Firstly, they have great coffee. Their coffee is like a caffeine pick me up and a dessert. If you end up going and there are no places to sit, at lest order a coffee to go. It's worth it.
The first time I came here was for lunch on a weekday, roughly around noon. Parking is ample (super fantastic!) so getting a spot wasn't difficult at all. Neighborhood Cafe has rules; such as, order first, pay, then find a seat.
Don't break the rules.
Especially when they are busy. The rules are on the front door before you walk in, so you can't miss them.
Once you've ordered, paid, given a number and found a place to it your food will come out as soon as its ready.
Here what I got to try:
Coffee Flight $17.96
Ube Biscuits & (Longanisa)Gravy $13.99
Fried Chicken Fried Steak $15.99
Chicken & Churros $15.99
The Coffee Flight came with 4 - 4oz samples of what I believe is their most popular coffee drinks. Mint Mojito, Black Sesame Latte, Ube Brulee Latte and Coconut Pandan. If you like Coffeeholic House coffee you'll surely like the Ube Brulee Latte and the Black Sesame. My Favourite was the Mint Mojito, it was a great balance of coffee and mint. Without it tasting like toothpaste.
As for eats, I believed that the Chicken & Churros was probably the best. The churros came with an ube syrup to either dunk or pour on your freshly made churros. The sauce on the chicken wings was tangy and delightful. The other two dishes were good. But the pink longanisa gravy through me off visually. It was just so pink that I kept thinking I was going to be eating a strawberry gravy. My mind just couldn't comprehend what my eyes were seeing. The garlic rice was great and everything tasted good.
After you finish, bus your own table so that it will make turn around quicker for the next people who are waiting for your table.
Keep it up Neighborhood Cafe! Can't wait to try your sandwiches next time!
