Nosy Neighbors Coffee & Donuts is a cozy café tucked into the heart of Claremont that feels more like a community living room than a typical coffee stop. It’s the kind of place locals drop into for a caffeine fix, a quick bite, or to linger over a good book or conversation. With a location on N Yale Ave, it’s perfectly situated for morning routines or casual afternoon breaks.

The vibe here leans into an earthy, welcoming atmosphere filled with warm wood tones and plenty of green plants, creating a relaxed, unhurried environment. Unlike many chain cafés, Nosy Neighbors invites you to settle in comfortably—there’s even open restroom access without the pressure to buy, which can be a small but meaningful comfort when you’re out and about in town.

Coffee-wise, the offerings strike a playful and quality-driven balance. Expect rich, well-crafted cups from espresso classics to unique daily staples like the Butter Brew and Fruity Pebbles Cold Brews, all priced fairly for their attention to detail. The Buckeye Latte and heavy cream lattes, like their Cafe Latte, bring a creamy twist that stands out from your usual café menu. If tea's your pick, the Peach Green Tea offers a refreshing break.

When it comes to snacks, the mini donuts and funnel cakes steal the show—perfectly soft, just sweet enough, and ideal for a quick, comforting indulgence. Sample trays of mini donuts are common, reflecting the generosity and strong community feel of the staff, who often go out of their way to make visitors feel at home. Pair these with a strawberry cake or a buttery croissant to round out the experience.

This spot serves a diverse crowd: early risers grabbing an affordable latte before work, students curving into a cozy nook with study materials, friends meeting up for catch-ups, and families stopping by for kid-friendly treats. Mid-mornings and weekend afternoons tend to be lively without feeling crowded, with a steady hum of friendly chatter and the occasional burst of laughter. Staff members like Arianna, Anais, Rebecca, and Mia are noted for their approachable warmth, adding to the neighborhood feel.

Overall, Nosy Neighbors fits neatly into Claremont’s casual café scene with a specialty in thoughtful coffee blends and shareable pastries. It’s ideal for anyone looking to take a break from the day’s hustle, savor something different from the typical coffee chain roster, or find a sweet spot to connect with the local pace.

Nosy Neighbors is such a gem in Claremont. The vibe is cozy and welcoming, and the coffee is always rich and delicious. The pastries taste fresh, and the atmosphere makes you want to stay awhile. Arianna, Anais, Rebecca, and Mia are amazing…they always greet you with a smile and make you feel right at home. It is the perfect spot to catch up with a friend, read, or just relax. Definitely one of my favorite coffee shops in town!

Randomly stopped by on a Saturday afternoon for some donuts, and were greeted by amazing service. The cashier in the front gave us a generous amount of mini donut samples which were so warm and fluffy, I immediately had to buy more. We ordered a half dozen but were given so many extras!! Amazing mini donuts, a must try if you’re craving some soft, bite sized donuts!! The strawberry sugar and classic cinnamon sugar are amazing, I can’t wait to try the other flavors!

I love this place! The cafe is so nice and has an earthy feel to it that I love. If you love plants you will really like this place. Unlike Starbucks this place allow you to use the restroom without purchasing something which is really convenient. I like the friendly atmosphere and cozy furnitures here too! Definitely recommend.

I had no idea this coffee shop even existed! I was on the looking for a new spot in Claremont and stumbled upon this coffee shop gem. The best surprise? Lattes are just $2 before 9 a.m. everyday!! I made it just in time and grabbed a couple along with some mini original donuts. I tried the Coco Berry and Spanish Lattes, both were absolutely delicious, and the donuts were just as good. The service was friendly, and the decor was super charming with plants all around, giving it a cozy, vibrant vibe. The shop was busy with people enjoying their drinks and conversations, which added to the lively atmosphere. Such a great experience coming here! I’m already looking forward to going back!

I love this place, the only thing that could wake me up at 7am on a Sunday is a $2 latte their food is also fresh and super tasty, without mentioning those mini donuts! They’re addictive for sure and will make you come back.

This place is hands-down the BEST coffee shop in Claremont! I went for a private event and honestly had the best time. The drinks? Unreal. The donuts? Dangerous. The service? Legitimately out of this world. Our whole group felt like VIPs the entire night, they made us feel so welcomed and taken care of. I’m already planning my next visit and telling everyone I know to go check it out. 1000% worth the drive!
