Kafela

The owner was really nice and the place is very cute. I got the billion dollar smoothie which was really good. I love me the garlic tots.. it got three stars because my bagel was burnt literally all I could smell and my bacon was overcooked. I have high hopes for this place so I will be going back to try something else

Kafela Taco Tuesday Specials price point at $3.00 each is pocket friendly. I decided to try one of each taco offered chicken, shrimp and salmon. I would have placed an online order, except the menu did not clearly state what is on the taco. Therefore, a very short drive to look at the menu and placed my order. Service was speedy and efficient, which explains why all the food was served cold, even the fries. I was surprised, because this is unlike what I expected, especially since I have patronized this establishment before and received exceptional, freshly prepared food. I will definitely be back, probably during the lunch hour. I'm sure it was a fluke. By the way, congratulations on your 4 year anniversary Kafela!

Kafela is a St. Clair-Superior neighborhood gem! This breakfast and lunch cafe gives off such a positive vibe from the moment you walk in. I was greeted not only by a friendly face at the counter, but also many large green plants and sunlight filling the space. All of the menu items are named after locations and nods to sunny Los Angles. I got the Berry Much L.A. smoothie which was delish. I also got the Lavender Love Spell drink, which was lemonade with a lavendar butterfly tea that sparkled! For my meal, I got the chicken ceasar wrap with a side of sweet potato fries. The wrap was good. Classic caesar, although the chicken was well seasoned and I liked that the wrap was partially toasted. The sweet potato fries were delicious. When I inquired about the seasoning on the fries, I was told that they made their own sunshine blend to sprinkle on top. I couldn't place the flavors, but it was amazing! The star of my meal was the deep fried oreos. I wanted to leave with something sweet and these oreos did not disappoint! They had a chocolate drizzle and powdered sugar on top and came with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream. Fried oreos are usually only good when they're hot, I ate these cold all throughout the day and enjoyed every bite. The best part of Kafela is seeing how much of a gathering space it's become for people in the neighborhood. There were so many members of the community coming in throughout the time I was there to pick up a smoothie, order lunch, or just say hello and chat with the owner or other patrons. It truly felt like a place you could call home and I loved that.

I visited on May 1st, 2023 to pick up a smoothie courtesy of Yelp (complimentary) and while there, I decided to also order a breakfast sandwich. FOOD -- Their menu is extensive with plenty to choose from. They have alot of different sandwiches which can also be made into a salad. I ordered a breakfast sandwich ($12), specifically, the 'The Six Fo' sandwich. It consists of turkey sausage, two scrambled eggs, tomatoes, and I got mine without mayo and without cheese. The breakfast sandwich was tasty and a good amount so it left me full. It's a great protein option to start off your day. I wish the bread was more toasted and the eggs had more flavour. Actually some salt and pepper would have done the trick. The sausage and eggs needed more flavour such as hot sauce but I added ketchup when I arrived back home. SMOOTHIES -- There are many smoothies to choose from and I love that non-dairy milk is available. I choose the B Green Smoothie which includes Kale, Spinach, Peanut Butter, Banana, milk (I got non-dairy (Almond) milk) and frozen yogurt (I got non-dairy yogurt). The smoothie is very thick and rich. It is perfect for a post-workout fuel. It is definitely heavy on the peanut butter but I love the taste of peanut butter. SERVICE -- I was greeted when I walked in by the owner Kayla who was really friendly. She answered my questions about her business which opened in late 2020. AMBIANCE -- I love their cute pink selfie wall with KAFELA written on the wall. It is a small cafe so I imagine that most people take their order to go but I noticed a few tables and chairs towards the back.I'll most likely be back to try a different smoothie because I loved the one I had this morning. Their shrimp and grits, as pointed out to me by the owner Kayla looks delicious too.****- 51/150 total reviews in 2023- 602 total overall Yelp reviews- Reviewed on 1 May 2023

Ok, so I haven't been here, someone brought me lunch from here and I don't ever want to loose track of this spot. Talk about delicious. I had a vegan wrap and I kept checking to make sure it was. The flavor was amazing. Soul rolls, fries everybody raved about the food. Yummy

It was my first time at this establishment. I was greeted warmly upon entry. I love how colorful and inviting this place is. I was pleasantly surprised by the diverse menu. I chose the LA Sunshine smoothie. I can't wait to return and try some food items. They have food specials and a nice variety of smoothies, tea and other drinks. There is a cozy seating area with a couple games to play. I recommend this hidden gem!

Great spot for counter service lunch or to-go. The spot's brand is LA vibes and you definitely feel it from the moment you walk through the door. From the decor and art on the walls to the soft beats playing throughout the spot. I ordered the Kafe overload, chicken nachos, from the specials menu along with salmon tacos. Both came fully loaned with plenty of meat, veggies and seasoning.

Super delicious ,amazing smoothies and salmon and waffles! Highly recommend! Go now. The staff is very friendly and attentive and welcoming.

A+ Buffalo chicken wrap and fries! Really cool bright and colorful space with good music playing and a great menu selection. I can't wait to go back and try new items. The salmon Philly wrap is calling my name!

Ordered the ur way sandwich as a wrap definitely small and not worth $14. I placed my order at 11:55a was told 10-13 mins top. Did not get my food till 12:37p. Smoothie did not look like the photos but was tasty. Not sure I'll be back .
