Absolutely incredible spot - nice, comforting space where you can relax, work, read, or chat - good wifi - nice variety of drinks and food to choose from - and above that all, the people running the cafe are just wonderful!! They make you feel right at home and so well taken care of! Love this spot, will definitely visit again soon!! PS. I ordered a salad with salmon and avocado today - it was delicious :) wish I had taken a pic, but trust me it's a good choice!!

Good location, nice atmosphere and service. The coffee is tasty, and there are good pastries and breakfast sandwiches to eat. Enough tables to do work. The place feels spacious and the internet is adequate, and the noise level is not too high. Also a good place for socializing.

It’s a cute place. Nice vibe and nice corner location. But two things didn’t work for me: the staff were being a bit roudy amongst themselves and louder than us the whole time, and they have really bad internet service. So if you’re looking for a coffee shop to escape for an hours worth of work, this ain’t the right place.

Ok seatings. Yummy sandwich, which is a great time saving if you don't want to walk away for food. Clean bathroom and all.Nice floor-to-ceiling glass, but this is also the biggest drawback. During the day noon til sundown, the sun is intense and uncomfortable.Edit: I asked the owner to lower the blind, and he did it immediately. Nice!

They make it their business to know each customer by name and welcome you in each time you come through their doors and they know what you ordered the last time and can say your order before you even tell them. These are wonderful people in a really nice little coffee shop!

Very affordable, friendly atmosphere, open when other places are closed. Good, broad menu selection. The servers are SO nice. Such a pleasure to interact with them. The ingredients are super fresh and delicious. The bread for the banh mi is clearly baked same day, and all of their vegetables are crisp and vividly colored. BE HERE

If you’re wondering if you should stop by this cafe for a coffee and a Banh mi sandwich- the answer is always YES! This place is super yummy, and the workers are kind. The atmosphere is open and friendly to all. I think I’ve brought my whole family in at this point! lol. It’s definitely worth it.

Excellent little café with a wide range of good drinks and meals (would definitely recommend a Thai iced tea with a pork banh mi). Quiet and well-situated, good place to bunker down and get work done with plenty of outlets and an abundance of natural light.

Love the ambiance and their green tea matcha's are fantastic. Go there to catch up on some work with comfortable seating and free wifi or enjoy the cars passing by while eating a vietnamese sandwich outside seating. Either way it's the perfect neighborhood shop

This wonderful cafe is my Sunday:good morning! I pass multiple coffee houses coming from miles away for the lovely service and beautiful smiles. The theater I work at is not to far from Nomad’s. I get coffee for my actors and snacks. The coffee is soooo good.

I go to Nomad cafe on the way to my meditation center across the street. Nomad's sandwiches are really good, especially Tuna Melt. I've also tried tofu Bonme, really delicious!

Good service but food is just ok. They hugely overcharge for a thin smoothie that lacked any flavor other than almond butter. Getting tired of wasting my money on useless cheap establishments that dont care about quality

Good coffee, good sandwiches, good people! You can sit down, sip on your drink and work on your laptop, they have wifi. They also have a small terrace for the summer (basically the sidewalk) but it pleasant during nice weather.

Love this place! Perfect for reading or studying. It is quiet, has decent drinks and food, and a good number of tables for a small venue. Love all the windows, and the waitstaff is super friendly. Also love the 60s protest photos from the area.
