    Breakfast burrito - amazing, there is a bowl option too. Salsa is perfect!
    Catherine S.

    Been here 3x in less than a month. An incredible spot!! Vibes are immaculate, especially when there is a dj mixing songs with physical records (so cool & unique). It is a chill environment with friendly and attentive staff. Food is amazing. I have gotten the breakfast burrito twice and breakfast burrito bowl once. It's addicting. The ingredients are of high quality and very fresh. Potatoes have incredible seasoning and crunch. Coffee is delicious. Iced latte, iced latte with sugar free vanilla syrup, and blueberry latte are all very delicious. This is a perfect spot with my friends after our workout. We drive 16mins from La Verne to come here almost every Saturday because it's so good!!

    Very cool vibe!! Came in on a Sunday. The DJ was playing good vinyls. Coffee was really tasty. I ordered an iced latte with cold foam and the chili oil toast. Service was quick and easy. food came out pretty quickly. All the staff working that day were super friendly. Loved the positive flow. Use to be a different cafe, definitely liking this new restaurant and concept for this spot.

    Chili oil pork belly

    I was so happy to find out a new spot opened up in the hood. We were pleasantly surprised when we walked in and saw the Dj booth and cute aesthetic. We went on a Saturday morning and there was only 1 server who was very kind and gracious. I ordered the porkbelly and eggs with chili oil. It was good. I'd probably try something else on my next visit. The coffee was great. I do wish there were a few more options on the menu but I appreciate this location.

    The ideal find for our record thrifting Saturday meetup: a few buddies recently got into the vinyl scene and asked where we could go to look for used and new records. I suggested a few stops in and around Covina, so I went to Yelp to find a good spot to grab breakfast first. The name caught my attention and upon a quick Yelp look, it made for an easy decision. We sat outside but the inside is pretty cool - full DJ setup and lots of albums. I ordered the pork belly and a side of potatoes for the table to split. And, a latte of course: The pork belly was... mmmmm.... so, so good. Crispy and seasoned and hot. The greens were a nice complement to the salty goodness of main dish. The potatoes were also quite good but my only comment was that they used the same seasoning as the pork belly and it was a little heavy on the potatoes. Don't get me wrong, they were good but it was the same note twice. The latte was solid. And, the location made for the perfect meetup spot. Fast forward two hours and I ended the day with 4 new records to add to my collection and a great new spot to tell others about trying near downtown Covina.

    Iced Chaga Matcha Latte and Matcha Latte with oat milk.

    We stopped by on an early morning looking for matcha drinks. This establishment is located in downtown Covina. You can park on the street or in the garage. They are only open from early morning to lunch time. When we came it was not too busy. We were greeted right away and were there to order some drinks to go. I liked the environment. It gave a chill and relaxing vibe. The music was low enough where you can have a conversation with the person sitting across from you. I ordered a Chaga Matcha Latte, iced and with oat milk. My husband ordered the Matcha Latte, iced and with oat milk too. My drink had more of an earthy flavor with hint of sweetness from the oat milk. I enjoyed it very much because I finished it drink within minutes. Overall, I wouldn't mind coming back to try their brunch menu.

    Matcha Latte & Chaga Matcha. YUMMY! ( ^_^)b

    We came by early on a Saturday morning just to try out some of the drinks. The location has parking on the street and a parking garage nearby. The vibe has a cool atmosphere. They have good music playing the entire time. The staff took care of us and made us feel welcomed the whole time. We decided on the Chaga Matcha and Matcha Latte both with oat milk. Side note: milk substitutions are free of charge. Huge plus! :) They have countertop seating and a few tables inside to dine in. Also the outside patio has 3-4 tables. We stayed inside to drink our drinks and I really enjoyed it. My Matcha Latte was tops. I loved the matcha balance with the sweetness so it wasn't too bitter. Every sip was delicious. Overall, Full Circle has a great energy and I'd be down to come by again to try their breakfast/brunch items next visit! ( ^_^)b

    Pork belly with eggs. Fried potatoes. Breakfast burrito.
    Diana Z.

    Can you believe they've only been open for 9 months? This hidden gem is worth a try and beware because you'll be hooked! Great service, delicious food and yummy drinks. Parking wasn't hard to find on an early Sunday morning but from the looks of it there's so much parking options like the parking structure, street parking and parking across the street. Family owned restaurant and the owners were so helpful/kind with my questions. I loved the vibe inside as they were playing some oldies. Looking forward to coming again.

    Pork belly and eggs
    Hannah L.

    I selfishly want to gate keep this new establishment, but I have to share how great our family breakfast experience was with the two kiddos. Food is 11/10. Portions are all shareable! We got the pork belly and eggs main, which came with two thicc cut deep fried pork belly, choice of egg preparation, grilled bread, and a side salad that was dressed in a delicious vinaigrette. The egg breakfast sandwhich was packed! I saved half for later. For sides, we got some crispy and tender potatoes and tasty cinnamon toast accompanied by mascarpone. It's unassuming at first, but the subtle balance of sweetness and cinnamon comes in on the back end. My kids loved these. Service was friendly and attentive. We came with our toddler, and were asked if we'd like a plastic cub for her water. I liked that it was reusable. We ordered a lot of food to try out the menu. There was only one person working of the beverages, so that came a little slower than the food, but I didn't mind. I was enjoying tunes by Daniel Cesar, Brent Fayaz and H.E.R. Ambience and vibes hands down exceeded expectations. I love how they repainted the inside a Hunter green with green accent wallpaper. It complemented the warm wood tones of the vinyl shelf and dj set up in the back. This place is really crafted for the person who appreciates good music, great food and quality coffee.

    Vanilla latte

    It's rare to be waiting for your food at a restaurant while already thinking about what you'll eat later... but that was me at Full Circle today. I was genuinely excited to try this place given their interesting approach to food and music. I also love any spot that advertises fresh, clean ingredients. Starting with the pros: Full Circle has a beautiful, clean interior and very friendly staff. I loved watching the barista work, it's clear she's talented at what she does. Now for the cons. By 11:30am, they seemed to be running low on many ingredients. They were out of pork belly, potatoes, regular bread, and cinnamon loaf. However, while ordering, we were only told they were out of cinnamon loaf. It wasn't until a few minutes later that we were informed they also didn't have pork belly, bread, or potatoes. I'd understand this more if it were closer to their 2pm closing time... but it was 11:30am. Luckily, they weren't out of coffee, so I ordered a vanilla latte with cold foam, it was overly sweet but good. About 20 minutes later, I received my avocado toast with egg. It was pretty good, but I specifically asked for the pickled onions on the side and was reassured they would be. When it came out, they were all over the egg. I understand restaurants can get hectic, but small details like that can put a damper on the experience, especially after finding out half the menu is unavailable. That said, the toast did taste fresh, and I can't complain about that. I just wish I'd had the chance to try the items I originally ordered. What I can complain about is the price: $50 for two coffees and two fairly small avocado toasts with egg. I'd love to come back and give this spot another try, but I may wait until management has a better handle on keeping ingredients stocked. There's definitely a lot of potential here.

    I wish the cold foam could save the drink

    First time visiting Full Circle right across from Covina City Hall and I really wanted to like it, especially as a local who remembers the previous Mexican spot that used to be here. I'm giving it two stars because the staff, especially the gentleman who helped us, was genuinely kind and welcoming. That part did not go unnoticed. However, the service flow needs work. Our potatoes came out with no utensils and we had to wait until the food was already in front of us to ask for them. No extra napkins were provided, and we were never checked on after the food arrived. We eventually had to flag someone down for the check. None of those things alone would have cost a star, but together they made the experience feel inattentive. The bigger issue was the food. It was extremely bland. Mid bite I genuinely wondered if everything was intentionally under seasoned because there was almost no depth of flavor. When pricing is on the higher side, expectations naturally go up with it, and unfortunately the taste just did not match the cost. The coffee drinks were also disappointing. I love coffee and could not finish mine. There were no basic table additions like salt, pepper, sugar, or creamer readily available, which made it hard to adjust anything to taste. If the concept is meant to be elevated or minimalist, that's fine, but the flavors still need to stand confidently on their own. I chose outdoor seating, which I appreciated for the natural light and quieter vibe, but the exterior could use some attention. It felt a bit unpolished, and hearing the DJ inside gave the space more of a lounge or nightlife feel than a relaxed brunch setting. I can see how some people might enjoy that energy, and clearly the place draws a crowd because there were people waiting. I respect any business investing in the Covina community, and I do wish them success. With stronger seasoning, more attentive table service, and a bit more polish inside and out, this could be a solid neighborhood staple. For now, though, it just didn't land for me.

    OMG you guys!!!!!!!! Wow bomb!!!!!! This place is special, and I know when people start catching on the line is going to be wrapped around the corner. I had the pork belly, eggs, toast and salad and it was made to perfection. Everything about it was so good. That toast was house made and the best toast I've ever had in my life. That pork belly was seasoned to perfection and crispy. The salad was tossed in this light dressing. Everything was just so good. I can't say enough.. I had the lavender Matcha and it was literally one of the best macho I've ever had. Service was excellent! Ambience, cute and simple. With food and service like that, you don't need flashy decor. I 100% recommend.

    Fluffy egg breakfast sandwich
    Mirrella B.

    I was craving a matcha and looked up a new place to try. I found Full Circle Kitchen & Sound on Yelp and read that they were having a soft opening phase. I made my way and was happy to see that there was street parking available as sometimes the downtown area can be very very. I walked in and was seated immediately. The inside has a minimalist vibe. They have about a coffee bar and about 10 tables inside. They also have about 3 tables outside. I was just going to get a drink but was also provided with a food menu. They had a Fluffy Egg Breakfast Sandwich. It sounded good so I went ahead and ordered it. I also asked for a Chaga Matcha and a Vanilla Latte to try. The food came out first. The sandwich was very delicious. The egg indeed was very fluffy. I loved that they provided a chili oil to add to the sandwich. The bread tasted very good. If I remember correctly, they make their own bread! The latte was good. The coffee is on the stronger side, which I liked. The matcha tasted a bit on the sweeter side. The staff was very friendly and checked on me to ensure everything was tasting good. Overall, I would definitely come back to try more items.

    Full circle is giving a total different vibe than its predecessor. Looking for a place to meet up, get some work done, or enjoy a cuppa by yourself? This is the place to come. I love a cute little shop tucked away with good customer service and hot jams.

I walked in, only one person in there, no greeting from the two staff members present. I took a minute to look at the menu because this was my first time. I mentioned that to the cashier, and there was literally no comment, I guess I was kind of expecting a "welcome" or "thanks for trying us out", she just looked at me. I asked what was in a specific listed menu item and she obliged. The drink was made pretty quick and they called my name when it was ready, I walked up and said, thank you and again the woman who made the drink, literally just turned her back and walked away. Needless to say, I would never come back to this location again. It's funny because I looked at the reviews and some people say all the customer services is awesome, so I don't know if it's Monday Blues, or what the situation is but even my daughter who was with me, said thank you when we were leaving and again no response. She literally told me "I said it just to see if they would respond after I heard you say thank you", and there was no response. We gave them several opportunities, with no response. That's too bad, my first impression was really bad from the service staff. I got the Mood Changer espresso, drink, iced. It had a good flavor, but a little on the sweet side, I prefer to taste more of a coffee myself. The shop itself is really cute, they have cute pins on the countertop that they sell with their name inscribed, they have cute cups, as well and T-shirts.

The drink is super smooth and creamy with really strong jasmine and oolong flavors. And the brown sugar mochi jelly??? Boba WHO? It's soft, chewy, and honestly so much better than boba. The best part is that you can even save your drink for the next day and the mochi jelly stays soft instead of getting hard like boba does. I cannot recommend this specific order enough. There's a reason Torotea has expanded so much! I'm not the biggest fan of the Diamond Bar location purely because of the line, so I'd recommend trying one of their other locations if you don't want to wait as long. You can also order online on weekdays to avoid the line, but there is a small online fee. Also shoutout to whoever designed their shops because they absolutely killed the boho vibes. Super cute inside and the perfect place to wait for your drink. There isn't much of a seating area to chat given the line and large volume of traffic. Overall, as I can't emphasize any further, JASMINE OOLING WITH MOCHI JELLY.

The shop has good design bones; it just needs more attention to cleaning and maintenance. The music itself is trendy and current, but it is much too loud for a work-friendly coffee shop, especially because the space is very echoey. I'm including a screenshot of the sound level along with a short video so people can get a sense of it for themselves. I found it basically impossible to concentrate without earplugs or noise-canceling headphones. Seating is also limited and isn't very comfortable. It's mostly hard wooden benches and plastic or metal folding-style chairs. Nothing egregious, but not especially comfortable if you're planning to sit and work for a while. What really started the experience off badly for me was my drink. I ordered an iced matcha for $6.75 and asked if they could do less ice. I was told that if I wanted less ice, the drink would be less full. I said never mind and asked for it to just be filled normally. When I received it, though, my matcha still had noticeably less liquid than my husband's drink. Since they only offer one size for each iced drink, the difference was pretty obvious. We also tipped $1. The matcha itself was just your standard iced matcha -- nothing special -- and definitely didn't feel worth $6.75 to me. My husband's $8 Butterscotch Cream Latte actually tasted good, but after he finished it, we were surprised by how much of the cup was taken up by ice. The photo speaks for itself. Given that I had already been told that requesting less ice would result in a less-full drink, this really diminished the value for me. The bathroom was another big negative. I tend to judge the cleanliness of a business by its restroom, and this one did not give me confidence. The bathroom door and several surrounding surfaces looked like they had not been thoroughly wiped down in quite a while, with visible grime and buildup, and there were also holes in the wall. Even the glass entrance doors had visible smudges and residue. I'm including photos because these things were noticeable and contributed to an overall poorly maintained impression. There were no paper towels available. Instead, an old-looking handwritten sign was taped over the dispenser saying, "Please use the air dryer. Thank you!" I personally avoid hand dryers because of hygiene concerns, so after washing my hands I ended up using toilet paper and a toilet-seat cover so I could open the bathroom door without touching the handle directly. At that point, they might as well remove the paper towel dispenser entirely. Leaving an unused dispenser covered by an aged paper sign just looks lazy and poorly maintained to me, especially in a customer-facing bathroom. Aesthetically, I also wasn't a fan of all the taped-up paper signs. The front entrance has a large paper sign taped directly to the glass saying "PLEASE CLOSE THE DOOR GENTLY. THANK YOU!!!" along with several other smaller notices, and the bathroom has the aged handwritten sign taped over the unused paper towel dispenser. These are small details individually, but together with the visible grime, holes, and neglected surfaces, they made the shop feel more makeshift and poorly maintained than the otherwise nice design deserves. It clearly seems to be a popular spot, and my husband had far fewer complaints and enjoyed his latte. I also think the overall layout and lighting aesthetic have potential. For me, though, the underfilled matcha, ice-heavy drinks, standard-at-best matcha, loud music, limited seating, uncomfortable chairs, and overall cleanliness and maintenance made this a disappointing first visit.
