I was disappointed with the food and drink though so the stars I have were mostly for the welcoming feel. I ordered the honey almond latte and it had zero flavor it was just watered down coffee and frothy almond milk. The red pozole was very good with a flavorful broth and lots of spice but it was entirely all hominy with not even a single piece or meat. The avocado toast I took to go and my very first bite there was a long brown hair intertwined with the avocado so I had to throw it away I will try again but for now a 3 star is all I could muster with my first experience.

Everything was delicious, my daughter had a coffee too but I can't remember the name. Both were cold brews. The staff was very kind and patient as we looked at the extensive menu. The bagel was good, if you like salmon taste you will love this one. It was packed, the bagel itself was soft and made it even more enjoyable. Highly recommend it. I also loved that they didn't start making the coffee until after the sandwich was made. We will definitely be back. The inside isn't super huge but there was lots of seating.

Google Maps made it look like an empty lot, so I wasn't even sure it existed...but I figured worst case, I'd just grab gas nearby and move on. Pulling in was a little confusing -definitely pay attention to the arrows on the road because I ended up in the wrong spot instead of the drive-thru (a sign would help...or maybe I just missed it). There were about four cars ahead of me, which felt like a good sign. Someone came right up to my window to take my order, and when I said it was my first time, they were super helpful with recommendations. I went with a 24oz SF Augustine with cold foam and three espresso shots. It was really good - perfectly balanced, not too sweet. The espresso had a slightly burnt taste, but not in a bad way or anything overpowering. I also love that they have a "best sellers" list and it makes trying something new way easier and the drinks are pretty unique. Definitely coming back! Heads up: this is more of a grab-and-go spot--no seating, and I'm not sure about ordering ahead. But if you're an early bird who just wants a solid coffee fast, it's perfect. And I'm pretty sure it's local, which makes it even better!

This is my 3rd time visiting Light Heart in the last two years, and I stand firm on my review…read more.. The space is cute and minimalist (this is their OG location that was recently renovated!), and a good place to stop for sips with friends or to get some computer work done (which is what I've done!). There's plenty of wall plug ins for those looking to do work, like me, but also spaces curated for groups to sit and enjoy each other's company. I've had generally good service with the staff here - nothing bad to say! I've had more friendly experiences than the one on my most recent visit, but not a bad thing! I've gotten the same drink all three times I've come here - an iced vanilla oat milk matcha latte. It has consistently been the same, which is hard to find these days! I'd say if you're a matcha snob like me, you won't find this latte impressive, but you will still find it tasty! I'd give it a 7.8/10 - still a good drink, not a deep matcha taste, but the vanilla syrup is super - it is the main flavor of the drink in my opinion.

The Grove was tucked in between numerous shops and restaurants in this trendy shopping center. I was surprised at how crowded the whole area was, with the young and old alike walking around and enjoying these establishments. There was curbside parking and parking lots and parking garages nearby; I snagged a spot in the parking lot, specifically parking in 3 hour visitor parking. Walking back to The Grove itself, there were some folks sitting in the outside patio basking in the temperate weather. Upon entering the cafe, I noticed the spacious seating with booths and vintage-appearing chairs (as in the styles appeared vintage, but they didn't seem old/used) - all furnishings seemed very comfortable, which I felt is unique for coffee shops. There is also ample lighting to illuminate the interior and people-watch others walking around High Street. I am always drawn to seasonal/specialty menus and opted for the "Rose Gold Latte", a vanilla latte with rose cold foam. It was a perfect sweet altogether. The rose foam itself was very subtle, and without knowing it was supposed to be rosy I wouldn't have guessed -- this could be a good or bad thing depending on preference, but I personally would've wanted a bit more rose flavor. Overall, this café is perfect for working, with free Wi-Fi, two individual bathrooms, comfortable furniture, self served water station, and access to an outlet (I'm sitting at the booth closest to the bathrooms, which has its own outlet). Would definitely come again if I want a tranquil coffee shop to work at for an extended amount of time especially with food options if I get hungry!
