Starting the New Year off right with intentional support of this great black-owned business is a…read moregreat step to take. I stopped by for a late breakfast/brunch with my partner and two friends. It was my first visit. We found parking easily, but it could be due to the holiday. The place itself is clean, open and has minimalist decor that lends to a welcoming vibe featuring some really cool photography on the walls. The menu is definitely pared down, but there is variety enough for various moods and tastes. I had the avocado toast minus goat cheese and a raspberry (I believe) hibiscus iced tea. The pricing is fair for an individual-owned restaurant. I didn't experience any bad service and even when the gent calling out names had to repeat mine because I wasn't sure I'd heard right, he wasn't annoyed at all. Everyone I interacted with was friendly and cool. I am not being dramatic when I say this may be the best avocado toast I've ever had. The portion was a single slice of toast, but it was loaded high with fresh, delicately arranged ingredients. It wasn't too salty, which a lot of places make the mistake of making avo toast. It along with the delicious tea was literally the best first meal of the year I could imagine. The bathroom was clean and also featured more of that same rad photography inside on the walls. All in all, a truly wonderful experience! Walking back to the car past a dude playing conga drums and others just outside enjoying the day added to a wonderfully community-based feeling. I recommend! And I will likely be pin ring people in the direction of this place if they're in LA proper for the avocado toast alone! I devoured it before taking a photo, but I will get one the next time we visit!

Minus a star for lack of outlets- looked like they only had one section with a handful of outlets in the corner and none anywhere else.

I ordered a decaf oat latte and avocado toast - the avocado toast was more flavorful than the usual I have, which was a nice surprise. Our group took up a sizable number of tables, so Carmen came over and offered to let us use the back area the next time we come if we give her a heads up. The food and drinks were on point, the staff were friendly, and we felt so welcomed! Will definitely be back to support this community cafe.

Parking is scarce of course so just park in the neighborhood and walk. The space is big! Plenty of seating inside and outside. You can work on your laptop but they have hours where you can be outside with your laptop so keep an eye out for that. Food amazing! No complaints! Portion and flavor 10/10 Ambiance is so chi!!! The decor with the live plants inside? Love. MY "ehhh" is the service the sense of urgency was nowhere to be found and that's what we came around late brunch time and there was still a line!

Well, I honestly have to say I am really disappointed in the service here. I am a single girl who…read morecan't cook so I dine out 24/7 and RARELY leave a review however I feel that if I do maybe something can change for the next guest trying to enjoy an experience. It's really hard to be in a joyful mood when you are not being attended to. I did receive a glass of water at the very beginning, that was nice, after that everything was basically as if I was invisible. They brought my food out fast, I wanted to ask for sauces, more napkins & no one checked in on me. Maybe because I came during dinner time? The bartender is gold -- he was more attentive than the whole staff the entire time. I am sad to say that this truly made my food non exciting and very blah. I've been here before for breakfast and it has been great, bummed that wasn't today. As a single eater, I felt extra lonely. Sincerely, Anonymous foodie x

There is a small free parking lot right out front, otherwise free street parking is also easy to find. Inside is large enough to dine in, but I always get it to go. They do have a pretty large menu with a lot of great options on it and I love that they have smoothies and drinks as well as food items. I have tried a few different things here, but this past order I got the Spicy Chicken Sandwich and added avocado and honestly really liked it. The ciabatta bread was crispy and the the chicken was perfectly spicy and I just really enjoyed it. The dressing on the side salad was also terrific. I would recommend if you are in the area.

So knowing they're also here in West Adams with a plus point that sit down space was provided, so obviously I was giving it a go. They did have shared free parking lot with some other tenants within the complex, giving it another bonus point. Price was pretty affordable for the portion. I got their Dolce Latte and I was pleased that temperature was pretty hot just like how I fancied my hot coffee. Typically I was disappointed by the lukewarm one that I mostly had to request my drink being extra hot. This one served it just right despite I forgot to mention it when ordering. The coffee was sweetened with condensed milk and I thought it's a decent cup for being less than $7

I have been here twice coming from Inglewood to Downtown…read more The hidden spot is so exciting, my first time I order the Yuenyeung Coffee which, a seasonal drink. When I tried it, I got in love with it, no too sweet and no bland at all, I don't know what is made of, but it has become one of my favorite hot drinks besides lattes. In addition, the barista (owner possibly) gave me to taste their cold brew coffee and I was impressed on the notes it had. I love hot drinks more than cold, but I would say that I would never forget that cold brew he gave me to taste. The service, they are quite, but I was able to chat to the owner and to tell him that his spot is beautiful. He told me a bit about their art pieces at the wall. The ambience is so different, the outside design and the inside transports you to another place like Amsterdam, some how I felt I was not in Jefferson nor in LA at all. Wishing this place way more success.

Coffee shop with Asian twist! Certainly triggering my excitement to the ceiling, especially…read morespotting Yuanyang Latte on their menu, carrying out a blend of Oolong syrup and espresso shot. What I loved about their version was it's not overly bold like original one typically served in any kopitiam which I loved but not my tummy (yep deep frowned); so Halfday thanks for inventing this version for me! First sip and it got me sold; pretty surprised that the oolong was just syrup yet the flavor stood out pretty bold. The coffee also suited my liking, solid in flavor yet not acidic. One improvement I wish would be to have the online pre-order to be kept open until the outlet's closing time. We were heading there an our pre-closing time and intended to pre-order yet the online order seemed to close earlier. The venue itself was simple with minimal table and mostly just seats for quick coffee stop. They did have couple tables at the front patio should you fancy being outdoor.

Perfect for this season as it's still bit chilly on the day. We got our orders pretty swiftly and love that the size was pretty big for accompanying us sitting and getting some work done. We got their Cream Cold Brew and Butterscotch Latte, both of which came with cream top. Their cream top was nicely airy with hint of sweetness. The cold brew prolly wasn't my favorite being more on the acidic side. The Butterscotch was more for you who loved sweet latte, felt more like a treat for me than coffee but certainly no complaints.

I discovered RLA Cafe on maps, and I have to admit some of the reviews were a little misleading. I…read morevisited on a Sunday morning, and parking was fairly difficult... actually the large parking lot was closed from the main street. Entrance was only from the residential street and looked to be valet / directed only - fairly packed. I found parking at the block nearby, a 3 minute walk. Walking to find RLA Cafe was a tad difficult, too. It's easy to miss since there's no obvious sign from the street side. Going through the parking lot was confusing as well. Once you make your way in, you'll find that it's very well designed, relaxing, and uplifting. However, a few spots make this less appealing to work at other than parking: * Wi-Fi requires a $10 minimum. Code is on receipt, but getting it was a hassle. The Wi-Fi is additionally on the slower end, and somehow I got cut off, or it stopped working after an hour. * Iced latte was mostly milk; there was barely a hint of espresoo. I got a large to "try" to hit $10 but it's really hard. Not having much ice could be seen as a plus, but this was probably the worst latte I've ever had. Felt like I was drinking milky water. * Need a $10 minimum? Good luck, there are menu items but no prices! Overall, for an $8 iced latte, it left much to be desired outside of the ambiance / environment.
