Névé stands out from the many other cafés on the Plateau by focussing on serving carefully prepared high quality coffee. They serve coffee made from 49th Parallel beans (which can also be purchased to brew at home). There are also cookies, patisseries and sandwiches available, although while reasonably tasty, these don't represent quite as good value as the coffee.
The interior seating is a mix of shared tables and benches, intriguing-yet-precarious bar stools fashioned from bicycle parts, in addition to a couple of comfortable couches. The couches are bathed in sunshine on sunny days, and provide a perfect vantage point for people watching. Névé's clientele reflects the neighbourhood, relatively young and trendy. There is free wireless internet available, and it appears to be a popular local café for laptop users.
Basically the draw at Névé is the coffee. Besides that, it's a pleasant spot on the Plateau, like others in the neighbourhood.
