bibo coffee company / bibo freddo gelato

Use to love this place, but it is a shell of itself now. Two years since covid started and the interior has been gutted, It needs a good cleaning and some paint. Same seating as what was here when they originally opened, including upholstered chairs that need to be removed because they are gross. The coffee was always the draw... even that is not up to par. We get it...covid times suck but a little cleanliness and paint goes a long way. It feels like the owners have given up on this location, which makes me sad as it used to be super busy and now is a ghost town. Still the best spiced Chai in town, though.

They are always so nice and the coffee is very good. I get their devil net which is a cold brew with whole milk and vanilla flavoring. Its extremely good. I highly recommend getting you coffee here.

I love visting local coffee shops while traveling, but unfortunately I had terrible experience listening to the two baristas yell at each other, on top of the rude customer service. Coffee was okay but pricey for what I got.

Staff seemed put out by having to do their job & not happy to be at work. Drinks were ok but not great, will not return.

Ordered a small white mocha for over $5 and it was okay but the customer service was pretty bad. We were the only customers and the barista didnt say hi, just stood at the counter and stared at us until we ordered. No prices listed anywhere either. Then didn’t tell us when she was done making the drink, just put it at the counter getting cold. Made us feel very unwelcome. Then a homeless guy walked up and she said hi to him and gave him a free cup of coffee. Should probably hire more friendly people being a coffee shop.

S. Reno location the place was super nice, fun looking. All tables were taken that Sunday 9am. The staff (not sure...) they were all in front of me (4 of them). I was waiting for my coffee in front of the espresso machine. They were talking to each other but looking at my direction. I was kinda confused haha. Anyways, the coffee didn't impressed me. But it's not bad.

Bibo at Foothill. Great location with great potential and I wish I could stay as upbeat about the cafe itself. Terribly friendly but clueless staff with nothing that would resemble love for the craft of coffee. No matter what hour of the day, the working area around the machine and the two grinders remains permanently messy with tools lying in disarray, not to mention layers of old ground coffee covering the surface. Yes, one can obsess excessively over clean counters but that’s hardly what truly matters. I could forgive all this if the coffee is of exceptional quality but I’m afraid that is not the case. Irrespective of the roast, the shots are consistently bitter, absolutely lacking tonal textures of individual blends. Customers with preference for milk-based espresso beverages would likely not notice any of this but those who find pleasure in appreciation of the craft, seek consistent stimulation and perhaps a bit of coffee escapism need to look elsewhere. Bibo (at Foothill) is yet another mediocre and uninspiring coffee joint disguised as artisan pit stop that leaves you with nothing more than bitterness.

It was good. I like the location and the staff were nice and helpful. The coffee was nothing remarkable but then I only had a standard coffee this day. They also sell and make their own Gelato in original flavors. The counter person explained they had coffee drinks that used Gelato in them, now that sounds like what I will try on my next visit.

Best coffee in town. I am at the south Reno location every single morning - espresso that makes you feel energized not jittery and I love the staff.

There's really nothing special about this coffee place. The coffee tastes bland, the closest I can compare it to is cheap homemade coffee, and it's expensive for what it actually is. The decor is nice but after a while it starts feeling empty. The staff is friendly but if you ask them for a recommendation they don't really recommend anything.
