Midtown Reno

Coffee Shop

The Derby coffee bar runs all day inside our California Avenue shop. We serve Puff Coffee, pulled on a La Marzocco and handed across the counter to clients in the chair, regulars from the neighborhood and anyone who wanders in for a cup.

The Experience

The coffee bar is part of the room, not bolted on as an afterthought. Pull up at the counter, take a seat in the lounge or head out to the patio. Coffee bar hours match the shop. No appointment needed.

Puff Coffee on a La Marzocco

We pour Puff Coffee out of Reno, dialed in daily and pulled on a La Marzocco espresso machine. That's the gear and the bean that serious coffee bars run, and it shows up in the cup. Milk steamed properly, syrups kept to a minimum, no burnt shots.

Meet the Head Barista

Head barista Brendan Copella runs the bar. He's the reason the cortado you had last Tuesday tasted the same on Friday. Brendan dials the grind, trains the team and treats the espresso bar like a chair of its own. Ask him what he's drinking that week.

The Patio

Step out front onto the patio. It's a sunny outdoor spot off California Avenue with seating, fresh air and the same Puff Coffee in your hand. Good for a morning meeting, an afternoon break between errands in Midtown or a quiet seat with a book while the shop runs around you.
