For anyone out there reading this, I have found the key to finding cool restaurants. It’s not word-of-mouth, it’s not yelp, it’s not Instagram…. it’s TIK TOK. Yes, you heard me. Tik Tok, the app for preteens, is the key to finding the coolest restaurants and activities in literally every city you go to. It has led me to some of the cutest places I’ve been to this year and – yes – that includes La La Kind Cafe. 

La La Kind Cafe is an adorable (straight up cute af) trendy coffee shop/cafe in Santa Monica. They offer all sorts of fun lattes and matchas, in addition to fun toasts like avocado toast, berry toast, etc. The place isn’t 100% vegan but they do have a seperate vegan menu and almost every single thing can be made or modified to be vegan. 

La La Kind Cafe? More like Yum Yum Kind Cafe!! Ok, that was terrible. I admit it. Let’s please move on asap. 

First of all, the interior design of the place is gorgeous. It feels like a vacation resort. As for the drinks, Bella got their butterfly pea matcha latte and I got their cinnamon toast crunch latte. Both were INCREDIBLE. Bella said hers tasted like fruity pebbles and mine straight up tasted like cinnamon toast crunch. Would 100% get again. 

For the toasts we split the “Queen” toast (avocado mash and vegan cream cheese on sourdough) and the MAKA toast (amond butter, blueberries, banana, and strawberries on sourdough). Both were AMAZING!!!!!!! So delicious in their own different ways. I would get both again in a heartbeat and eat them in a literal heartbeat. Our only complaint was that it could have had more cream cheese. The avo kind of overpowered it. 

So that’s it folks, for your latest vegan find in LA. Check it out! We all gave it a 10/10 because it really did slap hard. See for yourself!
