Comma Coffee

After finishing the Kit Carson Trail and exploring the many historic homes and landmarks, we happened upon this charming coffee shop and restaurant. The ambience is unique and fun—definitely not your typical coffee stop. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which added to the overall pleasant experience. We arrived close to closing time, so some of the food had been sitting out for a bit, but even so, it was still quite good. We’d like to come back earlier in the day to try everything at its freshest. Overall, a nice surprise and a spot we’d happily return to.

Comma Coffee in Carson City is an absolute gem. The moment you walk in, the eclectic, artsy décor gives the place real character — warm, creative, and instantly inviting. It feels like a space made for people who actually enjoy being there. I ordered June’s Benediction — an open-faced English muffin with pesto, spinach, onion, cilantro, avocado, and two sunny-side-up eggs — and added ham. It was hands-down one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in a long time. Every bite was balanced, fresh, rich, and perfectly executed. The flavors worked together beautifully instead of competing, which is rare. The service was just as impressive — friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without feeling forced. Comma Coffee isn’t just a coffee stop — it’s an experience. If you’re in Carson City and skip this place, you’re doing yourself a disservice. Five stars without hesitation.

Needed coffee & wanted to support a local shop! Comma Coffee had a cool outside window that you could order from. I had their special coffee of the day- Pistachio Latte ☕️ It was awesome, not too sweet! My husband had a regular coffee & thought it was brewed well! We Loved that there was outside seating too- lots of people out with their dogs strolling the main drag! People working were really friendly too💖

This is such a great coffee shop- the decor was fantastic and the food & coffee even better. This small business has much better quality food and coffee than any of the chains nearby. I'll be back anytime I'm in the area

Waitress was too busy on her cell phone with her coworker Never came back for order or password to use wifi. Worst service ever You don't go to work to play on your cell phones You are there to work No idea how food was Relaxed atmosphere No one wants one you when you look at menu Have to tell them then or no service. 30 mins and no service is ridiculous

Comma Coffee is a charming and cozy café in Carson City that blends history, art, and good vibes into one delightful package. Stepping into the space feels like entering a whimsical time capsule, with eclectic decor that ranges from vintage furniture to quirky art pieces adorning the walls. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it an ideal spot for catching up with friends, getting some work done, or simply enjoying a moment of solitude.

This is our new favorite coffee house!! The ambiance is unique. You could sit in Comma Coffee and not see everything hanging from the walls and the ceiling in an hour. My favorite is the piano playing skeleton. A delicious chocolate raspberry muffin. So moist! Wonderful custom coffees! The best service!! There is also a lovely outdoor dining area. Comma Coffee is the place to go in the Carson Valley!

WOW! The decor, the atmosphere of this place is unique! I would recommend to visit it just because of the idea of the interior! It’s so cozy and so comfortable and so unusual! The food was also good! We ordered baked potato with toppings, waffles and hot apple ciders.

Super cozy coffee shop with plenty of seating. There's a couch in the back and a large table that can seat big groups. They offer super large coffee cups too! Entire place is so well decorated and lovely to look at.

This is one of my favorite chill Carson breakfast. They make delicious cold press juice... the sandwiches are yummy (and served quick) . I love to have coffee here as well. They serve coffee in their unique owl mugs and give you enough to enjoy . The place is unique and fun, the employees there are nice & attentive. The place feels warm and relaxed.

Awesome place to grab a coffee or quick lunch! The vibe is pretty unique, I was able to find something interesting pretty much every time when I go there. The service has always been good. Great location, easy to find.

Very nice ambiance but very rude customer service and terrible matcha and chai. Will not recommend or be returning.

First time here-what an adorable coffee shop! The interior is charming and eclectic and loved the menu selections. They have a large choice of fresh squeezed juice-the carrot apple ginger one was so good. There was a singer that was performing some of my favorite oldies-so fun while having brunch. I had the east coast bagel and lox-salmon was fresh and I chose an onion bagel which really added to the flavor and I would definitely order again. Service was excellent. All the staff were so nice and friendly. This one's a winner and worth the short drive from Reno to Carson City

Very nice place to grab a bite to eat and enjoy live music performances by local musicians. The menu and bakery racks were filled with yummy choices. We ordered omelets which are cooked by steam versus on a grill. I have never seen or heard of that method before, but the result was fantastic! The service was decent for a busy restaurant and the decor eclectic. I would definitely make the drive back over to eat here again.

If you want a good cuppa in an interesting experience, I recommend Comma Coffee. I might go there tomorrow.

The physical space is awesome. So much character, I'd love to make this my consistent hangout if I lived in Carson. Friendly staff and excellent service. my only advice is to stick to the menu. Storytime: We stopped at Comma Coffee before a ski trip to Mammoth Mountain, the behemoth of the West. Some friends met us at the coffee shop and they are from rural San Francisco (no hate against San Francisco, but this becomes important). Everyone had ordered something nice and was enjoying their food, but one person didn't get theirs yet. After a bit, the final dish came out and it was "interesting." Avocado toast, our friend explained that it wasn't on the menu, but she decided to order it anyway, for some insane reason. She gave the cook directions on how to make it, and there it was. A sliced tomato on top of smashed avocados with bread underneath and I guess some salad dressing was in there too, I really don't know. Everyone took turns trying a bite, and I can honestly say they sure tried to follow the girl's instructions. so let this be a lesson to all you travelers, making your way through humble Carson City, just order what's on the menu. Out of 3 people from Reno, 2 from San Francisco, and one loan Winnemuccan; can you take a guess who ordered the "avocado toast?" That's right it was the Winnemuccan!

Recommend! Recommend! Recommend! So first this is such a great place to come take a rest and enjoy your morning or afternoon tea or coffee and grab a bite . As soon as you walk through the door it shoots back in time from the ceiling to the decor. The nostalgia is crazy cool vibes here! Loved the lattes we got along with the breakfast sandwich's !

This is a really cool place to hang out, remote work, and have coffee and lunch. The iced vanilla coffee is strong and delicious. The little lady offered me iced water. As you can see from my pics. It is worth a visit and a try of their sandwiches and beverages. I had the ultimate creation sandwich.

Stopped for breakfast here on my way to Mammoth Mountain. So glad I did!!! Absolutely fabulous June's Benediction. Will be having breakfast here on my way home to experience something else on their menu.

Food and coffee is excellent, but service was unusually bad today. This has been one of my favorite stops for some years, service and vibe has always been questionable, not sure how much worse it could get before I call it quits. Why would someone in the customer service industry think this is OK?

Love the rosemary bagel with lox, east coast west cost or a bit of both. My hub said the latte was really good. My first time in I was surprised on how big it actually is. The aesthetic is my favorite, the fun pictures, artwork and skeletons. I love picking a new comfy chair to sit in every time I go. Every time I've gone in I've had great service. It's a perfect place to meet up with friends. I'm starting to bring everyone who visits me here.

Yes, Comma Coffee is closed by the order of the Health Dept. The report looked pretty bad, so it might be awhile before they can open if at all. Last I was there, I did notice a cat roaming about, didn't think too much of it, not knowing it was against the health code at the time. https://carsonnow.org/story/01/24/2023/comma-coffee-shut-health-department-reports-severe-mice-infestation-no-hand-washing Comma Coffee has been in Carson for over 22 years. It was the first business I came to when I moved here 22 years ago, sadly it was not very good back then, like I waited 1/2 hr just to have a sandwich made, and I was starving at the time. Interesting to see how this health inspection plays out, if they can open again. I used to come here to read the actual "newspaper" ... remember those?

Came across this coffee shop by chance. The service was so wholesome, they definitely took their time but that wasn't an issue because you can enjoy the company you're with or just enjoy the ambiance. All the baked goods are homemade and DELICIOUS! The food was great too! We got the June Benediction and another build your own bagel plate. Definitely a wholesome and communal experience

The coffee and food is so good, we had to come back one more time before we left town! The ladies are so friendly and attentive. Tara bakes all of the deserts, and they are impossible to pass up! This is the cutest coffee shop I've ever visited. It felt like being in someone's home. The vibe was beautiful and the history of the building is fascinating. Thank you Jen, Tara, and everyone else who made this experience so lovely!

I had been dying to visit this coffee place for so long! I finally had time to go and boy was I disappointed. The atmosphere is eclectic and I loved that. But the variety of coffee is non-existent. I was surprised they didn't have more specialty coffee drinks to choose from. Secondly, the service was lacking badly. I was t greeted when I walked in and there wasn't anyone at the counter waiting. The 3 workers were behind the counter and one was training another gal. I finally got their attention and ordered my $7 drink. I asked if I could get it to go because I was on my lunch break and they said sure. However, they took another person's order who they mentioned was a frequent customer and began making his. Still, I waited. Then, the one trainer decided to show the other gal how to make a pot of coffee and still didn't make mine. I was waiting for 10 minutes before she even made my drink. I got a praline flavored coffee and it was super sweet and couldn't even taste the coffee in it. I told others about this experience and everyone has told me this place has really gone down hill. Bummer because it's close to my work.

A quiet but interesting cafe. Comma Coffee is in downtown Carson City. It has a simple menu with healthy items. Good place for someone who eats healthier and likes fun independent businesses. This is close to many casinos and hotels so it's convenient for travelers with the only problem being paying for parking, which if you're close you have to but if you park further away it's actually free. If you like quirky coffee shops, you'll for sure like coming here. It's a good place for sipping, eating light, or just hanging out. They have plenty of coffee and tea. A latte can be made with non dairy milk. It's about $5 for a large. There's only a few good options for vegetarians. A popular sandwich is the Veggi Tation. This is a pretty big wrap. It's about $15, which is quite a lot. This is a wrap that comes with a spread of cream cheese or hummus, topped with avocados, cucumbers, portobello mushrooms, red bell peppers, red onions, and spinach. It's good. The problem is it's too expensive for just a sandwich. Cool place but they close early. It must be boring in Carson City so maybe that's why they won't stay open. The service also can be slow and some others have mentioned rudeness but I personally haven't seen it yet.

Extremely overpriced and very underwhelming food. I got a spoonful of avocado, 3 strips of bacon, spoonful of eggs and one cup of soup came out to 22 dollars. The soup was not cooked, the lentils were extremely hard. Also, poor customer service. I had picked up a menu and put it on my table to look at and the waitress picked it up off my table and gave it to someone else at a different table without asking if I wanted to order anything or if I was done looking at the menu. Really bad vibes. You're better off going somewhere else.

Worst service ever. I ordered a 12oz triple cappuccino with a Splenda. The barista argued with me, saying a cappuccino is in a 10oz cup with 2 shots. Don't argue with a customer, when they ask with details, they know what they want. She then "explained" that a cappuccino is 1/3 coffee, 1/3 steamed milk and 1/3 foam. She said in a 12oz cup there would be a lot of space in the cup. I tried to explain that with 3 shots of espresso, in a 12oz cup the ratio would work out. But no, the barista kept arguing with me. She finally made the cappuccino, but left out the Splenda. (It's better to put the sweetener in the coffee, then the foam instead of on top of the foam) I was pissed off when I went back to get the Splenda, most places would have remade the drink, but no, the barista just tossed the packet at me. I told them how rudely they were, and the barista started yelling at me. I originally ordered with a young lady who didn't understand what a cappuccino was. When I walked out, apparently she started crying. The barista said she had just started two days ago and was in training. I told her in my coffee shop, new employees were trained completely. Every one of them knew what the different drinks were and knew how to make them, before they were on the front line and attended to a customer. Do not go to this place. There are way more, better options for coffee in Carson City. Even Starbucks (yuck) is a better option than this place.

By far the best coffee place I've been to. Outstanding environment. Lots of places to sit, geek out on your laptop, play gams, ppl watch, whatever .... Great coffee, tea food, even booze! Free wifi. Love this plc.

Trash- metaphorically and literally. Didn't this place recently get closed down- again- for not following sanitary standards like storing food at the proper temp and cleanliness? The owner June is incredibly self-righteous and just no. I won't get mean... but unaccountable people are dangerous! Now she's trying to market two AirBnB's under Comma Coffee's name? Weird and it goes to show she'll do anything for a dime. Also a concerning character trait and business practice... Never mind the overpriced, underwhelming food purchased from Costco and the eggs they cook using the SAME steam wand they use to steam the milk of lattes. Gross.

LOVE THE VIBES! Miss legit coffee houses like this & this place takes me back to a time where coffee houses are exactly what they should be, long before the corporate coffee takeover. Staff here couldn't be more friendly! Prices are amazing! Quality second to none!

A very quant and spacious open space cafe. The Eggs-clamation egg croissant was fresh and lovely. I was so surprised to fins this place. Groups of people playing games, etc. Seems like quite a hub for Carson City. Looking forward to coming back for sure.

Best service, funky and fun decor, delicious fresh squeezed juices, and extensive menu! 10/10 recommend. Sat at the stools one morning while reading with a coffee and juice - just wonderful! My new go to spot in Carson (:

Amazing customer service, I'm always welcomed in upon entry. The food and drinks are just what you need to start your day.

So sad about our experience this morning. The ambiance is super cute. I chose to build my bagel. You get a choice of 3 spreads: basil pesto, cream cheese or hummus. I chose the hummus and a few toppings. I got into the car and bit into my bagel to learn it tasted very strongly of basil pesto. We turned around because my body cannot process dairy. Cheese is a main ingredient in pesto. I wasn't rude when I went in, just stated that I ordered hummus and not the basil pesto. The woman who made my sandwich (appeared to be the owner), snapped at me 'it IS hummus'. I thought to myself 'ok, that really should be clarified on the menu'. I immediately followed up by asking 'Does it have dairy in it?', she looked at me like I was nuts and asking an outlandish question and replied with a curt 'no'. I mentioned 'ok, as long as it's not made like traditional pesto' and she just gave me a blank stare. So I left with my bagel and ate it with the confirmation from the owner that it didn't have dairy. Now I come here and I read reviews where it's stated that the basil pesto hummus DOES have cheese in it. Maybe they have changed the recipe... or maybe I was lied to because they didn't want to remake the bagel or lose money. Either way, the attitude of the owner was very disappointing. The girl at the front counter was very nice. Only time will tell if I end up on the toilet for the first day of my ski trip....

I was in Carson City for work and my employer rented out the space for a continental breakfast banquet for 120 people. For this, Comma Coffee gave us ONE coffee carafe for 120 people. When it ran out (which was almost immediately), the employee suggested "try ordering coffee at the counter like a paying customer." Um, okay. About five of us got in line right away at the counter to order coffee. Keep in mind that we are now purchasing our own coffee, as if we had not already rented out the space and prepaid for catering (which included coffee for 120 people). I was third in line. There were three employees. Each employee skipped over me and took orders from the other people in line. I continued to wait at the counter, making eye contact with each employee, as one does when trying to place an order. Then, two other customers (not from our banquet) walked in from outside. They employees immediately served them, bypassing the growing line inside, telling them that, "Ugh, it's hard to serve real customers when we have a huge party in here." I stood at the counter in line, and each employee ignored me, serving the people behind and around me. Once I started counting, I counted that they served eight people after I had reached the front of the line. The difference? I am a person of color and the other people they were serving were all white folks. I told the employee that I had been passed over for the last time and would get my coffee elsewhere. I sat down at a table with some of my coworkers, including another woman of color. Moments later, the owner comes over and starts talking to my coworker, trying to take her order. Note: my coworker and I do NOT look anything alike other than the fact that we are both Asian. My coworker is confused, as she had been seated the entire time and had not been standing at the counter for fifteen minutes, as I had. So I ask the owner, "Do we all look the same to you?" To which she replies, "Actually, yes." Then, the owner goes on to justify the poor customer service/racism by saying that they are overwhelmed because of the banquet. Like, aren't you running a restaurant? I should also add that the breakfast pastries were either dry/stale or underbaked. They should not rent out their facility if they can't accommodate/serve food. The fact that we paid for coffee for 120 people and they literally provided us with ONE carafe was absurd. Perhaps they hoped they could then sell food to us at the counter in addition to the breakfast banquet we had already paid for?

Stopped in here randomly while searching for a nice cup of coffee on a cold winter morning. What a wonderful coffee shop! I visitors know a weekday morning and there were about 10-15 people here, a mix of regulars who seemed to know each other along with newbies like me. First off, the atmosphere is perfect! Quaint, a little funky, and clearly historic. The building hails from the mid-1800s and smart money says there are ghosts adrift in the halls. :-) The breakfast menu was varied, desiring many egg dishes. I had the Spanish dish, which is there take on a breakfast burrito. Cooked perfectly and it came with homemade salsa too! I was eyeing the cinnamon rolls. Next time... OK let's get down to the important stuff. Coffee. I had my usual: americano black. It came piping hot and served in a funky mug. Love it! No paper cups at least while you dine in. The coffee had great flavor. Not burnt tasting or some weird fruity flavor. This is good coffee! If you are in the area, I highly recommend Comma Coffee. The lunch menu looked pretty good too!

I found this place while working. "Loitering encouraged" says the owner. Good food and price...but best for loitering

Avoid this place if you appreciate customer service. Over priced goods and the staff has no sense of customer service. I never should have tipped them in advance. The whole experience was a waste of time and money. There are many quaint places to eat/drink in Carson. Choose wisely as today I did not.

Okay, if you must...the Mile High Jazz Band (which should be called the very best jazz band plays here) OMG! too bad we can't upload sound! The Xmas Program was so wonderful!! About Comma! Okay, the place is magical too with lots of 1869 old dry goods mercantile left...best over 21 and under too. They have very very good coffee, Pizza, Appetizers, and light food. All good...if you come at the right time there is yoga and ABAB Cottages. Call ahead or look online for all the events. Too much fun to not travel here...

Quirky old world eatery and coffee establishment. Housed in a huge 19th century 1st floor building across from the Capitol. Hundreds of artifacts adorn the walls. Some are interesting and some aren't.

Artsy fartsy meets thrifting. The ambiance of this place was cute and cozy. The inside was nothing like I expected but I loved every part of it. The best thing about this city is the community and closeness. If you're not dining in, there is a convenient window to order from, but the inside is the gem. The service is the best part of this place. The food & drinks were also top tier. The eggs are steamed, using the coffee machine- so different but so fluffy and GREAT. Overall - I plan to visit this spot many times in my time here. So happy we found a good breakfast spot.

This is my favorite coffee spot in Carson. Bring a book so you can sit and enjoy the yummy bakery items and a custom coffee. The decor is amazing. You can literally go down a rabbit hole just checking out the walls!

I really dig the vibe at Comma Coffee. These days I'm all about the outdoor seating and they've got a good mix of tables and benches, plus a few armchairs too, all cool in the shade! This past weekend we picked up some drinks after the farmers market. I tried a nitro cold brew. Decent flavor but not as punchy as others. My kiddo likes the Italian soda. Friends said the blended chai was delicious. Can't really go wrong. I was impressed with the food my friend got. It was a nice scramble with toast and bacon. It looked super fresh and was very delicious.

I love Comma Coffee. I grew up going here when visiting my dad down in Carson City and it's definitely a great place to return to when I visit. The decor is fun and eclectic, representative of the quirkiness of Nevadans. Ample seating and incredible ambiance as a guitar teacher does a lesson in the back area and old bitties play Bunko. Or on some random night, catch live belly dancing and some students studying or playing board games. Staff are always chill and clearly take the time to know regulars names. Coffee and food are solid and affordable for the portion and quality. Parking immediately by the building can be limited depending on the time of day/year but a public lot is not too far. Thanks for always staying such a great joint for everyone.

I live in Reno, but I love driving down to Carson to enjoy Comma Coffee & to go to a few of my favorite shops. (Midtown Marketplace is the best!) Right when I walked in the door, a young man greeted me. Less than a minute after I sat down, this same kid greeted me with a menu. Already impressed, because good service is so rare these days, I asked his name. Samuel, he said. He was so attentive from the get go, I knew I wanted to write a Yelp review. Then, another woman, Tara, checked on me several times and was so personable and pleasant. She took the time to ask what I was reading and we talked books! I never needed a thing, because these 2 were always around making sure I was good, but not being crowding at all. There is definitely a balance! I have been in the service industry my whole life, and the employees this morning were top notch! I then went to tell the owner, June, how amazing these guys were and how impressed I was. She looked me right in the eye and thanked me. I LOVE the atmosphere in here, and the mimosas, with FRESH SQUEEZED OJ, were so so delicious. Bottomless for $12??!! How can you beat that? Please support this local business in these tough times. You won't be disappointed! There were numerous "regulars" and the owner, June, was so personable with them! Thank you Samuel, Tara, & June! Keep up the good work!

Great and friendly staff. I love the ambiance. The different furniture and decorations are so fun. The food is also so tasty! I had a panini and a lavendar green tea. Definitely a place to frequent!

A buddy mentioned this place a couple times when I was craving coffee, I never went because I didn't know where it really was tbh. Craving both a bite and cup of coffee I decided to drag him along for a quick trip on a work break. The place is sort hidden around a couple other bigger restaurants but if you are looking for it you will see it. They had a daily special on their Mexican Mocha and having never tried a Mexican Mocha or any coffee there I figured why not. For the bite to eat, I choose their ham, egg, and cheese but instead of having it in a croissant I went with a Jalapeno bagel. It was delicious. I enjoy finding and helping good local places like this spot. It's really funky inside in a good way. I hopefully will have the time some other day to look around. Glad to have found a nice spot that is convenient with my daily routine. Will absolutely be back.

Hands down my favorite coffee in Carson City! Every time I am driving through town or on the way to Tahoe..I try to make a stop here. The service is always excellent and the employees I've interacted with are always so friendly. Today we got an iced latte and iced mocha. Both excellent as always! I've never gotten food...but whatever I've seen come out of the kitchen looks amazing! They are set up as an outdoor take out window right now until 2pm. Not sure the exact days there are open or the opening time. Please make sure to support places like this! Local businesses need our help! See you soon!

Friendly staff great coffee! We could all complain on the price of everything but as far as a good cup of coffee and a nice staff comma coffee is the spot !

Very few vegan food options. Most are with hummus. The sandwich was mediocre with not enough flavor and not enough hummus. Overpriced. Coffee was ok. Very cozy cafe and service is great.

Had a perfect open face bagel breakfast, a delicious latte and a moist muffin. I needed to work for a few hours while in town and this spot was perfect. Friendly staff & cute vibe.

This place is just wonderful. Stopped in here for breakfast while on a road trip to Lake Tahoe and it was such a breath of fresh air. Super quirky and definitely unique, my only complaint is that this restaurant isn't in Los Angeles. The server was super sweet, the food was delicious (the bacon ughhh!!! Soooo good!) and the orange juice is legit-- fresh squeezed, sweet perfection in a glass. Such a gem! Would definitely recommend!

Last time I went there I arrived just as they were closing I came with my friend who was moving out of town and wanted to go there one last time. We got a dry nope we're closing response. Yes we arrived at closing time but they were not closed yet. It's not the fact that they refused to take our order that bothered me as much as the way the response was delivered. Pre-pandemic they frequently just closed at random times. It was always a disappointment to make dates with friends just to find out they are closed when we got there. I want to make this place a regular spot, I like the space, but they just make it hard to do that. The food is not special anyway but I like the drinks. I used to recommend it to out of town friends but not anymore. Overall I'd rather go other places now.

I just had a Pumpkin Latte...delicious! It was ready in no time. This is such a cute place to take a pause...

Super cool place. We stayed in Carson city for our visit Tahoe. I worked from this cafe for a day. Good wifi, good coffee, good juices/smoothies and a decent food menu with tasteful interoir and good service located right in the heart of the city. I think this place checks everything. We had a couple of smoothies and loved them. Pricing was reasonable as well. If you are eever around, you cant go wrong coming here.

Comma Coffee is the best coffee place in Carson City. I sometimes wish I lived in Carson just so I could go by more often. The staff is incredibly friendly and the atmosphere is amazing! If you love things to look at you could be in here for hours. There are skeletons hanging from the ceiling.. as well as a piano, and artwork and photographs covering all the walls. The back seating room is really fun as well. Tons of books to look at and toys for the younger ones. Food is served hEre as well, but I haven't had a chance to have anything.. but I've heard good things. I do wish the price of lattes were a bit less. They charge a decent amount already, but with "specialty milks".. like almond (like I get) there is an additional charge. All in all this place is great and I love sitting around and looking at all there is to offer. Make sure to visit if your in the area.
