Cafe Valer — Restaurant in West Covina

When the besties come visit me, I bring them all here. Its right off the freeway, has a lot of free parking, comfortable cozy vibe, little to no wait, has an outside patio and has a variety of quality menu items. No alcoholic drinks sold here but really good espressos and smoothies. Cafe has an entrance both inside and outside the mall. Which I love because I’m not trying to walk all up inside the mall. You must order and pay for your food upfront but a server will call your name and bring it to you. There is some inside seating, but it gets very noisy from the café hustle and bustle, so I much rather enjoy the outdoor umbrella covered patio. Love me the fresh air. I usually visit sometime between 9AM-1PM on weekdays so there isn’t much wait time. Sometimes though I get the craving on the weekends and do notice the wait is a little longer. I already anticipate it so no harm. Anyhow I would love to tell you that I love all their food options but the truth is I cant. I can’t because every time I come here; I must have one of my favorites. The Mango Habanero Panini & Big Breakfast Burrito (spicy)! Half size or full size this warm cream cheese spicy mango panini is too good. I love me a good breakfast burrito that is spicy and has both bacon and sausage and they have a really good one here. I’m not a fan of beans in breakfast burritos but I love it in...

Discovering New Favorites in West Covina: Café Valer

Since moving from the Bay Area to West Covina, we’ve been exploring the area and discovering new favorite spots. One of these gems is Café Valer, just outside the West Covina Mall, which we had the pleasure of trying today.

We ordered the Spicy Chicken Wrap and the Spicy Sirloin Wrap—both delicious! My daughter and I shared so we could sample different options. The flavors were fresh and savory, and the spice added a perfect kick. Even though we visited during lunchtime when it was busy, the wait was short, and the food was definitely worth it.

We chose to dine in, and I was impressed by the friendly service. The staff brought our food directly to the table and checked in to see if we needed napkins or anything else before they left.

Overall, I’d give Café Valer an 8.5 out of 10. It’s a great spot for a light, tasty lunch, and I’ll definitely be returning! If you’re in West Covina, I’d recommend...

If you have read the reviews; some say it’s a hidden gem and honestly I couldn’t describe it better. It really is a hidden gem! 💎 I recommend the iced matcha latte with oat milk and iced caramel Spanish latter with vanilla cold foam for drinks. ☕️The açaí bowl is great, but better without the agave. The big breakfast burrito and the steak burrito are amazing!!! 🌯 They do amazing with service. My only recommendation is organizing the area near the door where it has stocks of water and drinks, it looks a bit messy and it doesn’t go with the atmosphere while you’re waiting for the drinks. Other than that corner, it’s a cute place where you want to stay and chat with your loved ones. They have an outside patio if you want to bring your dog. I always take my dog with me.🐾 They bring you your food when it’s ready. I really recommend this place. I hope...
