GET OUT THERE AND PATIO.

Reno was built for the warm months—the patios, the rooftops, the riverwalk. When the weather hits this perfectly, there is absolutely no reason to stay inside.

For the July/August issue, LaDonna Michelle is tracking down the absolute best outdoor spots in the Reno/Tahoe area. The kind of places where one quick drink naturally turns into two, and "we're just stopping by" turns into the highlight of your week.

No excuses, no staying on the couch. Reno is giving us every reason to be outside right now.

Check out the full feature for three local spots, every vibe, and zero bad choices.

Reno has plenty of great coffee spots, but Rising For People Coffee Co. in MidTown is shaking things up with their new Rising Society Membership.

Instead of tracking points or hunting for punch cards, the program lets members scan and grab up to two drinks every single day. Beyond the daily caffeine fix, they focus heavily on sustainable sourcing, working directly with over two dozen small coffee farmers, prioritizing women-owned farms, and planting a mangrove tree for every bag sold.

Because a truly great coffee experience is always elevated by excellent food, supporting a local spot that puts real equity behind both your morning cup and your culinary routine makes all the difference.
