Bibo Coffee Company

I have always loved Bibo coffee and after not living in Reno for some time I decided to stop in and grab one of their unforgettable iced chai lattes. The chia is still amazing and so were both of the sweet baristas that helped me! My 1 star review is coming from the fact that when I asked if I could tip the lovely ladies on my debit card I was informed that they personally don’t receive any of the credit card tips and that they only get to keep cash tips! Working in the service industry myself, this is infuriating because that directly tells me that the owners are pocketing at least half or more of the baristas hard earned tips. Both workers said that they have to get new jobs because they aren’t making enough and I don’t blame them. Needless to say, the coffee is good but I will no longer support a business that steals from its own employees.

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.

We had a great experience; the coffee was delicious and the lady who took our order was very helpful and was super nice. She described all the specialty drinks we asked about and didn't seem bothered in the slightest. We then sat and enjoyed our coffee in a nice relaxing setting, with reclining chairs! That was a nice surprise.

$6 coffee and no WiFi.... Even the majority of coffee places in second world countries have WiFi. Get with the times Bibo (unless you're trying to be ultra hipster and disallow any tech at all, you should only accept cash in coins then ;) Coffee is good, ambiance is nice, but with no internet.. I'll be going back to Starbucks
