I had a wonderful experience. The coffee was exceptional—rich and flavorful, no sugar needed. The food was delicious; my meal and my wife’s both earned an 8 out of 10. My son absolutely loved his pancakes and wants to get them again. The service was great, and the atmosphere was welcoming and modern. We enjoyed playing games like tic-tac-toe, which you can pick up and bring to your table. There’s a variety of treats, and the outdoor seating is perfect for warmer days. We’re excited to return for breakfast and try the French toast and pancakes again!

What I love about this place is how friendly and accommodating the staff are. My favorite drink here which is off menu is the iced nutella latte. The place is also big and they have great food.

Nova is a breath of fresh air! The place is spotless and everything is beyond appetizing. I love the vibe when you walk inside. It’s hard to believe that you are not in some tropical vacation destination. Everyone is friendly and the food is extraordinarily delicious. Lucia treated me like a member of the family. I highly recommend this place and cannot wait to get back and explore the menu. I had an omelette with spinach, mushrooms, and cheese. It comes with your choice of starch and I picked home fries. You also get a side order of toast. The coffee is amongst the best I have ever had. This place is top notch. Go to Nova’s today! You will love it! God Bless America! God Bless Blue & Gold! Remember Everyone Deployed Everyday!

Very friendly and helpful staff. The food was delicious and I would definitely recommend it. The potatoes with the omelet were nice and crispy on the outside it was a nice touch. I enjoyed my meal however I can admit the coffee was not my favorite neither was the latte both seemed a little off.
