Nonis Coffee Shop

Love coming here for breakfast! This place is definitely worth the 20 min drive from my house. Noni’s has such a cozy feel! The place is small (there’s only about 6 six tables), but the owner has just a BIG presence (she’s such a tiny person too LOL) The service here is GREAT as well as the food. The minute you walk in, you’re greeted with a «Hello — Good Morning!» If you’re a regular, you’re remembered and greeted with your first name attached. After sitting, a waitress is at your table almost instantaneously with a menu. After your order is placed, the food comes out a short time later. The food on the menu is traditional diner food. Nothing exotic, which is one of its great qualities I feel, keeps everything simple. This place beats IHOP by a long shot, plus no long waits or crowds. Huge thumbs up to Noni’s!

Friendly staff and good, simple atmosphere. Every neighborhood needs a Noni’s. The food is decent, there are lots of regulars coming and going and the conversations give you a pulse of the neighborhood. Stop in for breakfast or lunch.

This place is a really cool neighborhood spot. Ruth is really nice and funny. They have the BEST iced coffee its more like a frappé, I don’t know how they do it but its fantastic! The food is generally good. If they seem busy you need to make any special requests very very clear. They also deliver, which is usually prompt. I really like their vegetable soup, mozzarella sticks and tuna sandwiches. Its a very friendly place and convenient if you have to use the post office. I would say the prices are about average for diners around here. Do not think they stay open past 4 or 5 tho. Its more of a breakfast place than anything else, but the ice coffee is far better than dunkin donuts and without the annoying crowds, too.

Great service and great breakfast Noni is very kind and nice plus she speaks several languages

Not the greatest. The atmosphere is very dull in there and the place doesn’t look that sanitary. I still decided to give this place a shot since I heard the food is pretty descent. But after I saw the chef flipping my eggs with the spatula and her bare hands, it was a no go for me.
Go at your own risk

This place is like a throw back to the 80s! There’s something about it that just makes you want to love the place, but the food is just ok. It’s a straight blue collar working class diner.

What establishment more represents the working man of North Riverdale than Noni’s? You know when you walk in that the customers love the place and Noni herself is an North Riverdale institution. The food is cheap, and very tasty. Granted, I have only been here for breakfast only, but will make it a point to try lunch or one of the early bird specials. Saturday mornings are a mad house here and I am sure Sundays are just as busy. Steady flow for breakfast as well… give it a shot!

After walking down Riverdale Avenue and saying I would have to have breakfast there «sometime» for about ten years, on my latest trip back home, I finally decided to pop in Noni’s little coffee shop/​diner for a Sunday brunch with my brother. The narrow restaurant seats about fifteen or twenty people, offering stools along the countertop. Even though on a Sunday afternoon there were not that many people, the space still felt cramped rather than cozy for some reason.
The menu is your standard diner menu… Eggs, pancakes, fries, coffee, etc. Neither my ham & cheese omelette nor my brother’s chocolate chip pancakes were anything to write home about, but they were edible. The service seemed friendly with the regulars. There was nothing terribly wrong with the experience, but next time I’m craving diner food though… I think I’m going to have to go with Broadway Diner or Riverdale Diner.
