It's absolutely worth going out of your way to this lovely cafe that focuses on locally grown produce! We've been twice and love the farmer's plate. Kind service. Often have local produce for sale too. Card accepted. Plenty of parking.

Delightful little cafe featuring home made-hot dogs/sausages, pastries, muffins, smoothies and more. Prices are reasonable and presentation lovely. The day of my visit, there were 3 items on the lunch menu, the first and last were hot dogs, and the middle one, all in Japanese, appealed to my illiterate curiosity. Shortly after ordering, an appetizing lunch platter arrived at my table, and from there I enjoyed a smorgasbord of well executed flavors including chicken, mango chutney, dried veggies, tempura veggies (including Okinawa’s famous bitter melon), colorful rice, and a fragrant vegetable soup. I thrive on variety, and this lunch set checked all the boxes. Service was pleasant, payment was convenient (credit cards, cash, etc), and the seating area was bright and clean, with both indoor and outdoor options. Plenty of on-site parking, and a number of food-oriented shops in the same complex provide for a pleasant walk after a meal. Eager to try their home made-hot dogs and pastries, and even to repeat my lunch set, I’ll be back soon.

The hotdog plate is a regular, homemade dish. The daily lunch plate is also always delicious. Always emphasis of fresh local vegetables following the idea of direct from farm to table idea. Note that both pictures correspond to the set menus, the hotdog you get outside of the lunch hours likely will have less side dishes.

This place is right behind Neo park- literally in the middle of the park. I was surprised how great this little hidden gem is. The whole farm to table concept is really well executed - I love the fresh grocery offering and a lot of their items are made from scratch. The plating is amazing - all the colors and textures worked so well together. I highly recommend checking this place out if you are coming to Neo park.
