Reu Café

I came here to try the coffee. Service is great and there’s plenty of indoor seating. The Reu Latte is perfect (I ordered it without cinnamon). I like that they offer a small size. Everyone in my group enjoyed their drinks and food.

Well they definitely have a "SLEEPY" start. Opens till 8, by then the local school started. Clerk/barista was definitely not feeling it. We did not get greeted. Matcha did not taste like matcha. It had a nice color to it but taste was way off. My daughter ordered LG and got smaller size. We walked back in after tasting and mixing. Had to add sugar and creamer to have some kind of taste. Music was also depressing. Glad I didn't order food like initially had planned.

I was plenty surprised find a GUATEMALAN CAFÉ. Som of the highlights Guatemalan fresh roasted coffee and authentic food, antojitos (apitizers). I loved their REU LATTEE (all coffee products are expresso based) with condensed milk. The real treat is their local roaster supplies Guatemalan coffee beans. ADELANTE 👏🏼

I’m so excited to have found a cozy café just a short walk away where I can sip on my favorite matcha while getting some work done or diving into a good book! I’m always on the lookout for a great third place, and this spot is just what I needed. The food is delicious, and the matcha is absolutely perfect!

Great, new, Guatemalan cafe serving food and drinks. Their breakfast plates were really good and reasonably priced ($9-13~). I got their Guate Latte with oat milk and it was delicious. I would definitely come back! Only downside is that it is a small space (it got full quickly). Oh, and there's nothing on the menu that is caffeine free (at least that I saw).

Food was so great. If you central American it will remind you of home and moms cooking. Also they got good coffee.

Cute cafe! Delicious coffee options, I went to grab a coffee before work and the cloud foam was blue and made with spirulina, and I was in love with my drink. Not only was it pretty but so good. Loved the coffee!

My sisters and I shared the chuchito and the breakfast chapin. And it was amazing! It brought me back to family back him in Guatemala. I ordered the quetzal which was a matcha and it was delicious. For people who enjoy lighter tasting matcha I would recommend this drink. I will definitely be coming back again.

I absolutely love Reu Café it's a cozy Guatemalan-based spot that honestly feels like a little hidden gem Their blue cold foam coffee is so beautiful and tastes just as good as it looks Whether you're craving breakfast, lunch, or dinner, everything on their menu hits their plates are full of flavor, and they even have great lunch specials! I love coming here when I get a little time to myself either to catch up on work or just enjoy a quiet moment. It does get busy in the mornings, but the evenings are perfect for relaxing and enjoying your coffee in peace

Let's start off with customer service, I was greeted by a woman on the left side of the counter was putting out the drinks , but as I approach the counter, waiting to be greeted two women were laughing at basically had to interrupt and say good morning so that I can ask to have my order taken I came here thinking for a Sunday that I might be able to get a little reading done and some tablet work. I do know that they sell food, but it was incredibly loud. There's a certain crowd that comes in and is pretty loud so you can't even hear yourself think I first proceeded to get a chair on the far left side because it was sectioned off, but placing my stuff down and sitting there, I noticed that the entire establishment smelled like a dirty restroom like old wet rags the smell alone was a big turn off and then I noticed how dirty the actual walls were The drink itself was about 550. Nothing special plastic cups with a blue top. It was pretty good. I would give it a 3.5 out of five nothing special, but not bad either. Customer service 1/5 Price 4/5 5.50 not bad for 12 oz Location 4:/5 (parking lot is small Noise -1/5 so loud , def not a cage to sit and enjoy company , have a conversation or read Smell -5/5 change your mop water Cleanliness 1/5 dirty walls , dirty tables Will not return...

Great customer service very polite and friendly staff Delicious food My chuchitos tasted great The garnachas delicious My Reu latte made my day great ambiance nice cozy restaurant

I came here based of tik tok recommendation, my review is now based off my second time here. To start the place is very plain. I think for a Guatemalan inspired cafe it is very lackluster. They could use so much color and inspiration from Guatemalan roots. The menu was decent, for a small cafe/menu wait time is quite long. Prices moderately pricey. It's a good place to wind down for a bit but does get quite loud so I wouldn't come for a homework or work from home day. I wouldn't try it again to see if things have changed.

This place had been on my list to try since it first opened but it's a drive from where I live so when I was in the area I finally decided to give it a try. When I arrived it was very full, you could tell that a lot of the customers were returning customers. I was there for about an hour and people kept coming in. I ordered an iced Reu latte and an order of tostadas. The tostadas were delicious. And they were ready very quickly. The decor was very subtle but nice. They hav paintings of Guatemala and it's beautiful to get reminders of Guatemala.

Such a great experience at REU Café! The staff was very, very inviting and made me feel welcome right away. I tried the "El Quetzal" and the "Reu Latte"both were delicious, but if I had to pick, the El Quetzal was my favorite! I loved the blue cold foam, it was so unique and tasty. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to!

I really enjoy seeing new cafes popping up. The fact this is Guatemala inspired coffee even better. They have coffees, lates, small bites and full plates. We ordered two to share between 4 adults and it was plenty. Parking is enough but can be chaotic as there are several business in the plaza. Coffees are delicious. Staff is helpful and attentive. You can go solo or with a group.

¡Mucha! The moment my cousin and I heard this new Guatemalan spot had popped up in his 'hood, we made plans to visit immediately (and we're so glad we did!). Not only is the food classic and delicious, the space feels like an original and welcomed take on "Chapin" vibes. Being that I am health conscious and working on some fitness goals currently, I was delighted to see the nutritious bagel options on the menu. My perfectly prepared egg + avocado selection and American coffee were an amazing way to start my day! I cannot wait to see the places Reu is headed.

I really wanted to like this place. I've been here three times since it opened. The first two times were just for coffee, and both times we had a noticeably rude cashier who wore glasses. I decided to give it another chance and came back for breakfast alone. This morning sealed it. While waiting to order, the woman in front of me invited her whole group to order after she paid. The cashier said nothing, just let it happen. As someone who's worked at a cafe before, these things happen but an apology or explanation is typically warranted to the customer. I spent $25 including tip for what turned out to be a measly plate of food. The latte once again tasted like milk with a trace of espresso. When I told the barista, the one with glasses, that it tasted like milk, she actually tried to explain to me what a latte is, as if I haven't been buying and/or making them for nearly twenty years. For the record, a standard latte has a double shot of espresso with about a 1:3 ratio to steamed milk, maybe 1:4 if you prefer it lighter. It should taste like coffee, not milk. Someone eventually added an extra shot for me, but the whole exchange left a bad taste. Between the lack of basic customer service, the sugary, weak drinks, and the skimpy portions, I won't be giving this place more chances.

This Cafe Is Small, but super cute. When we walked in this morning around 10 there restaurant was full, and everyone eating looking soo happy I struggled with what to order because everything looked soo good. I ordered the Guate Latte with Blue Cold Foam, it was delicious and sweet and very balanced, it had just the right amount of cinnamon. Did food I ordered the Tamale, it was sooo delicious . It was creamy rice based and the chicken and sauce was sooo good, it even came with bread. The workers were 100% a vibe and they answered the questions I had about the menu and gave me a few suggestions , I will be back soon for sure My Friend got the Shucu, and it was very good and filling He enjoyed his Rey Iced Latte

As much as I wanted to like this place it was just OK. My husband is Guatemalan(Born and raised there) and I like to try different food but this was just a complete miss in Presentation, Taste and not very authentic from other places I've tasted. As we enter there are only a few tables to sit and it was pretty full for a Sunday Morning we were Able to get a small table but the bottom leg was very wobbly so every time we tried to get food our table would wiggle. The ambiance was loud cause there were some families just lingering around and a bunch of kids running around. When our food came out we were slightly disappointed with the presentation of the Tamal the texture was just off and there was no flavor to it whatsoever (we did not finish it) Rate: 2/10 Their Chuchito was simply ok but nothing special about them honestly, the sauce filling was overwhelming and just a small piece of the chicken filling and that was it if the sauce would have had a better flavor it would be a bad bite but was very meh. Rate 3/10 One of our Favorite things was the Breakfast Chapin: came with four choice of eggs, black beans, plantains and cheese and sour crème it was flavorful and had great taste (you can get the Gordita looking tortillas or Bread with the order) we enjoyed this plate I'll give it a 7/10 We also tried the Guate Latte and that had good flavor Overall Experience was OK would I go back, Not really cause it wasn't authentic and I've tasted better. They had this Green Salsa but I wasn't able to get my hands on it cause they only had a few going around maybe that would have given it somewhat of flavor. It was a bit too loud for my liking and was a bit overwhelming cause the place is small. I love the simplicity of the place the art work and all but as I cleaned my table for the next person and threw trash out I did notice a lot of food was being thrown out that wasn't even bit into so that told me a lot a lot of food was being thrown out. Also parking was a bit full as the shopping center it's at can get full as well.

They've only been open for 2 weeks now. This place gets crowded fast and very easily. Because of the amount of foot traffic, it can be hard to find a table to sit at. The layout of this place is geared towards a coffee shop rather than a sit down restaurant. I ordered the Blue Cloud, Reu Latte, Breakfast Chapin and the Waffles + Eggs. I asked my eggs for the Breakfast Chapin to be Sunnyside up. One egg was just that and the second egg stayed on the stove a little bit longer than it should have. The Blue Cloud wasn't sweet, but it also didn't have a strong coffee taste to it. It was certainly missing an element to it. My partner had the Waffles + Eggs and substituted the strawberries and bananas for their plantains. I wasn't overly impressed at the plantains. I enjoyed my bread. The black beans were SO good. And the fresh cheese on the side was a nice salty item to have. As I look back on my photos, I feel like this plate should've been no more than $9. 2 eggs, black beans, bread, plantains, slice of fresh cheese... yeah definitely not worth $12.75. I could easily make this at home. But I was hoping by ordering it from a restaurant that it would have something extra that couldn't be recreated at home... my order didn't prove that. I also noticed from previous photos submitted by other Yelp reviewers that the serving sizes between the cheese and beans were not evenly proportional to every served plate. If they could find an equal balance of cheese and beans I think that would only be fair for the customer. I would've enjoyed and equal amount of cheese to beans on my plate. Service was friendly. They didn't provide the utensils for our order. You pick up your own food at the counter. I didn't find any napkins on any tables. The hot sauces were limited and on the counter were you pick up your food. The Waffles didn't come with any syrup or butter. We had to ask for it at the counter. The wait time to get your food was a little bit longer than I feel it should've been. They certainly have some minor kinks to work on as a new business. The "Waffles" was really just ONE single waffle divided into 4 small pieces, 2 eggs, 3 small plantains = $12.75. Another menu item I could recreate at home for less than $7 that didn't prove to be anything special. Congrats on a adding a new restaurant showcasing the diversity of options to choose from, but you won't find me coming back here. Our friend had their tamale and it was good.

This place is in a nice little plaza with plenty of parking. The staff was friendly and kind. gave good suggestions and helped with any questions we had about the menu. I came here with a few friends for breakfast. Not too many other people were there. The inside is nice bright and clean. Lots of seating as well! We all got different things to try I got the shucos with a matcha latte w spirulina foam. my friends got mixtas and tamales. The food and drinks came out pretty quick and everything smelled delicious. the matcha was gooood. i love matcha and have become quite picky with it, but the matcha was perfectly creamy, umami flavor and the spirulina gave it the perfect amount of sweetness. the shuco was made of turkey meat and the buns had been toasted with avocado, and had toppings of cabbage slaw, mayo, ketchup and mustard. I realllly liked it! it wasn't too heavy and the flavors were great. My friends also enjoyed their food and had good things to say about their coffee and tamales. All in all a great place to try authentic Guatemalan food! I will definitely be coming again to try their other menu items.

Visited with a friend on the weekend, found street parking and also has parking lot however shared with other businesses. You order and sit and you pick up your food once it's ready, customer service was good, staff is friendly and recommended what is good. I got quetzl matcha, I liked that it had matcha taste and didn't just taste like milk and sweetener. The Chuchito was good just that mine had bones in it so could be a safety hazard if not careful. Would like to try other things. I would give 8/10.

First time here, came to try their matcha and tamales based on reviews. Personally I didn't like the drinks i ordered, first sip taste just like milk. Took a few more sips and the matcha flavor was not there. I do prefer my drinks less sweet but I could not taste the agave at all.

Loved this cafe! I think for 13 dollars you get a really hearty breakfast with the breakfast chapin. The cafe was clean and I liked the simple decorations. We she's good coffee too! Would definitely come again. My one note is that I would like if the interior had more color and personality it. The white interior was nice, but it felt a bit sterile. I would love to feel the liveliness of Guate upon entering!

Visited Reu Cafe for the first time and had such an awesome experience! I don't believe there are any Guatemalan coffee shops in the area. Staff are friendly and my Guate-Latte was delicious. I felt snackish but came too late in the afternoon so I wasn't able to snag a pastry before it sold out. However, I was impressed by the yummy looking food options available. I decided I'll save it for my next visit, which I'm sure will be soon!

The pumpkin spice latte was delicious along with the waffles! Definitely stuffed my stomach. Although would not recommend the hot chocolate but hey! It's up to one's own taste

The staff was super friendly and helpful, the food was amazing. I tried the pepian, garnachas, breakfast chapin, caldo de gallina. Tortillas are handmade and fresh. Coffee is good, if you like it strong and less sweet just ask for an extra shot. I've been here 4x and I'm going to keep coming back.

Food is very delicious and authentic Guatemalan, Ambience is super chill, nice low music in the background where you can still hear your conversation. The service was amazing!! Very kind and polite, they seem to take their time to make things right. Also, very patience while we were trying to figured out what we wanted. Coffee was delicious, I normally don't like sweet coffee so I had to ask for half the sweetness. Definitely a come back coffee shop.

Friendly service. Delicious and affordable coffee choices. The guate lattes are perfectly sweetened (not too sweet & therefore no need for adjustments). The taste of all the food was "casero," homemade. Fresh, clean, and the meat used in the soup is high quality. Highly recommend for a solo or family outing, especially on the weekends, for their specials.

Got breakfast Chapin, tostadas, shucos, Reu latte, and Guate Latte. Absolutely amazing!! I would go everyday if I could Also, they are very very friendly and love the vibe!

Order: Guate latte, platanos fritos (included a big bread not shown in the pic) Wait time: ~25 mins around 10:30 am Piece: ~$15 This is a new Guatemalan cafe so I understand being busy. The coffee I got was good but I prefer something with that strong coffee kick. It was on the sweeter side. But still good. The fooood: amazing. Best platanos I've had ! Definitely try that! If you're looking to study beer tho.. nope haha. It gets crowded and ppl will be waiting beside you etc. The workers were veryyy nice and helpful. I will be back

Feels like I'm in motherland Reu cafe has friendly service and omg- El Quetzal, please do yourself a favor and get it! Their blue cream top is delicious, a perfectly sweetened matcha with their house agave. Please also try their guate latte, soo good. I'll be definitely coming back!

Best place for a great family meal... amazing flavor... amazing service... home style food that takes you back to your roots... I missed this flavor until I found @reucafe you MUST try For wife the pepian hit the spot, my son love the tostada trio and the ambiance on this place is so calm and relaxing can't ask for anything better than this

This place is Amazing I wish I could add 5 more starts to it!! If you looking for real home made food with flavor, you have to come and try it,, the breakfast chapin the best... the tamales or so gooooooooood the shukos are the bomb.... Guate late must have.... Service wise... can't complain... it just the right place for breakfast lunch and dinner wish they were 24/7...golden start for this place...

Muy lindo lugar y las personas muy amables y serviciales Comida con sabor y porciones muy acordes

This place has a special place in my heart even before I became a customer. My father, who passed away in 2023, was from Retalhuleu. And this coffee shop is named after this area of Guatemala. The food was delicious. It's practically homemade and everything tasted like something my mom or my Tia/Tio would make. The inside needs a little more decor but it's coming along. I'm definitely coming back.

Came here on easter Sunday to check this place out, pretty far location from me but I love supporting family and Guatemalan owned businesses. I saw they were opened until 6 pm for the holiday and decided to make the drive. I'll be frank, although I was going to support, I had really high hopes but I was left underwhelmed. When I arrived parking seemed small and odd which is understandable bc it's located in a strip mall. Once inside, the layout felt kind of awkward. Very simple and minimalist which is fine but I couldn't understand the vibe for the cafe since it did gave off fast food self service restaurant rather than coffee shop, in my opinion. The interior reminded me of a blank space with some portraits of guatemala and some plants and that's it. It was very confusing but there was nothing special, sadly, I didn't feel comfortable. HOWEVER I decided to stay since I had made that drive to try their food and coffee. I opted for the quetzal latte but then changed to the Guate latte because I was skeptical about the sweetness level of the quetzal since essentially it was a matcha iced latte topped with a blue colored cold foam, from what I understood from the menu. I like sweet but that sounded too sweet for me. Coffee was ok but a little too sweet to my liking (as I had already suspected) I couldn't finish it. It tasted like pure horchata which was ok but personally I wanted a coffee taste not a sugar rush. I regret not ordering espresso shots on the side to do so, so that's my fault. They don't serve anything else beside orange juice, that's not naturally pressed but instead bought and resold, which is understandable. For food items I got the "desayuno chapin" which consisted of beans, plantains, cheese, cream, and eggs (with a side choice of tortillas or bread). The plaintains, beans, and crema were good... nothing too crazy. I was asked if I wanted my eggs done a certain way and I decided to get scramble, I asked if they would come simple or with tomato/onion/salsa and the girl said yes it was a choice I could make so I chose to get it with the tomato... I was underwhelmed because I could've done this at home. I also ordered a plate of garnachas(6) which were OK but I felt that the tortillas were a little too thick and raw in the middle for me. Other than that the escabache and meat were great! I think they used shredded/ground beef which was seasoned to perfection, including their homemade sauce that they added on top! But what threw me off was the chewiness of the tortilla/masa of the garnachas. Now overall, after coming here and experiencing it for myself after finding this "cute" little cafe on tiktok I can say that they have friendly service without a doubt, but I don't think it's worth making a drive to this cafe located in the city of hawthorne. If I were in the area, which I'm usually not, I probably would stop by but overall I won't be recommending this place to anyone from weho/koreatown/midcity/dtla area since it is pretty far for them. I would probably recommend somewhere closer to them to avoid that drive. I wouldn't steer off any customers as well in fact I would encourage them to come support! In conclusion, is it worth the drive... no. Should someone try them out... absolutely but don't say I didn't warn you lol.

First time having Guatemalan food and it was all so good. Place was super cozy, and we also got the reu latte and the el quetzal which was matcha with blue cold foam. Will definitely come back!

Straight up this is a good spot for some coffee and grub. Even though we did not order food other customers did and it looked really good. The staff was super friendly and open to answering questions. It's rather loud inside when full especially at lunch time obviously, so keep they in mind if you prefer a quiet spot. Otherwise, just suck it up and drink you're coffee lol. I had the iced blue cloud, americano with vanilla and cold foam good choice and my wife had the iced Reu latte, also good but I'd choose the blue cloud if I were you between these two choices. Parking can be a premium so be prepared to not find parking or maybe park in the neighborhood behind the store. Good local spot to experience something new. Enjoy...

I liked the food, but it was very overpriced. I feel like most Guatemalan restaurants are like that which is why I rarely go to them. Kind of sucks because I'm Guatemalan and i enjoy our food but i cant justify 3 tostadas for 8.25. That's ridiculous. One has beans the other salsa and one with guac. They were good but i make that at home when I'm too lazy to make a actual lunch/dinner. The Garnachas were $15 and were very small. Like come on...i can go to other places and get a fat burrito and drink for that. I'll be coming one more time to try a tamal and a drink but that will most likely be my last time because its too expensive. I forgot to mention...it was very packed inside but we were able to get a table. I'm glad they're doing well right now, so hopefully they can keep it up. I have no complaints about how things tasted just the price.

Came on opening day with my husband. Love the modern look of this cafe. We loved the food and the drinks. Everything was so delicious love supporting small local businesses. Especially Latino businesses. Great and friendly service.

I've had the Reu latte about the Guate latte, and they're both 10/10! Good coffee, not overly sweet, loved their balanced flavors New favorite coffee shop! Need to try the food next time. Staff is incredibly helpful and very nice.

Found this cafe on Instagram and it did not disappoint! It's very hard to find authentic Guatemalan food especially in LA but I am happy I came here with my boyfriend the mixtas and shucos I would highly recommend it's packed with so much flavor and the wait time is not long. I ordered and only had to wait less than 10 minutes overall I will definitely be coming back again

From the moment I walked in, the warm, welcoming atmosphere set the tone for an amazing experience. The menu offers a perfect mix of traditional dishes packed with flavor and made with love. I ordered the Chapin breakfast and chuchito I was blown away by how perfectly seasoned and hearty it was. The chuchitos were very nice and moist. But the real standout? The Reu Latte. Rich, smooth, and aromatic--it was easily one of the best cups I've had in a long time. Whether you're a coffee lover or not, you need to try it. Service was friendly and attentive, and it felt like everyone truly cared that we were enjoying our meal. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes

personally did not enjoy the food, my family and I ordered the chapin breakfast and my bread was hard, the plantains were hard and not sweet. Also ordered the garnachas and they had no flavor. The drinks took a little longer to come out and I ordered the quetzal latte which was alright, did not really taste the matcha flavor mostly milk. The staff was friendly though but I personally would not go back for the food and drinks :(

Calling all guatemaltecos the food is so amazing here literally 10/10 for everything we had here. The staff is so friendly here would absolutely recommend this to anyone the food and ambiance is amazing ! If you love Guatemalan food or want to try it please come support your local businesses!!

This place just opened up and decided to stop by to try their matcha,I heard it was their second day open the day I visited and expected a crowd,as expected it was crowded inside with limited seating as it's a small shop.I tried their El quetzal drink which is matcha with blue spirulina foam.The drink was mastered amazinglyyy with the matcha being a dark green and tasted just as good as it looked! The only reason I give this place four stars is because the drink did take a while to come out but they are new and were very busy and were trying to get sorted :)

Ordered the chuchitos and they were SO good!! The staff is super friendly and helpful.

Authentic Guatemalan food. The food was delicious and the Hazelnut Latte was amazing!

Good place for Guatemalan food and a great place for coffee. I highly recommend this coffee shop

The location is very clean. The staff is super friendly. Of course the food is delicious! Super happy as a Guatemalan to see this in the city. The only downside which has nothing to do with the shop would be the parking. I was lucky to find a spot, but the parking spots are very small, compact. Other than that, I am very excited to go back.

One of the best coffee shop matchas I have ever had. Food was good and came quickly. A very clean look and feel. The minimalist design is still cozy and fun. The team was on top of it even as the crowd ramped up.

Including my first time trying Reu, I've been here three times in the last two weeks! El Quetzal was fire and the Chuchitos make me think of eating them out in Coatepeque as a kid. I think you can feel the pride of the people working there - and the quality shows. Looking forward to coming back!

I visited Reu Café this weekend TWICE! Once on Saturday with my cousin and the second with my mother and brother for our Mother's Day celebration. We loved it! The authentic Guatemalan food was delicious and flavorful. The weekend specials of Caldo de Pollo and Pepian were so good, I hope to see a revolving door of weekend specials in the future! The Tostadas were perfect and they left me wanting more. My favorite delicacy were the Chuchitos! They were a healthy portion and the flavor was so good! The generous amount of recado inside the chuchito was perfect. The service was fantastic with a quick ordering process and timely delivery, even with a full house. The staff is so friendly and just happy to represent the culture to all us natives and those exploring Guatemalan cuisine, a very welcoming ambiance. I think I speak for all my family when I say we are excited to see Reu Café grow and be a successful staple in Hawthorne. They have started on the right foot and have so much to grow and offer the community. Proud of my fellow Chapines for bringing us much needed representation!

The food here is everything I've come to expect of Guatamalen food. I tried the Mixtas and the sausage and the tortilla soaked up all the flavors inside. Highly recommend, especially given how rare it is to find a Guatamalen cafe in the area.

I went here today with high hopes! But unfortunately I was disappointed. I ordered 3 coffees. Iced lattes. All of them tasted like milk. What a waste of $20 I was very disappointed. Not to mention they have elevator music playing in the cafe. I would've expected something more upbeat. Also they barely opened and yet it was a bit dirty for examples the floors and the walls. The service was good I'll admit that.

Love it! It's hard to find a good Guatemalan restaurant and this one is good with a vibe. I got the Chapin Breakfast and it was delicious. Plantains were cooked perfectly (I'm picky about that), queso, crema, beans . El pan pirujo esta suavecito tambien, me encanto. The coffee was good too. I also love the wall art That's all special landmarks in Guatemala.
