Walden's Coffeehouse - Breakfast & Coffee in Reno

Walden’s Coffeehouse – A Local Favorite for Breakfast and Coffee in Reno Walden’s Coffeehouse is a beloved local franchise with three branches in Reno, each offering a cozy spot for breakfast, brunch, and coffee. I visited the West Reno location, which has built a strong following as a go-to neighborhood brunch place. The café is decorated in an old-fashioned style with cute, quirky wall decorations, creating a relaxed and homey vibe. The ordering process is casual—customers grab both a dining menu and drink menu before heading to the cashier to place their order. Popular choices include the breakfast burritos and panini-style sandwiches, which are consistently recommended. I tried the Macwalden, made with an English muffin, house-made sausage patties, egg, and sharp cheddar. It was hearty and flavorful, the kind of sandwich that makes mornings feel complete. I also tried the Smash Walden, featuring avocado smash and Monterey Jack cheese. A single bite revealed layers of rich flavor, with the strong, satisfying aroma of melted cheese—truly energizing to start the day. For drinks, I went with an 8 oz macchiato, but it came with so little milk that it didn’t even fill the cup, leaving me a bit disappointed—it felt like poor value compared to other options. The space itself is versatile: there are tables with plug-ins that make it convenient for working, though the background music can occasionally be on the louder side. For those who prefer the outdoors, there’s a warm and sunny patio area that’s also pet-friendly, perfect for enjoying coffee in the fresh air. Parking is ample, so it’s easy to visit without hassle. --- Final Thoughts Walden’s Coffeehouse is a solid Reno favorite for hearty breakfast plates, sandwiches, and coffee. While not every drink hits the mark, the food is flavorful and filling, and the atmosphere makes it a comfortable stop whether you’re working, socializing, or simply enjoying brunch with your pup in the sun.

AMAZING!!! So glad we drove a little out of the way to stop here. I went with the smoothered burrito and boy did not disappoint. It was so good and the amount of food more than made it worth the price!
