    Such a cute coffee shop with delicious drinks and food. The employees are kind and the energy feels right. Definitely a must try!

    Been wanting to come here since they moved over here! These coffee flights are pretty cool and the coffee is amazing! Love the vibe of the place, very cool. Had a pistachio cinnamon roll, very flavorful. Very friendly staff! Can't wait to come back and try more flights and baked goods!

    I was first introduced to Rising when it was located on the south side of Reno. Last year Skylar moved a few blocks from my house. This is going to be dangerous. Besides being in walking distance from my house, the new location is much larger than the old shared space down south. I find it more inviting too. A small patio out front when weather is good. There are board menus on the wall, paper menus on the counter or digital on the computer you can order from. Rising isn't a regular coffee shop. It's the spot indecisive people go. Skylar creates so many unique coffee options. So she offers a variety of coffee flights. She usually has several themed options. I highly recommend many visits and even more flights to taste all the coffees she offers. Also in her new space, she has her own kitchen offering a great selection of sweet and savory breakfast foods and treats. Some are even specifically paired with a coffee creation. My latest visit I enjoyed the chocolate overload- a rich chocolate mocha and a richer dark chocolate brownie. Mmmm I walk. There's street parking out front.

    Absolutely what a gem of a place! I have frequented here for the coffee flights and occasionally a to-go cup of coffee. Their flavors are always insane and choosing through the menu gives me anxiety in the best way! All the flavor options and additions is a coffee or matcha lovers dream! Ordering with someone or on the tablet is a great addition if you want more help or to look at photos. The baristas are kind and bring out your drinks quickly. The shop was packed but clean and had an amazingly well layer out space. They hung flowers from the ceiling and made the space adorable for all!

    This is the kind of place that just makes you smile! The decor, the uplifting phrases scattered all throughout and the staff make this very welcoming to all. The pastry's being made daily were also a lovely treat, they're packed full of flavor and pair perfectly with the drink of choice. We got a create your own coffee flight with a lucky charms cold brew, Carmel Apple matcha, honeybun latte and a regular hot chocolate. Talk about flavor bombs each packed with flavor. It was the perfect opportunity to try a lot of options without committing to a full size drink.

    Baristas were very friendly and more than willing to walk you through their menu. I ordered a pistachio latte with oatmilk. Latte was on the nuttier side, not that sweet. Still got a good amount of ice despite ordering light ice. Definitely a brunchy vibe with various flights (from coffee to toast flights). Slightly on the pricier side which makes sense for being in midtown.

    This is an amazing cafe place! Their menu is very extensive; with so many choices for both drink and food. I definitely want to come back and try some more! It's really cool, they even have pairings offered together that match together well. It can be super packed but service is fast and friendly! I love the decor, they have really lovely murals.

    Rising for People Coffee has added some exciting new food flights to their menu including the toast flight, skillet flight, waffle flight and French toast flight. We had the toast and waffle flight and they were both delicious. The Bridgerton coffee flight was also so good. Love this coffee shop!

    Seating area

    Great new coffee shop! Super stylish, warm and inviting. Nice seating options and great light. I keep wondering when Reno will hit a saturation point of coffee shops...but this one is a gem on a block that has a lot of new growth. I'm most excited about the gluten-free options they have for food - GF bread for the toasts and GF pastries. The salmon toast was delicious with the GF bread. Also lots of non-dairy options. Easy to park on Vesta versus Holcomb

    First I do love this place. The drinks taste very good and are very nicely decorated. I got the Bridgerton coffe flight. I ordered it hot and all my drinks came cold. They were still delicious. The service was friendly.

    Woman & veteran owned business
    Melissa L.

    I came across this place online and decided to give it a try. Outside the storefront, I really appreciated the sign highlighting that it's woman and veteran owned which was a nice touch. That said, the prices felt quite high for what you get. I ordered the blueberry pie matcha latte, which was $9 on its own, and the cup was tiny. The campfire hojicha was similarly priced and not worth. If you're ordering to go, there's also an additional charge for the plastic cup, which was surprising, especially compared to other coffee shops that don't do this. I'm visiting from Los Angeles and even there I don't pay this much for coffee or matcha. Unfortunately, the drinks themselves tasted just okay for the price. Ordering is done through a self-service kiosk, which does offer a more expanded menu, but overall the drinks and experience didn't quite match the cost.

    Super friendly service and owner! The decor is super cute and bright on the inside Free street parking all around- there are some spots with time limits so just check for any signs. They have a big menu a of drinks and food items. I really liked the matcha flight as it allowed me to try smaller samples of their matcha drinks- such a really fun way to do and can try so many options without committing to the bigger sizes

    Veggie ceviche
    Breanne C.

    My friend and I came here for our first time this week and tried a drink flight, veggie wrap, and the ceviche! All of it was delicious, fresh, healthy and looove the flight idea! Can't wait to come back and try other flavors. My first time trying matcha and was pleasantly surprised. They also have a toast flight with some fun combos that I can't wait to come back and get! I think of all the fun date ideas... with my daughter, friends, and nieces where you not only get some fun one on one time but have an experience while tasting new flavor combos. I'm all about "experiences" together over "stuff". The servers were lovely. They even went above and beyond to help us and when the ceviche took a little longer then normal they were very friendly and apologetic about it. Totally worth it. Cute ambiance, fresh, clean and well put together. Definitely go give them a try!

Everything is lavender and purple, which happens to be my favorite color, so it already feels like home. I always order the same thing: an Americano with oat milk. It's smooth, rich, and never bitter, and the oat milk makes it perfectly creamy without feeling heavy. They make it right every single time. And I have to give a special shoutout to Sara. She is so sweet and always remembers my order, which makes it feel even more personal and welcoming. That kind of consistency and kindness really stands out. The vibe here is everything. The music is great, the energy is warm, and it's such a peaceful place to sit, think, journal, or meet up with someone. It's clean, beautifully designed, and you can tell they truly care about the experience. The Laughing Cat has become one of my favorite little rituals in Reno, and I'm so grateful to have a spot like this in our community.

She loves coffee and I wanted to take her to a new to us place.. i didnt realize laughing cat was a few minutes down the road from us till I saw a video from a local food reviewer who had gone there after they were broken into and robbed.. so i knew we had to go and try their coffee and support them. First of all their logo is super cute and I love all the purple..my favorite color..lol.. the first thing you see when you walk in is the purple food truck painted on the wall around the window you order at and then the big wall on the right of the door where people have signed it when visiting. We walked up to the window and were greeted nicely by 2 staff members.. they explained their seasonal drink and answered any questions we had..they were both so nice. I got a warm chai with regular milk. Temp was good but it did lack flavor. I could barely taste anything like the Chai or cinnamon. My fiancee got their seasonal drink. It was a spin on Dubai chocolate but made with white chocolate. My fiancee LOVED it! I tried it too and it was pretty good. Im just happy she liked it. Cute place with good vibes and friendly staff. We will be coming back and I will be trying the chai again.

    What a major local gem in Reno. It only took one visit for…read moreme to become a fan of this coffee shop/bar in Midtown. You can tell that a lot of thought and heart went into the place. The decor, the entertainment, the products all struck a chord with me. On one side - a super cute pour over/loose leaf tea shop with some records for sale. On the other - a cute bar and lounge area equipped with a vinyl player (Bring one in on a Monday for them to play). You have some house pants, checkered floors, and cool vinyl covers all over the walls that make for some great & hip atmosphere and vibes. Their restrooms, though small, and clean and cool. Their pour overs are so flavorful, strong, and made with beans grounded on your visit. I love that they're flavored and sweetened in a way that allows the coffee to shine. If you're into sweeter drinks, ask for a bit more sweetner or add in a brown raw sugar packet yourself from the straw station. I hear their chocolate pour over is a hit. Matchas - prepared in a similar fashion. Slightly sweetned with subtle flavorings. I tried their carrot cake matcha today and really enjoyed the housemade syrup they used to flavor it with. I also love that they offer loose leaf teas. Their chai was nice, fragrant and great with a little sweetner and milk. Shelby over at the bar area was sooo patient with explaining their menu and suggested a isla bonita pineapple shrub drink for a non alcoholic option. Similar to their other drinks on the coffee side, it was tamed in sugar yet still fun and flavorful. I really enjoyed the tang from the apple cider and the spice from the tajin chili powder as a contrasting flavor. Double check their website for bar and coffee shop hours as they differ from one another. And follow them on Instagram for updates on seasonal specials & themed gatherings. A lot of cool local DJs spin here for special events and parties during the holidays. Tip: sit next to the pour over station next to the menu. It's so entertaining, especially with Sydney working the station (thanks so much for the chat and entertainment. Honestly one of the friendliest baristas I've ever met in Reno). Both bars are set up in a way that allows for meeting others and socializing. Check it out. It's a good time. Notes *Catch live jazz music on Wednesdays here for free. *free street & neighborhood parking *bagels & cream cheese available at the coffee shop *they have fun with their seasonal drink specials. I dig it.
