"Is this Cafe Nala or Maggie's Treats? LOL. Everything that Maggie makes is unbelievably delicious. Her omelettes are SUPERB. She also makes a lot of baked goods herself every morning and I'm just floored by how good it is. You can tell she really loves her job and isn't just there to pass time. This extends to the entire staff. Kira, Oscar everyone! they're always really friendly and helpful and they seem genuinely glad to be there each and every day. I'm so happy that this is only a block away from my apartment (although it's also fairly dangerous since I'm there basically daily . I used to go to a competitor down the street who I won't name because it's not that they're bad exactly, but there's a certain moody, too cool to be kind vibe there that feels like I don't belong. For youngish single white hipsters if you will. Cafe Nala feels like it's for everyone and it's very family friendly (they're always so kind to my daughter and ask about her and our puppy whenever I go in. They even remember things that I mentioned days prior, and ask about them, like how my daughter's friend's birthday party was. I meet a lot of people in the shop who have lived in the neighborhood forever and there's an overall feeling of inclusion and camaraderie. Sorry this review is so long, but it's because Cafe Nala really is that good and I can't stop talking about it. You MUST go."

"The first time I tried to go here I had to wait for my sister to come back from a woodworking class where she built some sort of stool. She ended up staining the stool in our living room and it made the smell so strong. She said she was gonna be baxk around noon so we can go but she ended up getting back at like 130! When we got there, the kitchen literally closed after the person in front of us order. So in unlucky!! Ended up getting a coffee and a pasty but I can’t remember what it was like. So fast forward a month or so we went here again but this time left early enough around 11 to actually make it in time. First though we went to the sidecar donut shop and we thought it was closed and was shocked! But it turns out the door was heavy and we weee able to go in. Then we went to traders joe to get some ingredients but there wasn’t a way to buy a single carrot so we decided to go to alfies later instead. Once we finally get to pinwheel we were waiting in line and struggled to read the menu because my vision is kinda bad and I should consider getting lasik. The only hesitation I have is that it seems scary and I am a bit of a chicken with things going into my eyes. I was struggling on deciding behind choosing between three sandwiches of the Parisian, the Marius and Brie. Parisian seemed good but it was only ham and butter and this was the last day before my diet and I didn’t want to waste it. The Marius seemed interesting but I saw that there was olives inside but I kinda wanted tuna. The Brie also looked good but I was worried my gf was going to yell at me for eating so much cheese since my face was sensitive and it’s causing me pimples. Like there was one week where I was eating lasagna and pizza a lot and then my face started breaking out which I got in trouble for. In the ended up choosing Brie and pretended it wasn’t cheese but she noticed and said she Wander bros me and can’t blame her for it. I also saw a little puppy next to us that only wanted to lick a bluebery and didn’t actually eat. Haha what a lil dummy"
