I love this place! It's small but cozy and the beautiful pictures on the wall of icons (ie Michele Obama and Tupac) game it a nice vibe. I only ordered beverages but loved both of them. The dirty chai was the best I've ever tasted! Gold Star 100% top notch winner winner tea for dinner!!! I also got the Monkey Business cold frappe. It is a perfect blend of bananas, vanilla and cinnamon. Not as good as the dirty chai but still excellent in its own right! I left very impressed and wanting more. read more

"It's not just Medusa that I have to fear," Diana of the Wild Isle, Daughter of Circe, and the Last of the Amazons, reminds herself as she steps confidently towards danger in Kelly Thompson and Mattia De Iulis's Absolute Wonder Woman Annual #1 (2026). "First, it will be her sisters. Stheno and Euryale. Gorgons...'Dread monsters' in the oldest texts....And yet, they have stayed by their sister's side, even though a glance from her would turn them into stone. That is love," Diana realizes, even as she contemplates that, soon, the misty cave floor under her feet will be beset with violence, meted out by Medusa's sisters, before Diana even gets a chance to explain that she is trespassing in the hopes of obtaining for Medusa the ultimate form of social justice: permanent chances for her to "look other soul[s] in the eyes...and be seen." The Black female ownership, the management, and the staff at Love Life Cafe, a snug coffee house nestled at 929 Washington Blvd in Laurel, Maryland, are fully aware how being seen is intertwined with social justice, kindness, and customer service. Black artists' drawings and paintings, some of which are for sale, adorn the walls, including "Wakanda Forever," featuring Chadwick Boseman, whom the world heartbreakingly lost too soon to cancer; "Say Their Names: Black Lives Matter," featuring Sandra Bland; whom her communities bitterly lost to police brutality; and, in a hope-filled change of pace, "Looking Up at Greatness," depicting two-year-old Parker Curry's recognition and wonder at seeing Amy Sherald's portrait of Michelle Obama at the National Portrait Gallery in March of 2018. So far, my wife has enjoyed a life-sized latte with extra hot cardamom oat milk; a life-sized cafe au Lait with the same; an açaí bowl, minus the honey and adding kiwi, pineapple, and mango; and a life-sized Hollaback Girl latte. Meanwhile, I was thrilled to devour a banana, cinnamon, and vanilla frappe appropriately dubbed "Monkey Business." read more

Love Life Cafe in Laurel is a fantastic spot with a genuinely inviting atmosphere and excellent customer service. From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel right at home. I'm always on the lookout for solid plant-based meals, so I was thrilled to see that their menu features plenty of vegan options for wraps and handhelds. I ordered the chickpea wrap, and it absolutely delivered--it was heavily loaded, super filling, and packed with great flavors. Their coffee is also very good and paired perfectly with the food. There are only two main reasons this isn't quite a 5-star rating for me. First, the prices do lean a bit on the higher end for a cafe. Second, while their savory vegan options are great, they unfortunately don't have any vegan desserts to finish off the meal. One of the standout features of this cafe, though, is its commitment to the local community. The walls are covered with incredible pieces by local artists, which gives the space such a wonderful, creative energy. They even host an artist meetup every Saturday at 1:00 PM for anyone interested in connecting. Overall, Love Life Cafe is a solid 4-star experience. It has great food, a wonderful vibe, and is definitely worth checking out! read more

My second time at love life Café, and I'm still happy with their food and service. I met up with a friend for lunch a few days ago and ordered one of their pressed juices and Vegan Chicken Caesar wrap. The wrap was delicious! It had vegan chicken, red onions, tomatoes, pepperoncini, kale, and was topped off with a vegan Caesar dressing. It was filling and the dressing had a nice citrusy flavor to it. It was light but filling. The wrap is served cut in half and one half was enough to satisfy my hunger. The Liver lover pressed juice contained beets, apples, oranges, lemon, and ginger. It wasn't too sweet and was quite refreshing. This café isn't too noisy so bringing a laptop or tablet to get some work done would work out just fine here. read more

This dope black female owned coffee cafe spot is definitely a great vibe with the walks decorated in great black art. Its located on an adjacent portion of the Laurel shopping center. The impressive menu of interesting enthused caffienated or non options are many. The staff was very much attentive busy at work preparing the selections of the patrons. I chose the regular acai bowl and the 16oz Camp fire Night iced latte w/oatmilk(its a seasonal favor). I absolutely enjoyed my purchase. This place offers a very relaxed and quiet atmosphere with abundance of seating. The environment is conducive to sitting with the dazzling sun enjoying the moment at the high top or seating low chairs, doing a little reading or work on your computer. The options are up to you but the vibe and setting is everything. While sitting here enjoying my acai bowl and latte, I watched the lady come in with more beautiful black art pieces. Not that I looked specifically to seek out a female owned cafe during National female month; it was my pleasure to have patronized a dope black female owned business. I highly recommend anyone to come and visit this uplifting cafe. It definitely lives up to its name " LOVE LIFE CAFE"/ LOVE LIFE COFFEE. read more

The perfect place in Laurel to grab a quick match, coffee, or pressed juice! It's a friendly atmosphere with personable staff. My favorite bite on the menu is the curry chickpea wrap. It's flavorful and filling! The matcha is pretty tastey and there are several flavors to add to the mix to have it made to your liking. There's also a run club that meets at the coffee shop routinely to encourage fitness in the community. I thoroughly enjoy my visit each time! I'll be back for a pressed juice and curry chickpea wrap. read more

This is my go to cafe in Laurel. I love the artwork and ambiance every time I visit. Recently I tried the pesto salad and wasn't all that impressed. I understand it's a healthy menu but me and my colleagues thought it could use more flavor. It's still a refreshing dish but I would go for the toast which is my favorite item on their menu, specifically the tomato. My favorite coffee order: chai tea latte + almond milk + cookie butter. read more

Love Life Cafe - Pesto Noodle Bowl - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

Upon entering the coffee shop, it felt welcoming and the artwork around the shop was fascinating and I was pleased to know it's from a local artist. The place is clean and beautifully decorated. The menu selection is vegan and healthy focused. The names for the drinks were fitted and shows creativity and a playful way of catching one's attention. For my drink, I ordered "How Nuts Are You? Blend of Pistachio-Hazelnut Latte topped with a White Chocolate Drizzte, Cinnamon & I chose Oatmilk. Although I thought I had asked for Almond Butter & Jam Toast on sourdough, I got the Avocado Toast. Rather than complain I told my friend I would be open minded & try it out. Even though I am not a man of avocado I was pleasantly surprised on how tasty it was but I def would have not chosen that for breakfast. My friend got a Love bomb (which is a non-coffee drink) along with Banana toast. We were both pleased and likely to return. read more

Love Life Café Review Definitely a nice atmosphere to sit, have coffee, or bring your laptop to get some work done. I ordered the Dirty Chai with banana flavoring -- it was about $10 and tasted pretty good! I probably should've added an extra shot for a stronger kick, but overall it was a great experience. I'll definitely be visiting again! #LoveLifeCafe #CoffeeLovers #CafeVibes #DirtyChai #MiamiEats #CafeReview #WorkAndSip #CoffeeBreak read more

Because of the reviews, I was super excited to try this cafe. However, I am not 100% sold on it. I had the "Only Tea N' You" and the Banana Toast. Both were a 2.9/5. Nevertheless, the service was great and I like the ambiance/vibe of the cafe! read more

One of my favorite cafes in Maryland! My drinks are always excellent and the baristas are very friendly! Fun seasonal coffees but if you're looking for something healthy they've got good pressed juices as well. Plenty of seating inside and never too overcrowded. Plus I love all the Black art on the walls! Free parking is available and it's great that they're open a little bit late. I return often to support this Black owned business. read more

Needed an energy boost and found this super cute BO Vegan coffee shop! The menu is abundant and there is something for everyone that is looking for a healthier alternative meal and drink. I love how inviting the space is as soon as you walk in! The staff is cordial and helpful. Plenty of seating available. And I absolutely adored all of the artistic touches throughout the Cafe! You can tell that someone put a lot of time and love into this space and it works exceptionally well! I chose to order a drink from the seasonal menu called A Link to the Past as decaf and half sweet with oat milk in the iced 12 oz option. It was perfect! I grabbed the Local Tomato Toast as my breakfast/brunch option and it was so delicious! OMG. I wish I had of ordered another one to go! I did grab an overnight carrot cake quinoa bowl and a liver lover juice to go. I've never had a sweetened version of quinoa and now I want to try it that way more often! So good! The juice was tasty, too! There is ample parking in the lot. The prices were on par considering the ingredients and the quality of food that is offered there. I was told to try the same toast but with avocado spread vs pesto the next time as a nice switch up. I'll keep that in mind! I live in NoVa but travel to the Laurel area maybe infrequently. I will definitely make this a staple stop every time I visit now and can't wait to try something else new! If you are vegan/vegetarian or just looking for clean eating options, definitely give this sweet cafe a try and feel the love for yourself. read more

I love this place & always stop by whenever I'm in town. You can't go wrong w anything on their menu. I've had pastries, breakfast sandwiches , & their butternut squash soup which was 10/10 amazing!

Love Life Cafe - Hummus Avocado Toast -- 15/10 so good ! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

I lucked up a found this black owned cafe while looking for a Tropical Smoothie Cafe which is directly next door. I decided to give this cafe a try and I am so glad I did. The cafe has amazing artwork and decor on the wall. I ordered a açaí bowl and decided to add the avocado toast to eat on my drive back home. While waiting for my order, I noticed a community board in which I added my business card. My açaí bowl was so good. I wasn't a fan of the avocado toast as it just didn't suit my taste buds. I will definitely return when in the area. read more

First, let me just say it was my first time here. It was not busy and the staff was extremely helpful. I ordered a drink and one of their bowls. It was my first time having either one, and they both tasted healthy as hell! They both tasted good as well. It's a rather small place, but it has free Wi-Fi. Lots of selections for tea, coffee and chai. A good amount of food selections and a good amount of space to sit down in. I will be going back. read more

Really dope coffee spot! Beautiful artwork and great vegan options. I got what people recommended and spent $18 on the cookies and cream Frappuccino with Oatmilk (which only comes in one size which was fine although they do charge extra for Oatmilk) and the almond butter and jam toast on sourdough. Everything was delicious and pretty fairly priced considering inflation I guess. Came with a friend and stayed until they closed. Great spot for people who work remote to come and chill. Customer service was good and my order came quickly. They do use paper straws which is better for the environment, but they do get warped pretty easily. If you get the toast, make sure you ask them to cut it in half ! Highly recommend. read more

I was traveling to attend a celebration of life and was in dire need of coffee before the services. I prefer patronizing a local spot versus a chain, whenever convenient. My default order is a dirty chai when I go out to a new place for coffee. Their dirty chai with cardamom oat milk was the best I've had in a long time! So good I had to go back and try another coffee just to see if that was good too. Navi's Nektar is also worth a try with the unique combination of ube lychee for the macchiato. Staff is friendly and space is nice with a couple comfortable chairs you really sink into to enjoy your beverage of choice. read more

Can't believe I never have tried this place! Amazing little vegetarian cafe in Laurel, excellent food

When I came across this trendy specialty coffee shop a few months ago, I promised myself to check it out the next time I'm in town. I was determined to fit it in my schedule despite the busyness of graduation season. The Love Life Cafe was established to uplift and inspire the community, to create a space for people to meet and experience fine coffees, fresh pressed juices, and healthy vegan forward food options made with puuure l-o-v-e. I really do love businesses with positive affirmations or messaging in their decor. It creates an upbeat, welcoming and encouraging atmosphere. This woman-owned cafe is located in the Laurel Shopping Center across from Route 1, which is easy to get to and parking was available. I stepped into a lovely love-filled oasis. The staff were magnificent...very patient with me since it was my first time. I ordered a strawberry rose latte from the menu then saw the sample toasts displayed in the glass and picked the avocado toast (includes marinated tomato, pickled onion, crispy garlic) later on I ordered the coffee cake. Overall, my experience was terrific. The coffee and food was sooo delicious and all freshly made. Loving my life to the fullest! So whenever, you're in Laurel please show some LOVE to Love Life Cafe :o) read more

Hey friends! This is my second trip here but my first time dining in. I really enjoyed my time here. I ordered a mocha matcha latte($7). I want to highlight the amazing customer service at this cafe. The barista felt my drink needed a sweet touch so she added vanilla to my drink. I really appreciate her effort to ensure I loved my drink. The drink was amazing and I'll now ask for that shot of vanilla in my latte. The owner also offered us samples of their most popular juices. We tried the Eye See Sunshine and Liver Lover. They both were refreshing and tasted amazing. Interior is cozy, welcoming, and eclectic. Parking is limited and free. Cafe was clean and well stocked. This was the perfect spot for my meeting. I'll now be a regular at this cafe! Enjoy! With love, The Picky Pescatarian read more

Absolutely amazing! Was coming through the area from out of state for a family wedding. Stopped by for lunch. The most amazing sandwiches ever! I don't even really like sandwiches. I had the curry chickpea and cauliflower wrap. So tasty! The flavor combinations are exquisite! My husband had the LLC wrap. The special summer peach tea was perfectly sweetened - not like KoolAid but not bitterly unsweet. Decor is beautiful; service is great - knowledgeable, patient and kind. We thought about the food all day and came back for a sandwich to take home on our way out of town. Kudos! Totally recommend! read more

We were pleasantly surprised to discover a vegan/vegetarian café during our visit to the area. There were plenty of delicious options on the menu. We enjoyed the Acai Bowl and the Breakfast Croissant, both of which tasted fresh and were packed with great flavors. We would definitely return to try more items. The service was excellent, and our food arrived relatively quickly, though the Acai Bowl took a bit longer, which was understandable because of the use of fresh ingredients.

This is my second experience at this café. The first time being new to the experience, I was unable to order from the kiosk because the drink was not listed. No problem! I ordered with the young lady at the register. She was very helpful and I was able to order. The drink came out hot but the barista was not the friendliest but no sweat because the drink was good. Fast forward today..... great experience at the counter and same lackluster experience with the barista. She even caught an attitude with a lady inquiring about her drink. The drink - lukewarm at best! I drove out of the parking lot and got around the corner before I took a sip. A waste of $9 because it was not drinkable read more
