Unique in the best way possible. Service: Incredible person behind the bar. I'm a bit of a coffee snob and we were discussing about beans and the California coffee scene. He recommended many great beans (notable reps) and knew his stuff. The person definitely made us feel welcome! I love the fact that one could order coffee bar-style---and that the person behind the bar is knowledgeable about both coffee and alcohol. Ambience: Love the decor. I mean, who isn't tired of the copy & paste coffee shops that are around? Their set-up, concept, and decorations make the place so appealing. Fare: Naturally, I ordered the piloncillo latte. Great flavours, strong coffee, and the right balance of milk:coffee. I also grabbed the morning bun, which tasted great! Pastry was a bit on the drier side, but not enough to ruin the overall experience. : ) read more

The girls and I came here after yoga in the park. We all sat at the bar and ordered coffee and matcha. Very quick with the drinks and they were all made very well. Our food on the other hand took at least 45 minutes to come to us, to the point where we thought they forgot our food. The sweet bread was delicious and so was the quiche, I just wish the food service was a little quicker This used to be Blind Dog Tavern. They've done a great job with the decor inside. It definitely feels like a brand new space. I wish them the best. This is such a great idea to transition between coffee, food, cocktails, etc. read more

I have now had the pleasure of visiting Karajillo for both their coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening. In our latest visit we went for coffees and got the Dulce de Leche and Piloncillo Lattes. Both were excellent with a strong espresso kick that I love. We also took the pineapple matcha to go, which was good we got it with oat milk because our stomach is not what it used to be, but it overpowered it a bit. The barristas were also extremely friendly and chatted with us throughout our time there. This place also makes excellent cocktails. We have had several through two menu changes so from the ones they have now the Carajillo and the Flor de Jamaica are solid. Also the Sancha cocktail is really good. We really enjoy how it's decorated and always has a cool vibe in there so like spending some time there either just us two or with a small group of friends. It's specially a great place to close out the night after dining at Toro Bravo. read more

Ok, so I don't give 5 stars to coffee shops, normally. But this place was great! 2 for 1 bar coffee shop. Fun atmosphere with dark walls and big plants, a bar with seating around. 4? large tv's with sports on. Walked in and the 2 guys behind the bar were super friendly and helpful. I got an iced Mexican Piloncillo latte and it was delicious! Next time I'll add an additional shake of cinnamon, b/c I looove cinnamon. I also got their potato leek quiche which came with arugula tossed in a really yummy vinaigrette. Quiche was different, the leeks and cheese were mixed in with the potato in a more of a mashed potato base? And the red mildly spicy sauce paired really well. Would totally get again. read more

I came to try this place shortly after it opened but didn't leave a Yelp review because a Yelp page didn't exist yet. I finally made it back for a second trip and saw there's now a Yelp page for their business, so I'm getting around to making a review! The first time I came, the entrance was really hard to find. I saw a sign for an old business but couldn't find any signage for Karajillo anywhere. Turns out, the door is right around the corner from N Sierra Street and is directly across the alley from Liberty. Since my first visit, they've added a sign across the front window on N Sierra St which makes it much for visible! The interior of this shop is beautifully designed with a classy and sophisticated feel. It doubles as a coffee shop and bar but I've only been here for coffee so far. Most of their coffee menu has Mexican-inspired drinks which makes them unique compared to most other shops in town. The first time I came, I got the Dulce de Leche latte. The second time, I got the Mexican Piloncillo Latte. Both were great! Not too sweet, subtle enough to have the flavors present but not overwhelming. I appreciated trying some new specialty lattes that you don't see anywhere else. The baristas are knowledgeable and friendly. Location is prime, close to the riverwalk downtown (which does make parking a bit challenging). This is a great spot for a new coffee shop and I'm excited to come back to try their cocktails sometime soon! read more

Came in with a friend for coffee. I have been planning to come here since they first opened - glad I finally made it. I have been familiar with this location for quite awhile from when it started out as possibly the worst Subway ever, to now a warm, cozy, comfortable spot to stop by with a bestie for a drink - be it caffeinated or boozy (or both) There are snacks available - both sweet and savory. The service was good and our drinks were prepared as ordered. Looking forward to coming back both for a coffee and breakfast treat, and a boozy cocktail with noshes. read more

I've really enjoyed all of my visits to Karajillo both in the day for coffee and in the evening for cocktails. My first visit I ordered a dulce de leche latte and my friend got the picante mocha. The baristas/bartenders were really nice but the layout of the seating is oddly tight and hard to get into. As a result when bringing our drinks out the barista accidentally spilled some of my drink on the floor and table and had to come back and clean it up. My next visit I got the piloncillo latte which I really enjoyed and had a sweet and toffee-like flavor from the brown sugar cane. While I'm a diehard iced coffee fan, in my opinion, all the drinks were better hot than iced. The cocktails were really good. I tried the Karajillo with a K and the vespera. The Karajillo with a K had a good coffee taste, not super spirit forward, with a flavorful banana foam. A great dessert-like cocktail. The vespera was on the other spectrum. A bright, spritzy and refreshing fruity cocktail with a bit of a kick. Start with this, finish with the Karajillo! Overall, I love the hours of this place! I love that there's somewhere you can grab a nice latte after 5pm. Definitely stop by for either coffee or cocktails if you have a chance! read more

Love the concept of a coffee and cocktail bar. Haven't tried the coffee yet so I can't speak to that. I really enjoy the small curated menu. The mocktails and cocktails are delicious. The vibe is cute; the space is small so feels intimate. Would recommend if you want a cute place to grab a drink or two. read more

A new venture from Chef Sergio of LaCondesa and Toro Bravo. Holds up to his standards. Opens at 7 am for great morning coffees. Stay open until 11 pm or midnight depending on the night for unique coffee cocktails. The space is simple and open. A bar with about 8-10 seats and a half a dozen tables. The menu consists of its coffee drinks, cocktails, wine list and snack page. 7 am to midnight Karajillo has you covered. My visit was 3 pm on a Friday, nice and quiet before to weekend crowd started. The Leche Clara was a great surprise. I was expecting a cocktail like a latte. It had no milk yet had that creamy taste. I enjoyed it. But the El Viejon also caught my eye, so I tried it too. This bourbon based cocktail had cacao butter and cascara de cafe, a great afternoon cocktail or brunch cocktail. The bartender was playing with a new possible addition to the menu- their version of a White Russian. Wow, one of my favorite cocktails. I hope this one makes the next menu. It was more than devine, made with a cold brew, it had a much deeper, richer flavor than a traditional White Russian. I will absolutely be back. There's more pages to sample. Limited street parking since it's downtown. I walked, it's more accessible that way. There's a parking ramp across the street that's also available. read more

I've been wanting to try this place since it opened a few months back and finally made it in. It has the most perfect ambiance to sit and relax with a Cocktail or one of their specialty Coffees. For this visit, we were here for Coffee. I had the Mexican Piloncillo Latte and my daughter had the Dulce de Leche Latte. Both were great!! I also learned that all syrups are house-made, which is something that I always look for and hours are 7a to 11p (Midnight on the weekend). Who's ever tried to find coffee late at night? Me..... I loved it here!! read more

Super friendly service, the barista welcomed me in and gave me the low down on the morning drinks being served. I went with the Piloncillo latte and of course the pineapple matcha. The latte was yummy, not too sweet but with a hint of smokiness from the raw piloncillo sugar. The barista said they make their syrups in house and you can definitely tell. My matcha was ceremonial grade and had more of a piña colada flavor which made me dream of summertime. It is only served iced which is understandable, I don't think the flavor would translate well served hot but it would be nice to have a hot matcha option on the menu to order in cold months. Fun place to have coffee, plenty of seating and chill music being played. Will be back for the mocha (and NA beer) next! read more

I love a good local coffee shop find and when I heard there was a new local place nearby I needed to check them out. It's conveniently located downtown off Sierra St. they are open at 7, they currently don't have any hours listed for closing time. As soon as you walk in and take the steps up to the coffee shop you'll Greeted my Eric. He's friendly and can make a recommendation if you want one. I wanted to try the Mexican Piloncollo Latte which is considered one of their specialties. The best way I can describe Piloncillo is like a Mexican version of brown sugar that gives off a Carmel like taste. To be honest I was expecting a little bit more of the caramel taste with the latte, don't get me wrong it does taste amazing I was just hoping the flavor would stand out. I would definitely go back and hang out there while enjoying my coffee. They have the cutest seating area surrounded by windows and a quiet work environment as well. I can't wait to go back and try different drinks. read more

Wonderful homey coffee shop with a vibrant bar like atmosphere. Staff is super friendly and even made me a chai (which wasn't on the menu) and it was delicious! We had also stumbled upon loteria night which was described as Mexican bingo. Fun game to learn, pay attention! Really good drinks, nice spot as an aperitif post dinner or to get some work done. Glad we stopped in here before our show. read more

I've been wanting to try out this place since they opened, and I'm glad I was able to today. This is both a coffee shop and a bar, and they are currently working on a food program. I got a white chocolate mocha and it was delicious. Not too sweet and very flavorful. The space is beautifully designed. It's a very comforting and relaxed vibe. You can sit at the bar, but they also have couches and some other high top chairs. There was a decent amount of people in there relaxing and some working. The barista/bartender was super nice and knowledgeable of the different coffee options. This is a great spot that is a wonderful addition to downtown. read more

I have been dreaming of a spot like this for a while and even wanted to open almost exactly this place myself. I was walking into this place not exactly sure what to expect, but I knew when I walked up the stairs and saw what I saw....I was in heaven. The ambiance was perfect, to the chairs the art, and most importantly the AMAZING Tequila selection! The barista was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about what was going on. This is the type of place I could do remote work out of having coffee in the morning and transition to Tequila in the afternoon/evening! I am so excited for this place and with the owners owning places successful places near by I have no doubt it will do good. read more

Came here on a Saturday morning around 8am, and it was lovely to choose a table and seat right next to the window before it became busy. They serve latino-inspired coffees (and alcohol drinks in the evening!); I had a latte made with piloncillo that I quite enjoyed! The barista made the recommendation, and he was really friendly from hello to goodbye. I like the warm, clean decor, and it's nice to have a new coffeeshop option downtown. read more

I live downtown on the river and walk every evening. I honestly thought this location was just a bar, but noticed it also served coffee and just so happened to be wanting a treat on my nightly walk. The coffee menu is special and slightly niche. The syrups are all house-made and it was truly one of the best iced lattes I have had in a long time. I'm super happy to have a spot that stays open late. The interior is chic and feels like I'm not in Reno read more

Reno doesn't know how to do coffee and unfortunately Karajillo is not the exception. Tried the Mexican Piloncillo Latte. Overly sweet artificial vanilla taste, with espresso not strong enough to cut through the milk. Piloncillo is traditionally a very smoky caramel and molasses taste-- this was not that. Happy to have tried it out but probably don't need to go back. read more

This was a neat late night spot that had a chill vibe and the ability for us to study after most coffee shops are closed. Located in the heart of downtown Reno this spot of great for a quick drink, coffee, or snack as you work, or people watch from the elevated shop. Being right on the corner lends an open feeling to the space. The staff was friendly and the chocolate crossing hit the spot as I studied. read more

Wow, great spot conveniently located in downtown Reno and friendly staff. Plenty of seating for work from home option and along the bar (they have outlets on the ground too ). Amazing transition from a regular coffee early in the morning to a cocktail in the afternoon with girl friends, solo drink by yourself or date and walk near the Truckee River. I had the Dulce de Leche and an Iced Spanish Latte they'll probably make anything that's not on the menu, just ask! Prices are comparable with other coffee shops in the area. Will be back for an Expresso Martini read more

I knew I would love this place before I tried it! Having had Karajillo on my radar for some time and trying to find a place to warm up after the Western Lights Festival I suggested to a friend we stick our heads in here and it's it not too crowded let's grab a drink! Thankfully there were some seats and more people were filtering out so we lucked out! I think this place has an overall great vibe, although small it had enough seating. The latin music only added to the vibe! Definitely after trying Toro Bravo recently could see how it was the same owner! I ordered the Leche Clara and my friend went with the Flor de Jamaica! Wow, I really enjoyed my drink and my friend let me sample hers and it was just as great! You can tell (as I saw) the bartenders take their time with every intricate detail of the drink and they weren't crazy priced either! Already want to go back! read more

Was in town for a few days and looked up craft cocktails... and yes! Glad we found you guys. Great craft cocktails. Great selection of tequila and whiskey which is why I came. For anyone coming from out of town, come in early, have a coffee (yes also a coffee shop) then stay for an appetizer and a great drink. The music and overall ambiance and on a Sunday around noon was super chill and I wouldn't have it any other way. Props to Peter and Kelvin! You guys were the best.

Snazzy new coffee shop in town! My boyfriend and I decided to check out this new place in downtown Reno. We had a little bit of trouble locating the coffee shop. For some reason maps kept taking us to Toro Bravo. But Karajillo & Co is located on the corner of W 1st St and N Sierra St directly East across the street from Antonios. My first impression of the place is that I love the ambiance. The area is intimate and for all the times I've gone, there are always a few people in there but not busting at the seems busy. There are seats at the bar and also individual tables as well. In my opinion, it would be a great place for a 1 on 1 or a place to grab coffee with a few friends if you prefer a chill laid back yet sophisticated atmosphere. You go up the stairs when you walk in and once you're on the second level, it's awesome how elevated you feel compared to outside when you're looking out the window. They have a huge selection of drinks. My boyfriend always gets his typical vanilla latte with oatmilk here. I personally like the Karajillo Piacante Mocha. If you get the Mexican Pillocillo Latte and like your drinks not too sweet, then I recommend getting it 1/2 sweetened since it runs pretty sweet imo. The staff are friendly. I'd really love to go here on an night out and try out their cocktails since this place flips to a bar at night from a coffeebar in the day time (super sick!). I recommend checking this place out! read more
