There's a lot I want to say about this spot but I'm a try and keep it short lol…read more My first time visiting was this past Sunday, May 31st. I had my whole day planned out with a list of events to attend but first I wanted to stop by Patria and grab some coffee to start my morning off. Located in a parking lot next to Wilson Park on Compton Blvd and Alameda Street you'll find this nice cut lawn in front of this small white building, Patria Coffee Roaster. Depending on your time of arrival, the parking lot can be full but it's cool cuz there's also street parking available. I was able to park in the lot. After walking in I was welcomed and greeted with positive energy from 2 young ladies who I forgot their names but we'll just call them "A" and "C" lol. A guy to my right was sitting next to the window working on his laptop. And two others against the wall sipping their coffees and doing whatever on their phones. A customer was at the register ordering while another customer walked in to stand in line behind me. I let her go in front of me while I took pics and recorded footage. I like the atmosphere and space a lot. It has a very nice decor. Artwork, pictures and murals with history displayed along the walls. Grab and cold drinks available for purchase. Nice music playing that wasn't too loud but just right to complement a chill coffee shop vibe. "A" was friendly and patient as shared with her this was my first visit. As I browsed thru the coffee menu before making my selection I noticed more costumes coming in. I ordered a medium sized Americano which is $3.75 but I requested to add some hazelnut creamer as well as some almond milk which totaled out to $4.75 which was quite exceptional to me. Giving the location, the quality of service and the quality of the coffee. Not to mention to overall experience. I even thru in a $1 tip. I support the business and love the space. It feels welcoming and safe. The restroom was clean. They also have many different events held there. If you're ever in the area definitely pull up and check em' out. It's black owned as well. I actually ended up sitting there in the lot sipping my coffee while working on my video to post on social media. The coffee was good and tasteful. Didn't need any sugar. Great vibes and great coffee. You can even go the park right next door and get your steps in or just chill. I definitely recommend coming here. If you're passing thru the area or coming to the city, do yourself a favor and pull up. Check em' out. Grab you a coffee or something. Prices are reasonable and the community is welcoming to all individuals.

I stopped by just to pick up some breakfast burritos - I've had coffee before once but I had never…read morebeen in store. So I came by, one sausage burrito and one chicken chorizo burrito with red salsa was the order. I will say they're not many workers you see up front, so service is quick and simple but if someone is helping a customer it can feel like you've waited some time. They put all the salsa within your order box if it's to go - I spent about $30 for sausage, egg and tater tots burrito with a basic red salsa. For the chicken chorizo, also tater tots and egg. The red salsa wasn't spicy but well spiced if that makes sense? It had a deep tasteful Smokey flavor but I wish it had some heat to it. The burritos are okay, they're good but pricey and nothing to run home about. They're a good size, filling and basic if you just need a quick eat that's not prepared by yourself. Get a coffee here! Get breakfast elsewhere maybe for the same price..

Only layer on with my next visit did I order another croissant again and find out it's actually that they have dry pastries there. Not great. Matcha blueberry was pretty good.

Very disappointing and honestly pretty misleading. This café advertises that it is open until 4:00…read morep.m., yet apparently the kitchen closes at 2:00 p.m. There is no sign stating this, no clearly posted notice, and nothing on the website indicating that food service ends TWO HOURS before the café actually closes. If your kitchen closes at 2:00, that needs to be clearly communicated to customers. People check business hours before making the trip specifically so they know whether a place is open and serving. Advertising that you're open until 4:00 without disclosing that the kitchen stops serving at 2:00 sets customers up for an unnecessary and frustrating experience. I completely understand having separate kitchen and café hours. What I don't understand is failing to communicate them. A simple update to the website and a sign at the café would prevent this entirely. Unfortunately, I came here expecting to have lunch based on the hours they advertise and left extremely disappointed. Please clearly post your kitchen hours so other customers don't waste their time.

The vanilla cold foam was a nice touch too! The staff were very welcoming and kind, and the inside was really clean. I really liked the ambiance here. It had a nice, calm, and comfortable atmosphere that makes you want to stay for a while. I could definitely see myself coming here to study, get some work done, or just hang out and enjoy a coffee. It felt welcoming without being too loud or overwhelming. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and would definitely come back!

We came here around 3 PM on a Thursday to get some work done and our afternoon caffeine re-dose. Service was great! I got the cookie butter matcha and I didn't know this was a combination I needed in my life. I think they pair very well together because matcha and cookie butter are kind of nutty in flavor profile. It's perfectly balanced too. I would get this again for sure, that says a lot cause I'm the type that likes to always try something new. They had some donuts and pastries but we didn't try it. I took a sip of the cookie butter latte my girlfriend got and that was delightful too. They have a parking lot for easy free parking. I love the all black and wood interior. They have outlets pretty accessible anywhere you sit. The WiFi was fast enough for me to work fine. There are not too many tables in here but at the time we came, that wasn't an issue. They have a cart of board games and books you can borrow from too. The place feels clean, I saw the worker cleaning the bathroom while we were here.

I honestly didn't expect this place to be as spacious as it is looking at it from the outside ! The only thing is, parking can be tough when the other businesses in the plaza are busy too. Anyway, I tried the Saigon de leche which I love! My go to is usually a Spanish latte whenever it's on the menu and I enjoyed their version. The condensed milk flavor was really prominent but not too sweet. Customer service was friendly and also quick. Love that! Definitely will come back to try more of their drinks!

Padekwa This is a…read morereview for my experience at Padekwa. It is a coffee shop/creative studio. Padekwa is Haitian Creole for "You're welcome." Words to describe Padekwa: Positive vibes, Great spot to work/study, Relaxed, Artistic, Creative, Serene, Peaceful, Safe, spacious Location: It is located by Dollar Tree/7-11. There is plenty of parking because it's in a plaza. Drinks: I ordered their specialties-bananas foster latte and beignet cappuccino. Both served hot. They were delicious! I can taste the sweetness of the bananas and beignets, with the warm combo of the hot coffee. Way to go baristas! After sipping on the coffee nectar, it inspired me to get to work on my work projects. Food: I also tried their brownies and coffee cake. They were both generous slices and appetizing as well! Environment: I really love the aesthetics and atmosphere at Padekwa. You see the personal touches of family life and community. I also love the poem on the wall about art. Thank you for providing a wonderful home for people to create and share! If you need a cup of coffee, inspiration, and a place to work, I highly recommend visiting Padekwa!

It was like a free art show with a cup of coffee and good vibes! They had art in the front area and the back lounge area! THEY CRANK THAT AC!!! So if you are looking to escape the heat grab a coffee and snack and chill awhile! The staff is sooooo friendly! I'm 99% sure this is family owned and by the looks of it all female owned as well. They take the name to pa'dekwa seriously cuz I felt very very welcomed! Now the coffee! I got the collagen crush!!! And DANG! That drink is super tasty especially knowing there is healthy benefits from it. I took the suggestion from the lady at the register and added a touch of hazelnut to make that "Nutella" flavor (THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTION) Overall I WILL be back! When I'm treating myself to coffee solo or with friends this will be my top spot! I can't wait to "catch" their FISH FRY!! (They try at least once a month)

I've ordered hot coffee and iced coffee but this last visit I tried their cookie butter latte and it was delicious. It wasn't too sweet and they had a generous amount of cookie crumble on top. I also feel that they were generous with the coffee. Some places put a lot of ice and you take a couple sips and it's done. This wasn't the case. Thank you. The cashier was friendly as well, she took the time to explain their hours. We ordered our drinks and they were ready in a few minutes. I would definitely come back and I'd like to try another specialty drink. I really like that they are located inside SteelCraft and you can take your drink and baked goods inside to sit down and enjoy music, movies, or just conversation.

I was obsessed with their cookie butter latte that I came here everyday after taking my kids to…read moreschool but then the drink was inconsistent. Sometimes it was sweet, sometimes it was bitter. So I stopped coming since it's on the other side of town. I probably drop by once a month nowadays and the flavor is there! They have sweet bread available. Aside from their regular menu, they have a monthly menu that features the month. In December, they have "Christmas" drinks whereas in June, they have "summer"drinks .. it just varies from month to month. Parking is free since it's part of the Bellflower Steelcraft. I feel they make drinks quick, I usually wait less than 5 mins for my drinks. Our usual orders consist of: kids iced mocha, cafe de olla, & the iced cookie butter latte. Oh! Plus you have an option of adding cute art on some of the drinks for a dollar! I've had hello kitty, pochacco, snoopy with a soccer ball & text Mexico

This place is close to our house, so we decided to try it…read more The oat milk banana latté I ordered tasted artificial. The matcha is presweetened, and batch prepared in large squeeze bottles. The matcha latte was too sweet, and had a stronger than normal bitter aftertaste. The drinks were average. Service, though, was very good, both the young man at the register and the young lady who called out our order were friendly and professional. I would go further - to Da Vien or Trung Nguyen for the flavors we tried here. UPDATE: Thanks for the clarification, Reina. I did not say that artificial banana flavoring was used. Perhaps I'm not accustomed to tasting cheong, which I believe is a fermentation process of fruit. I didn't taste a a "strong" banana flavor. It was actually a subtle banana flavor. There was an aftertaste that I did not expect and not anything I've tasted in banana lattès from other shops. Maybe it's just my palate. Also, when we ordered we had wanted a vanilla matcha lattè. However, we were told that the matcha is pre-sweetened and that vanilla could not be added because it would make the drink too sweet, so I'm not certain how the sweetness can be adjusted if the batched matcha is already sweetened. Thank you again for the response and the best of luck with your business.
