Cafe Calle

If you blink you'll miss it! Great ambiance, the avocado toast with an egg only $10. The warm chocolate muffin is a chocoholic's wild dream. The seasonal ginger bread coffee is delicious and the pour over is rich and full of flavor. The staff takes their time and prepares the food and beverages with a touch of pride. They even make their own flavor syrups in house. Our order was $28 for a generous fare.

Great coffee ☕ shop! Very cozy and full of warmth, just what you need during the winter ❄️ ☃️ season. I ordered a Gingerbread latte hot, it was freakin delicious! And the customer service was also great. Thanks to everyone working there 🤌👏 Café Calle can be easy to miss, driving by, but once you find it you won't regret it. DEFINITELY recommend! 👍🫰

My favorite local coffee spot! Their pistachio matcha and ube brownie are my go-to treats, but honestly, nothing disappoints. They also sell amazing salsa. I just tried their Abuelita cold brew and uff ... so good! They also host fun local events, which makes the vibe even better. Can’t recommend this gem enough.

I was in the area and needed to stop somewhere to crank out a couple emails. Great little cafe. Very welcoming staff and clean and nice atmosphere, with good music and plenty of seating options. Prices aren’t too bad either - i got a cappuccino for $5 (sub oat milk).

Ordered a iced Spanish latte with oat milk (half sweet) I always do half sweet when trying a new spot I don’t like my coffees too sweet and it came out really good. The ham and cheese croissant was amazing too. No complaints.

I love to support local coffee shops and was so excited to find Cafe Calle! Street parking was pretty easy and I stopped in for a latte. It was lovely inside with lots of different seating options for work or chill. I ordered a hot oatmilk latte and the barista made a cold one, but very quickly replaced it with a hot one for me! She was very sweet. The community at the coffee shop was great too! They said they do art and bring supplies for people (I believe Wednesdays? 3-5).

I wish they had smaller cup sizes but other than that this place is fine if you want to hang out with a friend.

I ordered a Pistachio Matcha Iced Drink! 🧉The toasty pistachio with the herbal mattcha topped together with seetner was the best combination ever 🫶🌟👌very unique on it's own. Loved how the Atmosphere is very urban but also Organically Nature like feeling 🦋 overly the location is very lively and service was 👍 great. Small place for small groups. Great fro a small business talk or date ✨️🫶

I tried the espresso bubbly, and it was definitely something different! I love the creativity behind it. it's very innovative. The ladies at the bar were super friendly, which added to the experience. The shop also has a lot of cool, random little things like stickers and merch that are super cute. Prices were reasonable too, which is always a plus. The only downside is that there's no parking available, at least none that I noticed. But it's a cute little coffee shop for the community, by the community, and it really feels like that. While the beans weren't exactly to my liking (I can pick up on roast profiles pretty well), I think that's just personal preference. I'd definitely come back for a milk-based drink next time!

A very comfortable & inviting coffee shop serving up solid coffee & tasty pastries. A gift card from a friend brought me here. The food menu looked great (I had my eye on the pita wrap, next visit it's mine) the barista was very helpful, music selection was perfect. I stopped by around 2pm on a Friday, a few people working, cute Abuelas knitting. I ordered the Abuelita cold brew 5/5 a perfect amount of sweetness, strong cold brew, I loved this drink! I also ordered the churro croissant warmed up it was honestly heaven! Another 5/5. I was happy to hear that the croissant was from Homeboy Industries, local supporting local will always have my business! I had to purchase the salsa in the small fridge it looked too good to pass up, tasted excellent on eggs the next morning. If I am ever in the area I will surely pay another visit to this establishment, cheers friends!

a nice spot for a quick bite or that caffeine boost if there's adequate space to do some work or a hangout. The drinks are good and certainly the specials are inviting; the matcha lemonade though was a little too tart for me. The staff is also very friendly and very efficient as I was in and out in less than five minutes and it wasn't even a busy hour. It was bit loud at that time though so I'm not sure how well that would be for work, but personally I just plug my AirPods in so that's a nonissue for me.

This is my current favorite coffee shop in LA!!! It's a central American owned coffee shop with flavors inspired from the region. My favorite drink is an iced latte with Horchata cold cream. The espresso is so smooth that it doesn't need any sweetener!! They have a variety of drinks and you can ask to customize to your liking too. They are very accommodating. The owner, Diana, is so sweet! They also have good pastries options and a food menu with options ranging from avocado toast, chile relleno burrito, açaí bowl. This is a great place to study or simply hang out with friends. They have free Wi-Fi and a printer that you can use for a small fee, which is very convenient. Seating here is cozy. There is art and lots of natural lighting in this space. You can find street parking and small retail parking lot within a walking distance!

What a little gem. This place has so much appeal. It has the mom and Pop feel but also lot of the extra stuff that you might not think would be there. Wi-Fi, lots of outlets to plug-in your computer, and as a bonus they even have a printer if you really need it. I went for the Spanish latte and not disappoint. Also had the avocado toast. The vibe was relaxing. There was some background music but it was also quiet enough that you didn't feel disrupted. Appreciated that there was a decent amount of seating in there. And the staff was super nice. Will definitely make this a spot when I'm on the side of town.

First time here since I seen it on channel 5 news they were not lying delicious pan de muerto had a light filling which made it enjoyable my Spanish latte was superb on the sweetness

The service was welcoming and quick. I ordered their iced matcha latte and saw them prep it from scratch.

Hidden away among the industrial urban community within downtown Los Angeles is this quaint little cozy cafe. Once inside, you think you were in a contemporary hip vibe of a locals only hideaway. I came for coffee, but if I came for lunch, I would've ordered the avocado toast. Bonus...they have wifi and chill music playing in the background.

Great ambiance, wonderful service, food didn't quite hit the mark. The interior, with its rich color and art, is so inviting and welcoming. It's not the largest space, but reasonable for study sessions and small meals. Drinks are served in a glass unless you ask for a to-go. We opted for Iced Lattes with Oat Milk, one with Lavender and the other with Vanilla. Quite refreshing and delicious! As for food, we got the Avocado Toast with an Egg added. No seasoning on the egg, and the toast wasn't too toasty. We waited quite a bit for the toast, so that was a bit disappointing. I would come back for the coffee, but maybe try something else for food. Street parking was my best bet on a weekend morning.

What a lovely coffee shop! The coffee is so good, the staff is kind, and they have games and books you can use! The place is great for studying!

I stopped this wonderful family run business named Cafe Calle while on a food crawl. We had a chance to learn the history behind the cafe from the owner herself. She told us the beautiful story of how the cafe came to fruition along with her community effort to help other small businesses. Now to the drink. I ordered the golden milk with a shot of espresso, I also added vanilla, the drink was delicious. Everyone in our party enjoyed their drinks. You can stop by this Café on any given day and you may see a band playing, someone outside selling food, clothes or Plants. It's definitely a community environment here and I applaud the owner for taking this initiative to help others. You should definitely stop by this hidden gem.

What a cute cafe! Stopped by here after doing some volunteering at the Food Bank since it was still early and I had a taste for coffee. Looks like it's a nice place to work. The cashier was very friendly and gave some good recommendations. The coffee was great and very hot. I had a hard time deciding on the food I wanted because there were quite a few options I thought would be good. I opted for just a plan bagel with cream cheese. When I left and went to finally have my bagel I noticed it was essentially a toasted brioche bun. I wish they would've just said they were out of bagels because I would have happily ordered something else. I'll go back because the coffee is good but will probably order something else food wise.

If you could imagine the best cafe you've ever been to, and then make it better, you would get Café Calle. I've been all around Southern California looking for someone to properly serve a double espresso and this place did it. Proper cappuccinos. Ethically sourced coffee beans. At the risk of sounding uppity - this place is exquisite.

This is definitely a gem. Very inviting, not pretentious. I stopped in during the early afternoon to get on a Zoom call, and ordered a latte and lox/cream cheese on a jalapeno bagel. I have to say, that was the best lox on bagel I've had in a long time! (Of course, the latte was awesome too.) There's a very small parking lot across 33rd Street that they share with the other businesses. I was lucky to find a spot in there. I'd definitely stop by again next time I find myself in the area!

Their turkey croissant sandwich was delicious! Street parking and plenty of seating inside. I loved the art they had on display and they had cute items for sale (candles, other maybe homemade goods?) I got the abuelita cold brew and while it was good I think the flavors should be a little stronger/bolder. I'd still definitely recommend checking this place out!

Great coffee and comfortable working space. Love the vibe here. Chill community space, not stuck up vibes like some cafes. They have nice window seating, a little couch, and tables - so lots of comfortable seating options with power outlets available.

First came across Cafe Calle when I began supporting local coffee shops back in March 2020 when the pandemic hit and I knew Starbucks but would survive but small businesses wouldn't. Wanted to check our Cafe Calle when it was located at Plant Chica but for some reason I wasn't able to make it out to mid city then it happened that she was shut down and I remember being so sad because I felt it was an unfair and unjust situation. Then I saw she was trying to open up a permanent coffee shop and hold and behold it just happened that it's now located 2min drive from me. Honestly love the whole story of how things happened and turned out amazing for the owner because she never gave up on her dream. Go support her business because she is a true inspiration and the coffee is amazing. I had the pleasure of finally trying their Iced Latte during the soft opening this past Saturday. There's parking in the residential areas nearby or in front of the building. The coffee shop has a cozy feel and everyone is super friendly and nice. Will be coming back often that's for sure.

I came for their soft opening and everything seemed to be running smoothly. The owner was taking orders and she was super friendly, she took the time to greet every customer. I got a chocolate muffin and it was really good the size was good for the price. The vanilla latte was really good. Not too bitter and not too sweet. I definitely enjoyed it and would go back to try more of their drinks. Parking: we found street parking in the street next to it. Not sure if they have parking.

The Vibes are amazing and relaxing with the music, The organic food and Drinks are tasty. Very chill place where you can drink your coffee and do any type of work on your tablet. Inner city should have a lot more places like Cafe Calle

Everything was delicious. The staff is very friendly. It's also very cozy and the place is very welcoming.

Great food and atmosphere. Stopped in for breakfast. Shop and ear local. The owners work the counter and kitchen themselves and make everything with care and attention to detail. I got the lox bagel with egg, and a latte. Love the music and the mini library!

Love this place! So happy they brought authentic, third wave coffee to the mini hood. It's woman owned and operated from El Salvador. She's bringing our culture to LA. The coffee is delicious from Central American. They even have pastures and alternative milk. Love this place. Parking on the street. Safe area.

Dropped by this cozy coffee shop for some quick coffee on the way to work and was so pleasantly surprised by the quality of the coffee here! We got a hot oat milk latte and a hot Spanish latte with oat milk, which was delicious and not too sweet despite the condensed milk in it. The espresso was great and the milk was perfectly steamed and so creamy. The owner was so kind and friendly too, and there were plenty of spots to do work too with free wifi. Definitely will drop by to support the business if I'm ever in the area again.

Staff is nice and friendly. I'm obsessed with the oatmeal and blueberry matcha 10/10 . All the other things I've tried are also good but those 2 are delicious.

Their coffee is good. I had an iced Americano. Service is A1. Prices reasonable. I enjoyed my time there. I hosted a staff meeting for a group of 5. The spacing is tight but it feels cozy. Everyone in the group was pleased with what they ordered. High traffic in the morning. Overall, I definitely would recommend. Plus, their Wifi is also good!

I had a drip coffee with steamed oatmilk and a shot of cafe de olla syrup. Delicious!!

LOVE this place!! Friendly, warm environment as soon as you walk in. Hot or iced Spanish latte and a warmed up almond croissant is my go to order

Just perfect - clean cozy atmosphere, genuinely nice owner, and delicious coffee with an everything bagel. Hope to visit again when I'm in town.

Delicious coffee, food, service, and great ambiance! Love the spanish latte. Also they have large sizes which is a rare find!

I ordered the abuelita cold brew it's strong just how I like my coffee just wish it would of been a bit sweeter. I also ordered the coffee cake which is AMAZING! Will definitely return to try other pastries and drinks. Love that there's a small coffee shop with this soothing earthy ambiance with a book corner and games available as well making it a well rounded place to study or hangout.

I was looking for a nice bite after going to the CA Science Center and found this little gem. Very nice server and very tasty eats (especially the crepe). Didn't have drip coffee so I had an Americano which was fine but would like to try the drip coffee next time. Well worth a visit!

First of all the oatmeal is to die for... Definitely comfort food. I also got the Cortado w/ almond milk and it was delicious perfect for a coffee lover/addict like me. Place was very clean and great customer service. My sister got the Spanish latte w/ oat milk and she said it was really good.

My favorite cafe in all of Los Angeles. Total surprise tucked away off a street I would never expect to find it. Best drinks ever. Best chill place to work away from home office or dorm. Nicest staff EVER. Nice Latin vibes, bookcase full of smart socio económico reading treats. Love Cafe Calle wish it was closer to home but I will always visit when I am between usc and downtown. Thank you!

Café calle transports you to a cafe in Central America. The vibes are so welcoming and so authentic... but let me tell you, when I say their coffee is 10/10, I MEAN IT! I will be back for my cafecito very soon!

I had the pleasure of coming here during a work trip. The owner, Diana, is soo sweet. 10/10 experience all around If you go here I suggest the ube brookies, and the blueberry lavender lemonade!

I love it here! The owner is very welcoming, there's plenty of space to work with free wifi, and its culture rich. Plus the coffee and acai bowls are on point!

The coffee is so good - reliable and delicious. Perfect amount of flavor when you're looking for something sweet and excellent when you just want drip or an americano. The owner is wonderful, so friendly and genuine. And y'all - their Ube blondies. I have DREAMS about these ube blondies. They are so freaking good. All the pastries and food are good so don't worry... but something about the ube blondies... my mouth is watering as we speak. Guaranteed to make a bad day good and a good day great

best coffee, staff and location in South Central. All the people that i've met here are amazing. This community needs more place like this.

Came in on a Monday morning, and it was pretty empty this is definitely a hidden gem, i order a lox and cream cheese bagel, blueberry cheese danish, açaí bowl and a Spanish latte price was $27. Food was made to order so it did take a little while to come out but it was amazing !!! Bagel was yummy it had a nice amount of cream cheese an salmon aswell as some greens , such a fresh bite. The blueberry danish was warm and flakey definitely made fresh. Spanish latte was amazing as well a slight sweetness not to over powering still able to taste the espresso. The açaí bowl was so refreshing it was topped off with strawberries, banana, blueberries, honey, hemp seeds and cacao nibs. Service is was amazing the cashier/ server was super nice and definitely put love in the food he served. Over all this is a must try cafe, it is small inside but it's such a nice amount of space if you want a place to study and do work, this cafe is playing soft music and it also has a PRINTER !!! This place is awesome will definitely be a returning customer

The best coffee shop in south central LA , the coffee is top tier every single time no matter which way I order it. The food hits the spot every single time! Love this shop favorite one hands down and the service? 10000000/10 ! Diana is an amazing owner always great to talk with her !

I enjoyed coming to Cafe Calle, t's super local for me and the Barista Isiah was super helpful and friendly! My fiancé tried Isiahs signature drink mint chip latte and omg it tasted just like a cookie/ice cream!! I got the blueberry lavender lemonade with a splash of mint and I LOOOVED IT! I felt super welcomed with the beautiful art and amazing barista!

Great place for lunch and social event. Food and services were good. I would recommend a visit.

The coffee was great but I paid extra for avocado on my croissant and they didn't add it. Kinda disappointed but overall service was good.

This coffee shop blew my socks off. I ordered the pour over coffee and it was very smooth. I didn't need to add milk or sugar. I had a sip of the honey lavender iced latte and it was super fresh and balanced. The place is family friendly with amble seating. It's also very clean and eco-friendly. There is a great selection of coffee for sale. This is a great addition to the neighborhood.

Love the coffee, the bagels and the customer service. Highly recommended. Will def. Go back again.

You can taste the quality in every sip. I've been lucky enough to treat myself when she is at events and now she has a beautiful café that feels welcoming and homie. It's also clean and spacious. More importantly, great customer service! Highly recommend.

This was a small cute place. The coffee was good and their pastries were delicious. Great place to have a little coffee date or do work

Cafe Calle feels like home!!!!! Best coffee and definitely best cold brew!!! The owner Diana is amazing and always so joyful!! Love the energy and there's so much room to come in a be able to focus on work and enjoy amazing cafe !!!

Best coffee I've had in a while, beautiful shop, amazing owners make me always feel warm and welcome. You can see that a lot of blood sweat and tears went into this little shop. Honestly I wish Diana nothing but the best, and I look forward to my next cup. I had a cold brew last time, super refreshing and packed with flavor
