On Wednesday July 30th, Good Morning America visited La La Land Kind Café in Southlake, Texas, for a special segment celebrating kindness and community. The café, known for its mission to “normalize kindness,” creates a welcoming atmosphere not just through coffee, but by empowering youth who have aged out of foster care. Founder Francois Reihani shared how the café combines business with social impact by hiring and mentoring young adults who often face uncertain futures. He emphasized that the café isn’t just a place to get a latte—it’s a space where people feel seen, loved, and supported.
The “My Kind Of Town” segment, filmed at Southlake’s newest obsession, spotlighted La La Land’s signature yellow aesthetic, cheerful energy, and “I love you” drive-thru greetings, showcasing how small gestures can have big emotional impact. Local employees and customers spoke about how the café has changed their lives, reinforcing its mission to spread joy and purpose through every interaction. GMA hosts praised the Southlake team’s enthusiasm and authenticity, highlighting the broader message of compassion in action. La La Land now operates multiple locations, but the Southlake café exemplifies its heart: uplifting others, one cup of coffee and one kind word at a time.
