Crema's Take

“Café Tropical earned its reputation on fundamentals done right: hand-rolled Cuban pastries that rival the best in the city, strong espresso drinks, and breakfast sandwiches built on pillowy Cuban bread that practically dissolves on your tongue. The vibe strikes that rare balance between a serious coffee destination and a genuine neighborhood gathering spot where regulars and first-timers alike feel welcomed. If you want specialty coffee that doesn't take itself too seriously, paired with some of the most craveable breakfast food in LA, this is your spot.”

What to expect

Cold brew standout. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

A gem in our city. Fresh ingredients making delicious meals and treats, this pancake changed my brain chemistry crispy edges, soft center, and I crosscut for ultimate maple syrup absorption. Do not miss! 100/10 Coffee is also amazing, best drip in town.

Café Tropical is a great local spot for classic Cuban comfort food and strong coffee. The sandwiches are flavorful, portions are solid, and service is quick. Perfect for breakfast or lunch. It can get busy, but it's worth the stop.

The best coffee shop in Los Angeles, hands-down. The pastries are amazing. Some of the best in the city. The coffee is tasty. Vibes are perfect. They also do a lot of outreach to the community to help support people in need. Come and support them. I’m headed there right now!

I have been meaning to try this place for a while and I am glad I finally did. The breakfast sandwich is all about the Cuban bread. It was so incredibly soft and almost melts in your mouth. I also liked the way they incorporate the bacon into the egg which was unique. The guava…
