I was in the area and stumbled on this super cute cafe! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a warm "hello" from Rafa and Annette :) they are the owners of this awesome little place. Rafa makes the BEST iced Mexican Mocha while Annette makes the best turkey sandwiches, she makes sure to pack them with meat and all the fixings. If you're in the area, please stop by and visit my friends, you will not regret it. read more

Just drove through around it. Never went inside would like to another day! Love the street art!!! It's a hard fine haha!

Porter Junction Cafe is a surprising discovery with Annette and Rafael at the helm creating homemade Amazing Mexican Mochas! Their business is tucked away where they service local workers in particular. They are pleasant, interesting and interested in knowing you! It makes me wish I lived close enough to make Annette and Rafael's cafe my daily stop. read more

Randomly found this little cafe right off the freeway exit. It's perfect if you want to grab coffee, smoothie or a grab/go item. They make deli or breakfast sandwiches. They were pretty friendly and had good conversation! I opted for the Go Greens smoothie and Garden Salad (spent about $15) everything tasted fine! read more

Super sweet couple that's been here for sometime. I had the tuna & eggs salad combo sandwich it was great really fresh and filling. Nice lil type quaint lunch spot. read more

I love this cafe. We work nearby and our office continually orders sandwiches from this place all the time - the husband and wife duo is just a cherry on top of the great sandwiches that they have here. They always greet us with a smile and a wave since they recognize us. The shop is very lived-in and homely - there are pictures up on the wall of family members and of course, the classic Dodgers and Lakers memorabilia. I'd love to sit in this cafe one of these days to eat in instead of taking it back to the office all the time. 100% recommend. I absolutely love the turkey sandwich and they have such a great variety of bread as well! read more

What a kool kute spot to pick up a beverage, brekkie or lunch in this warehouse-y community of the 213. Pretty much serving the morning and day-time peeps in the area. Porter Junction Cafe is one of those shop locations you'd see but often drive past as you're exiting an off-ramp. Seemingly random but surprisingly convenient. Great coffee, tasty breakfast and lunch options on their menu. Really decent prices too. Staff are great-- kind and always ready to help. The operating hours might be a bit re-vamped for now so best to double-check by calling. If you happen through this Arts district during the day and feel peck-ish, Porter Junction is worth checking out. read more

First time going there and omg it was so yummy the sandwiches and smoothies were so delicious and the owners were so friendly 100% recommended. Will be coming back!! read more

Most odd location for a cafe but it's very spacious inside and service is welcoming. The iced Latte was extremely strong, but nothing wrong with that of course. The ambiance, service, location, and coffee are all a solid grade, enough for me to come back here! read more

Sweet little sandwich shop in an unlikely place, but worth a short trip for me. Great service by the couple that owns it, and tasty sandwiches. Good vibes. read more

This place is like a small oasis in the middle of the arts district and freeways. The people who run this place are so nice-- honestly it's the customer service that made this review. :) It's a mom & pop shop, and they really create the food for you to enjoy. Even it's a casual place, I appreciated that they checked up on us. The food is cheap, has generous portions, & crafted with care. I had the Breakfast Burrito-- the eggs were fluffy and nice, although I thought they could be more softer (tad overcooked), I appreciated that it wasn't too salty or greasy. The food came out pretty fast and the atmosphere is relaxing and quiet. read more

I found this little hidden gem on yelp and decided to give it a try. You will miss it if you drive to fast.. lol This little hidden gem is perfect for a quick healthy lunch. I ordered the turkey cranberry sandwich on wheat and it was really good. I also ordered a mint lemonade which was very refreshing on a hot summer day in Los Angeles. The inside was clean and artsy very cool. The only downside is that there is no parking so you have to find parking on the street which is not always easy to find. I will definitely come back again to try out their coffees. read more

I got the turkey in sourdough and it was delicious! Family owned and they are so sweet. My husband and kids are such big Dodger fans so I can't wait to show them all the cool bobble heads that were display in the restaurant. Thank you so much Annette for your hospitality and the great lunch! read more

Hidden Gem! My boyfriend lives super close to this location and his roommate told him about this place. It's quaint and cute. The variety of food is plenty but not overwhelming. The service was great, and friendly. Very welcoming and comfortable environment. I got the veggie sandwich and the Go Green Smoothie. I rate both 5/5. The sandwich was thick and delicious, very flavorful, quality ingredients. The smoothie is refreshing and sweet. My BF got the Breakfast of Champions with ham, bacon, and provolone (and egg) on a fresh croissant. He inhaled his food before I could get a picture of his breakfast sandwich. So I'm assuming it was DELICIOUS. He also got the Berry Berry smoothie which is tangy and good. He rates both items 5/5. Highly recommend! read more

They do not offer wifi. I just left after purchasing a beverage and hoping to get a little bit of work done but was told they did not offer wifi. Do not want to lower the rating. Just let people know about the wifi situation, which was my reason for heading over. read more

Homemade Eats here! Home made potato and macaroni salad are available throughout the day along with salads, soup, sandwiches and more. The shop is surrounded by warehouses and auto shops. The exterior camouflages a very warm and inviting interior filled with good vibes. Nice tables and WiFi! I ordered the kosher hot dog and the home made potato salad. Overall, the food was AOK. ~Friendly Customer Service- 5 Stars. ~Hot Dog and Home Made Potato Salad-3.5 Stars The hot dog had flavor and a snap to it. The potato salad was flavorful and unique. ~Parking Sucks. However, the entrance to the 10 East is on the opposite side of the street and you can make a quick get away. Overall, I am a fan. read more

My friend and I stumbled upon this place and no DOUBT were going back. We just yelped "lunch with wifi" when we were in the surrounding area and found Anette's little shop. Limited day/hours but they have everything you need: - delicious food (best home made potato salad everrrr) - cute, welcoming atmosphere - free wifi - clean bathroom Anette even came to our table to say hi and ask us how things were. Found out shes been there 10years! We saw the lunch rush happen and all the locals that come here and we cant wait to come back and support this local small business! read more

Great food friendly people! Good selection of salads sandwiches coffee and smoothies.

Fresh ingredients and delicious chicken salad sandwich. I also loved their vanilla iced coffee.

This place is an oasis surrounded by trucks and factories. I got the egg salad sandwich this time and it was really good. The multigrain bread was nicely toasted and the egg salad matched well with the tomatoes and red onions. The mayo inside the egg salad was perfectly balanced. The latte here is better than mist mom and pop shops. Definitely recommend if you are near the area. read more

If you're ever driving through the weird 5S, is this the 10W or 10E? highway intersection...do yourself a favor and get off on Mateo/Santa Fe instead of driving yourself crazy or in the wrong direction and make a pit stop at The Porter Junction Cafe (M-F until 2:30pm only) for a navigational pow wow with your GPS over a delicious iced drip coffee. The lovely people serving it are a good dose of friendly before you hop back on the not-so-friendly road. The best part is that the storefront is right at the mouth of the 10E/60, so you can get back on the highway with ease (if, of course, that was the highway you were hoping to continue your road adventure on). They have wifi, tables, and some fantastic (and cheap!) bfast/lunch options and pastries. read more

It is quite possible to miss this inconspicuous eatery as The Porter Junction rests in an area that may be out of place. The 10 East onramp is perpendicularly located from The Porter Junction. Surrounding businesses are a hodge podge of manufacturing, garment, auto body shops and anything else you can think of. That being said, it behooves me when I consider who are their prospective patrons. The highly populated blue-collar Latino and Southeast Asians laboring in this area tend to BYO lunch or purchase food from the catering truck that parks in front of the pallet company. Lo and behold, there are a few artsy folks and shop workers that patronize The Porter Junction. I come to the realization that The Porter Junction is a sort of an oasis in the midst of a concrete jungle. Parking is an issue but not entirely impossible. There are sporadic available curbside spots. There is a lack of artistic value from the eatery's exterior, but as you enter, you'll notice the brick walls leading up to bare wooden high ceilings and a gorgeous turquoise Tiffany Blue wall canvasing several art pieces portraying coffee cups and freeway/interstate road signs. There are also the fun square shaped leather neon orange chairs. The atmosphere is really nice. And the people running the shop even nicer. The facility is clean as well as their restroom. I was greeted by Annette as I walked in. She was preparing food for another patron at the moment, granting me a moment to digest the simple menu. My decision was fairly easy as I chose a 2% Caffe Latte, "Breakfast of Champions" Croissant Sandwich, and an Oatmeal with Strawberries & Bananas. 2% Caffe Latte: 3/5 Your milk options are whole milk, 2%, and skim. My expectations couldn't have been as high as a coffee house as Urth or Intelligentsia. The Porter Junction is not cannot be placed in that category. Their latte is actually on par with something you would have at Starbucks. I found my espresso beverage to be a bit too milky and a tad bitter...exactly like Starbucks. "Breakfast of Champions" Croissant Sandwich: 3.5/5 A buttery sweet croissant is the foundation of this sandwich containing a slice of Black Forest Ham, Scrambled Eggs and Swiss (or your choice of cheese). This was a pretty delicious sandwich. Regrettably, the serving of ham is lacking, but you certainly cannot expect much for a $4 sandwich. Oatmeal with Fresh Strawberries & Bananas: 4/5 Hearty oats mingling with sliced banana and strawberries. Add sugar to taste. Although this was a standard oatmeal, it does beat what you would get from McDonald's or Starbucks. Final thoughts: The Porter Junction is a nice change of pace for anyone working in this part of LA. Their hospitality and personal touch is attractive and they prepare your food and beverages with TLC. I am glad The Porter Junction is located where it is. They bring a touch of class to a very 'hard' area. Best wishes to this new business. 3.75 stars (rounded up) read more

I love coming here. Everybody is so nice and they take the time to explain certain items on the menu for you. They can of course make modifications to any sandwich. Breakfast sandwiches are served all day! I am a breakfast fan, so I love this. Some of their smoothies are all natural: Berry Smoothie Paradise Green blend Prices aren't bad. I would recommend coming here for a good homemade sandwich and smoothies. Porter junction really is a gem in this industrial part of DTLA read more
