Baba's Café is a vegan vending and catering company with a pop up shop, located in the Historic Crenshaw District, a hub for African Diasporic culture. Offering a wide array of vegetarian dishes, we specialize in Vegan Veggie Patties. Baba's Cafe started in 2013 as Wo'se's Gourmet, and expanded into Baba's Vegan Cafe Catering in 2014 in efforts to get a brick and mortar space to offer more. Why Vegan Cafe? South LA is a healthy food desert, over saturated with fast food restaurants, liquor stores, and grocery stores that offer non-organic, genetically modified produce. Veganism is about more than what you choose to consume; it's about a humanitarian approach to life that goes beyond what meets the immediate eye. Baba’s café directly provides a solution to this problem by offering healthy, affordable and accessible food to the community at large. In turn we are committed to raising the level of health consciousness in our community and improving the access to life affirming services. We believe when you align with your higher self, you align with the heart of the community; serving your purpose, ultimately, benefiting all.
