You can find me at Neighborlily on any given Saturday morning—and usually a few times during the week between, too. It was a happy accident to stumble in here while I was house hunting last year, and it’s now part of my husband’s and my routine to pop in. We’ve watched it blossom from a coffee, flower, and gift shop to now being a standout café. We love seeing locals and visitors alike pop in to experience their unique drink menu and get to know the staff we’ve come to love so quickly.
The atmosphere is as warm and welcoming as the staff, the seasonal menus are as innovative as they are delectable. I usually try at least 2-3 of each season’s drink menu, but the staff knows I also very often default to the all-season signature Hey Neighbor latte (thank you for bearing with me through all my “tough decisions” that ultimately land exactly where you think they will). The maple whipped cream with smoked bourbon salt may very well have changed my life. Take that as your sign that you really can’t go wrong with the drinks!
The food menu is also wonderful. I loved how robust it was when it first rolled out, but they’ve understandably rolled it back to a smaller number of the most-ordered items. It’s a very small kitchen, but their cook does a wonderful job! The breakfast bowl with pesto ricotta is my favorite, but I love to indulge in the breakfast burrito from time-to-time, too.
Do yourself a favor and stop in next time you’re in town. I’d recommend to do it when you have time to savor the drinks and the experience. My favorite is a spring morning on their outdoor patio. Bring your pup, bring a friend, and enjoy the unique and ethereal experience that is Neighborlily!
