Nora opened Marigold Street in 2014 in a former print shop with terrible lighting and a great floor. We kept the floor. The cafe is deliberately built for lingering: outlets at most tables, chairs chosen for comfort over turnover, and no music loud enough to shout over. Nine of our staff have been here more than two years.
“I have written most of a dissertation at the second table by the window. Nobody has ever rushed me.”

“The tomato white bean soup is on a short list of reasons to live in this neighborhood.”

“Ordered pastry trays for a staff meeting and everything showed up warm and on time.”

Yes. Every breakfast item stays available until we lock the door, including weekends. The only exception is when a specific pastry sells out, which usually happens by noon on Saturdays.
We keep gluten-free bread for any sandwich, though it is toasted in a shared kitchen. There is always one vegan soup and two vegan plates on the menu, and oat milk is available at no extra charge.
That is what the room was built for. Outlets are at most tables and wifi is free with no time limit. We only ask that you skip the four-top by the window during the noon rush.
Yes, with 24 hours notice for platters serving 10 to 25 people. Same-day large orders sometimes work if you call before 9am and the kitchen has capacity.
Pickup orders can be placed online or by phone. Catering requests are best made by phone before 11am.
