    French Toast
    Claudia E.

    Parking is a nightmare if the neighboring venue is hosting a party. However, the food and service outweighs the negative. The service, and quality and the presentation of the food is excellent. The servers are on top of it, checking up on us, and asking for refills. I enjoy coming here for their French toast, sandwiches, and pasta.

    Decided to order three of their crepes tonight and let me tell you every one of them was very delicious, Definitely give them a try!

    Pesto Panini with chicken

    Every time I visit Nina's, the experience is always amazing! Our server Cloud is incredibly kind and welcoming, and the coffees he makes are always so good whenever we come. The food is delicious, flavorful, and consistently satisfying. I always look forward to coming back!

    This place is pretty good. Not great and not bad. I thought it was a French restaurant but it's a fusion of Mexican, American breakfast, French and a bar. I had the bechamel (butter cheese) & French crepes (goat cheese with almond). They were good but a little expensive. Service was ok. Food is overall good but overpriced.

    Fish tacos
    Richie L.

    Big portions, very friendly staff and a wide menu. Inside feels like a fancy dive bar when the door is closed. I added chicken to the pesto panini. The chicken was very good quality but it would have been better if it were sliced in smaller pieces. Also the "fish tacos" are not traditional fish tacos. They are actually salmon tacos.

    Piña colada

    The ambience here is wonderful. The food tastes delicious and drinks are perfection :)

    We've been here a couple of times during Covid. Went again to celebrate a birthday. Food is always great. Service is great! Definitely a must have especially for brunch

    Came back a 2nd time and brought my girlfriends this time. A party of 7 and all were happy with the delicious breakfast and the presentation! I ordered the Italian omelet again and it was even more scrumptious than I remembered!

    Smoked Salmon Salad
    Neiva O.

    Went in for lunch, it wasn't busy, the food came out fast , sodas are in cans . The salad was good , the most impressive part of the menu is breakfast .

    De La Mer Risotto

    Different name but the quality of the food and coffee remain the same. Nina's or now Cafecito de la Crepe is an absolute experience in the city of Bell. I don't know of many places in SELA that can serve a meal as delectable as their De La Mer Risotto but please do yourself a kindness and try it. Coffee is always strong here as well and made to brew. Service is always good and the restaurant has a beautiful outdoor and indoor ambiance.

They still welcomed us, not like other places that are visibly upset. I had to use the restroom and it was super clean, kinda TMI but I loved that they even had tampons, pads and baby wipes in there. I thought that was super sweet and thoughtful and most places don't offer. They even worked it out so we could still have breakfast even though it was super late. We had the spinach and egg sandwich and strawberry banana with peanut butter. The bread is a perfect combination of crunchy/toasted but also soft and flavorful. Everything is super fresh, from the greens, no wilting and the fruit. You can tell everything is of the highest quality. The cheese was melty and stringy! They also made a lavender latte with just a splash of coffee since it was for my daughter. The homemade syrup was so delicious! Next time I'll make sure to come earlier so we could enjoy the cute patio area and I can try the coffee, which I'm sure is amazing!!

I quickly realized I had seen this on my social media feed and had put it on my "want to try " list. The parking .... They only have street parking from what I noticed and it's a main street ...Cesar Chavez so I had to park about a block away. I looked on yelp and their individual cakes looked delish and I really wanted a coffee. I chose to get the coffee cake, the tiramisu, each $7 and a slice of cheesecake $5 and their new coco puffs cold brew cafe de olla with vanilla cold foam 20oz. = $7. Unfortunately, the coffee cake and tiramisu were too dry and didn't have much flavor.... The whipped cream was soft and fluffy, but also not much flavor.... Both of them had whipped cream.... Unfortunately, I was really excited. I wanted to have a nice coffee cake, but this is not it. At least not the slices I got. The cheese cheesecake was good and tasty, but not out of this world. So I wouldn't go back to this bakery just for these cakes. The iced coffee, though that was delicious.!!! really tasty not too sweet and my only complaint is that my cup was too small. I should've ordered the bigger size~ they have 3 sizes and I got the 20oz (med). I felt like there was more ice and coco puffs than coffee and I wanted more coffee. lol I really like the amount of cocoa puffs and ice was the normal amount so I'm not complaining about that lol but I just wanted more coffee! The service was nice Sorry I forgot to take pics I would say to try this place out for yourselves.... I noticed that before I got there, two ladies had walked about a block to get there. We're chitchatting having fun and placed the order and they sat outside on the little umbrella, cupboard patio chair chairs and we're having their cafecito and chisme time and seemed to really enjoy it. Like I said it's a a cute place. And they do have a lot of choices like keto ones so who knows you might find something that you enjoy there.

If you're in the area as a local and curious, or an adventurous foodie on a mission for unique places, this is the place for you! I thank the staff for excellent service and am grateful to have such a gem in East LA.

Service: servers are very friendly and welcoming! They are attentive and I think most of them are family? Vibes: very chill place, good to come for a casual meal. Seating is pretty close to other parties. Food: I have been here over four times, yet every time I come I just get the French breakfast. Last time I went, the server told me I should try something different, but the French breakfast is just that good!! It comes with either one croissant or four quarters of a baguette, fruit/yogurt/granola bowl, a hot drink of choice, and fresh orange juice. The two drink combo is what gets me with this one. I usually get the hot cocoa, and it is really rich and delicious. The OJ is super fresh and not too sweet or too sour, the bread is delicious and baked well, and the fruit with yogurt has a good balance between the acidity of the fruit and the tart yogurt. Maybe I'll try something else next time I go, but man is that French Breakfast good. It's not that the food is incredible (don't get me wrong it is still so yummy), it's just such a good combination deal that I love it. I would come here once a month if I could...

He kept 1/2 sandwich to go and got the vegan salad and really loved it. We also ordered the mango and peach dessert. The mango was decent but the peach fell really short, no idea what it's suppose to taste like but it was def lacking. The pomegranate soda that was recommended was tasty. Overall: felt for the price point had higher expectation for the food/dessert and it def did not meet. But the service was amazing and love the ambient. I did for a moment felt like I was in another country. For those reasons we wouldn't giving this place another try and order other things on the menu. 3.5 stars.
