native american owned & family operated coffee company
preserving the tradition of great basin coffee, one sip at a time.
local coffee expertly crafted
Star Village Coffee's story is about innovation, adaptation, and destiny. We come from a long line of trendsetting, trade networking, and horizon stretching— makers of life's finer things.
We’d like to imagine that our coffee inspiration exists in a creative space of compromise, where the desert alpine converges with the high sierra, to symbolize a historical resilience that pays homage to that which came before us. In with the old, out comes the new, but always in use. This turn of the phrase is the concept behind our custom-built drinks, and we are proud to share our story with you.
ODE TO THE GREAT BASIN
Showcasing forgotten, local ingredients as we pay homage to our ancestors
We aim to remind people that well-established food pathway systems existed outside their front doors before the advent of online food ordering platforms. We will showcase a few forgotten ingredients on our coffee menu as we pay homage to the long line of artisans we descend from.
The "grows wild" ingredients we will be previewing on our menu are Great Basin staples— essential to our way of life, call them survival foods, especially coffee. Chokecherries, sage, and pine nuts are endemic to the Great Basin, and we will be making your specialty drinks with regional ingredients.
We highlighted specific flavor components because of their cultural and gastronomical significance. These indigenous ingredients represent a piece of our culinary culture. They are an integral part of a foodway system that sustain the people (Numu). Our ancestral teachings remind us about the importance of treating the sharing of food and drink as a time-honored ceremony. With this same spirit of participation, we share our coffee creations with you.
Visit our new location
Located at 560 Mill Street in the heart of Reno, NV. Our new space boasts a spacious and inviting atmosphere, with ample seating options to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all our values customers.
We descend from great upheaval and constant influx. Struggle is in our blood. But so is joy, and so is humor. We grew up in northern Nevada, amongst dreamers and resistors, in times of change and resettlement. We grew up running amok in the hills of Hungry Valley, at an elevation of 4,380 feet, or higher. Star Village is the culmination of peak and valley— it’s the recognition that we look to the stars for community and bearing. Sometimes our individual journeys only make sense when we bring our renewed messages, and unlocked gifts back to the people (Numu).
