    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!

    Menu August 2025

    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.

    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!

    Fish tacos

    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.

    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!

    Piña colada

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

    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 .

    Goat Cheese Panini..
    Marie T.

    Found this lil jem of course from Yelp when I went to stay with hubby & omg .. I don't eat sandwiches but let me tell you I got the turkey & goat cheese sandwich it was awesome!! The same day took the hubby there & he absolutely luved it too! Now when he goes he teases me by sending me pics. We went for his birthday & they gave us the biggest booth they had! I wasn't able to get him a cake but they had something better there. Was delicious! Give them a visit try them out. Breakfast Lunch & dinner all day! P.S this is not my original Yelp. All my check ins pics & reviews are there. I can't get to it. I'm sad. Ambiance is pretty good to good for party's .

    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!!

However, I decided to give this café a try because East LA cafés are rare, and I wanted to support this particular business. I ordered a matcha, a coffee for my sister, and a few baked goods. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The matcha was poor quality, the coffee was mediocre, and the baked goods tasted like items from Ralphs or Costco. They seemed almost stale, were clearly not baked in-house, and lacked everything you'd expect from a baked item from a café. What was especially frustrating was that the matcha et al. is priced as if it were ceremonial grade, despite the quality being far below that standard. The bakery items are prepackaged products arranged to fit the café's aesthetic rather than freshly made offerings. The space itself is cute, and the woman who helped us was very kind. However, the quality of the food and drinks simply does not justify the prices. I really wanted to like this place and support a local East LA café, but the overall experience fell FAR short of expectations.

It's like a fancy filet o fish without the soggy bun, packed with amazing fried fish and tarter sauce. I'm just disappointed when they don't have this in stock, but sometimes they would make more, and that'll just be an extra wait. Downside is that I first tried the fish panini years ago and it was a bit better then, but it's still good currently. Other pastries I've tried here have been pretty good. They had some various buns with mochi inside, and those were great. Another one of my fave is their mentaiko salt bun. Great flavor, though I wish they would stuff the thing with more mentaiko. Their curry breads are good too. I took my daughter here and she got one with cute emoji drawn on, and she said the custard filling and the bread was tasty as well. I've tried some drinks here and they were alright. A friend was into their banana matcha when they have that in stock. Pretty simple layout here. Get in line and see the goods, then you reach the cashier and order and pay.
