""When we talk about giving back we want to be hands on and do it ourselves," Reihani said. "The company was founded on that. Since our first store opened we run our own programs that hire and mentor kids aging out of foster care and our youth director also helps them with their personal life including help with housing, schooling, therapy and that whole side of life.""
""First and foremost we believe in normalizing kindness and we do that through generally complimenting people", said Francois Reihani, CEO of the growing Dallas Texas-born chain. "For us as people are leaving the store we say 'love you.' We believe those words should be normalized and human beings should be a lot closer than they are," he said."
La La Land Kind Cafe opened a 1,500-square-foot location in Brentwood at 11698 San Vicente Blvd on Nov. 22, its eighth Los Angeles area site. The Dallas-born chain emphasizes normalizing kindness by complimenting customers and encouraging staff to say "love you" as people leave. The company runs hands-on programs that hire, mentor, and provide paid internships for youth aging out of foster care, assisting with housing, schooling, therapy, and life skills. The menu features iced drinks like Lavender Bloom, French Toast Latte, and Strawberry Fields, plus elevated toasts such as Truffle Burrata and The Queen avocado toast. The Brentwood cafe is dedicated to the founder's young niece, who inspired the angel logo and designed coffee sleeves.
