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.

Aditi P.

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!

On a weekend trip to Reno, my husband and I had one of the most delicious cups of coffee at a local…read morediner. We loved the coffee so much that we asked our waitress where it came from. We looked the roastery up and drove over. Tim was such a nice and welcoming guy, and really takes pride in what he does. We bought a bunch of bags and filled up our carry-on and flew home with it. Fast forward to 2 years later, we hare happy Coffee of the Month subscribers and look forward to getting Tim's coffee in the mail. We've gifted the subscription to our friends and family too, and everyone loves it. Perfect for the coffee lover in your life. I look forward to grinding up these beans and enjoying the most delicious French pressed coffee every morning. I feel so lucky we followed our curiosity that one day in Reno.

It would not be out of place in a three-Michelin-star dining room. He roasts every batch himself over a wood fire, feeding a beautiful old roaster with logs he chops by hand. His espresso blends are composed with a level of precision that feels almost synesthetic. Ask him what he is aiming for and he will describe the roast in shapes: how wide the base should be, whether it tapers or flares, how many sides the finished polygon has. I have stood there listening, fascinated, with no real idea what he is talking about, then tasted the cup and understood anyway. Important to know: this is not a coffee shop. There is no barista counter. It is a modest storefront and warehouse, and if you stop by you will likely see Tim at the roaster, stoking the fire. The aroma is arresting from the street. That wood fire imparts a signature note that sets his coffee apart. It does not turn smoky in the jerky sense. It reads as a gentle campfire thread running through the cup, adding warmth and dimension without heaviness. Since moving away from Reno I miss these beans enough that I cave and pay the shipping. If you order Priority Mail, the bags arrive right in the early sweet spot of their drinkability window, perfect for dialing in extraction. If you know your way around a grinder and an espresso machine, get these beans. Tim Curry is an amazing craftsman making world-class coffee, one hand-roasted batch at a time.

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.

The ambience in here is really incredible cozy and lots of seating as well. Also they do have a upstairs and I do like all the electrical outlets so you can actually charge and work out from here. . It is a really nice spot to get some ice espresso which I always love to get that and they also serve beloved Bakery items here like the best croissant in town in Reno so if you never tried but loved it Bakery you got to go give them a try. . Overall I am so glad I have discovered by that opens till 4:00 p.m. if I want to get a late afternoon coffee and it is a great spot to just relax and enjoy the AC. It is next to the theater so if you love watching a movie there is Cinemark next to it. Thanks for reading and hope this help and have a yelp-tastic day.

The two story building itself is gorgeous, it has massive floor to ceiling windows, a super modern industrial design, and tons of natural light and lush plants everywhere. It creates an airy vibe whether you are working from home, catching up with friends, or just hanging out. Upstairs is more seating along with the bathroom. They even have extended evening hours at this spot which is a huge plus since most local coffee shops close so early. The drinks are top tier. Their specialty and seasonal offerings are great. I ordered a vanilla latte and decided to add a vanilla spiced marshmallow to it. I originally thought it was just a flavored syrup, but the barista informed me that it is actually a real, physical marshmallow they put right in the cup. I am so glad I chose to do it because it was delicious and it actually lasted in my cup until I was completely done with my latte, so I got to eat it at the very end. The espresso itself is incredibly well crafted and you can tell they take pride in their house roasted beans. Another huge bonus is that they offer pastries from Beloved Bakery, which happens to be our absolute favorite bakery in town. Being able to grab one of their incredible, fresh baked goods alongside a perfect coffee completely elevates the whole experience. I wish they offered cloud tops for their coffee and a few more syrup flavors. The service is super friendly. Parking was located in a small lot as your drive past the building. There are garage spaces, but I think that is for the residence of all the surrounding apartments.
