South LA Cafe is a Black-owned, family-owned, and community-owned establishment located in the heart of South Central Los Angeles. Founded by Joe and Celia Ward-Wallace, South LA Cafe aims to provide fresh, affordable, and healthy food options to the local community, fighting against racial, social, economic, and food inequity. As a community space, South LA Cafe celebrates and preserves the history, legacy, and future of South Central, creating a sense of belonging and connection for all.
South LA Market, a part of South LA Cafe, is dedicated to delivering equity and access to fresh, healthy, and affordable food in an area that has been historically underserved. With only 91 grocery stores serving nearly 500,000 residents, South Central LA is considered a food desert. South LA Market aims to be an antidote to this issue, providing a wide range of grocery options and fighting against the inequalities caused by systemic racism and harm. Through their activism, social good, and entrepreneurship, South LA Market is committed to building a powerful South Central community.
