    Hold Cream Coffee (Close Up)
    Ian A.

    Hold Coffee (West Covina) is not awful. I had the Hold Cream Latte ($7 - Menu Price). It's Madagascar Vanilla Bean, Almond, Two Shots of Espresso, Milk, and House Praline Cream. Unfortunately, the coffee tastes very milky and bland. It's weak coffee. I still felt sleepy. (Note: Currently, there's a Soft Open sale. It's 10% off all drinks.) I arrived at Hold Coffee (West Covina) on Tuesday (around 9:15AM). Parking is easy. There's a small, available front lot. Staff is very friendly & welcoming. Staff politely answered all my questions. My drink took one minute and 28 seconds. Fast! As mentioned, I did not love the Hold Cream Latte. It tastes frugal and cheap. This coffee reminds me of those bottled mochas sold in the grocery store. This coffee is forgettable, and I hope the quality improves with time. On ambiance, Hold Coffee (West Covina) is cute and charming. There's also customer internet with password; customers must ask staff for details. However, there's zero electrical outlets; there's no public restroom nor hand sanitizer bottle; and the seats/benches are hard & uncomfortable. There's about three mini stool tables. Fortunately, the location is very clean, and there's upbeat, fun music. Overall, I had an adequate experience at Hold Coffee (West Covina). As it is, I can't recommend this spot; however; I do hope this business improves with time. It's a not awful place. 3.4 out of 5

    I am so happy this cafe is finally open. Covina needed a really good cafe with unique drinks and vibes, and this place is it. They have such a fun drink menu, even with a Covina Latte. I always get the Strawberry Latte because it's not too sweet but still maintains that fresh strawberry flavor. I'm not a big pastry person but after seeing their pastries, i just HAD to. I got the Orange Cranberry scone and every bite was perfect. I love this place and can't wait to see how it evolves with seasonal drinks!!

    A steady stream of customers were coming in to partake in the soft opening of this locally-owned coffee spot. Carolyn and Katie are sisters and jointly opened their dream shop. Fresh baked goods are made in-house daily. The menu has Classic and Signature drinks: Lattes, Espresso, Americano, Cortado, Flat White and Cappuccino. I orderd an Iced Covina Latte from the Signature list ($6.5). It was refreshing, slightly sweet, with Coconut as the main flavor, made with Oat Milk and Cinnamon. Sweetened Condensed Milk was part of the recipe, I thought it might taste more like a "dessert" drink, but it was light and perfect! Non-coffee drinks are: Lemonade, Tea, Sparkling waters (Peach, Guava, Pineapple), and Matcha (Strawberry, Pineapple, or Coconut flavors). A good variety of scones are available, priced at $6 to $6.75 each: Black Sesame, Wild Blueberry, Cranberry-Orange, Cinnamon- Walnut, Madagascar, Vanilla, and savory Applewood Ham with Jalepeno. *During the soft opening, orders are 10% off. *Current hours are Monday through Friday 8am to 3pm., closed weekends. *Free parking in the shared lot. Sincerely, Rosemary

    Visiting this place was like a breath of fresh air. I always get SO EXCITED to check out a new coffee shop, and I am thrilled that it's in this area! The ambiance is very gorgeous. I love the red bench, the vase of flowers, the little prints here and there. I LOVE that they have housemade scones!!!!! Scones are the best ever treat and the fact that they offer so many different flavors and make it themselves?! A+ automatically. I got the corn scone, and it was perfect in every way. Texture was perfect, flavor was perfect, all around perfection! I got an iced latte, and they seem to use the same coffee beans that Nook Coffee Bar uses, Jetty Coffee Roasters. They also have coffee beans, matcha, matcha whisks, and Baggu bags for sale. Service was great, and they welcomed every single person who walked in, even when they were super busy which speaks to the level of intentionality of the staff! I will be back. I can't wait to eat more scones!!!

    I came around 10 am and the parking lot was almost full. There's limited parking since the lot is small and shares space with a dental office. The dental office was closed since it's a holiday so I imagine there would be even less parking available during the week. You can try street parking but that's also limited due to apartments on either side of the coffee shop. If anything, there's a larger parking lot across the street you can park in. It's the lot that has Dennys and grocery stores. The cafe is on the small side and definitely not big enough to have tables in the future. R & b music played in the background. The drinks are unique as well as the scones. The scones sold out quick! Only a few were left by time I got there. I got hold cream matcha and strawberry latte. I added cream top to the strawberry latte and was given a small cup with the cream to pour onto strawberry latte which was fun. But I think we got a regular latte because I didnt taste any strawberry. But the latte itself was really good! The cream definitely saved the drink. *sigh* the matcha is milky! :( i was so looking forward to the matcha too. The house praline cream is good but that's all I could taste. If you like a strong matcha flavor like me, this isn't the place to get it unfortunately. They have the matcha already made so they just have to pour it in the cup. I hope they can hand whisk the matcha once they're fully open and have staff! I also got a vanilla scone and lemon poppyseed scone. The scones are so good! In all, I'm looking forward to their full menu and will come back to try the other menu items!

    Hold latte w/ praline cream

    Very clean inside. It's got some seating against the wall and window. It feels crowded on there quickly as there isn't a clear designation for the line. They need to add some lines on the ground or some posts to guide the line. I ordered the Hold latte, half sweet, easy ice, w/ oat milk. It's not strong coffee, but it tasted good. What I was really wowed w/ was the scone. I tried the matcha black sesame scone. It was so good. I will be going back just to try a different flavor scone (they have multiple options). I'll also try a different latte next time I go back. I do hope they improve the strength of the coffee and coffee flavor in the drink. Otherwise, it's a nice drink.

    Absolutely loved this new coffee shop! We tried the cold cream and house cold brew with praline cream on top along with the ham & jalapeño scone, and everything was SO good. I've tried many coffee shops in the area and this is by far the best one yet. Everything on the menu looks and sounds amazing -- I can't wait to come back and try more. The shop itself is very nice and clean, with plenty of parking. Just a FYI: there are no public restrooms, so it's more of a quick grab-and-go coffee spot rather than a place to hang out for hours. Highly recommend!

    Iced matcha latte with oatmilk

    This place is so cute, there's not much places in West Covina/Covina area but this place is gonna be my next go-to since it's so close to me. They're very kind and they ask to let them know if we need adjustments. Really good first impression and the place is really cute. The matcha is automatically sweetened with agave which is great and i think the matcha milk ratio is balanced. If you have a sweet tooth maybe get more sweetener or a syrup. I can't speak for their coffees, i'll have to try next time.

    If you're looking for a coffee & tea shop that has fun with its flavors, Pressed + Flower is the…read moreplace to be. They have fun with their menu here; you can find a seasonal menu every now and then, and have menu items like their Pandan Vietnamese Coffee, which is delicious by the way, to a creamy Dubai chocolate latte, to a sweet citrus peach green tea and smores chai. I told you they are fun, right? They also have the standard fully customizable menu with Americanos, cappuccinos, mochas, cold brews, etc. My fiancé chose Pressed + Flower to be our Sunday morning treat, knowing I am a sucker for anything cold and sweet while the sunshine is out. We got a Cold Brew w/ Cold Foam + Pandan Vietnamese Coffee to sit inside. Originally we were just planning for a quick to-go order but decided to stay to enjoy their ambiance. The interior is decked out to be just like their menu - fun and whimsy. Upon entering, I was immediately distracted by all the shoppable decor items like their huge mugs, candles, glassware, stickers, and crocheted animals. See, aren't they fun? I would've stayed in this shoppable section for longer and bought something if I weren't so coffee-deprived, but didn't end up purchasing a crocheted animal, although I really wanted to. I will save this thought for my next visit to make sure I can take one home. They have a variety of comfy chairs, and tables for guests to chill on and take a relaxing break while enjoying their coffee or tea. There are games in the front of the store if you want to entertain yourself with friends and hang out. The staff we interacted with were both friendly and welcoming. We'll definitely be back to enjoy more of their fun seasonal drinks and next time, I'll stay awhile longer to enjoy more of the ambiance they curated here. :)

    Love this place for so many reasons - great for working, studying, and meeting up or hanging out…read morewith friends. They've got delicious drinks and I love that they still give ceramic mugs when you ask for it (a lot of other places have stopped doing this and just always use the plastic lined wasteful to-go cups). I will likely even bring my family or kids here too as it has so many activities like books and games for young and old. Huge variety of drinks, good breakfast foods like even hot oatmeal, and some lunch food items too, although I haven't tried those yet. The staff are always kind and calm adding to cool vibe. Don't miss the items for sale from local vendors. Fun to browse!

    Wow how exciting to see 7 Leaves expand outside of OC. Congrats to the business for another…read moresuccessful expansion. This location in Covina has plenty of their own private parking and a drive thru. When we entered, I was mind blown about the large interior. The space was set up with plenty of outlets along the walls for those who come to study and work. I appreciate the 7 Leaves chain for having a simple menu but executing it well consistently with quality ingredients. On this visit I had the Iced Mung Bean Milk Tea because it was later in the afternoon and I didn't want to ruin my sleep with caffeine. My all time favorite drink here is their Iced House Coffee, with 3 shots of espresso. When I want something refreshing I get their Iced Sea Cream Jasmine Tea. And my family's favorite is their Iced Taro Milk Tea. Love their product. Love that this location has a drive thru. Love the study-work ambiance they set up their seating area to be. I was already telling my boyfriend how I want to take my niece back here the next time we have a café session.

Great place to sit and study or get work done. At night it can get a little loud, as some come to play card/board games. They have some snacks as well as plenty of drink options so it's ideal for a long study/work session. There are two gender neutral bathrooms. My go to drinks are the Japanese Matcha Tea Iced & Jasmine or Oolong milk tea. Their honey latte iced is also good, but I recommend easy sweet as it can get a bit too sweet for me.
