Re/creation Cafe - crenshaw cowboy fried chicken sandwich - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Stopped by for brunch and overall it's a solid spot, especially for the vibe. The space is spacious and very communal, with both indoor seating and a unique outdoor patio. Didn't realize they also host events and have a small stage for performances, which is a nice touch. You can order at the counter or scan a QR code at the table for mobile ordering. I got the Pickford breakfast Sando, decent size and good overall. I also tried the Shaken Iced Matcha Latte, and as someone who loves matcha, this one wasn't it, tasted more like milk. My friend enjoyed the Cornbread Chicken & Waffles, but her smoothie was just okay, maybe we missed on the drinks. Food is decent, but the ambiance is really what stands out. Service was good. Street parking can be a hit or miss, but there are side streets if you can't find something on Washington. read more

I visited Re/Creation Cafe for the first time Friday morning around 9:30am, and it was such a great experience. It wasn't busy, and my first impression was that everything was so nice, clean, and cute. The cashier was very friendly and informative, she gave great food suggestions and was especially sweet after I told her it was my first time there. I initially sat inside near the stage area, but after noticing the patio, she encouraged me to check it out. I'm so glad I did because I ended up loving the patio and decided to sit out there. I ordered the Guatemalan dish, and let me just say, that alone made me come back again! Everything was delicious, my chai latte was great, and the service was exceptional. Because of that experience, I convinced my husband, who never likes trying new places, to come back with me this morning. When we walked in, it was a bit busier, which is totally understandable, but we stood there for a minute before being acknowledged. A very nice cashier, I didn't catch her name, she was Asian, took our order. I ordered the same Guatemalan plate for my husband since he loves plantains, along with a regular coffee for him. I got an iced café de olla, a sesame bagel with cream cheese, and a side of plantains. My husband's first impression was that the place looked really nice and welcoming, and he even wanted to check out the patio after we ate. My drink came out first, then our food. My bagel came with butter instead of cream cheese, so I had to get up and ask for it. That's when I first interacted with Edwin. He seemed a bit annoyed but eventually sent it over. Now here's the issue, both my husband and I are familiar with Central American food, and we know how plantains should taste when they're ripe and properly cooked. The plantains we were served today, both his and mine, were extremely hard and tasted bad, completely inedible. This was disappointing, especially because the ones I had on Friday were perfect. When we mentioned this, a younger staff member, not Edwin, came by and asked if we wanted them cooked more, which honestly would not have fixed the issue, so we just asked him to take them. He was very sweet about it, and took them. At that point, we had almost finished our food, and my husband's coffee had not even come out yet. (Regular coffee) Then Edwin came to our table looking visibly annoyed and said, "I was told you returned the plantains. I can replace them, but all of my plantains are like that right now." Mind you, this was with so much attitude and the most annoyed look on his face! That alone was frustrating, especially when we had given him no attitude. We asked if my husband could get an extra egg instead, and he immediately said no, saying it had to match the 5 dollar value of the plantains. Which we were totally ok with! Yet, he walked away, then came back and said he could offer French fries or sweet potato fries. I found this a little frustrating as there were other $5 sides on the menu, yet we were only given the option of fries? By then my husband was already annoyed and just chose regular fries. Edwin did not say anything else, he just walked away. THE FRIES NEVER CAME. At that point, we just finished eating and left. I did not even ask for a refund because honestly, it felt pointless. And it was not even about the refund, it was the attitude and the lack of customer service from Edwin that really ruined the experience. I asked the cashier for his name because the difference in service from Friday to today was honestly disappointing. It really comes down to customer service and delivery. Friday's experience was exceptional. Today's experience made my husband say he will never come back, which is disappointing because I genuinely wanted him to love it like I did. I would suggest not serving plantains if they are not ripe, or at least informing customers ahead of time. Also, customer service matters, attitude and communication make a huge difference. Message delivery is also a big thing in the customer service world. I really contemplated leaving this review as once again, my experience Friday, was very different. read more

Re/creation Cafe - These were the plantains, hard to cut into and very bitter. - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've lived in this neighborhood for years now but only today took the half mile walk to check out this place for lunch with my dog (que cliche I know). The place is welcoming with a menu for everyone. Doesn't matter if you are coming in for cafe and a snack or a whole meal or a drink. I ordered at the counter but you can also order via QR code right from the tables. I went simple for my first meal here, a grilled cheese with fries and a glass of wine. Sat in the back patio where there were people reading, friends and couples having lunch - really a cute lovely vibe with flowering trees. The food was great and I can't wait to make this part of my regular rotation and also check out some of the events they have. read more

I came to Recreation Cafe in Mid-City with a group of five and had such a pleasant experience overall. I immediately loved the beautiful, airy ambiance and how bright and welcoming the space felt. I noticed right away how friendly and attentive the staff was, and I really appreciated how quickly they cleaned and set up a table for our group. I liked the easy access to water, which always feels like a thoughtful touch. I ordered the Mediterranean salmon dish and loved how balanced and fresh the flavors were, with a satisfying portion size. I also tried the chicken tenders, which were delicious, along with French fries that were perfectly seasoned and had great texture. Our smoothies were refreshing and tasty. The only small miss for me was the cornbread waffle and chicken, which leaned a bit dry. I appreciated that all our food came out at the same time, ordering was easy with tons of options, and parking wasn't terrible. I would happily return for brunch with friends and explore more of the menu soon. read more

**GREAT COMMUNAL SPACE, OK FOOD** I've had this café bookmarked for a while and finally made it in. Overall, it lands at about 3.5 stars, rounding up to 4. PARKING Street parking for us. Easy enough on quieter days, but it can get hectic on weekends or during events. AMBIANCE Lofty, open, and airy with a really nice back patio. Easily one of the better-designed communal spaces in Mid-City. Welcoming, lively, and well-suited for hanging out, working, or attending events. FOOD CRENSHAW COWBOY FRIED CHICKEN - $20 Fried chicken with jalapeño honey, garlic aioli, lettuce, and pickled jalapeños on a buttermilk biscuit. The idea is solid, but the execution didn't quite live up to the description. The chicken lacked the heat and distinct buttermilk flavor I was expecting. It's fine, just underwhelming for a $20 plate, especially since fries and other sides are extra. Rating: 3/5 SERVICE We greeted the bartender and staff, but as first-time visitors, we weren't informed that ordering happens at the counter before seating. After sitting for about 15 minutes, we figured it out and went up ourselves. Water is self-serve. Once ordered, the food came out fairly quickly. OVERALL The space is really the highlight here. I might return for drinks, the patio, or future events, but the fried chicken sandwich alone wouldn't bring me back. read more

Such a cute place - good vibe - staff is super friendly and accommodating. Lots of seating indoors and on the back patio. Cute community restaurant & seems to host a lot of events. I wanted to try everything because the menu looked so scrumptious - from the food to the drinks! I can't eat eggs anymore (BOO), so anything I ordered would have had the egg removed. Ordered the gingerberry rush smoothie and was delish - it has a lot of ginger which I like. I would have ordered the matcha more but I had just finished the matcha I made myself at home. I ordered the breakfast sandwich which was made with these incredible biscuits and I added more chicken sausage (since I didn't have the egg). The sausage is not to be missed! My sister ordered the omelette - the home Made has brows are FIRE! Will def be back when I'm in Los Angeles. read more

Returned for another Friday paint night! It was surprisingly not crowded this time vs how busy it was last week. But the vibes are always there. There were plenty of easels available. I tried the chicken tenders and let me tell you they might be the best I've had recently--texture and taste were perfect. Also the fries are downright amazing. And bonus points for the pretty presentation. read more

We came here for brunch and left genuinely impressed.The food at Re/creation Cafe is done with care, and you can tell right away. The burger was the highlight for me. The brioche bun was soft and slightly sweet, the patty was thick, juicy, and nicely seasoned, and everything worked together without feeling heavy or overdone. It looked great on the plate and tasted even better. The fries were excellent. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and not greasy at all. They felt fresh and well seasoned, not like an afterthought, which I always appreciate. We also tried a breakfast plate, and it was just as solid. The omelet was fluffy and cooked right, not dry or flat. The potato pancake had a great crunch with a soft center, and the sauces on the side added flavor without overpowering anything. Presentation was clean and inviting. Portions were filling but reasonable. Nothing felt rushed or sloppy. Overall, Re/creation Cafe feels like a place that cares about what they put out. Good food, well executed, and a relaxed brunch spot I would definitely come back to. Long overdue review. read more

This place is awesome! Great coffice hours (laptop friendly until 4pm). All the seating options to fit your needs; solo dinners to small groups, indoor and outdoor spaces, even stools, chairs, or couches. There's a basket of blankets to use if you get a little chilly while outside. Great food (like, the entire menu), great service, great espresso. And some fun light cocktails for when it's time to get a little loose. Fun part is all the events and activities they offer. Be sure to sign up for the newsletter. I didn't find the bakery foods good, but hey, something's gotta give. Besides I'm here for all other things! I'm obsessed with Re/creation Cafe. read more

This is such a cute cozy place for brunch ! I love how they have a lounge area and tables outside to dine. Food was great but I would love to come back again to try more of what's on the menu ! This is an order and sit down type of cafe. So make sure you get a menu before placing an order or else you'll be stuck at the register deciding like I did lol. I got a Caesar salad with their espresso no martini coffee. The coffee is 1000/10 ! String just how I like it and a little sweet. It's perfect ! I wanted more after I was done. The salad was great I love the colors on it. I added chicken which came grilled, I would rate it a good 8/10 since it's just a simple Caesar salad. My bf got their flat bread which taste prettty amazing. I would definitely want to come back! They also have events here which I would love to check out, especially their salsa night read more

Came by to meet up with a couple of friends, and overall, the experience was great - up until the flies decided they wanted our food more than we did. First step into Re/Creation Cafe, we were impressed by how wide and spacious the atmosphere was. Very open and inviting. The food didn't disappoint either. The fish tacos (8.5/10) were flaky and flavorful, though a bit messy as the condiments felt more tossed on than placed. The chicken taco (10/10) was my absolute favorite: served in a hard shell with flavors that worked perfectly together. I also snagged a bite of my partner's turkey burger, which was juicy and packed with flavor. Fries were also amazing - it hit that perfect balance of crispy on the outside, soft in the middle. Unfortunately, the major downside was the number of flies. I get that the space is open in the back, but it really impacted the experience. We spent a good chunk of our meal swatting them away. It was hard to fully enjoy my taco with uninvited guests hovering around :( Still, if you can look past the flies, it's a solid spot. Just something to keep in mind if you're planning a visit. Street parking readily available. read more

We visited the café for a casual dinner, and it turned out to be such a great experience. The ambiance is amazing -- they host trivia nights, drink-and-paint events, and many other fun activities throughout the week, which makes the place pretty lively. The food was absolutely delicious -- a perfect 5/5! The vibe is simply wow, and the service is impressively quick.

I'm honestly confused by this place. They advertise "fresh food" like that's supposed to be a standout... when that should already be the baseline at any restaurant. What really got me was being charged extra for jelly. Their reasoning is that it's "homemade," but let's be real, homemade jelly does not cost enough to justify an upcharge like that. It just feels unnecessary, especially when we already live in a world with so much waste and overpricing. As for the food, it was okay. The chicken was good, I'll give them that. Everything else leaned pretty bland. The side salad was actually the highlight for me, fresh and flavorful with sunflower seeds. My colleague had the tomato soup, which had coconut cream in it. It wasn't bad, just had a slightly off flavor. However, what's more concerning is that the coconut wasn't clearly listed. That's a serious issue, especially for people with allergies. Someone like my foster mom, who is severely allergic to coconut, could have had a dangerous reaction. The space itself is cute. They seem to have a lot going on with events like salsa classes, jazz or karaoke nights, and other community offerings, which is a nice touch. That said, it feels like it caters to a very specific crowd, and overall, it's just not a place I'd return to read more

Re/creation Cafe - The Guatemalan - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Wonderful Cozy Cafe (with a catch if you don't mind it) So I've eaten here about close to 10 times usually on Friday-Sunday. My go to: cornbread waffle with ricotta and fruits, sweet potato fries with sauce, and any of the warm teas, fish tacos. Food consistency: 4/5 - generally the food that comes out and tastes okay like it could be cooked longer. And sometimes it tastes good. (See photos for the changes) Fish taco is a good size for a semi light meal, great for those that are not too hungry. Sweet potatoes fries is baked then fried again- taste delicious, great for by yourself and with the crowd! Personally I highly recommend the sweet potato fries!! Avocado toast was a solid one - it didn't stand out as anything unique. Matte Latte was good to fulfill immediate craving but it wouldn't be my go-to. Specifically since we get the waffle each time without fail we can see how much they range on the fruits.. from maybe 2 strawberries and a few blueberries and one slice of banana to 3x that amount. Sometimes the waffle comes out barely finished cooking and other times just right. See the pictures for the couple times I did take photos. I would say 7/10 times they are good. Ambiance: 10/10 - it can get loud at times. They limit computer use here. Otherwise great place to hang with friends and groups. Family welcome here too. Even seen Church groups here too. Service: 8/10 - sometimes they forget your orders or bring it when it is already cold...or ask what did you get.. and most time they remember you need your order, it really depends on how busy they are. They try their best! Parking: Not difficult around lunch time Friday-Sunday. Street parking, can park alongside on the wide street or residential street. Restroom: Yes, handicap friendly for the most part with large space and accessibility bars. The sink height might be challenge, depends on user. They do provide toilet seat cover. read more

Popped in on Tuesday around 11:15a. I forgot I've had this place bookmarked! I ordered the pickford breakfast sando and an iced matcha with lavender and almond milk. I can't recall having a lavender matcha with such a full lavender flavor in the past...I really enjoyed it. The breakfast sandwich was a savory spark to my late morning! The chicken sausage patty was excellent - fresh, full of flavor and not salty. The greens were a great touch. I also loved how the cheese is fried but not too crunchy. They really thought through this sandwich! The English muffin makes it a little messy to the the touch, but it's worth it. I did feel like it was missing a Jelly or sauce of sorts. They gave me some strawberry jam, but I wonder if a pomegranate pepper jelly or something along those lines would do the trick. I'll definitely return to try more items. The space is open with high ceilings and outdoor space. read more

A homey-yet-elevated, quintessential LA coffee shop serving tasty breakfast & lunch creations. I had the Vietnamese coffee & the cornbread waffles with fruit and ricotta. Was trying to be semi-healthy otherwise I definitely would have opted for fried chicken instead of fruit and ricotta, but I enjoyed it nonetheless! The waffle was satisfyingly crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside with a great cornbread flavor. The sage butter served alongside was the star of the show. Richly flavored with herbal sage, and a slight milky sweetness. It made for a perfect companion to the waffle. The ricotta was a little confusing and underwhelming, as it was not creamy, rather crumbly and slightly sour... this is why I've docked a star. Would not recommend it as a topping. Vietnamese coffee is one of my favorite drinks so I had to try Re/creation's. It was delicious. Not too sweet as Vietnamese coffee often is. Deep caramelly flavor and the perfect punch of caffeine. I tasted the Guatemalan breakfast from my mom's plate and it was divine. I will be getting that next time. That salsa is just wow. Would return. read more

I really enjoyed my time here. To start off I showed up maybe 7 minutes before they opened. The door was locked so we were going to go for a walk when the gentleman working the register this morning opened the door for us and let us hang out and look at the menu meanwhile they opened up. I had a latte and my wife had a cafe de olla latte. Both were not only presented absolutely beautifully, they tasted great! She had a coffee cake and I had an order of fries both were delectable. We loved it so much we at are planning to come back for Mother's Day. Also, I plan to bring my daughter so she can paint. I would also love to see the live music or open mic one of these nights! Can't wait to be back! Shout out to the barista with the hat and the braids. She was very helpful informing us on the events and was very kind from the moment we walked in. read more

I finally tried this spot after hearing about their biscuit chicken sandwich. Ordered it on Uber Eats, and it came out to $24, which is definitely on the higher end for a chicken sandwich, but I was curious. The biscuits were legit. Flaky, buttery, held everything together without falling apart. The toppings worked well too, the jalapeños gave it a nice kick, and the coleslaw added some crunch and freshness. Flavor wise, it hit most of the right notes. The chicken was undercooked. One bite was fine, then I hit this pink, super chewy part that felt way too raw. Kinda killed the vibe after that. I didn't finish the rest. Honestly, if the chicken had been cooked properly, it would've been a solid sandwich. But for $24, you expect it to be dialed in. Minus one star for that. read more

I really wanted to live this place. I had checked it out during Mid-city fest and it was so cute! My partner and I got lunch there yesterday and unfortunately the food was incredibly underwhelming. I got a seasonal iced tea and it was so syrupy sweet that I sent it back to get something unsweetened. I didn't ask but I don't expect to have sweet tea in LA either but the unsweetened black iced tea they had was fine. I got the Caesar salad with salmon - the fish was cooked perfectly and had a nice crispy skin. The rest didn't have much flavor and u realized several of the listed components were not in the salad: Parmesan cheese, garlic croutons and spiced sunflower seeds. I asked the server to bring out the other components and he brought the cheese, croutons and watermelon radish. I asked again for the sunflower seeds. Somehow NONE of these had any flavor? The crotons weren't garlicky and the sunflower seeds were not seasoned. Maybe coffees and breakfast are better? The service was nice and the ambiance awesome. I wanna give it another shot but was so disappointed read more

This is one of my favorite places to have work breakfasts and lunches! Now let's get one awkward thing out of the way: yes, they have specific policies on working on your laptop here. During weekends they don't let you at all. During the weekdays you can only work for one hour at a time. Personally, this has never bothered me as I love to go here to eat and talk to someone but just throwing that out there for people who want to come work here. On to the coffee and the food! I've had their lattes and their Vietnamese coffees and everything inbetween. Each one has been rather tasty! As for the food. I'm a sucker for their biscuits. I always get a side of them with whatever meal I'm having. Special shout out to their baked goods too. LOVE their cinnamon roll! I personally love all their breakfast items, particularly their English breakfast. Their fried chicken sandwich is also very tasty. All in all everything is fresh and handmade. Can't really go wrong! The service is always phenomenal, fast and friendly! Everyone enjoys working there - you can tell! There are lots of cozy places to sit inside but also a lovely back patio that provides plenty of places to chill and eat. Also the place is rather multi purpose. I know someone mentioned they do movies in the outdoor area and they do paint n sips with wine sometimes too. But again, I just really like coming here for good food and networking meals. For parking I've never had an issue finding a spot on Hillcrest, the street west of the location. read more
