    Came on a Saturday morning, around 10:30am and the line wasn't too bad yet! 11am was when it started to pick up. We got the Caesar wrap and a panini and both were super solid. The drinks were good too but on the sweeter side. I really liked the Strawberry Vanilla Latte but it was slightly grainy on the bottom if that's something that bothers you. Overall, I would definitely come back for the wrap and try their other menu items. While there's typically a line, most people take it to go so there is a lot of outdoor seating to enjoy your meal :)

    Located in the shopping plaza of West Covina, so there is an abudants of parking. Went in early and boy was this place packed! They have a variety of things on the menu, from meals, to desserts and drinks. We got their steak wrap, it was alright. Nothing too specail in my opinion. Their drinks on the other hand are pretty good, but might be too sweet for many. I can't wait to come back and try their coffees!

    It was super busy when I got there. The line was literally to the door and stayed like that the whole time, plus there were tons of takeout orders being called out. There's an entrance from inside the mall and another from outside, which is convenient. Because of how packed it was, the place felt very crammed, and there honestly weren't many indoor seats available. They did have some outdoor seating though. They also have a huge variety of drinks and pastries/food, which I liked. I didn't really interact with the staff much since everyone was clearly hustling. I got the triple shot iced Americano and let me tell you... it was STRONG in the best way. Had me feeling like the energizer bunny for real I also got my brother an iced matcha, and he said it was super sweet.

    I tried café valet on a random tuesday due to all the hype and wanted to see what it was all about. I have always passed by this spot in the mall however it never caught my attention enough to try. Even on a weekday it was still jam packed with a line almost out the door. The cafe is tiny with barely any space to move and with most of the seating being outside. As soon as it was my turn to order, I was told food would be a 30-45 minute wait. I decided to stick to out since I was already there. I had the blackberry tea, a slice of chocolate cake, and the "viral" chicken Caesar wrap. The tea was delicious and a pretty big size for the price. Both the wrap and the cake were mediocre for me, especially considering all the hype surrounding it. I don't believe this place is worth the price or the wait.

    Had a great sandwich today! When I walked in, the place was packed with hungry customers. I ordered a ham and cheese on toasted sourdough sandwich. They brought it out to me quicker than expected, as I waited outside on their nice little patio with red umbrellas. The sandwich was packed full with ham and sharp cheddar cheese. The mustard and pickles really made for a satisfying flavor explosion, while the sourdough bread was lightly toasted and super fresh! I can't wait to come back!

    Came on a Sunday late afternoon!! Ordered the mango habanero panini and spicy Cesar chicken wrap! There was a 20 min wait time but we walked around the mall to pass time so it was okay! Got back and our food was ready! The açaí was free since they made an extra Honestly, so awesome ! Icing on the cake to the whole dining experience! The Cesar wrap went viral which is why I chose it but the panini was far tastier! :) l'd definitely go back for the food, and suuuuuuuper kind service!

    A modern take on the classical interior design, located at the back of the mall. Plenty of seating for all to sit and enjoy your meal with a drink with classic music played in the background. The staff is friendly and fast with their service. I ordered the White Chocolate Hazelnut Latte which was rich, smooth and creamy, and not too sweet.

    Honey Vanilla Latte ($6.75 - Large - 20oz - Hot)

    I had a good experience at Cafe Valer (West Covina). I ordered the Honey Vanilla Latte ($6.75 - Large - 20oz - hot). Its caffeine is uplifting, resilient, and soft. The taste is smooth, comparable to foamy hot cocoa. It's a hot, lightly-sweetened, & tasty coffee. I arrived at Cafe Valer (West Covina) on Friday (around 9AM - opening time). Parking is easy since this storefront faces the West Covina Mall Parking Structure. Staff is professional, hard working, and welcoming. Staff (receipt says Rosalva) answered all my questions. In addition, Rosalva quickly assisted when I noticed a problem. The Honey Vanilla Latte was being charged 25 cents more in the system; the default register price did not match the posted menu. Thankfully, Rosalva tactfully fixed the issue and expressed thanks for the observation. Another male staff member even offered more apologies and offered a quarter which was a kind gesture. To my immense surprise, Cafe Valer (West Covina) is very popular. Since 9AM, a non-stop flow of customers kept arriving. I observed police officers, nurses, mall employees, families, and couples pour into this small business. Cafe Valer (West Covina) gave the immediate impression of a local community hotspot. Staff is also alert. After one table had dropped small bits of trash on the floor, Staff quickly appeared with a broom to clean. Despite the many customers, Staff stayed focused and diligent. When ready, Staff calls the customer's name for "drink pick up." My drink took four minutes and 13 seconds. Good pace. As mentioned, I enjoyed the Honey Vanilla Latte ($6.75 - Large - 20oz - hot). This coffee is not bitter nor overly sweet. Its top is fluffy while its liquid is smooth and hot. It's a pleasant soft coffee roast flavor with an aftertaste of honey. Although its caffeine is not potent, there's a gentle, welcomed amount. Concerning ambiance, Cafe Valer (West Covina) is old, but it's clean. Its appearance is a hybrid between a hospital cafeteria and Grandma's cafe. The interior is small. There's about four small glass tables inside, but they're worn-down with age. There's a couple more tables outside. The floors are very clean, and the interior is well-ventilated. Cafe Valer (West Covina) lacks electrical outlets. After searching, I found only one electrical outlet on the outside patio near a table with cobwebs. This small business also gets Free Wifi Internet from the West Covina Mall (aka: Plaza West Covina). This small business has no restroom, and the music is very loud. Powerful, booming Christmas music echoed throughout this location. If I were to nitpick, it's also strange how there's a big analog clock that doesn't show the correct time too. Overall, I had a good experience at Cafe Valer (West Covina). It's definitely a welcoming atmosphere where people can loudly chat or order-and-leave. I appreciated my Honey Vanilla Latte ($6.75 - Large - 20oz - hot). If nearby, I recommend. 4.6 out of 5

    Spicy California Caesar Wrap (Spinach Wrap)
    Karena S.

    Decided to give this place a try because of TikTok and it didn't disappoint! The cafe is inside the mall but there's an outdoor entrance. I ordered the Spicy Caesar Wrap on a spinach tortilla. I asked the worker for a side of caesar dressing and they were more than happy to give me one. I would say I definitely needed the dressing and wouldn't be able to just eat it as is. There wasn't much seating inside or outside because of how busy it was. We had to take it togo and eat it elsewhere. We went during the afternoon and it was extremely packed. I would say we waited about 40 minutes for this. I did see a lot of people ordering from the cafe! I would go again to try the drinks.

    Probably one of the best local Cafes in the area. Cafe Valer offers everything from coffee, teas, sandwiches, omelettes and breakfast. The place itself isn't too large but also offers an outdoor patio for dining. The service here is friendly, but note that it's very busy at times so be prepared to wait. I usually get the egg white energy burrito for a post workout meal.

    Tried this place after a friend sent me a tik tok. It's nice to know this is an option nearby. I pop into this mall occasionally and always want something cafe like. Had the spicy chicken caesar wrap and it was tasty. I saw a lot of people with paninis so will try one next time. The place is small and there were a lot of people. Not a lot of seating. Happy to see their business is thriving.

    Finally had a chance to try this coffee place out, I have heard mixed reviews so I wanted to check it out for myself. It was very busy I waited for about 10 min before anyone acknowledged I was standing there waiting to order even though there were a few young lady's behind the counter doing things a simple acknowledgment would of been nice instead of ignoring me. A gentleman finally took my order he seemed very overwhelmed I felt rushed I paid and waited another 10 min for my coffee they forgot to give me my dessert so i had to wait again finally received it. I found a seat to try everything Coffee was okay I ordered a salted banana cream latte was very strong coffee tasting no banana I also ordered a white raspberry cheesecake that was good Overall I don't think I would go back it's a bit overpriced for what I got and I completely understand that it was busy but customer service was very lacking

We parked in the structure behind the restaurant. On weekends, parking is free for an indefinite amount of time. When we entered, we were greeted by the friendly staff and got a table by the window. The space is bright and filled with calming green accents and plants. The menu is simple and well curated. I briefly read some of the reviews while at the restaurant and they didn't lie, the crispy pork belly is a must. We ordered the Chili Oil Toast which comes with pork belly and avocado. If you're into numbing spice and a lot of chili oil, this dish is definitely for you. My tolerance is pretty weak, but the flavor is amazing! The house-made bread was extra crispy and delicious, but the pork belly... you'll just need to try it for yourself! My favorite was the Breakfast Burrito. This item was healthy and easy to eat. The egg was fluffy, the avocado was fresh, the turkey bacon added the perfect amount of salt, and the sweet potato balanced the salt. For the drinks, the Spanish Latte (hot) was a clear winner. The Matcha Latte was equally great, but needed a bit more syrup, which they kindly provided on the side. Highly recommend checking this place out when they have live DJs too! Customers are also free to sign up to DJ. The sets for sign ups start from 3PM to 9PM on Saturday.

They actually came by to chat with us, which made the whole experience feel personal rather than just another meal out. Honestly, it's the kind of spot where you feel completely comfortable striking up a conversation with the table next to you too. That's how welcoming the atmosphere is. Food-wise, we couldn't have asked for better. The pork belly was absolutely delicious, the sourdough bread was perfectly soft, and the potatoes were seasoned just right. I'm not usually a big coffee drinker, but their iced vanilla latte won me over. Add in the DJ playing chill background music and the overall friendly atmosphere, and you've got a spot that nails both the food and the experience. Highly recommend if you want a meal that feels like more than just a transaction!

Someone has spent a lot of time creating such a detailed space. I'm not into anime, Pokémon, or fighting card games, but I still enjoyed seeing everything. I ordered the blueberry matcha. As the worker was making it, I noticed they used a matcha whisk. It was fresh, not from a squeeze bottle or premade, which made me happy. I feel that when matcha is made fresh it tastes better and more care goes into the drink and the craft. I will say the cold foams were in a squeeze bottle and premade. The worker said they're made fresh daily, which does add some comfort, but I still prefer them made to order. Anyway, I received my drink and gave it a taste. The matcha itself was very good--nicely blended and refreshing. I could taste the blueberry nicely. I believe the oat milk enhances the flavor and gives it more depth.

I ordered the Haise Coffee (horchata with espresso doppio), and my boyfriend had the Chocolate Abuelita Latte. Both were rich, comforting, and absolutely delicious. We also lucked out and got the last slice of their Cookie Butter Cheesecake, which was a perfect sweet treat to go with our drinks. Great coffee, great atmosphere, and genuinely friendly service.
