla lattes, a breve latte, and tried the green apple mimosa, made with fresh squeezed green apple juice - a unique and refreshing option for a mimosa! The mixed berry crepes were large and filled with berries and whipped cream. The smoked salmon Benedict was incredibly flavorful with the charred asparagus, sautéed spinach, poached eggs, hollandaise, balsamic drizzle, and capers atop brioche bread. The waffles were quite simple but still yummy. Unfortunately, our server(s) did not come back to check on us and we had to flag someone down for more water and for our check after our plates had been cleared for quite some time. This was the only downside we experienced on this visit, but look forward to coming back with hopefully more attentive service.
