The service is great and everyone is friendly and the food is delicious. I ordered a chai latte and the breakfast pesto panini with tomato soup. It was yummy and the staff was great! It has a positive, good vibe and very colorful artwork and mural in the parking lot. It is a nice place to enjoy talking with friends and has a good patio area. read more

Staff is very friendly and courteous. I ordered the Breakfast Sando and hubby ordered Mykie's Scramble. Both portions were pretty large and more than enough for us. Quality was great and the space itself is large and open. They have free parking in a spacious lot behind the restaurant. They also have a patio in the back with additional seating. I loved looking at all the merchandise they have for sale and knowing that is also part of their mission. What a nice find!! read more

If I could give Mychal's 6-stars, I would. I love everything this cafe stands for -- empowering people with disabilities and giving them skills in life. We came here on a whim on a Saturday and it was such a great experience. We brought our rambunctious toddler and he was greeted warmly by the staff. The restaurant itself is really large and clean. It was a very family friendly cafe with lots of seating. After reading the few negative reviews, it's clear the people didn't really understand the mission and purpose of the cafe. Yes, you need to be a little more understanding with some of the staff, but if you treat them with kindness and compassion, they return it many times over. The breakfast burrito was large and very filling. The breakfast sandwich was made really well. And the blueberry pancakes were absolutely delicious. And the service was top-notch. We'll be adding Mychal's to our normal rotation and continue to support this incredible cafe. There's a big parking lot in the back of the cafe so parking is super easy. There's a back patio area that's really nice on a beautiful day. read more

Formerly another healthy food spot, so i was surprised to find out Mychal's is located here. I heard about Mychal's through a friend who frequents this place for breakfast and i love that it's for a good cause. After ordering our breakfast, I checked out the merch in the gift shop adjacent to the restaurant. Such cheerful and pretty canvas bags, tees and hoodies! This place is cute, my food was great and the staff delightful. Parking in the rear. read more

Well lit, clean and spacious dining area - inside with an outside patio. Grab a menu and order at the counter. Food is freshly prepared, generous portions and reasonably priced. Order taken by a conscientious and dedicated employee who also clears tables in his free time. Food served by a pleasant, hardworking and friendly employee who went out of her way to refill my ice tea and bring butter and jam. Wonderful concept, well executed. Please stop by and support - whether it's for a chai, mocha to go or stop by for a bite to eat! Cute gift shop with t shirts, goodies, baseball caps, cups beautifully silk screened by developmental employees. read more

This restaurant has good food and an even better mission of employing students with developmental disabilities to give them an opportunity to learn and develop the skills needed to help them feel empowered and included. We tried the breakfast burrito with avocado and their green smoothie, both of which were satisfying, freshly made and tasty. The tortilla was expertly toasted and inside, the eggs fluffy and well-seasoned. Be sure to try the house made salsa for an extra layer of spice and flavor. Service is efficient, friendly and very attentive. In accordance with their motto, everything is truly "made with love." Please support this wonderful small business. read more

Had breakfast here today. It's a good place for a casual brunch. You order at the counter and they deliver to your table. They have a food variety of breakfast foods and a good assortment of pastries/baked items. We got two muffins and they were delicious. I had the carrot one and tastes just like carrot cake. My daughter had the açaí bowl. The portions are large and my American breakfast came fresh and hot! I didn't love the coffee but would go back for everything else and it supports a great cause. read more

Today, we enjoyed lunch at Mychal's Learning Place in Redondo Beach. Ed, the founder, and Doug, the manager, were kind enough to chat with us and share the heartfelt story of Mychal's, which is named after Ed's daughter who sadly passed away at age 7..The organization's commitment to employing and training people with learning disabilities is truly inspiring. So wonderful to have them in the South Bay and we hope our friends will stop by and show them some love and support too! read more

We need more places like Mychal's Cafe!!! Their mission is to provide a supportive, inclusive environment to train and employ people with developmental disabilities at their business and gain the independent living skills to be successful. As an educator in special education, I've seen many vocational programs striving to do something similar, but the students are oftentimes doing minimal work. Not here. They are doing everything from taking orders, cooking, serving and busing tables, all with smiles and care. I've had the latte, which is only $5, the Breakfast Hash ($15), the Chicken Pesto Panini with side salad ($14), their almond bar and chocolate chip cookies and everything was absolutely delicious, fresh and made with love. The cafe is big and spacious with plenty of seating inside and out back on the patio. It's filled with student art work, modern lighting and really pretty rose installations on the ceiling to buffer the noise. Vibe out to the playlist of a good mix of new hits. They also carry a lot of cool merchandise made in Mychal's Printing & Embroidery shop from apparel, bags, cards, and tumblers. Street parking was pretty easy to find here too. Come by, give them a try and support a business doing amazing things! read more

We've got a wham, bam shang-a-lang And a sha-la-la-la-la-la thing Wham bam shang-a-lang And a sha-la-la-la-la-la thing... Parking is available on Artesia or behind the buidling. Everyone is very helpful. Called and ordered over the phone for pick up since I needed to continue my work day. Burritos are good in size and ingredients. Went with the breakfast burrito and you can choose the ingredient. Added bacon because it's bacon. Add the hot sauce for a little kick. Didn't get anything to drink this time around but maybe on the next stop. There is ample seating inside and patio outside. It seems like a nice place to sit and enjoy your cafe. Really like that they offer employment and empower individuals with disabilities. Supporting a business that supports others is amazing so thank you Mychal's Cafe. Bring a friend and stay a while for you coffee or breakfast. I'll be back next time I'm in the area. God bless read more

I absolutely LOVED this place! My boyfriend and I came in because we were staying nearby and we loved it so much we came back the next day. The food was delicious (and relatively affordable), the staff were all very kind and welcoming as were the other patrons, and parking and seating was very easy. If I lived closer I would definitely become a regular. I'm still dreaming of the chocolate strawberry mocha. It was AMAZING read more

Wow! This is a special place. It is a large beautiful cafe on Artesia. There is a small parking lot in the back and there is some street parking. You order at a counter and then find a seat where you can place your number. The cafe is very casual. It has finished cement floors and lots of art work. Everything that we had was delicious - the sandwiches, the salads, the scrambles and more. My gf egg sandwich was super well prepared and the accompanying salad was fresh and tasty. My LO loved her scramble as did my SIL. The coffees are also outstanding. I love the mission of this restaurant. They are providing employment and job training for youth with development disabilities. The service is fantastic. I will definitely be back. read more

Very nice place for breakfast and lunch. Convenient parking in back with some outdoor tables. I had a turkey club on ciabatta role with a side of their tomato soup. The sandwich was excellent with a fresh roll, plenty of turkey, bacon, and veggies. The soup was delicious and filling so the cup was just the right size.

Been wanting to try this place because their mission is so wonderful but I was really impressed with the service and quality of food. There was a line out the door when we arrived. The staff were super efficient. We placed our order within no more than five minutes. Then the food arrived. The sandwiches were huge with quality ingredients. It came with a small soup which was delicious as well, all for $15!! The cafe and outdoor patio were so cute! It had a wonderful, warm neighborhood feel. I also got a hat from their gift shop which also had good quality, adorable "empowering" gifts. Love this place!! read more

Finally tried out Mychal's cafe and I absolutely love everything about this place. From the breakfast menu to the bakery. Love that many people like to come here and work on their laptops while they have their coffee or breakfast. The establishment is very big and clean.

Everyone is also very friendly, very polite. & I agree, if you are impatient and want your food NOW, this isn't the place for you. read more

I got there about 30 min before closing since I had just found this place online an hour before and rushed over! Everyone was so kind and the food was delicious! They even have a little store you can shop at (I forgot to take pics). The restaurant was clean and so calming. They even have outdoor seating and parking In the back. I thought the breakfast hash was hashbrowns and it was totally my mistake. I asked and they were super kind to me and not impatient! Definitely have to come back. Also got the chocolate chip pancakes! Wish I had taken more pics but here's the food! Sidenote: the chocolate chips are not just on the top but inside to. Haha Next time I come back I'll have to take a pic of the menu since they have so many yummy options read more

Not a fan. The atmosphere and decor was the best thing about this Cafe but unfortunately I felt invisible for the majority of my time there. Not a friendly or warm experience for me. Also, I ordered a breakfast sandwich and the sausage was cold. I most likely wont return. read more

I wanted to like this place and support a good cause, but unfortunately it was disappointing. I ordered the breakfast sando on a bagel, but it fell apart easily and tasted really salty. I also ordered an iced peppermint latte, but received it hot. It took a while to get my order too, so I don't recommended coming here if you're in a rush or want something quick. read more

Doug the manager is an angel. There are folks who always always always smile, are kind, are welcoming, and Doug is it. Food: a great variety from savory soups to plant-based options and GF options and smoothies and coffees/match latte. Breakfast is yummmy. Lunch is yummmy. Baked goods: there is often a GF option-appreciate that it was wrapped separately and there's regular baked goods and seasonal treats too that will make your tummy happy. Gifts: they've got stickers and cards and hats and gear so I come when I need a gift too. Aisles are nice and wide for accessibility and parking lot in back is spacious and accessible off a residential street and easy to get in and out of. You can also park on the larger street called Artesia Blvd. Best is the vibe: this place makes sure that all are given respect and a way to contribute and flourish with an awareness of any disabilities and all dreams. Staff is so friendly and it feels so welcoming as a customer. read more

A gem with a heart! Visited Mychal's Cafe today. First, the mission behind this cafe is inspiring--they provide opportunities for people with disabilities to learn valuable job skills. In my 20s, I worked as a Case Manager, helping people with disabilities find jobs in the community. I would assign job coaches to train them, fostering inclusion and helping them lead fulfilling lives. Walking into Mychal's Cafe brought back those memories and warmed my heart. I had the pleasure of meeting the founder Ed and Doug, who trains the students with disabilities. They have a wonderful set up! Wish them continued success! Now, onto the food and drinks: the COFFEE was excellent--full of flavor. The food was delis as well, though I would have enjoyed it a bit hotter (it arrived warm, but not piping). That small detail aside, everything tasted fresh and satisfying. And the almond bar and coffee cake, perfectly warmed up and paired well with my vanilla latte. The service was outstanding--friendly, patient, welcoming, creating an overall positive atmosphere. The ambiance was clean, cute and cozy, making it the perfect spot to relax or catch up with a friend. We sat in the patio in the back, to soak up a little Vitamin D:) Plenty of parking in the back lot too. I can't recommend this place enough! Businesses like Mychal's Cafe that give back to the community deserve all the support they can get. Stop by for a coffee, a bite to eat and a chance to contribute to an amazing cause:) read more

First, let me say that the meaning of this place is to help youth and young adults with disabilities to help them build independence. It's a beautiful thing for what this place is doing for people with disabilities. I hope to see this place become super popular. It's definitely for a wonderful cause. Prices are lower than most places and they give you a good amount of food. I ordered the breakfast sandwich on a croissant with tater tots. It was very filling. The egg was nice and fluffy and cooked perfectly. I also tried a bite of Jackson's BLTA. It was good. We also got an order of buttermilk pancakes. It was good too. Service was perfect and the food and prices are wonderful. We will definitely be back. read more
