La La Land Kind Café
About
La La Land Kind Café is a chain that started in Dallas, Texas, known for its yellow storefronts and its kindness mission: it hires and supports young people from foster care, and cups come with a kind note. This location at The Grove is the LA flagship; the Banana Cloud Latte, a double matcha latte and seasonal drinks are the signatures.
Jasmine says
'We Serve Kindness.' A feel-good café from Texas that hires young people aging out of foster care, so making coffee becomes a starting point for being seen. Buttery tones, little yellow flowers and natural light, and the smiles come naturally.
The yellow café that turned kindness into a chain: it hires young people aging out of foster care, and every drink comes with a sweet note. The flagship is at The Grove.
