Chive Café & Catering

Known For
Seasonal lunch plates that rival dinner spots across the river
Chive Café & Catering has developed a devoted following by treating lunch with the same seriousness most places reserve for dinner, all inside a space where exposed brick gives the room real warmth. It's a local favorite that rarely gets credit outside the area.
🕐Best time to visit: just before the midday rush clears the daily specials board
Our Take
Chive's sunlit corner seat situation is the kind of detail that gets talked about — warm light, espresso pulled with care, and a room that makes you want to linger over your laptop or a good conversation. The review count backs up the love, making it one of the more reliable picks in the area.
