Pneumatic Diner
A kitschy hit with Reno locals, the Pneumatic Diner is an off-the-beaten-path, vegan-friendly eatery and coffee shop. The Pneumatic Diner does not accept reservations or credit cards, so be sure to bring cash and have a little time to spare waiting for a table if you plan to eat in. Stop in on Sunday morning and try the diner's hailed vegan waffles, only available until noon.
