Nice little place, nice people and cute area around it. You can order online or just walk up and order.The shakes and ice cream are amazing! The snacks like fries and things are pretty good, if a little pricey. The blooming garlic bread is alright, but surprisingly sweet while I was expecting much closer to normal garlic bread.

Great food and drinks! The fully loaded poutine was so good, with sweet shredded pork, avocado, cheese and a fried egg on top! Their cheesecake shake did actually taste like cheesecake, their earl grey tea latte was perfect. You have to place your order online and they’ll text when it’s ready. They have one small table for 2 in front, and a small patio on the side with 4 small tables.

Amazing. I saw this place on TikTok on a food adventure. Facebook kept telling me about these round garlic breads with cream cheese. And today was Chinese New Years and Lincoln’s bday. So the universe came together to make today’s food adventure possible. This place didn’t disappoint. I got the bread. I got the 3D art tea (chai tea with mocha). Amazing!!!

This is my new favorite place in Cali! Every time we come to visit I will make sure to come get food here. The horchata latte was so good and look how CUTE the 3D bear is. The chicken wings were super crispy and the wasabi Mayo dipping sauce was drool worthy. The blooming garlic buns were the shining star of the whole meal. They were sweet and garlicky with a crispy outside and a fluffy inside. I Almost cried when I tried it. Everything here is made with love and you can tell.

I like their menu. Their hot malted milk was delicious. I enjoyed their coconut waffle. (See picture). Cool customer service. I think they need more space though. Cool game room. I’ll come back if I’m around 👍

Wow! What an amazing coffee shop! It is beautifully decorated with inside and outside seating. The outside is somewhat like a greenhouse with plants and a waterfall. The baristas are very kind and nice to all customers. Excellent place to study with many outlets for your laptop. I definitely will be back when Im in LA again.

Love to Go is a cute and local cafe that’s owned by a brother and sister team. I had the honor of meeting the sister owner and she was so friendly and down to earth. They open late (perfect for after dinner dessert/hang out), and everything is made to order so it’s fresh (so please be patient with them!).Love Fruits Twogether is waffles with strawberry and banana, ice cream, and whipped cream. This was HUGE!!! There were three of us and we struggled to finish it but it was so decadent and delicious. People who want to try themselves, this is for you 🤣The Blooming Garlic Bread was so beautiful, I didn’t even want to eat it. Just wanted to enjoy what I was seeing hehe. This item is only available for pre-orders so you know it’s fresh and also limited! It was a sweet and savory garlic bread which is so unique because I’ve never had garlic bread with cream cheese before.We also got the Earl Grey Matcha Latte and the Horchata Latte. Earl grey and matcha is my fave and go-to with drinks so you know I enjoyed this drink!! It was strong and smooth (not powdery like other places). The Horchata Latte tasted like a chai latte but it had a buttery smooth texture and didn’t have an aftertaste. They put my Instagram handle on my latte and I thought it was the cutest thing ever!

Love To Go is a quaint, little, mom and pop café that serves a lot of sweet items and has creative latté art. As much as I want to like Love To Go, there were a few things that just didnt make my experience that great.I came with a party of 3 because I received a coupon to get a free drink with any purchase. This was amazing and pretty much brought me through the (hypothetical) door to try the restaurant. When we arrived at the shop, we wanted to speak with an employee so we could ask about the fine print of the coupon (such as what drinks it applies to and if there was a maximum). Unfortunately, there wasnt an employee to take our orders nor was there a way to ring for their attention. Even after we tried loudly to say excuse me to get someones attention, nobody came out. Therefore, we had to wait until someone noticed us.When an employee came out, we asked our questions and placed our orders. We sat at one of the nearby tables and chatted while our orders were being made. I ordered a smoothie with 3 different types of berries and some agar boba as well as a Nutella waffle. When I finished, I asked the employee for a receipt since I noticed that my total was higher than the stated amount on the menu even after-tax, but after finishing my partys order, I didnt get the receipt. Unfortunately, I wasnt able to get the attention of an employee again so I waited until they brought out our drinks.When the employee brought out my drink, I noticed that they didnt add the boba, so I had to wait for them to come out yet again. When they came out, I informed the employee about the mistake and they were sorry about it and took the drink back to remake. At this point, I also asked about the receipt and they said to wait and they would get it to me right away. It wasnt until after my entire party received our food orders, along with my remade drink, that I finally got my receipt. When I got it, I saw that my waffle was $12.50 when it was stated as $9.95 on the menu. I didnt like how the menu wasnt updated to reflect the new price point, but I figured it was also my fault for not pressing the employee about the pricing difference originally.Regarding the food, I thought the waffle was okay. It had a crispy exterior but was slightly soggy in the middle when I was expecting a fluffy texture. In addition, I couldnt justify paying the $12.50 for it as it was pretty much a regular waffle, smothered in Nutella, with some whipped cream on the side. I understand that they make the waffles fresh, but I felt like the ~25-30 minute wait for our food to come out was a bit excessive.All in all, I didnt enjoy my experience at Love To Go. Due to the gaps in customer service, the quality of the food for the price, the menu pricing mishap, and the inability to call for an employee, I dont think I will be coming back.

So, lets talk about the bad part, the long wait for your order. My wife and I ordered 2 drinks and a chocolate waffle at 5:05pm on this past Sunday. We didnt get our waffle until 5:50pm and we received drinks at 5:59pm! There were 3 ordered before us and only one order has a chocolate cake and the others ordered drinks only. Only the owner was there by herself and Im not sure why orders took that long to prepare.Then why the 4 stars? Since its my first time there, I asked the owner their best items to order. She recommended earl grey with espresso, hazelnut latte, and chocolate waffle. They sounded good, so I ordered them. Drinks are prepared with love and good balance of espresso and tea/hazelnut. You can taste all the flavors and not too sweet. I also ordered a panda 3d art latte. Its cute and good to see it yourself for the first time. I doubt Ill do that again.Overall, if you have time to spare and want to have some good coffee, definitely check this place out.

Super fun, relaxed atmosphere, and they have another building for people to just hang.Interesting food and beverage options, too. Their Earl Grey + Matcha situation is particularly good.Its a great place to just chill and pass time, whether youre studying or spending time with someone.

I dont know where to start, I waited 45 min for a latte, cheese cake slice and a brownie with one ice cream scoop. Not to mention I think all the pastries were bought from a store a few days ago. I paid 23 bucks for her to spend 45 minutes drawing a Christmas tree in my latte. I love waiting 45 minutes for a drawing Im going to drink.

This is a very cute and great Coffee/Tea and dessert joint! I absolutely adore this place! They make some really great waffle dessert topped with ice cream and other goodness! The waffle is perfectly crispy! Their latte art is awesome! You have an option of going for a regular latte art or a 3D latte art (which is of course extra). I opted for a a 3D latte art and found it hard to drink because it was too cute to drink! The green tea latte that I got was really good and I had it done with soy milk (to those who are lactose intolerant). I believe they have open mic on certain days, but Im not sure. I will be coming back here for sure!

Review №37

This place does REALLY cute 3D latte art. They only do 3D latte art if you order unique size. It does take some time to get your latte because only one girl was making latte art.Id give 5 stars for latte art, but I have to give 1 star for the taste. My friends mocha latte and honey tea latte were both way too sweet. They tried to drink it, but couldnt. I ordered sea salt latte because its rare to find sea salt latte on the menu and I dont think I ever had sea salt latte before. It was too salty so I asked to add little caramel but it was still salty. I didnt like my latte at all.

Before visiting this place, I had never had 3D art on my drink. I am used to visiting coffee shops in Echo Park and Silverlake and in those cafes, there are many talented baristas who create beautiful art with the latte foam. Since I enjoy latte art, I decided to check out this place to see what kind of art their drinks have. I was very impressed with the adorable 3D cat made from the foam on top the drink. I really recommend this place. The vibe is very chill and their desserts are delicious.

They overcharge for their cold-ish coffee that tastes old. I didnt know they had given this 5 dollar + product and when i told them i wanted regular coffee they gave looked at me like I was the strange one for wanting hot coffee. They even wanted to charge me additionally! Definitely not coming back

The coffee is ok, I know they charge extra because of the coffee art but the drinks are just ok, more sweet than anything. I wouldnt go out of my way for a drink here but I have been back several times. BUT... all the deserts Ive had here have been pretty damn tasty :D

Nice atmosphere and very pretty desserts. Its a lot more worth it if you get a lot of stuff and share with a bunch of friends so you can try everything :) (b/c its pretty expensive) They were good though; my favorite was the persimmon bingsoo and strawberry ice cream bingsoo -- the bingsoo was TASTY even w/o the syrups/ice cream. Will try to come again, but only with friends.
