This little cafe is an undiscovered GEM in our little town! First word review I have ever left on a restaurant since downloading doordash 5 years ago, simply because Nelly's DESERVES IT! The sandwiches are delicious, perfectly sized and PACKED with flavor without trying too hard. Their pastries like the Pastelito and Empanada are buttery, flakey and hard not to devour in seconds.
Every item i've ordered so far has been exciting without feeling too far removed from the "normal" cuisine in our part of the world.
PLEASE give this shop a chance and try one of their various Cubanos, you wont be disappointed!

Was going to go in the store in-person but I haven't found the time. Suddenly, I noticed they're on Door Dash now. Loved everything I got, the Nelly’s Cubano was magnificent, and the Empanada was filled up, so they're not trying to scam anyone! 5 out 5 will order again!

The Spicy Sunrise has great flavor and was a large sandwich. Although my husband would probably prefer his own two lighter eaters could definitely share. The sauce was delicious wish there was more but the avocado helped it not taste dry at all. Great balance of flavor definitely recommend! The Vanilla Cardamom Latte was amazing 10/10 I always want to order my coffee 1/2 sweet but then its not sweet enough and dont want to be that girl to order a 3/4 sweet! This was 3/4 sweet lol great espresso shot. Ive seen the machine they iseits topof the line. Their pastry's are great, best flan i've have amdthe steak empanadas are my fav and only $5! The people that work here are so kind and friendly one of my fav spots for sure!

I can't put into words how ridiculous the food I just inhaled was. From the fresh crisp bread to the most delectable roast pork I've ever had the pleasure of eating, to the tangy pickles, making this the most perfect Cubano sandwich in history. Then come the Empanadas (chicken and steak) with every bite being completely insane and the Pastelitos with their flakey outer pastry and delicious filling. If anyone ever leaves a bad review for Nelly's just know they were definitely born without tastebuds.

This has quickly become my *favorite* local place to drop in for lunch. The Cubano sandwich is INCREDIBLE, and so are the Empanadas - the meat is so tender and full of flavor in these as well as the Cubano. For the sweet side, the Pastelitos are the absolute best - the perfect combination of fluffy and flaky and sweet. Guava+cream cheese is my favorite (and the most popular lol I'm lucky if there are any left after 3pm) but I also love the strawberry and blueberry ones. In addition to the great food, the customer service is top-tier and they're all so nice.
Basically if you haven't tried this place, do it, you won't regret it :D
