La is that spot where you go and get the not so mainstream. The place is just cool all kinds of weird swag in the doors and cabinets full of things this and that you could pick up why you wait for your table. Then once you get is your table the menu is not the regular two eggs and hash browns, no you get to scrambles whatever they're called here at the LA Cafe no it's cool, total hipster. Get yourself a fancy fufu drink, but it tastes good and the food's good no doubt. You got to love LA Cafe come in because this isn't Coney Island it's a real experience and a real local diner that has some soul. Give him some love and tip the waitresses well you all know they need it.

Couldn't decide on a place to eat so we stopped in somewhere we've never been. Great choice! Really liked the vibe and area to purchase gifts.

We've driven past this quirky little cafe for 7 years and finally stopped in for breakfast. I'm glad we did but sad we didn't do it sooner! We ordered scrambled eggs with sourdough toast, fruit cup & sides of guacamole & salsa and also the lemon blueberry pancakes. There was a bit of a wait for our food, but our waitress made sure our coffee cups stayed full. The eggs were fluffy & delicious, a tad runny but no big deal. The pancakes were HUGE and soooo good! We ordered a half portion but still couldn't finish it. I love the quirky vibe inside with all kinds of fun items for sale, including lots of tie dye stuff and fun socks. The lunch menu also looks very tempting, so we plan to be back soon for lunch.

Great little spot that gives 90s diner vibes. A lot of syrup flavors and a bar for parties of one. Quick service. They serve breakfast and lunch. They advertise as vegan friendly but there aren't many breakfast options except carbs. I wish they had an egg substitute or any kind of protein substitute (beyond sausage, just egg, smart bacon). But that won't stop me from returning. This is a great spot with friendly, fast staff.

Such an interesting & unique cafe - I dig it! I would've never thought that there would be a very LA, kitschy, Hollywood themed kind of cafe in the middle of Waterford, Michigan, but enter LA Cafe! Such a fun idea! Being scared shitless by a life-size Elvis cardboard cutout as I walked out of the bathroom aside, this place is filled to the brim (literally) with LA-related decor & you almost feel like you're in one of those touristy gift shops on Hollywood Boulevard as you page through this cafe's impressive menu. There are a TON of vegan options here, which is awesome since I came here with my vegan friend. They've also got all your classic breakfast/lunch diner foods your little heart could hope for. As for me, I got their Huntington sandwich, a grilled chicken melt, which was a bit bland, but still delicious. Glad we checked this place out! From the road, I would've never expected the inside to look the way it did & now I know! :) If you're curious as well, I encourage you to pop in for a quick bite as well!

Cool spot on Dixie Highway think coffeeshop meets Archie McPhee catalogue. Former burger place repurposed to coffee/food joint. Tons of cool swag to buy. Coffee and biscotti were very good. Attentive staff gave great service . Owner manning the counter when we were there . A review in progress as I didn't sample 99% of the menu. Hipster cool without the hipster ugh! L. A. Cafe. Like uh yeah!... Go!!
