BB's Cafe

We decided to come here after church because of yelp review. It did not frustrate our expectations. The food is great. The chicken, waffle, and fries.They have limited seating that can only occupy 12 people on three tables. But service rendered by DK is awesome. The price for the food we eat is considerably cheap.I will give this experience with 4.8.

BB's Cafe serves fresh ingredients and cooks to order. The Chicken (4 pieces) & Waffle costs $14.95. There's no line, and I waited 11 minutes. I arrived 9AM on a weekend.The chicken is freshly cooked. The skin is lightly crisp and dry. The chicken is not oily; rather, the ingredients taste clean and fresh. The pieces are small, and its bone is thick. The chicken had very little seasoning. It's a freshly cooked chicken with little flavor.The warm, thick waffle is more memorable than the chicken. The waffle is firm, fluffy, and filling. The melted butter and syrup added to the waffle's savory taste. BB's Cafe is small. There's three small tables with chairs inside. There's no bathroom for customers; the server recommended walking across the street to use the park's bathroom. Thankfully, they provide a tiny hand-wipe for customers to wipe their hands. Also, BB's Cafe does not offer water in a cup; if customers want water, they need to purchase a water bottle. In addition, the indoor dining area is chilly from the open door. Bring a jacket if you want to eat inside this winter. And parking is very limited. If customers can't find nearby street parking, customers must park across the street and walk over. I recommend ordering to-go.The staff is welcoming and friendly. They greet the customer as you enter and leave. Overall, BB's Cafe is a good experience. The food is fresh. It's not unique, memorable food, but it's a satisfying bite.

First time in the area and found BB's Cafe on Yelp so I had to try a Black Owned Restaurant and it did NOT disappoint.Michelle was SO KIND and knows how to hold a conversation. I learned more about her and her mom, BB. BB even greeted me. Customer service is TOP TIER!!!Now.... I had chicken and waffles. The price point is what really had me. But then the FOOD is literally chef's kiss. The chicken was fried so perfectly, golden and season so well. It was just right. The waffle is a waffle but it was GOOD. I really wanted the 5 piece chicken and to order Mac and cheese until I was saddened to hear there was no more Mac and cheese. I also went an hour prior to them closing. But I originally did go for chicken and waffles and I was satisfied. It is a small location and have about 3 tables that sit 4. I found a parking spot right in front of the restaurant so I was content but there are a lot of open spots. It is a great location and perfect for a nice to go order. I can't wait to come back because Michelle made me feel like family and BB's food is to brag about. I can't wait to try more if I am in the area again.

This tiny store front is really intended to be a pick up location rather than a sit down restaurant. There is some seating, but only for a maximum of 12 inside.Their specialty is their fried chicken and waffles. I loved their chicken, with its very southern, deliciously seasoned cornmeal crust. It made the pieces come out quite juicy and flavorful, and had a great crunch. I only wish they were full pieces, not 4 smaller but plump, wing parts.The waffle was not my favorite. I prefer a crisp crust. This one was spongy made from a relatively bland batter. But they did serve it with real butter, and butter goes a long ways to improving the shortcomings. I popped my leftovers in my toaster the next day, and that helped.I ordered an extra side of Mac & cheese (for research purposes, of course!) but it did not win my heart either. I am always on the hunt for a sharp Cheddar cheese recipe, and this tasted more creamy, like American cheese quality. I am also a big fan of a buttery baked crumb topping, but this had none. If we returned, I would most likely buy the chicken by the piece and skip the sides.Peach Cobbler, just ok. The crust was too doughy for my tastes and lacking in flavor as compared to another cobbler we had purchased that same day from a different Soul Food restaurant. The filling was also quite soupy.They also offer smoked meats which they smoke in a different location. Mr B ordered a brisket sandwich to go, which he later described as being too lean for his tastes. It had plenty of meat and was sauced up with a good tasting, sweet Bbq sauce. This came with a choice of 1 side.The employees were very sweet and attentive. And the prices were reasonable. I only saw parking on the street. Not sure if more is needed, actually, considering they are so tiny.

Outstanding fried chicken and waffles. Fair prices. Small inside but it's cozy and I love the decor. Very accommodating service. Homey feel.

Wanted to give BB's Cafe a try since it is highly reviewed, but perhaps we went on an off day.Pan Fried Catfish ($15.95): ~3 pieces of thin crispy catfish served alongside fries and two sides of your choice; we opted for the fried okra and collard greens. This dish was a miss for us all as the catfish had the very strong distinct fish flavor and we couldn't eat too much of it. Chicken & Waffles ($12.95): Probably the best item on the menu - a whole waffle served alongside 3 pieces of juicy + tender chicken. Maple syrup and butter on the side for the waffles. Waffles are probably best if you dine in but it was still good when we did take-out and the chicken remained crispy. Breakfast Burrito w/ Pulled Pork ($9.50): Average breakfast burrito, definitely needed the sauce as the pulled pork was a bit dry. I did appreciate that they did not skimp on the pulled pork.Glad I tried it and would come back for the chicken & waffles only.

We were told this place had some good chicken and waffles so we decided to check it out. It's been in the area for few years and we kept driving by it had not stopped. So had we finally did! The food was delicious and the cafe is cute girly and they play some great music too.

Where are the Soul Food spots in SGV vicinity??? A friend drove in from Palm Springs and we were looking for a soul food spot without having to go to LA and had to settle on BB's Cafe in Covina. I tried their food years ago and was somewhat disappointed so I never went back til today. So I'm thinking, they're still in business, maybe they got better...NOT!! I feel so bad in writing this because the hostess Michelle was sooo sweet, and funny, and accommodating. And she asked for a Yelp review. Canned yams, canned greens, at least that's what it tastes like. Almost no batter on the catfish. The shrimp, however, were delicious. Hush puppies which I don't usually eat were delicious. Mac n cheese was good but a little dry. And the potato salad was a little too tart with too many bell peppers and black olives in it. Everything served in styrofoam containers and paper plates even when you dine in. Next time I'll just make my own soul food at home. I don't wanna give up on them because it's the only soul food place in the SGV/Eastern part of LA County. Who wants to go all the way to LA? I'm sorry Michelle. Your personality makes it worth another try. But it might be a while before we try again.

Wanted to try it thought it closed just realized it moved locations now rush over there it's not even 2:00 and it's closed !!!

Food was great. Customer service was great. Highly recommend going back soon. Easy to find
