This is my favorite espresso spot in all of Reno and I have been to all of them. The people are incredibly friendly and welcoming and non-pretentious. If you like good music and a warm environment and the great smell of waffles you have to come into Old World coffee lab.

I ordered a Vanilla Lavender Latte over 10 minutes ago paid in cash and gave a tip. Six people came in behind me…they have ALL been served and seem to be enjoying their coffees. I am completely disappointed and dissatisfied with this place. Wondering why? The girl who took my order looked straight at me a couple of times. ? I ’ll make sure to let others know how I was completely ignored/forgotten. If I could give negative stars I really would. I would rather be at one of the big corporations and be enjoying my coffee instead of here…trying to support local. I will find a better place to go. I did get a full refund including the tip…I guess there’s that.

Decent coffee, but... the guys were rude, sarcastic. When I asked for a menu, they picked up a board and set it down again. I confused this place a different coffee shop that has a better staff and I do regret that. Would have much rather spent my money elsewhere.

I visited a few times over the weekend while on vacation. I was initially slightly turned off sensing it was a sterile, hip place, but the barista was very friendly and the latte and cappuccino's were very, very good. We returned a few days in a row and were pleased each time. The baristas were very nice and responsive to all of our questions about the area, their on-site roasting, etc.

This play has been our fave coffee shop ever here in Reno , NV . They have excellent taste esp. the lattes that they have and have excellent barristas (I mostly know all of them ) . Kudos to alex , and DJ for making good coffee and other staffs as well! When we say it’s good coffee, it’s good! (Been going to diff coffee shops in diff states )

The nitro cold brew is good. The staff is friendly and the service is great.

The coffee is made as you order so you know it's fresh and it's roasted in house! I love the asthetic of this place. I definitely plan on going back again.

One of my favorite coffeeshops in the world - great beans, good vibes, and awesome branding doesn't hurt either :)

Perfect cappuccinos ? ☕ nice open atmosphere and interesting seasonal beverages!

Over-priced and rude to the real coffee drinkers who just want a thermos of black coffee. I paid over six bucks and they didn't even fill the thermos. I hate these snobby places who don't look out for the basic brew types.
