Zenaida's café

Beautiful quaint little neighborhood cafe with a garden vibe. Run by a super kind and sweet lady who puts a lot of thought into healthy ingredients. Everything is so fresh. The food is delicious. I also love their juices. They do serve coffee which is also solid.

I loved the Tortas here. They were sooooo good. I am vegetarian and they were able to modify the torta to suit my needs. They also have SOOOO many fresh juices. We tried the watermelon juice and it was amazing.

What a magical place. The vegetarian torta was the best one I’ve ever had! Sometimes torta bread tastes dry and cheap but this one was so fresh with a chewy crunchy crust and soft insides. All of the smoothie ingredients are fresh, natural and high quality- they use the same brands I do at home instead of sugary fake fillers. And Zenaida herself is a total gem, so welcoming and warm with awesome stories. An absolute treat of a place.

Beautiful café, with great food and an awesome owner. The atmosphere made me feel like I was eating breakfast at my mom's house. ♥️ 10/10 will definitely be coming back again!

This place is really cute. It's all about tortas and I got myself the chorizo one. The owner recommended it and it was delicious. The bread was perfect.

I rally enjoy my breakfast chorizo sandwich! It is a lovely spot with the greatest ambiance, but mostly great people working here!

Great little cafe, one of the few spots in the area that has lots of green (plants) and outdoor seating. Everything made fresh right when I ordered it. Tasted 😗👌🏽. Owner was friendly and even offered to take a picture of me when she saw me taking pics. Mango smoothie was so good. Would go back.

such a cute hidden gem. small cafe with fresh ingredients and a fair price. outdoor seats with a ton of plants, hummingbirds, and butterflies around. Lovely employees and a unique spot - absolutely great for a lunch. Agua frescas freshly made - enjoyed a watermelon one for $5 and it was a 32 oz. Got a tuna torta and all veggies crispy and fresh, tuna was made to order. Soooo good! Bread was excellent and light. Would def come again.

Awesome little cafe that's locally owned. Their tuna torta was excellent. I could tell they freshly mixed the tuna and the assembly was neat, veggies super fresh ($11). The toasted bread was so light and delicious. Got a watermelon agua Fresca and they freshly made it too. So good and worth the $5. It's a cute homey space with a ton of hummingbirds flying around the feeder, butterflies, and plants outside. Love it and definitely will be back!

The plants are what got me here the food, service, plants, agua fresca, and good vibes are what's going to bring me back. I found this place on yelp and wanted to check it out . It's not easy to find a nice place to eat outside around here and this little cafe has made this little corner inviting and relaxing to sit and enjoy your lunch. I had the chicken pita it was good and really big it came with sliced oranges with Tajín, the perfect side. I had the pineapple agua fresca it was very refreshing. The lady that helped me was so friendly and helpful. I will definitely come back and recommend it if you're in the area.

Cutest little cafe with a really sweet owner/employee. My friend and I split the chorizo egg torta and it was the perfect size, super tasty and perfectly balanced. The place itself is adorable with a nice space to eat outside. 5/5 coming back every weekend.

I love this little paradise. Took my friends amd we tried the "tortas de chorizo" OMG they were amazing. The lady attending the busines is really nice, I mena really nice , atmosphere is just so relaxing surrounded by beautiful plants. Highly recommended

Cute little spot in the corner with nice ambiance and decoration. Also had the tres en uno juice, taste natural and fresh! The owner is really sweet and really cares about a good food a good service!

I got a Soyrizo Torta. Sooo good, came here to try bc my usual spot closed down and I wasn't disappointed. The owner is very nice and they're open early! I haven't tried everything yet but the prices are good and the food was even better, you bet I'll be back for more. Definitely give this place a try if you pass by.

I forgot to update about the ginger ale -it was delicious. And it was a warm weekend so it was perfect. If she still stocks it, def a good drink with her sandwiches on a warm day.

If I could give 10 stars I would! We had the milanesa torta, the açaí bowl and the green juice. The torta was not over or under seasoned, it came with fresh veggies that complemented the bread and meat. The torta also came with slices or orange on the side topped with Tajín. The açaí bowl had various textures and flavors that blended well together such as the flakes of coconut and fresh banana along with crunchy granola. The green juice was not too sweet which is our favorite kind of juice...we could actually taste the ingredients of the greens. The owner was also very sweet and took her time to talk to us. We sat outside in the beautiful 77 degree weather enjoying the plants and jazz music playing. If I could come here everyday I would!

Found Zenaida's while attending my son's graduation in LA. The food was excellent and the service was wonderful. Fun experience for all! My sister bought plants to remember the cafe!

Found this cafe and went with my family for lunch. The food was good, we got 2 tortas de milanesa and one tuna bagel. We also got 2 coffees and a shake. I really like the ambience and the staff were really friendly. Service was nice. :) I would come back for a yummy sandwhich.

We went to Zenaida's for the first time this week, and it was so enjoyable. It has such a nice, low key, neighborhood feel to it, and is surrounded by plants like a little oasis in the city. The owner was so friendly, chatting with us while making our sandwiches. I had the soyrizo torta and my husband the turkey sandwich - both delicious. If you wonder how you can make a turkey sandwich exciting - come to Zenaida's! The torta is now one of my new favorite things to eat so we will be coming back. Highly recommend!

I stumbled upon this beautiful cafe, while I got my oil change done. I would honestly go back! I loved the greenery, the Spanish music playing & over all I loved the Hospitality I was greeted with I didn't know what to order since it was my first time there, so i ended up ordering the chorizo torta, & it was DELICIOUS! will deff be going back

Great little local spot. There's one person working and she made everything. I ordered a sandwich and it came with sliced watermelon. It was good. I also ordered a berry smoothie which was also good. The outdoor seating area is cute. A lot of plants and seating for two.

This is a tiny place. I found parking in the residential area. The staff (owners?) Were welcoming. They had a small menu of sandwiches and salads with a wide variety of juices and smoothies. I had the chicken pita wrap. It was more than satisfying and a good portion. I would stop by again when I am in the area.

Great neighborhood spot. Close to USC medical center for hospital visitors. Lady was warm and friendly, and we shared life stories! A filling turkey deli sandwich with all the veggies on toasted ciabatta, and a side of tajin'ed orange slices! Lovely lady, food, and spot.

Food was good for a quick bite. Very nice ladies working the front. There is very little walk space. Store is packed with snacks and beverages.

I am in Los Angeles visiting friends. This morning they both had to go out to work so it was time to fend for myself and find some breakfast. I looked around on the Internet and found this cozy little place and it took me about a half an hour to walk from my friends home, and... It was worth the walk. It's a tiny little place where you go in and a mother and daughter are behind the counter. Mom is cooking and daughter is serving. I had a ham and cheese torta, and it is scrumptious. The two of them couldn't be more welcoming to a stranger, and the outdoor dining on these cute little tables with a nice view, and an even nicer breeze made the morning special. If you get a chance I highly recommend this little gem in East LA.

I grabbed a ham and egg sandwich and it tasted like your moms cooking (I would have added picture of the sandwich but it smelled so tasty that I ate it before taking a pic). Dulce was so super sweet! She packed me the sandwich with a side of oranges w/tajin and a brownie. Definitely check out this place and support your local mom and pop shop. Parking: limited

Loved everything about this place ! And some of the freshest ingredients I've had in a long time

They have great tortas. My favorites are the milanesa and carnitas. Nice vibe at this tiny location.

Gracious friendly service and special attention to our order eccentricities. Great orange juice based smoothies and sandwiches..

I always see this place every-time I am on my way home from work or an errand and always say I will go but never get the chance BUT TODAY I DID its so beautiful outside and very comforting and the food matches that same description the owner is very good at conversation while making the meal you choose and from what it seems mostly everything is organic too ! I tried a sandwich for my first visit and I won't lie it was the best sandwich I have ever had that i can recall. If you want cute and comfortable areas for a breakfast/ brunch with a friend go here for

I cannot emphasize enough how much I love this place it's beautiful outside with all the plants, and so cute inside. The smoothies are delicious and so refreshing, and the woman who owns the place is delightful to be around and so helpful. They have a great selection of canned and bottled drinks, so many snacks, and what looks like delicious sandwiches. I will be back for those bad boys!!

I love this place already! If you want some of the best ham and egg sandwich, this is the spot! I order the ham and egg sandwich and a strawberry banana smoothie. Everything was perfect! Along with a warm welcome! Make sure to stop by!

I cannot say enough good things about this little cafe. Such a warm and welcoming feeling from the moment you enter the door, perfect for the local community. The food is 15/10. Delicious. Authentic. The woman working this morning was so kind to my husband, they conversed and laughed the whole time she made our breakfast. Which was fresh and made right there in front of us. The overall experience was just delightful and really made a difference in our day. We will 10000% be back. We ordered the Chorizo and egg torta (insanely good, fresh veggies were amazing) and a ham, egg, and cheese bagel that had cream cheese (also insanely good). Delicious!!!!!!

Dulce is the owner, helpful and friendly. She would make the perfect milansa torta. Always a good place to grab a croissant or muffin with coffee. Plus my chula loves to stop by to say hello and get a treat from Dulles.

This is a must! The food is fresh and so delicious. I wish i had taken a picture but i ate 1/2 on the drive back to my office. The milanesa torta 20/10 - I mean i can't recall the last time i had a torta that good! And the green juice do good and refreshing! I'll be coming back!

Great sandwiches a lot of good options. The owner is super friendly and sweet. Fresh juice is really good and she makes everything custom. It's nice there are a lot of Trader Joe products in here to save you the trip. Beautiful outdoor area with lots of plants.

I checked out Zenaida's one of the first mornings I moved to the area. Got the chorizo and egg breakfast sandwich. It was amazing. Dulce was warm and friendly and I'm looking forward to coming here often.

Looked for a coffee spot this morning and found this on Yelp. A little what one might call a hole on the wall. The nicest lady, great coffee (organic). As reviews recommended, , husband went with the ham breakfast sandwich. He says it's probably the best breakfast sandwich he's had. She says the chorizo breakfast sandwich is their most popular. Will definitely return.

wonderful café. Owner is super friendly and loving food is so good atmosphere amazing.

Delicious ham and egg sandwich, amazing outdoor full with beautiful plants and birds, Dulce is very sweet and humble.

Lovely hidden gem I love it the service was great the food amazing. That iced coffee was so good. It's a family owned business that has been there for years if your looking for something fast & good stop by you will love it

An oasis of good food and good vibes Love it and will come back whenever I'm in the neighborhood!

A quick google search brought me here! Was looking for a quick bite & decided to come here because of the positive reviews. I ordered a turkey and egg bagel and a jugo verde. Amazing!! The woman in the front was super friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back soon. Also, the outdoor seating is a plus (super cute & peaceful).

Bien amable la señora la comida está buena también voy a regresar otra vez. La torta de milanesa es buena

Amazing vibes the food makes you feel at home. So delicious. The owner is so kind and spreads the good vibes

Delicious sandwiches, breakfast burritos, shakes and coffee. I love the attention to detail. The service is always great too. Highly recommended!

Very cute place. Happen to stumble on it. Yes it open even if it may look closed. Coffee, juices, sandwiches are served and also the plants outside are for sale. Dulce is really sweet. I ordered a juice and sandwich. Both very good. The juice is actual juice and not watered down with sweetener. But you can ask her to put sugar in it if you would like. Recommend supporting this local business.

Fantastic, came for lunch, got two sandwiches. Beautiful spot, great service and delicious food. Thank you Isabella!

This is totally a Gem, this place is authentic homemade health alternative from your typical fast food restaurant, their soups taste like your grandmother's soup, their main ingredient is absolutely love. You can tell they put the effort in providing a home cook meal.

Good new place to eat breakfast, lunch or just coffee and a snack, friendly atmosphere and great service by their own owner

Whenever I have money to spend for lunch. I always come to Zenaida Cafe. They make the best tortas and you have to ask to put jalapeños because that makes a true torta. The owner has amazing hospitality and the food is always fresh. You have to check her out and they do online orders from food deliver applications.

You guys have to check out this Cafe ! Friendly service and delicious food - Take Out is available ! We had the Ham and Milanesa torta Thank You Candy for your friendly service and yummy food !

This place is a dream!! The atmosphere is great and the items on the menu are refreshing. You can tell the owner loved what she does!!! I only tried a juice while in the neighborhood but I'm looking forward to stopping by for lunch soon. The sandwiches look amazing and my green juice was delicious

Food was very delicious. Service was amazing and Dulce is such a amazing person,She even gave us recommendations on other good places to eat. Thank you Dulce.
