After a walk at the nearby Horseshoe Park, we decided to check out El Nopal Neveria for coffee... we were plesantly surprised that there was more than coffee! It's like an all-in-one food court in one place! I tried the Vietnamese Coffee made with sweet and condensed milk over ice. While my walking partners had Mexican street corn, funnel cake fries and fresh blended juice. All were tasty and fresh. They serve ice cream and sandwiches, nachos and desserts as well. It wasnt busy for a Saturday night. The space is expansive and has seating inside or out. There is a cafeteria feel with quick and friendly service.

Our newest favorite. Seriously. Stumbled across the parking lot a few weeks ago after getting tacos. Best service. Clean. Yummy coffee. All the syrups are homemade. Amazing home made ice cream. I tried the almond cherry roast and walked out with a cup! I’m not much of an ice cream girl but OH EM GEE!!! We highly recommend El Nopal no matter what you’re looking for. If you ask, you’ll even get a good book recommendation.

If you're on the hunt for a tasty snack, a sweet dessert after dinner, or just need to satisfy your sweet tooth, this spot is a must-visit. Everything we've tried here has been a hit. My personal favorites are the funnel cake fries and the Vietnamese coffee. The kids can't get enough of the homemade ice cream and crepes. And let's not forget the awesome staff who make it all happen with their top-notch customer service. Highly recommend!
