Top Coffeehouses Around Reno / Tahoe

Java Jungle is one of downtown Reno's oldest independent coffee houses. It's next to the Truckee River and has an outdoor seating area for those nice days. Deli-type food is available inside. Next door is a partner business, Jungle Vino.

Dreamer's is another independent coffee emporium. It resides in the restored old Riverside Hotel next to the Truckee River. Weather permitting, they set up tables outside. This place is laid back, with couches to lounge around on while reading or sharing a cup of joe with friends. Local artists display their wares in rotating exhibits. The deli has good food. Bring your laptop for free WiFi.

Bibo is tucked back away from main streets, giving it a quiet, relaxed atmosphere. You can sit outside in a grassy area during those times of the year. I hear the place makes a mean (as in really good) espresso they call Monsoon Medley.
