Delicious food and Drinks! Darren and Heidi are so kind and generous. Peacefest has grown so much and it's been so fun attending and as a vendor!

This place is a Clarkston/Waterford classic and the food is not only on the healthier side but it's delicious too. Very cool vibe inside and friendly servers as well. I recommend the High Plains Drifter and a cold coffee with a shot of espresso! Btw they have great specials as well as baked goods

Allison is the world's greatest human being and an international icon. Never in the history of the world has there been a better more devoted waitress. Truly in awe of her talent and skill.

I had probably the best sandwich 🥪 in a long time. Very reasonably priced and super fast and friendly service. They have been there for years. I just love ❤️ being able to visit and the food is always consistent 🙌. They have a great hippie vibe.

L.A. Cafe gave us such a wonderful brunch experience! We came as a large party (without a reservation), and the staff went above and beyond to make space and ensure we were comfortable. The energy was lively and busy, but never chaotic — very welcoming.

I ordered the hash brown bowl with corned beef, green peppers, and broccoli, plus gluten-free toast and lemonade. The portions were generous, everything was cooked well, and the service was top-notch. Our server took time to double-check food allergies and made sure the kids got what they wanted. It was clear they’re thoughtful about dietary needs, which we deeply appreciate.

The interior is full of nostalgic memorabilia that even had me pointing out things from my childhood. It gave the whole place a personal, cozy charm.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for an allergy-aware, family-friendly breakfast spot!

L.A. Cafe is one of those places where you can count on fresh, well-made food every time. It’s got a relaxed, casual vibe—nothing over-the-top, just a comfortable spot to grab a good meal.
The menu has a nice mix of sandwiches, wraps, and breakfast options, and everything is made fresh, so it might take a little longer than your usual grab-and-go place. But trust me, it’s worth the wait.

It is a cozy and eclectic space with friendly staff, delightful desserts, and a yummy vegan menu.

Cute, comfy, and eclectic spot! The staff here are such a delight, which is definitely the highlight (aside from a vegan friendly establishment in Waterford/Clarkston). I’ve been here twice so far, and we ordered the LA Garden and Picasso, which are breakfast scrambles (tofu sub $1.50 and vegan cheese sub $1). The lattes are also nice.

It's a very small place that is eclectic with lots of Hippie themed paraphernalia. My food was excellent.

Most AMAZING pumpkin spice latte around - a smooth restoration of life and happiness, not a slap of sugar. Excellent food, large portions for the price, congenial and attentive staff, very cool nostalgic vibe/decor, vegan options. A happy place - highly recommended.

My girlfriend randomly pulled into this place on a whim when we were out. It's super adorable and cute inside and out, but the real gem is the food. It's all freshly made and with high-end ingredients that are prepared perfectly. I had a grilled cheese with bacon ham and apple. It was, without a doubt, the best grilled cheese ive ever had.

Amazing little gem with a motif right out of the 70’s. Fantastic food and service with a fun and welcoming atmosphere. The pumpkin pancakes are the best around, along with all the other unique selections. Highly recommend a visit to this establishment. You won’t be sorry!
