    I love this place for coffee! You can never go wrong with them! Ever since I got the Mocha Drogata, I can't stop ordering it. Plus, the barista did an excellent job with my latest order. Such a fun person to talk with and knows how to keep his customers happy. Always starts my day off well! I really like the atmosphere in this coffee shop! It was peaceful and the music is always on point. If you're in the northwest Reno area, think of them before you go to that other chain.

    Went here a few weeks ago for their anniversary celebration and it was awesome. We were able to try a bunch of the specialty lattes/ espresso tonic drinks from previous seasons and that was amazing.

    The drinks here are very good. It is a shame they only come in one size. The servers have been very good each time we've been there. The inside has several 4 top tables and many bar seats. The bar seating looked like it had outlets for charging phones, laptops and tablets.

    This is a beautiful place to come and enjoy a cup of coffee. They have the roaster right in front of you in the location, and you can even enjoy a delicious coffee alfresco. They could have elevated the service by making the coffee hot. It would have been nicer to have fresh pastries, but they were almost wiped out. The pastry was nice and flaky, but it could use a little more blueberries in it. They say they get their pastries from a vendor. I would like to come back, but this time I want my, very expensive latte, hot.

    Attended the Memorial Day weekend event and tried a few retired favorites in an iced flight format. Loved each flavor, but the cherry jubilee and cookie latte were especially delicious and I hope they bring them back in full sizes! Fun event with face painting and music, and a booth selling the shop's cool merch. Love the inside of the roastery, airy and spacious: would definitely stop by to chill with friends or even get some work done while enjoying delicious drinks.

    $10.25 for an iced vanilla almond milk latte? And that's not even with tip. I had been going to Old World for a long time, especially on Tuesday for the 2 for $25 bag of beans. The owner recently upped the price on the 2 for $25 bags of beans, which is fair enough, that was a hell of a deal. However, the prices here just keep going up. I get tariffs have made buying coffee beans more expensive and you need to adjust your prices. But now you're charging $10.25 for an alt milk latte with a half pump of flavoring? $1.75 for alternative milk? You are taking the piss Chris. What are you milking the almonds yourself? Congratulations, you now have the most expensive mediocre coffee in town. If you want great coffee for a better price, go to Chrome Coffee and Magpie Coffee Roasters. They are small business coffee shops that don't take advantage of the tariff prices and don't rob you for not being able to drink whole milk. Not to mention their coffee tastes way better.

    Sooo delicious and crafted to perfection. This isn't your average coffee shop. These lattes will have you wanting to come back for more! The peppermint bark latte was perfectly sweet and I loved the crushed candy cane. A tasteful touch. The old pine - I wasn't sure what to expect but it satisfied all! The brown sugar and rosemary was a perfect pair with just enough sweetness. Yum! The barista was so kind. There was only one person making coffees and he was focused while maintaining great service. The eating and enjoying area is very cool with the exposed roasting equipment and industrial feel. Plenty of indoor and outdoor tables and overall cozy atmosphere.

    Updating my review after coming back for the first time in about 2 years! The barista working when I came in was super friendly and helpful. I was torn between two of their specialty lattes and he gave me advice about what they taste like and which is better in his opinion. I went with the lemon pound cake latte based off his recommendation and was not disappointed! I've never had this flavor in coffee before and I loved it! Definitely tasted the lemon flavor as if it was actually a pound cake, not just artificial lemon juice flavoring. Subtle enough to get that flavor just right without being too sweet. I was a little disappointed to see they don't have liege waffles anymore, but they do have other breakfast options! I got a breakfast sandwich on a bagel and it was good, nothing outstanding but I just appreciated that they had some food options. My total was about $20 for the coffee and sandwich which wasn't bad. It was a chill atmosphere to hang out and get some work done as well. Looking forward to coming back to hang on the patio as it warms up!

    Loved this.

    I love trying out different coffee houses and this one has been on my list to try for a while now. it was early afternoon and a little busy but the guy working the bar area was super nice and polite. I told him what my usual was at the larger chain coffee place so he made me one similar to my caramel macchiato with oat milk. It tasted a lot smoother than the one I had been used to. I loved it right away. The parking lot has plenty of space to park and inside is busting with good energy. Very clean and friendly establishment. The only downfall was I wanted a hot coffee drink, and it only came in a 12 oz. I do love the way more coffee houses are offering more dairy free and plant-based choices. I will go back cause I did love the coffee and the good energy I felt inside. So if you are thinking of trying this place out, don't wait, you will enjoy it.

    In my opinion, OW has the best coffee (beans) in town. I often buy beans for my home brewed coffees and I never find the roasted flavour to be anything but perfect. Each time I have a latte or whatnot, it is the delicious coffee taste that stand out the most. The flavours of the lattes and mochas are usually fairly subtle but the coffee is solid so it's not an issue. I had the lemon cake mocha today and it was a perfect balance of lemon, sweetness, and coffee flavours. I wouldn't say the ambiance or service are wow wow but I usually get a friendly enough barista. Nothing terribly inviting about this particular location and the lattes only come in one size (12oz I believe) at around $5 and some change which is standard for a craft coffee but still adds up. Hence the 4 vs 5 stars.

    Small milk

    I was just charged $3.18 for a 8 oz of milk! I love the location down town and was really excited to come the the NW location but as really disappointed, the female was really nice but the others were not

    The vanilla lavender latte is my new favorite here! They offer some small bites, but I stopped in for a good coffee and a very much needed pick me up. Next time I'll make time to grab a bite. My only wish is that they had a location in Sparks. I will however make an excuse to stop in on my monthly rental property inspections. This coffee bar is beautiful and quiet! Perfect atmosphere to catch up on some reading or studying. The lighting was so great that I wanted to catch up on my books, but time is always an issue. Service was over the top! I didn't ask for his name, but loved his upbeat energy. I joined their rewards program by plugging in my cell number and can't wait to come back! I'm a sucker for a good cup of joe.

    Iced mocha Drogata with oat milk and cappuccino

    I love the convenience of Old World in the Northwest location! While it can get crowded some days, it's much easier to find parking in the private lot rather than on California Street at the Midtown location. My ride or die Old World drink will forever be an iced Mocha Drogata with oat milk and yes, it tastes exactly the same between both locations (we love consistency!). While this location isn't quite as spacious as the other, it's still a nice place to hang out either inside at the coffee bar or table or outside at the adorable patio. Definitely stop by this location if you're in the area and need a quick caffeine pick me up! Don't forget to check out their seasonal drinks menu as well!

This morning I got up early and drove out to the Mayberry landing location to be greeted again by the owner, Claudio and he introduced me to his daughter Melissa, she is the baker in the family! The Caffe is well decorated and easy access from the parking lot! They have indoor and outdoor sitting. As you walk in to order there are two beautiful cases of deserts and breakfast/lunch items. Also a menu to order from such as breakfast sandwiches, I ordered the Ham, Cheese, Egg croissant for my husband. He couldn't believe how big it was. He is saving half for tomorrow. Same with my chocolate croissant I had Melissa cut it in half to enjoy on Mother's Day it was absolutely delicious. I had to sneak a bite before I left the café before I drove home. I just could not wait. Also I got a lemon torte for later. All the food looks scrumptious and if you're looking for an authentic Italian bakery look no further this is the place for you!

    Beautiful decor. Really nice people. Cute area. Gives a really nice neighborhood vibe…read more But I just didn't like the food. The sandwich bread and ingredients just didn't taste fresh. The pastries I had tasted like it was made a while ago. Maybe I'm expecting too much, but given the other reviews I just expected a lot more. Really want to love this place, but sadly don't.

It always seems like the parking lot is pretty full, but plenty of places still to sit inside. The ham frittata is a surprisingly delicious way to start the day with one of their broad range of tea and coffee drinks. I had a seasonal rosemary matcha, and the hint of spice and rosemary sugar on top was delicious. And if you get the pizza, it's way beyond what you'd expect from a coffee shop. It's pretty much hands-down best crust I've had around here: thin in the middle but not soggy, and just the right amount of crunchy, chewy dough in the crust. I was amazed until I recently realized these are pizzas from Doppo (same ownership). Just know you have to order a bit early if you want to get them for dinner. Shop closes at 6 and I think pizzas have to be ordered by 5:30 at the latest. Definitely a go-to spot for drinks, light bites, and a comfortable sit-down experience. TIP: Save by ordering on the app and/or bringing your own drinkware!

I'd give more stars if I could, because they nail everything: service, flavors, atmosphere, and more. Their menu is full of flavorful crafted drinks (I always get something basic, like a Gibraltar, and they do it absolutely perfectly every time), and the coffee they use is a cut above--rich, slightly chocolatey/hazelnutty, great on its own and especially with milk. Really nice tea selection as well, and they brew it thoughtfully, waiting for it to steep and removing the bag before serving. And you would never guess it, but their pizza is also the best pizza we've had yet in Reno. On top of this, the interior and exterior are really warm and inviting. They've got Bob Ross running full-time on a TV and the vibe is really cool, with some Batman-looking motorcycle hanging from the ceiling and some cool hifi equipment as decor, in addition to plants and ample seating inside and out. Love this place.
