First time at this hidden gem! Loved the mixed menu, food was great, out hot and fast, and at that price... can not be beat! Stop by if you are in the area, very worth it. I got the tacos, a side of fries, and a Vietnamese coffee. It was tasty AND filling. I took home my leftovers. Additionally, they had tasty bakery items. The cookies were so soft!

Ample parking when we arrived and more than enough indoor seating. GREAT customer service. :)

I worked with The Neighborhood Cafe, specifically Joe and Chef Eddie, to cater my wedding, and they did an incredible job from start to finish. They created a custom, gluten free menu based on all of our favorite foods and were thoughtful about helping us stay within budget without compromising quality or flavor.

The serving sizes were generous. We had plenty of food left over, and guests were able to go back for seconds and thirds. What really stood out was...

This hidden gem has become my go-to morning spot. Their pour-over coffee is meticulously prepared, and the baristas remember regular customers’ orders. The atmosphere is cozy with plenty of natural light and comfortable seating for working remotely.
