We had a great lunch here!!  Super cute cafe, a great addition to the neighborhood.  There were plenty of people, but not too crowded and there was no line.  The sandwiches were hearty and the ciabatta bread was perfect.  The herbed cream cheese was a nice complement to the BLT, whose bacon was nice and meaty and not fatty, crumbly, or greasy.  This place just felt comfortable.  There's a variety of seating from padded booths and armchairs and the artwork on the walls/ceiling was great eye-catching.  The deli/gourmet food items available for purchase were nicely displayed and a creative addition.  

Nohea is definitely a nice lunch type cafe, though they have a few breakfast sandwiches on the menu.  We didn't try the coffee or desserts either, but they looked delicious.  In reference to the other reviews, they definitely now have their espresso machine, as the drinks are on the menu.  I see a lot of promise in this new place and am glad it appears to be doing well so far!!
