50 Best Cafes near Compton

“nice relaxing atmospuhere“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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🫶🏽“

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

“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!!“

“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.“

“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 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 here are so kind and attentive. We ordered an iced matcha latte with honey — it tasted clean and bright (and not too sweet) — and a smoked salmon onigiri that hit the spot, for a late lunch. We will make sure to come earlier next time since most of the onigiri had already sold out by the afternoon. Extra special shout out to kyucafe for being family-friendly. Can’t wait to come back to try out one of the many ramen options to make in the café when the weather gets cooler.“

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

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

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

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

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

“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.“

“Yes yes, another Country/Chicken Fried Steak breakfast 😋 this time at the mom & pop shop Sunny Side Cafe in Seal Beach. They took over a defunct Denny's and are making it their own.

They served some of the darkest orange egg yolks I've yet to see at a diner/cafe. Super dark orange eggs yolks usually signify the hen had a diet rich in carotenoids, which are pigments found in plants like marigolds, alfalfa, and other foraged foods. They were deliciously sticky. And instead of a toast option, they bring you a homemade biscuit, halved, then griddled on the cut side (nice touch) and served with heavily cinnamoned whipped butter.

The stand out for me were the hash browns, nicely crispy yet tender within and I'm fairly certain they were flat topped using clarified butter. They were incredibly delicious just on their own.

Friendly service rounded out a very nice meal. It's barley 10 min from home so I'll definitely be back.“

“I liked the staff. Very clear communication and recommendations, easy service.

Had a pour over that was expertly made and served at the right temperature. Didn't need to add anything. Black is best.

I went in the afternoon and there was a steady flow of customers, but at the same time it was chill in the back where I had a lunch meeting.

Thumbs up!!“

Best spot for your favorite brew in LBC.
A hidden gem with a live DJ on Saturday Morning. Oh and the coffee's delicious too
You gotta check this spot out“

“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.“

“First off make sure to park in the public lot to avoid going around in circles.

I found this spot when I was looking for a place to take my sister to eat. When we saw the menu we were excited and it didn’t disappoint.

We decided to do breakfast today and go back for lunch next time.

The place was clean and the customer service was excellent.

Our food was freshly prepared and so delicious.
My waffle was crispy outside and fluffy inside with a buttery flavor. My potatoes were seasoned well with actual seasoning not just salt and oil. The eggs were cooked well too.

I seriously had a great breakfast.

Her avocado toast looked great and she said all the ingredients tasted fresh and ripe without being mushy and the bread had a great texture and wasn’t affected by the moisture of the vegetables.

We 100% are coming back. You should also try it out, totally recommended.“

“Family Friendly and quite lovely“

“I was craving cheesecake so I made my husband get me some from here because the reviews. I wouldn't say it's the best I've had but it's good. Got the strawberry crunch and the banana. The banana was a lil too sweet for me and the cinnamon on it was too much for me. Overall it's good but not the best like ppl say here.“

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

“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.“

“Todo es saludable y son amables“

“Great spot with delicious food and coffee. It's part market and cafe, with plenty of seating, large tables. The acai bowl is a solid choice, the pizza slices are generously large, and the side of tater tots was so big two people couldn't eat it all. Plus they do great things for the community. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“I love me a dinner (lunch) & a show! Thank you for accommodating us with the window seat as requested! So glad a spot opened up, I've been wanting to take my bf here. We had their wagyu 917 burger with their duck fat fries upgrade, salmon with risotto, and roasted carrots. Although their roasted carrots were a bit too oily, it was still really good. A medium done on the wagyu burger - so juicy and tasty! Not dry at all. Their salmon was okay (could've used a little more seasoning or some lemo zest) but the risotto under was great, needed more of it! Their Porsche-shaped butter along with the warm pretzel sticks was okay, it was a cute presentation though (just not a pretzel bread girly). Their staff was very accommodating and always checked up on you. And you can't go wrong with watching the cars just drive around the tracks and drifting while you eat. Definitely recommend!“

“Everything it is an awesome place to eat at“

“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“

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

“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!“

“this little place is a big smack a of bohemian chill factor that emanates from your host, Peter . next , the space, sadly, not enougĥ to contain the magic overflowing out its doors, is a piece of a backstage area with the jibe of all are welcome, from scifi nerds to yuppies on bikes and boomers out for a hike, from runners to walkers, even old folks with a walker, Eco Coffee has the cold drinks to chill ya and hot drinks to warm your core. Good food, fresh made. awsome egg sandwich“

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

“Really great food. The best place to have breakfast, lunch and all around good eats.“

“My family and i stopped for lunch. The chorizo omlett is delish. Great service. My toddler loved the waffles.“

“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.“

“Great menu and people-watching.“

“When looking for a proper boba and smoothie place, its a hit or miss on most as they have too many options to qualify as quality product and or they basic and like any other place. 😁BERRY AND BOBA is a unicorn of a shop.

The Tropical smoothie with almond milk,was fantastic and refreshing. The Big 4 juice was delightful as well. The Sfiha was a new experience and had me chomping on something yum.

Brazilian freshness and wonderful customer service. Definitely a hidden gem“

“Super fun place! It’s fun for everyone. Delicious donuts!“

“Satisfacción 🤤💪🏼 got my dessert fix and cool off happy.“

“Love this coffeeshop in the Jefferson Park area! Coffee is always spot on and the pastries (when available) are delicious as well. Working there on a laptop can be hard due to the blaring sunlight and overburdened wi-fi (during peak hours) but it's a great coffeeshop overall.“

“I had the matcha cream brûlée with a snoopy design on top. Super cute! Matcha was alright, tasted fine. Wasn’t a big fan of the honey (I think?) on the bottom though. Kinda overpowering, wish it was maybe mixed into the drink or something.. will come back to try other drinks tho.“

“great food and amazing coffee! it's always nice to stop in for a bite to eat.“

“The best boba! 🤤 Convenient! the best place to find snacks, this is the PLACE; when I’m craving for a good street Mexican food; banana split- some fresh cooked corn with butter 😍(esquites) fresh strawberries with cream. And fresh healthy juice.“
