Nestled in Hawthorne is Nodo’s newest 50-seater cafe.

A wide-angle view of a bright, contemporary outdoor patio for a cafe or restaurant. The patio has a long, covered white ceiling with exposed beams and ceiling fans, supported by gray columns. To the left, there is a lush planter box with large, tropical green foliage separating the dining area from a narrow walkway. Patrons are seated at various tables, including a long, built-in light gray bench, enjoying a meal or drinks. Beyond the seating area, a street scene with parked cars and residential buildings is visible. To the far right, a partial view of the cafe's interior shows a tiled counter and a large wooden-framed window, with a blurred figure walking past in the foreground.
A close-up view of the modern exterior of a commercial building, featuring a wall constructed of large, light gray concrete blocks. Two square signs are mounted on the concrete; the top sign is white with a black "n." logo, and the lower sign is black with the "Ze Pickle" business name in white script. To the right, a large window allows a view into the interior, which has light wood framing and a counter faced with textured light brown brick or tile. Inside, several patrons are seated at tables under three large, white cone-shaped pendant lights. A small, round wooden table sits just outside the window on a narrow stone ledge, and to the far left, lush green landscaping and a paved parking area with a silver car are visible under a bright blue sky.

The patio has a concrete floor, a low built-in seating bench with a tan cushion, and several high, dark communal tables surrounded by stools with tan seats. A group of people is standing and sitting, socializing in the patio area. The patio opens widely to an indoor space through large glass sliding doors. The indoor area has a dramatic vaulted or cave-like ceiling with dark gray concrete walls and an illuminated bar counter visible at the back, featuring bottles on shelves. The patio space is bright, with two rectangular skylights in the white paneled ceiling, and a light gray concrete block wall on the right displaying a glowing green neon sign.
