I left Los Angeles ten years ago and every time I discover that an old favorite is still around doing their thing, ecstatic.... Bolivar is one of those places. I nearly jumped for joy at the opportunity to have a cortado at one of the communal tables on asunny Friday morning. I love this place. There's nowhere like it. Seriously. Such a great down to Earth and healthy vibe Read more
i was iffy at first by the whole gentrification vibe the place gave off, but wow, this coffee is GREAT! cumbias playing in the... back ground (as someone else mentioned, not too loud to concentrate), friendly and helpful staff, and coffee made with love. ithas that South American Latino flare to it, offering cafe cortado and arepas. definitely stopping by again!

Super yummy arepas. We enjoyed black beans made with love stuffed inside a maize pocket, almost like a polenta flavour bread.... Also liked the mango, avocado and cheese arepa. The service was friendly and cafe very clean. Read more
I grew up having arepas almost every day, so it always feels wrong to over spend on such a staple meal. Cafe Bolivar has amazing... prices and delicious arepas. It's hard to find quality and affordable Venezuelan food. The staff is friendly and accommodatingas well. Read more
The arepas are made to order. Two minimum per order. Very tasty! They are small so if you are a big eater order 4. Their... Venezuelan soda selection is great. Where else can you say "that Colita looks pretty good!" and get away with it? I hear thattheir coffee in the am is pretty good. Read more
Would definitely recommend! Worth trying. The food is really good and too greasy. Great vibe and customer service.
