While looking for new breakfast/brunch spots, my daughter and I came across this tucked away cafe for brunch before heading back to the Bay Area. It's a little artsy, industrial type area, modeled for a cafe, with the shell being a converted garage. Parking is hit or miss, more street parking. I noticed it's across the street from condos/townhouses. Super cool for anyone living in that area. We were seated right away. Mixture of tables, from 1-8 persons, comfortably. It does have an outdoor patio area, which I thought was cool, for those nice spring/summer mornings. Would be cool possibly if they opened up the garage door and did more tables in/out? Pictured is the chicken fried steak. Got my eggs scrambled. I also got orange juice, one size and it was freshly squeezed. All in all the dish and orange juice was good. Waiter forgot my toast, but honestly I don't think I would've finished my food if it landed on the table. Prices are medium. It was $5 for the freshly squeezed orange juice, and the glass was an average size. Gulp. All in all, definitely a contender when visiting Reno in the future. read more

Stephanie was our server and was absolutely amazing. Owner walked around and talked to us and it is really a big family feeling here. The portion sizes are huge and the food is outstanding. Everyone at our party of 5 raved about the quality and taste of the food. 100 out of 100 read more

Gloria’s Cafe - Country Burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This is a hidden gem!! This place is a bit off the beaten path but I'm glad we came across it Jen our server was friendly & attentive, seated us right away. The coffee was right up & while we waited for the food the other servers kept checking in & refilling our coffees. What brought us here was the Monte Cristo & it did not disappoint. They add honey mustard to theirs, I wasn't too sure about it at first but the combo was great. Next up was your breakfast basics, the servings were big & filling. This is now my new go to when I'm back in Reno & I highly recommend you give it a try when you're in the area! This has a mom & pops feel to it, I think we might've stood out and it seemed everyone there was a regular. read more

Food was okay. Service was terrible, we waited about 20 mins to order then another 20-30 mins for drinks. Coffee was over priced for a latte and the espresso was not very good, I would compare it to a gas station coffee. Horchata was grainy. Eggs Benedict were soggy but the hash browns were good and crispy. Omelette and mini pancakes were good. For the price and service would not recommend. read more

I have no idea WHY this place doesn't have 5 stars across the board! The food was incredible- from quality, freshness, and portions. The service was great- we were greeted when we entered with genuine energy, and had attentive and thoughtful waitress. It is very nice and family friendly (although it was just me and my husband dining). When we visit Reno again this will DEFINITELY be our first stop. read more

The road to Gloria's literally tells you it's a dead end, but trust me - keep going! Delicious food and a friendly staff awaits! Somewhere along Dickerson, where Oxbow Cafe sat for a while, is Gloria's Cafe, a cute little spot with a cute little patio and varied menu where everything is good. I've been here multiple times on different occasions. I can highly recommend the Monte Cristo (with a beautiful presentation!) and the chilaquiles with chorizo are dynamite as well, though they serve them with a spicy sauce that is SUPER hot, so be careful with the pour! I've also had the horchata latte (yum!) and hashbrowns (decent!) This place is consistent in quality and service, so it's a spot I find myself gravitating back to again and again. It's quiet and unpretentious and just tasty. Get there early because they start to fill up around 10am. It'll be worth the early rise! read more

The food here was amazing 10/10 would recommend, the service was quick and only took 15 minutes. I would definitely return back here.

Absolutely delicious! We ordered the monte cristo and chorizo with eggs. So so yummy. The horchata latte was okay. Service was fast and the restaurant is super cute and cozy. read more

The food and service were spectacular! The BEST chicken fried steak I've ever had! Loved all the flavor options for the coffee! Can't wait to go back on our next visit! read more

When you first arrive to park it can seem out of place or off, but I assure you find a spot and go in. Don't be thrown off course. Once you arrive inside you will quickly be greeted and served. The old world feeling of a slow sip cappuccino or espresso while enjoying the warm atmosphere will transport you away from the typical breakfast dinner. Time is slower, but no sacrifice in service. Take your time and unwind. They have both Spanish/Mexican style breakfast as well as French and Traditional plates. Tortilla chips are homemade. It was hard to decide what to pick as many of the dishes will have you wishing there was a menu sampler. Ultimately decided on the huevos ahogados and was not disappointed, but really wanted to try the monte cristo or the eggs benedict. There is room to accommodate a large group but also laid out where I didn't feel out of place going alone. Larger tables are separated by a half wall and arch where the small cafe tables are on the bar side. Furniture was wood, not metal, so warm and comfortable. Great place to read a paper or meet up with old friends for catching up. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed in this gem. read more

A great breakfast option in Reno that doesn't seem to be on many people's radars, making the wait time a little more manageable compared to other places. The atmosphere is pretty basic, which makes it quaint in a simple way. Hands down the best Chilaquiles in Reno. The ranchero sauce is unbelievable. You'll want to drink what's left and then lick your plate clean. Served over a bed of black beans, with eggs, pico, sour cream, and avocado on top. I ordered mine with chorizo (an extra $5) and was able to take 1/2 home for lunch. Much better price and portion size compared to others in the area. read more

Was looking for a breakfast spot found this place..When putting are name on the waitlist Gloria was very helpful we had a party of 6 and ask one of her customers if they were willing on moving to another table so they can make room for us . The food was amazing and the customer service was great and the place was very clean. read more

Had breakfast at Gloria's Cafe formally the Oxbow Cafe on Dickerson. The food was amazing! Their portions are extremely generous. Gloria and her staff were welcoming and accommodating. I had chorizo and eggs accompanied by the best, freshest home style potatoes and black beans. My friend had chilaquilles in red sauce accompanied by scrambled eggs, beans and half a sliced avocado. read more

My new favorite breakfast place in Reno area. The food was absolutely DELICIOUS. We ordered vegetarian omelette (had a fantastic sauce), California eggs Benedict (with added chorizo and they were very generous with the chorizo, which we greatly appreciated and the chorizo had so much flavor), and our little toddler had grilled cheese (they allowed us to sub with wheat bread) and fresh fruit. The food and sauces were all so flavorful and everything was reasonably priced. We sat outside in their beautiful patio area. Everything from the food, the ambiance, the service, and price was fantastic. Will definitely be recommending everyone to this cute, local breakfast spot - our new favorite, that's for sure! read more

Visiting Reno wanted to eat somewhere outside of a casino. Went here based on Yelp reviews and EVERYTHING we ate was so good. Generous portions, very very flavorful. I wish it was closer to my house. Even my mom, who complains about every restaurant could only find one complaint - the English muffin didn't have enough nooks and cranny's. If that's all the bad she had to say, this visit is a win! I'll be back next trip. read more

Big fan of Gloria's, servers are always nice and the food is well prepared. The patio is good on a nice warm morning. Close to the river, it's a great spot to go after a long walk along it. read more

Great food and amazing service. Staff are friendly and attentive. The location is not to far from the main rows in Reno. We sat outside because we had a dog with us but it was pleasant. The patio area is quiet and spacious. Will be back :) read more

Food was fast. Friendly staff. Establishment was clean & cute. My husband ordered the breakfast burrito & I had the Gloria's special. Both were delicious & both portions were huge. read more

I can't believe I live in NW Reno and had never been here before! It's tucked away on 4th Street and is not a place people drive by very often. That makes it an ideal place to come for weekend brunch when other restaurants in more heavily trafficked areas get busy. We came with some friends on Saturday morning around 10am and were seated right away. It has a very cozy vibe that almost feels like you're over at a family member's house for a meal. Service was excellent, our waiter came by often and always made sure we were taken care of. They did not have decaf coffee listed on the menu but were happy to make a fresh pot for me! I ordered the Ham and Cheese omelet but subbed the ham for bacon. It came with hashbrowns and toast, or you can get it with mini pancakes! My husband got The Skillet breakfast and it was literally served in a skillet! Same with my friend's Corned Beef Hash. Everyone loved their food, we thought it was all delicious! Great serving sizes, nice staff, solid service. They have a lot of fun things on their menu that I plan to try in the future. And I can't wait to come sit on their patio for brunch this summer! I will definitely be back soon! read more

This place is quite quaint, it's out of the way and it's not down into any other crowded areas of downtown Reno. Looks like it's family run. Service is great. I would definitely come back. Let's talk food: I had the chicken fried steak & eggs with gravy on the side, delicious! Their menu is quite extensive. You have options for healthier choices on the back of the menu. Which is a great added plus for those who are watching what they eat. All in all great experience. read more

Good food and service in a tucked away cafe. We had a good brunch with good dishes, helpful attentive service and a typical cafe environment. Location is a bit unique and commercial, but a solid brunch! Would go back again! read more

Excellent quality food at Gloria's Café. I very much like their Mexican style breakfasts. Huevos rancheros are great. Salsa is nice and hot. Only downfall is when at all busy food can take a while. Certainly worth the wait. read more

Food was great! My friend and I went for breakfast and we shared two entrees which was perfect for us. We went on a Saturday at 10:30am and waited about 15 minutes. They do have outdoor seating but it was really windy. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Very pleased with this cute little spot. read more

Had a good impression for being my first time here. It is a nice little restaurant. It is somewhat in a hidden area along the river. The staff is super friendly and seated us within 5 minutes. We came here for breakfast. I ordered the chorizo omelette. The chorizo is so flavorful. It's not your normal chorizo. It is so yummy. The portions are pretty big enough to save some for lunch. Everything was very flavorful. I will return with my husband and little family. read more

Gloria’s Cafe - Chorizo omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I can see why this place gets busy! The food was delicious, platted in an extremely visually appealing way and the owner was very accommodating (she offered for us to move inside because it was cold, we initially turned down the request but then decided we should go back and ask her because we realized we didn't have jackets for the kids). The interior design is nice. The walls are different muted colors but it's done in a tasteful (not tacky) way. I'm curious if they were themed around be particular painting they have up or of they happened to find a painting that perfectly tied in with the different walls. I digress... back to the food-- delicious! I was especially impressed with the chorizo. The chorizo tasted like actual ground pork seasoned well with spices (not "mystery meat".). I loved the meaty texture. The group was happy with their eggs, bacon, berries, and French toast. As a heads up, the monte cristo comes with mustard on it. read more

Last minute plan with a group of 8. We planned to grab some brunch on a Sunday afternoon, and we have heard good things about Gloria's so had to try it for ourselves. The drive there you would think the gps is messed up and you are about to drive into a dead end. This is true if you pass it and keep driving, you will hit an escape of wilderness next to the river which is serene and beautiful. Okay back to the restaurant. We had to wait about 15 minutes for a table, (NOT BAD AT ALL) compared to others in the area. We chose to sit outside although by the road it is nicely closed off by flower pots and large umbrellas covering the tables. A couple of us got the breakfast burritos which were quite large but were very tasty. A couple others got the omelets which I heard were very good. I ordered the chilaquiles which was actually very tasty and the salsa you get on the side makes it even better. The remaining people got the specialty dish and were not a fan as they said the chorizo needed to be more flavorful and blanded out the dish. Blueberry pancakes were great for our shared dessert. It comes in a stack of 2 large pancakes and they were fresh and tasty! Portions were sized great overall and this is a place we will be visiting again. Don't take my word for it however go and check it out yourself. read more

Okay so let's start on there egg Benedict's, so me any wife both ordered a California egg Benedict and a mini pancake for me and her has brown hash on the side. Anyways Everything looks good when it came out I even took pictures on our food before we start eating it. So as I start eating my beautiful egg Benedict I start tasting that it was so SALTY so I called the waitress and told her about the food, she apologize and told me she will bring back a NEW ones. Anyways I waited about good five minutes my food came back , As I noticed the plate was the same as the last one and when I start cutting the English muffin which is under the porch eggs and the vegetables I NOTICED that it was so SAGGY!! I knew from the beginning that it was not fresh bread in the bottom , I also notice that the bread was not full circle because the first one has a BITE on it and second one, what they did is CUT the bread where the bite is and SERVE it back to me!! What a bad service!!! We were so disappointed on this place! We were supposed to go to two chicks or pegs!! But my wife insisted to check this place out!! Terrible service!!! If they serve a fully new food, made it all over again this review could be really good , but they did a short cut! They compromised their QUALITY service VS. serving me the old food!! I will not recommend this place ever!!! Keep this this to your customers and one by one they will not come back!! English muffin is only $3.89/bag in rally's or better yet Walmart $2.65 cents per bag!!! STOP being cheap on your quality!! You will loose all your customers if you are gonna continue doing this!!!! Good luck and stop being cheap on your food.. Ambiance are okay, nothing special read more

Gloria's is excellent! Although it was a busy Labor Day morning, service was quick and the food plentiful. This little off the beaten track cafe is a must if you're in the Reno area. Must try the French toast with whipped cream and berries!! Thanks for the great service. read more

I'm not going to lie we ended up at this place because the 2 places before that I tried going to were way too packed, but boy am I glad that I landed here. This place was fulfilled my cravings 100%. The staff were very friendly and always making sure to see if we needed anything. The food was fantastic. The Huevos Rancheros with the chorizo was probably the best I've ever had. The food was so fresh and authentic. The chilaquiles were also very tasty. The horchata latte is a must have to complement your meal. The atmosphere was so homey and just so comforting. This place is definitely a hidden gem, I'll be sure to visit every time I'm in Reno! read more

Came here for breakfast with my family. I ordered chilaquiles with steak, and my Mom ordered the chicken fried steak. The food was not all that, the chilaquiles was in a bowl on top of beans and it made it soggy, and it was hard to separate the different things they put in the bowl. It seemed all mashed together. And my Mom told me that the chicken fried steak tasted really old like it was frozen for a really long time. She was unable to eat the leftovers the next day, the flavor was stale. We ordered chai tea latte and it tasted like it was made out of pure milk. I had very little chai tea flavor, we had to send it back because I did not like it at all. I think this place is OK. Definitely can use improvement in some areas with the food and beverage. Very expensive too... maybe bring down the price a little bit to match the food and beverage quality, or raise the food and beverage. Quality to match the price. read more

Food was delicious! Parking was easy. The staff were attentive and courteous. You can tell a lot of their regulars frequent the place.

Found a new place in town to buy some crack. The #dealer made me pay for the sample, which is fine since the purity was 100%. This Monte Cristo was killer. One of the best in town, top 3 tier contender. Very, very close to the famous @disneyland #montecristosandwich A little savory and sweet dance around. I double checked before ordering that this was the real deal, battered and deep fried, instead of the French Toast version. The assured authenticity and even had fresh brewed ice tea to wash it down, not that bagged sh1t out of a beverage gun. Chicken fried steak is great. Perfect gravy with chunks of sausage, eggs over easy as ordered. But the HASH BROWNS are what knocked everything out of the park! Pure pefection, just a little crispy on the outside, and buttery! Added two dashes of salt and cleaned it up in 60 seconds. My other half had the Chilaquiles, which she stated were some of the BEST she has ever had. So I tried some to verify her claim and it was right. They have a little heat that builds up, but the complex, excellent flavors also make that dish a home run. Just don't mess with the cup of sauce served on the side unless you run with Habaneros or above. Service was good, and going to come back for more items. Everything else I tried was awesome. @gloriascafe.nv read more

We were visiting from out of town and stopped jere for breakfast. We had our 2 dogs with us and they have a cute little patio that is dog friendly. The service was wonderful and they even brought some water out for the pups. My favorite breakfast order when I am out is chilaquiles, so that is what I ordered. These were the best chilaquiles I have ever had. They were so delicious! My husband loved his food as well, they make their own chorizo and it was amazing as well. Next time we are back in town this is our go to spot!! read more
