Darkshot Coffee
300 E 2nd St, Reno, NV
Crema's Take
“Tucked into a quiet office building near the Aces Stadium, this espresso-focused gem stands out for hand-packed shots that locals rave about as some of Reno's finest, paired with creative seasonal drinks like lavender and vanilla cappuccinos. The owner and staff genuinely care about their craft and their customers, making it feel like a true third place where you can linger with your pour over, bring your dog, and actually get real brewed coffee—not the mass-produced stuff dominating the city. It's the kind of neighborhood discovery that makes you skip the chains entirely.”

very happy with my drink, i recommend a cappuccino hot with lavender and vanilla syrup. perfect taste. awesome staff, also has some useful goods like benadryl or 5 hour energy if u need it!
Sweet little shop tucked away in an office building. We stayed across from the Aces Stadium and discovered this local spot right there. We would much rather enjoy a local coffee shop than a big chain. Good coffee and very friendly service. I bought some pretty cards from a local artist, too.
Please patronize this outstanding shop! Wonderful owner and cashier/server. One of the only places in Reno with actual brewed coffee! Fourth place I went looking. Other "coffee" shops are pouring hot water in espresso. I'm in Reno, not Paris. Oh, it tastes great, too.
Coffee and food are both fantastic, could not have asked for better. The espresso is hand packed and is some of the best I've had in Reno. As an added bonus they appear to be dog friendly. Our German Shepherd got some treats. Will be a regular customer!
April 2024: Stopped by for a cup of coffee and tried the medium roast. Notes were balanced. Service was friendly and fast. Would definitely come back again.
