    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.

    Strawberry Matcha, black cocoa biscotti with a coconut, scone and cinnamon, walnut scone
    Alma H.

    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

    The Black Cocoa Biscotti
    Leonard A.

    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.

    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!

    Coconut Matcha
    Nancy A.

    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!

    Hold Cream Coffee (Close Up)
    Ian A.

    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

    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.

    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

    Elote scone
    Jonathon G.

    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.

    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!!

    Love the vibe of this coffee shop. I recommend the Covina coffee it was fire!! Not super sweet and just the right amount of sweetness. My brother got the strawberry matcha and it was amazing! Seating is minimal but it's a great spot with great drinks.

    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!

    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!!!

I genuinely want to like this café because it's a local small business, and I prefer supporting local businesses whenever I can. Unfortunately, today's experience was disappointing. :/ I ordered a double matcha latte with vanilla, and it cost $10 for what looked like a 13-16 oz cup filled to the brim with ice. It felt like there was very little actual drink, especially for the price. I expected much better value. Another thing I don't understand is why they call out the drink name instead of the customer's name when orders are ready. On a previous visit, someone else grabbed my drink because we had ordered the same thing. Calling customers by name would make much more sense and would help avoid this issue. What really frustrated me today was that they don't put lids on iced drinks before handing them to customers. The lids are difficult to snap on, and when I tried putting mine on myself, I spilled about a quarter of my drink. Two employees saw it happen and didn't offer to help, apologize, or replace the spilled drink. That lack of customer service was disappointing. I really wanted to enjoy this place because I like supporting local businesses, but between the expensive drinks, the excessive amount of ice, the confusing pickup system, and the lack of customer service today, I'm not sure I'll be back. I hope they make a few small changes because I think the overall customer experience could be much better.

I would've stayed in this shoppable section for longer and bought something if I weren't so coffee-deprived, but didn't end up purchasing a crocheted animal, although I really wanted to. I will save this thought for my next visit to make sure I can take one home. They have a variety of comfy chairs, and tables for guests to chill on and take a relaxing break while enjoying their coffee or tea. There are games in the front of the store if you want to entertain yourself with friends and hang out. The staff we interacted with were both friendly and welcoming.
