Mmmmmm! Apollo wrap! So I have to start with how much I appreciate the above and beyond that Pathways provided to me! I saw a delicious looking salad, but felt like a wrap. You know how sometimes when you ask for special requests they may seem annoyed... Well not Pathways staff! They happily and quickly jumped on it! I also appreciate that every person in there had a smile on their faces! This makes me have a smile in my face! The Apollo wrap was mixed lettuce, feta cheese, pecans that they even took the time to chop up for me since it was in a wrap (they are whole in the salad), chicken, Italian dressing all wrapped up in a spinach tortilla! First, it was huge! So big I ate half and needed to open up the other half and just eat the salad so not to waste! It was sooooo awesome! Loved the whole experience!

This is a great place for vegetarians. The main problem is that it's located in the med school campus and you still have to worry about parking. Even as a university employee, I rarely find myself here due to inconvenience. They have special soups that rival Dandelion Café. Check it out if you have the means! "Paid" Wi-Fi simply because you either need a guest access code or be a student with a current NetID or MedID.

I just had the most delicious and nutricious lunch at Pathways! I LOVE the vegan and gluten free options here! I had a soup and sandwhich combo that knocked my socks off. The veg head sandwhich was really really good! I ordered it without cheese (vegan) and the wonderful person behind the counter informed me that they have vegan cheese. Yes Please! They even have Veganaise! Yay! Every bite was heavenly. It was so good I was inhaling it. I had to remind myself to slow down and savor it! I also enjoyed the most flavorful tomato soup I have ever tasted. Bravo Pathways! I can't wait for your Virginia St. location to open up so I can visit you more often!!!! Thank you!!!

Great cafe up at UNR. Killer sandwiches, soups, pastries and atmosphere. Everything is home farmed or home grown and home made. Juli is a doll and Gino is a character. Am not crazy about the coffee. I prefer Alpen Sierra Coffee out of Carson Valley. Their organic coffees are richer and more flavorful than Blind Dog's organic's however Blind Dog does donate a % of their proceeds to Childhood Cancer which is cool. Don't know where Gino learned how to make soups, but they are amazing and the prices in this place are about half of what they should be.
