Founded in 2018 as Gretel & Co. Catering, our story unfolds as we undergo a transformative journey. Led by owner Gretel Van Volkenburgh, our vision to revolutionize the drinking experience is now evolving into Bistro, where the forthcoming introduction of adaptogen-based mocktails will redefine the space that was once dedicated to our catering services. In 2023, we transitioned into Bistro, a haven where individuals in recovery can discover solace and connection without the presence of alcohol. Nestled in the heart of our community, our bistro offers a warm and inviting ambiance, complete with soft lighting, comfortable seating, and soothing music. Bistro serves as a beacon of hope, promoting wellness, mindfulness, and camaraderie.
“I had an amazing experience at Bistró By Gretel And Company! The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish prepared to perfection. A special shoutout to Lexus, who made our visit unforgettable. She treated us with such warmth and care that we felt like we were dining at home with family. Exceptional service and incredible food—highly recommend!”

Found this quaint cafe one day while in the area and very glad i did. Service was great and very attentive. The bistro plate and the avocado toast was very good. Pro tip, ask for the beef bacon. Sooo good. The french press coffee was a nice touch as well. Give this place a shot, i think you will be pleasantly surprised.

What an incredible way to spend the last Sunday of the year! This magical place offers so much more than just delicious food. The warm and inviting ambiance, combined with the attentive service, made our friendship gathering truly special. It’s a hidden gem in the community, and I strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable experience. Wishing the team continued success, and I can’t wait to visit again next year to create abundance memories of laughter in a cozy spot. See you soon again.

What a cute brunch spot! The mocktails were a nice healthy and tasty alternative to cocktails. The food was delicious with vegetarians options (I’d also recommend a macaroon ). The ambiance was extremely cozy and the staff were so nice! I’ll definitely be coming back.

Food was delicious. The toast was not too hard where I can’t bite it, the bread was soft and the avocado was fresh. The waffles are tasteful and the fried chicken is juicy and flavorful. Definitely recommend this restaurant. The host Gretel was kind and asked us if we wanted her and her team to pray for anything for us ; they pray after they close the restaurant.

Wonderful food. Great & friendly staff/service. The waffle was good size & tasted delicious. Beef bacon is different but SO GOOD.

Man the food was good. I offered my wife a piece before I took a bite of the bacon. I took it back after the first bite. And the chili seasoning for the eggs was very good too.
They prefer reservations but will let you walk in if they aren’t booked.

Came washing yesterday, the place was closed. Came back today it was open. Did some self care and treated myself. The CEO, (says on the receipt) catered to me herself. She explained it all. Everything se so nice, fresh and different. It's a whole chill vibe if that's what your looking for. The elixir flight is dope! Have me leaving refreshed!

I follow my cities social media page and saw this place had opened. It is easy to miss because the it's tucked far back in a plaza that isn't very inviting. I had passed by this place a million times and thought nothing here for me. But today early in the morning I saw the bistro sign and said "oh wow here it is". I got just a cold brew coffee and was very disappointed. One tasted watered down the other was to much cream. I don't think I will be coming back for coffee. I will have to come back for food on another day. Will update my post.

The food is delicious!!! Their service is amazing, and I am in love with the peaceful atmosphere this place has. I go to this restaurant to eat, to study or complete big college projects, and also to relax, and why not? Just to have a great time!
My favorite breakfast is the Avocado delight with bacon with a cup of coffee.
Today, I tried the Curious Elixirs and they tasted fantastic and helped to relax because I was going through lots of stress in the morning.
I definitely recommend this place 100%!!!

Check out this amazing new family-friendly restaurant in Bellflower! They offer a great selection of non-alcoholic drinks, along with delicious macaroons, waffles, avocado toast, cheese danishes, house salad, and egg bites. Highly recommended! You’ve got to try this spot off Alondra and Lakewood! Heres a picture of what I ordered for me and my late friend lol.
