Super cute spot with excellent bread and sandwiches! This cafe is super charming and has great sandwiches. I got the breakfast sandwich, which was made with challah bread. So delicious and the bread was so tasty! I also really loved the salad that came with the sandwich - a really nice bonus! On the day I went, there was live music and it made it such lovely lunch! read more

I got the turkey avocado and my husband got the pastrami and both were really good. We got my son the avocado toast and that was good too. Skip the iced coffee isn't wasn't too great.

Swung by for a quick lunch and ordered the Turkey and Avocado sandwich on their infamous challah bread. Absolutely delicious - the bread melts in your mouth and is grilled to perfection and my sandwich was stuffed with Turkey. They also offer a side salad with the sandwiches. One of the workers there was a fine-dining chef and offered me his hot sauce to try with the sandwich which was so good. Definitely recommend trying it out if you come here! read more

Challah bread sandwiches! I came here looking to get some work done over coffee and after finding street parking (metered) across the street, I strolled all in. I ended up getting just a drip coffee and an egg salad sandwich. Coffee was clean and not overly roasted. Felt like a light roast which is my preference. The sandwich though. The sandwich was amazing. The egg salad was a good mix of mayo and other tangy flavors. The bread was so solid. It lifted up the sandwich. Also came with a little dressed salad to add a bit of freshness. An enjoyable meal with some friend baristas who also brought out the food to my table outside. Would recommend and will be back! read more

I came to Cafe Lovi to pick up lunch on 4/8 and ordered a portobello avocado sandwich. I had ordered online and I got there a bit early so I had no problem waiting for the order to be completed. When the order came out, I didn't bother to check the items because I assumed everything was right, but when I got back to my office, the order was wrong. I went to cafe lovi and second time and asked them to remake the order so they told me to sit and wait a bit. Little did I know, they wouldn't start my order again until they had completed all the "for here" orders so I ended up waiting another 15 minutes before I decided it was taking too long and decided to just leave. I asked for a refund, which the kind worker told me he would take care of. He also offered me a free cup of coffee which was a nice gesture. What was weird though was that his excuse for getting the order wrong was that the item I ordered is usually never ordered so he ended up making me a portobello goat cheese crepe instead? But at the end of it, I had gone back and forth to this cafe twice and ended up with no food after 55 minutes. What a way to spend my lunch break. And as of today (4/24) I have still not received my refund even though I had spoken to the owner two weeks ago over the phone. He mentioned he'll call me within the next couple of days, which he did not.. Cafe Lovi seems like a nice little spot to grab a drink or a quick bite but sorry, the service I received was quite bad. read more

Came for the pastries (cinnamon + raisin challah roll was just as delicious as I'd hoped it would be) but left with a serotonin boost and tasty latte. The staff here is incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. They are honest and helpful and the service is quite fast. It seems like whenever possible, they're sure to chat with customers who are into it, and that friendliness goes a long way for me. Clean, bright space. It's small, but doesn't feel too crowded. Plenty of street parking and bike lanes for whichever mode of transportation you prefer. Lastly, the prices are very reasonable. Small town pricing but big city quality (imo). read more

I ended up going for the tuna salad sandwich, which comes with a side salad. I inhaled the first half. So good. I also tried some hazelnut cookie bites from the pastry display. Also good. The reasonable prices are such a breath of fresh air for LA. I'm definitely coming back to try every sandwich on the menu. read more

It was quiet and soothing and there's a lot of personalized decor, so it feels like you're sort in someone's home - which I dug. Didn't try the food but got the matcha and it was great - not powdery and not too milky or thin, just the right amount of sweetness. Will go back and try one of their sandwiches. Also the owner was so sweet when asking me to leave, she gave me an extra croissant as she politely said they were closing up for the day. Overall a solid experience. read more

This place had a good chicken noodle soup. It was a German take on chicken noodle soup. Different, but in a good way. Employees were nice and the place was clean. A cool little deli, with a large selections of treats.

The sandwiches here are so fantastic! The ingredients are fresh and work perfectly together. They…read morecome out warm and fresh and they're such filling sandwiches. Those housemade chips are incredible, I could eat those by themselves! You also have to try their freshly baked cookies, every flavor is soo good. I love chocolate, so the chocolate chip and triple chocolate are my favorites, but my husband likes the white chocolate macadamia nut and lemon coconut ones! Service is so nice, food comes out quick. They're in a strip mall with parking, and there quite a bit of seating.

We found this little sandwich shop tucked away in this little strip mall just off of Barrington…read more The restaurant itself is a lot larger than I anticipated. Just a heads up, they only accept card payments. Card payments includes Apple Pay as well as Google pay, in case you were wondering. I was impressed by the large dining area the natural light that comes through and how clean everything was. The menu is tough for me to read because I am a little bit more visually impaired these days. But they are located on three large TV screens above the register and ordering area. There are printed menus available as well. Most of their sandwiches look like they are anywhere from about $15-$18 each. They have quite a variety. I really love and appreciate that the person who took my order not only was very familiar with their sandwiches and could make some really good recommendations, but they were very mindful in letting me know if I were ordering a sandwich that were cold versus hot. Sometimes I've had the experience where I order a sandwich and I get it and it's cold. I didn't anticipate that. So, there was one sandwich that I thought I was going to order from here and the employee who is taking my order let me know that that was a good selection, but that it was a cold sandwich and not a hot one. Thank goodness. A dodge bullet on that one. I also really appreciate the fact that the employee let me know that with certain sandwiches, if the bread type was not one that I cared for that I might be able to substitute it without any problem. I ordered food for my kiddo, and I mentioned that she has a little bit more bit more difficult time with breads that are crispy or hard or tough, like a French roll. So she made it very clear to me as to which bread varieties they have that might be good for her situation. I also really like the fact that the employee knew what was in the different spreads that they use on their sandwiches. That was very helpful. I also mentioned to the employee that I am allergic to olives and cucumbers. And so, if there were any items that we were ordering that were inclusive of cucumbers and olives, she would put cucumbers on the side, but olives were not a worry because they don't use them in house at all. I was honestly just really impressed with your service and the knowledge of their staff. She said that a lot of their repeat business comes from their in-house spreads that they use on their sandwiches. I believe it. My family and I we ordered about five different sandwiches. Each sandwich comes with a side salad unless of course you go ahead and decide to order an upgraded side. Some of the examples of upgraded sides include things like french fries or a goat cheese and tomato soup. Another option was a turkey chili or a side of coleslaw or a kale pasta salad. Those are all pretty good seeming sides. Personally, I ordered pretty blindly. I didn't really look at the cost of each of the sandwiches that I ordered nor did I ask about the cost for the upgraded sides. But all in all, five sandwiches and upgraded size for each of them was a total of $100. I figured, 20 bucks per person really isn't bad these days.
