I tried this place after passing by it for years. I have been missing out! They have a variety of items to pick from. Anywhere from wraps, paninis, salads, bowls, etc. I tried the garlic chicken pesto panini and it was so delicious. I also ordered the chicken Cesar salad wrap but was given the wrong wrap. I wanted to say something but it was actually pretty good and they were very busy so I was considering those factors. I am so happy I tried this place and will definitely be back to try many more items. It gets pretty packed so be ready to wait especially around lunch hours. read more

I love the caramel macchiato. It has the perfect amount of caramel !!!! It's way better than Starbucks. The coffee flavor is bold and delicious. I recommend getting it hot because it intensifies the caramel flavor. read more

OK so this is a way better and more affordable Panera Bread and I can see why they're so popular. Didn't realize they were attached to the Plaza West Covina Mall but it's a great option for lunch/midday snack since the options are endless. I was craving a Caesar salad wrap and was not disappointed by their rendition of it. My husband really enjoyed his steak and mushroom panini. The ambiance is very much grab and go but they have outdoor seating and is dog friendly. Their pastries and cakes looked fantastic as well. You can't go wrong here and I wish I had a place like this near home! Service was also very personable and efficient! read more

This popped on up on FYP on TT a while ago and i've been here a handful of times. It's delicious and for the price it's amazing! The owners and staff are kind and quick with service even though there's sometimes a wait. My go to order is the Spicy California Caesar Wrap - a dupe for the viral Caesar Wrap from Ggiata. I think it's honestly better & cheaper! I got a Strawberry Cold Foam Coffee Latte. The coffee here is also good more on the sweet side. The cafe is inside/outside the mall with more seating outside but, I prefer take out. read more

I came here on Wednesday at 7:25pm and they close their kitchen at 7:30pm (mall closes at 8 pm weekdays). I absolutely love that they have a fitness section of the menu and I can say the food is delicious and also healthy. Clean and affordable foods are definitely my favorite! Muscle Bowl - It's a simple bowl coming with chicken, black beans, avocados, multi-grained rice and hummus. Perfect combo with moist and juicy chicken. This is a solid bowl to hit your macros and keep calories on the low. Love it. (4.5/5) Mass Builder Wrap - It fills you up and is pretty heavy even though its built with healthy ingredients. It's delicious and totally worth the $12. It almost was like the protein bowl put inside a burrito tortilla and pressed with a panini press. Comes with salsa and some chili sauce. It's great! (5/5) Royal Cookie - I got a cookie for free and it tasted like it was made in the morning. It was good, slightly tasting like it was getting older but can't complain when its free. Flavors were on point and it did taste a bit healthier than a regular chocolate chip cookie. Delicious. (4/5) Overall if you want healthy and tasty food this is a great spot located in the West Covina Plaza (the mall). The breakfast items look good too and will have to try that out next time around. Note - If you post and tag them on social media you get a free royal cookie. They gave me two cookies since it was the end of day! read more

Ordered via uber eats. I ordered a steak and mushroom panini, 1/2 Asian salad, royal cookie and a side of chipotle sauce. The panini was tasty and flavorful. The salad okay. I did like how it had julienned carrots and other veg. Asian dressing was your typical Asian dressing. The cookie was a decent size and tasty. I would order again so I can try the other sandwiches. I'll probably skip the salad in the future. read more

Corey or Cory, the manager, is just an all around understanding person. I ordered from DoorDash recently and there was an item that did not have bacon listed on the description, but when I bit into it I got a mouth full of bacon. I'm Muslim and do not eat pig, so I called him up and he was genuinely apologetic and really went above and beyond. Very respectful and cares about their customers.

They have so many delicious and healthy options. My normal go to is the chipotle chicken avocado panini which is literally a 12/10!

Came for lunch today (Monday afternoon). There was a bit of a line but it moved quickly. Limited seating but if dining in, the service was so wonderful as they brought the food to our table and picked up empty plates when they could. The food was delicious! We ordered a latte which was done very quickly and exactly how I liked it. We got two paninis and a salad and they were all great. At the end, we were able to enjoy a dessert which was just the cherry on top! The workers were all very nice and service was excellent. Can't wait to come back again and try more of the food - definitely recommend this place to everybody. read more

cafe Valer is currently my new food/Panini obsession. I've only done takeout from here twice, but both of my experiences were so positive that I felt the need to write a review for this hidden gem. It's located inside the West Covina Mall. I've ordered the chicken buffalo Panini and the jalapeño sirloin steak Panini. Both were so flavorful and made to perfection. The flavor in both of the Panini's were so well balanced, and in every bite there was an equal amount of chicken veggies and cheese (same with the sirloin steak Panini - each bite had a perfect well balanced bite of steak, cheese, and all the other yummy ingredients within). I think this place is so delicious - it might have ruined all other Panini places for me. 10/10 would 100% come again. read more

I was visiting this area for work, and this spot at the mall was highly recommended. Apparently it blew up as a hidden gem on TikTok recently...which does explain the wait time. Everyone was nice. The cashier answered my few questions. I went at 1:30p, which is late lunch imo. They were not understaffed, but the staff lacked a sense of urgency. After a 25 minute wait, I got my sandwich; I did not have time to snap a picture bc I had 5 minutes left of my break. Now every single beverage was quick, fast, ready!!!! It's a small spot at a mall, so my expectations were as expected! Clean space, minimal seating, but the outside area is nice. My turkey, spinach, and avocado sandwich was yummy. I did not know what to expect because the menu that's posted has minimal description and so does the Yelp post. read more

The food was okay, but definitely overpriced for what we received. We also ordered water and were not told that we were being charged $2 per bottled water. I think customers should be informed about additional charges before being served. What bothered us the most was that as soon as our food came out, the owner placed the check on the table--even though we hadn't even started eating yet. It made us feel rushed and unwelcome. The food itself was just okay, but the poor customer service and overall experience made it not worth the price. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.

I recently had the pleasure of dining here and I must say, it was an incredible experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality. The atmosphere was charming. It's the perfect place for a nice outing and suitable for both small meetups and huge gatherings with friends or family. The menu offers a wide variety of options to suit every palate. Whether you're a fan of complex meals or prefer classic comfort food, they have something for everyone. The ingredients were fresh, and the flavors were exquisite. The service was exceptional as well. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, ready to provide recommendations or accommodate special requests. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience, I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment. It's a place where good food meets great service, and I can't wait to return for another fantastic meal. read more

Cafe Valer is an absolute gem! Every visit feels like a treat, starting with their delicious vanilla bean latte topped with strawberry foam--it's perfectly balanced, creamy, and honestly unforgettable. The spicy Caesar wrap is another standout: bold, flavorful, and satisfying every single time. What truly sets Cafe Valer apart, though, is the service. The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely cares about your experience. Even on the rare occasion something isn't quite right, they always go above and beyond to fix it and make sure you leave happy. That level of care and consistency is rare and so appreciated. If you're looking for amazing drinks, great food, and service that makes you feel valued, Cafe Valer is the place to go. Highly recommend! read more

Café Valer (West Covina Mall) is a nice, low-key spot for a quick bite or coffee break while shopping. Nothing over-the-top, but everything felt fresh, simple, and comfortable. The highlight for me was definitely the Royal Cookie--so good! Soft, flavorful, and honestly worth coming back for on its own. They also have a solid variety of drinks, sandwiches, and desserts that make it an easy go-to. Service stood out--Marina was super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. As for ambiance, it's a casual mall café setup, so not a ton of seating space, but it works if you're grabbing something quick or taking a short break. Overall, a reliable and pleasant spot with great service and a standout treat. read more

I recently visited Cafe Valer, and it was an exceptional experience. The staff and owner were incredibly kind, making the atmosphere warm and inviting. The panini sandwiches were a highlight--possibly the best I've ever had. The coffee had a delightful roasted flavor, and the smoothie was a burst of delicious, natural flavors without any overwhelming added sugars. Even the vegetarian sandwich was a delightful surprise. I'm so impressed that I can envision making the 40-minute drive from my house just to indulge in these sandwiches. I'll definitely be returning every chance I get. read more

I was quite disappointed with my recent dining experience. The food was only halfway decent, but what really let me down was when I requested lemonade without ice. Instead of receiving a full glass, they only filled it about three-quarters of the way. It felt like they were skimping on the drink just because I asked for no ice. On top of that, there was no seating available inside, so we had to sit outside. Unfortunately, we were bitten by bugs while sitting on the patio, which made the experience even more uncomfortable. Overall, it was a very disappointing outing. read more

My husband and I go to Cafe Valer every weekend. There was one time our meal wasn't up to par (they have great standards because the food is always so good and well portioned) We mentioned our issue to an employee who had their manager come to our table and talk about what was wrong. She had great customer service and was very relatable/personable. Aileen/Eileen thank you for taking the time to speak and take care of us. We will always go back to this place. read more

Well, Yelp lied to me... sort of. At least the gorgeous pictures on Yelp seem to have lied to me…read more I thought this was an ice cream and coffee shop that also served some breakfast along with lunch sandwiches. Technically, that is correct, but also not totally so. You see, most of the breakfast items are made in tiny little ovens and a grill, both of which look kind of beat up. The place wasn't dirty at all, but it felt kind of run down. It's just the vibe I was getting. The two women handling service and cooking were pleasant enough. They were friendly and eager to please. Sadly, the food didn't please me. I was warned that due to their location next to a Starbucks, they contractually in their lease cannot foam their milk, so the lattes are not lattes and they have no cappuccino. The brown sugar "latte" I got was okay, though, even if it was just sweetened coffee. The food, however, wasn't my cup of tea. On Yelp, the waffles look like two mini waffles with berries and powdered sugar. That might've been how it was once made, but not anymore. Now it is drenched in cookie butter (which is just like a caramel syrup) and then topped with the berries. It is just too sweet for my tastes. It also doesn't help that they only have plastic disposable cutlery which can barely saw through the waffle, making for an awkward dining experience. The biggest problems were the sides. The potatoes were an extremely skimpy portion and didn't taste all that great. The bacon smelled terrible when they made it in a pan in a broiler. It smelled rancid. It didn't taste much better, and I ended up getting sick and feeling queasy most of the rest of the day. I wish I had liked it more. I know Yelp recently did an Elite event here, and I wish I had been chosen for that so I could've saved my own money. Sadly, while I'd like to be able to recommend the place for the nice owners / workers, I cannot. The food is subpar, I cannot recommend, and I really doubt I'd come back. Sorry, but that's my opinion.

The first time I went in there I played it safe with a lemonade and I have to say it's a 10/10 and not to mention the croissant, not only is was it delicious but it was fresh!

This coffee felt like dessert. (Quick Note: If you print a photo on a drink, it's not travel friendly. Staff recommends that printed photo beverages are enjoyed on site.) I arrived at Bake Sale Cafe (Azusa) on a weekday (around 7:12AM). I quickly found parking in the business's customer parking lot. This coffee shop has poor visibility despite being a brisk drive from Azusa Pacific University. Staff (receipt says Stephanie) is professional, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Stephanie easily and respectfully answered all my questions. Stephanie also worked hard. My coffee took about six minutes. As mentioned, I enjoyed the Horchata Latte (Large - 20oz - $7.45 - 3 Shots of Espresso) with Pink Printed Photograph (additional $2) and Vanilla Cold Foam (extra $1.25). The top tasted like melted vanilla ice cream, and the coffee tasted clean & fresh despite the sugary aftertaste. This drink has POWER despite its prim, cutesy appearance. I felt my fingers jitter throughout the day as the sugar and THREE SHOTS of espresso slammed into me. YUM! On ambiance, Bake Sale Cafe (Azusa) is very clean and adorable with its light pastel colors. There's about five tables and two counters. And there's a high chair for kids & a water station. Bake Sale Cafe (Azusa) also has utility. This is a great, hidden spot to study. There's about five electrical outlets with big adapters for extra slots and USB ports. There's customer internet with password; there's also a QR code that customers can scan for internet information. Also, there's a gender neutral customer restroom just outside; customers must ask Staff for the restroom keys. The location is very clean and comfortable. Overall, Bake Sale Cafe (Azusa) is a literal hidden gem. Despite the bad visibility, there's visible passion and effort at this business. If curious, this is a very easy recommendation. 4.8 out of 5
