This cafe is run by the community, for the community… and it shows. Each one makes a point to look at you in the eye, learn your name, and ask how you’re doing.Food is spectacular (pastries are some of the best!).Great place to meet with a friend, catch your breath before starting the work day, or simply meet some new faces.Vegetarian options: Very accommodating to vegetarian diet!Kid-friendliness: The atmosphere is very family-friendly. A great place to bring your kiddos!

This is a gem of Cincinnati. Robert & crew dedicate their lives to serving Norwood with delicious, wholesome, local food.They serve fantastic egg dishes, pastries, waffles, coffee, and more. I recommend the breakfast stir fry.Their model is “pay what you can,” which underscores their passion for welcoming the community. In my opinion, the food and the whole experience are worth a lot.

It is a great Christian atmosphere. The waffles are my favorite out of any waffles I've ever had so worth the donation that we gave. I'm very pleased we are reoccurring customers. We keep going back because it's a overall amazing place. God bless the people who run the Cafe.Kid-friendliness: Kids and adults have an oppriate atmosphere to give thanks and help end hunger for the less fortunate.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

Incredible. A precious gem for the city. Simple menu, delicious made-to-order food, and many ingredients are grown not “just locally,” but grown, harvested, and processed in the neighborhood this cafe is located in. Vegan options. And a pay-as-you-can model to serve all - very interesting and inspiring.Definitely a must check out spot if you’re looking for breakfast and/or a solid experience of what a truly neighborly neighborhood cafe can be.Kid-friendliness: Always see kids present. Lots of families in and out.Parking: Small lot with plenty of street parking.Dietary restrictions: Vegan options.

The ingredients are grown right in the neighborhood, and it's a great place to meet or make friends. Plus, it's pay-as-you-can, making it accessible to everyone.
