    Everything here is great. The coffees are great. The sandwiches are great. And the desserts are great. I definitely recommend this place.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Mango Caesar Avocado Salad (half)
    Gina E.

    One of the influencers I follow Hungry4Munchies posted about this cafe and I had to try. There was a line coming in and the wait was about 10 minutes. I ordered their mango Caesar avocado salad with chicken half size and it was a pretty good portion. It was tasty with fresh ingredients. They have a huge menu. I noticed a lot of people dined in for their hot paninis and others ordered their drinks. This place looks pretty popular inside the West Covina mall. I'll be back to try more of their salads!

    Lord! I'll be the first to admit that I used to hate when my coworkers told me they were ordering from this place. I just didn't get the hype. However, after making a few tweaks to my order, I completely changed my mind. Let's talk about it. I tried their sirloin steak wrap with no black beans and extra cayenne sauce. It was amazing in every way. The steak was flavorful, the wrap was filling, and the extra cayenne sauce took it to another level. I also ordered their vanilla bean latte with strawberry cold foam. Let me be very clear, this is one of the best cups of coffee West Covina has to offer. It wasn't overly sweet, and everything was perfectly balanced. As someone who normally leans toward Vietnamese coffee, this was a pleasant surprise and a treat of flavor. On another visit, I tried their spicy chicken Caesar wrap. The young lady helping me suggested removing the buffalo sauce, and she was absolutely right. It was delicious. I also ordered a cheesecake that somehow never made it to my table. Normally that would bother me, but honestly, the food and service were so good that I didn't even care. That just gives me another reason to come back. I'll definitely be back for that cheesecake, though.

    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.

    Vegetarian Panini

    I've been to Cafe Valer a few times now and it's always good. Conveniently located right by an entrance to the West Covina mall, this is a great place to go for lunch or a quick coffee right after your shopping trip. The interior isn't very big and they're always super busy, so sitting outside might be preferable. I love that they have several options for vegetarians, and they have a big beautiful pastry case that you can't help but stare at as you wonder which sugary concoction you'll delight yourself with . Their coffee is consistently good and they usually have seasonal flavors. Today I tried an iced hazelnut white mocha and it was really good. Also shoutout to the guy on espresso bar today, he had my drink ready before I even got to the register to pay for it. My friend and I also recently tried their vanilla bean latte and a seasonal banana latte they have, both being really good. I've had both their vegetarian panini and their black bean hummus avocado wrap and they're both great choices. Today I also tried their white chocolate raspberry cheesecake and it was perfect. Not overly decadent but enough to satisfy your sweet tooth and then some. This one is also great for sharing as it's a little bigger than the other cheesecake slices. This is a really nice spot to come and catch up with friends or family and service is always good. They may not always seem as cheery, but I can chalk that up to the fact that they're always going nonstop. I've never had someone be rude to me.

    Cafe Valer is located in West Covina Mall. It is in the middle between JC Penny and Macy's. They have limited indoor seating and outdoor patio. The place was very clean with cozy vibes. The menu includes breakfast options, salads, wraps, combo of salad and sandwich, deli sandwiches, panini, pizzas, açai bowls, numerous drinks and desserts. The hostess was very nice. We placed our order and they called my name when it was ready. We got the following; - Chicken ranch club 5/5 Chicken breast, bacon, mozzarella, tomato, toasted peppers, and ranch dressing. It was warm, juicy, and had generous fillings. It was well seasoned. - Vegetarian panini 5/5 Had Black beans, mushrooms, tomato, avocado slices, sundried tomato & garlic sauce, roasted peppers, and jack cheese. It was warm, savory, had multi-layered and generous fillings. It was really delicious. - mango cheesecake bar 5/5 -2 apricot bar 5/5 -Creme brulee cheesecake 5/5 The desserts were outstanding, rich, buttery, and very flavorful. -2 cappuccino 3/5 It was not creamy or had the rich taste of cappuccino. I only tasted strong espresso. Definitely, I will go back but I wil try other drinks. The food was excellent and the service was fast.

Thanks for the time and the so so service.

Unfortunately, I personally disliked this drink. The primary flavor was bitter apple and tangy orange. It mostly tasted like the bitterness from an apple's skin. In the background, I faintly tasted the carrot and pineapple juice. There were also several specks of black floating in my drink, but I think these black bits were grounded up seeds. Surprisingly, this drink actually made me more thirsty. I guzzled a bottle of water after my visit. Despite my dislike, the drink is not bad. It's functional and healthy. It's not tasty nor the freshest, but it's a lot of liquid in a pretty bottle. Regarding ambiance, Zodiac Juiceology & Apothecary (Covina) feels poorly maintained. Wall colors were chipping; furniture colors look faded; and furniture felt very worn down. Zodiac Juiceology & Apothecary (Covina) looks old. The location also played slow rap music, lacked electric wall sockets for customers, and had a few flies buzzing around from its open door. Thankfully, the location is relatively clean. Overall, Zodiac Juiceology & Apothecary (Covina) is forgettable but inoffensive. Its juices taste frugal, but its liquid portions are generous. If actively searching for a farmers market vibe, this might be your spot. 3.5 out of 5
