For the Life of the World Cafe

"Farm-to-table, pay-as-you-are-able, hidden gem in West Norwood! Located in the former Speckled Bird Cafe with limited weekend hours during breakfast and brunch. Serving seasonally available fruits and vegetables in their amazing baked goods and a variety of egg dishes!"

"This cafe is run by the community, for the community… and it shows. Each one makes a point to look at you in the eye, learn your name, and ask how you’re doing. Food is spectacular (pastries are some of the best!). Great place to meet with a friend, catch your breath before starting the work day, or simply meet some new faces."

"This is a gem of Cincinnati. Robert & crew dedicate their lives to serving Norwood with delicious, wholesome, local food. They serve fantastic egg dishes, pastries, waffles, coffee, and more. I recommend the breakfast stir fry. Their model is “pay what you can,” which underscores their passion for welcoming the community. In my opinion, the food and the whole experience are worth a lot."

"Incredible. A precious gem for the city. Simple menu, delicious made-to-order food, and many ingredients are grown not “just locally,” but grown, harvested, and processed in the neighborhood this cafe is located in. Vegan options. And a pay-as-you-can model to serve all - very interesting and inspiring. Definitely a must check out spot if you’re looking for breakfast and/or a solid experience of what a truly neighborly neighborhood cafe can be."
