About this location
One of two Homeboy Bakery/Cafe counters at LAX, this one sits in the gate 40-49 bank alongside Dunkin' and Sammy's Woodfired Pizza & Grill — pairing Peet's Coffee & Tea with house-baked sandwiches gives it a menu neither neighbor matches. Homeboy Industries, the Los Angeles nonprofit behind the name, runs both LAX locations, so choosing this one over its sibling comes down to which gate you're closer to rather than what's on the menu. Mobile ordering is available here, useful for anyone boarding soon at gate 45 or 49 without time to queue.
One of 2 Homeboy Cafe locations at Los Angeles International Airport (Terminal 3, Terminal 4).
Other options in Terminal 4
All past the same checkpoint, so you can reach them without clearing security again.
