Came here with my parents. My dad's exact words, "I've ordered a number of things here and I've never been disappointed." Don't sleep on the massive Bayou burrito. Perfect kinda breakfast but almost lunch meal. 10/10 Staff is great too! Playlist is fire! read more

Undergrind Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

So my initial review was great about the food. Had some concern for treatment from the staff. The owner reached out to me and although it took me some time to return, I made good on my redo from previous visits. She had a huge concern for the customer and I don't want to come off as a horrible human being, just report what we felt and the reasons. Anyways, enough negative, the point is she asked more details. We went back a couple of times it was much better! I can't thank her enough for caring. That matters and that's the reason we came back, she made the difference. Look, my one review is nothing, loads of people go here, it's a hot spot of quality food. Their salsa is amazing and the burritos top shelf. So thank you again, best. Carl read more

I love this place! The crew works so well together. Laid back vibe, but they get it right. Everything tastes homemade and with care. Community shop lookin out and taking care of the community. read more

This is my first time at Undergrind Cafe. I do not live in the area, but had always great things about the coffee here. I was finally in town visiting a friend and decided to try. I ordered a blended drink that was unfortunately over blended. I had expressed to my friend that I enjoyed my drink, but it just wasn't blended right. Brooklynn overheard my concerns and offered to make it again. It was blended to perfection. Definitely will be coming back just because of her! :) read more

Undergrind Cafe - Peanut Butter Cup Latte - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Ordered through Uber Eats...did not receive any utensils or napkins. A bit disappointing when you have shrimp and grits and have to hunt down utensils to eat it. Shrimp and grits was meh and bit soupy. The Bahn Mi (chicken) was on point! Sandwich was flavorful. Bread was nice. read more

My partner and I tried the Bayou Burrito and The Flame sandwich... absolutely blown away! The burrito was so flavorful, the spicy sausage and the shrimp combo was my favorite part. The flame sandwich satisfied my craving for something on the "fresh" side with the greens and pickled onions. Totally recommend!! read more

I love this place and it has great food. It's just so slow getting food orders, especially if you do the online order. ** please give Izzy a raise!! He's the only one that cared enough to go out of his way to figure out what the problem was and to get me my food that was delayed by others. read more

I absolutely love this fabulously hip, friendly local cafe that serves an eccentric array of flavored coffees and teas, served in pink accented cups! The food menu has an incredibly diverse selection, and the portions are superbly generous. read more

Undergrind Cafe - Amazing selection of gorgeous classics and dreamy coffee and tea lattes - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

A cool and cute coffee shop pumping out an assortment of food and drinks, Undergrind Cafe was a great breakfast spot to check out! The Chai latte was excellent! Had the perfect flavor balance where you got that punch of chai and slight milkiness from the latte. I'm not a huge fan of grits but we also got that and since it was heavily seasoned, it gave it a good flavor and wasn't bland (which is always my concern with grits). The Sweet Cream Pancakes are soooo gooooodddd! You can eat them alone without any syrup. That's how good and flavorful they were. Absolutely a must get! The break of day burrito was also really solid. It's fully loaded and very filling. I ordered it with bacon and they definitely are generous with the meat portion. Side Note: We had to wait around 25 mins for our food but to be fair the workers gave us that heads-up as we ordered. I don't know if this is the norm but we went on a Sunday late morning read more

Their food is delicious. Their coffee, wonderfully strong and not bitter at all. The people are all so cool. The vibe is wonderful! I wish there were more places to sit, but that's the only downside. A perfect on the go breakfast sandwich is the English Benny. Easy to eat in the car and delicious. read more

Whew! Excuse me...I just had a very hearty breakfast/brunch and I'm stuffed! Will not be able to finish until much later. So, I ordered my brunch from this place and the delivery took no time. My food was hot and freshly prepared. I ordered the pancakes, the side of turkey bacon, shrimp and grits, hashbrowns and the chocolate iced blended with a shot of espresso and oatmilk. Pancakes are filling and very fluffy. I couldn't even finish one! My turkey bacon could have been crisper. Hashbrowns were good. Shrimp and grits were very savory and delicious. The iced drink was nice but a bit expensive for 8 something dollars. All in all my meal was nice. read more

Undergrind Cafe - French lover - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My boyfriend picked this place out while we were visiting LA and It is definitely my type of coffee shop! We got there during a morning rush and the food did take a good amount of time to come out, but kudos to the team for warning each person before they ordered so it was expected. I ordered a chai latte with oat milk and it was one of the better chai lattes I've had. It tasted real vs the ones that just taste like flavored syrups. I also ordered the sweet cream pancakes and usually I don't order pancakes but the title intrigued me. They were amazing. Sweet but not too sweet, I wish I had the recipe to eat them every week. The grits were well seasoned and just what I needed to balance the sweet pancakes. All in all a great find while visiting. read more

Undergrind Cafe - Sweet Cream Pancakes Grits - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Normally, given the food experience here, I would be giving the restaurant three stars... However, the intangibles give them another star to make it for. Positives first, the restaurant is mega cute outside and inside. The staff is friendly and engaging. They have an outdoor seating area which is appreciated, although the traffic noise on Robertson is a pain in the butt. Also, the prices are quite reasonable. That's rare these days... The negatives really focus on the food. First, the sausage and gravy was good, but the problem was the biscuits were much too soft... Almost tasted like cake. Those biscuits need to be firm and crunchy. A bigger disappointment was the classic All-American burrito, the burrito was lacking in cheese and the meat inside was minced so fine that it was barely noticeable. A breakfast burrito needs to be packed full of cheese that is ooey gooey and meat chunks that I can taste. Also a little bit of grease can help with the dryness. read more

Nice coffee place like the atmosphere. I enjoyed my latte and that sign mocking Starbucks was golden.

This is a nice spot near Hamilton HS. The vibe was cool and friendly and the shrimp and grits were tasty. I also got one pancake. It was more than enough to feel satisfying and have a snack later. read more

I've been going here consistently for about three years now and they've improved a lot over the years but I still have my gripes. It's absolutely kills me when a coffee shop says they can't make a cortado because it's literally 2oz milk and 2oz espresso. Undergrind thrives on its sugary little frou frou drinks but some of us just want a normal drink that doesn't taste like lucky charms! I end up going here for food more than drinks at this point. The Cali is my go to sandwich, I used to eat breakfast burrito almost daily, and the banana bread is insane and not too sweet. read more

Food is always delicious and the drinks are amazing. Highly recommend the tea lattes, I love the variety of flavors they have since I'm not a coffee person. Everyone who works here is always friendly and attentive. They have seating inside and outside with a casual ambiance. So thankful to live so close! read more

This cafe is in a super cute neighborhood. My friends and I came here hungover and we needed some coffee and food. I decided to try their "Break of the Day Burrito," and it turned out to be a flavorful and satisfying choice. What made this burrito stand out was the unexpected addition of jalapeños, which added a delightful crunch and a kick of heat. The combination of ingredients in the burrito was well-balanced and the flavors blended together harmoniously, making for a mouthwatering breakfast option. The staff there was also very friendly. read more

If I could give the Undergrind Cafe a billion stars instead of five I'd want to give them a billion plus a billion more! In only the second visit to this wonderful cafe I've been blown away by their friendly service and excellent selection of food and drinks. I can't believe how many times I've passed by this place and never stopped in sooner. Shame on me. In this review, I'm vouching for the avocado toast and the Cali sandwich as my personal favorites SO FAR. The portions and taste are great and are served up with a smile from behind the counter. The drinks I recommend are their jasmine iced tea and the Green Dragon (green macha...iced or blended with your choice of dairy or non dairy). Sooo good! Take advantage of the cozy shaded seating outside or take it to go! Either way you'll come back again and again! In short...be sure to stop by The Undergrind Cafe to satisfy your breakfast and lunch cravings and support a small business in the process! Everyone wins! Note: street metered parking available up front and they offer contactless payment. read more

Undergrind Cafe - Cali Sandwich is everything I've been looking for in a sandwich that travels well in a car! Recommended! - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Unfortunately updating my review for this place. I was so excited to come back but my salad (named "east chop") was not how it was the first time. It was mostly cabbage filled, which last time I got it it was more of a garnish. Didn't come with any cilantro. I was given two different dressings when i ordered extra dressing, but the staff was very nice and noticed the mistake too. Although, the person I was with said the thanksgiving melt was the best sandwich they've ever had. So because of that & kind staff I'm rating it 4 stars, but based on my meal it would be 3. read more

I rarely find a coffee/brunch spot where the drinks and food items are both good. However, today was a win! We got the green dragon latte, lucky charms latte, cobb salad, and the cali sandwich and it was the perfect combo. The cobb salad had these delicious parmasean crisps that I would choose over bleu cheese crumbs any day with crispy bacon bits that added the perfect crunch factor to the salad. The cali sandwich was nice and toasted and the turkey and bacon went well together. The drinks were creative and perfectly sweet! The employees were also very friendly! My only complaint is that the place is a little small, but there's tables outside to sit which was perfect for the nice weather. Will definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu! read more

Came here for a late weekend lunch and overall it was an underwhelming experience. The menu items seemed great, with some variety and exciting flavors but everything we got just fell short in some way and nothing really stood out. Parking was surprisingly easy with street-metered parking and some nearby spots in the residential streets nearby. We got the Bayou Burrito, French Lover, Spanish Lover Burrito, Emerald City, and Cold Brew. Both burritos were decently sized and even though the menu says burritos come with a side of salsa, only 1 container of mild chunky green salsa was provided for 2 burritos. We asked for another and they gladly provided more but there were no utensils provided in the bag for the French Lover toasts. In terms of flavor, Bayou has a bit more, and Spanish Lover felt like a green rice burrito with not much other fillings. The Bayou had a good amount of shrimp but the sausage amount was lacking. If I came again for the burritos, I would definitely bring my own hot sauce or something. The French Lover was interesting, berries didn't look the freshest and the presentation was a bit sad. The bread pudding aspect was good but it could have been creamier or sweeter, honestly, it was not something I would come back for and I really wonder if we just had a flop because the French toast was really disappointing. I got the Emerald City and asked for less sweet and less ice and even though it was noted, I got a cup that was 80% filled with ice and it was pretty sweet so I'm thinking maybe we just came at a busy time. I tried the Cold Brew and it gave the needed caffeine hit but it didn't taste like anything special, and I seriously wondered if it would've been better to go elsewhere for cold brew. I think the prices here are definitely a plus but in terms of flavor and just overall quality, it could be improved. read more

What a gem!! Metered street parking for 1hr. This spot has consistent customers. The menu is different than the average coffee shop. You can still get your regular breakfast sandwich or baked good however their are more soulful options. The fresh juices looked intriguing and seemed really popular. I ordered the veggies and grits, it comes with an egg and wow it was so fresh filling and delicious. The portion was large enough that I had the rest for lunch. My salted caramel latte with oat milk was good and I enjoyed sitting outside to enjoy my meal. Their are about 6 tables outside with large pink umbrellas. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, looking forward to my next visit. read more

Made me wait over 10 minutes for my coffee just for it to have been sitting in the fridge.

What a great find, and I was at first attracted to the name of the café since I love words. Then I saw the sign Black Owned so I HAD to stop in for cappuccino! Pink is their signature color and instead of drinking it in my car I'm grooving the sounds of cool music and resting against a pink wall read more

I've had this shop on my list for a while and I'm so glad that I finally took the time to try! The line was out the door when I arrived but didn't have to wait too long. Unfortunately there wasn't much seating and, although I stayed to eat my sandwhich and enjoy my coffee, I didn't end up staying here long (I originally hoped I'd be able to work here for a bit, but it's not that kind of spot). I got the supreme breakfast croissant sandwhich and an iced lucky charms latte. The croissant sandwhich was delicious (I don't know what the sauce was but *chef's kiss*) and the latte was fine, it tasted like a pretty standard vanilla latte with maybe a hint of the marshmallow promise toward the end. However, I will say I really had my eye on a tea latte and then changed my mine. I'm def planning on coming again to try one of the tea lattes and enjoy even more of their food! read more

Undergrind Cafe is a great coffee shop and breakfast place in the area. The drinks and food are solid! My favorite drink to order is the Vanilla Bean Latte (1/2) powder and Veggie Grits. Usually, I am not a fan of grits, but the Veggie grits is my favorite order here. If you're in a time crunch, I recommend calling your food order ahead of time. Whenever I call in my grits, it's usually a 15 minute wait time. Parking around this area is hard to find. Either residential parking or metered parking. Unfortunately, there is only one cash register, so if you're in a rush in the AM, be prepared to wait in line. If you come in on the weekday in the early AM, expect a long wait especially since it attracts a lot of students from the nearby high school. read more

When you come into Undergrind you don't get the impression that it's some legendary LA cafe that has been pushed into mainstream media for its innovative and fancy products. It's a good and cute local cafe that serves the people of the neighborhood with necessities: coffee and small bites. The coffee is strong and solid, the sandwhich, I think California sandwich was massive and pretty good. One star off for quality + ratios of food, but for 16$ it was a great meal. Happy to come back again! read more

I now have to get up and move my car at 7:00am for the sanitation rehabilitation workers. So instead of grumbling I decided to go to a different coffee joint. That's not totally true as I am still grumbling, but today I'm going to Undergrind. Next door to Undergrind is the Barbara Mendes Gallery. At the Undergrind, they tempted me with a gluten free dairy free but not taste free Matcha Vanilla donut to go with my Salted Caramel, Vanilla Bean & espresso latte. My first matcha donut was not too dense and tasty, as was the delicious Salted Caramel Latte. As they say at Undergrind, friends don't let friends drink Starbucks. read more

First time visited and I liked it! They have a large menu. I got the lucky charms latte and cali sandwich. The latte lacked flavor and was too milk heavy for my liking. The sandwich however was good!
