Gingerbread latte, white chocolate cranberry mocha
Lucia L.

If you haven't BEAN to Lighthouse Coffee yet, you definitely have to! It's always a de-LIGHT finding a local coffee shop with a high quality cup of joe, and Lighthouse Coffee is definitely a good option, with three locations in Sparks/Reno. I honestly had low expectations considering that it's a chain + has a drive-through, but the quality of the coffee and the kind, personable service of the baristas quickly blew any qualms away. We ordered their seasonal lattes - the gingerbread latte and the white chocolate cranberry mocha, and we were pleasantly surprised by how well crafted each drink was. They were able to do customizations such as half caffeine + alternative milks like oat milk, and I appreciated how they took the time to pour beautiful latte art for us. My boyfriend tells me that there's long lines in the morning at this Sparks location, and I can totally see why! This cute little coffee shop is definitely well worth the hype, and I can't wait to be back to try more of their drinks and get some studying + work done here!

Service here was fast and good. The busking was clean had many options. Orders the 16oz dirty chai hot. It provided the kick needed to get through the morning. I also ordered the bacon cheddar breakfast burrito which was good. I'd rate it 3 out of 5. Overall good experience and I'd certainly give it another try. They also have smoothies and bagels if that's more of my our jam.

Cute cups

Cute coffee stop. Drive thru is a bit tricky thru the back alley. Open early and visit with the morning commuters. Plan about 15 minutes for your beverage. Girls are friendly and work at their own pace! The lattes have always been a bit too sweet for me. Do not hesitate to ask for lighter syrup. They have a nice seasonal selection of drinks.

Iced Caramilla with SF Vanilla
Adrienne N.

I always ask for my Caramilla to be as sugar free as possible... And there is a gentleman that works that that makes it delicious EVERY TIME. Sometimes, other employees say they can't... But, he always jumps right in and makes it for me. Thank you sir for making my day when I need that cup of coffee

Opted to pop in during a 5 mile walk this morning. Very nice coffee spot atmosphere. Really kind staff and great coffee. The Gibraltor is 2 shots espresso with steamed milk topping. Fire! This place is thriving from the looks of it. Lots of patrons today. I also noticed alot of macro type donuts and healthy smoothies on the menu.

Veggie quiche
Victoria V.

First time here and came in on a Saturday around 1230pm. Not busy at all. The place is cute and clean, plenty of seats for friends or studying. I ordered a sausage and egg quiche and wife ordered a vegan burrito as well as a Caramel coffee and chai. Upon waiting, barista told me they didn't have the quiche I ordered, but only 1 out of the 5 or 6 options of quiche was available. Kinda bummed and weird how they don't know their own inventory. If I would've known, I wouldn't have ordered anything to eat. But I ended up just trying the veggie quiche. Now don't get me wrong, the service is nice and the place is pretty chill, I liked it. But what I didn't like was the food and coffee. My veggie quiche was scorching hot in parts of it and once you got into it, it was pretty cold in the middle and throughout, so the potatoes in it were off putting because of the cold temp. The salsa that comes with it tastes like the salsa from the store, nothing special. My wife's burrito was pretty spotty with the temp as well, parts scorching and parts not just warm, but cold. The chai was iced but tasted room temperature if not warm, and the caramel coffee I had was nice and cold, BUT had a sourness to it. Overall the place and people were nice, but what they offered and how we received it took me by surprise, mainly due to the good reviews they have. I think due to the products received, we will think twice before coming back.

Solid coffee shop with decent offerings and excellent customer service. My wife loves the coffee, I got an energizing seltzer and buttered bagel. I thought the bagel was good, but I didn't like the butter - though there's a possibility it may have been mistakenly cream cheese or a mix. The seltzer was good and hit the spot, but could stand a little more flavor. The real standout was the customer service which was prompt, great communication and problem solving, and very courteous. Will definitely be back to try some more options.

It was our first time here, and we absolutely loved it! We ordered two cappuccinos with half and half--one with sugar-free hazelnut syrup and the other with sugar-free Irish crème. Both were delicious, but the Irish crème stood out as the clear favorite. The ambiance was wonderful, and the baristas were incredibly sweet and welcoming. I highly recommend this place--10/10!

Interior, 4 berry smoothie
Mike B.

Great Vibes & Smoothies Cool spot with a stylish interior and a welcoming vibe. The staff was friendly, and the service was great. I tried the 4 Berry Smoothie--perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. Excited to come back and try more from the menu. Definitely worth a visit!

Iced caramel latte with oatmilk. Absolutely delicious!

Considering that I am a huge fan of "Keva Juice" over their primary competitor and the more wildly…read moreand well-known Jamba Juice, this is actually the 4th different location I have been to in the greater Reno-Sparks metropolitan area. Located in a quiet strip mall directly off of Vista Blvd and adjacent to Baring Blvd/N. D'Andrea Pkwy, this particular Keva Juice opened its doors back in 2014. What I particularly enjoy about this location is the unique views from outside; busy Vista Blvd to the west and a view of the mountainous desert terrain to the east. My lady and I came here during the afternoon on Thursday 7/2/2026 at around 3:45pm. Since this was a few hours after lunch but still several hours before our dinner, this would be the perfect mid-afternoon snack to hold us through. Parking was not an issue as the neighboring businesses are that of an insurance company & dry cleaners (as of mid-2026). As for the interior layout of the business, it is a bit smaller than other Keva Juice locations but still offers limited seating in case you wish to enjoy your smoothie, bowl, or snack inside. Since it was a beautiful summer day and was feeling the tropical vibes, I went with their "Pineapple Splash Smoothie". This consisted of fresh pineapples, guava juice, bananas, strawberries and pineapple sherbet. My lady went with their "Strawberry Squeezer Smoothies" which included a blend of apple/guava juices, bananas, strawberries, non-fat vanilla yogurt, and raspberry sherbet. This place has a huge assortment (and a much bigger variety than Jamba Juice) with a ton of customizable creations. Service was above average as our smoothies were being made as soon as made our payment. I will say that the smoothies here never disappoint as my pineapple splash hit all the high notes. And having gone to their other locations (with above average service and selection) over the course of 7-8 years, this place has consistently done things the right way. However, I cannot speak much of the food items as I have yet to try their waffles, pretzels, pastries, and cookies. They do have fairly decent hours of operation being open weekdays 7am-9pm, Saturday 8am-8pm, and Sunday 9am-8pm. And with an above average mobile app, they offer rewards and mobile pickup. With that said and done, I am giving the Sparks, NV "Keva Juice" a respectable four-star rating.

I hate writing bad updates especially when we've been on such a good streak…read more My last visit in was to pick up an online order for my kids after volleyball practice. The blonde girl working seemed bothered that I was waiting on my order in store after my I got a notification that it was ready. There were no other patrons in store, but a younger teenage boy sitting at the counter. I'm going to assume he was her boyfriend by their conversation. As I sat waiting, she made my two smothies, mind you was the same just two different sizes, a pretzel and a frozen waffle. That took over 10 minutes, the whole time still talking to the boy. Yes I said it a frozen waffle. If I wanted to pay for a frozen waffle, I'd go to the store and buy one. I haven't been back in since and was so disappointed that I had to wait over 10 minutes after I got a notification that my online order was ready. On top of her crappy service, she gave me a frozen waffle in my bag. I over tipped online and I'll never do that again. She didn't even deserve a peso. The store started filling up while I was waiting and everyone lined up seemed to be bothering her for wanting a smoothie. You had one young girl working, if you could even call that working. I have steered away from my kids ordering from here after their dental visits and after their weekly sports. Just a message to management: Please train the kids that work for you. That you pay them to take care of your customers not to treat everyone like we are a nuisance to her and her boyfriend.
