This is a hidden gem, the place can be a bit hard to find as it is in a corner, however the food here is delicious. We have been here a few times and the food never disappoints. Service is great, very nice person that works here. The place is really nicely decorated and very cozy, the only reason why I took a star out is due to their prices, they tend to be a bit pricey and just recently increased their prices. read more

Parking is a nightmare if the neighboring venue is hosting a party. However, the food and service outweighs the negative. The service, and quality and the presentation of the food is excellent. The servers are on top of it, checking up on us, and asking for refills. I enjoy coming here for their French toast, sandwiches, and pasta. read more

This place is pretty good. Not great and not bad. I thought it was a French restaurant but it's a fusion of Mexican, American breakfast, French and a bar. I had the bechamel (butter cheese) & French crepes (goat cheese with almond). They were good but a little expensive. Service was ok. Food is overall good but overpriced. read more

Big portions, very friendly staff and a wide menu. Inside feels like a fancy dive bar when the door is closed. I added chicken to the pesto panini. The chicken was very good quality but it would have been better if it were sliced in smaller pieces. Also the "fish tacos" are not traditional fish tacos. They are actually salmon tacos. read more

I came back to this cafe after a few months and was helped by the same cashier/server, Cloud. I asked for an iced coffee not too sweet, and he actually remembered my preference from last time and that really stood out to me. Cloud is super friendly, has a great memory, and is consistent with excellent customer service. Employees like Cloud are a big reason people come back. Management should definitely recognize and reward that level of care. Thanks again, Cloud!!! read more

Tamara and Cloud are one of the ones we always see here and they are both super friendly always! I love the ambiance there's always either really good music playing or just relaxing music with nice earthy backgrounds ! its always really clean and their set up with everything is so comfy! The ribs are so good and the bone literally just falls right off! The chicken Alfredo has so much flavor its amazing its hard to find a place that does good pasta's! The Béchamel crepe is my moms favorite and i can attest that it's so delicious the mushroom with the sauce isn't overpowering at all ! 10/10!! read more

If you have not tried this place you are definitely missing out. Let me break it down for you. Service- The very best. As soon as you step a foot in the restaurant door you best believe you will be acknowledge. The best and unique service is the fact that the owner David makes you feel at home. He makes sure that all his customers are very well service. He is the most humble person that takes the time to have a conversation with you. I can go on and on of how great they all are that we are regulars now. Food- served fresh, prices are decent and we love it. Ambience- quiet, hidden little place that makes you feel at home while having breakfast linch or dinner. Sundays theres live music to enjoy and you will just love this place. read more

So happy to have found this hidden gem as we were looking for a place to bring our friends from out of state. Cloud made our first time experience that more amazing. His service was the absolute best and always made sure we were all satisfied and happy. There were about 12 customers and Cloud was the only worker we seen and he was busting his butt off!

I have been a loyal customer of Nina's cafe for 10+ years. They had a small spot in Bell. About 4 tables inside & 2 outside. However, words started spreading of their delicious & fresh food, which now required a bigger location. This was Bell & fit approx. 12 tables inside & a small outdoor sitting. I am happy to say that they now have an even bigger location also in. Bell, CA. Same amazing taste, friendly & professional staff. With more to offer. Here, they serve alcohol!

It has that small, local neighborhood feel that I always appreciate. Parking can be a little tricky. There's no stopping right in front of the cafe, but I found parking down the block. They do have a back door, and I noticed quite a few customers coming in from that side, so they may have parking in the back. My first impression wasn't the best because the tables needed some attention, especially with the cafe being pretty empty when I arrived. I did a mobile order and it took about 30 minutes, but I ordered food too, so I completely understand that food orders can take a little longer. I ordered: Chicken Mole Burrito $9.50 Papas con Chorizo Burrito $6.75 Café de Olla $6.50 Mexican Mocha with cold foam $7.25 I usually stick with a Spanish latte, but I wanted to try something different. The Mexican mocha wasn't really for me, but the Café de Olla was pretty good! Now the FOOD... 10/10! The burritos were so good and had that authentic, homemade Mexican flavor. I honestly never thought I would say I had some of the best chicken mole from a coffee shop, but here we are! The mole had so much flavor, and I would absolutely go back just for the food. The staff seemed a little tired or maybe just having a long day, so the service felt a little quiet. I also overheard that they stop serving food at 11 AM, so definitely keep that in mind if you're going specifically for the food. There's something special about finding authentic Mexican food in a neighborhood coffee shop. The food was definitely the highlight for me, and I'd come back to try more from their menu!

However, I decided to give this café a try because East LA cafés are rare, and I wanted to support this particular business. I ordered a matcha, a coffee for my sister, and a few baked goods. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The matcha was poor quality, the coffee was mediocre, and the baked goods tasted like items from Ralphs or Costco. They seemed almost stale, were clearly not baked in-house, and lacked everything you'd expect from a baked item from a café. What was especially frustrating was that the matcha et al. is priced as if it were ceremonial grade, despite the quality being far below that standard. The bakery items are prepackaged products arranged to fit the café's aesthetic rather than freshly made offerings. The space itself is cute, and the woman who helped us was very kind. However, the quality of the food and drinks simply does not justify the prices. I really wanted to like this place and support a local East LA café, but the overall experience fell FAR short of expectations.

Their Customer series is fantastic, there is no seating indoors, and only a couple tables outside. So definitely a To go situation. The coffee is fantastic. Many flavorful options, my favorite is the horchata latte, I've also had the vanilla iced coffee, which is also amazing. You really can't go wrong. The Chocolate croissant also stands out, Definitely give this place a try , they also just added ice cream to the menu . Very happy customer here.

Once I found out there was going to be a Kuromi themed collab here I had sure to mark my calendar,…read moreso I've been looking forward to this! The collab started today and will last until the 31st. The store opens at 7am , but even though I got there around 8:30 and there was no line they still managed to sell out of a majority of the limited edition Kuromi themed pastries. Which was a little heart breaking, but also understandable. I ended up ordering the Kuromi Berry lemonade and some of their more popular items like the D Tia Blue (blueberry/cream cheese filled pastry) and the Japanini. Everything hit the spot as expected, but the highlight of my visit was definitely that berry lemonade! It had the perfect sweet to sour ratio and it looked very whimsical with its purple hue. I'll definitely be back to order that again and maybe I'll have better luck next time with the availability of the limited edition pastries. It wasn't as busy as it typically gets so took advantage of the opportunity and I dined in. During my visit I adored the Kuromi decor around the story. It was definitely picture worthy. They also have the cutest merch available for sale and of course I bought a sticker sheet to add to my sticker collection. The workers also wore pretty purple Kuromi hats and aprons, which is also included in their merch for sale fyi. If you're a Sanrio/Kuromi fan, do yourself a favor and RUN to your nearest Okayama Kobo cafe!

Nina's is my go to place for breakfast when I'm in the area. Their steak omelette is one of the best I've yet had. Comes with a delicious side salad of mixed greens and spinach with some chunks of mango and strawberry. The potatoes are perfect and the toasted baguette is a welcome change from standard diner choices. Nothing compares to their steak omelette though. Soooooo tasty! I have also sampled some other stuff on the menu including lunch once and have yet to have experience any food other than delicious. The ambiance is very Latin with a heavy dose of French culture and little Italian feel. It is tastefully decorated with murals and a giant bouquet spelling out LOVE. Service has always been pleasant and quick, although naturally there can be gaps when they get crowded. Although I don't drink, there is also a fully stocked bar and I'm told the cocktails are worth ordering. Overall I love Nina's and hope you will too! read more

I recently visited Nina's Cafe & Bar in Bell, and it was a fantastic experience! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. The menu offered a diverse selection of dishes, and everything we ordered was delicious. The drinks menu was equally impressive, featuring a variety of creative cocktails and beverages. The staff at Nina's were friendly and attentive, providing excellent service throughout our visit. They made sure we had everything we needed and were happy to offer recommendations. Overall, Nina's Cafe & Bar is a wonderful spot for both food and drinks. I highly recommend it to anyone in the Bell area looking for a great dining experience. I can't wait to return! read more

We were really looking forward to enjoying this place, but we couldn't even enter the restaurant. I tugged on the door (I'm pretty strong) and it was locked. The parking situation is horrific, too. We decided to call the restaurant to check if they were open, and there was an answer! The woman that answered the phone seemed very inconvenienced and she claimed that the "door [was] not looked, just heavy." It was locked. There was definitely something blocking the door. I tugged and tugged on that door. She said that they were open for business but did not even offer to come help us get the door open. We are so disappointed. We were really excited about trying this place. read more

We were greeted by " The Los Angeles Gentlmen" motorcycle club -- couldn't have been nicer! Then we walked in and were greeted warmly by the owner and his daughter, Cheryl. We were immediately seated and made comfortable. Cheryl took our orders and could not have been nicer/friendlier. Very spacious and cute atmosphere. Ordered and after a little bit of a wait (Due to food made to order BTW!) I had the absolute best chicken and waffles ever. IT WAS A 1/2 CHICKEN seasoned to perfection -- flavorful and juicy!
