50 Best Cafes near Compton

“nice relaxing atmospuhere“

“Guerrilla Cafecito is a great breakfast burrito joint & coffee house from the team behind Guerrilla Taco. The GTLA (steak & papas) breakfast burrito is the best in the city. Tortillas from Mejorado, so you already know. My only complaint… a little stingy on the salsa. But it’s 2024, so bidenomics and whatnot. I get it. But don’t let that stop you. The burritos here are out of this world.“

“This Vietnamese spot quietly sits inside a bland strip mall but surprises in every bite. The pho was rich and fragrant, and their pho‑French‑dip banh mi served on Persian bread was unforgettable. I appreciated how inventive yet respectful their flavor combinations stayed. Seating is minimal, but the staff are attentive and efficient. It’s precisely the sort of hidden gem locals appreciate—not glossy, just excellent food“

“De passage chez Eclair&café Excellentes pâtisseries Accueil au top, chaleureux merci pour ce bon moment 👍 De vrais professionnels !!! N hésitez pas à y faire un tour si vous êtes de passage dans le coin“

“Great all around food choices with excellent quality! All the staff are personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. Great service with great prices!! Love Appu’s“

“Kyucafe was highly recommended by friends and family, so I gave it a try! Drinks are made with care and precision, the prepared food is extremely fresh and perfectly portioned! They have the viral self-service Korean ramen stations as well!! Plentiful parking in the back! Will be coming back!!“

“Nice vibes, convenient location with easy parking, beautiful decor. Service was lacking, but understand there is a labor shortage right now, perhaps that's to blame here. Bodega sando was perfection! Pastries were alright...most looked better than they tasted. I'd say they were good but not great.“

“I have been trying to get in severally times but fail due to overcrowded not taking reservations. Other than that, good restaurant for breakfast n lunch, closed at 2pm“

“The reviews are on point!!! The best cheesecake I've ever had!! It is so rich and creamy, but not overwhelmingly so. So many flavors and they are all delicious!! I buy them to celebrate my team at work, and it is a hit EVERY TIME!!! Thank you Doll Babee's!!!!“

“Very healthy and delicious breakfast/lunch sandwiches (organic produce), salads and Coffee ☕️...and pastries...LAUSD Coffee cake the BEST 😋😋“

A hidden gem with a live DJ on Saturday Morning. Oh and the coffee's delicious too

“From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for something special. The ambiance was warm and elegant, with just the right mix of sophistication and comfort. Every detail was thoughtfully executed — from the lighting to the music to the attentive, professional staff.

The food? Unforgettable. Every dish was a masterpiece, both in flavor and presentation. The ingredients were clearly top-quality and prepared with incredible skill. My [insert favorite dish] was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor, and the dessert — wow. Easily one of the best meals I’ve ever had.“

“es el mejor lugar los mejores cafes y postres ynoseles olvide llevar su rikisimo pastel selos recomiendo. está rikisimo todo“

“Always spotted this place when I’m in the area and decided to try it. The food took me by surprise. I had the chicken and waffle plate, the chicken and was nice and crunchy and juicy. This place is very hidden and located near the post office of HP. A true hidden place this cafe is. The service was wonderful! Always checking up on us if we were fine and if the food was good. Highly recommend!“

“The staff was really rude, it was a guy in the back just ignoring the fact I had just got there to order... and didn't even greet or anything just stared and continued to do whatever he was doing.. wait for about 20mins before leaving.. I even had eye contact with him😒😒“

“The staff and owners are beyond amazing!! Their love for the community and passion to serve others makes me believe in goodness again in this world. I love you guys! Thank you so much for all you do!!“

“Great food, fabulous service and a great central location make this the perfect downtown location for healthy food in Long Beach!“

“Highly recommend. Service and food are both great!“

“This might be my favorite coffee shop in the area. It has plenty of indoor seating and workspace—perfect to get some remote work or studying done 💻. My favorite drink is the horchata cold brew, half sweet with some oat milk cause the cold brew is stronggg. I love picking out some grocery store items when I’m here too. The seaweed packs and dog snacks are perfect 👌“

“What a wonderful experience! From the friendly staff greeting my party of 5 upon arrival, the amazing food, the jammin’ playlist this was most definitely a top tier experience while visiting LA! We will definitely be returning to HillTop🫶🏽“

“Had the vegan tacos and white pomegranate tea....Absolutely delicious!!!!“

“Cappuccino, espresso, croissant, cornetto, are my favorites, but everything is fresh and delicious! Service and atmosphere is great! Alessandro got it right! Bravo!!“

“I really like it because the food is good and prices reasonable“

“AMBIANCE: This coffee shop is small, pretty laidback, and I like their decor & choice of indie music. Honestly I might come in here more to study or relax if I'm nearby.

FOOD/DRINK: Iced ube almond latte - I wasn't expecting it on the menu. Luckily, I was in the mood for ube these past two days so I'm glad I came when I did! It had a pretty purple color on the top and the starchy flavor of ube to cut into the aftertaste of coffee so all things considered, I enjoyed it a lot.

SERVICE: Chris was quick and accomodating for my dairy allergies! He made the latte in a separate steam pitcher and took the time to talk to me about the warming summer weather. Seems like a nice guy, glad he was my barista today.“

“I like to enjoy my favorite White Chocolate mocha and the good people !! They are very servicial with the customers !“

“Loved the environment & the Food is Amazing 🥰🤓 I hosted my Be You Kickstarter Launch 🚀 Party there.“

“While Porto’s is well-known, the Downey location feels a little less crowded than others. The guava cheese pastry is always a winner—flaky, buttery, and sweet. I tried their Cuban sandwich for lunch, and it was huge and satisfying. The lines move quickly thanks to the efficient staff. Definitely worth the drive for affordable, delicious baked goods“

“We stumbled upon this little café by chance while driving from the airport — and what a hidden gem it turned out to be! I honestly envy the office workers who get to have this place nearby every day.

It's a small café, but everything they serve is top-tier culinary art — the sandwiches, coffee, and salads are absolutely delicious. And the soups… just wow! We tried the pumpkin and broccoli soups — both incredibly tasty and nourishing. My 7-year-old son usually won’t touch broccoli, but he loved their broccoli soup and ate it with great pleasure.

We've only been there a couple of times over the past year, but it’s definitely on our list for every future trip to Los Angeles. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Stopped into Bliss on my way to get my nails done next door. Got my usual drink—an iced vanilla almond milk latte. This one tasted spectacular and I found out it’s because they make their own vanilla syrup with REAL vanilla beans! Wow! Coming back soon!“

“Beautiful space, kind staff, wonderful food and coffee. Will be coming back again & again. ❤️“

“Brought my daughter after jujitsu class... we were ordering and i saw the new reopens drinks and suggested she try one of them... she said she wanted to stick with her original order of a mango smoothie with no boba and mango jelly and popping boba... before we even paid the drink was prepared... one thing I noticed was all the employees were smiling... my daughter left her phone on the counter and we walked over to the bakery next door... as we were walking out Roxy came and brought us the phone.... thank you for a great experience and saving us a headache.“

“Amazing place!
This coffee shop truly stands out. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a warm, inviting atmosphere and the wonderful aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The menu has a great selection of drinks, and every cup is made with real care and attention to detail. The food options are just as impressive — everything tastes homemade and fresh. The staff is super friendly and makes you feel right at home. Whether you’re looking for a quiet place to relax or a cozy spot to meet friends, this is definitely the place to be.“

“Great atmosphere, friendly staff! Eleno has been working to support the local community for five years now. Stop by and see for yourself.“

“Everything it is an awesome place to eat at“

“Lovely experience. The staff were very nice and attentive. The food was really great! I ordered the burger and fries, the ranch on the side is a must! Best ranch ever with the best fries. We came here to celebrate my Husbands birthday and the staff here made it special. 10/10 recommend!“

“Delicious!!! Definitely coming back. Great friendly service!…🥰“

“Family Friendly and quite lovely“

“I have breakfast here whenever I am in town. Amazing food“

“Nice patio cafe with great coffee“

“I ordered the cinnamon oat latte, and I'm usually not a fan of oatmilk but it was balanced so well against the espresso and the cinnamon that it didn't dominate the flavor. It was a very smooth drink, not too sweet, not too bitter, and not too strong.

My wife got the strawberry matcha latte, and while the matcha was of a decent grade and quality, the strawberry isn't a puree, nor is it like a strawberry creme or milk added in, it's an additive in powder form and she doesn't tend to like that.

Their chocolate croissant, which we shared, was heated up as requested, it came with a line of melted chocolate drizzle on top, which I think was similar to Nutella but less thick in terms of consistency. It was also topped with powder sugar, and it had an inserted line of darker chocolate, maybe 65%, so pretty balanced against the sweetness of everything else involved.

The area the cafe is located in is nice, it's a large promenade with several nicer restaurants (it's also sort of attached to it's restaurant counterpart) and there's plenty to walk around and get some shopping done or walk off the drinks and baked sweets. Plenty of parking as well, and the mall itself is only a block or two north from the cafe.“

“음료가 맘에 들어요.“

“had a good time there with a friend and I will return“

“I recently stumbled upon an adorable little coffee shop, thanks to a quick search on Google. As someone who loves exploring new places, I was immediately drawn to its charm. The shop offered an impressive array of pastries. We decided to try their croissants, which turned out to be light, airy, and perfectly crispy.

The coffee menu, while straightforward, was inviting. However, I noticed that there weren't many options catered specifically for kids. After inquiring, the staff kindly provided us with a variety of alternatives, ensuring everyone could find something enjoyable. One thing we learned was that most sweeteners came with an extra charge.

We faced a minor setback when it took longer than anticipated to receive our drinks. With two orders ahead of us, we found ourselves waiting about 20 minutes. Despite the wait, we would definitely return. The coffee was simply perfect, though next time, we'll be sure to allow ourselves some extra time.“

“Todo es saludable y son amables“

“Amazing service & amazing food! Great place to host a meeting or group dinner.“

“My partner and I were talking a stroll down our new neighborhood, and quite literally SMELLED the delicious food before seeing this place. It was almost cartoon-like the way we just followed our feet toward the warm buttery smell of a local diner.
We probably got lucky since it was just two of us and spots were available at the counter right when we got in!
We sat down, and were greeted right away with a smile and a fresh pot of coffee. Menu is extensive for such a cozy spot! Health is also highlighted in their menu..plenty of options to enhance the menu to your needs. My partner got the turkey omelette sub egg whites, and I got the French toast combo w/ a side of potatoes (10/10).
The atmosphere is amazing, and we love businesses that highlight artists as well (you can scan under some of the art displayed to learn more).
Service is friendly and efficient.
When you walk-in, you get a sense that you’ve been there before. And that’s a very comforting feeling for a first timer (:“

“5 Stars

Palm Grove Social is a vibe. Great coffee, chill atmosphere, and the staff is always friendly. I usually grab an iced americano and hang out on the patio—it’s one of the best spots in the area to relax or get some work done. The space feels clean, modern, and welcoming. Definitely one of my favorite neighborhood hangouts in Mid-City.“

“great food for Hawaiian food“
