50 Best Cafes near Lynwood

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

“The drinks are omg!!! Delicious. Absolutely yummy! I just wish the drive-through would go a little faster lol. I still make sure to leave the house early so me and my daughter get our drinks and muffins before we can start our day.

I switched from starbucks daily to here lol.“

“the coffee is a good price“

“El café es de verdad muy sabroso estilo Michoacán ahora los molletes! mmmmm ☺️“

“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.“

“Everything was amazing, the tea was heavenly. I just wish I knew what kind of tea they use. I fell in love with the toast, and I was so surprised that I couldn’t get it to go — I wanted to take three more with me 😭 Can someone explain why that is?“

“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“

“Open Market catered a wedding reception I was coordinating in October, and they were wonderful. Their restaurant is one of the bride's favorites, and they were great. The food is delicious, and I'm working on getting my husband over there soon. They couldn't have been more accommodating and flexible during the planning, and they were straight pros at the reception. As a planner, I love caterers that are easy to work with and easy for my couple's to work with, and it was a great experience for everyone.

The food is delicious. I also love their juices.
They do serve coffee which is also solid.“

Grab a riceball for quick on the go breakfast or snack, made fresh every day! A very impressive addition to the neighborhood. So excited to see it. 💛“

“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 people at the Kawada Hotel recommended this wonderful diner. I walked in and fell in love with the place. I'm not a fancy person,but I may as well have been eating at a Michellin Stared restaurant. The gentleman behind the counter was friendly. I love ❤️ a good diner for breakfast. If I were to recommend something, it would be to have something other than plastic silverware. Bring the kids...“

“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 waitlist is insanely long only because their seating service is comically slow — we saw so many empty tables despite a 90 minute wait because they have a 10 minute grace period once you’re notified. With a restaurant this small, I feel like anything beyond 5 minutes is overly generous because otherwise you’ll have 20 parties on the waitlist grumbling on why we can’t be seated. Service otherwise was very nice, although they also seemed overwhelmed inside.

That being said, the chicken and waffles were so perfectly savory and sweet, slightly spicy and sour — that makes it worth going. The whipped honey butter was a perfect pairing as well. We ate on the Dine LA menu so we also got a first course of truffle toast, which was a solid toast with fluffy eggs and flavorful ham atop a soft yet crunchy sourdough. The truffle oil is 100% a cheat code to make anything feel more elevated!“

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

“Coffees are really good, really good espressos. Highly recommend the aztec latte! Coffee is just ridiculously expensive. I pay total $8.40 for their large aztec latte with oat milk. Oat milk is an extra 1.50 and their large looks like a regular size. Their brownie is really dry but soft.“

“I loved the citrus tea.. it was delicious.“

“muy ricos los postres y los desayunos todooooo 😍“

“I love the neighborhood cafe, my sister had mentioned she enjoyed it last time she came with a friend and I came to try it out. I loved the food, their breakfast burrito so yummy and their chilaquiles too. Loved their salsa. Overall great experience and a nice environment to get breakfast and catch up with a friend. Robert and Norma were super nice and would continue checking in on us to make sure we were doing well. Definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I came here to do work at this coffe shop as it was nearby. It was busy and very popular but I was lucky enough to snag a seat. There were a few other people doing work here as well so it can be a bit noisy if you want to hop on calls.

I can appreciate that they have private wifi so it helps with connecting and feeling more secure.

For the coffee, I loved their maple syrup latte. It was very delicious and I don’t know if it is a seasonal one, but it should belong on the rotation.

The shop has a lot of cute merch and vinyls for you to browse through. The owner works behind the counter and is in the trenches with the employees so I love to see that and support businesses who operate this way.“

“This one is a nice place to meet people & enjoy the surroundings of the way it was built in LA

Vegetarian options: Not bad in trying ya Vegetable Plate throw in the side you do your own dish put anything in there add ya Salad to it.“

“They needed better air conditioning and accurate time for pick up food was cold.“

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

“Love it here!! We found it by chance when we were going through the mall for the first time and it has been great every time. The base cheesecake itself tasted like it should (in my opinion): creamy, cheesy, tangy, perfectly sweet. And then the toppings and flavor choices just pulled it all together! Not overpowering at all, and they ALSO tasted exactly the way they should! You can taste every spice that goes into the toppings and flavors. I loved the peach cobbler one, but that banana pudding is a killer too. I'm gonna try cookies and cream or maybe the s'mores one next. I'm excited to see what else they come up with (: the service was excellent, the owner's daughter helped us and she was super kind and helped us pick our first flavors. You can tell a lot of love goes into the craft here <3“

“My favorite breakfast place when we visit DTLA. The atmosphere is excellent and it’s next to my favorite bar.“

“Family Friendly and quite lovely“

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

“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.“

“Some construction work were on going so it’s loud and prolly not the most enjoyable space to sit and chill over your cup of joe. If it’s not because of that, the space was actually cool, featuring some artworks around several corners, nice greenery, and some seats for brief chilling moments.

The menu went beyond just basic ones and even featured seasonal specials. I got intrigued by the Miso Butterscotch Latte , which I would 1000% recommend, being not overly sweet, letting the bold coffee stood out, and perfected with the creamy caramel-ly butterscotch with a salty savory hint from the miso.“

“Per usual 917 did not disappoint. The experience is Always pleasurable. The menu offers a variety of tasteful options which evolves according to season, along with keeping some staple items such an their amazing burger. The service is always exceptional, efficient and friendly. We look forward to our next experience.“

“Definitely try one of their sandwiches, they’re really good! The service was friendly, and I had a great time overall. I loved the music and the atmosphere; it made me feel relaxed and calm during my lunchtime visit. I’ll definitely be going back again 🩷“

“I’m in LOVE with these donuts!!! Not to mention how sweet they are in there!!! So nice, incredible donuts that are BETTER than the “other” big donut place out here.... Sorry Cali, Crafted is the place!!!!“

“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.“

“I was in LB to explore and came across this boba shop. They have some of the cutest decor! I love the Sun Wukong figure, it reminds me of my childhood haha. The drinks are 🤌🤌🤌 so good. I tried their dragonfruit matcha and it was delicious! They were also very nice when I came in. There is seating: two tables w/ 3 chairs each and more high chairs on the wall. There is wifi and outlet if you need to study! Theres also a photo opportunity, you pay and get a print out! There is also a mini claw machine :)“
