This place is nice, beautiful and clean. Loved it! Came in to do some work but didn’t realize they close at 5pm so instead of working, I just ate.
And everything was SOOO delicious. I have many allergies (lactose, preservatives, etc) and this place was the best option I could’ve chosen to walk into.
Honestly would go back and try more items on the menu!!

What a special place…. Beautiful open setting with sky lights in and by an incredibly important community to LA with a rich cultural history in Leimert Park. Free parking. Great for meet ups, solo, working. Curated book collection/merch on display for sale. Full coffee and food menu. Infamous Soul bowl. Live jazz on Sundays. Staff is friendly and caring. Thanks for serving this community, Ora!

The place is spacious, beautiful, and has lots of seating. We went to work and it was the perfect chill vibe for it. There’s lots of vegan options. We got a kale salad wrap which was very fresh and a couple tasty pastries. Oat milk late was good too. Parking was easy. Staff was friendly.

What a beautiful place, run by lovely folks, with super delicious food! Green Goddess bowl was amazing, with avocados at the peak of flavor and freshness, and a wonderful, tart dressing. Matcha rose latte was perfect, not too sweet, well-balanced. Whoever did the decor is brilliant—the space is light and airy with pretty arched alcoves for the small tables, and open spaces for the larger ones. A+

Didnt mean to stop by here but the place I was trying to eat at was closed. So this felt like a string of good luck that I found this place. Loved the vibe of the shop. Loved its seating. Loved how despite this place being mostly vegan they still had regular whole milk (but if you do get oat/almond milk, there is no added cost!). Everything here was just lovely. And I love that its black-owned as well!

I used to stop by everytime I was in the neighborhood because Hot & Cool had Worlds Best Cauliflower Wings! Ive tasted many from various other places & theyre all pretty much the same. But Hot & Cools recipe made it such that I couldnt even eat anyone elses Cauliflower Wings anymore because I knew exactly what they werent giving. Nothing else Vegan hits like the Cauliflower Wings Hot & Cool stripped from their menu. I ordered 20 of their wings each time, because it was enough for my mom too. Id get more if we had to share. I even introduced my cousin, who got them each time she came down from Bakersfield! Unfortunately, Hot & Cool no longer sells the Out Of This World Cauliflower Wings, so theres really no reason for me to stop by. The wraps are alright. The Sole Bowl is good. The Smoothies are good. Desserts are good. But theres nothing else thats an absolutely MUST GET everytime Im within 3 miles. Im still praying they bring the Wings back, so I check the menu periodically. But its been months & no progress whatsoever. My cousin went by last week. She was down from Bakersfield & was nearly heartbroken to learn that her beloved Wings had been clipped from the menu.

It really pains me when Black owned businesses disappoint. After ordering online and heading to pick up our food, the staff were behind the counter being filmed for a tv show. Then, we were nonchalantly told it would be awhile (not eta) for our food and drinks because they were feeding a crew who was filming for tv show as if that was our issue, while still taking online orders and other paying customers were just sitting waiting. Cancelled and left. Do better.

I love the hot and cool café. The atmosphere is charging with creativity and positive vibrations. The walls, the floor and everything speaks of cultural pride and The beloved community. The food is simply scrumptious. Everything that I have ordered here brings my taste buds to ecstasy. It s rare for me to eat out and not have to add seasoning. One gets the sense that the food is prepared with tons of love. I recently brought my Texas family here for brunch and they couldn t stop thanking me and singing the praise of their meals. The children had the vegan sliders and consumed everything. The parents got the vegan nachos and fell in love with them and we re thankful for the large portion. My wife got the Soul Bowl, the only thing she wanted was more of it. I ordered the vegan breakfast burrito it was totally satisfying. The family also enjoyed the flavors of their Smoothies they tried to get the recipe to replicate it in Texas. Needless to say, however, I highly recommend The Hot and Cool Cafe in the legendary Leimert Park Village. When you get there tell them Omar sent you.

I LOVE this place. I live in Seattle and only switched to plant based a few months ago, so I just discovered this cafe on a recent visit home, but I now make a point to visit every time I m back in LA. I m from south central and it makes me so proud to see a place like this so close to home, by and for the community. My parents are nowhere near plant based but they ve loved everything they tried here too. This cafe is amazing.

This is a really cool black-owned coffee shop. They had a delicious coffee cake with some caramelized sugar on top I also ordered a latte with 2% milk that was absolutely delicious. My friend ordered the Cinnful Latte and it was a standout. She had it with coconut milk and Im not a fan of milk alternatives. BTW, they even allowed my ESA animal in, which I adored. Did I mention they have soaps and shower bombs for sell by a third-party? Cool spot!

Mind you I am not vegan and don t even like regular burritos. But this one?? Whew!

Minding my black owned business and came across this jewel! You know the vibe is going to be amazing when you walk in to the owner burning sage. I was amazed at the dope energy in this place! So inviting and truly refreshing! Their menu was short and perfect range feat a few specialities. The place was clean CLEAN and the art on the walls, the floors, and the building added the most fun touch. I ordered a Mocha with Almond-milk and it was truly the best one I ve had since my visit to LA! What a gem of a cafe in the heart of South LA. I can t wait to come back!

Omg! Delicious!!! Nothing, but great things to say. The Vegan Breakfast Bowl and Double Bean Chili w/ White Rice was off the mf chain!! Omg! I had these items for a very late breakfast, so brunch and everything was amazing. The bowl did have soggy lettuce and soft potatoes, but I honestly didnt mind. I ordered delivery through GrubHub, so it makes sense that the food is a lil soggy. Food was still hot and soo dam good. The orange sauce mixed in with the food was a great touch as well. A good sauce can go along way with a great meal. I absolutely loved it! I had some for my brunch, then later today for dinner. Chili beans could have had some seasoning to it, it was dry in that department, but the bean sauce and white rice made up for it. Delicious! I had some for brunch and the rest later for dinner with some purple and blue takis. Absolutely delicious restaurant, would definitely be back. Im disappointed that I didnt get my Ginger Carrot loaf, but I got a refund, so thats good. Ill order it again next time and hopefully I get it then. Edit: 2/24/2021 2/5 stars Wasnt for me. The Cauliflower Wings werent as seasoned as I assumed they would be. The inside was very fresh and only the outside has seasoning. I didnt even taste the lemon pepper rub, only pepper. Wings arent something I would get again. Too fresh and not seasoned enough for my liking. I didnt care for the Kale either, but the ranch was yummy. But, not yummy enough to sugarcoat my distaste for the Cauliflower Wings. The Vegan Ginger Carrot Mini Loaf was very good!! I hate ginger, but anything Carrort Cake is a delight. I was too lazy to warm it up in my toaster oven, but the loaf was still very good, best part of my order!! Even though the Cauliflower Wings wasnt my cup of tea and I only enjoyed the dessert, Ill be back one more time for their Vegan Soul Bowl :) Edit: 2/26/2021 3/5 stars The Soul Bowl is a beautiful sight to see. You got the Collard Greens, Mac and Cheese, BBQ chicken, and White Rice. I love Greens, very good vegetable, but I wasnt feeling it during this platter. It wasnt disgusting, just wasnt rocking with my tastebuds. Mac and Cheese is gross, not something I appreciate. I dont like Mac and Cheese periodt, so I didnt expect to like the vegan version, hahaha. But, the BBQ chicken hhhmmmm! That was my favorite part. It deadass tasted like BBQ chicken and combined with the White Rice was very delicious. You can never go wrong with chicken and rice. Overall, the contents in the bowl werent my favorite, but I didnt hate it. BBQ chicken and White Rice absolutely smacks while the Mac and Cheese and Collard Greens werent something I enjoyed. June 28, 2021 --------------------------------- 3/5 stars The Vegan Breakfast Bowl didnt taste the best compared to the first time I had it. Cant really describe it besides that it was alright this time around. The bowl tasted pretty much the same, but didnt have that hot pizzaz as before. The avocado was an add-on, but tasted better without it. Now I know, but I still ate half of the bowl, nevertheless. The desserts are an ABSOLUTE DISAPPOINTMENT! The Carrot Cake Loaf looks like it has been sitting out/under a lamp for a whilleeee. It didnt have the best taste. The white icing which Im guessing is supposed to be cheesecake icing was terrible, and texture is forgettable. The Mixed Berry Bar is honestly whatever. I had two bites and all I was really getting from the flavors were invisible and berries, hahaa. Theres a lot of berries in the bar, hence the name. And lastly, the Pecan Blondie Bar had potential, but it got too oily for my liking. After breaking the bar in half and consuming it that way, the bar started tasted oily and greasy. And the frosting on top was definitely not fresh, it was flat. The only thing that was my favorite out of this whole meal is the Breakfast Bowl.

This was a welcome find in my community. Stopped in for coffee with a friend. Tables set a comfortable distance apart, clean and colorful interior and friendly and helpful staff. R&B music playing (volume could have been a little lower to make having a conversation easier to hear.) My first visit but not my last. Ordered the Cauliflower Wings with lemon pepper seasoning served on a bed of kale and a creamy sauce cupped on the side. Oh my goodness it was delicious. DELICIOUS!!! I also ordered a Hot latte with almond milk (preferred choice) vanilla, honey and maple syrup. My coffee fix for the day. I also had a carrot loaf cake (not the full name; next time Ill order it warmed a little.) As we did order to eat there having it served warmed on a little paper plate would have made a better presentation. They have been in business for 3 years, and I wish them much success, and long and prosperous stay. Looking forward to my next visit with a friend.
