    After church brekkie. Scrambled eggs, potatoes n sourdough toast.
    Toshi I.

    Formerly another healthy food spot, so i was surprised to find out Mychal's is located here. I heard about Mychal's through a friend who frequents this place for breakfast and i love that it's for a good cause. After ordering our breakfast, I checked out the merch in the gift shop adjacent to the restaurant. Such cheerful and pretty canvas bags, tees and hoodies! This place is cute, my food was great and the staff delightful. Parking in the rear.

    Breakfast burrito with avocado
    Cindy D.

    This restaurant has good food and an even better mission of employing students with developmental disabilities to give them an opportunity to learn and develop the skills needed to help them feel empowered and included. We tried the breakfast burrito with avocado and their green smoothie, both of which were satisfying, freshly made and tasty. The tortilla was expertly toasted and inside, the eggs fluffy and well-seasoned. Be sure to try the house made salsa for an extra layer of spice and flavor. Service is efficient, friendly and very attentive. In accordance with their motto, everything is truly "made with love." Please support this wonderful small business.

    Tomato basil (bowl) + butternut squash feta salad

    Food was great! I had the Tomato Basil which was really chunky & SO DELISH & the butternut squash salad which was also really great. Parking is in the back off Vanderbilt. Super friendly vibe... they also have t-shirts/caps/baked goods for sale! My aunt took home a whole box of cookies & her daughter bought a cap. We were really tempted :). Highly recommend.

    Had breakfast here today. It's a good place for a casual brunch. You order at the counter and they deliver to your table. They have a food variety of breakfast foods and a good assortment of pastries/baked items. We got two muffins and they were delicious. I had the carrot one and tastes just like carrot cake. My daughter had the açaí bowl. The portions are large and my American breakfast came fresh and hot! I didn't love the coffee but would go back for everything else and it supports a great cause.

    Today, we enjoyed lunch at Mychal's Learning Place in Redondo Beach. Ed, the founder, and Doug, the manager, were kind enough to chat with us and share the heartfelt story of Mychal's, which is named after Ed's daughter who sadly passed away at age 7..The organization's commitment to employing and training people with learning disabilities is truly inspiring. So wonderful to have them in the South Bay and we hope our friends will stop by and show them some love and support too!

    Friendly staff and beautiful local artwork by the community. Enjoyed our delicious lunch in their back patio. Plenty of parking in the back as well.

    We need more places like Mychal's Cafe!!! Their mission is to provide a supportive, inclusive environment to train and employ people with developmental disabilities at their business and gain the independent living skills to be successful. As an educator in special education, I've seen many vocational programs striving to do something similar, but the students are oftentimes doing minimal work. Not here. They are doing everything from taking orders, cooking, serving and busing tables, all with smiles and care. I've had the latte, which is only $5, the Breakfast Hash ($15), the Chicken Pesto Panini with side salad ($14), their almond bar and chocolate chip cookies and everything was absolutely delicious, fresh and made with love. The cafe is big and spacious with plenty of seating inside and out back on the patio. It's filled with student art work, modern lighting and really pretty rose installations on the ceiling to buffer the noise. Vibe out to the playlist of a good mix of new hits. They also carry a lot of cool merchandise made in Mychal's Printing & Embroidery shop from apparel, bags, cards, and tumblers. Street parking was pretty easy to find here too. Come by, give them a try and support a business doing amazing things!

    Food was fresh and flavorful, moderately priced, and the place itself was a very warm environment. Minus one star for lack of variety and restricted hours.

    We've got a wham, bam shang-a-lang And a sha-la-la-la-la-la thing Wham bam shang-a-lang And a sha-la-la-la-la-la thing... Parking is available on Artesia or behind the buidling. Everyone is very helpful. Called and ordered over the phone for pick up since I needed to continue my work day. Burritos are good in size and ingredients. Went with the breakfast burrito and you can choose the ingredient. Added bacon because it's bacon. Add the hot sauce for a little kick. Didn't get anything to drink this time around but maybe on the next stop. There is ample seating inside and patio outside. It seems like a nice place to sit and enjoy your cafe. Really like that they offer employment and empower individuals with disabilities. Supporting a business that supports others is amazing so thank you Mychal's Cafe. Bring a friend and stay a while for you coffee or breakfast. I'll be back next time I'm in the area. God bless

    Açaí bowl and chocolate strawberry mocha
    Kyndra L.

    I absolutely LOVED this place! My boyfriend and I came in because we were staying nearby and we loved it so much we came back the next day. The food was delicious (and relatively affordable), the staff were all very kind and welcoming as were the other patrons, and parking and seating was very easy. If I lived closer I would definitely become a regular. I'm still dreaming of the chocolate strawberry mocha. It was AMAZING

    Breakfast Burrito
    Stephanie B.

    Wow! This is a special place. It is a large beautiful cafe on Artesia. There is a small parking lot in the back and there is some street parking. You order at a counter and then find a seat where you can place your number. The cafe is very casual. It has finished cement floors and lots of art work. Everything that we had was delicious - the sandwiches, the salads, the scrambles and more. My gf egg sandwich was super well prepared and the accompanying salad was fresh and tasty. My LO loved her scramble as did my SIL. The coffees are also outstanding. I love the mission of this restaurant. They are providing employment and job training for youth with development disabilities. The service is fantastic. I will definitely be back.

[Ordering]: Customers place their orders at the counter and there's a pickup window just outside of the liquor store. The cashier said it takes about 15 minutes to prepare my order. There are no indoor tables, but there are couple of outdoor tables in the pickup window area. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items include Chicken Parm and Reg Hermosa Chicken Deluxe. The recommended sandwiches per the menu are Chicken Parm, Italian Combo, Meatball, Mickey's Combo, Sauce & Cheese, and Turkey. They also sell pizza slices, salads, deli items, hot dishes, and dinners. *** Large Chicken Parmigiano (Breaded Chicken, Marinara Sauce, Mozzarella Cheese and Parmesan Cheese, French roll - $17.50): Crunchy French roll and the portion was large enough to split into two meals. Flavor profile was alright and nothing too exciting. *** It's an a-ok grab-and-go deli shop, but I wouldn't drive out of the way for sandwiches with other better Italian deli shops in LA.

My favorite donuts are their apple fritters and old fashioned (buttermilk). Don't get me wrong, they are spectacularly good. But these two are OUTSTANDING!!! As far as their sandwiches are concerned, I love the Cali. It's loaded with turkey AND chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and avocado. I also, love their Veggie. I usually order it on squaw bread or wheat. It comes packed with cheese, cucumbers, shredded carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, and of course avocado. Monica takes pride in the sandwiches as they are a work of art. They are not only tasty as heck, but assembled as it if were to be photographed for an ad! Lastly, their prices are incredibly reasonable. The Veggie is $4.99 and the Cali is $5.99. These are pretty much the prices for just about all of the sandwiches. Great food, amazing service and reasonable prices! What else could you ask for??
