    Welcome to the jungle of lots to see! The menu options are vast, so many delicious desserts and drink choices, and lots of art mixed with community announcements and more. But amidst all this is that the core of the food and how it's prepared is healthy and delicious. I enjoyed a savory chicken banh mi with a Mexican mocha that was super rich in texture and flavor. Parking is a little challenging but not a deterrent. I'll be back :)

    immune boost juice
    Ruby B.

    I went to tribal cafe for the first time this past weekend when visiting LA, and I loved it! I wanted to try their immune boost juice since I am getting over being sick. I had expected it to not taste so great since I don't normally love strong juices but this one was delicious. The flavors weren't too strong which is what I was worried about. I also got the turkey pesto bagel which I would also recommend. Their aioli is delish!

    always love stopping by this spot. i usually either get a juice or and coffee today was a juice type of day. i will say it is a bit on the pricey side if you get the large but they have other options as well that are way less shocking lol service is always great and i love discovering new menu items on their huge list of options.

    Pro7. The Tipping Point Smoothie

    I visited Tribal Cafe once 12 years ago. I recently was in the area and decided to check it out again. Atmosphere-wise, not much has changed. Same eclectic earthy vibe. Even the menu offerings seems very similar. Usually I attempt to order different things from a menu. But since the Filipino FaknChikn Adobo Sandwich aka Coral Bleaching still remains to be the most unique vegan item on the menu, I was curious to see if it had improved. And you know what? It has! The "chicken" reminds me of a vegan sausage. The sauce had much more flavor. I will mention that it still didn't remind me of the flavors of a Filipino adobo but I'm not mad at it. Maybe it was more of a Mexican adobo and that's cool. It comes with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, vegan mayo, and vegan cheese. The bread roll was a perfect soft texture. Even my Meateater Hubby was impressed with this sandwich. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tribal-cafe-los-angeles?select=o1YA9tWcGvzIyIV6C1gGUQ We also ordered a smoothie called The Tipping Point. I enjoyed the balance of almond milk, cold brew coffee, banana, rolled oats, chia, cacao, and vanilla plant protein powder. I also enjoyed the tiny bits of dates for a bit of sweetness. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tribal-cafe-los-angeles?select=6WANqXBhAXr3TJDaHafO2A I couldn't resist ordering a slice of the Vegan Chocolate Cake. Yum! Great price too at $3.50 per slice! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tribal-cafe-los-angeles?select=On9e0Ies_I58QZeEOm2IGA Upgrading my rating to 4-stars! Perhaps on my next visit, I'll finally check out their other vegan sandwiches.

    Nice place in Echo Park. I went to Tribal Cafe and ordered a waffle with sausage and ham, and a French vanilla latte. The food was tasty and filling, and the coffee was really good. The staff were very friendly and kind. I had a great experience and would come back again.

    Juice 2 & 8?
    Brenda L.

    The good: I got two fruit juices (I think #2 and #8 on the juice menu) in a medium. The drinks were refreshing and pure. It was high quality juice with fruits like coconut, strawberries, mango, pineapple and orange. They filled up the container and didn't rob you of juice by adding ice. They have both and I door and outdoor space. They have a lot of great menu options outside of drinks. The bad: The total with a 10% tip and tax was just under $39 so it is definitely pricey. I felt pressure with the tip because the cashier held the machine and said "if you wanna leave some love" and it was too awkward to click the "other" and enter "0" button while he held the machine and after he said that. Both of the indoor and outdoor spaces are small. It's hot inside. There is no central a/c but they do have fans. It adds to the tropical juice shop feel. The interesting: They actually forgot to charge me and I walked out with the drinks. I realized I hadn't paid yet so I returned to do so and they didn't realize they hadn't charged me. The interior and exterior feels like you're in a third world country juice shop but the prices feel the opposite. The signs are everywhere in different spots. The door is a metal grate gate and there are boxes and supplies stacked everywhere inside.

    Service was very good. Sandwiches were good but not good enough to justify the prices, two sandwiches and one drink and total was $40. Cool great environment and cool restaurant a lil warm in there.

    BF7-B. Full Breakfast Sandwich with Bacon
    Shanina L.

    They have a massive menu, which can be overwhelming. A wall full of different sandwiches and a separate wall for smoothies. What I liked most about the breakfast sandwiches we got are that they were filled with veggies, it was quite refreshing. The bacon and egg were cooked just right. The chicken is white chicken for the adobo sandiwhich, which Im not used to when I eat the dish but it felt healthier but could use more of the adobo sauce. Service was friendly. We went in the morning so it was easy to find street parking.

    menu is extensive & the people who work here are amazingly kind - the menu takes up like every wall but tbh just look at the mobile order menu online to make it easy for yourself. 1000000/10

    Good food, great hospitality! The vibes are great, all the staff is super nice and the food is delicious. I ordered the chicken adobo sandwich and it tastes so good and was very filling. I also got the pineapple quencher and the drink was so refreshing. The dessert was also yummy! Will definitely be coming back. :)

    The Q7 pineapple/peach iced drink on the left and the wrong Q7 on the right
    Heather S.

    I've been here a few times for the food but my favorite is the drinks. Especially the Q7 it's an iced peach and mango drink with green tea and pineapple chunks. When I got my drink it was completely different looking. It had white foam on top and it was blended pineapple. I'm not a fan of blended fruit because I don't enjoy the texture, so I already knew I wouldn't really like it as much, but I wasn't going to say anything if it tasted the same because at the end of the day that's all I care about. When I drank it though it was extremely watered down, and honestly not sweet at all. When I asked the girl there about it she kept insisting it was the same drink she just makes it different. Which first of all iced and blended drink are two different categories so no it's not the same. Which is why it's so watered down. I'm not really good at talking on the spot, so I just got aggravated and left after she kept saying it's the same, but honestly the lack of accountability was the most frustrating part. If you know you messed up just remake it, it's not that big of a deal. The menu says iced, the customer that's paying wants iced not whatever you want. I will add that she DID offer to add pineapple chunks, but seeing as the whole drink was blended full of pineapples the suggestion was not great. Which is when I was basically done and just left.

    Chocolate Cookie
    Lauren Y.

    Drove past and thought this cafe looked good so we stopped by and I'm so glad we did! We got the global warming sandwich and the giant chocolate chip cookie. Both delicious! We were so hungry we didn't even take a picture of the sandwich and it was gone in an instant. Staff were so kind and the interior was cute and cozy. There is also some outdoor seating. Would definitely come back, the menu is huge!

    This was my first time at Tribal Café, and I'm giving them a solid five stars! The vibe here is warm and welcoming--very "lived-in," with that charming neighborhood feel. It's like you've stepped into a family kitchen where Mom is cooking up something amazing. The food is absolutely delicious. I tried the B1 Ultimate Vegetarian Black Bean Tempeh Burger, and wow--it was incredible! I could've easily eaten two of them. The smoothie I had was also fantastic. What stood out the most was the excellent customer service. The staff was friendly and made me feel right at home. The only downside is that parking in the area isn't the easiest, but the experience at Tribal Café more than makes up for it. Love and peace, Be a Proud American
