The Market
In the Market at With Love, you will find a small mix of local, organic, natural and delicious food and drinks. We do our best to select top quality, affordable products for our customers that they would not be able to get elsewhere in our community. Thus, making it easier for them to eat better, healthier, tastier food every day!
As a social-enterprise, a portion of the profits from our Market help to support Community Programs, local hiring (we commit to having 75% or more of our staff from the local community) and maintaining beautiful space for community events and trainings. This is all made possible through your support and patronage!
The Cafe
The With Love Cafe serves high-quality coffee, tea & smoothies along with prepared foods made on-site! We have ample seating space, including an outdoor patio and a meeting room that is available for reservations. Come with homework, a good book, or a great friend and enjoy! Remember, when you buy With Love, you are supporting South LA. Let’s all live a healthier life and thrive together!

With Love Community Programs
A division of Compassion Creates Change
Our non-profit arm is called With Love Community Programs. A portion of the profits from the Market & Cafe will be reinvested into the community through Community Programs. A few of the many things we provide to the community are:
Educational & Exercise Classes
Our classes include topics such as diabetes prevention/intervention, food cooking demos, gardening and food growth, exercise groups, budgeting skills and tools, supporting your child’s education, and more! Be sure to check out our events calendar to stay updated on what we will be offering! Go to our events page to find out about upcoming classes.
Youth Internships
Utilizing local partnerships with schools, non-profits and churches, these internships will provide youth in our community with an opportunity to learn work skills and habits which will give them a foundation for their future working relationships and careers. Contact us for more information!
Community Educational Garden
Through partnerships with local non-profits, Big Citizens Hub and The Edible Apartment, we planted a garden on our back patio that is intended to be learning space for the local community. There will be classes giving youth and adults an opportunity to learn how to garden, grow food, honor and take care of the earth, and have a little fun seeing things come to life!
This is a lovely green space where there previously was only concrete, asphalt and barbed wire. We hope that residents of South LA, seeing life growing in the most unlikely places, will be inspired to dream about the change that they can make. Change that will help heal things that are broken, give life to someone forgotten, to create joy in making something whole.
