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.
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.

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