This used to be the old Pola Poke I believe and luckily they do still have poke! They've just expanded and included some breakfast items and salads. We had the bagel and schmear as well as the breakfast sandi. For sandwiches, these were very filling! We ate these around 1pm and we were still full around 7pm! They were pretty good too, very thick and had ample amount of sauce. I would give this place more of a 3.5 because the breakfast stuff is served until a certain time. And while they have expanded their menu, their options are still a bit limited. Still a great quick brunch spot though!
We stopped Lillo Eatery for brunch with the family and had such a great experience. We ordered the za'taar bagel with miso scallion cream cheese, a mochi waffle, a breakfast sandwich, and iced lattes. The za'taar bagel caught my attention since it's not a flavor I've seen before, and it didn't disappoint. It was savory, aromatic, and perfectly balanced with the creamy miso scallion spread. I love places that get creative with their cream cheese options, and this one really stood out. The mochi waffle was another highlight. It was perfectly light and crisp outside, and soft and chewy on the inside, served with fresh fruit. The space itself is bright and airy, with tall ceilings and a relaxed vibe, plus a spacious patio that's perfect for a casual morning. It's such a charming spot for breakfast or brunch. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.
Looking for a bite for breakfast and remembered that I had been wanting to visit Lillo in NW Reno. Love the interior of this restaurant-spacious, bright, clean and very welcoming. They also have a very nice patio space. We had the mochi waffle and bagel and lox. Salmon was fresh and bagel was prepared well. I love capers and was so glad they added a generous portion. The mochi waffle was delicious-light and sweet. You could just eat it by itself it was that good, but why would you want to when you have delicious ube whipped cream and ripe berries? Very good meal and we will be returning.
Came by this weekend and was devastated to see that this is closed. Best wishes to the owners on their next adventure!
My friends and I were out on an early morning hike that was a bit too cold, and we were in need of great brunch and coffee. Happy that we chose to come here. Ordered an avocado toast, mochi waffle and Vacation poke (great name!), and it was all delicious. Coffee served in big mugs were fresh, strong and great. Fresh food that gave us good energy boost but didn't weigh us down... yeah! The service is wonderful too, and outside patio is just comfortable and lovely. Will definitely be back! Very soon!
Small cute dinning area. They also have outside seating for warmer weather. I went in with my son after many suggestions to come here. We ordered the mochi waffle to share. It was good but nothing special. My son ordered a poke bowl. He enjoyed it. Everything was fresh. I ordered a salt bagel with their garlic scallion black pepper cream cheese, it was delicious. I wanted to try the kimchi fried rice but they were out. The service was ok. They didn't greet us as we walked in. If I didn't know it was self seating and that you would have to order at the front I would have just sat there because no one says anything. I ordered my food and asked for water. The cashier said ok but never gave me water. Turns out that is self serve I had to figure that out myself as well. We were one of two tables so they weren't busy. I will come back to try other bagels. Hopefully service will be better.
Just wow - where has this place been all my life?!? We were absolutely blown away by the selection and are going to have to go back to try all the things we missed! We came in around 10:30 on a Saturday and the staff were all friendly and attentive. It wasn't too busy at all. The restaurant is clean and while the parking lot can be tight with other businesses open, there was plenty of parking. We had the mochi waffle which was delicious though I would not recommend to anyone who doesn't like the taste of powdered sugar. The lox bagel did have a poke twist with strong dill flavoring but it was the best bagel and lox I've had! We came back the next weekend to have it again + the breakfast sandwich. We bought some bagels to take home and were looking forward to enjoying the food all over again! We opted for the miso and scallion cream cheese and it did not disappoint!
Came here from school pickup with my son. Cute little place, lots of sunlight and foliage inside. I tried the avocado toast bagel with a side of bacon. The avocado toast was packed with avocado but the bagel itself being chewy and it being open faced made it really messy and difficult to eat. I needed loads of napkins. The flavor is good, I enjoyed the pickled onions. The breakfast sandwich my son ordered is your typical breakfast sando that they added kale to. It was good, didn't make me jump out of seat or anything but he enjoyed it. Overall we had a good first experience:)
Bagels for breakfast are not my thing but I have to say the bagel flavor choices here are just fantastic. We had the Zatar bagel and I would love to come back for their Miso-Charred Scallion Schmear. We also shared their Shakshuka which was spiced appropriately and the eggs were cooked perfectly. Their patio seating area was a great place for our romantic breakfast date but sitting inside would also be very comfortable is it is nice in there as well. The staff were very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions that we had and our food came out hot and fast. We look forward to trying more of their menu.
I am so glad to see another cafe in the area! I used to stop here many years ago when it was a cafe of a different name, Lillo's is better! My husband and I had a beautiful breakfast together on their patio. We split the Shakshuka and and a Zatar Bagel and Lox both of which were just lovely. Neither of us are much for standard breakfast fair so this was just so refreshing! Topped off with a latte and hot tea this was a lovely morning. Everyone there was also so kind and helpful. They patiently answered all of my bagel questions! This is a winner of a joint that I can't wait to return to!
So good! I came in because I heard they just recently opened up and had to stop in to try it! The first thing I noticed were the freshly made bagels! I love avocado toast and they had it on the menu so I had to order it! The garlic bagel was so good and the toppings were so delicious, it was perfect! I plan to go back to try their other items! The service was great! The ladies behind the counter were so pleasant and so inviting. They explained how the bagels are made fresh every morning, which comes from Off Center Bagels! The restaurant was so cute and comforting! I highly recommend stopping by!
Run to this place immediately! It's been a few days, but I am still obsessing over the items we tried. Also the service was phenomenal! Everything looked and sounded so good but we couldn't decide. The friendly staff walked us through everything since it was our first time and let us know what their favorite things were. To start I chose the Za'atar bagel with Miso- Scallion Smear. The flavors together were unbelievably good! Nothing like I've ever had before that's for sure. The complimentary strawberry water was also very nice and refreshing. Something I'll definitely be making for myself at home along with a few mint leaves. They have a cute outdoor patio area that provides plenty of shade and they are dog friendly! The last thing we tried was the Mochi waffle with Ube whipped cream and berries. I cannot begin to describe how sensational every single bite was. This may be overrated but honestly, chef's kiss. I was blown away by the texture and flavors of the waffle. It is an absolute must try! I can't wait to go back. I'm so excited to know that this little gem exists and is so close by.
Love the outdoor seating. Wish they posted menus around and not just by the cash register. Luckily it was before 11:30 AM, so we could still order the mochi waffle and shakshuka. The mochi waffle wasn't as chewy as mochi usually is. It was a bit dry too. But the Ube cream was delicious. The shakshuka almost tasted like chili but without the meat. Bread was good.

Decided to try out this new-to-me eatery, and it did not disappoint. Truly, the vibes of this cozy restaurant is sure to welcome you in and draw you to stay and hang out with friends, especially on a nice day, you can sit outside in their patio! It's a quick, sit-down service, so it's speedy, efficient, and you can get on with eating and good times with company. Ordered was Gina's Kale Salad, which was refreshing and delicious. It certainly was a good healthy bowl that was filling. Additionally, the Elote bowl was good, however, more flavor and spice would be nice, but otherwise, it was a great stop-in! Can't wait to try more of their dishes! read more
I heard from a friend that this place is really good and we all met to catch up. When entering, they have the register and tables to the side. The tables are big enough for large groups. People say their bagels are amazing so we had to try. We ordered the following: - Breakfast Sando: The bagel was chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The egg was fluffy. Not a fan of kale, but it was surprisingly good. - Mochi Waffle: I love the chewy texture! It was a lot larger than I expected so I couldn't finished it all. The ube whipping was delicious and not too sweet. We got numbers at our table after paying and once the food is ready, they serve it to your table. This is a good place to order food and hang out/chat. There is seating outside as well. read more

Great spot for casual dining meet ups. Order at the register and food is delivered to you. Grab your own flatware and bus your own table. Hubby and I went for breakfast and our food was delicious - especially the Frittata Sando (a breakfast special item) which I remembered to snap a photo of to post. I noticed the outdoor patio - will have to come by in warmer weather with our pup! read more

Service: Excellent Bagels: great Lox: mid Coffee: trash Wish I could write a better review about a cafe with a lot of potential. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, maybe not. I wish the lox were higher quality specifically for the price. And the coffee was sour with not great foam, they're not known for the coffee, and I see why. They have a great outdoor space to hang with a big crowd or a table for two. Maybe I caught them on a bad day read more
Perfect Sunday morning coffee and bagel spot! Plenty of indoor seating amongst the well-taken care of greenery and outdoor patio seating with both sunny and shady spots. Tried 3 bagels, loved the Za'atar with the jalapeño cream cheese and would definitely get it again but maybe toasted next time. The matcha was good and is offered sweetened and unsweetened which I appreciate. The cardamom snickerdoodle didn't have much spice to it but the texture was soft and chewy so I wasn't disappointed. Will definitely be back to try their interesting mocktail selection and also the poke and salads! read more

Food was pretty fantastic. Ordered a bagel and lox on a salt bagel on a Friday at 11:30AM. I am more of an everything bagel person and salt was all they had - maybe get here earlier if you don't like salt bagels? The salmon was delicious. The flavor balanced. Hate the location but would certainly come back for another bagel and lox when I have a craving. $18 before tip which isn't the worst and fairly standard, I feel, for the quality and the economy at this time. It's now 12PM on a Friday. It's very comfortable, quaint, and quiet. Nice place. read more

Absolutely amazing!!! Came here on the recommendation of a friend who called it "the hot new place" and since I live under a rock, I went fully in! And she was right on. It was excellent. It was the best breakfast sandwich I've had in a long time. I had mine on the za'atar bagel, my friend had hers on the everything bagel and the other ordered the avocado toast. Everyone was happy. Our coffees were also all delicious. We also had the pleasure of talking to the owner and being served by her and another staff member and both were so kind and welcoming. We got to talk about the business, the bagels and their social media. We felt very welcomed! We thoroughly enjoyed Reno's spring morning on their patio and are looking forward to coming back and next time bringing home bagels! If you're in the area, you should try it! I hope to come back for lunch next time! Great job Lillo Eatery! Wishing you long term success! read more

Such a cute little brunch spot in town! My sister and I went here for brunch on a snowy day. Upon entering, we were greeted warmly by the cashier and she introduced us to the menu. The atmosphere is cozy and I would say on the smaller end. There were customers consistently coming in and out throughout the morning. We ended up ordering the mochi waffle, breakfast sandi, and elote bowl. The breakfast sandi was both of our personal favorite - it was delicious and we would get in again! The sauce on the bagel was amazing. The elote bowl was delicious as well; you can tell they use fresh ingredients in their dishes. Lastly the mochi waffle was one we personally wouldn't get again. The waffle is served with ube whipped cream but the ube flavor wasn't prominent, it just tasted like whipped cream. Additionally, the mochi waffle was a bit tough to eat. We also got the Strawberry Basil Rita which was refreshing. I personally wouldn't get it again. The biggest takeaway from this establishment was how great their customer service is. The staff was extremely friendly and checked on us throughout the meal. Overall, I recommend coming to this place! read more

We have been back a few times now, trying new stuff every chance we get. We have yet to find anything we don't love. Today we had the avocado toast, breakfast sandi, and bagel and lox. It was a win, win, and WIN! For starters, the bagels are delicious. And that was the base of each of these items. The avocado toast (plain bagel - yes, we are boring) was a fresh change up from the usual. The bagel is reason #1. Beyond that, there are the fresh cherry tomatoes QUARTERED, so they're not sliding all over and out of the grip of your teeth. You can add bacon & and egg, to up the fill value, which we did last week, and do not regret! They add cilantro lime crema (OMG - I could drink it!) and their DELICIOUS pickled onions. The breakfast sandi was equally as delicious, with the addition of cooked kale (appreciate that!) and chipotle mayo - also delicious!! Last but not least - the bagel and lox. Listen - I NEVER order this because I do not enjoy smoked anything, especially not fish. But they use their house cured gravlax (salt cured salmon). They put it on a bagel of your choosing, add a generous schmear of your choosing as well, then gravlax, then nice sized capers and those infamous picked onions. Damn it if I'm not a changed woman! This item was not my order, but I took the obligatory 'no thank you' bite, and I'm so glad I did. I will 100% order that for myself. We also enjoyed a chai latte and vanilla latte, while we waited for the to go order. Both delicious. Don't skip this place. It's spectacular. read more

10/10 Reno bagel shop. They have a wide selection of bagels & cream cheeses, all of them delicious and fresh! They also have an impressively delicious in-house lox, which is credible due to the fact this is also a POKE SHOP! read more

I read that the patio is dog friendly but would I be able to bring my dog inside to order and then immediately go outside to wait/eat? It's okay if the answer is no! Just want to check before I do anything :)
Hi Jessica! I depends on how busy we are. If you come in on a weekday afternoon you’d be fine to order inside, but a weekend before 1 is pretty busy and might be a little too…
