Best Breakfast in Reno

Reno's home away from home since 1995

We wrap it in a 14 inch spinach tortilla and fill it with roasted potatoes we season with our own spud spice. Get it with chorizo.

Every week we grind and mix it with a seasoning Chef Michael Barone created. For the MacWalden, we smash it on the griddle when you order.

Our coffee is organic and locally roasted, and our baristas pull each shot for a nice crema. A mocha here is a mocha, not a chocolate latte.

Walden's has been part of Reno since 1995, and the Barone family has owned it since 2012. Find us on Mayberry Drive, Wells Avenue and Arlington Avenue.

Unbeatable breakfast burritos with unbeatable portions at an unbeatable price for what you get. I’m positive the breakfast burrito I was handed would have neared 4lbs on a scale, this thing had heft to it, and it was delicious. The protein options are positively choice. Chipotle could never. You locals need to do everything in your power to keep this place afloat, locations like this are an absolute rarity these days and exactly the kind of places we desperately need more of!!!

This coffee shop is a gem! Very high quality ingredients from the food to the coffee! Espresso has a nice flavor, not burnt tasting or overbearing. We ordered the Smash Walden and The Birdie with sausage. Both food items were perfectly seasoned with high quality ingredients. Staff is very knowledgeable and kind! We will definitely come back here when we travel again! Thank you so much for your wonderful food and service!

I love love love it here!! The service first off is amazing! The food is surprisingly my favorite! We had a breakfast burrito and avocado toast (twerk it style) and it was incredible. The coffee was great also but I never expected such great food! My only wish is that it’d feel a bit more cozy in there but honestly it’s such a small thing that it shouldn’t even be a thing.

Nice coffee shop in Reno. My wife & I are coffee afficionados & addicts. We love coffee. We roast our own beans. The medium roast black coffee here was the best I have had in the state of Nevada. Great service, too.

Incredible little cafe serving up a mountain of deliciousness. We shared a breakfast burrito that was so tasty and too big for one person. Order at the counter and clean your table after enjoying fresh squeezed oj and a super satisfying breakfast.
