Following the ever-present effects of the pandemic on the hospitality industry — in this case, specifically the decreased foot traffic — Swift Cafe owner Kyndra McCrary has opted to move her Leimert Park eatery to Hollywood Park, near the forthcoming Intuit Dome. The new iteration of the cafe will function as a daytime joint that’ll shift into dinner service.
While McCrary spearheads those changes, she’ll also be “busy designing the menu for a forthcoming South LA wine bar, an underground supper club, pop-ups, lining up catering gigs, and getting Swift Cafe dishes into a takeaway dispenser in Leimert, similar to Everytable,” per Eater.
Swift Cafe — a vegetarian concept that opened in 2019 — serves breakfast, bowls, plates, meal plans, and smoothies. Some notable menu items include Sweet Potato Hash (yams, mushrooms, field roast sausage, tomatoes, scallions, chipotle agave sauce, lime oil & micro cilantro), Rasta Pasta (penne pasta w/ spicy pink sauce, peppers & onions), a Thai Turkey Burger (served w/asian slaw & fresh fruit), and a Berry Cobbler smoother (blueberries, strawberries, oats, flaxseed, cinnamon, dates).
