Swift Cafe, Leimert Park’s neighborhood bright neighborhood restaurant that opened in 2019, will close today. Chef and owner Kyndra McCrary says there are several reasons behind shuttering her popular eatery, but the bright side is that McCrary has future projects lined up.

McCrary tells Eater LA that her landlord put the building on the market, but she’s been planning to exit for a while. “Since COVID, the foot traffic isn’t what it used to be,” says McCrary. “It’s time to move on. It’s bittersweet because I’m going to move into a space in Hollywood Park.”

McCrary will ultimately shift operations near the forthcoming Intuit Dome — the future home of the LA Clippers — where she’ll customize a space to ultimately function as a daytime cafe that’ll shift into dinner service. In the meantime, McCrary is 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.
