Came here craving a TUNA MELT and I can easily say it’s the best I’ve had. Vice is super cozy too and they make you feel like a neighbor and friend, just like in the name. Will def. Come back

The food and drinks are delicious, the staff are warm and welcoming, and the music is wonderful!! They were softly playing Sade, Michael Jackson, defiantly good music from my generation. I'll be back for sure!

I have an annual vision board party every year a this year opted to not do it at my home. I selected this place because I wanted to do local. I wasn’t expecting much, but the food was absolutely amazing, and my friends and I are tough critics. As a creole woman, I’m telling you get the crème brûlée oatmeal. I ended up getting three sandwiches everything was so good. We are all moms and opted to order and take dinner home. The service was fantastic, and I won’t lie we enjoyed the low playing music of choice. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend.

I stopped by for lunch and had the sandwich and lemonade, both of which were absolutely delicious! What I loved most about Neighbors and Friends is their support for local women-owned businesses. I was able to pick up some amazing products like jam, candles, and a great variety of items. It’s wonderful to see a place so dedicated to uplifting the community and offering unique, high-quality goods. Highly recommend! Five stars all the way!

As soon as you walk in you feel like you’re in your “neighborhood” All the staff immediately turns to greet and welcome you. Menu is large enough to satisfy anyone’s taste. Seating area is very comfy and food/coffee are great.

I love supporting small businesses, especially women owned. Neighbors & Friends is the perfect place to come for a great meal and delicious coffee. It has a community atmosphere with a big communal table and I always leave wanting to buy all the merch and food in the display. Kaiy knew what she was doing when she opened this place. The hot and iced lattes with their unique holiday twists are yummy and I haven't had one food item that I wouldn't recommend. Don't sleep on the desserts, the lasagna or the pot pies!
