    Avocado Toast on Country Bread Sandwich
    Yessica C.

    One of the best avocado Toasts ive ever had generous serving size and also they did not cheap out on the avocado def would recommend!

    Breakfast burrito and hot mocha
    Ethan A.

    Big fan of this spot! The outside is rather unassuming, but the interior is very welcoming and sets a nice mood. Plenty of seating, free water, clean bathrooms, lovely artwork on the walls, and even some jewelry on display (and for sale). Love the aesthetic at this place! The staff are always very kind, welcoming, and helpful. I've ordered their breakfast burrito and breakfast sandwich in the past, both hit the spot and the portions are generous. When paired with a delicious coffee (hot mocha is my go-to), you'll be leaving sufficiently full and either with plenty of energy for the day or in need of a fat nap depending on what you ordered. This place is a must visit and I'm excited to stop by when I'm in the area, go check them out and you'll be glad you did!!

    Searched this place after the Diplo 5k. We loved the food and the service here. Pretty affordable for LA prices. The ambiance was a calm setting. We arrived here around 1pm. The food was very filling and delicious. It had a lot of flavor for just a few ingredients in the breakfast burrito. Definitely worth it! Vegetarian Breakfast Burrito: 4.5/5 Iced Horchata Latte: 3.5/5 (missed some flavor, lack of sweetness)

    Lox bagel + salad with lemon meringue vinaigrette

    Every coffee shop works hard to be unique and have some sort of standout quality, sadly many times it does not work out as intended. I can say that La Terraza cracked the code! The team really put their all into making the coffee shop feel like a unique space dedicated to their people and home while also giving a quality, minimalist presentation throughout the shop. Great space that provides a calming but colorful atmosphere. Now for the main thing: the food and coffee. The coffee was delicious, fresh, and had more options than I've seen at most coffee shops, many of which were Mexican specialty coffee drinks like the cafe de Olla (which was truly perfection in a cup). We ordered a lox bagel, side salad, and a breakfast parfait bowl, all of which were as fresh as could possibly be and prepped to perfection. Truly no notes, except that I need another Cafe de Olla.

    Nutella Latte

    The Cubano sandwich is sooooooo good! It does take them a while to make, but absolutely worth it. Their Nutella Latte is AMAZING!

    Brioche sandwich

    Delicious lil spot, looks closed cause of the dark glass but it's open! Found parking right across the street but heads up Thursdays there's a farmer's market so can't park directly in front of La Terraza. I had the brioche sandwich fried egg, bacon and cheese, very deli!! And I loved the unexpected side of fresh salad, greens and cherry tomatoes. And I got a side of freshly grated hash browns, alil to much pepper for my taste and still palatable. And to drink I had a cafe de olla latte with almond milk, it hit the spot with a cheese and berry Danish. My friend had the same sandwich and wished they had a turkey sausage or bacon cause she doesn't eat pork, other than that, I recommend this spot! Ooohhh and the chipotle aioli was spicy thank goodness I got it on the side, no spicy for me :) for all you spicy lovers out there.

    Wild Waffle with Nutella and Strawberries

    Had brunch at La Terraza cafe and really loved the food. The ambience was really cozy and the decor had beautiful imagery of native Mexican people. All of the staff at the counter were very helpful and made the service really smooth. I had the buttermilk waffles with berries and maple syrup. It tasted very fresh and delicious and it was just enough to feel full. I also got a side of scrambled eggs and they were nicely cooked and fluffy. They were even nice enough to give me a side of complimentary salsa for the eggs on the side upon my request. My man got the bagel and lox but substituted the bagel for brioche and it tasted very fresh and savory and was flavor bomb to his taste buds. We will definitely be coming back!

    Tried out Barrio for Valentines Day and it was a bit underwhelming. Throughout the night we had like three different servers it felt they just forgot about us lol. Luckily the lady who checked us in came through and carried the ebtire service team on her back. She offered us free dessert to compensate for the wait on our food orders. Once we finally got our food, it was actually very good. You could kind of tell that the team was not very experienced with busy service, so I think my experience would've been better with a more experienced team

    Ordering counter

    We were able to walk in and order right away, the inside was really clean and spacious with lots of tables. Outdoor seating not available. Photographs and paintings cover the walls inside. There are some items for sale-mugs, coffee, woven mats. The food came out pretty quickly, I had a brioche bacon egg sandwich with chipotle aioli. The texture and flavor along with the sweetness from the brioche buns made for an amazing combo. I also had a cold brew, very good coffee. Great experience!

    It's yummy

    Yummy and good price and close to me until I found it yesterday !thank Yelp which help me have a good design.

    The place is so cute, in the middle of nowhere. The eggs were perfect. The portion was enough. The workers are so friendly and helpful.

    Welcome to La Terraza Café.

    La Terraza Cafe is a cute little local coffee house specializing in a variety of coffee, cold drinks, pastries, sandwiches, etc. This coffee shop is located in East LA near a public library. I like their interior decor particularly the art paintings hanging throughout the cafe. Similarly, the cafe's layout was spacious. Atmosphere was relaxing with good background music. I arrived early Friday morning to grab breakfast. I was perfunctorily greeted by a female server at the counter. She was patient enough to wait while I perused their menu as a first time customer. I ordered a buttermilk waffle with assorted berries and a café au lait. Breakfast was modest in taste and flavor; serving was of average size. Coffee was perfectly brewed. Service was impeccable. Prices were economically expensive. Street parking only. Overall, I had a good dine-in experience and had a good breakfast.

    It had been a while since my last visit to Barrio, but I was so pleased to find that the consistency of the food remains excellent. This gem of a spot, which I believe is Latino family-owned, continues to serve the Grand Terrace community with pride, passion, and seriously impressive cuisine. We started with the Crispy Prosciutto with Fresh Mozzarella & Arugula along with two specialty cocktails. The salad was incredibly fresh--perfectly balanced and definitely a must-try if you're new to the restaurant. For my main, I went with the special: Guanciale-Texas Raised Wild Boar, finished with a Barbera wine reduction infused with rosemary. It was absolutely delicious--bold, rich, and thoughtfully prepared. A truly standout dish you can't go wrong with. The ambiance of the restaurant is just as memorable. It's beautiful inside, and don't skip a stop in the restroom--the wallpaper and overall aesthetic are a fun surprise and really showcase the attention to detail throughout the space. Overall, Barrio is a fantastic dining experience--great food, beautiful atmosphere, and a business that truly seems to care about the community it serves. Can't wait to back.

    Ask the Community - La Terraza Cafe

    Is this Latino owned?

    I believe it is.

    Yes, and VERY delicious

    Barrio is open!

    What happened to the sign? It doesn't even look like there is anything in that space and we have been wondering when the restaurant was going to open.

    Helio! We're fixing the wall. Is 50 years old and couldn't accommodate our sign. Grand opening is this weekend! Thank you!

The owners are always welcoming, friendly, and genuinely make every customer feel at home. Their customer service is exceptional and one of the main reasons my family and I keep coming back. The food is amazing! Their chicharrón burrito is the best I've had, and the chilaquiles are always fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Their coffee is just as impressive--they roast their own beans, make their own café de olla syrup, and you can even buy their coffee beans to enjoy at home. Every cup tastes fresh, rich, and authentic. I also love the atmosphere. The artwork throughout the shop is beautiful and gives the space so much personality. It's the kind of place where you want to sit, relax, and enjoy your coffee. Another thing I appreciate is that their prices are more affordable than many other coffee shops, especially considering the quality of the food, coffee, and service. My kids absolutely love coming here, and it's become one of our favorite family spots. If you're in Boyle Heights and looking for incredible coffee, delicious food, beautiful local art, fair prices, and some of the kindest people you'll ever meet, Picaresca is a must-visit.

So much care and intention woven into this place. On weekends you can feel the energy of people moving through from opening to closing. Today I needed a little more sweetness in my life, so I ordered the iced Mazapán oat milk latte with peanut butter foam -- magic -- alongside the Tamales de Mole, a weekend-only special. The sweet balanced the savory perfectly. Pansa llena, corazón contento. The flavor profile caters to a range of palates. My partner went for the Oaxacan Mocha oat milk latte -- also highly recommend the Cacao de Mi Corazón smoothie and the Spanish Latte. Know that every drink is made to order, crafted with intention. This isn't fast food. Give yourself the time to enjoy it. Open 7am-5pm daily, they're not stretching themselves thin for the masses, they're building a solid foundation. And it shows. The consistency keeps me coming back. For days when you can't escape the grind, DoorDash pre-order is a must. For days when you want an actual escape... tucked on a busy corner amid freeways, trains, and the hum of East LA, this place carves out a sanctuary. Lush greenery, a pace that slows you down, street parking in the neighborhood, and the satisfaction of supporting a local small business that opens its doors to the community. Oh, and they keep dog treats at the counter. I snagged one for my fur baby-- a small reminder of how beautifully they treat dogs in Oaxaca. Yia Caffé -- a treat, every single time.

Parking is scarce, but that's not being taken in consideration as part of the rating, just wanted to make it aware for others. I ordered a Oaxacan Mocha latte with coconut milk. I give a 3/5.

Same thing, tasted water based, ordered it with almond milk. I'm not much of a sweet person, so if you like sweet drinks then this is it for you and your rating will be probably higher than mines. The place is very aesthetic, kind of gives off the vibe like you're in a tree house haha. Overall, it's an aesthetic coffee shop with decent coffee. Would definitely go come to try the rest of the coffees.

So circled back with my son-in-law's brother, and had a good experience. CafeNina is located at the upper entrance of the 4th street Pedestrian stairs between Lorena and Concorde. These stairs were created in 1928, as a way to allow pedestrian connection between the elevated East 4th street and the neighborhood below. I've taken this many times, but as I tend to do when trying to reach a destination, ignored the journey until now. It opened in 2023 in Boyle Heights, expressing the owner's passion for coffee, specifically with Mexican flavors. I never went to a place like this before, so looked up how it is defined: the best term I could find was 'cozy family focused house-front coffee cart'. We came around lunch time so there were no longer any pastries. But the very friendly owner advised that most drinks were available. One page of the menu was devoted to various Matchas, so JM and I got the same thing: a large iced strawberry Matcha Latte ($8 each). One has the choice of dairy/non-dairy, so chose almond milk. There's a lovely backyard area with a few cafe tables, reminding me of someone's well appointed backyard. It's dog friendly, and we spent a couple of hours talking while enjoying our drinks. It got busier towards the end of our stay, and Simba was getting restless, so we made our leave. A definite place to consider if near the Boyle Heights area, and wanting to enjoy some coffee based drinks.

Fragrant jasmine took center stage, offering a beautiful floral aroma and delicate tea notes that paired nicely with the earthy matcha. The milk, however, overshadowed the matcha and made the drink taste a bit milkier than I had anticipated. While the banana was a unique addition, its flavor remained very subtle and was difficult to distinguish, leaving the jasmine as the dominant flavor profile. Despite not quite meeting all of my expectations, Leaflet Coffee left a great impression with its inviting ambiance and creative drink offerings. With such a unique menu, I'm excited to come back and discover more of what they have to offer.
