My wife and I come here every time we need photos for visas or passports. Ivana is incredibly reliable and always makes sure the photos meet the exact requirements for different countries, which takes a lot of stress out of the process. I recently came in for my India passport renewal, and Ivana was amazing. I brought my laptop, and she walked me through everything step by step. I was able to complete the entire application in about an hour. What really stood out is how convenient everything is in one place. Photos, printouts, notary, and even courier service were all handled right there. It made what is usually a painful process feel easy and smooth. Ivana was kind, patient, and genuinely helpful throughout. Highly recommend this place. read more

Great Service - kind and friendly. They are open on Saturdays which is very convenient! Went in to get a passport photo and the service was quick. Ivana Nichkawde prefers cash but also accepts Venmo. I've continued to visit her for other services like Notary and passport renewal - she is patient and helpful. read more

Amazing service always ! Ivana is extremely helpful and quick with getting things done ! One stop shop for photos, photocopying, and notarization read more

Came here to get fingerprinting done to be an overnight chaperone for my daughter's school. The lady who helped me out was very welcoming and kind, providing me guidance on how the whole process was. The whole fingerprinting process was quick and easy; not even 10 minutes, and that is including her inputting my information into the system. Just an fyi, they do not accept credit cards.. only cash, zelle and venmo. read more

Been using this business for years and always very helpful and courteous. The lady who runs the business is super sweet and professional Always helpful whether it's Notary, passport photos, UPS shipping read more

Ivana is always on top of things, she is very kind and helpful, I would recommend this business to anyone! The shop has so many services to offer and very reasonably priced. Donna read more

Well, it's been over 7 years now and I'm still a customer here. I've been very happy having my mail and packages come here with no problems at all. I also don't own a printer anymore so whenever I need documents printed it's so easy just to send it to her by email and then she prints it and I pick it up. If something needs to be signed and sent to someone, I sign it there and she scans the document and send it to my email for me to use as needed. It's very convenient. Owner is a very sweet person as well. read more

So I have a P.O. box here and I don't get much mail sent to it so I probably come in maybe once or twice a year but every time I do it's always a joy seeing Ivana. It's just a really nice feeling when a business owner remembers you by name and P.O. box number (I can't even remember my own box number without looking for it in my notes app lol) and treats you like a regular, especially when they rarely ever see you. I really enjoy chatting with her when the shop is empty but even when it's super busy she delivers fast and high quality service with a smile. She's genuinely the sweetest and she makes mundane tasks like checking my mailbox or picking up packages enjoyable. On top of that, the price for their services are very reasonable. Can't recommend this place enough read more

I've been here twice to do my fingerprinting, and both times were quick and easy. The lady that works there is really nice and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking to get the fingerprinting done or other services! :) read more

Would highly recommend this place if you need passport or PAN card photos. The lady is very patient and knowledgeable. Service is really good. Good value for the services provided. I use it for courier service ( including DHL). read more

I experienced such kind and friendly customer service here. I came in for a digital passport photo. The price was very reasonable. She placed attention to the small details in order to capture a good passport photo such as hair placement and facial positioning. The timeframe everything took was very efficient; I arrived on a Tuesday morning shortly after they opened, it was the best time. Great service! read more

Excellent services! Used notary, shipping, passport photos. All very reasonable prices and great service!

I have had at least 5 fingerprinting experiences in the past 10 years. My last one had a very uncomfortable man who took 20-30 minutes to get me fingerprinted. He did not give instructions and I felt odd to go into the store as a Asian lady. But, here, at Niche Business Cafe, I came here for Livescan finger printing services and I had a wonderful visit. It was organized and orderly. The lady that helped me get fingerprinted was nice. She made it easy for me amd let me know when I came in to wait while she finished up with 2 customers. Then, she took my form, told me the cost, gave me lotion to get better prints, and guided me during the fingerprinting. It was quick. I will definitely come back to Niche Business Cafe to get fingerprinted because of this ease of service. read more

AMAZING! Above and beyond. Very professional and great quality service and pictures. Definitely recommend for taking passport pictures.

Quick, clear instructions, transparent pricing, helpful and respectful during interactions. Intensively shipping made easy.

We've had all our passport photos taken here (including our 5 weeks old's) and love how efficient it has been! It's a one-woman show and it's amazing how patiently the owner gets everything done. Our photos have always been great, she also sends a digital copy to you immediately and seems like a very kind and a nice person. Definitely value for money. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

I really like how this place is open on Saturdays. Their shop is located on the same side of the street as Lucky's, Menchies and Starbucks. Once you get in the shopping center, go towards where Lucky's is and make a right to see a smaller shopping area. They are in between the pizza place and the tire place. I'm not sure why it's called a "Cafe" as there are no coffee or drinks for sale here. We had the chance to use their service since my son needed to renew his passport since it was about to expire. We decided to take him here on Saturday morning to get his photo taken and we were acknowledged by the lady and also by the gentleman working there. They were both very nice and accommodating. The process was very quick and the lady that took his photo even showed me how to fix his hair and got my approval on the photo that she took before developing it. They conveniently have a mirror for last minute check. Being a teen, my son has a little bit of acne on his face but it didn't show on the photo which my son really like and he was originally concerned about this. You get charge $1 extra if you pay with a credit card so better to bring cash with you to avoid the additional cost. We were originally going to go to CVS but it turned out the price is a little cheaper here and I liked the quality of how it came out. I thought it was worth it coming here and when it comes time to renew our passport, we know exactly where to go. read more

Niche Business Cafe - Passport photo time - Notaries Near Me - Fremont, California

[Pandemic review] I feel like it is really unfortunate that I have to update what was a glowing review, but Ivana working is basically never wearing a mask, and I feel like people deserve to know that before coming and making the decision to expose themselves. Everything I said about the excellent customer service besides that still stands, but at a much bigger distance. read more

I needed to get my fingerprints done and found this place via Yelp, which was close by to me. I came around 5:30 in the afternoon and there were 2 customers ahead of me. Ivanna asked me if I needed fingerprinting (maybe it was the form I was holding, lol) and I said yes. She told me to take a seat and she would be with me. Prior to the start of the fingerprinting, Ivanna gave me some lotion. I usually have a hard time with fingerprinting and have actually have to go back for second round (due to lots of handwashing and eczema, my skin is prone to being dry). But I was amazed when I saw my prints were easily reading. After Ivanna was done with the fingerprint scanning, she even offered to fax my prints. Awesome! I like she was able to anticipate my need. While she did fingerprinting, she was able to multitask and address the customers coming in and let them know their estimated wait time. When Ivanna gave me reciept, she also mentioned I could go on the Breeze website and use the ATI number to look up my information! Again, appreciate the anticipation of needs! Overall, very impressed with the service - attentive and quick. I will definitely come back here for office needs like printing, which I saw they do! read more

I went to Niche Business Cafe today for a LiveScan fingerprint. There was one person in front of me, so I sat down one of several chairs in the waiting area. After a few minutes, Ivana scanned my fingerprints. Ivana knew exactly how to roll my fingers so the machine would register them. Ivana was professional, efficient, and considerate. This is the kind of awesome mom/pop small businesses that I love to patronize. Thanks, Ivana! read more

This has been our go to place for passport photos, notary and mailing out documents since last 2 years. The lady is really friendly and goes above and beyond to get the perfect passport photos. You can definitely feel the difference in quality between the passport photos taken here vs places like CVS/Walgreens. Would highly recommend this place read more

Really bad and rude service from Ivana today. She rolled her eyes at me many times when I just asked to check if the email has been sent. I don't know what her problem is. I had asked her very nicely. She should not be in a customer-facing role if she cannot show basic respect for customers. People like her really hurt small businesses. I hope you will find people who have more empathy and kindness for customers. She was so disrespectful and because of her, I had a terrible experience and would never return. read more

Niche Business Cafe - Ivana has horrible customer service and hurts the reputation of your business - Notaries Near Me - Fremont, California

In an effort to support small businesses in Fremont, we went to Niche to get our passport photos. This was our first visit and I realized they offer a wide range of businesses services. The lady was very professional and efficient. We were out in no time and are happy with the images. read more

Super friendly staff. We needed to get some papers mailed out in an envelope and it was an easy process here. We were able to purchase the envelope here. They also do passport photos and much much more. They take card as well as cash but minimum purchase for card is $5. I would definitely come back here. read more

One stop shop they offer so many services for passport photos , notary , shipping etc... I come her for fingerprinting

Called to get information about a package I was expecting and was rushed off the phone by an employee that refused to answer my questions and treated me like an inconvenience instead of a customer stating that they have customers in the store, like who the @#$& am I, if not a customer. Didn't take the time to answer basic questions like "when can I come pick up my package" read more

Came to get new passport photos and it took only 5 minute per person from start to finish. Extremely nice and professional!

I learned of this business through a friend when I complained about the service at some of the nationally known franchises. I was immediately impressed with the individual attention shown to each customer, even if it was just to acknowledge their presence with an assurance that they'd be taken care of soon. I was there yesterday, needing to get notarized statements in order to obtain a death certificate. And when I slid my credit card across the counter to pay for the three forms, she slid it right back, saying "my mother taught me a long time, ago, you don't make money off the death of another". I was so touched. And happy to do business with people who see the themselves and their customers as part of a community. read more

I struggled to find a place that will take Canadian Citizenship Photographs around the East Bay area. Niche Business Cafe came to the rescue. Ivana knew exactly what I needed before I even asked her. I just showed her the dimensions of the photo I needed, and she knew right away it's for Canada. She managed to get my 1 yr old to smile in the picture and to actually stay still for his photo. My son absolutely loved her :). We were in and out in less than 10 minutes. They are super fast, very professional, super courteous and extremely patient and nice. There is no other place I would go to for Government Photos, sending packages etc.. I Highly recommend this place and Ivana is the Best!!!! 10/10 read more

I used their services 2 times. Both times, I have an excellent experience. They exactly know what is needed for passport photos, cheaper than Walgreen or CVS photo services. Cheaper than FedEx for fedex itself. It is a one stop shop for all your need related to visa/passport/courier experience. read more

We have been doing business with this family ever since they opened their shop there. They are Wonderful folks, who really care about their customers... they have a huge range of services available, and they handle everything smoothly and easily, with no hassles. We are grateful to have them available to us, and I hope they thrive there for many years to come!! read more

This place is great!!! All in one stop. Passport photos and shipping. We've been using them for years. I think it's family run and they are always courteous and polite read more

Had to get fingerprinted for a city job. Owner is working by herself. She's very patient and helpful. Only issue is she doesn't wear a mask but there could be a medical or religious belief. read more

This is my #1 choice for fingerprinting now! I have come several times and Ivana is always so kind, patient, and efficient. She is usually the only employee so you may have wait times but the office is a lovely environment so I don't mind. She also gets through everyone fast without reducing the quality or kindness of her work. She prefers cash or venmo but takes other payment forms as well. Highly recommend! read more

Excellent quick courteous service for passport pic. Quite impressive. Surely like to support such local business. read more

What a terrific independent business! Great service, design assistance and timely production created a WIN/WIN. I'm already recommending them to other businesses for their signs and other collaterals. I'm happy to find that Niche Business Cafe provides other services besides collateral material production. Package shipment, printing services, as well as other business services. See their website for the complete list! read more

Needed a live scan service for my license and came to Niche Business Cafe because I needed it done ASAP and they were the first business that I saw on the list. Service was great and the process was quick! I Took off one star because we are still in a pandemic and the lady behind the counter was not wearing a mask, plus it smelt like acetone in there. read more

We needed Canadian passport photos and found this place on Yelp. Ivana was super helpful and thorough. Would highly recommend this place.

I walked in for a live scan and had a great experience! They also offer a bunch of other services. The process was quick and efficient. It was definitely a comfortable fingerprinting experience- other places are not as clear with instructions. The person that helped me with live scan was very nice! 10/10 would recommend. read more

This review is definitely overdue - I have been coming here for years, and for the past year have been dropping off all of my business orders at Niche Business Cafe. I also have a mailbox as well! Additionally I have also used their live scan services as well as their printing & shipping services. Ivana is AMAZING! She always helps me with everything I need in shipping & she's very easy to talk to. If you ever have a question or concern, you can always let her know! Ever since the pandemic, Niche Business Cafe has followed all COVID procedures. I always feel safe when I go in (and I go in about once or twice a week). The door is always open so I never have to touch the door, Ivana handles all of my packages for me once I drop them off so it's a no contact delivery. Plus everyone that works there always wears a mask, there's hand sanitizer on the table, and everyone maintains their distance. Sometimes the store can be busy (because they offer so many great services! And can I just add, I am so happy to see them busy because they really do deserve the business) --if you're in a hurry, you can call her and ask her what time is best to come in & she will happily let you know. When it is busy, everyone is socially distanced and if needed, some may wait outside. There's enough space inside to safely distance from quite a few people. Everyone that works in this store is extremely kind and helpful + they make me feel like I can safely run my small business during COVID. I actually HATE it when I have to go to the post office, because I'm not able to do a no contact drop off (when you got to the post office you have to touch the door, the drop box, and sometimes the plastic shield depending on how big the package is). Here, I can do a no contact drop off! Thank you so much Ivana!! read more
