Rooted in Newberry
More Than a Café, Part of the Community
Laila’s Place has become part of Newberry’s daily rhythm. In the mornings, regulars grab coffee and breakfast. At lunchtime, coworkers gather for sandwiches and hot plates. On weekends, families line up for donuts and ice cream.
No matter when you visit, you’ll always find the same things: food made from scratch, portions that fill you up, and service that makes you feel like family. That’s what hometown hospitality means to us.
From Hot Lunches to Donuts on the Weekend

At Laila’s Place, every detail — from the way recipes are made to the way guests are greeted — is rooted in the belief that food should be personal. We don’t just serve meals; we create moments that bring neighbors together and turn first-time visitors into regulars.
