Extremely friendly staff and an impressive selection of breakfast and lunch items. I am a long term customer of Nero's Cafe and recommend it. The cafe was completely remodeled in 2021, and now accepts credit cards as well as having multiple delivery options. If in a hurry, they have many items that are pre made and sold by weight.

We went to work in the cafe, but it's not ideal for that purpose. There was Fox News playing on the TV. The staff lowered the volume at our request (we were the only customers) but said the owner doesn't allow turning it off. The server was friendly, and food was decent. The plates were Styrofoam and utensils were plastic, which I felt uncomfortable using. I used the utensils I carry with me. No reusable mugs, plates, or utensils for dining in. It seems like a place more suitable for picking up breakfast sandwishes or deli food for dinner (like sautéed broccoli or penne pasta, all chilled). Vegetarian options: Broccoli, pasta, bagels, etc.

Most of the drinks are focused on Nitro coffee so it’s good if you want an iced drink. They don’t carry mugs “for here” only take-away disposable cups so you should bring your own mug with you. They have like every kind of Snapple in their fridge and Coke products. Stays open later than other places in the area and the Wi-Fi is fast. It stayed nice and quiet here with only a couple of customers coming in to get stuff to-go. Only the TV with the news on and an occasional take out order paying. The heat was a on nice temperature and there were poinsettia flowers around for the holidays. There is Wi-Fi. Someone in another review complained that this isn’t a good place to work in a cafe; i disagree. It is a good place to work on a laptop. It has background noise similar to anywhere else you’d go that isn’t your own office. There are only a couple of outlets though so come already charged. Everything is reasonably priced in my opinion and there is also an ATM in here too. The restroom seems to be down the hallway a bit and not in this cafe.
