Nice little mom and pop joint. The 3 meat burrito was really good and well balanced with the ingredients. Would come back to try their famous fried chicken
100/10!! Delicious, a must try if you're in the area. The staff was incredibly friendly, the inside is small, but do not underestimate this place. Was recommended by a friend and well worth it! We will return.
Good Grub, Southern Comfort Soul food! My friend had the Chicken and Waffles, which is their signature dish. Enjoy for breakfast, lunch or dinner! I'm not judging, any time is the right time for this one! I had the Pulled Pork on a sesame seed bun with mild sauce. The meat was tender and delicious. For the side dish I had a scoop of their Mac n Cheese, reminds me of my Grandmother's cooking. I also had onion rings, which were perfectly seasoned and not oily or greasy. This little cafe is small, but their home-cooking and family recipes pack a big punch! They are so nice and helped me make my decision because there was so many of my favorites it was not easy to choose (shrimp, ribs and hot links!!). Street parking is limited, they do not have a private lot, there is a parking structure one block north, its easy to find across from the Metrolink train station. Check out their schedule and plan your day/time to try for yourself. Sincerely, Rosemary
A gem! Need to return to try their catfish Big daddy burrito w turkey bacon, pulled pork, and brisket, steaming hot, packed w meat, egg, crispy hash brown, and cheese for only $15.95! Comes w 3 salsas which fell short but easily will overlook that
BB's Cafe reminds me of going to a family friends cook out. They serve you the freshly made food in bio degradable plates and I think it adds to the family cook out feel. I ordered the entree waffle and the pulled pork breakfast burrito. Both were delicious! The waffle was warm and the breakfast burrito was a unique soulfood-Mexican fusion that works really well! The location is right off the street, so it is convenient to pull up and grab your to go order. They have a clean sitting area, and have flyers for local events that I appreciate too. You can tell it's a positive business to the local community. The staff is friendly and helps you make decisions if you're a first time customer. They recommend the chicken and waffles and breakfast burritos. The only thing I would have liked was to have water with ice. They only have canned beverages and bottled water. I'm not a big soft drink person, so having water with ice would have been nice.
Called to make an order! Had it ready at the exact time i got there! Ordered a pupled pork sandwich combo with fries and mac and cheese. The pulled pork was so juicy and flavorful. I like that they had pickles on the side (also good). The fries were well seasoned. The mac was super cheasy and perfectly spiced. Definitely will be coming back to try more!
Food and service is good! Always driven by this place and for my first time it's gotta a real home feel to it.
We decided to come here after church because of yelp review. It did not frustrate our expectations. The food is great. The chicken, waffle, and fries. They have limited seating that can only occupy 12 people on three tables. But service rendered by DK is awesome. The price for the food we eat is considerably cheap. I will give this experience with 4.8.
The food is wonderful! Freshly cooked crispy chicken and waffles reminded me of my Nana and my Mom's cooking. We used their catering service to get a pan of prepared uncooked Mac and cheese for our family's Easter celebration. The directions were spot on. Our family recommends the sweet potatoes and greens too!
BB's Cafe serves fresh ingredients and cooks to order. The Chicken (4 pieces) & Waffle costs $14.95. There's no line, and I waited 11 minutes. I arrived 9AM on a weekend. The chicken is freshly cooked. The skin is lightly crisp and dry. The chicken is not oily; rather, the ingredients taste clean and fresh. The pieces are small, and its bone is thick. The chicken had very little seasoning. It's a freshly cooked chicken with little flavor. The warm, thick waffle is more memorable than the chicken. The waffle is firm, fluffy, and filling. The melted butter and syrup added to the waffle's savory taste. BB's Cafe is small. There's three small tables with chairs inside. There's no bathroom for customers; the server recommended walking across the street to use the park's bathroom. Thankfully, they provide a tiny hand-wipe for customers to wipe their hands. Also, BB's Cafe does not offer water in a cup; if customers want water, they need to purchase a water bottle. In addition, the indoor dining area is chilly from the open door. Bring a jacket if you want to eat inside this winter. And parking is very limited. If customers can't find nearby street parking, customers must park across the street and walk over. I recommend ordering to-go. The staff is welcoming and friendly. They greet the customer as you enter and leave. Overall, BB's Cafe is a good experience. The food is fresh. It's not unique, memorable food, but it's a satisfying bite.
Finally gave BB's Cafe a try after bookmarking for some time. I kept this spot in mind for their chicken and waffle, so that's what I ordered personally for myself. There were 4 pieces of chicken and those were crispy. Butter and syrup were provided in separate containers since I ordered as takeout. I also got a breakfast burrito w/ bacon and turkey with no green onions for my friend. My friend ended up loving the burrito! I went close to around 1:30 pm on the weekend so it wasn't busy at that time. It took a few minutes for the order to be ready. The store itself was a small spot that is ideal for groups or 4 or less and takeout. There is street parking right at front but I had to park near the downtown area and walk over. American Express is accepted here. read more

LOVE BB's Cafe! This place never misses the mark! I ordered the Chicken and Waffle, my usual, and it was as delicious as ever. The waffle was light and fluffy & I can't get enough. The chicken was fried to perfection, as usual. I don't live locally, and travel about 30 minutes to get here, because it is that good! The service is always on point the music selection is the best!! What more can you ask for?? Great food, service, and music! I have had other items off then menu (Mac & cheese, collard greens, catfish, and breakfast burrito) and I am never disappointed. If you're on the fence of giving BB's Cafe a try, here is your sign! read more

Nothing bland about it!! I work in Covina and I'm always on the hunt for a good breakfast burrito when the craving hits. I've tried surrounding areas and they're good but I think this one takes the cake. It's savory and everything is seasoned so well. Paired with the mild salsa makes every bite so satisfying. I was greeted right when I walked in. It's a small spot with big flavor. This will be my breakfast burrito spot. I have yet to try everything else. Will. be. back! read more

First time in the area and found BB's Cafe on Yelp so I had to try a Black Owned Restaurant and it did NOT disappoint. Michelle was SO KIND and knows how to hold a conversation. I learned more about her and her mom, BB. BB even greeted me. Customer service is TOP TIER!!! Now.... I had chicken and waffles. The price point is what really had me. But then the FOOD is literally chef's kiss. The chicken was fried so perfectly, golden and season so well. It was just right. The waffle is a waffle but it was GOOD. I really wanted the 5 piece chicken and to order Mac and cheese until I was saddened to hear there was no more Mac and cheese. I also went an hour prior to them closing. But I originally did go for chicken and waffles and I was satisfied. It is a small location and have about 3 tables that sit 4. I found a parking spot right in front of the restaurant so I was content but there are a lot of open spots. It is a great location and perfect for a nice to go order. I can't wait to come back because Michelle made me feel like family and BB's food is to brag about. I can't wait to try more if I am in the area again. read more

This tiny store front is really intended to be a pick up location rather than a sit down restaurant. There is some seating, but only for a maximum of 12 inside. Their specialty is their fried chicken and waffles. I loved their chicken, with its very southern, deliciously seasoned cornmeal crust. It made the pieces come out quite juicy and flavorful, and had a great crunch. I only wish they were full pieces, not 4 smaller but plump, wing parts. The waffle was not my favorite. I prefer a crisp crust. This one was spongy made from a relatively bland batter. But they did serve it with real butter, and butter goes a long ways to improving the shortcomings. I popped my leftovers in my toaster the next day, and that helped. I ordered an extra side of Mac & cheese (for research purposes, of course!) but it did not win my heart either. I am always on the hunt for a sharp Cheddar cheese recipe, and this tasted more creamy, like American cheese quality. I am also a big fan of a buttery baked crumb topping, but this had none. If we returned, I would most likely buy the chicken by the piece and skip the sides. Peach Cobbler, just ok. The crust was too doughy for my tastes and lacking in flavor as compared to another cobbler we had purchased that same day from a different Soul Food restaurant. The filling was also quite soupy. They also offer smoked meats which they smoke in a different location. Mr B ordered a brisket sandwich to go, which he later described as being too lean for his tastes. It had plenty of meat and was sauced up with a good tasting, sweet Bbq sauce. This came with a choice of 1 side. The employees were very sweet and attentive. And the prices were reasonable. I only saw parking on the street. Not sure if more is needed, actually, considering they are so tiny. read more

Admittedly, I hesitated before writing this review, but I feel it's important to share my experience. I purchased a breakfast burrito, expecting the same quality I enjoyed on a previous visit when I ordered grits. Unfortunately, this time I was very disappointed. The burrito was dry, overcooked, and tasteless, with very little cheese. It was so unappetizing that I couldn't eat it and ended up throwing it away--a complete waste of money. On a positive note, the young woman who took my order (the owner's daughter, I believe) had a warm and welcoming personality. However, unfortunately, good customer service cannot make up for food that falls this short of expectations. Based on this experience, I've decided not to ever return - simply awful !!! read more

Wanted to give BB's Cafe a try since it is highly reviewed, but perhaps we went on an off day. Pan Fried Catfish ($15.95): ~3 pieces of thin crispy catfish served alongside fries and two sides of your choice; we opted for the fried okra and collard greens. This dish was a miss for us all as the catfish had the very strong distinct fish flavor and we couldn't eat too much of it. Chicken & Waffles ($12.95): Probably the best item on the menu - a whole waffle served alongside 3 pieces of juicy + tender chicken. Maple syrup and butter on the side for the waffles. Waffles are probably best if you dine in but it was still good when we did take-out and the chicken remained crispy. Breakfast Burrito w/ Pulled Pork ($9.50): Average breakfast burrito, definitely needed the sauce as the pulled pork was a bit dry. I did appreciate that they did not skimp on the pulled pork. Glad I tried it and would come back for the chicken & waffles only. read more
First time here with a friend and I love the vibe and decor instantly. I love a "good morning " and I was greeted with a warm welcoming coming in. We ordered the hot links and waffles with a side of eggs with orange juices . The young lady came out to deliver another customers food and give us utensils and condiments. She also asked our names and introduced herself... Michelle is a lovely person as she welcomed us here read more

The food was good I was very surprised to have found a soul food restaurant in this area. I normally get the hostesses name to include in my review but I will get it next time because I will be eating there again. It's a nice small cozy spot but since I like to get comfortable after I eat I chose to get it to go. I want to thank the hostess for her service. read more

Where are the Soul Food spots in SGV vicinity??? A friend drove in from Palm Springs and we were looking for a soul food spot without having to go to LA and had to settle on BB's Cafe in Covina. I tried their food years ago and was somewhat disappointed so I never went back til today. So I'm thinking, they're still in business, maybe they got better...NOT!! I feel so bad in writing this because the hostess Michelle was sooo sweet, and funny, and accommodating. And she asked for a Yelp review. Canned yams, canned greens, at least that's what it tastes like. Almost no batter on the catfish. The shrimp, however, were delicious. Hush puppies which I don't usually eat were delicious. Mac n cheese was good but a little dry. And the potato salad was a little too tart with too many bell peppers and black olives in it. Everything served in styrofoam containers and paper plates even when you dine in. Next time I'll just make my own soul food at home. I don't wanna give up on them because it's the only soul food place in the SGV/Eastern part of LA County. Who wants to go all the way to LA? I'm sorry Michelle. Your personality makes it worth another try. But it might be a while before we try again. read more

Is this cafe open on Sundays? It says it's open until 2pm but I've called multiple times and now answer. I really wanted to support small business but unfortunately I'm getting no response.
Yes, here now (sunday) and there are open til 2pm.
It says you have vegan options? What are your meat-free, egg-free and dairy free options? Thank you, in advance.
It says vegetarian, not vegan. That basically just means meatless options. If you're not ok with dairy and eggs, I wouldn't eat here.
