Iced caramilla
Teuila G.

Super quick service. This visit staff was more friendly than past previous visits here. It was busy and the shop was just as I remembered. I met my sister at the Marina for a few laps and we popped in to grab a drink. We didn't order any food items because we were going to brunch afterwards. I needed my caffeine fix after my hot class to be able to last the extra laps before brunch. I ordered my usual iced oatmilk caramilla and my sister in law got a hot mocha. We enjoyed our drinks while strolling the marina. We'll be back in next time we're in the area.

Matcha
Ashley B.

Thank you for making my first Matcha experience --- a great one!! really appreciate all that you guys do over there at lighthouse and all I can say is keep up the good work! This coffee house is always a vibe.

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!

Their butterscotch latte is probably the best one of their drinks I've had. It's such a bummer that coffee spots have their best flavors as seasonal. I live right next door and always come to the spot. I would love if they would keep this one year round! It's a "I must leave a review" type of good. Workers are lovely as always too!

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 !

The view

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.

Irish cream latte
Britnie M.

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!

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)
Stacie R.

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!

Yes! I went to Lighthouse coffee today and got a medium roast with cream and a bear claw. The coffee was fresh and very tasty.

Midnight has been on my list for a while, and when I was craving coffee one evening and realized…read moremost local spots were already closed by 5pm, I finally made it in. Reno really needs more coffee shops with later hours, and I'm glad we have Midnight! I got the goat toast, and if I could give more than 5 stars for the toast alone, I would. Chef's kiss. The sweetness and tang of the goat cheese with the balsamic, paired with the umami from the grilled onions, was such a good combination. At $8.50, it was worth every penny. For coffee, I got the shaken brown sugar latte, my husband got the iced Purple Haze latte, and my daughter got the chocolate chip croissant. Her croissant had generous chunks of chocolate and was perfectly flaky, so she was very happy. The vibe was great, with the roll-up windows bringing in tons of fresh air and sunlight. It was already popping at 5pm with lots of people working on laptops, but we managed to snag a seat. Midtown has some of my favorite food and drink spots in Reno, but my biggest gripe is usually the parking situation. It can be rough and stressful, so I was pleasantly surprised to find street parking right out front. All around, a great first experience.

I really enjoyed the espresso roast they use in the drinks. I also got a Gluten-Free lemon blueberry poundcake. It was quite good! Denser than a cake, but not quite as dense a cheescake. I enjoyed it.

To say I was blown away is an understatement. It's still got the quintessential CnC charm and humor, but amped up to 10 with lifesize displays, larger murals, more merch and those vibes we all love about this place! The bar area got a massive plus up in Sparks, with a full cocktail program, craft beers, and lots of delightful NA options too. The plush blue chairs look super inviting, and I can just imagine the fun times spent here hanging into the evening. Baristas are super friendly and the menu features all the faves from Reno, and then some! Here's the rub. It's hidden in a quiet corner of the best shopping center in all of Sparks. 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. I sure hope my friends will find their way here to check it out for yourselves. They have awesome events and programs too, so scope the socials for the schedule and make a plan!
