The food was ok, I was disappointed that I found a rock in my soup. I understand that rocks can be found in lentils but if you properly sift through them before cooking then you will eliminate the risk of having someone chomp down on a rock. When I first started eating them I noticed really small sand like crunch but I ignored it and as I continued I found a rock that should have been noticed by the person cleaning the beans. When you order the food comes as to go but you can sit at one of the tables and enjoy your food. Street parking is available and there's a parking lot in the rear.

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 visited this café today with high hopes, and I left feeling deeply disappointed…read more I'll start with the positive: the seasonal drink I ordered was genuinely exceptional. It was creative, unique, and unlike anything I've had at a typical coffee shop. Unfortunately, the quality of the drink was overshadowed by the way I was treated, and because of that, I won't be returning. From the moment I walked in, I felt invisible. I entered the café and was not greeted by either employee. While I initially brushed it off, I couldn't help but notice that a white customer who entered shortly after me was immediately welcomed by both staff members. As I waited for my drink, I observed a man who appeared to be the owner or manager interacting with customers. He offered a white customer a sample to try, engaged him in conversation, and also spoke with another white customer who had entered separately. Throughout my entire visit, despite standing only a few feet away, he never acknowledged my presence; not with a greeting, a question, or even simple eye contact. The moment that solidified my discomfort came after I received my drink. Wanting to compliment it, I spoke loudly enough for both the employee who made it and the man assisting customers to hear. I said, "Wow, this drink is unbelievable, unlike anything I've had." Both of them looked directly at me and said nothing. There was no "thank you," no smile, no acknowledgment whatsoever. They simply looked at me and returned to what they were doing. I've replayed that interaction in my mind all day because it was blatant racism from the owner/manager who is an Asian man. As a black person, I left feeling unwelcome and excluded after watching other customers receive warmth and engagement that I did not. For that reason, I cannot recommend this business based on my experience.

It's consistently the slowest and seems severely understaffed, usually with only two employees despite a steady line. The customer service is also disappointing.

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.
