PSL & Beyond - Coffee Shop Delights
Rising For People Coffee Co.
If you're looking for a good cause to go along with your cup of joe, look no further than Rising For People. This local coffee house and retailer focuses on sustainability and conservation with every bean they brew. And you can get in the fall spirit with Spooky Spirit or Stranger Things drink flights and try seasonal drinks like hojicha, milk chocolate, and cherry compote.
Roamer Coffee House
With two locations in Reno and Sparks, Roamer is serving up delicious coffees and snacks, no matter the season. However, their fall flavors are worth a visit. Try their classic pumpkin spice latte or get adventurous with a Cloud Nine marshmallow matcha or Banana Foster banana and caramel latte. Make it a meal by adding a fresh-baked pastry, quiche or a brie, fig and ham sandwich.
Pangolin Cafe
Perhaps one of MidTown's most charming cafes, Pangolin is known for their signature drinks, artisan Turkish Delight and English toffee. Sip on a classic PSL or try something original, like their Latte on the Cob, a latte with house-made cornbread syrup and maple whipped cream. Umm, yum! And be sure to keep the fall vibes high with some pumpkin spice toffee or a pomegranate pistachio delight.
Coffeebar Reno
Coffeebar is known for not only being one of the top-rated coffee shops in Reno but also a must-stop for serious fall enthusiasts. This year, Coffeebar's menu is packed with seasonal treats like their returning fan favorites, the pumpkin chai and caramel pumpkin latte made with pumpkin caramel locally made by Dorinda's Chocolates. Warm up with an autumn fog tea latte or harvest cider on the patio at their MidTown location on Mt. Rose Street, a great spot to take in the fall colors.
Drink Coffee Do Stuff
As a specialty coffee roaster, Drink Coffee Do Stuff is rolling out with seasonal favorites for everyone to enjoy. Stop by their two locations in North Lake Tahoe - Incline Village and Truckee, or hit up their newest location in South Reno - and fuel up on fall treats like the pumpkin pie latte or a new specialty, the spiced citrus mocha made with a house-made spiced simple syrup and a dash of chocolate.
Seasonal Desserts & Goodies
Rolled: Mountain Creamery
Rolled Mountain Creamery offers a seasonal flavor, Mexican Chocolate! This chocolate blend ice cream is mixed with cayenne pepper and cinnamon, and topped with a raspberry drizzle. Their two Reno locations ensure that no matter which side of town you're on, you can roll into fall with this sweet treat.
Black Rock Dessert
Known for their over-the-top and totally Instagrammable ice cream creations, Black Rock Dessert's October flavors are as spooky as they are delightful. Try their Cereal Chiller, loaded with your sweet morning favorites, or the Burn S'More, which will transport you to a cozy fireside and satisfy your sweet tooth.
Dorinda's Chocolates
Get a sugar rush with one of the many fall favorites available at Dorinda's Chocolates. Pick up a box of handcrafted pumpkin truffles made with real pumpkin. Smooth white chocolate pumpkin ganache in a milk chocolate shell? Decadent! Or, choose the traditional route with peppermint bark or peppermint meltaways.
Perenn Bakery
It's hard to leave Perenn Bakery without a sweet pastry (chocolate croissant, anyone??), but this fall you must try their seasonal Fiori cold brew infused with fresh orange peel and star anise, topped with a citrus, bergamot and vanilla bean cold foam. When you stop, be sure to ask about any limited-time pastry offerings that pair perfectly with any beverage you've ordered.
