Sparkling Guava Pineapple and Hold Cream Latte
Jay C.

Was finally able to visit since they are now open on Saturdays. I came mid-morning and the line was literally out the door. I did not expect such a crowd but the wait was not bad. The place is cozy and plenty of chairs to sit on. The customer service was friendly and fast and our order came out almost immediately (I feel like the wait in line took longer). I ordered the Sparking Guava Pineapple (very refreshing and guava taste really comes through), Hold Coffee (very mild coffee taste) and Pumpkin scone. The drinks were okay but what stood out for me was the scone. It was crispy on the outside and rich & buttery on the inside. Not a huge fan of pumpkin but I really liked this one. Would come back just for the scones and try the other variety.

Amazing drinks! I tried their matcha latte (less sweet) with the black cocoa biscotti, and I was seriously impressed by the flavors--especially the black cocoa biscotti! The coffee, cocoa, and cream topping complemented each other perfectly, making it such a refreshing treat on a 106° day. I also got the matcha black sesame scone, which was solid. The interior is super cute, and there's free parking, which is always a plus! Definitely coming back to try more of their signature lattes. Highly recommend!

New coffee/tea and matcha spot in Covina. Hold Coffee operates on a soft opening hours per their sign at the entrance. I believe they are open Mondays - Friday from 8am-3pm. The ambiance of the spot is very mellow. It's more of a grab and go type of vibe. They have benches and stools to sit and enjoy your drinks. There are no tables for seating just an FYI. They offer coffee, lattes, matcha and lemonade. Scones and other pastries are also on display. Most of them looked really delicious and appetizing. I had to pass as i was there to grab a quick drink. I ordered a Coconut Matcha as that is my current go to item. The drink was delicious and ready within a few minutes. I like the refreshing nature of the coconut matcha and it wasn't overly sweet. Customers filtered in and out during my short time in the location so they are clearly building a good customer base. They are a nice addition to the city and I'd find myself coming back again to try another drink and definitely try a scone. Check em out and support this new business. ( ^_^)bb

Strawberry matcha
Katie R.

I'm absolutely in love with this new coffee shop! It was love at first taste when I tried the strawberry matcha with oat milk. It is perfectly balanced with a hint of their house made strawberry syrup and the high quality matcha is able to shine through without that aftertaste of bitterness. I've also tried a whole bunch of different flavors of their scones and my favorite is the blueberry! It's crunchy on the outside and so soft and buttery on the inside. The blueberries give it the perfect amount of sweetness and moist texture. My family and coworkers also love it here too! I'm not much of a coffee drinker but they really praised the Hold Cream Latte and the Black Cocoa Biscotti Latte. And honestly, I think the whole neighborhood loves it here too because there is always a line no matter how early or late I show up during their soft opening hours! I've visited maybe about 5 or 6 times and each time is consistent with the fast service and great staff. The coffee shop is clean and has such a calming, cute and chic aesthetic. I love how it's Asian women owned too! I can't recommend this place enough and I am excited for when they finish their soft opening if that means longer hours, weekend hours, and more blueberry scones!

I felt old because this is in the old Blockbuster, iykyk. I AM IN LOVE WITH THE COVINA LATTE. It's a blend of coconut & cinnamon. The lemon poppyseed scone was delicious too. Inside space is very open and clean, staff and service were extremely friendly. I will be returning for sure!

This place is solid! Amazing drinks, amazing scones, and the sister team that own it are friendly. Parking lot is small and a line usually forms before they open at 8. I was headed to work and needed my morning caffeine fix. I went with their hold cream latte. Just the right amount of sweet for me and ohhh sooo good. In a last minute decision I also went with a house made scone and boy I did not regret it. The corn scone with jam was amazing. My one wish is they were opened just a little earlier than 8. Since I usually need to be at work by then I happened to go on a day I didn't need to be there by then. But it makes it a non option for me on any regular work day.

Matcha black sesame scone and matcha latte

I have been driving past this coffee shop but the hours were limited and closed around 3pm I came one morning and noticed the parking lot pretty full. The cafe is amazing. Variety of drinks and fresh patties made in house by the shop owners mother. Korean inspired coffee shop and bakery. I can't wait for the hours to expand so I can come back and enjoy the drinks and pastries again

Longgg overdue review for my new favorite coffee shop - the name Hold Coffee is so suitable because it's got quite the hold on me! The interior is bright, clean and fun, with charming blue details throughout. The good thing about a late review is that I can say customer service cleanliness and drinks are all consistent! My go to is the Hold Cream - the praline is sooo light and the perfect texture/consistency I never feel guilty after because it's so worth it. I also like the Covina latte - I don't usually like coconut flavored things but loveee it in this it's not overwhelming at all, quite refreshing - and also named after the town they're based in, how cute. The matcha is also beautiful in color and quite yum, I watched as it was whisked in front of me. All the drinks are strong and not overly sweet. I will literally go out of my way to grab get Hold! The girls are always friendly and welcoming, and I'm excited this is looking like Covina's neighborhood cafe!

My new favorite coffee shop in West Covina! I drive out of my way for this coffee shop. The coffee is amazing and their menu is amazing. I try and try something new every time I've come. My husband loves their Coldbrew and it's consistent every time. My favorite is the Pineapple Matcha, it's perfectly balanced in sweetness and flavor The scones are to die for, they are made in house and if you're lucky enough to catch them right out of the oven, you're in for an experience. The blueberry scone is my favorite. My only feedback is that their "cream top" drinks are not nut allergy friendly, I hope to expand their cream top options to include a nut allergy friendly option.

The cutest little coffee shop in the West Covina area! There was a short line when I got there but they have plenty of baristas and a very efficient system to keep the wait down! My blueberry scone was yummy and warm to the touch. I got their Hold cream latte and it's strong but delicious! Wish they were open on weekends!! Can't wait to try other drinks!

Black coco biscotti latte
Mirrella B.

I finally got to try one of the newest coffee shops in the area. Plenty of parking was available. I went in the early afternoon and there were several people in line. The inside is nice and minimally decorated. Customer service was friendly. I was recommended the black coco biscotti latte. At the time, they also had a soft opening 10% off discount on all drinks. They were unfortunately out of scones for the day. There was a matcha black sesame scone that sounded good that I wanted to try. The drink was ready within five minutes. The latte was good. I got it minimally sweet and it was just right. The flavor of the coffee shined through. I definitely need to come back again to try their matcha and scone. Overall, a nice coffee shop to grab and go for a drink fix.

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.

black cocoa biscotti
Nina N.

i tried their black cocoa biscotti, and loved it!! the cream top especially is very tasty. i'd love to come back and try their other drinks there was still quite a line despite arriving ~40 mins (weekday) before closing. the line moved pretty quickly though. also, the parking lot is very small so it can be difficult to park

I was debating between that and the Mexican sidecar but the barista kindly informed me that the latter was on the sweeter side, so she preferred the Spanish since it was less sweet. I opted for that drink for the same reason and she was right. I also tried the Biscoff latte and I don't know if the syrup is house-made, but it was also good with the right amount of sweetness. It's very cool that they roast their beans in-house, and although I'm no coffee connoisseur, I thought the quality of the espresso was great. The only thing is that all the syrup sat at the bottom, so be sure to mix it in well. There's no indoor seating but plenty of outdoor seating on the turf to sit and relax.

It's not overly sweet, so you can actually taste the flavor, which I love. The matcha is also really good. I actually prefer it over their neighbor who "specializes" in it. Service was friendly, though I did notice it seemed like a new crew. The manager used to always be there, and the previous staff was a bit more chatty, which made the wait feel quicker. This time the energy was a little more low key, but still perfectly fine service overall.

I weirdly also had gyozas and they melted away in my mouth. The cafe itself had good parking in the back and lots of seating. There's a spot to casually chill out and places to work.

Walking…read moreinto the store, I was instantly impressed with the attention to detail, the décor, the organization, and the overall appearance. Someone has spent a lot of time creating such a detailed space. I'm not into anime, Pokémon, or fighting card games, but I still enjoyed seeing everything. I ordered the blueberry matcha. As the worker was making it, I noticed they used a matcha whisk. It was fresh, not from a squeeze bottle or premade, which made me happy. I feel that when matcha is made fresh it tastes better and more care goes into the drink and the craft. I will say the cold foams were in a squeeze bottle and premade. The worker said they're made fresh daily, which does add some comfort, but I still prefer them made to order. Anyway, I received my drink and gave it a taste. The matcha itself was very good--nicely blended and refreshing. I could taste the blueberry nicely. I believe the oat milk enhances the flavor and gives it more depth. Next time I'll try some of their food. This review is solely for the blueberry matcha.

Wow how exciting to see 7 Leaves expand outside of OC. Congrats to the business for another…read moresuccessful expansion. This location in Covina has plenty of their own private parking and a drive thru. When we entered, I was mind blown about the large interior. The space was set up with plenty of outlets along the walls for those who come to study and work. I appreciate the 7 Leaves chain for having a simple menu but executing it well consistently with quality ingredients. On this visit I had the Iced Mung Bean Milk Tea because it was later in the afternoon and I didn't want to ruin my sleep with caffeine. My all time favorite drink here is their Iced House Coffee, with 3 shots of espresso. When I want something refreshing I get their Iced Sea Cream Jasmine Tea. And my family's favorite is their Iced Taro Milk Tea. Love their product. Love that this location has a drive thru. Love the study-work ambiance they set up their seating area to be. I was already telling my boyfriend how I want to take my niece back here the next time we have a café session.

It's spacious with lots of seating and free WiFi, and almost all of the tables have access to outlets. Every time I've come here, I've had no trouble finding seats. They also have their own parking lot, so parking has never been an issue for me. I think their drinks are solid. They may not be as amazing as some other places (like Da Vien) but they're still good and more affordable. My family loves the mung bean drink here. Today I ordered the jasmine sea salt cream--solid drink. If they had one of the special lids that allow you to taste the cream while sipping the tea, it would probably be a lot better but oh well. Instead they have the typical boba film covers.
