The story

From the owner

Café Nouveau serves breakfast, brunch, and dinner in a sunlit, welcoming space on Thompson Boulevard.

The menu balances comforting classics with creative twists—think maple bacon beignets, house-made breakfast tacos, and French toast alongside fresh salads and pumpkin biscuits. The outdoor patio is thoughtfully designed with private nooks, and there's dog-friendly seating. Service is attentive and genuine. Coffee, cocktails, and fresh-squeezed mimosas round out the offering. They're open mornings until 2 p.m. weekdays and weekends, then reopen for dinner Thursday through Sunday. Parking requires a bit of hunting, but it's free.
