About Us | Laila’s Place Café Newberry SC
Our Story
Born from Faith, Built with Family
Laila’s Place began with a leap of faith during the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. After losing their jobs, Tia and her husband turned generations of baking heritage into a new venture. Starting with homemade cookies sold at a local shop, their passion quickly blossomed into the welcoming café that stands today.
Love Baked Into Every Recipe
A Café You Can Rely On
Every member of the family plays a role in the café — from Tia and her husband to her mother and children. This deep connection is the secret ingredient in everything they do. With a mission to bake with integrity, serve with kindness, and spread joy, Laila’s Place is built on food made from scratch and served with genuine care.
But it’s not just about what’s on the menu. Our café is built on neighborly warmth, faith, and family values that turn every visit into something special. Whether you’re grabbing a donut on a Saturday morning, sharing ice cream with friends, or letting us cater your big event, Laila’s Place offers the perfect mix of quality, hospitality, and hometown charm that keeps people coming back.
Our Customers Say It Best
The Flavor of Our Community, in Their Own Words
Neighbors, families, and travelers all share the same story — good food and genuine service worth coming back for. Whether it’s lunch during the week, donuts on Saturday mornings, or ice cream with the kids, the voices of our guests say more than we ever could.
Proudly Serving Newberry
A Place in the Community
Laila’s Place is more than a café — it’s part of the fabric of Newberry, one of the “Most Charming Small Towns in America.” From baby showers and birthdays to family dinners and weekend traditions, we’ve had the privilege of being woven into some of our neighbors’ most cherished moments. Cupcakes have sweetened celebrations, pound cakes have graced Sunday tables, and donuts have become a weekend ritual that families look forward to all week long.
But what makes Laila’s Place truly special is not just the food — it’s the connection. Every order, big or small, reflects our joy in being a gathering place for the community. We believe a hometown café should feel like an extension of your own kitchen: a place to laugh, share stories, and enjoy food that brings people together.
When you step through our doors, you’re not just a customer — you’re part of the story we’re writing with our community every day. That’s why we invite you to slow down, pull up a chair, and experience the warmth, comfort, and care that make Laila’s Place a place where neighbors become family.
