The Neighborhood Cafe

Hands down! My favorite place to come visit. There are a lot of great things about it! 1. Location: In the middle of City Heights and there is a parking lot with LOTS of parking. It's a small space but not too difficult to spot 2. Food: IS DELICIOUS. I get try to different foods from all different cultures. My favorite is the Loco Moco and Thai Chicken Salad, HOWEVER, I almost ALWAYS come here and order the Bev's Shake 3. Price: AMAZING! For the portion size and the types of food I am getting, totally worth it 4. Service: The staff and the serve are amazing and sweet. The amazing thing is that it hires teens from the neighborhood to teach them skills/earn income at the same time. I love the mission of UPAC and what this little cafe represents. Sometimes, I come and just sit to look at the mural and how it encompasses the values of City Heights is through the diversity.

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.

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 got an iced chai and a breakfast burrito. Pretty good and reasonably priced. Staff is nice.

I joined someone for lunch. Unfortunately, I was unable to partake due to an onion allergy.... But my brother, thoroughly enjoyed the food.... I did eat some french fries. They were shoestring french fries cooked very, well. I enjoyed them. And I love fries. People mess up fries all the time. Establishment was clean and staff was very, very nice.

Where else can you get delicious Thai chicken, a breakfast burrito, a coconut sambusa, or Ugandan breakfast wrap in one place all for an affordable price? Generous sized smoothies, great coffee. Can only recommend everyone heads over there for breakfast or lunch

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 how thorough they were in the planning process. Joe and Chef Eddie visited the venue ahead of time to anticipate any delivery or setup challenges, and they helped me figure out exactly how many chafing dishes, hot boxes, and other pieces of equipment we would need to keep everything running smoothly. I couldn’t be happier with the experience. If you’re looking for reliable, professional, and genuinely thoughtful catering, I highly recommend The Neighborhood Cafe.
