Paisita cafe is our neighborhood spot. When our daughter was a newborn and our world basically existed within a two-block walking radius, this became our little escape. That alone makes it a special place for us. Love the vibe, love the people, and they make a great cup of coffee. I'm a big fan of the Wake & Bake roast, and my go-to is an iced flat white. Just a great neighborhood cafe - the kind of place you feel lucky to have a couple blocks from home. read more

Paisita Cafe - Me, daughter dog Bruno - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Paisita absolutely knocked it out of the park. The vibe alone is worth checking out--vinyl records covering the walls, and somehow every song they played was a banger back-to-back. You can tell a lot of thought went into creating a spot that feels both welcoming and unique. I ordered the chilaquiles and they were incredible. Easily one of those dishes where you're already thinking about coming back before you finish your plate. For drinks, I got the Glory Latte and it was perfect. The espresso actually shines through, and it's not overloaded with sweetness like a lot of specialty lattes can be. If you're looking for a simple, well-made latte, this is it. And if you've got more of a sweet tooth, they've got plenty of creative specialty drinks to choose from too. This place feels like it's about to become a local favorite. Definitely a new go-to spot, and I'll be bringing all my homies from the area here soon. Highly recommend. read more

Coffee shops are ubiquitous in Venice especially along Abbott Kinney blvd. Paisita Cafe is rustic corner cafe located in small plaza that offer breakfast, empanadas and brunch as well as cold-hot drinks. They have a warm, inviting, and chill atmosphere, with ample outdoor seating and convenient parking. Menu items are modest with competitive prices. I was on my way to the beach and made a quick stop to grab a hot Latte. And it was bloody perfect--smooth, frothy and delightful. Staff were cordial and competent. Overall, I had a positive experience and liked my Latte. I recommend you visit. read more

On my tour of discovering coffee shops around the Westside of LA, came across this little gem. The coffee was very tasty and their empanadas looked too good to pass up. Spoiler alert, they are. Since it was our first time there we asked a lot of food recommendations, and they said all the right things that lead to the empanada. There is a good amount of seating and we found a space pretty easily in the lot. My only complaint is that there isn't WiFi, but I was able to hot spot it off my phone, so all good. read more

Stopped by for a quick coffee and immediately made note to self to come back with friends for a cute breakfast/ lunch. There is a parking lot with plenty of parking. The outdoor seating is cute and dog friendly. There is also indoor seating and the interior is also very aesthetically pleasing. They have lots of options for food, pastries, and empanadas- which I will have to try. We got the cosmic coconut and the glory which were delicious- especially the cosmic! Service was quick and everyone was friendly with amazing vibes! read more

Hash browns be hashing. Huevos be rancheroing. Cortado be cortado-ing. Paisita is officially awake over in Venice. The chilaquiles come through loud and proud, saucy, balanced, zero sog. The breakfast burrito with chorizo is savory, rich, wrapped tight, and not here to play. Pair it all with a cortado that's dialed in and doing its job properly, and suddenly your morning has structure and purpose. Paisita is off to an excellent start. I'll be back, hungry and respectful. read more

Stumbled upon this place randomly. We needed to use the bathroom but were blown away by the pretty decor and interesting drinks that we decided to get some caffeine! The Yerba mate lemonade was a standout. Fresh minty and tea flavor, not too sour or sweet, and incredibly wiring with 160mg of caffeine. I ordered the paisita latte which was also tasty with a cinnamon clove spice but just a tad too sweet for my taste. read more

Visited again to meet up with friend for brunch. Much friendlier service this time. Had another delicious mocha latte. Tried the Chilaquiles, pretty good. I liked the beans! It was busy today so we grabbed a spot out back on AK. Appreciated the friendly vibes and chill hang on this gorgeous day. read more

When the white baristas are working, they'll put lids on and personally deliver drinks to white customers, but when my drink's ready (I'm a POC woman) they leave it on the counter without a lid and yell out my name to pick it up. I noticed this the first time I went but wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately after my third time experiencing this, I won't be coming back. read more

Paisita Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I discovered Paisita in 2025 and am so glad they opened in this location. Since I first came over the summer, I've been here a few times and have always had a great experience. Staff are lovely and they do serve their coffees in actual glassware, the barista just informed me on my first visit that they're in the process of getting tall glassware for drinks like lattes. The coffee here is always done with perfect latte art and the ambiance here is really cute. It's an El Salvadoran place, so they have a full menu, with things like empanadas, as well as breakfast croissants and burritos. The breakfast burrito here is fantastic. They're located within a kind of strip mall and I've always been able to get parking inside, though I generally come around 7-8 am. They have a few tables for indoor seating and a bunch of tables at the front and back for outdoor seating. No wifi so it's not a place to work remote. Would highly recommend for great coffee on the west side. read more

The food here was excellent! I would order both food items again, the matcha was the only thing we didn't love. It was made with coconut water instead of milk which wasn't our personal taste we were hoping for something more creamy, but the latte was wonderful!!! Will definitely be back. read more

The cosmic coconut drink was by far one of my all time favorite coffee drinks. I loved how you could actually taste the coconut but it wasn't completely overwhelming. I also tried one of their cookies, it was Madeline dough with a caramel center and chocolate chips, it was so soft and delicious. I don't think i've had anything like that before it almost reminded me of a muffin in cookie form? No line on a Sunday morning and friendly service. Also, i'm obsessed with the vintage style vibe they have going here! I would definitely come back. read more

A new coffee shop has opened near Venice Beach and it is simply delightful. Paisita is a new cafe that is focusing on El Salvadoran coffee and pairing them with delicious empanadas and baked goods. There's plenty of seating inside and a patio right out front with more tables to sit at and a small patio in the back if it gets too crowded in front. The staff here were friendly and welcoming when I walked in and offered some of their favorite suggestions and I got their special "The Glory" which was a latte with dulce de leche, espresso, and cinnamon and it was sweet and refreshing and it perked me up! The beef emapanda I got was freshly made and had a good amount of beef inside and the chimichurri sauce on the side was a great pairing. The Mascarpone cake was a surprise and one of the best cakes I've had recently. It was moist and sweet on the inside and had a great texture on the outside. I would definitely order this every time I stopped by! This is a great new coffee shop in the area and I highly recommend checking it out! read more

Newest member to the Venice block, not yet even being there for a month! When you found a cafe in Abbot Kinney that had plenty of dedicated parking spaces, I bet you wouldn't dare to disagree that it's big win. The spot was flawlessly crafted, giving that slow relaxing vibe, just perfectly suited the area being close to Venice beach. Plenty of outdoor seats to get sun-kissed, as well as few indoor ones. They even had petite patio at the back. The owners were super nice and service was swift. They served plenty of pastries, empanadas, even apparently breakfast burritos. I got their Mascarpone cake and it's luscious with light spongy texture. As for coffee, I was trying to be more 'experimental', going for their 'Gloria', which was basically latte with dulce de leche and hint of cinnamon. I surely made the right choice as I loved it so much, being not overly sweet and even the cinnamon wasn't overpowering. Having them around the neighborhood was such pleasure! read more

Dear Yelp Community, First time visiting this venue, and positive. Staff is enthusiastic, for sure...just ask for Joe (see photos), and I enjoyed the Paisita Latte (good spices). Ambiance is good, as well, plus indoor and outdoor seating. I recommend coming early when the kitchen is still open (and the drinks served in the ceramic cups) and for more time to sit and enjoy. Best wishes. Sincerely, Anna read more

This place is cute but they took all of my lunch money and it isn't even noon yet ! Ordered one iced Gloria and Carne empanada with chimichurri . I added pepper and to my empanada and I was in heaven ! Super good ! I will most likely be back for more empanadas and probably up to even reheat them at home so they are warm when they are served at the café. I just like mine a bit crispier so would probably get one or two to go and heat them up I. A toaster oven , air fryer or directly on the wire racks in the oven ! Best chimichurri I ever had . As for my drink it was decent . If you've ever been in Menotti's and are a fan of their Spanish latte ...the Gloria was giving little sister vibes to this drink ...like the Spanish latte that has not hit puberty yet . read more

Cute spot with both indoor and outdoor seating and plenty of easy parking, which is always a plus. I ordered the chorizo breakfast burrito along with a hot latte, and both were excellent--the burrito was flavorful and filling, and the latte was made perfectly. The barista took my order and was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely happy, which really set the tone for the visit. The atmosphere felt relaxed and inviting, making it a great place to sit and enjoy your food. I'd definitely come back and recommend this place if you're in the area. read more

Super cute and vibey cafe in venice! Love the colorful decor and the vinyl everywhere. Decent food and coffee and love the outdoor tables out front and back. Looking at other reviews, I guess I really missed out on the empanadas. The dos huevos one camino was fine, but a little underwhelming (or maybe what else should I have expected from the description lol). The glory was good, but fyi they charge an extra $1 to get drinks iced. Service was fine and amiable. Loved that I found easy parking in its lot! Honestly would come back because it's a cute place to get brunch with the girlies. read more

Came to grab a bite for lunch and to get an extra caffeine kick. It's located in a small plaza with PARKING! Such a game changer. It's right at the end of Abbott Kinney so close enough but not in the action which is great IMO. I got a couple small dishes. The Carne Empanada, which was filled with minced beef, cheese, and what felt like some onion. It was pretty great. The crust, especially the edges, was a bit too much breading but it was delish. Coupled with the chimichurri. It was delightful. I also got the kids bean and cheese burrito. I really love bean and cheese burritos and this was decent. It felt healthy even though it was beans and cheese and it was a good size for a kids portion. Each was $6 which feels appropriate in our current situation but sadly also feels like we should be getting more food for that amount. Besides that, just got an ice Americano which was good. The service was quick and they were friendly. The place feels airy as the doors were open and they had a patio out front. It could feel a bit brighter but their design aesthetic was with dark brown woods. Overall, it was a very chill lunch and a good place to just catch up with friends. read more

Their breakfast burrito was small but flavor was there and their salsas were on point. Matcha was lacking a little but their espresso tonic was good. I tried their bean and cheese pupusa which was pretty good too. Wish they had lorroco and cheese tho. Would come here again for their burritos maybe try a latte next time and would love to try a different pupusa. Solid place! read more

The Pakistani latte is really delicious, rivals the lattes from many coffee roasters! Not too sweet but has the right amount of spice. The lemon twists is a perfect addition for the iced version. The avocado toast has a touch of hot pepper and a perfect crunch. read more

They have no options for cheese at all other that cojita cheese. I asked for literally any other cheese, one that melts for a breakfast burrito, and they had none. I ended up giving it a chance anyway and ordered one. I waited over 30 minutes for my order. Literally. It took forever. Then, once I got the order, it was super disappointing. The burrito is awful and tastes gross. I was so hungry and came a long way just to eat here due to the good reviews but it was disgusting. All this waiting for nothing. Oh and not to mention it cost $30 for this small nasty bland breakfast burrito and two tiny cups of orange juice. That's it. Literally made me angry. I took one bite and left it there after waiting forever. Truly don't understand the good reviews. read more

Super lame. They were closed at 2:40 even though their times say 3pm. Hate that. Just update your hours or stick to them.

Really cute cafe in Venice. Easy parking and delicious empanadas and chimichurri! I also got a smoothie which I think could have a better consistency (really hard to drink through a straw) but I enjoyed it nevertheless. There is a decent amount of seating both inside and outside but it was also quite packed when I got there on a Saturday morning around 10am. I definitely recommend. They also have a more extensive food menu that I have yet to try so I'll definitely have to be back to try that as well as the coffee. Overall good vibes! read more

Pura Paisa! Best coffee shop on the west side to drop in for a quick drip (Plenty of parking). Or post up for an hour, pull out a book and grab a breakfast burrito it's bomb! If the empanadas aren't already sold out grab one. Don't forget the chimichuri! The staff is great. Brings a nice local vibe and dog friendly. read more
