Stopped by to try a juice on a Saturday morning. I think the owner was the only one working so she was busy but I didn't wait too long for my drink. The service was great, owner was friendly and accommodating. The outside patio was my favorite. They have music playing and you can sit and enjoy all the plants. It was very relaxing. I got the tres en uno jugo and it was good! I will be back to try a torta and a smoothie next time. You have to look for street parking, there's no private parking lot. Overall, though it's a great corner cafe for a quick bite to eat and/or refreshing juice/smoothie. I definitely recommend stopping by read more

I came here with my boyfriend in the morning to grab food before work. We do not eat meat so we were very happy they had options for us. We got both got the soy chorizo tortas. The bread was soft and crispy as it was toasted inside and out. The tortas felt like it was made with love. I also asked if the owner was around but it's currently being run by the daughter so I believe it's woman owned. The outside was very nice as it's covered in plants and felt nice to enjoy our morning read more

The plants are what got me here the food, service, plants, agua fresca, and good vibes are what's going to bring me back. I found this place on yelp and wanted to check it out . It's not easy to find a nice place to eat outside around here and this little cafe has made this little corner inviting and relaxing to sit and enjoy your lunch. I had the chicken pita it was good and really big it came with sliced oranges with Tajín, the perfect side. I had the pineapple agua fresca it was very refreshing. The lady that helped me was so friendly and helpful. I will definitely come back and recommend it if you're in the area. read more

I ordered a toasted everything bagel with cream cheese. I got my food quickly and the people working were friendly. The bagel was pretty standard. It tasted very similar to a lot of other "everything" bagels I've had. The same goes for the cream cheese. The price is very reasonable and slightly cheaper than other options. I'd go again if I didn't want anything fancy or different. read more

I almost want to gate keep this gem -- but they are so kind and caring with their food and service. I wouldn't want to cost them the business. These tortas are incredible. I'm vegetarian and the veggie one is spot on. I've brought my friend to eat meat, also raving reviews. Presentation is delightful with tasty oranges and a shake tajin on the side. I also love the charming outdoor seating. Go check it out read more

Absolutely cute cafe here in city terrace. My green juice drink was exactly what I wanted in a green juice. Hubby got a tropical milk smoothie (effects of Hawaii lol) and an almond croissant. Everything was really good. Outside seating is really lovely with light jazz playing. read more

Awesome little cafe that's locally owned. Their tuna torta was excellent. I could tell they freshly mixed the tuna and the assembly was neat, veggies super fresh ($11). The toasted bread was so light and delicious. Got a watermelon agua Fresca and they freshly made it too. So good and worth the $5. It's a cute homey space with a ton of hummingbirds flying around the feeder, butterflies, and plants outside. Love it and definitely will be back! read more

I have now been here twice. Each time I have been met with such wholesome customer service and nice long talks that include some great wisdom. First time I got a Milanesa torta and I LOVED IT!! I came again for another a week later but unfortunately they didn't have any, but I took home a chicken torta which was honestly just as delicious. Such a comfortable environment and you can tell they are all about their community. Such an awesome small business and I'll definitely be back again because I still want that milanesa torta! Highly recommend!!!! read more

If I could give 10 stars I would! We had the milanesa torta, the açaí bowl and the green juice. The torta was not over or under seasoned, it came with fresh veggies that complemented the bread and meat. The torta also came with slices or orange on the side topped with Tajín. The açaí bowl had various textures and flavors that blended well together such as the flakes of coconut and fresh banana along with crunchy granola. The green juice was not too sweet which is our favorite kind of juice...we could actually taste the ingredients of the greens. The owner was also very sweet and took her time to talk to us. We sat outside in the beautiful 77 degree weather enjoying the plants and jazz music playing. If I could come here everyday I would! read more

Quaint. Healthy. Delicious. Inexpensive. Lovely, friendly people take your order and serve you. Super quick service, perfect for any time of the day. I had a cinnamon muffin and a green juice - they had no issue doing it without the fruit so I could have just veggies and greens with ginger. It was perfect. read more

I am in Los Angeles visiting friends. This morning they both had to go out to work so it was time to fend for myself and find some breakfast. I looked around on the Internet and found this cozy little place and it took me about a half an hour to walk from my friends home, and... It was worth the walk. It's a tiny little place where you go in and a mother and daughter are behind the counter. Mom is cooking and daughter is serving. I had a ham and cheese torta, and it is scrumptious. The two of them couldn't be more welcoming to a stranger, and the outdoor dining on these cute little tables with a nice view, and an even nicer breeze made the morning special. If you get a chance I highly recommend this little gem in East LA. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this little cafe. Such a warm and welcoming feeling from the moment you enter the door, perfect for the local community. The food is 15/10. Delicious. Authentic. The woman working this morning was so kind to my husband, they conversed and laughed the whole time she made our breakfast. Which was fresh and made right there in front of us. The overall experience was just delightful and really made a difference in our day. We will 10000% be back. We ordered the Chorizo and egg torta (insanely good, fresh veggies were amazing) and a ham, egg, and cheese bagel that had cream cheese (also insanely good). Delicious!!!!!! read more
