“My Comadre and I decided to meet up here. She said she loves the hot abuelita drink and I decided to try it myself. It hit the spot at the first sip! Thanks Comadre. She had a ham and cheese croissant sandwich and I had a everything Bagel with cream cheese. Both were freshly made and it was good. To top it off, another friend showed up right before I had to leave for class. Goes to show you, if you want great taste, this is the place.“

“Hummus sandwich gives me life!!!“

“él cafe muy rico y las donas“

“Sloppy as hell and this Wilmington location can never get an order correct and the staff is very sloppy with the orders. I live here in Wilmington and gotta drive to Harbor city McDonald's just to get a good order.I don't recommend this location at all.“

“Very good coffee. Wouldn’t say it’s like most other coffees I’ve tried. The flavor wasn’t as distinct to what I imagine a cinnamon roll would be, but it still was a great sip throughout. Great interior too. And the staff that took and made my order was clearly a bit tired or lower energy at first. I didn’t take any offense as it looked like she was a little overworked, but grace and blessings to her. She deserves a good tip every time for making great drinks all around.“

“Love this place! ❤️ Great tea and delicious pastries! The scones are my favorite! Great atmosphere and definitely one of my to-go-to fave places!“

“Great, truly great pourovers. I had the “Big City” and my wife had an Ethiopian, and both were excellent.

Parking is tough. We went around 8am on a Saturday morning so we got the last parking spot.

I bet locals just walk there but we were coming from the airport.“

“cute local coffee shop, friendly & great recommendations“

“This place is awesome. Really good food, drinks & merch. The only complaint I have is I wish people with their laptops who sit at a 4 top table alone understood how selfish that is when this place is incredibly busy. I always thought cafes should have a time limit for people with laptops or a bar set up on the wall just for people with laptops. You literally are fighting for your life for a table there on the weekends. Will still go though lol“

“Crepe Heaven Café in Lawndale is a brilliant five-star destination that truly lives up to its name. They excel at delivering both authentic French-style crepes and a warm, inviting atmosphere. This is the spot for the freshest, lightest crepes, whether you're craving sweet or savory.
Must-Try Items: For a savory delight, the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Crepe is the perfect start to any morning. For dessert, you absolutely must indulge in their classic Nutella and Banana Crepe, which is pure perfection. Pair any crepe with one of their expertly made Espresso Drinks for the ultimate café experience.“

“Such a sweet and kind establishment“

“My son & I decided to try here for the first time. What a COOL place!!! I love the vibe, the merch, the selections, literally everything about it!!! We will absolutely be back 🥳🥳“

“Distrito Coffee is the kind of place that feels deeply rooted in its neighborhood, gritty, authentic, and unapologetically itself. The cafemirrors the energy of San Pedro with an atmosphere that’s raw yet welcoming. The decor and music are bold, a little abrasive in the best way, but somehow still inclusive, creating a space where everyone feels like they belong if they’re willing to lean into the vibe.

What truly elevates Distrito is the coffee. The espresso is a beautiful counterpoint to the edgy exterior, warm, nuanced, and surprisingly delicate, with layered flavors that show real care and craft. It’s the kind of espresso that makes you slow down and pay attention.

The baristas are effortlessly cool, knowledgeable without being pretentious, and clearly passionate about what they’re doing. The customers match the energy, artists, locals, and regulars who give the place its soul. Distrito Coffee isn’t trying to be trendy or polished. It’s real, confident, and memorable, a neighborhood café that delivers both character and exceptional coffee.“

“Love this local coffee spot! Friendly staff, good coffee selection and always great music vibes. ✨ My favorite is the “It’s Bananas”, iced or hot!!!“

“nice relaxing atmospuhere“

“I couldn’t make my flight connection and was stuck here for a day. I’m glad I did. I ended up here to meet up with some friends and saw “matcha and chai” on the menu. Apparently they’re separate menu items, but I just asked if they could do both. They were awesome enough to try it and here I am writing a review of how blessed I am to get stuck in LA with a matcha & chai latte.“

“Amazing tea, great people, such a safe welcoming atmosphere, and cheap drinks. 5/5 ⭐️“

“I would probably say that this coffee shop is a great meet point for coffee lovers! The service was fabulous, and the variety of coffee served in the ambiance. They have delicious baklava and also iconic signature coffes. I will be back again for sure!“

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

“Micah was my barista who was very knowledgeable about the espresso machine and the coffee beans used in the process of the French Toast Latte.“

“Wonderful coffee shop, delicious drinks and pastries, and a great atmosphere. I usually order the aventurero latte and coffee cake. Yum!“

“I found this place on TikTok and came to try their banana matcha and I’ve been obsessed ever since. It’s an absolute must. Their coffee is good too, but the banana matcha has me in a chokehold. They also have cute little sleeves on your drinks that have a different quote every time!

It’s a cute little spot inside to study and even when there’s a line out the door drinks come out super fast. Definitely worth the hype.“

“Im excited to write this review of all the rest because this place is what a coffee shop should be! Fast, courteous and very fresh. My vanilla latte was HOT just as i like it. The almond Danish was fresh. Smiles at the first encounter was best customer service I have experienced in a long time. Thank you!“

“My roommate decided to try the coffee after hearing about it through a friend in CA (we are in RI). My roommate says it is by far one of the best coffees he has ever tasted. Very aromatic! Smooth and just, well, a must try! It was also ground well, packaging was great, delivery was on time. Website was easy to use. We'll be back for another shipment!“

“Such a cute and cozy place great for Instagram photos. Yummy latte and homemade muffin ☕️“

“Cozy and beautiful work space Great coffee. Wrigley Coffee is the Best community coffee shop ever !“

“i enjoy this spot for both studying and spending time with friends. they have a great amount and variety of both indoor and outdoor seating. the drinks they serve also have a wide selection to choose from, with the mango mochi being one of my favorites. i recently tried the pistachio croissant which was so balanced in not being too sweet while being a perfect treat/dessert after our meal right before. definitely a spot i enjoy returning to frequently“

“Soft completely impressed me from the interior design to the taste of every drink and dessert.

I was honestly surprised (in the best way) when I saw Medivnyk in the display case - it instantly made me wonder who the owner is. And you can truly feel a Ukrainian soul in this place.

It’s incredibly clean, beautifully designed, and you can see in every detail that a lot of love and care has been put into it.

The service is amazing!!!! The staff know everything about the drinks and desserts and genuinely want to make your experience perfect. We followed their recommendations, and it was absolutely worth it.

I chose the banana matcha, and my husband had a drink with Belgian chocolate- both were incredible. The flavors are perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, and you can really tell everything is homemade, crafted with attention to every ingredient.

I’m honestly so impressed - it almost made me emotional to find a place like this in the U.S. We came here just for the weekend, but we’re definitely coming back tomorrow for more drinks and desserts. This is the kind of place you want to visit every single day.

Thank you for creating such a beautiful space, and I truly wish you many happy customers 💛🩵“

“Seeing that had high review I decided to come check it out. Just walking in the place you can already determine that are about to wow your taste buds. We got the Blueberry Matcha and a Vanilla matcha they were amazing. Come try this place and dont forget the cream top !!!“

“Fantastic coffee, a must stop if you are in the area. I had an amazing Cortado, their Americano was also very good. They even had a couple of gluten free snack options which is appreciated. The GF chocolate olive oil cake was excellent. The little outdoor seating area is also a nice touch.“

“Beautiful coffee I lek ….“

“Micah was my barista who was very knowledgeable about the espresso machine and the coffee beans used in the process of the French Toast Latte.“

“Quaint, cozy, comfortable. Honeycake is probably the best I’ve had. Coffee is mediocre but you’re likely coming for syrniki and comforting environment. Great friendly service that makes you want to come back. 3 tables inside and 4 tables outside.“

“A great cafe in the promenade with stuff for everyone. They have a variety of incredible coffees depending on the mood from delicious sweet lates to bold dark espressos and Americanos. There matcha selection is also on point with a selection of tasty options depending on what you like. The almond croissant is a 10/10 and probably the best I have ever had. No matter when you go in the servers are always very friendly, the drinks comes fast, and the environment feels alive as it is filled with adults talking and students studying among the cute modern interior. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quality drink and a quick pastry to eat.“

“Feel the love!! Impeccable coffee made with kind hands - fills the soul! ♥️“

“Amazing assortment of breads! So many great pastries! A nice and relaxing atmosphere with friendly service!“

“The blueberry pinwheel was FABULOUS. Strawberry cheese croissant, prefectly flakey. Amazing bakery, giving fresh-baked, homemade, French-countryside vibes. I don’t often review, but when i find such a good small business I have to. Pricing was good too.“

“great breakfast sandwich“

“My wife and I are retired and we both love going out for breakfast. We have been looking for a special breakfast location in the south bay for some time and tried Mr. G's . IT IS BY FAR OUR FAVORITE LOCATION - it is a fun, family owned cafe with an extensive menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can't beat the food, the price and the friendly staff. We are now Mr. G's regulars .“

“I had a really great time here and finished my video without any problems. It is definitely a place worth visiting for those who want to balance work and leisure.“

“I love this place. It has a down home feeling, great food very friendly staff. Great parking, and the food OMG outstanding. Recently went there for breakfast. I hadnt been there for over 20 years. Some of the original staff was still there. The food was the same as 20 years ago scrumptious!!! Thank You!!!!“

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

“I came here with my boyfriend who is vegetarian, I am not. We both got sandwiches, and I wish I took photos of my food! I got a “chicken” pesto sandwich and it was so amazing. The food was very filling, fresh, and I’m looking forward to coming back. 10/10 - this should be a staple lunch spot for any vegetarian / vegan!“
