This place is beautiful and sets a vibe that is much needed in Compton. There is a lot to see, do, and eat so take your time. The artwork on the walls is stunning and you can get lost just looking around and taking pictures. Okay, let's get into it:
GOOD: Ambiance, customer service, speedy delivery of food, the Juice Trap juices, the variety of cultural and culinary options. Yes, they do sell shoes and other merchandise, but they also have space for community events. And while shoes may not be vegan, I appreciate their efforts to build a space for real cooperative economics.
BAD: The menu is expansive (and not very budget friendly) with plenty of options, but can be a bit deceiving. Almost everything has an actual meat name in the titles, but are mostly variations of fried mushrooms. Do Vegans really need to think they are having lobster? At one point I couldn't tell if some of the protein options were actually meat or not, so a little clarity might help. Especially for folks with allergies.
I tried the Cauliflower and Fries. The food was too hot to enjoy for a few minutes and by the time I could eat it, the breading was a bit soggy. I would have liked to also had bigger portions of hot sauce and ketchup.
Overall, I liked the visit and will be back with plenty of questions (and money) to try something else.
