    Great spot if you want FOOD FOOD, with your coffee shop. They have great options to fill your belly + WiFi to work if you'd like to stay.

    I came in here for the first time right meet with a friend who lives close in the neighborhood and immediately loved the cozy atmosphere! I ordered The Launchpad sandwich, and honestly, I've never had ciabatta this good before. This was the perfect sandwich on an empty stomach. The salad had the right amount of dressing too. The Iced Raspberry Hibiscus Tea was also really good. I had a sip of my friend's and then went to the counter to order one for myself! The staff there are super friendly too. I really liked the large space inside but they also had outdoor seating. Seems like a nice study spot or a place to WFH. There's a cute community board where people post events and opportunities, right by a travel bookshelf to for any nomadic planning! Super lovely place and plan on coming back.

    This is a cute little coffee shop that I came across as I was walking in the neighborhood. Their exterior and interior were what attracted me plus I wanted something to drink. I ordered ice chai and a bagel with cream cheese. With these items , it came up to $12 something. It seems to be expensive to me but it's okay. I rarely come by this neighborhood. Their service was great. They seemed to be patient and attentive to their customers and their staffs. This place gave me a vintage/ hipster vibe. I love it!

    I am in the area very often, and always stop by Nomad to get coffee and breakfast. The barista Nicole is always so sweet and kind to me and my friends and seriously makes coming all the better. They recently added gelato and sorbet to their menus and it is so insanely good. It's super well priced and all homemade. I've gotten it a couple times and tried a lot of their more artisanal flavors. But for the summer weather, it's going to be my go-to for a sweet treat (:

    Caprese sandwich with tomato soup.
    Samantha C.

    I love when I get to grab lunch, all by myself, at places like Nomad Cafe and Eatery. It's like a mental and physical break where I can just get some me time. This cafe was the perfect spot for some reflection time. As soon as I walked in, it felt immediately cozy. Super excited to grab lunch, I browsed the sandwich menu located at the counter and decided on the Caprese sandwich as it sounded light and somewhat refreshing. Another sign at the counter said something along the lines of, "Ask what the soup of the day is"... So of course I asked! It just so happen to be tomato soup and I thought it would pair perfectly with my sandwich. After ordering both, I took a seat at the high top table where I could look out the window at the gloomy day, which wasn't looking to let up any time soon. My sandwich and tomato soup were brought out to me and it looked absolutely gorgeous. The first thing I noticed was the bread. The baguette was both crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. I believe they used beefsteak tomatoes, which is always a win in my book. They are tastier than any regular tomatoes. The balsamic dressing that was on the sandwich was delicious and there was just the right amount. Now for the tomato soup. It was OUTSTANDING. It was not so much a soup, more of a bisque, but there were bites of tomatoes and onions which I also loved. And the cheese, it wasn't too cheesy where it overpowered the tomato, there was just enough for flavor. Major kudos to the chef in the back. Rain or shine Nomad Cafe and Eatery is a great spot to check out!

    What a perfect little coffee shop! The staff was incredible with accommodating us from menu questions to bussing our table. I appreciated the clean bathroom, too. Not sure if this place was around when I was living here but I would have made this my go-to spot!

    It's a hidden gem. I live not far from this cafe and I visited today with my fiancé and our daughter. Both my fiancé and daughter ordered bacon and egg on an everything bagel with a chocolate chip muffin. I ordered the El Sol tacos. The food was absolutely delicious! There were no leftovers nor crumbs lol. I did taste the chocolate chip muffin and had a bite of the bagel and it was quite tasty. The bagel was not hard to bite into which sometimes happens when you order a toasted bagel. The atmosphere was very chill and music played. I love that it had such a cozy vibe to it. I will definitely be returning very soon! Also, the staff that was there today, were phenomenal. I wish I had gotten their names to give them a shoutout right now, but when I return; hopefully they'll be there and I'll get the names then!

    This place is a super cute find in Ridgewood ! I ordered the traveler, the presentation was beautiful and it tasted really great. This is a great spot to grab some coffee and brunch. They offer indoor and outdoor dining options. And Yes the flower is edible!

    The launchpad
    Alyssa G.

    A friend of mine is a usual of this cafe, I've passed it many times but never had gone. We decided to go, there latte menu is amazing, a very unique selection of lattes with peanut-butter and other things. They have smoothies and other drinks as well. They have a great selection of pastries including tarts and cookies things of that sort. I was hungry so I got "the launchpad" it was amazing. I like the unique kick to the names of drinks and food on the menu. They have in inside and outside seating and is a nice decorated and clean place.

    I've had Nepalese food in Jackson Heights. But I've heard many good things about this spot, so I…read moredecided to drive over to Ridgewood just to try this spot with a friend. My friend and I decided to share everything. We ordered: GARLIC NAAN 5/5 These garlic naans were probably the best we've both tried. As soon as we took a bite, we are both impressed. And to think that we would have missed out if our server didn't suggest it... These particular naans are made different from the traditional Iones. They are coated with buttery goodness and are super thin. The hummus on the side was also a very good pairing. I would recommend this app. PORK JHOL MOMO 5/5 These pork momos were also super delicious! Comparing it to the ones I've had at another restaurant, there is no overpowering cilantro in this one! The momo itself was very juicy. The flavor of the inside and the soup was delicious. Another must-get! CHICKEN KHAJA PLATTER 4/5 My friend and I were probably the least impressed with this one. A lot of the dish includes a lot of dry ingredients like popped rice & soybean seeds. They also used cold meats and veggies. It was great to try each portion of the platter, but wasn't our personal favorites of our visit here. Overall, we had a delicious lunch. We throughly enjoyed our experience here and would definitely recommend this local spot. I did think it was worth the trip over.

We tried their strawberry matcha, and it was refreshing and delicious. The café itself has a clean, modern aesthetic that's perfect for grabbing a drink or snapping a few photos. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and had our drinks ready quickly.

    Great aesthetics, but the drinks and service fell short…read more The interior of this shop is bright, clean, minimalist, and honestly super cute. (Though the tiny stools at the long table seem to favor aesthetics over actual comfort.) Parking was also fairly easy for a Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately, the first impression of the drinks didn't live up to the vibe. I ordered the Ferrero Rocher espresso latte, but it tasted nothing like chocolate or hazelnut--just straight, syrupy milk. I couldn't taste the espresso at all, which was disappointing and felt like a waste of money. My sisters are regulars here and noted that their matcha lattes were way off and not up to their usual standard either. They didn't recognize the baristas working, so it may have just been an off day with an untrained crew. That said, consistency is important. The staff working this past Sunday weren't the friendliest; I felt more like a nuisance than a welcome customer. Because my sisters usually love this place, I might give it one more shot to see if it was just a fluke, but this visit definitely wasn't worth the price.
