Sugar and Spice! The Yummiest Fall-Inspired Treats

Fall in Reno Tahoe is the gift that keeps on giving. Cozy sweaters and fall colors are the best way to celebrate the season, especially when paired with our flourishing coffee scene and variety of restaurants. So when it comes to pumpkin spice and everything nice, we’ve got you covered.

Walden’s Coffeehouse

With three locations in Reno, Walden’s Coffeehouse is truly the king of pumpkin spice. If you’re looking to get your fix, then this popular family-owned restaurant is the perfect place for you. Their seasonal menu includes all things pumpkin – from pumpkin oatmeal, pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin spice chais. They also serve breakfast and lunch ALL day. I think we can all get on board with that.

Coffeebar Reno

Coffeebar is known for not only being one of the top-rated coffee shops in Reno, but also serious fall enthusiasts. This year, Coffeebar is sporting a tasty traditional Mexican Mocha made with cocoa, espresso, cinnamon, and a dash of cayenne pepper with your choice of milk. Pair your beverage with the gluten-free, pumpkin-flavored donut bites to get a taste of fall. We can’t wait for more!

Rattlesnake Bistro

Fall flavors aren’t just for dessert.

Start your meal with the curried acorn squash soup or an appetizer such as their seared scallops with creamy cauliflower puree, fennel and leek.

Perenn Bakery

It’s hard to leave Perenn Bakery without a sweet pastry (chocolate croissant, anyone??), but this fall you must try their Oktoberfest Pretzel Croissant, available at their Rancharrah location. This savory delight is made with pork sausage, mustard, caramelized onions and grainy mustard. We’ve been told it pairs well with the Stiegl Gold Lager they also serve, but we’ll let you be the judge. And if you are craving something sweet, they have some tempting specials this season as well, such as the griddled banana bread and charred nectarine and burrata toast.
