Café Cultura

I’ve come to the conclusion the optimistic side of me says café cultura has potential. My idea of having good chilaquiles in red sauce and a cafe de la olla ARE NOT IDEAL WHILE FIVE CEILING FANS ARE RUNNING WITH BOTH PATIO AND FRONT DOORS OPENED. KEEP IN MIND ITS A WAS A COOL 50 DEGREE MORNING EARLIER. A good restaurant should be proud to serve HOT CAFE DE OLLA AND WARM TO HOT CHILAQUILES NOT COLD FOOD. Keep in mind in the LA area Mexican Restaurants with HOT CAFE DE OLLA AND WARM TO HOT CHILAQUILES are a dime a dozen this place did not make the cut. Going forward I won’t be back any more. I’ve had the LAST COLD CHILAQUILES IN RED SAUCE WITH A COLD CAFE DE LA OLLA! I moved three times in the inside dining area looking for a better location could not get away from the constant circulation of cold air from the five fans and two open doors. When I spend my hard earned money and spend valuable time to patronize a small business It should be more considerate have higher standards BETTER DINING ENVIRONMENT for serving HOT FOOD THAT STAYS HOT LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO CONSUME IT. PLEASE…🤦🏽‍♂️💁🏽‍♂️

Came to eat here outside on a fresh day and the heaters kept us warm. The drinks were good and the food was good as well! I would recommend this place! Only got a little confused on how to order since no one was at the front door. You have to order at the front and then find your seating.

Location: Good, Parking: Across the street , Service: Mix (Order at the cashier, food is brought to the table), Presentation: Nice, Overall: I have tried this place twice and have enjoyed both meals. The restaurant was not very busy. You can eat inside or out. I will go back and try other meals. So for this place I give 4 Stars...

First time trying cafe cultura waiting a bit to order but well worth it. Tried cafe Rompope , churro waffles , green chilaquiles plus orange tea everything was delicious!!! Would highly recommend this place to eat waiter was very nice and courteous.

Not familiar with Mexican food, it's nice self service restaurant for relaxation.

Amazing, first time and everything was just the best. And its difficult for me to rate everything to a 5 stars. The atmosphere was great, good vibes. Our server was Amazing. Caramel Latte just perfect...the churro waffles...ufff!..just Amazing...definitely have to bring my mom next time.😊

The food is fantastically delicious. The chilaquiles, the pancakes, French toast, and burritos are very savory and delicious. The hot and cold brew cafe de olla is a must.

Ashley was amazing. the food smelled great and tasted even better. the staff was very polite and the atmosphere was very relaxing. The portions were very large the decorations and theme were very pleasing to the eye. the music was very exotic and calming at the same time. eating outside even in cold weather was great with the heat lamps they have we stayed warm.

This place is really cute and the atmosphere is very chill. You go in, order your food and sit wherever you want. The service was pretty fast!! This isn't like a restaurant that has servers checking in on you at all times or you wait a while to be seated, get your food, pay for your food; but this isn't a bad thing. Even though the staff doesn't interact much after they hand you your food and drinks, they're all very nice and approachable! The aesthetics is very beautiful and I found the food simple in taste, but still well put together and had a great time with friends here. I would come back again.

I love the vibe and decor at Café Cultura, but I really dislike having to order at the counter. I prefer to sit, relax, and order at the table without feeling rushed. Therefore I'll stay away until change of operations. Grat food Horrible experience

This is hands-down my favorite spot for Mexican breakfast/brunch. I've been here twice and ordered the same thing both times--the house chilaquiles verdes with chorizo. SO DAMN GOOD. This place is basically perfect for me: amazing food and solid coffee. On our most recent visit, we got two entrées and two iced coffees, and the total came out to around $50. The only downside is that the food takes a while to come out, but I like to believe it's because everything is made to order--everything always tastes super fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly, though we don't have much interaction beyond ordering and getting our food. Bonus: there's plenty of parking near the CVS.

Great place. I would definitely come back again. I'll come back They have food and dri ks

FIRST TIMER. This place has been on my list to go and I'm so glad I went. 10/10 experience. There is only 1 line (whether you take it to go or decide to dine in) and the lovely worker came out to give us menus to look over as we waited to place our order. We decided to try a bit of everything because it all sounded so good! There were about 6 people in front of us and we waited 15 minutes to place our order. Not bad at all. The lovely man behind the register gave us complimentary cookies and they were delicious ! They have complimentary water right next to the register for everyone to help themselves to. We waited about 10-15 minutes for our food after we sat down (you can sit anywhere that is available and open once you place your order). The torta came about 25-30 minutes in but it's okay, we were enjoying everything else while we waited. The music is exceptional! It brought me back so many memories that I had stored in my head (some artists I recall being played were REIK & Shakira). It's a vibe! Everything we had was delicious and the workers were amazing ! I cannot wait to come back and try more menu items. 10/10 highly recommend you try this place when you're in the area or when you're looking for a new place to go to.

First off, the people working this morning were so friendly and nice. I walked in to be greeted from everyone who walked by. I had looked at the menu online to get an idea of what they had to offer and knew I wanted the churro waffle. The waffle came out crispy, cooked perfectly and a strong churro taste. It also included berries and whipped cream. Delicious!! The restaurant offers plenty of seating inside and outside on the patio. Plenty of parking as well on the street and in the lot behind. I will definitely be back to try more items like the chilaquiles and maybe a sandwich.

Came here on a Saturday morning about 10:30 AM. There was a little line, but it wasn't too bad. You put your order on the register and pay first before finding a table. Tons of outdoor seating and a little bit of indoor seating. Outdoor seating is well covered with lots of shade and a nice breeze. It was a beautiful day so we decided to sit outside. My friend and I have the habit of ordering two different items and sharing the food. I ordered the abuelita pancakes with strawberries and she ordered the burrito. Both items were so delicious. We had a mixture of savory and sweet, which we loved. Their blended drinks and hot drinks are also really good. It wasn't overly sugary and sweet , but actually perfectly sweetened. I will definitely be back. The prices are great as well and the service was good.

The place is okay. It's cute looking and everything and you'll be in awe with their cheaper prices but you get what you pay for because their portions are very small. The food is good but it's nothing crazy over the top at least for Mexican breakfast I'd go somewhere else.

Excited to try this place but unfortunately it was a let down. The red chilaquiles lacked flavor. Added steak but received a very small portion. Not worth the bang for your buck. The cafe de olla tasted watered down. It's not freshly made, tasted like hot water with a cinnamon package added at the end. My coffee was forgotten so I did have to ask a waiter twice to please bring me my coffee. Bacon was also missing on one of the entrees.

Ample parking in the back of the business and 2 EV charging stations . Outdoor / indoor dining available . Walk up to order , no wait staff . The staff here were friendly , they all greeted us warmly as we enter . I had the Pan Dulche French toast with assorted fruits , And avocado toast with chorizo , Both of these dishes were delicious . My husband opted for chilaquiles breakfast burritos . He never had chilaquiles in a burrito before so wanted to try . He stated it was okay , When wrapped in a burrito the tortilla chips were soggy and a tad salty . He thinks it is better served in a plate .

Stopped here for a quick coffee and was served extremely fast. The worker was helpful in deciding what to order and the coffee tasted amazing. It was just the right amount of sweetness. Will definitely be coming back.

Food was great and came out quick! I ordered the green chillaquiles with over easy eggs, you can get this as a burrito if you want. The purple conchas were expensive, $1.20 more than the normal concha prices but still tasty, their cinnamon black coffee was tasty as well I would return!

Was in the area so I had to try out this place! I love the decor and the staff was super friendly. Like many of the reviews say you order before you sit and you can sit wherever you and your party would like to sit. I enjoy the self-service aspect to it but they do being your food to you! The food was amazing- I got the avocado toast with soyrizo AMAZING and my table shared a michelada flight. Some of the best combinations I've tried so I recommend trying the flight even if you're not a beer person like me! Definitely worth the price (which isn't expensive at all) and I'll be coming back for sure.

Friendly and quick service. Order at register and pay, with servers bringing your food to you after. Cleanliness was not ideal, as there were ants on the table and a dead fly along the window to our table. We had their Cafe de Olla (less sweet than typical ones I've had before, but also less strong coffee). Abuelita pancakes were great, and would recommend. A Latin fusion spin to a chocolate chip pancakes, that didn't need maple syrup. Chilaquiles were standard. I appreciated the texture as it was less soggy than I've gotten at other places. Their El Famoso Breakfast Burrito was also pretty standard. I did get their red salsa on the side which did add nice heat, but without it, would have much flavor. Would come back again since they have an extensive menu selection that still looked interesting to try. However if not in the area, probably not necessarily worth a detour

Chilaquiles 8.5/10. "El Famoso" is famous for what? Choking people to death? 6/10 tops. One of the driest and flavorless burritos I've ever had. Please is interesting. Not sure what was converted, needs just a little on the aesthetic side. If they ever change the burrito and add a sauce, crema, or something to make it edible, I'd be willing to be invited back to review again.

The have the best chilaquiles, and lattes, coffees, good service, and ambiance. Parking in front of,side and at the back.

Service was great they were quick and easy to talk to. They have different drink options like coffees, water, juices, mimosas. Their food selection is great. I recommend the chilaquiles and adding steak, very delicious. The churro waffle was good but a little too crunchy for my personal preference. Establishment is clean inside. There's lots of patio seating available.

A fantastic spot for brunch or just to hang out. The warm, inviting atmosphere, combined with a menu full of creative and delicious options, makes it an ideal place to start your day. The chilaquiles is a must get and my fav on their menu. The crispy tortillas perfectly balance the rich, flavorful sauce, creating a dish that's both hearty and comforting. Topped with a generous amount of queso fresco, crema, and fresh cilantro, the chilaquiles have a fresh and vibrant taste. The portion size is satisfying without being overwhelming. Churro waffles is crispy on the outside with a soft, fluffy interior, the waffle is dusted with just the right amount of cinnamon sugar, giving it that signature churro flavor. Every bite is a perfect balance of sweetness and warmth with fresh strawberries and blueberries.

We drove from Pasadena to give this place a try! The staff very nice and ambiance too however, not impressed by the food at all!!! We ordered "El Famoso" burrito added steak (dry and not tasty). Abueluta Chocokate Pancakes which were dry and flavorless even with the abuelita syrup drizzle and chocolate chips. I didn't want to embarrass anyone by requesting a refund for the pancakes that were only tasted. We will not be going back here.

Food , fresh cafe style order at couter and bring it out for you ssrvice friendly ambiance unique style

we have been wanting to to try this place for a long time. when you walk in the door you have to be in line before you see the cashier and order. it was pretty organized that way there are signs on the table that you cannot save the table unless you are done ordering. we have ordered 2 al pastor burrito and pancakes and some coffee. We waited around 30 minutes for that simple order and they made a mistake but it was acceptable since there are 2 of the same number ( management please note there should only one number that should be out on the table) The burrito was just ok . I don't think that the price is worth with what was served to us. Although our server Blanca was friendly . plenty of out tables. They have nice selection of drinks. beers and. coffee. Clean bathroom as well.

Chat made me. It does say that the review needs to be at least 85 characters so I will say this, this genuinely might've been one of the best bean and cheese burritos I've ever had. Amazing customer service and the vibes were great! -@yoeats23

Service was sooo soooooo slow. Can you guys stop chitchatting and serve food as soon as it ready? I saw food sitting out for like 15 min before it was taken. Not Exaggerating. People handing out the food looked lost. They gave our dishes the grand tour of the cafe before bringing it to the table. Place is also dirty, had so many flies by our table inside. When I asked for condiments, waiter obviously looked upset. Staff is young and look like they don't care. I guess I should be eating this dry flavorless food with no salsa. The only thing this place has going for it is the coffee. The cold brew de la olla was great. The pictures of the food fooled me. Looks good but lack so much flavor.

Not too busy on a Saturday morning. You order at the counter and then you pick a place to seat and they serve you by a number. You can call for them to reserve a spot for a special day. Their food is delicious and the outside porch area is beautiful. Their coffee is delicious as well, they have speciality coffees and mimosas by glass or by bottle. (:

Great food! Had the breakfast burrito and café de olla, both were amazing. But let's talk about the real MVP... the bathroom. Spotless. Pristine. A throne fit for a king. 10/10 would dine (and recline) again

Food is average. Nothing to write home about. Ethan was pleasant and friendly even when he was busy. Restaurant atmosphere is meh.

The chilaquiles were super yummy! Tried both the green and red and felt the green were spicier. we had the pan dulce french toast! AMAZING! MUST TRY!!

I loved it was really great banana foster pancakes, chorizo avocado toast, and cafe de olla was on point

For the Cultura Every time I passed by this spot, it was like seeing a fresh pot of arroz con leche simmering on the stove--tempting, comforting, and absolutely on my list to try. The food always looked like it could deliver, and let me tell you, it does. Flavor? Nailed. Consistency? Solid. Delivery? Spot on. But then I started wondering, ¿Por qué no tiene una calificación más alta? Why isn't this place rated higher? And then I went there... and found my answer. It's not the food--it's the falta de hospitalidad. Now, no one was rude or mean, but let's just say the staff could use a little more abuelita energy. You know, the kind where someone greets you at the door with "Mijo, pásale, siéntate, te traigo algo ahorita mismo." Instead, I got vibes of "figure it out yourself, compa." Here's the rundown: it's a place where you order at the counter, pay, and then seat yourself. Simple enough, except no one--nadie--said hello, acknowledged me, or even threw a "ya mero te atiendo." And when I finally got to the register, the cashier told me I could go sit, decide what to order, and come back when I was ready. Cool, right? Except when I did, another staff member hit me with "back of the line, buddy," like I'd missed my turn at the DMV. Enter Ariana--the heroína of this story. After watching me stand in line twice, while her coworkers socialized like they were at a quinceañera, she jumped in, took my order with a smile, and showed the kind of hospitality this place deserves! She was attentive, kind, and actually seemed like she wanted to be there. Gracias, Ariana! So here's the deal: the food is 5 stars all day--pepitas of gold. The staff? Young, maybe inexperienced, and still figuring it out. Worth the visit? Totally, if you pack a little patience. Just pray you get Ariana, porque ella sí entiende la cultura. #MexicanFoodDoneRight #ForMyCultura #CustomerServiceMatters

Steak quesadilla was delicious. We also tried green chilaquiles very good and crunchy. Servers very attentive. Such a cute cafe spot.

Came to Cafe culture cause it was close to home and my wife was craving pancakes. We came on a Thursday morning and it wasn't too packed. We were helped inside and given a number to take to a table, so operations wise it's similar to Panera. The outside patio is sizeable and covered + heated so pleasant regardless of weather. I got the chilaquiles burrito with green sauce and my wife got the tres leches pancakes. She was a big fan of hers and the portion sizes were healthy too. I felt the burrito was a little dry and kinda lacking some texture but it was fine and the green sauce had good flavor. Not sure if we'd go out of our way to come back here but if convenient, wouldn't be against coming back again in the future.

First and last time here. I invited my friend today 4/19/25 for breakfast ( I suggested this place). We both agreed that the pictures look good so we gave it a shot. I ordered cafe de olla (hot) with a concha and the famous breakfast burrito. My friend ordered cafe de olla ( cold) with the same concha and the chilaquiles. Little over 24 bucks for mine and I believe his came out to a little over 21 dollars. They gave us a number. We were able to take our cafe de olla and concha to any open table. Seating is ample and the decor is nice. I took a sip of my cafe de olla and let me tell you...it was awful. It tasted like just warm cinnamon water with a little bit of sugar. The concha was decent but not great. My friend said the same thing. Finally about 25-30 mins later our food arrived. My friend took a bite of his food and the look of his face said it all..terrible. I took a bite of my burrito, it lacked flavor and had very little chorizo. They put chips on the side, even that was bad. It tasted old. I'm sorry folks, but save your money and go elsewhere. I've had better food from a drive thru.

Staff is horrible and when you order online they do not look at the order correctly and always have my food delivered incorrectly. Then in order to have my correct food made I have to go in person to pick it up when originally I ordered my food to be delivered, major inconvenience. The staff talks back to you when your are explaining your frustration. Just horrible no good customer service which is a same cuz I'm a long time customer and have invited family to go eat there. Never again. Hopefully with this experience the restaurant can improve when taking orders online

If we didn't have enough reasons to love this place, here's another. We love the red chilaquiles, the orange juice is delicious. The STAFF is what puts the "cinnamon sprinkle onto top" The gentleman taking our order was very nice and chatty, Evelyn, the kitchen staff is so sweet. The food is good, the coffee too. The staff is my favorite though.

Food is good but small portions, service is ok and the restaurant is clean. Overall the restaurant was ok it was a place I wanted to check out but probably wouldn't go back just wasn't for me. Try it out you may like it better than me.

Wasn't what I expected this is a place I'd go for drinks not food. $50 for two price was for breakfast

This is the second time coming to this restaurant. And let me tell you, every trip to LA I will be making a visit. The vibes are perfect if you are into Dia de los Muertos. Or good Mexican food! The food is amazing. I'm from Texas so I get good Mexican food there, so having found a place that has the same great food and quality is really refreshing. The staff are always kind and super helpful. As well as attentive. We got the banana foster waffle, breakfast torta, abuelitas latte and cajeta latte. I will be back in October for my yearly Halloween trip!

The staff here is really nice and helpful. Most of the seating is outside on the patio but there is some indoor seating. We sat on the patio and it was nice with the space heaters on, but on a Sunday morning there were a lot of loud, souped up vehicles going down the street so that wasn't pleasant. The cafe de olla was really good, but I can't give the green Chilaquiles a good rating. Even when I received the plate, most of the chips were soggy. My over medium eggs were cooked well, but I didn't eat much of the chips because they were mostly soggy. The flavor was good though. Seems like a popular place, the line was out the door by the time we left. My friends and I wished they offered some lower carb options like omelets.

Second time here: quick service, food was yummy didn't feel heavy or overly seasoned. clean environment

Friends recommended Cafe Cultura for their breakfast burritos, which we decided to try out on Mother's Day. What a pleasant surprise, this place is delicious!! We can wait to go back for lunch. We got the horchata latte (YUM) and a chai latte. I prefer my chai very spicy, theirs is very mild. For Bfast I got the chilaquiles with red sauce which was so delicious, I could I eat it everyday! I want to try the green sauce next time. We also tried the churro pancakes, which were just an excellent regular fluffy pancake rolled in cinnamon and sugar but for some reason that simple change made them so so so good. Topped with whipped cream and berries. We sat outside in the shade and really enjoyed everything we ate. They also brought my toddler some fruit to snack on while we waited for our food, so kind!

Simply too busy and not enough staff. They have you pay and tip prior to their service... 1) Table was dirty. We asked to have the table cleaned before we sat (as it hadn't yet been cleaned) and it was quickly wiped down, but all the stickiness residue from the morning syrup and catchup was left 2) Poor service: We were a group of 7 and they were out of water after two cups at the selfserve station. We didn't get more water until we were well done with our food. 3) We went for my birthday and my 26 year old let them know this when she ordered. She wanted to have this be a surprise, but despite her best efforts to delay us from leaving and her reminding them, they never brought out whatever desert or treat they were going to bring out. We had already sat there talking for nearly 20 minutes after our meal... waiting for water. Very disappointed. Food was decent. Denny's pancakes are better...

The food is great. The customer service needs a little more sparkle meaning more friendlier like more of a hello or welcome. It's a bit dry in the atmosphere, but it can be a great place and has alot of potential.

This brunch spot is super homey and laid-back. They take your order and give you an order number; then, you can sit wherever you please. We tried the Churro Waffle, which was fantastic. The waffle was soft but not soggy, and the syrup was not exaggeratedly topped on the waffles; the amount of strawberries was generous. The Chipotle Steak Quesadilla was also phenomenal and contained a good quality amount of meat and cooked to perfection. The El Famoso Breakfast Burrito was outstanding; it had eggs, bacon, cheese, and hashbrowns, and all were cooked perfectly; you could taste the crunchiness of the bacon in every bite. The staff were attentive and helpful and tried to clean up as customers went, which was excellent.

Came here early Saturday morning for brunch. Not too crowded and you order up front and get a number. I tried out a the coffee here and it was refreshing. The cafe de olla is served black but had the flavors. Also tried the cold brew de olla which is the same but cold. Both were good and I enjoyed them not being too sweetened. In terms of food I got these. El Famoso Breakfast Burrito - A pretty standard breakfast burrito. It was good, I wish it came with more salsa on the side for the chips and burrito though. Overall solid choice. (4/5) Pan Dulce French Toast - If you enjoy sweets for breakfast this is a must get. Flavors were unique yet comforting. Texture was soft and the extra fruits took it to the top. (5/5) Overall a solid brunch/breakfast spot for those in Azusa. Parking is shared with cvs and there are plenty of spots.

Everything was absolutely delicious! We had the green chilaquiles AND the dulce the leche French toast!! Yuuuuummmmmmy!

I visited today with some friends, and I can honestly say the service was exceptional. We all ordered separately and expected our food to arrive at different times. I received my meal first, followed shortly by the other two plates. However, noticing that I was waiting for the group to be served, a staff member proactively brought out a fresh plate of chilaquiles for me. This demonstrates their genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. We loved the area, the patio was very friendly and inviting.

If i could give this Azusa hot spot more stars, i would simply for their unmatched chilaquiles breakfast burrito. Look, I'm a breakfast burrito whore and tried more than I'd like to admit. However, this is a top 3 for me. Add that chorizo for a true trip to flavortown. Put it all down with a horchata latte, and you, my friend, have yourself a hellava start to the morning. Will travel from Pasadena for this bad boy!

I've heard so many great things about Cafe Cultura so I really wanted to like it. Honestly, I wasn't too impressed. I ordered an abuelita's latte (one of their popular drinks). It honestly just tasted like a normal iced cup of abuelitas hot chocolate. There wasn't much coffee in there at all and it definitely did not give me the burst of energy I was looking for. If you're looking for some caffeine, this drink is not for you. Especially, for the price. I also got the Verde Steak Torta to eat and wasn't too impressed by that either. The steak was over cooked and squishy and the cheese barely has any flavor. I didn't even taste any verde salsa in the sandwich. There was barely any salsa/pico de gallo on my chips so I asked for more. The girl kindly brought it over which I appreciated. Overall, I was underwhelmed. The service however was great! The girls behind the counter were ready to serve us. They were helpful with their recommendations and were quick to bring out our food. They had a lot of open space but were still very quick to clean tables and food left behind. The restaurant itself has a very cute vibe to it. It's definitely instagrammable and looks great in pictures. Parking is little hard to find in this area so expect to park at a meter:

First time visitor after allowing the Yelp, " Surprise me" wheel to discus where my family and I were going to have Sunday breakfast. The restaurant is located at the corner of Azusa Abe and Foothill Blvd. A very busy intersection. My first impression of the exterior and interior was WOW! Very cool. The colors used throughout the restaurant, the many decorations and the overall positive vibes make this restaurant a, " feel good" and worthwhile visit. When it was time to place our food orders, we approached the counter and were met by a very friendly and welcoming female employee. We placed our order, sat at a table in the covered patio and within ten minutes, our plates of food were delivered to our table. Everything we ordered was so appealing to the eye and after a single taste, I knew we had a winner. We had green chile chilaquiles, banana foster waffles and tres leches hotcakes. I am definitely a big time food lover and everything we had was EXCELLENT!! Everything was cooked to perfection, fresh and very tasty. Prices were very affordable & portion sizes were just right making this a very popular destination as evidenced by the lines of people in line waiting to order and every table was occupied. This was definitely a positive dining experience
