The first coffee shop we reviewed after returning to California, ironically, was not in the golden state. On a weekend trip to Reno, Nev. for the annual Reno Air Races, Ashley and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to visit a shop on our coffee bucket list: Hub Coffee Roasters.
Although the roastery was not onsite, but rather down the street, this shop was impressive in itself. Tucked away on a quiet side street, this shop is nestled in a two-car garage and could be easily missed (in fact, it took some serious google mapping to find it). But, that would be a tragedy because this little spot was quite lovely.
Based around the theme of cycling, it was a hipster’s dream. This humble cafe possessed full brick walls and supported impressive framed photos, booth-like seating and a single espresso machine.
Ashley and I love these types of shops: welcoming, neighborhood friendly and just plain cool.
After ordering two small lattes, which wore latte art in their stamped paper cups, we walked away very happy addicts - I mean, well let’s face it, we are. The story of this adorable shop is one that touches the coffee lover’s soul.
The Hub Coffee Roasters is the dream of father and son caffeine addicts Mark and Joey Trujillo; a chance to introduce the biggest little city of Reno, Nevada to the third wave of coffee–the artisinal and culinary side of everyone’s favorite addiction! From our original coffeehouse located in Reno’s Midtown district, our presence in Reno has grown to include a roastery downtown and a new coffeehouse on Riverside drive.
We had the pleasure of visiting their original location on Cheney St. and if we find ourselves in the biggest little city again, we may feel inclined to visit the roastery as well. The lattes were delicious, the baristas were delightful and the shop was darling. ‘Nuff said.
