"Super friendly staff and home-y vibes. I love their cream of wheat, it was so delicious and buttery. Not too many places serve cream of wheat. The pancakes and French toast was also really delicious. Recommend 10/10. I went during the week and it was pretty empty."

"CASH ONLY. Found out after waiting 22 min for a table. What are you going to do? Thank God there is an ATM machine in house but I was sweating worried that I may have to wash dishes after the machine won’t dispense my money after 3 tries… called my bank and retried— 😅 it worked. Machine charged me $1.75 atm service fees but at this point it is whatever… Checked in at 10:07am on that clipboard outside and finally got food on table around 11am. It’s one of those places people don’t mind and ‘feel privileged’ to wait for a spot to dine. There’s nothing wrong having to wait at a popular restaurant but just know this isn’t a get in get out place - especially if you have kids or elderly who may not do well waiting, standing in the cold. They offer free hot chocolate and coffee outside - nice gesture - while you wait. Parking is tricky. Food is generous portion and yummy. Worse thing besides not able to use credit card is ONE unisex restroom for the entire restaurant. You kidding me? Some patron started banging on the door while I was in the stall 🙄Lovely. Prices 🤑on the high side ($16-19.99) if you order the set plates. You can order make your own breakfast for just standard eggs and toast for around $8-10. But that defeats the whole purpose of enjoying the breakfast here. The wheat thing and baked apple were unique and delicious. Went there on a Sunday morning. A local friend recommended."

"Super food, super friendly staff, super atmosphere outside in the summer for breakfast. So much good stuff to say. Got the 3 scrambled eggs, with taters and linguica. Delicious. We also had the French toast which was the best we had ever had. Bread seemed so fresh and melted in your mouth. Also had the stuffed strawberry French toast which was awesome. But I like the plain French toast with maple syrup the best just because of the pure flavor. But it was all good. Had cinnamon cream of wheat, fruit cup, sausage links and patty and all was good. Links had a very good flavor to them. They also brought out a basket of buttered toast on fresh bread and a sweet cake like bread. It was so delicious. Everyone was friendly and helpful and loved explaining the Portuguese parts of the breakfast. Highly recommend this place for breakfast. Wish we here longer to go back and try the Azores breakfast."

"This restaurant is a hidden gem in the city. The grapevine covered courtyard is really lovely in the summer, it’s very pleasant to sit outside in the shade with gentle breeze. Comfortable seating, pleasant and relaxing music. Very good service, fresh and tasty food in generous portions, very reasonable prices. Very good experience overall :-)"

"Came here for breakfast with my work colleagues and initially was not hopeful to find hearty vegan options given the Portuguese cuisine. At first, I didn’t see anything on the regular menu, but luckily I asked our server and they referred me to the Vegan Breakfast Special they had! It was so delightful I was shocked- super filling, protein-rich, creative, balanced, and tasty meal of beans and rice, fried plantain, spinach, broccoli, mushroom, tomato, and tofu medley, plus home fries, and a fruit cup to start off with! I was so glad to see a dedicated vegan option clearly labeled. I hope this can become a permanent menu item. Thank you, Neighborhood Restaurant for your accommodation!"
