Crystals Soul Cafe'

Every time I'm in Compton I make sure to stop by the Cafe. Chef Papi treats me like family and its always love in every aspect! I have visited this vegan soul food cafe many times and was blown away by the incredible flavors and creativity of their dishes. As someone who follows a plant-based diet, it can be challenging to find soulful and comforting food that fits my lifestyle. But this cafe exceeded all my expectations! From the Vegan Lobster Saffron Mac N Cheese to the fried “Shrimp” Soul Plate, every dish was bursting with flavor and had that classic soul food feel. I was impressed with how well they were able to replicate traditional meat-based dishes using only plant-based ingredients.

They even had a selection of homemade desserts that were just as delicious as the main course. The atmosphere of the cafe was warm and inviting, with cozy seating...

The ambiance is top tier, with an eclectic mix of music, essential oils filling the air and colorful lights keeping it fun and upbeat; this place is like a hippie’s paradise! You’d think the staff is all on happy juice, because their energy is everything. Everyone greeted me with a smile, and the service was on point. Now let’s talk food, because every bit of skepticism I had melted away with my first bite. Oh. My. God. Let me tell you! The “Rib” soul plate, that’s actually Lion’s Mane, baby, I didn’t mushrooms had it like that! That little mushroom was doing the lord’s work, because it def could have fooled me. It was giving real meat, okay, in texture and flavor! Speaking o...
