Love Birds Cafè — Restaurant in Corpus Christi

I always try small business when I go to new places, but it is these types of experiences that makes you not want to; so before I ordered I asked questions. I wanted an iced caramel macchiato. I asked if it came w/whipped cream, and she stated yes and w/caramel drizzle. I stated that would be fine w/the whip cream, but not drizzle, light ice, and upside." When I received my drink the cup is full of large pieces of ice, no whip cream, and it was not "upside-down" (meaning the espresso should be on the top, not the bottom). When I stated something about the whip cream, the young lady states that it only comes on their Mocha drinks and I was confused when that is not what she first told me. Then my assistant that was w/ me wanted to order their macaroons and was told that they were 2 for $5, so she wanted one of each kind that they had. But no, they do not sale them that way; you would have to buy each flavor individually and could not combine the two which is not customer service friendly from my point of view, but hey whatever. In the end, this was not the best experience, but not the worst. Then I see that I am being educated on what "upside-down" entails...most coffee shops/cafés and chains make their macchiato w/the espresso at the bottom of the cup as is standard. Therefore, I should have taken a picture to show that is what I received and not what I requested; which was "upside-down." I have even included a few pictures to show how macchiato are usually made and how I received mine. In addition, I added one on how it should have been made...

I moved to this area in November from Austin and I left a very wonderful local coffee shop that had the best customer service there, I was so worried when I moved here I wouldn’t find it. I was so thankful to find love birds. After maybe a few days of coming in every morning they knew my drink and name. They knew my car and most mornings were outside with my drink before I even parked in the curbside spot. As a mommy the curbside came in handy and made my life a million times easier. The customer service was always personal and pleasant. This is a family owned business and you feel it. You can tell they truly care. To me this means a lot to me and put a smile on my face so many times and makes me feel good my money is helping support a local family business versus going to a greedy chain. Now, the coffee is out of this world 100/10 every single cup. The espresso gets u GOING and has such a good nutty flavor it pairs so well with mocha. They have so so so many options and flavor combinations. Everyone who I took here loved it. Im moving away and feel very sad leaving and hoping my new neighborhood will have something half as amazing to fill this void. This will be a must detour everytime we visit the beach and I will truly miss them...

Not sure what has happened in the past but I believe in always making it better.

The location can be deceiving because this is definitely a hidden gem.💎

Upon walking in they’ve created an uplifting feeling with fall decor and plenty of seating. I absolutely love açaí bowls and coffee and they nailed both.

I searched a coffee place and though they did not have five stars I decided to try for my own opinion and I’m so glad I did!!!!

The açaí bowl I choose has strawberries 🍓, 🫐 blueberries and bananas 🍌. I added chia seeds and topped with organic honey. Delicious!😋

I normally stick to my vanilla latte with ☕️ coffee but today I asked the owner to be creative and she did not disappoint. I told her my faves and preferred drink and she created a masterpiece! I had a 24oz so that included 4 espresso shots and she even made sure I was okay with that before making my drink. I also used oatmilk and it was still amazing!!!!!

Stop by if you can, I’d definitely travel 30 minutes just to have this place!

I’ve had coffee and bowls all over Texas, so I can tell you this one hit both targets...
