Come With Me To a Black Owned Restaurant

𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚒𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙻𝚘𝚜 𝙰𝚗𝚐𝚎𝚕𝚎𝚜 𝚁𝚎𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚞𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚝 𝚝𝚘 𝚃𝚛𝚢 𝙵𝚘𝚛 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔 𝙷𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚘𝚛𝚢 𝙼𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚑. What’s special about Baba’s Vegan Cafe in Los Angeles is the diasporic African cuisine. The menu has anywhere from Jamaican patties to typical soul food like macaroni and cheese with collard greens. All the food is plant based and heath forward with fresh juices made to order too.

My Welcome Plate I ordered was so delicious. It has battered cauliflower, collard greens, beans, mac and cheese and also pickled red cabbage. The fried cauliflower comes with a buffalo and ranch dipping sauce which is nice. The pickled red cabbage was phenomenal which I didn’t expect! The whole plate can be made gluten free which is great for gluten free vegans like me who struggle when going out to eat.

This is a restaurant you for sure need to visit if you’re in the Leimart Park area of Los Angeles. #lemon8food @Lemon8 Food
