Pleased to have found this cafe . One of the better in the area. Very Easy to get parking too.
Welcoming ambience , Great working space, strong coffee, lots of seating , outlets and WiFi. Was able to get great work done here.
Unfortunately the cafe has decided that in 40° to not put their heat on, thus it was so cold in there I had to leave.
Had a lox salmon bagel and a coffee and it was 25$. Yummy but nothing special. Most their menu items around that rate too . I’ve Been to a lot of cafes, this is Definitely priced too high.
Aside from freezing and pricy, I will be back, the customer service, cleanliness, and cafe atmosphere was great enough to overlook other issues.

Wonderful space, everyone is friendly and nice and the food is pretty good, fresh biscuits, well cooked bacon, on a fluffy bed of eggs and gouda. Absolute perfection. The music is good too.

I heard of this spot from a 20 second Tik Tok video and was blown away by my own experience. It felt warm and welcoming at the door with beautiful black smiles behind the counter and classic songs that made me go back and add to my Spotify. I ordered the Cajun shrimp and grits and I cleaned the bowl. The beautiful barista then recommended her favorite coffee drink which came warm in a cozy big mug. There’s plenty of seating, options to eat and drink, snacks and pastries, and free ice water. The WiFi was glitching on my laptop but everyone seemed to have no issues with WiFi. Plants, posters, and a clean place to get away and chat or do work. The only thing missing was someone’s grandma going around with kisses lol. The coziest spot. Will definitely return with plans on familiarizing myself with staff and locals! 30/10, just stop by! HOWEVER, the employee who came on the 12PM shift, lightskin female with two natural buns or puffs on 9/9 made the place cold on her immediate entrance. Her approach to a client at 1:11PM about needing to order to dine was distasteful, he wasn’t at the establishment more than 2 full minutes before she noticed his outside coffee and assumed he would not spend money with the establishment and barged outside to tensely confront him. Even her response to a vegetarian customer returning a meat dish was cold and transactional. No apology, just coldly collected the plate and with a odd grin returned with the correct dish. Outside of the employee, who also restocked the red straws with no gloves nor clean hands.. the café is a heart throb.
Staff who took my coffee order were kind. Woman with braids walks in and yells “HEY!” To her staff pointing at me, then loudly says to me, “you can sit here but you can’t work here.” (I was on my computer) I have been in customer service for 20 years, I manage a restaurant currently. I’m the first person who understands rules and regulations beyond reasons I understand, but it’s about delivery. Plus I had already been sitting for 15 mins and nobody said anything. It was rude and embarrassing. I ended up just leaving without doing anything I had intended, thankfully my coffee was already Togo or I would have left it. I won’t be back, even though I’ve been several times before.

I'm surprised that I haven't posted a review about NBHD yet. NBHD has become a great part of my life in 2025 and I'm so appreciative for this place and the people. I spend a lot of time here, when I need to get away from my apartment and get some work done or just relax. The atmosphere is great and the music is always the best. The food is superrrr good (to be honest I'm mostly talking about the shrimp po boy because it's all I ever order - I need to branch out). The people who work here are super nice and it's just a great place. I don't live in the neighborhood but I travel down here just to spend time at NBHD 👍👍👍👍
