Definitely NOT a diner. Limited selection. Would come back for a cup of coffee on the unlikely occasion that I find myself on the second floor of City Hall. Don't go out of your way for this place. Not much more to say.

If you happen to be near the courthouses in downtown and want something other than cafeteria food, this place is a good option. They have premade sandwiches which looked good, pastries, coffeehouse style drinks and some specials. I opted for the special of the day which was chilaquiles. They were delicious. They are in a court building so you will have to go through security. There weren't long lines either in the security line or the diner.

I was downtown on jury duty and wanted something quick and easy. On the second floor of City Hall, Homeboy diner is small with tremendous food. I had ine of the daily sandwich specials and it was super yummy. The sourdough bread was fresh and delicious.
Definitely will return the next time I'm in DTLA.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Cali C.Los Angeles, CA191106112Sep 30, 2022
I always order a toasted sandwich on croissant. Everything there is delicious. The service is very friendly. Cesar, the manager, has the most efficient style with amazing cu service. My coworker ordered the chilaquiles with chicken and it looked and smelled as good as it tasted (I had to try some lol). I jiggly recommend this place if you're in LA city hall.

Homeboy diner is a great lunch option at City Hall and a great opportunity to support a good cause.
They have a selection of refrigerated items and a lot of sandwich options. I have tried a few of the sandwiches and they have all been good. I really like the quality of the meat, bread and vegetables. In addition to these items they also have some hot items on the menu. I haven't tried these her so can't comment.
The prices here are very reasonable for the area. The diner is very small but they have seating in the hallway area right outside. It can be a bit of a hassle to get to if you don't work in City Hall, but a trip through security is worth it for great food and a look around City Hall after.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - L M.Los Angeles, CA01284Mar 24, 2023
More tourists should check out this diner/cafe, especially those who are visiting City hall for the observation deck. This is the only food service inside City Hall and caters overwhelmingly to the office workers. This is an outpost of the main Homeboy and they do a great job. Note that the pastries are not baked here, so they are not guaranteed to be baked that morning (usually are but not always). However, I find they are excellent even if baked the day before (better than Starbucks for example which serves the thawed frozen pastries cooked in a mega facility offsite). The espresso-based drinks are terrific. They also serve lunch fare. Service is great, friendly and usually very fast. Public restrooms are located on this floor (2nd) off the hallway just outside the Homeboy entrance. The hallway has 8 small round tables (2 chairs each) and two barstool-height tables (4 chairs each). Mostly, the office workers are taking their purchases back to their work locations. There is a social cause aspect to the business (check out the homeboy website to read about this). I salute the employees for working to get their lives back in order, and appreciate their service to the community as they do so.

Really neat place! I was looking for a sandwich place and this place popped up on my search and the location was so unique, I had to try it. Who goes to City Hall just for food? Anyway, the entrance is on Main Street, and you have to go through security and get a Visitor badge to go to 2nd floor. It's not much of a restaurant since people just order, pick up their food and leave, but there's plenty of seating out in the hallway.
I got the Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Angela's Potion, and wow this was an amazing meal. The Grilled Chicken Sandwich had some amazing ingredients, such as asiago cheese, roasted peppers, and pesto mayo. Pairing that with Angela's Potion was perfect. On the bottle, it says it's made of spinach and mint limeade. While I'm not a juicer or have ever juiced anything, this was a very interesting drink.
Very nice trip! The security guard recommended that I go to the top floor (after researching on Yelp, it's the 27th floor) to see the observation deck. What a nice lunch break :DHelpful 18Thanks 0Love this 16Oh no 0
