| - Neighbors is a welcome sight in the very up-and-coming area of the Southwest. The brightly lit white interior is very reminiscent of my days visiting coffee shops in LA, particularly Silver Lake. Minus the rude baristas.
Their menu is kept simple with a few healthy options, griddle toasts and traditional breakfast fare. I was a particular fan of the chicken and waffles and enjoyed the cornflake crusted tenders with the sweet chili maple drizzle. The savory chive waffles were a bit disappointing with how soggy the waffles got, and how I didn't particularly taste the chive element. But, I was very pleasantly surprised by the breakfast diversity with the shakshouka, a traditionally Middle Eastern and North African dish.
For sweets, I loved the coconut pancakes (mostly because I'm a fan of coconuts). The stacks were fluffy and there was a generous amount of blueberries, lemon syrup, and honey whipped butter. As for their specialty coffees, their lattes are more on the sweeter side, but the lavender did taste good. They have plenty of outlets and USB plugs on their walls, but the atmosphere is a little bit too loud for reading or studying IMO.
