Swift Cafe - Los Angeles

The food was good . It needs to have cold drinking water and ice. It took too long for food to come and it came out with each dish, one at a time. It was a bit expensive for the lack of those reasons stated above. But needless to say the food is great. And there needs to be regular beverages offered and not just expensive juices, only two at that. More like water, coke, ice tea , etc.Parking: No parking

The ambiance is calm , clean, and full of culture. All of the items on the menu are made fresh upon order (I was indecisive for a sec since everything looks soooo good in the yelp pics You can enjoy a bite to eat or a beverage alone or with friends and the music played in the background is the icing on the cake !

FOOD The food was 10/10 soo delicious AND filling! I ate here around 1pm and was not even hungry by 10pm, I literally had to force feed myself just to have something in my system... but dang is the food good. I ordered the J Chicken w/ sweet and spicy green beans, coconut rice, and plantains and the Thai Turkey Burger w/ slaw (also came with fruit) and flavored lemonade. I heard their smoothies are BOMB but none are available when I went. The Turkey Burger was soooooo flavorful, even before biting into it, simply just breathing in I could already taste the yumminess... it's actually making my mouth water just thinking about it now :p The bun and burger itself was so soft and pillowy. The beans were delightfully seasoned. The J Chicken was flavorful and moist. The coconut rice was addicting and I don't even like rice! I liked dipping my plantains in the sweet and spicy sauce of the green beans, which reminded me of an Asian sweet and sour sauce. SERVICE It was a soft opening and the waitresses first day and they had just gotten a new cash register so still working out the kinks but they made it feel nice and welcoming. I even felt comfortable enough to ask what flavor was the flavored lemonade (it was strawberry) and point out that their WiFi password worked for a different network name than what was listed... that's huge for me being an introvert! AMBIANCE The decor is boho chic, they even have a wicker chair decked out with neon sign and even a ring light for you to take photos and videos in located right behind the cashier and before the bathrooms. PARKING Found street parking one block away but I heard the chef saying they're trying to get a valet spot in front of the site, which will make it super convenient for take out orders or food delivery app orders. TL:DR must try if you want something healthy AND flavorful AND filling! I know I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area.

The host is so friendly, sadly deserves to work somewhere better. The wait for food is exaggerated and the food is okay, reminds me of BJ's restaurant, same price as well. I heard the chef screaming at her staff in front of the customers. Completely disrespectful to her staff and by ownership....

DO NOT EAT HERE!!! WHEN I TELL YOU THE FOOD TAKES FOR REAL OVER 40-45 min TO COME. I ordered a burger and waited forever. I won't lie the food is good and the inside is cute. But if you eat here get ready for waiting a crazy long time and getting bad service. We tried to talk to the chef/boss to ask her about the time and she refuses to ever meet with anybody or say why. She actually sent her staff back to us to tell us she's not there even though one; we HEARD her and two; theres clearly someone cooking/a manager on site. Mind you this has happened more than once to me so. . . Be careful, only come if you're willing to wait a long time otherwise just go somewhere quicker to save time.
