Love to Go • Coffee • Tea • Croffle • CottonCandy Cake • Party Favors — Restaurant in San Gabriel

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 didn't 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 wasn't 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 someone's 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 party's order, I didn't get the receipt. Unfortunately, I wasn't 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 didn't 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 wasn't 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 didn't like how the menu wasn't 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 couldn't 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 didn't 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 don't think I will be...

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...

Been going here since 2018. The service is great and Sundi (the owner) is amazing and friendly. They stay open pretty late which is perfect for people who enjoy staying out at night. The finger food and snacks she makes are delicious, especially the waffle with nutella, strawberries, and ice cream!

The other random purchasable gifts around the store are thoughtful, creative, and even funny, like funny toilet paper gift rolls, pins, and party favors. Definitely worth checking out, and buying a quick gift for the person you're thinking of.

But for me and everyone I bring here, the lattes are incredible and the stars of the show. I often get a hot earl grey tea latte here. The froth is perfect and it's like I'm drinking Fruity Pebbles.

The lattes and coffee here are yummy as fk fr fr on god no cap sheeeeeeeeeeeeeee

(But forreal tho, their drinks are so good we legit requested them to make their matcha lattes and earl grey lattes for 200 guests as dessert drinks for our wedding reception...
