    Came across Lova Cafe randomly on a Sunday and decided to check it out for brunch. The place is small and cozy, the staff is super attentive to each table. The menu has so many great options and vary from sweet to savory. My husband and I stuck to breakfast/brunch options but I definitely will come back to try some of their other menu items as well. Both entrees were delicious and just the perfect serving size.

    Got hungry so popped in here for some breakfast. I appreciate the crepe variety of sweet and savory. I ordered the crepe avocado fiesta which is part of the savory options. I appreciate that they take substitutions Erich I had opted out of the bacon and also requested potatoes instead of the salad. I really enjoyed the light texture of the crepe and the spicy tomato avocado pairing. The avocado was creamy it was a little like guacamole in a crepe but not really. Don't knock it until you try it! I washed all this down with a chai latte using oat milk. Again, appreciative of all the accommodations. Couldn't stop there so I split a sweet crepe which was the crepe Suzette. It's a beautiful orange crepe that has a whimsical taste. So glad I have experienced it. We sat outside bc it was a bit crowded inside. The service was still great as we got our waters, drinks, and food without delay. Service was great as they make it easy.

    Pistacchio cake!! Love it

    Great for brunch or pastries and coffee. There's a big selection of different types of syrups for coffee. I will be coming back to try different types of coffee and crepes.

    A new friend, Katrina, and I were planning to meet for lunch and I suggested @lovacafe.official. Katrina hadn't been there before and it's a nice small business to support. Of course, their food is terrific and they have excellent service. I had been telling Katrina about Ube, a purple yam native to the Philippines. We both had the Ube Latte and she liked it! I tried the Crepe Avocado Fiesta without the jalapeno heat and it was good. Katrina had the Crepe Alaskan, which was a generous portion. She had leftovers to take home. We had a good time getting to know one another. If you're looking for breakfast or brunch in the Stone Oak area, don't miss out on this gem.

    A cute little coffee shop I had bookmarked Lova cafe a few months ago. I happened to be in the area for a play date with my daughter. After our play date, we all decided to come here for brunch. We were seated right away. There's indoor and outdoor seating. We sat inside. I ordered a matcha latte to drink and to eat I ordered the turkey bacon croissant sandwich. Both were very delicious! It came with a side salad that had a very mellow and tasty oil dressing. I enjoyed every bite! Service was great and prompt. Ambiance is casual, typical cafe vibes! Loved the decor and artwork too! Definitely recommend and will return for sure!

    Love this gem here in stone oak. Food and drinks are amazing as always. Love the seating inside, gives Parisian cafe vibes. Staff is always friendly. Service is quick and quality of everything is superb.

    My DW and I went there today for a late breakfast. The place is clean, quiet, and pleasant but too cool for comfort. Other customers complained about the cold temperatures inside, and as the staff attempted to adjust the temperature, it fluctuated from cold to warm to cold again. We enjoyed our drinks; DW had an Ube Latte, and I had a cappuccino. She ordered the Salmon toast, and I ordered the avocado toast. We both thought the toasts were excellent and the right amount. The service was excellent. We will be back.

    You get seated on your own upon entering. I didn't realize that and I kept waiting. We had to sit outside, but it was getting hot so the waitress helped us move inside. I got an iced mocha and a turkey smokehouse croissant. I think my friend got the classic crepe and an iced macchiato. She said she's a regular here and likes this place. And I don't see why not! The food and drink were great! We were both full, so we didn't finish up with a sweet treat. Maybe, next time...

    My friend owed me a brunch or dinner when I helped him with something. Throughout the months of figuring out where to go, I picked Lova Cafe since it was in a central location, fairly easy to get to for the both of us to meet. We were told to pick any spot to sit, which is cool because I thought they were an "order at the counter" type of place. It also wasn't overly crowded, and aside from a particularly noisy child, the ambiance was fine. Service was fantastic. Our waitress was funny and nice, and was very patient as two dorky millennials placed their orders. We both had black coffee and an ube latte, and we agreed the ube latte would be our after-brunch treat because it was SO GOOD. For my meal, I had the salmon toast. The egg was perfectly poached, and they really took into consideration the saltiness of the smoked salmon and didn't over-salt the egg or avocado. My friend had the ham, egg, and cheese croissant, and both of us cleaned our plates. After we finished our coffee drinks, we both ordered an adult beverage - I got a mimosa and he got a bellini. This was the only time we remembered to try each other's order haha. We had a really good time. I didn't get to try the crepe cakes, but perhaps I'll save that for another visit.

    Excellent service, gorgeous bathrooms, delicious food! Came in on a rainy afternoon to enjoy some quality time, catching up with an old friend. The food was absolutely delicious! Oh, I will most definitely be back!!! The staff was nothing short of phenomenal. So kind, attentive, and professional! Truly top notch service throughout the entire meal. They were not too intrusive, but our table also never had a dirty dish or empty plate for more than a minute. I'm not 100% sold on the Ube latte actually being Ube since it has some of the nuttiness of taro root, but it certainly was delicious and beautifully crafted. It had some creamy notes to it like Ube potatoes should have, but it definitely tasted more like a blend of Ube & Taro. If you're good with both flavors, it's delicious and I'd get it again.

It was a little messy with the eggs and sauce, so I ended up eating it with a fork. The biscuit came with potatoes on the side, but unfortunately they were overcooked and super hard/crunchy, so we could barely eat them. Overall, I'd definitely come back and try more menu items!
