Love this mom and pop sandwich shop!!! They sell tortas, Mexican pastries, frappes, smoothies, green juices, raspados, ice cream, street snacks (like tostilocos), grilled sandwiches, specialty coffee, aguas frescas and their staple Oaxacan frappes (not sure why they're called this if they don't use Oaxacan chocolate but I digress). I can only comment on the tortas and green juices and I absolutely love them both. I like their tortas so much that I ordered them for a big work event and the business came through!!! I only gave 24 hours notice and she took a small $20 deposit and delivered all the tortas to my office down the street without an extra charge. My favorite tortas are the turkey breast and milanesa (breaded steak) both great. As for the juices I love the vampiro or vampire (beet) fresh pressed juice. It's also enormous probably comparable to the size of the big gulp at 7/11. I know I'll be a loyal customer as I work down the street and have always received great customer service and delicious food!!!

A hidden gem!!!!! Food is fresh and has a home made taste. Jugos are fresh and delicious. Customer service is amazing

AMAZING FOOD OH MY GOSH AMAING!! Vanessa was beyond helpful and offered great service. I would 100% recommend. I got the torta hawaiana with avocado and an caramel frappe. I recommend this place if you're looking for a feel at home type restaurant.

It's a small place with LOTS of choices!

Walked 10 blocks to get here from my AirBnb in 'da Hood...so worth it! Small, intimate, and DELICIOUS. Welcoming and friendly, the women at counter made me feel as if I lived in the neighborhood. (Her English owned my stumbling Spanish.) The menu has plenty of vegetarian options and lots of fresh juice choices. I got: Quesillo torta (round sandwich) w/ avocado and an iced coffee. $10. It was plenty and perfect. Cafe Oaxaca is a tiny oasis of good flavors and feelings. A must-do in the neighborhood.

I have continued to come here for the past few months, almost on a daily basis. What started as a morning juice stop has become my lunch and evening snack spot. Sometimes my boyfriend and I sidetrack and come by during the weekend. Co-workers have started visiting this little spot of antojito heaven also. I've tried their tostilocos, raspado de coco and raspado de nuez, all very yummy. Today I tried a treat I haven't had in over 10 years, since moving back to the states from Tijuana, B.C and that is the duroloco. A Foot- sized square churro, topped with cueritos, repollo and a concoction blend of sour cream, lemon juice and salsa valentina, drizzled over the churro. Delicious!!!! This is my version of the duroloco, the stores version includes tomato and avocado. (I will have to try that next time.) So happy this family owned spot opened up here. Please stop by and support local business.

Found this hidden gem while working a few weeks in Watts. Quiet small shop with a few tables for dining in. The service from Vanessa was great. She helped me decide what to order, since it was my first time there. I had the torta de jamon and a strawberry, banana,and pineapple smoothie. Both were perfect. Fresh, and tasty ingredients. And I'll be back since they have tamarindo agua fresca. And would like to try the Milanesa torta. Just a few parking spots out front. Check it out. read more

Went for a walk this morning at our nearby park, and I saw that this place had good reviews, so I decided to check it out for myself! I ordered an iced coffee with vanilla flavor and a grilled turkey sandwich (wasn't really grilled) with all the veggies. The coffee was perfect is was so tasty and it had nice cinnamon flavor to it. The sandwich was so delicious that I wish I had ordered two just for myself! I was very impressed! There were a few things that I did not like.... for one the location is not great! It's across the street from a park in the hood and there are definitely some questionable people (on drugs) walking around. The other thing that kind of threw me off was that my sandwich wasn't actually grilled, all they did was toast the bread! But then again it was so delicious that I was able to look past that detail. lastly the location itself very small, all the table are for 2 people only. So don't go in big groups. Bottom line the food was delicious and I will be coming back. read more

The agua fresca taste it so bad I'm guessing the fruit was outside because I could felt the warm tasting on my mouth even tho she did put ice on it but also not sugar... we also asked for ice cream cones because that's how they are in their menu , and we got cups . read more

Definitely refreshing to see a place like this in the hood. Got a large juice pineapple-apple mix in a styrofoam cup for 5.45, not bad for the hood. The decor is nice inside and visually appealing. Would go back for sure if I'm in the area to get some fresh juice. Service was a tad bit slow, which is the reason for the 4 stars but overall I see them improving. Oh and the hot Cheetos don't mix well with all the other healthy options but I guess the gotta appeal to the neighborhood. read more

The first time I came here was for a bionico. The place is small but it is very clean and organized. The person who took my order was very nice and helpful. I was also with my little sister who wanted a smoothie and ice cream, so I bought that as well. I loved the bionico and the smoothie, however the the chocolate ice cream in our banana split was a bit dry. Overall I enjoyed the experience and their food. With that being said I think I've found my fav quick juice spot. read more

I tried the Oaxaca mocha crap and their Jamaica agua fresca, and both did not disappoint. The mocha frap was not overwhelmingly sweet, it had just the right amount of sweetness, and chocolate bitterness that you would expect a good drink to have. The mocha sauce on the side was a good bonus. The agua fresca wAs complimentary because I checked in on Yelp and despite being complimentary, it was really good. It was not watered down and not too sweet. The customer service was great. The inside was really tight, but not a big deal. The mangoneada another customer had looked delicious but I guess I'll save that for next time. Definitely coming back. read more

Whenever there's a green drink anywhere it's my respite to enjoy something good for my body. Give my system rest with all the steaks that I'm ingesting that's clogging up my arteries. I'm enjoying my jugo Verde with spinach celery green apples and maybe a hint of fennel. It does a body good and so I think it does. They have sandwiches snacks and smoothies. I'm sure their coffee is good with quite a selection. The place is small with ample parking. It is not the best location being in South Central but the police station is a block away. Yes I used my little Spanish to converse and we understood just fine. They had a staff of two young ladies. One helped me and the other one was constantly cleaning do the place was spic and span. read more

While driving home, we noticed this coffee shop and I'm so happy we decided to stop by!…read more Coffee 8/10 We ordered an iced cafe de olla and a quad Ibarra mex mocha. Both were soo flavorful. I will say, the cafe de olla is very spice forward. I taste a lot of cloves and star anise. A bit different than others I've had but I really liked it. The mex mocha was smooth and rich. I did see that their slushies are highly rated and now that it's getting hot, we'll def be back to try them! Food 10/10 They don't have food items on their menu but there are baked goods! We ordered a cream croissant looking muffin and a chocolate chip cookie. Both were warmed up and were absolutely delicious. Vibes/Ambiance : 10/10 We came on a Friday morning and it wasn't too busy. There were people working there as they have free wifi and outlets. The decor and vibe is cute! They have art on the walls, pictures, plants, community flyers/events, and statements that make you feel safe and at home. The staff is so friendly and welcoming too!

It was busy when I went in so wait time was about 10-15 mins after ordering. I also bought one of their syrups - not really sure how much I paid for it but maybe about $15? That was a little pricey but the taste was good too. A little heavy on the spices, but I prefer it.

I got an Azteca for $7, which is not worth the price; it is a small size. I also got a carrot muffin cake and asked for it warm, but the croissant I asked for it to be not warm as I will be enjoying it later and it was still toasted and warm. Unfortunately, They misspelled my name as Colbin when it should be KoOlBeAnZ. The seats need wiping. Overall, I will not be back. I was recommended this establishment through a coworker. The Azteca is 4/5 but not worth $7 more like $5.50.. I even tipped her to let her know I was yelping and still I was unsatisfied with the customer service.

For May, TLC Coffee Co. was featured. This vendor had a cute setup and it was a sweet duo of mom and daughter. Ya'll already know lavender drinks are my thing of the moment so I had the iced honey lavender latte. I could not taste any honey but the lavender syrup, which is homemade, was good. The coffee beans, however, just didn't come through on this drink though, hence the three . So, for me it was just another latte lacking that sparkle I look for in my coffee. Glad I got the chance to try this vendor but I wouldn't seek them out at further events.

The drink was the perfect temperature- it was hot enough so I could blow into it and not so hot that it would burn my tongue. I also ordered a raspberry, white chocolate and cashew cookie to share with my fam once I got home. Yes, we were able to share and enjoy 1 cookie. It was delicious. We've never had anything like it. Their theme is Friends and being a fan of the show, I think there is potential to get more creative with their decor. I do like that they have books and boardgames for their guests. They also keep the music level down making the coffee house a very cozy place. I want congratulate Cake and Coffee House for creating a such special menu. I'm looking forward to $5 crepes on Fridays and more yummy drinks from you guys in the near future.

Nice place with a great view to the park. The menu is good and it has something for everyone. This place is right on the corner of Century and Central, right in front of the park. The food is good, mainly consisting of desserts, sandwiches, and natural drinks. My personal favorites are the queso Oaxaca tortas, smoothies, and fruit salads. Even though a lot of people go, there is always seating available. I always stop on my way to - and - from my ofice. read more
