The dirty chai was the best I've ever tasted! Gold Star 100% top notch winner winner tea for dinner!!! I also got the Monkey Business cold frappe.

"It's not just Medusa that I have to fear," Diana of the Wild Isle, Daughter of Circe, and the Last…read moreof the Amazons, reminds herself as she steps confidently towards danger in Kelly Thompson and Mattia De Iulis's Absolute Wonder Woman Annual #1 (2026). "First, it will be her sisters. Stheno and Euryale. Gorgons...'Dread monsters' in the oldest texts....And yet, they have stayed by their sister's side, even though a glance from her would turn them into stone. That is love," Diana realizes, even as she contemplates that, soon, the misty cave floor under her feet will be beset with violence, meted out by Medusa's sisters, before Diana even gets a chance to explain that she is trespassing in the hopes of obtaining for Medusa the ultimate form of social justice: permanent chances for her to "look other soul[s] in the eyes...and be seen." The Black female ownership, the management, and the staff at Love Life Cafe, a snug coffee house nestled at 929 Washington Blvd in Laurel, Maryland, are fully aware how being seen is intertwined with social justice, kindness, and customer service. Black artists' drawings and paintings, some of which are for sale, adorn the walls, including "Wakanda Forever," featuring Chadwick Boseman, whom the world heartbreakingly lost too soon to cancer; "Say Their Names: Black Lives Matter," featuring Sandra Bland; whom her communities bitterly lost to police brutality; and, in a hope-filled change of pace, "Looking Up at Greatness," depicting two-year-old Parker Curry's recognition and wonder at seeing Amy Sherald's portrait of Michelle Obama at the National Portrait Gallery in March of 2018. So far, my wife has enjoyed a life-sized latte with extra hot cardamom oat milk; a life-sized cafe au Lait with the same; an açaí bowl, minus the honey and adding kiwi, pineapple, and mango; and a life-sized Hollaback Girl latte. Meanwhile, I was thrilled to devour a banana, cinnamon, and vanilla frappe appropriately dubbed "Monkey Business."

They serve the basics well coffee, tea, and a solid mix of small bites, sweets, and made to order sandwiches that actually hit. The space works for whatever you need that day.

Overall, it is a cozy, reliable spot that does not try too hard but still delivers.

One girl prepared the order of people that came in after us and ignored our order, passed it on without any regards and then took the next people that came in and it took another employee to ask what the order sitting there was for.

The strawberry and cheesecake flavors worked really well together, and the presentation was beautiful. The shop itself was clean, inviting, and a nice place to stop when you're craving something sweet. The portions were generous, and it felt like a fun treat rather than just grabbing a scoop of ice cream. If I had one tiny suggestion, it would be to offer even more flavor combinations because everything looked so good that it was hard to choose!
