I love lighthouse coffee! They have great coffee, clean environment, and love that you can walk around Marina after you get coffee!

Food was great, the coffee was delicious, service was good, and the atmosphere was great. The wait a little long, but what is waiting if everything else is great. I would recommend read more

Beautiful scenery, fresh air and lovely puppies! Mix that with the Dirty Chai (which I tried for the first time) you can beat a Sunday morning like this unless Jesus came back! I'm from out of town and my friend recommended this coffee shop to me. Take a chance here! It's actually delicious read more

I try to run at the marina every weekend in the morning. I'm not too big on breakfast unless someone wants to go out, but I enjoy treating myself after a good cardio work-out and on the weekend especially after a long work week. SOO I told myself I'd come here every weekend after my run instead of starbucks every other day lol (We'll see). I've tried the Carmelillo, the Chai latte, and the white chocolate drink. So far, all their drinks have be swell. This place is my go-to coffee place now when I'm by the marina. The gal and the owner are sweet. The gal was conversing with me like she had known me for years. I love good conversation. She also mentions the original Lighthouse coffee place (where she normally works), so I'll have to check it out! She's also the person who introduced me to the best Chai Latte I've ever had ;) read more

Fun place to go with friends and family. Inside and outside seating both with great views of the water and mountains! Drinks are reasonably priced and so delicious! I got an iced dirty chai and it was everything I expected! Try the kombucha on tap that comes directly from a local company in South Lake Tahoe! The staff is extremely friendly and sweet! read more

Off the beaten path, this location has great views of the Sparks marina and a casual yet upbeat ambience. I went on a pre-snow, windy afternoon, but imagine on a gorgeous sunny day it'd be nice to sit outside on the patio while enjoying a beverage. I ordered a matcha latte, which they happen to excel at making, for a very reasonable price in my opinion. Naturally I needed a snack to go with it, so I picked out a blueberry muffin too. Impressively they offer gluten free (and vegan?) pastry options, woohoo! Despite the small interior, there's quite a bit of seating for studying, catching up with a friend, group work at a couple longer tables, or sitting at the bar and chatting with the friendly barista. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Finally a place to grab a cup of coffee while strolling around the Marina in the morning. I've been wishing for this for years. What better coffee brewer could have taken up residence in this location than Lighthouse coffee. Location is fantastic, the Vanilla Chai latte is probably the best in town and the quiche is to die for. Free wifi if you are a local road warrior who often works at coffee shop stops around town like me. And they even have beer and wine for a break after an evening stroll around the Marina. read more

It's a nice corner area of the apartments community and below what will be local business offices above. Friendly service, small inside, but very nice. read more

Loving Lighthouse Coffee for so many reasons. Upon pulling into the parking lot you are greeted with a beautiful view of Sparks Marina. Entering the door the visitor finds classy décor, modest indoor seating and a beautiful outdoor area with that fantastic Sparks Marina view. So far the beverage choices are the Earl Grey, Chai Tea Latte and an old fashioned Latte. All are delicious and the Latte natural flavors come out wonderfully. Ran by a friendly staff they answer my questions with smiles and allow for samples, which for the Kombucha on tap I took full advantage of and certainly am thankful. All are tasty options for the Scoby connoisseur. I suggest running the gauntlet on this menu and sharing your thoughts. read more

They honestly have the best chai latte in town! I get it with almond milk and they somehow steam it perfectly every time, no matter who's making it. Cute interior with lots of tables to study. They also have a good amount of tables outside as well, which is lovely given that this place is in such a beautiful location. read more

I live nearby and I am absolutely obsessed with this coffee shop. First of all, the Sparks Marina is awesome! Also, you can sit and relax outside with your dog and get some sun/fresh air. I really like the staff here. I am big on good coffee and I hate it when you go in a place and it is hit or miss. Amazing one day and bad another. I've thrown away coffee at places (sad face) It's because some baristas are not trained right. Here at Lighthouse, Its always consistent and amazing. They know what they are doing and they also know how to make anything. They will even recommend random stuff that is amazing. Also since I am allergic to wheat, they have delicious bananna chocolate muffins from Whole Treats bakery in Truckee. (Also amazing) Everything is decently priced too! I am so excited thinking about this, I am going first thing tomorrow read more

Lighthouse coffee is right off the Sparks marina and is the perfect stop if you want stay local. The place is small but there is lots of outside seating and some cute inside seating, bonus points for having some really cute plants too read more

Haven't been to the S. Reno location, but was working on a long term project in East Sparks and spent quite a bit of time here over the last few months. Sometimes just for coffee and other times ducking in for a meeting or two when I needed to get out of the client's office. The coffee in all it's forms is amazing. The Kombucha and scones are equally good. The thing you will remember most about your visit here is the particular focus on service. It is clear from the initial greeting, to the farewell. The people here care about your business and want you to be delighted with every aspect of your visit. Now that that project is over, I will miss popping in here most mornings, but I will certainly find excuses to visit the S. Reno store as often as possible. read more

Lighthouse Coffee - Definitely enjoy this place. Great coffee. Great service. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

I love their Chi Latte however i am not a fan of the coffee itself. It has a weird after taste to me

I have always drove past signs for this coffee shop and finally decided to stop by. This place was popping!!!! So many people and many dogs!!! The staff was very friendly and service was fast and great! Pretty good prices as well. Loved the look of the coffee shop as a whole. Definitely will come back and maybe use this as a study spot for school. read more

By far my favorite place to go and leisurely have a cup of coffee in Sparks. Nice staff with fun monthly specials to try! My only complaint is that there are only small mugs for ordering in but if you want anything larger there are paper "to-go" cups regardless. The construction will hopefully be finished soon and then I will give them 5 stars! (Not the most convenient to get to at the moment) read more

Great coffeeshop we went to this morning. Situated on a little residential lake. They serve great espressos, draft kombucha, quiche, bagels and cream cheese, muffins and even a couple draft beers. We got the fix we needed in the nice quiet little place and left charged and ready to go. read more

I love this place. The owners treat everyone that walks in like family. The drinks are consistent in flavor regardless of who makes it. I just tried their new raspberry walnut muffin; YUM! Right now my favorite drink is a dirty vanilla chai with raspberry. Come summer, I'll go back to the blended caramilla. Never disappointed when I come here. Once the marina is done with construction by their location it should be amazing... read more

I took my dog for a walk to the Marina early this morning and was pleasantly surprised to see this place up and running. I was surprised to hear that it is associated with the one on Vista, as the food and service are 180 different (I am not a fan of the one on Vista). The look and feel are similar, but this one is much better: it is well lit and seems cleaner. The place is small and cozy, nicely decorated. It is run by the owner's daughter, who is very friendly. There are a few community tables inside and small tables outside. The view is very enjoyable. Lots of dogs walking at the Marina and pet owners popping in to get some coffee. My latte was perfect and the bagel came out nice and toasty. They also have smoothies, I am looking forward to trying those. This is a nice place for a pit stop on our doggie walks. read more

The location next to the Marina is perfect, especially on a cool summer's morning. There are plenty of food options to choose from, and the drinks are top notch! They also have a couple beers on tap, though I have only ever been there in the morning. The staff is beyond courteous. They are great conversationalists, yet always manage to be incredibly speedy with their service. If you sit outside there is plenty to look at. Wave to the joggers as they run by, and you might even spot a paddle boarder out on the water. This is a beautiful place to spend a morning. read more

I'm excited that the marina started to add more shops to the park area!! I finally have more reason to go to the marina and have coffee or their amazing raspberry lavender lemonade is everything. It's not too sweet and supper refreshing. They have many yummy seasonal drinks and they have outdoor and indoor seating. This place leaves water bowls for dogs outside along with a place to clip your dogs leashes while you sit and enjoy your drink. Definitely will come back and recommend read more

As far as coffee lovers go, I think I'm up there. That said, I tried a sample coffee from Lighthouse at Yelpstronomy and was very impressed so I made it a point to check it out and enjoy the marina at the same time. The shop itself is in a great location right on the edge of the marina. From the patio you can see the boats and right across the water. The patio is a good size with a few bigger tables for groups. Inside doesn't have too much seating so I imagine it gets packed in the winter. The decoration fits a cute, simple, and relaxing seaside vibe. They seem to be very dog friendly. There were water bowls and leash hookups outside. I'll come back with my pup next time! The service was great. I walked in not knowing exactly how to order what I had sampled and the staff talked it out with me until we were all on the same page. I was looking for the 'siphon'. It's brewed in this interesting mad scientist machine. The woman helping me explained how it works while I waited for it to finish. Basically a coffee with less bitterness and acidity (I think. After all, I got this lesson before I got my coffee). Very friendly staff at this location! I only tried the siphon coffee so I can't say how amazing the regular cup of joe is from here. It took a few minutes to brew and is quite pricey. Definitely not a good order if you're in a rush. However, it tastes pretty good! I savored it while enjoying the view outside. The regular coffee drinks are reasonably priced and my friend had no complaints so I'm sure it's good, too. read more

So I finally made it all 3 Lighthouse Coffees and now it's time to review them. I believe this is their flagship store. Located at the Spark's Marina with comfy seating inside -- sofa, benches, coffee tables and large dinning tables, outdoor patio or take your java to go and explore the Marina. On this trip I was having an "interview" so I arrived early. There's tons of construction in that area so follow your GPS. When it says arrived; park your car and walk to the water. You'll find Lighthouse. I got 3 shots of espresso over ice and a blueberry lemon scone. The pours are short but the pack just the right punch. The scone was dense, lemony with bursts of blueberries and sweet. I don't get to that neck of the woods often but if you're ever up at the Legends mall this is great place to take a break from mall life! read more

It's not Starbucks and that's why I support this place. While I don't drink coffee, my wife does. So when she ask to stop for coffee, this is where I go. She loves their coffee and great customer service. read more

I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to coffee and espresso. Lately, good espresso has been hard to find. A decent mocha is even harder. I was hopeful, but slightly let down. Sure, they are better than Starbucks in atmosphere and flavor. However, it's hard for me to provide a 4+ review to many coffee shops. So this is my warning to those who read this review: it is fairly biased in my own pallet needs. I was a bit astonished when I mentioned my drinks were hot and was told they were stopped at 140. Sure, I was offered to have remakes. I should have taken that. None the less, the barista assured she stopped the steaming at the correct temperature. Here's what I think happened. It was coconut milk, and I do believe it gets hot much faster than the thermometers are able to read. Or the thermometer was not calibrated correctly. How do I know? Working previously as a barista, the most common thermometer is a cold water calibrated thermometer. They are ever so slightly lagged behind. Also, calibration gets thrown off daily with them, and it's really easy to miss. Finally, I know for a fact different milks steam at different rates. So... there's that. Lastly, I was not impressed by the cocoa flavor. It tasted like fake chocolate flavor or a chocolate alcohol flavoring. This is unfortunate. Coffee and chocolate can go extremely well together, but it has to be high quality cocoa and sugar. So that's my take on this place. Way better than Starbucks, but not quite amazing yet. Maybe I'll try them again in a couple of weeks... read more

Went to Lighthouse a few weeks ago on one of my weekend walks around the marina. First, the inside was super cute, albeit a bit small and packed, but there was still room for social distancing. They also clearly had a marked area for to-go orders. Second, their menu is very creative and actually made it difficult for me to pick which drink I wanted to try, because everything sounded so good! Lastly, of course, the iced drink was fabulous and went perfectly with my stroll around the marina. Thanks for the coffee, 5 out 5, highly recommend! read more

Lighthouse Coffee - View from coffee cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

Always been a fan of this place.. a "beacon" in our community. Thanks for the caffeination!

Love to stop here while doing my walk around the Marina. Great customer service, the drinks and snacks are delish!

Cool place. Good coffee. Nice food options. Normally, that'd be enough for a decent review, but I'd have to add the staff is super friendly and efficient and the view of the water can't be beat! Such a great little find. Only thing is there is a lot of construction going on nearby so be careful where you park if you're driving there because there is much heavy equipment moving around at relatively high speeds. I mean, they know what they're doing, of course, but why risk it, you know? Maybe just park in the neighborhood nearby. But, again- coffee and food items are all top notch. Lots of seating. Nice art. read more

Great coffee and almost always a new selection of roast every day. Good service and they will give you the low down on the different coffee available. Pastries are ok but that's not what you come for. read more

Every Friday I try to hit a new coffee joint. My first Friday in Reno I came to Lighthouse and it did not disappoint. A quaint​ little shop with indoor and outdoor seating. Choose from a huge menu from Americanos to cold brew. Their baked good section is always fresh and delicous. I espeically enjoy their proximity​ to the Marina. (There is construction at the moment), but the Marina boardwalk is just steps from the coffee shop. There's a nice joint parking lot in the back for those looking for a quick getaway. Rach's Recommendation​: CBD Cold Brew with an adult Poptart. read more

Very nice staff. Great selection. Coffee was great. Tucked away on marina if you are passing through and not sure where to look!

First time at this place. Let me say one thing... BEYOND AMAZING! Joel and Jane ( I believe ) THE OWNERS , were more than accommodating. Bagels = DELICIOUS! Dirty Chia = EXTRA DIRTY! Thank you! read more

Ran a virtual 5k at the marina and decided to try Lighthouse coffe for the first time about a month ago. Best coffee and scone I've had in Reno. I've had Coffeebar, Old World Coffee, and the Basement. Lighthouse wins! They had oat milk, my iced latte was sweetened well, and the lemon lavender scone was bomb!!! Can't wait to go back and support an amazing place! read more
