It’s with a heavy heart we announce our closing at Wet Hen Café.
We face challenging times, coupled with the stress of finding staffing and the rising costs of goods and services, so the time has come for Wet Hen to change directions.
We still welcome your business
Monday – Friday, 7am to 2pm
through our last day, Friday, April 29, 2022
Our mission was to share our passion for good food and good company, bringing our talent and personality to create something wonderful in our community. We are thankful for such an incredible opportunity.

As always the pancakes were perfect and the eggs were cooked exactly the way I wanted them. I'm not a big bacon eater but their's is very good. My wife also ordered a latte and said it was one of the best she's ever had also. Like I said, it's sad to see this place go. It's such a great atmosphere with the husband and wife owners walking around talking with their customers and enjoying everyone's patronage. If you want a piece of memorabilia, this week they're selling all the store items, but Friday the 29th is their last day. read less

I won't bother recommending any dish in particular because so far everything I've tried has been awesome. I will admit to being partial to the chocolate cressants and omelettes. For breakfast or lunch this place is well worth a visit. read less

You order your food at a counter and then they take you to your seat. The inside, while small is absolutely comfortable. And the outdoor seating area is beautiful and shaded. The food was incredible and all of it was made from scratch. The prices are very low compared to the high quality a food and customer service they provide. The owner herself was the one at the front counter and also helping expedite food. It's so nice to see an owner so involved and actually caring about their customers. We will definitely be going back and bringing more people to the Wet Hen. Honestly one of Reno's hidden gems! read less
