Seating
Talia G.

Really cute and fun space designed for a variety of customers. Stopped by on a Tuesday afternoon and had a pleasant ordering experience. Hardly any wait for my beverage (dirty chai) and there are lots of food and drink options! There's very sunny patio seating, and three seating zones inside. Seems to be a kid-friendly space; there were several moms with toddlers. There were also people working on laptops and reading, so it seems like a solid spot for whatever you need it to be. Will be back!

Vanilla chai

I think this is one of the best chais in the Reno/Sparks area. They have a standalone location in sparks and then one at the marina, which is pictured here. It's a great location to grab a coffee and take a stroll around the marina. I've always had very friendly service here too!

Great and fast service as usual. The young lady did great getting our orders and accommodating with the food preferences we have. I Highly recommend !

Irish cream latte

We saw that they had pistachio lattes so we went. They did not, but the other coffee that we had was good. We had a strawberry donut and berry coffee cake. The coffee cake was dry and the donut wasn't good. We won't be back.

Winter Specials

I love coming to Lighthouse Coffee for the views, seasonal drinks, and cozy atmosphere. The service is always great, with a very friendly staff. I visited this weekend and ordered the Winter Spice Latte - the aroma was inviting, and the drink was perfectly sweet and flavorful. I loved how the spices complemented the coffee. 10/10 recommend this place!

We like to stop here after walking around the marina. I haven't been there when there wasn't a line, not a fast moving line but manageable. I saved an outdoor table while hubby and friend ordered and waited for our items. The quiche was tasty and it was made with hash browns as the crust, which I liked. It was cheesy and the olives were yummy! The blended drink was refreshing. Hubby and friend got smoothies mango and 3 berry with protein powder. They enjoyed them. Outside was shady a nice place to visit and people watch.

Drive to coffee shop

Lighthouse Coffee is hands-down my favorite spot in town. They always have great options, and everything tastes good and is clearly thoughtfully crafted. My newest obsession is their mango matcha - it is to die for. If you haven't tried it yet, you're seriously missing out! Also with their new interior revamp there is more room for sitting and hanging out!

I always go to the Marina location because of the nice view while drinking coffee. The baristas are ALWAYS so friendly and welcoming. I love most of their drinks but I feel like their matcha's hit or miss. Their Blended Caramilla is my go to order. I tried the Tiramisu Latte and it was good! Their Dubai Chocolate was too sweet. The Mango Matcha felt like it needed more matcha to it. The mango at the bottom tastes good though!

Iced matcha with a bacon and cheddar scone (in bag)

Where do I start?! I love finding smaller local coffee shops. I kept hearing about this place (I just moved here from Sacramento). People have said they have great coffee and food. So I had to stop in and try something. I got the matcha, a bacon and cheddar scone and a chocolate milk for my daughter. The scone was AMAZING. The matcha was GREAT! Next time I'm trying their coffee. Ambiance is cute. Small inside area and a wonderful outdoor seating area too!

Rodolfo and an Americano.
Roderick M.

Great spot with some great employees. The coffee is so much better than your chain coffee shops. They've also got a rewards program that keeps me coming back. So if you're tired of just bad bean coffee go to the lighthouse. I'm there at least once a week.

Located at the Sparks Marina Park. We were walking the loop around the lake and made a stop here to get some coffee and breakfast sandwich. There is seating inside and outside the store. It was busy but wasn't too bad.

I have heard great things about Lighthouse but we are just never over on that side of town! Well, we were assigned the Sparks Marina for our volunteer work this week and I just knew we would have to stop for a break. Turns out, Saturday evening was the perfect time for a tea! I had the Raspberry Matcha which I LOVED and my hubby enjoyed his coffee as well. This cute little shop is def a hidden gem. While it is small on the inside their patio area with the view of the water is something special. On top of that, everyone was very friendly and our drinks were done almost as fast as we ordered them! Maybe, I will just have to make more special trips over to enjoy their offerings!

Americano

I met a friend here to catch up with on a beautiful Tuesday. The gentleman who took my order was very friendly and made/served my coffee quickly. It was served fresh and I was super happy about that experience. The only negative things i have to say is how hot it was in there.. we were sweating and had to go outside. The velvet couch we sat on was also a bit dirty with crumbs and spilled coffee. Other than that everything was great! Lighthouse is right on the marina and a wonderful place to grab a coffee with a view. They do have outdoor seating as well.

The location is ideal. It is recently remodeled and spacious, clean and decorative. The service is improved to order in one area and the line up to pay at a register while your meal starts to be prepared. The staff is professional, personable and proficient. The food is brought to your table in a very quick time frame. I actually did lot put my order number on the table yet and the chicken tenders were being delivered. This kids menu has 3 large chicken tenders with ranch dressing, fruit cup or chips, milk or juice and a soft serve ice cream with sprinkles upon request. Such a great meal for kids at a reasonable price! We mention the deal to a lady with two grandkid at the play area and sure enough we saw her at the cafe ordering two kids meals! Awesome!

The Chicken was tender and tasty, but I wasn't too fond of the Parmesan Crusted Garlic Sourdough Bread. The salad was really good though and all ingredients tasted really fresh. Overall, I think the quality is quite good. The Customer Service was another story. The employees in the food section were unfriendly and almost on the verge of being rude. I have always had great Customer Service when I order coffee (which is a different section), so I was very surprised. Not sure if I will be back for food, but will always come back for coffee.

Their baristas are patient, kind, and provide good recommendations if you don't know what to go for when you come in. I'll likely be there at least once a week until I graduate... then I'll find another excuse to get in here

We found this restaurant since the other place we wanted to go to was closed. I have never heard of…read morethem, but they have really good reviews so we checked them out. After parking, there were two doors/exits. We came in from the side and had to walk around to the front. There were a lot of people so we got on the waitlist. There is plenty of space inside to sit and wait. It's a lot larger on the inside than I expected with many tables so the wait was not too long. Once we were seated, we got our drink orders in and the server came to greet us. They had a lot on the menu so it took a bit to look through everything. I got the pancake combo and it was good. They gave me scrambled eggs instead of over medium eggs, and the server was quick to get the kitchen to make the correct eggs. I would love to try other items on the menu because it all looks really good. The atmosphere was decorated for Christmas, and there was a mural on the wall. It felt very cozy like you're being welcomed into someone's home for a meal. It does get very loud since they have so many tables and it is all one large open space. To pay, we go up to the counter. Overall, I am glad we found this place! The service and food were good. Definitely will come back and try other items on the menu.

Tried the Crab Cake Benedict, French Toast, and Joe's Scrambles…read more Generous portions which make the prices reasonable. Crab Cake Benedict has the traditional hollandaise sauce. Sauce had slight lemony flavor. Crab cake was pretty thick. Giving it 3 of 5 stars. Joe's Scrambles did not skimp on ingredients. Scrambled eggs with ground beef, mushroom, bell peppers, onions and cheese. 4/5 stars. Came with your choice of potatoes, choice of toast and a wedge of cantaloupe. The French Toast came with eggs, bacon, and country sausage for additional $3. French Toast was standard but the country sausage was special. Two sausage patties that look like small hamburger patties; soo good. Best sausage I've had; combo of slight sweetness, saltiness and peppery. French toast was 3/5 but the Sausage patties were great; 5/5. Looked like they made them in house. Country potatoes side was good too. Good portion and we'll seasoned. We showed up around 10:00am and got a table right away. By the time it's 11:00am, there's a line. Staff were very nice and quick.

I can't say I've ever met one I didn't like. Heck, even the 1/2-priced day-olds have a place in my heart. Have you ever put a donut in the microwave for 20 seconds? Today, a volunteer was needed to pick up a dozen donuts for a meeting. I said, "You buy, I fly," and off I went. It's 8:45am, not too busy, and customer service is spot on. The display cases are full of beautiful sprinkles and glaze and peanuts and bacon... yup, I was eye-balling that Maple & Bacon! I requested a mixed dozen. Then I saw it... the sign read "Sausage, Jalapeno and Cheese kolache." Ooooh goodness gracious, it was the biggest kolache I'd ever seen. And Id never seen one in Reno or Sparks. They do grow things bigger in TX. I know cuz I lived in Deep East TX. But this is Sparks, NV, and I want to try this. I've eaten a kolache or 2 or 500 in my day. He even offered to warm it up before I asked. I wanted this to be good, no I wanted it yo great. To be the "Whete have you been since I moved back to NV?" it wasn't. I was disappointed. The amount of filling to bread ratio was way off, in my opinion. I expected a sausage, not 6-8 sausage "coins" wrapped in a 7" x 5" dough package. It was soft, and the color was so inviting. It looked like it was gonna be amazing. If you've never tried one, do try Donut Bistro's kolache... It's a soft, warm, savory option. Just make sure to also ask for the Maple & Bacon, cuz that one doesn't miss a point!

You've got CnC, Mountain Mike's, Smashin' Good Times, Paleteria del Angel, and Shang Hai restaurant all in the same spot, and you can have one helluva day just bouncing from one to the other.
