West Angeles Church of God In Christ served a special Thanksgiving Family style meal in the West A Café for its grand opening dinner after Sunday service on November 24.
Pastor Charles Blake II warmly shared that Lady DeAndra Blake is the visionary behind the West A Café which is located on the first floor of the new West Angeles Family Life Center.
As they sat together with Pastor Emeritus Bishop Charles Blake Sr. and Lady Mae L. Blake, in a dining area filled to capacity with members alongside family and friends, it was clear that West A Café is an extension of the West Angeles Church Sunday worship experience.
Lady DeAndra stated, “The West A Café is a fine dining cafe with a farm-to-table approach bringing only the highest quality produce. The West A Café is geared towards bringing families back together, feeding them both spiritually and physically.”
She expressed during the grand opening remarks how important it is that we consider both health and flavor as we fellowship with food.

Sunday’s menu included incredibly tender and moist herb roasted turkey with house made bread stuffing, black pepper gravy, garlic string beans, sweet potato puree, and citrus cranberry sauce. Guests enjoyed that elevated traditional Thanksgiving dinner in an exquisite dining room complete with crisp white linens and the most courteous serving staff.
The welcoming atmosphere was set by the smooth and jazzy inspirational vocal sounds of Dr. Judith McAllister as we’ve never heard her before together with the West Angeles live band.
Each Sunday menus will feature best of season ingredients and will rotate monthly so guests can experience the many flavors West A Café has to offer. The breakfast menu, served buffet-style, includes hot foods such as scrambled eggs, potatoes with onions, creamy grits, and Akara—the standout item—alongside bacon, assorted juices, and pastries.
For December 2024, the lunch menu offers two meal options: Southern-style chicken and rice served with sautéed lemon and garlic kale, or countryside shepherd’s pie accompanied by the same flavorful kale. Beverage choices include lychee lemonade, unsweetened iced tea, and sweetened iced tea.
The West A Café is open exclusively on Sundays, offering breakfast and lunch service. Breakfast is served from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., while lunch is available from 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m.
