Entiendo que todo está muy caro ahora, pero si vas a pagar por una buena comida que por lo menos sea algo rico y de buena calidad. Pedimos entre 2 personas un French toast y no tenía sabor y aguados (saggy), chilaquiles verdes y que no tenían salsa verde en ese momento pero me ofrecieron rojos que no estaba tan mal la salsa, pero las papas de abajo se veían ya viejas refritas de mucho tiempo que no se podían ni morder y lo último por el inconveniente de la salsa verde me mandaron unas enfrijoladas.. No puedo creer que clase de enfrijoladas eran? sin freír la tortilla y con frijoles secos...que nada que ver enfrijoladas como en México que son tipo enchiladas pero de frijoles y no frijoles secos refritos, que ni las toque porque ni se antojaban no más de verlas. tristemente me dolió pagar $65 dólares por esto tan simple y de mala calidad y aparte tardaron más de 30 min en traer la comida. Ni gente había como para considerar el tiempo de espera. I understand that now everything is very expensive, but if you're going to pay, it should be for something tasty and a good quality of food. For 2 of us ordered French toast, and they were tasteless and soggy. We ordered green chilaquiles, and they didn't have green salsa. So then...They offered me red salsa instead; it wasn't too bad the salsa but the potatoes the bottom looked old, like they'd been refried, and were inedible. , they sent me enfrijoladas for the inconvenience of the salsa verde, I can't believe that...what kind of enfrijoladas they were! The tortillas weren't fried, and they were filled with dried beans--nothing like enfrijoladas. They're supposed to like enchiladas, but made with like kind of beans (salsa), not dried beans. I didn't even touch them. Im feeling sad. It hurt to pay $65 for something so simple and of such poor quality, and on top of that, it took more than 30 minutes to bring our food. There weren't even many people there, so the wait shouldn't have been worth it. No dije que tienen que estar crujientes la tortilla de las enfrijoladas solo se pasan por aceite así como una regular enchilada... en fin agradezco su respuesta. Gracias

I love coming here for a delicious latte on my lunch break. I usually get a Blueberry Latte and they make it perfectly every single time. The interior is also very beautiful.

Coffee was amazing and good service despite being short staffed. Even gave us a complimentary drink for waiting longer than usual. Thanks Dova!

Stopped in to grab a matcha and Dova didn't disappoint. I ordered the cinnamon and brown sugar matcha with oat milk. They hand whisk the matcha and I asked for 25% sweetness. It was very good. Tasted like a horchata matcha. My partner ordered the horchata latte w/an extra shot because they only have one drink size. He liked it though. They also sell food, but we didn't eat here. No pet friendly patio, but vegetarian options. The inside is cute and clean too.

Salsa Verde Carnitas Chilaquiles
Darlene V.

Had this spot on my places to visit for a while and I'm glad we finally had a chance to go. The salsa verde chilaquiles skillet with carnitas, oh my goodness sooooo good! Definitely had a nice spicy kick, portions were pretty big. My husband got the fajitas skillet, he thought my chilaquiles skillet had more flavor. My daughter got the kids pancake plate, portion was actually pretty big and we stole a bit Of the pancakes (they were so good) I wouldn't mind getting the pancakes myself next time. Lattes were definitely on the sweet side but they had just run out of cold brew. Excited to Come back soon and try other things on the menu.

After almost a year, I decided to try this place out again. Guess what, the wait time to get our food did not change. Last time, we left without getting our food, this time we decided to sit it out. 45 mins later and I still don't go have my food. Here's what gets me, there are 5 front of the house employees, so if the kitchen is short staffed that should've been expressed to us as we were seated. I don't know why I decided to try again. Regardless of the taste of the food, I would not be back. This is unacceptable. I'm thoroughly disappointed yet again. I'll be posting the receipt later since the business owner doesn't believe I was there.

The aesthetics are EVERYTHING !!!! Such a cute little brunch spot in ontario, came in on a Saturday party of three, got seated right away. Service was great ! Got to meet the owners, who were a brother and sister. Just starting a business. The brother was the one who designed the interior which was so cute !!! Honestly love it !!! The drinks were great ! Loved how strong it was! Not too sweet !! I just feel like they should elevate their food a little more. The potatoes were more on the softer side. The pricing was decent but expected more from the food. Definitely coming back !!! Must try spot in the IE !!

Nutella Latte and Chips/Salsa
Nehemiah P.

First off this place adds a little beauty to Holt Ave, a place that needs that. My wife and I finally decided to have breakfast here and the inside of the cafe is a great atmosphere. This place is like any cafe where you can order to go by directly walking to the counter or self seating if you want to dine in. We ordered the chicken and waffles, the horchata latte (iced), the Nutella latte (iced) 10/10! We ended up devouring the plate before we even thought to write a review or take a picture. But hey, that's a good thing! Amazing staff and cooks! 10/10 service! Be kind and kindness comes to you!

This place has become our go to place for breakfast and birthdays. The staff is always super friendly. The food is delicious! We had the carnitas omelette with the breakfast potatoes, signature steak quesadilla and signature carnitas cubano quesadilla and they were all very good! The coffees are also good. I've had the horchata latte, cafe de olla, and la morenita. For these hot days I recommend to try the iced horchata latte *chef's kiss*. The place is super cute.

Café de olla drool

Hubby and I were in the area and needed some food and found this spot and omg am so glad we went in! Parking is scarce but we found a spot. We had my maltipoo with us and we're gonna order to go but they graciously allowed us to bring her in and I am so grateful! My furbaby is 10 yo and fell asleep:) and we were overwhelmed with the menu but asked and got some recommendations and they hit the spot! Hubs got the French toast and loved it! I got the chilaquiles verdes and they were delicious! Am now obsessed with their cafe de olla! Will definitely be back!!

Eggs, potatoes, sausage

Visited on a weekday morning right when they opened. Server informed us about items they did not have in that day one was avocado and cold brew which was what I was going to order. She was very friendly and attentive. The food looked much better than it tasted. The eggs didn't taste as fresh and almost watery. The French toast looked amazing but just felt like it needed something. The coffee was pretty good had a caramelita and a matcha but the matcha wasn't the best. The restaurant itself had such a cool and relaxing vibe I could see myself coming for a coffee and side.

Classic Benny; Delicious! So far the best Benedict I've ever had.

I visited for a second time, hoping to enjoy the food as much as I did on my first visit, but unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. The food didn't taste anything like before (I'm convinced there was a different chef), and the service was poor. Although the restaurant wasn't busy, it took a while for the staff to seat us, and they ended up bringing the wrong orders while forgetting items we asked for. The omelet my friend received was the strangest I've seen--very thin and made entirely of egg whites--and according to my friend, it didn't taste great. My eggs Benedict was also incorrect, and when we both ordered the café horchata, they arrived cold and tasted completely different from each other. (Forgot to take pics for reference) One thing I do appreciate is that they removed both dishes from our bill due to the issues, though we were still charged for the horchata. I really wanted to like this place, but sadly, I won't be returning.

Worst customer service ever at Dova Cafe. We waited over 35 minutes for our food. When it finally came out, they brought plates for my husband and me only to then tell us they were out of crepe batter, meaning there was no food for my daughters. What made it worse is that no one checked in on us the entire time. We were sitting there waiting, thirsty, with no updates or communication. Why not tell customers ahead of time instead of waiting until food is already on the table? They offered pancakes as a replacement, which felt like an afterthought rather than proper customer care. This experience could have been handled so much better with basic communication. Take your money elsewhere not worth it.

As a vegetarian, I am always on the hunt for a flavorful vegetarian sandwich. The Griefo is by far my favorite sub to get here. My husband, who is not vegetarian, loves the teriyaki chicken sandwich. Will definitely be back to try other options. Spacious inside with limited seating.

The freshness of my sandwich (La Canna) and my wife's (KGB) was amazing. I was stupid and got white bread and she got garlic herb. My bread was amazing for what it's worth but hers was awesome! I'm pretty sure they make their own bread. Everything was tasty and I'd order it again later today but I would probably say no olives. Nothing wrong with them. I ate them out of my sandwich but they were very fresh and strong so they took over the flavor of my sandwich. We tried some of their March Drink Menu and the bartender was great at his craft. We had seconds! Overall I recommend this sandwich shop. It does have an odd location inside an apartment complex but I would go broke if I lived here because I would be here daily. The atmosphere is fun with good upbeat music and a 420 theme which added to the relaxing experience. Don't miss out on trying this location.

Freshly grated Parm-Romano, Huge Homemade Meatballs and a Marinara to salivate for, on thier freshly baked sandwich rolls. We were in Italian Heaven! We paired these with some wonderful Peroni Beer from thier fridge. It was one of thee best days we've had in awhile. Cannot wait to go back! It's like Disneyland in that you can grab different things each time. Just get there! You won't behi disappointed!!

I was really looking forward to trying this Italian Deli for some highly recommended sandwiches…read more They have just about any kind of Italian food item you can think of and the sandwich meats are fresh-sliced. Those my only positive comments from my first visit. I came on a Saturday so they might have been busier than normal. I had to wait quite a while for my number to be called and then I had to wait even longer because the server had to correct a mistake on the previous order. There was no place to sit and my knees were hurting from the wait. Once helped, the young man who wrote down my order walked toward the food prep area and almost immediately yelled that he was taking a break. The young man who prepared my three sandwiches seemed inexperienced and unsure how the sandwiches were made. I remained hopeful. I took the sandwiches to the cashier in another area of the store. She was young but cordial and asked if I wanted the sandwiches in a bag and I said, "yes please", only later to realize I was charged for the bag. As many other reviews mention, this business has amazing potential but the customer service is sorely lacking. There are obvious deficiencies in training and supervision. Now, about the sandwiches. The bread is tasty but VERY hard (almost stale). This is much different than all other sandwich places and I was not expecting it. I was very disappointed that one of the sandwiches was completely wrong and not the way I ordered it. I will say the sandwiches were a good value but the poor customer service and incorrect order will prevent me from returning. I hope your experience is better than mine!
