    FREE PALESTINE I went for the first time and loved the coffee. The sweet barista was kind and gave me a Palestine sticker. I would definitely come back

    Open!

    It was a very hot day and I was so happy to find this beautiful cafe to get an iced coffee from! I love supporting non-chain, privately owned coffee shops. I believe Cafe Palestina opened a few months ago. Inside was beautiful decorated with Palestinian theme (keys, flags, Kufiya etc). I loved how each table featured different photos... and I picked the one showing a man with an olive tree- Mashallah! I ordered one of the signature lattes called "Latte Milh Akka" which features pistachio paste. It was very smooth, creamy and delicious.

    As soon as I read LAs first Palestinian coffee shop somewhere on social media I headed it straight over there to show my support. We tried the Turkish coffee which we've had before, so we knew what we were getting ourselves into, it's very strong, but the cardamom still comes through nicely. I liked that the barista offered for us to taste it first and let us know we may be up for 2 days ha! We also tried the latte with oat milk with no sweeteners. I know really boring, but I like to taste the coffee rather than sweeteners. I wanna go back to try the rice pudding and other desserts they all looked very delicious . I will be returning!

    I've been waiting for this spot to open since I started attending Cerritos college. I'm so happy that they're finally open! I can't wait for the fall semester to start so I can get my daily fix before class. The service was incredible. I got the pistachio matcha for myself and I love when the matcha doesn't overpower the pistachio. It was a perfect balance! And it wasn't overly sweet. The biscoff lattes were pretty good too but I'm definitely going to come back to try the other flavors as well!

    Came for the soft opening and was really happy with our 2 coffees. The Latte Al-Quds had a soft vanilla to it and the Latte Milh Akka had more of a pistachio hint to it. What stood out about both coffees were how fresh they tasted with the milks and ingredients. Everything tasted like "real food". I don't know how else to describe it. Nothing tasted like a syrup or sugary are overly processed. It was extremely refreshing. Reminded me of having food in Europe or other countries. The vibe was warm and welcoming and there was a lot of space and tables to study and meet with large groups. I really look forward to coming back when they have some food options and they are open for their extended hours.

    Came here on a Friday around 1030am, a couple days after they first opened. There was one person in line ahead of me and a third of the tables were full. I expected there to be some growing pains but everything was really well run and the employees were lovely! I ordered the cafe milh akka (pistachio latte) and rice pudding. The latte was INCREDIBLE. True pistachio flavor and they did not skimp on anything (pistachio cream and pistachio cold foam). The rice pudding wasn't too sweet and perfectly flavored. I was hesitant about the seating but it is way comfier than it looks, and I stayed for a couple hours doing some work. The bathroom is also really nice and the toilet even has a bidet! Good wifi and plenty of outlets. They also sell cute stickers, kuffiyehs, and some clothes. I will definitely be back soon, either for a coffee on the go or to hang out with friends.

    I've seriously been waiting for this place to open, and I'm so happy I finally got to check it out! First impression... it just felt good. It was nice and cool inside (thank you for the A/C ), super clean, and there's plenty of room to sit, catch up with friends, study, work, or just enjoy your coffee. The staff was honestly one of my favorite parts. Everyone was so kind, patient, and welcoming. They customized my drink and even helped me pick something based on what I like. You don't get service like that everywhere. I also loved all the photos and décor throughout the café. It was beautiful to see Palestinian culture represented with so much pride. You can really feel the heart behind this place, and I love supporting local businesses that create a space where people can gather and feel at home. This was just their soft opening, and if this is the beginning, I already know they're going to do amazing. Wishing them nothing but success. Norwalk definitely needed a place like this!

    I've been waiting for this place to open. I peeked through the windows when I first saw a Hello Kitty wearing a keffiyeh sticker on the window. Love what they've done w the place. In being there, you are aware of who you are supporting, not overwhelming but def proud of who they are. I saw that they are expanding next door and think it will be a nice place for students to get away from campus in between classes. Tried a Turkish coffee today for the first time, it was strong almost herbal in a way. We got a pistachio latte as well, we loved the taste and packaging. The place was clean, cool from the outside rising temps, and the staff was nice and explained the menu to us. The pricing is very reasonable which my wallet appreciates. All in all, it's a nice addition to the neighborhood ! Welcome !

    Plenty of tables to work
    Dorothy K.

    Great study cafe. The tables were large enough for groups to come in and get some work done, which is especially great for nearby Cerritos College students. Coffee was great and service was awesome. There are stickers, merch, books, etc on display and available to purchase as well. They were playing the World Cup while I was there!

    Victoria Y.

    We were so delighted by the peaceful and welcoming ambiance at Cafe Palestina. The Turkish coffee is my all-time favorite! My son really enjoyed his warm chocolate milk and even said, "¡Me encanta!" They have a variety of options for everyone, and the girl at the register and the barista were both incredibly kind and welcoming. We also loved that they spoke Spanish! We were excited to hear that they'll soon have a study section for students or anyone looking for a quiet and comfortable place to study or relax. Such a wonderful addition to the community. We'll definitely be coming back!

    After reading about Cafe Palestina (LA Taco), decided to drop in. Parking was easy to find since it is located in the Alondra Plaza (diagonal to Cerritos College). Tried their iced Gazawi in regular coffee flavor. It was delicious, frothy, and with a bold coffee flavor. I'd order it again! Also, I was impressed with array of Filipino desserts. I love pandan, ube, and mango sticky rice, but loved that they had the combo of mango sticky rice in a pandan flavor as well as a in ube. Also, tried a scrumptious flaky pastry that I believe had a cheesecake-ish filling. Unfortunately, do not remember the name, but they were exquisite & I'd definitely order more of those in my next visit. Service was excellent and the cafe has plenty of seating with a nice ambiance.

    I'm so glad this place is doing their soft opening. I've already been here twice, and I really love their pistachio latte and their cheesecakes. The staff was very accommodating and very friendly, I love the stickers and Palestinian memorabilia posted on the walls.

I ordered an iced caramel latte, and it absolutely did not disappoint. The espresso was rich and flavorful, while the caramel added just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the drink. I also loved that they use coffee ice cubes, it kept the latte from getting watered down, and honestly, I thought it tasted even better as it sat. The staff was friendly, and our drinks came out pretty quickly, which I appreciated. The only downside was the atmosphere. It's a very small shop with seating for maybe 20 people inside, plus 4 small two-person tables outside (without any shade). When we visited, almost everyone else was working on laptops, so it didn't feel like the best place to sit and chat. The music was also fairly loud and mostly K-pop, which didn't really match the coffee shops aesthetic and made conversation a little more difficult. Parking was probably my biggest complaint. There are only four dedicated parking spots, and the surrounding residential street parking was completely packed. I ended up parking in the chicken restaurant's lot across the street. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the coffee, it was genuinely one of the better iced caramel lattes I've had. If you're looking to grab a quality drink to go, I'd highly recommend it. Just be prepared for limited seating and a challenging parking situation.

I was a little worried it might be too sweet or milky based on the name, but the balance was actually really good. You still get a strong espresso flavor, which I appreciated because I hate when a specialty latte just tastes like flavored milk. It's sweet, nutty, creamy, and still very much COFFEE.
