Staff was really nice, ordered the Covina latte which is coconut and cinnamon mixed flavor, pretty sweet but still really good, and the Matcha latte with the foam was good! They were really busy with a line in front of us but our drinks still came out fast. Nice new spot in Covina. read more

Hold Coffee is a cozy little gem tucked away in West Covina. The space is small and cute, with a warm, welcoming vibe and genuinely friendly staff. I tried the strawberry matcha and it did not disappoint. It was so good that I'm already planning my next visit to try more of the menu. My only note: seating is limited to one bench and a couple of chairs, with no outdoor seating and no restroom, so it's better suited for a quick grab-and-go than a long hangout. A bit more seating (even a small patio setup) would make this spot even better. That said, the quality and vibe more than make up for it. I'll definitely be back! read more

Hold Coffee - Menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - West Covina, California

Cute little spot. Still in soft opening mode. The scones though.... Sooo good. Tried the corn and the ham/jalapeno one. Corn is my fave. Also tried the vanilla latte and strawberry matcha. My husband is a strawberry matcha snob and he actually liked it. I do want to try other menu items so will be back soon. read more

I truly have been wanting to try this place since it launched it soft opening, but the hours unfortunately do not align with my work schedule. Finally was off on Friday and did not waste any time heading over there. The place is small, but quaint and welcoming with friendly staff a.k.a. I believe the owners. I ordered the iced strawberry Matcha, which is made with in housemaid strawberry syrup. I was concerned to drink would be too sweet as I normally drink my Matcha unsweetened, but very pleasantly surprised how balance was and how you could taste. The syrup was not artificial my husband had the iced black cocoa biscotti which he absolutely loved as it was chocolatey and smooth We shared a coconut scan in the walnut cinnamon scone. Both of them were perfectly golden brown with crispy buttery edges, and absolutely delicious scones do tend to be dense, but these were well balanced. We both did agree that our favorite was the coconut one. Overall, this is a solid place for coffee and look forward to their full regular hours read more

Hold Coffee - Strawberry Matcha, black cocoa biscotti with a coconut, scone and cinnamon, walnut scone - Coffee & Tea Near Me - West Covina, California

I was in search of something cold with a flavor that was bold and from what I was told I had to check out the Hold. After my first sip my tastebuds were rocking like Ben Folds! But at the end of the cup I was about to implode. So let me tell you what I ordered to make me feel this way. Black Cocoa Biscotti was the drink and it came with Dutch cocoa, roasted hazelnut and caramel with house praline cream. Ohhh man this was really good and will definitely get this again along with another one of their exciting drinks. The service is good and I can tell they really enjoy the craft. Parking is limited and there is no restroom available. It's a great grab and go spot and that's my take on this coffee spot, Peace out peeps. read more

First timer! I have been seeing so many videos trending about this place so I definitely had to try it out since it was somewhat local! Parking lot was pretty small only had what seemed about 12 parking spots. Walk in and the interior is fairly small and the way people have to line up is kinda awkward. The line curves to where people are standing in line right in front of the sitting area (cramped if busy). To my surprise (not really) all the pastries were GONE. I didn't get to try anything (I went around noon) so I am bummed! The young lady took my order and she was very nice. There was only two people in front of me before I ordered but honestly my wait time in total was about 5 minutes. The drink I ordered was the hold cream w/ praline top. Kinda embarrassed to say I drank it DOWN before I got to my next destination... The coffee was not strong at all and the cream was a perfect balance. This choice is good if you do not enjoy super strong coffee and want something on the lighter tasting side. Keep in mind that this is a latte so its more milk than anything. My total came out to $6.50 since they currently have their soft opening promotion of 10% off drinks. I hope to try the matcha next! read more

The coconut matcha has me in an absolute chokehold. It is SO good! The matcha is vibrant and fresh and not overly milky like a lot of places--and the coconut syrup tastes authentic instead of artificial, which I really appreciate. The shop itself is clean, simple, and adorable. But what really sets them apart is the service. Every single person is so kind and welcoming, and they genuinely make an effort to get to know their customers. My husband took my daughter, Storm, in one day without me, and they recognized her right away! He came home and said, "They know Storm at the new coffee shop." That kind of personal touch is rare these days, and it's clear they truly care about the people who walk through their doors. I can't wait to keep coming back! read more

Hold Coffee - Coconut Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - West Covina, California

Hold Coffee (West Covina) is not awful. I had the Hold Cream Latte ($7 - Menu Price). It's Madagascar Vanilla Bean, Almond, Two Shots of Espresso, Milk, and House Praline Cream. Unfortunately, the coffee tastes very milky and bland. It's weak coffee. I still felt sleepy. (Note: Currently, there's a Soft Open sale. It's 10% off all drinks.) I arrived at Hold Coffee (West Covina) on Tuesday (around 9:15AM). Parking is easy. There's a small, available front lot. Staff is very friendly & welcoming. Staff politely answered all my questions. My drink took one minute and 28 seconds. Fast! As mentioned, I did not love the Hold Cream Latte. It tastes frugal and cheap. This coffee reminds me of those bottled mochas sold in the grocery store. This coffee is forgettable, and I hope the quality improves with time. On ambiance, Hold Coffee (West Covina) is cute and charming. There's also customer internet with password; customers must ask staff for details. However, there's zero electrical outlets; there's no public restroom nor hand sanitizer bottle; and the seats/benches are hard & uncomfortable. There's about three mini stool tables. Fortunately, the location is very clean, and there's upbeat, fun music. Overall, I had an adequate experience at Hold Coffee (West Covina). As it is, I can't recommend this spot; however; I do hope this business improves with time. It's a not awful place. 3.4 out of 5 read more

Hold Coffee a great addition to West Covina. I am so glad to stop by Hold Coffee during their soft opening. It's a family owned business. My goal is to support small business. Parking was easy. In case you didn't find a spot, you can park on the street or at Food 4 Less plaza. I went early but the shop was super busy but honestly the service was excellent and very fast. The staff were very cheerful and genuinely warm. It's a pick up type of coffee shop style. The decor was simple and nice. The shop was very clean. They have a very delicious drink menu, but the scones menu was the one I was keeping my eyes on. We got - Covina latte 5/5 It had cinnamon, coconut, sweetened condensed milk, milk and espresso as they described. It was just an excellent drink! - Black coco Biscotti 5/5 It had roasted hazelnut, Dutch black cocoa, espresso, caramel, milk, and praline cream. It was very rich in flavor, silky and refreshing drink. For scones we had: - Apricot pecan 5/5 It was buttery, rich in flavor, perfectly sweet, nutty with crispy edges. - Corn Scone 5/5 Very flavorful, flaky and buttery. I had not tried any scone like it before. Their scones were outstanding! The BEST scones I tried around. They ran out of many scones that I wanted to try. On my second visit, I went very early. They just opened the shop. Early in the morning, you can enjoy the various assortment of tgeir delicious scones. I had the chance to try the apple wood ham and Jalapeños. It was delicious as I expected, mild spicy and very flavorful. I also ordered orange cranberry and blueberry scone which were crumbly, flaky, buttery and flavorful. Their scones are the best! For drinks, I got Covina latte with oat milk and black cocoa biscotti again. These drinks became my favorite! What a wonderful Coffee shop! We really enjoyed our drinks and scones. Definitely, I will come back. read more

A steady stream of customers were coming in to partake in the soft opening of this locally-owned coffee spot. Carolyn and Katie are sisters and jointly opened their dream shop. Fresh baked goods are made in-house daily. The menu has Classic and Signature drinks: Lattes, Espresso, Americano, Cortado, Flat White and Cappuccino. I orderd an Iced Covina Latte from the Signature list ($6.5). It was refreshing, slightly sweet, with Coconut as the main flavor, made with Oat Milk and Cinnamon. Sweetened Condensed Milk was part of the recipe, I thought it might taste more like a "dessert" drink, but it was light and perfect! Non-coffee drinks are: Lemonade, Tea, Sparkling waters (Peach, Guava, Pineapple), and Matcha (Strawberry, Pineapple, or Coconut flavors). A good variety of scones are available, priced at $6 to $6.75 each: Black Sesame, Wild Blueberry, Cranberry-Orange, Cinnamon- Walnut, Madagascar, Vanilla, and savory Applewood Ham with Jalepeno. *During the soft opening, orders are 10% off. *Current hours are Monday through Friday 8am to 3pm., closed weekends. *Free parking in the shared lot. Sincerely, Rosemary read more

I ordered the Hold Cold Cream Top Latte, and it was really good. The coffee was smooth, and the cream topping paired well with the espresso without being overly sweet. I also tried the Matcha and Elote scones. Both had great flavor, but the Elote was my favorite. The texture on the inside could be improved, though, as they were a bit denser than I expected. One thing to keep in mind is that the shop is pretty small, so it isn't the best place if you're planning to stay for a while to study or work. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the coffee and would recommend giving it a try. read more

I am so happy this cafe is finally open. Covina needed a really good cafe with unique drinks and vibes, and this place is it. They have such a fun drink menu, even with a Covina Latte. I always get the Strawberry Latte because it's not too sweet but still maintains that fresh strawberry flavor. I'm not a big pastry person but after seeing their pastries, i just HAD to. I got the Orange Cranberry scone and every bite was perfect. I love this place and can't wait to see how it evolves with seasonal drinks!! read more

I came around 10 am and the parking lot was almost full. There's limited parking since the lot is small and shares space with a dental office. The dental office was closed since it's a holiday so I imagine there would be even less parking available during the week. You can try street parking but that's also limited due to apartments on either side of the coffee shop. If anything, there's a larger parking lot across the street you can park in. It's the lot that has Dennys and grocery stores. The cafe is on the small side and definitely not big enough to have tables in the future. R & b music played in the background. The drinks are unique as well as the scones. The scones sold out quick! Only a few were left by time I got there. I got hold cream matcha and strawberry latte. I added cream top to the strawberry latte and was given a small cup with the cream to pour onto strawberry latte which was fun. But I think we got a regular latte because I didnt taste any strawberry. But the latte itself was really good! The cream definitely saved the drink. *sigh* the matcha is milky! :( i was so looking forward to the matcha too. The house praline cream is good but that's all I could taste. If you like a strong matcha flavor like me, this isn't the place to get it unfortunately. They have the matcha already made so they just have to pour it in the cup. I hope they can hand whisk the matcha once they're fully open and have staff! I also got a vanilla scone and lemon poppyseed scone. The scones are so good! In all, I'm looking forward to their full menu and will come back to try the other menu items! read more

My husband and I patiently waited for Hold Coffee to open and it was worth the wait! I had the Hold Cream and it was great! The quality is good and flavor is on point. The scones were a pleasant surprise. I got the blueberry and was blown away by the texture and taste. It is soft on the inside with the most delightful crisp on the outside. It is literal perfection and I've been thinking about it ever since. Unfortunately, they are not open on the weekends (for now) so I haven't been able to return for my fix! I cannot wait for them to be open on the weekends, hopefully soon because Hold will definitely be my go to coffee shop when that happens. Also, the space is gorgeous! I love the subtle blue theme that they have going, from the cup sleeves to marble countertops. So beautiful! Can't wait to go back. 100% recommend. read more

Visiting this place was like a breath of fresh air. I always get SO EXCITED to check out a new coffee shop, and I am thrilled that it's in this area! The ambiance is very gorgeous. I love the red bench, the vase of flowers, the little prints here and there. I LOVE that they have housemade scones!!!!! Scones are the best ever treat and the fact that they offer so many different flavors and make it themselves?! A+ automatically. I got the corn scone, and it was perfect in every way. Texture was perfect, flavor was perfect, all around perfection! I got an iced latte, and they seem to use the same coffee beans that Nook Coffee Bar uses, Jetty Coffee Roasters. They also have coffee beans, matcha, matcha whisks, and Baggu bags for sale. Service was great, and they welcomed every single person who walked in, even when they were super busy which speaks to the level of intentionality of the staff! I will be back. I can't wait to eat more scones!!! read more

This new spot is so cute! I did a quick visit with my baby in tow and though it was busy, they didn't take long with drinks and food. I ordered a iced coconut matcha and a ham & cheese scone. Coconut matcha: 10000/5 The ham & cheese scone: 5/5 I truly wish other coffee shops had coconut matcha the way that Hold Coffee does it. Other businesses do coconut water and matcha like a tonic, but Hold uses a light coconut syrup in a matcha latte. Not too sweet and doesn't give the artificial coconut taste. Because I have a nut allergy to most types, I did not try any of the baked goods in case of a risk of cross contamination. I do give it to management as they're very clear on noting that the business does in fact work with products with nuts. Anywho, I did order the scone for my husband and despite it being his first savory scone ever, he loved it. read more

Good quality drinks, friendly service! So glad a cute and yummy coffee shop opened so close to me. Their decors are detailed as well, doesn't make a difference to my drink, but the vibe is nice when I'm waiting. Can't wait to bring my husband who is a coffee addict to try this place out! read more

Very clean inside. It's got some seating against the wall and window. It feels crowded on there quickly as there isn't a clear designation for the line. They need to add some lines on the ground or some posts to guide the line. I ordered the Hold latte, half sweet, easy ice, w/ oat milk. It's not strong coffee, but it tasted good. What I was really wowed w/ was the scone. I tried the matcha black sesame scone. It was so good. I will be going back just to try a different flavor scone (they have multiple options). I'll also try a different latte next time I go back. I do hope they improve the strength of the coffee and coffee flavor in the drink. Otherwise, it's a nice drink. read more

Absolutely loved this new coffee shop! We tried the cold cream and house cold brew with praline cream on top along with the ham & jalapeño scone, and everything was SO good. I've tried many coffee shops in the area and this is by far the best one yet. Everything on the menu looks and sounds amazing -- I can't wait to come back and try more. The shop itself is very nice and clean, with plenty of parking. Just a FYI: there are no public restrooms, so it's more of a quick grab-and-go coffee spot rather than a place to hang out for hours. Highly recommend! read more

So amazing to have a shop like Hold Coffee in West Covina. It's family-owned and operated by people who are genuinely passionate about hospitality. The matcha and coffee are both exceptional, with a clear focus on quality and attention to detail in every step of the process. The house-made scones are absolutely out of this world and to die for! Everything feels thoughtful and intentional, from the quality of the drinks to the warm hospitality. Excited to see them grow and become a staple in the community! They are in soft opening hours now Monday-Friday 8-3 and they are preparing for regular full hours soon! Cant wait! read more

This place is so cute, there's not much places in West Covina/Covina area but this place is gonna be my next go-to since it's so close to me. They're very kind and they ask to let them know if we need adjustments. Really good first impression and the place is really cute. The matcha is automatically sweetened with agave which is great and i think the matcha milk ratio is balanced. If you have a sweet tooth maybe get more sweetener or a syrup. I can't speak for their coffees, i'll have to try next time. read more

Uhh latte was definitely on the milkier side, not the biggest fan of it. The milk to espresso ratio could have been better. But cute place!

10/10! A coffee shop I think about everyday and always come back to. The Covina latte is perfection! You can taste the bean quality and how much love the put into their syrups. My sister gets the strawberry matcha every time and is always blown away. You get an instant hit of strawberry, and it doesn't taste artificial like many other places. Their matcha is ceremonial and they sell it at their store as well! The biscoff latte was something new I wanted to try and tasted like cocoa pebbles! Their scones were insanely good and made in house, which made me immediately buy 2. The staff was super friendly and I loved the ambience. The seating area is a bit small but for a quick chat and coffee run it's great! read more
