L A Cafe

La is that spot where you go and get the not so mainstream. The place is just cool all kinds of weird swag in the doors and cabinets full of things this and that you could pick up why you wait for your table. Then once you get is your table the menu is not the regular two eggs and hash browns, no you get to scrambles whatever they're called here at the LA Cafe no it's cool, total hipster. Get yourself a fancy fufu drink, but it tastes good and the food's good no doubt. You got to love LA Cafe come in because this isn't Coney Island it's a real experience and a real local diner that has some soul. Give him some love and tip the waitresses well you all know they need it.

Cute Hippie Vibes, But the Food Falls ShortThis small, charming spot has a lot of potential with its cute, hippie-inspired decor and cozy, intimate tables. However, the food left much to be desired. I ordered the mushroom burger, which turned out to be a bland, frozen patty with no seasoning--definitely a disappointment. It was a freezer-burned patty so dry and bland with a noticeable off flavor. The texture was tough and chewy, and almost cardboard-like taste. The juiciness and freshness of the meat was definitely lost. While the coffee was decent, the overall experience was underwhelming. With a better cook and more attention to flavor, this place could really shine. Hoping they improve because the cute atmosphere deserves better food.

Great food. Interesting food choices. Friendly. Love the hippie fun vibe. The painting on the outside is inviting and fun!

This cute, quirky cafe has so much potential. So close to being a four or even five star dining experience. All the right ingredients are present; the mix just needs a little pep and creativity. We stopped on our way home from Indian Springs Metro Park. The reviews piqued our curiosity and the fun murals and silly slogans in view from the windows drew us in. On a Sunday just past noon, given how small the restaurant is, we knew we would be waiting. With only one party ahead of us, the 20-minute wait was fine. There is lots of look at inside as you wait. LOTS of SoCA, Hollywood, retro, stoner, caffeine/loving trinkets. The hostess and servers were friendly and laid back. Definitely a vibe that fit the cafe, yet the downside is it took a very long time to order, wait for our food, pay and be on our way. We didn't track the time it took our order to arrive at our table, but it was lengthy; my husband and I both felt antsy. The cafe is tiny with maybe 10 tables and the help seemed adequate. Not sure what the slow pace was about; the staff just didn't seem too enthused. Interestingly, there's a sign on the door that asks people to not stay more than an hour. With the pace of the service, this might not be an easy task. Our server checked on us once but actually appeared less available as the cafe slowed down. Small gestures, like filling water glasses, were missing. We always chalk these errors up to poor training as the staff seemed kind but naive. The selections on the menu are creative and filled with fresh ingredients. Plant-based eaters will have plenty of options. There were so many choices of sandwiches, burgers, wraps, salads soups and brunch items. Someone put a lot of thought into this menu. The presentation of our food was wonderful, as were the dishes that passed by in their way to adjoining table. My hash brown with three toppings and cheese was piping hot and very tasty. Unfortunately, my husband's Turkey burger and wedgie fries were luke warm. Similarly, our mochas were beautiful and decedent, but not as hot as they should have been. We asked if they made their own Turkey burgers and were told yes; however, fairly sure it was a premade burger as it was bland and a perfectly formed circle. The burger looked wonderful, but tasted bland. Additionally, the homemade slaw was a nice addition to the burger yet it was also very bland. The chips that came with the burger never arrived at our table, but the portions were filling so my husband skipped the chips. The wedgie fries were well seasoned and the dipping sauce was good. My spud creation was appealing, with fresh potatoes and spinach and flavorful due to the choice of flavorful corned beef. The portions are ample and the cost is a good value. We left with a carry out box which will make a nice breakfast tomorrow. With a little more energy, spicy and heat, this cafe would rock it. Hope they reconnect with that LA vibe and bring it home.

Couldn't decide on a place to eat so we stopped in somewhere we've never been. Great choice! Really liked the vibe and area to purchase gifts.

Great breakfast food I had the Popeye Scromelette with potatoes and rye toast. I had the mushroom and Swiss on a black bean burger. Delicious coffee drinks. Neat, little restaurant with a gift shop. Adore this place Everyone is super kind Vegan and Gluten-free options Homemade scones and desserts Mid price average

Such an interesting & unique cafe - I dig it! I would've never thought that there would be a very LA, kitschy, Hollywood themed kind of cafe in the middle of Waterford, Michigan, but enter LA Cafe! Such a fun idea!Being scared shitless by a life-size Elvis cardboard cutout as I walked out of the bathroom aside, this place is filled to the brim (literally) with LA-related decor & you almost feel like you're in one of those touristy gift shops on Hollywood Boulevard as you page through this cafe's impressive menu.There are a TON of vegan options here, which is awesome since I came here with my vegan friend. They've also got all your classic breakfast/lunch diner foods your little heart could hope for. As for me, I got their Huntington sandwich, a grilled chicken melt, which was a bit bland, but still delicious. Glad we checked this place out! From the road, I would've never expected the inside to look the way it did & now I know! :) If you're curious as well, I encourage you to pop in for a quick bite as well!

We've driven past this quirky little cafe for 7 years and finally stopped in for breakfast. I'm glad we did but sad we didn't do it sooner! We ordered scrambled eggs with sourdough toast, fruit cup & sides of guacamole & salsa and also the lemon blueberry pancakes. There was a bit of a wait for our food, but our waitress made sure our coffee cups stayed full. The eggs were fluffy & delicious, a tad runny but no big deal. The pancakes were HUGE and soooo good! We ordered a half portion but still couldn't finish it. I love the quirky vibe inside with all kinds of fun items for sale, including lots of tie dye stuff and fun socks. The lunch menu also looks very tempting, so we plan to be back soon for lunch.

Cool spot on Dixie Highway think coffeeshop meets Archie McPhee catalogue. Former burger place repurposed to coffee/food joint. Tons of cool swag to buy. Coffee and biscotti were very good. Attentive staff gave great service . Owner manning the counter when we were there . A review in progress as I didn't sample 99% of the menu. Hipster cool without the hipster ugh! L. A. Cafe. Like uh yeah!... Go!!

I absolutely adore this place. It holds a special place in my heart. So quirky and cool, you can never forget it. It's the perfect date spot, there is so much to look at and talk about from just the decor. LA Cafe is a "hipster's paradise". It's a coffee shop/restaurant/gift store all in one. It's the cutest little place with more inside than meets the eye.. They have super unique speciality drinks that are different delicious flavors of coffee & hot chocolate. Not to mention they have pretty much any flavor of syrup you could dream of! But the best part is it isn't just a coffee shop, they also have great food! From breakfast bowls to veggie burgers to pizza, LA Cafe provides. They also have a ton of vegan & vegetarian options for those looking. The fun doesn't have to end after eating here either, they have a ton of cool art and other things for sale all around you, so if you like what you see, you can buy it! They have stickers, posters, T-shirt's, mugs, and novelty items. You can easily spend more time and money here than you ever thought you would. I've always been a huge fan of this place and I try to recommend it to anyone and everyone looking for a cool place to go. I can't stop coming back!
