South LA Cafe
1700 Browning Blvd, Los Angeles, CA
Crema's Take
“South LA Cafe is a genuine community hub where the coffee is consistently excellent and the pastries from Homeboy Industries are something special to look forward to. The spacious outdoor seating and welcoming vibe make it perfect for lingering over work or conversation, though indoor seating fills up fast during busy times. It's the kind of neighborhood spot that feels like a mood-lifter before your day, with service that makes you feel genuinely valued as a regular.”

Typically come here because i like supporting local businesses. The atmosphere is great, theres plenty of seating outside but limited seating indoors. When theres a lot of foot traffic, orders are easily lost. The bagels & coffee are pretty good.
First time here and they definitely gained a customer! That coffee cake reminds you of the good old days growing up. The vanilla latte is great too!
Bought two Vanilla Cappuccinos large size, both taste decent, one of them is 3/4 full. To be my first time here I'd rather not come back for the price that it was. Too expensive for what I got.
Love everything about this place. From the smooth ambience to the proximity of it to my workplace. It's definitely a mood enhancer and stress decompressor before I walk to my job. They have wonderful artwork and are at the forefront of public health awareness and art for this great community and all the people who come here.
Love South LA Cafe ♥️ Coffee is always on point, pastries from Homeboy Industries are always amazing, and the service is the best part! It is a true community spot where people are working, conversing, and the cafe seems to always be doing things for the community like food drives. I always love the coffee but tried an empanada on my last visit and it was delicious too! Parking is easy, outlets for when you need to work, clean, and welcoming
