Neighbors & Friends Cafe
88 Union St, South Pasadena, CA
Crema's Take
“This South Pasadena neighborhood gem lives up to its name with a genuinely warm staff that greets you like an old friend the moment you walk in, making it the perfect spot whether you're settling in with your laptop or hosting a vision board party. Their sandwiches—from the standout tuna melt to fresh turkey focaccia—are crafted with real care and pair beautifully with traditional coffee drinks, all while Sade and Michael Jackson drift through a cozy space that somehow feels like *your* spot. It's the kind of place that transforms a casual coffee run into a small moment of community, with a menu and atmosphere generous enough to keep everyone happy.”

Came here craving a TUNA MELT and I can easily say it’s the best I’ve had. Vice is super cozy too and they make you feel like a neighbor and friend, just like in the name. Will def. Come back
As soon as you walk in you feel like you’re in your “neighborhood” All the staff immediately turns to greet and welcome you. Menu is large enough to satisfy anyone’s taste. Seating area is very comfy and food/coffee are great.
I have an annual vision board party every year a this year opted to not do it at my home. I selected this place because I wanted to do local. I wasn’t expecting much, but the food was absolutely amazing, and my friends and I are tough critics. As a creole woman, I’m telling you get the crème brûlée oatmeal. I ended up getting three sandwiches everything was so good. We are all moms and opted to order and take dinner home. The service was fantastic, and I won’t lie we enjoyed the low playing music of choice. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend.
The food and drinks are delicious, the staff are warm and welcoming, and the music is wonderful!! They were softly playing Sade, Michael Jackson, defiantly good music from my generation. I'll be back for sure!
Loveeee Neighbors & Friends! New fave spot and will be excited to go back and try more. Had the turkey on focaccia and it was perfect, so fresh and delicious. Really great vibes inside and I can tell they use quality ingredients. Highly recommend!
