Café Tropical

A gem in our city. Fresh ingredients making delicious meals and treats, this pancake changed my brain chemistry crispy edges, soft center, and I crosscut for ultimate maple syrup absorption. Do not miss! 100/10 Coffee is also amazing, best drip in town.

This is a wonderful establishment with great service, a unique ambience, and an environment that seems to bring together community. I stopped in on a Thursday morning at 9:30am to pick up an iced coffee and a chilaquiles burrito for my husband. Not having had my coffee yet, I forgot to request no crema and no cheese. Oops. 😅 So I went to the counter to order another chilaquiles burrito, and the service member asked if it was to replace the first one. I said yes and admitted to making a mistake on the order. Without me even asking, they offered to give me a 50% discount which I very much appreciated. Great spot and I’d be delighted to return! Highly recommend :)

The best coffee shop in Los Angeles, hands-down. The pastries are amazing. Some of the best in the city. The coffee is tasty. Vibes are perfect. They also do a lot of outreach to the community to help support people in need. Come and support them. I’m headed there right now!

I have been meaning to try this place for a while and I am glad I finally did. The breakfast sandwich is all about the Cuban bread. It was so incredibly soft and almost melts in your mouth. I also liked the way they incorporate the bacon into the egg which was unique. The guava pastry was good and you can really tell how fresh the guava jam is. The orange juice tasted like it had a hint of something other than oranges and sugar, maybe tangerine. If you are in the area it is definitely worth a try.

Café Tropical is a great local spot for classic Cuban comfort food and strong coffee. The sandwiches are flavorful, portions are solid, and service is quick. Perfect for breakfast or lunch. It can get busy, but it's worth the stop.
