In January of 1982…

We opened as a breakfast and lunch spot with just a few tables and five seats at the counter. Since then we have expanded our space to include a beautiful events room as well as a flourishing catering service renowned for friendly service, beautiful presentation, and of course delicious world cuisine.

While the original cafe didn’t start out serving Filipino cuisine, L.A Rose has over the years evolved into an in-the-know hotspot for authentic Filipino cuisine, connection, and community with regular events featuring karaoke or live music. The beating heart of our business, founder Lem Balagot can still be found pulling up chairs to tables and expanding his guests’ palates by suggesting various dishes and desserts.
