Angel City
16507 Bellflower Blvd, Artesia, CA
Crema's Take
“Angel City is a beloved community hub that's been serving thoughtful coffee and hosting live music for over two decades, powered entirely by passionate volunteers who curate everything from the sound engineering to band pairings with real care. The vibe here is genuinely unpretentious—it's a place where you can linger with excellent coffee, catch faith-based live music, and actually connect with people, whether that's friends or strangers becoming friends. What sets it apart isn't flashiness but authenticity: a Christian-rooted space that takes its music programming seriously and creates the kind of welcoming atmosphere where both longtime regulars and first-time visitors feel at home.”

They serve great coffee and have great music. Really nice place to hang out with friends, and to make new ones. February 28th, 2026 there will be two band's playing that night, White Noise Revival and 3 Days In The Grave. Two great Metal bands on one Stage.
Great coffee and great vibes
My boyfriend is in a Christan rock band. They played here at Angel City and the band they were paired with to play was so well matched with their style. They did a wonderful job with pairing them up. It was a fun, happy, family-friendly, Christian environment that I look forward to returning to. The staff is all there by volunteer only do it shows that they are passionate about the vision.
This place is great. It's been here over 20 years. Its 100% volunteer run. I've been volunteering here since September 2016. I currently do the sound and lighting for all the shows.
This is one of the most underrated places to hang out, get a coffee, maybe something to eat. Not too fancy, just super chill. It is a Christian establishment with rocking faith based music. The place has a lot of history. The greatest Christian rock bands have played there, Stryper and more. They have won awards as an LA music venue. It has been called the Whisky A Go-Go of Christian Metal.
