    My second time at love life Café, and I'm still happy with their food and service. I met up with a friend for lunch a few days ago and ordered one of their pressed juices and Vegan Chicken Caesar wrap. The wrap was delicious! It had vegan chicken, red onions, tomatoes, pepperoncini, kale, and was topped off with a vegan Caesar dressing. It was filling and the dressing had a nice citrusy flavor to it. It was light but filling. The wrap is served cut in half and one half was enough to satisfy my hunger. The Liver lover pressed juice contained beets, apples, oranges, lemon, and ginger. It wasn't too sweet and was quite refreshing. This café isn't too noisy so bringing a laptop or tablet to get some work done would work out just fine here.

    This dope black female owned coffee cafe spot is definitely a great vibe with the walks decorated in great black art. Its located on an adjacent portion of the Laurel shopping center. The impressive menu of interesting enthused caffienated or non options are many. The staff was very much attentive busy at work preparing the selections of the patrons. I chose the regular acai bowl and the 16oz Camp fire Night iced latte w/oatmilk(its a seasonal favor). I absolutely enjoyed my purchase. This place offers a very relaxed and quiet atmosphere with abundance of seating. The environment is conducive to sitting with the dazzling sun enjoying the moment at the high top or seating low chairs, doing a little reading or work on your computer. The options are up to you but the vibe and setting is everything. While sitting here enjoying my acai bowl and latte, I watched the lady come in with more beautiful black art pieces. Not that I looked specifically to seek out a female owned cafe during National female month; it was my pleasure to have patronized a dope black female owned business. I highly recommend anyone to come and visit this uplifting cafe. It definitely lives up to its name " LOVE LIFE CAFE"/ LOVE LIFE COFFEE.

    Matcha Latte (8/10)

    The perfect place in Laurel to grab a quick match, coffee, or pressed juice! It's a friendly atmosphere with personable staff. My favorite bite on the menu is the curry chickpea wrap. It's flavorful and filling! The matcha is pretty tastey and there are several flavors to add to the mix to have it made to your liking. There's also a run club that meets at the coffee shop routinely to encourage fitness in the community. I thoroughly enjoy my visit each time! I'll be back for a pressed juice and curry chickpea wrap.

    Been here before and definitely had to come back! My friend got the lavender latte and monkey frappe (banana etc) and I got the Femne Noir , one of the Valentines special. You can order in the kiosk or on the counter. Cozy vibes and great atmosphere, and great lattes!

    Pesto Noodle Bowl

    This is my go to cafe in Laurel. I love the artwork and ambiance every time I visit. Recently I tried the pesto salad and wasn't all that impressed. I understand it's a healthy menu but me and my colleagues thought it could use more flavor. It's still a refreshing dish but I would go for the toast which is my favorite item on their menu, specifically the tomato. My favorite coffee order: chai tea latte + almond milk + cookie butter.

    Upon entering the coffee shop, it felt welcoming and the artwork around the shop was fascinating and I was pleased to know it's from a local artist. The place is clean and beautifully decorated. The menu selection is vegan and healthy focused. The names for the drinks were fitted and shows creativity and a playful way of catching one's attention. For my drink, I ordered "How Nuts Are You? Blend of Pistachio-Hazelnut Latte topped with a White Chocolate Drizzte, Cinnamon & I chose Oatmilk. Although I thought I had asked for Almond Butter & Jam Toast on sourdough, I got the Avocado Toast. Rather than complain I told my friend I would be open minded & try it out. Even though I am not a man of avocado I was pleasantly surprised on how tasty it was but I def would have not chosen that for breakfast. My friend got a Love bomb (which is a non-coffee drink) along with Banana toast. We were both pleased and likely to return.

    Love Life Café Review Definitely a nice atmosphere to sit, have coffee, or bring your laptop to get some work done. I ordered the Dirty Chai with banana flavoring -- it was about $10 and tasted pretty good! I probably should've added an extra shot for a stronger kick, but overall it was a great experience. I'll definitely be visiting again! #LoveLifeCafe #CoffeeLovers #CafeVibes #DirtyChai #MiamiEats #CafeReview #WorkAndSip #CoffeeBreak

    Because of the reviews, I was super excited to try this cafe. However, I am not 100% sold on it. I had the "Only Tea N' You" and the Banana Toast. Both were a 2.9/5. Nevertheless, the service was great and I like the ambiance/vibe of the cafe!

    Iced Latte
    Maya B.

    One of my favorite cafes in Maryland! My drinks are always excellent and the baristas are very friendly! Fun seasonal coffees but if you're looking for something healthy they've got good pressed juices as well. Plenty of seating inside and never too overcrowded. Plus I love all the Black art on the walls! Free parking is available and it's great that they're open a little bit late. I return often to support this Black owned business.

    Needed an energy boost and found this super cute BO Vegan coffee shop! The menu is abundant and there is something for everyone that is looking for a healthier alternative meal and drink. I love how inviting the space is as soon as you walk in! The staff is cordial and helpful. Plenty of seating available. And I absolutely adored all of the artistic touches throughout the Cafe! You can tell that someone put a lot of time and love into this space and it works exceptionally well! I chose to order a drink from the seasonal menu called A Link to the Past as decaf and half sweet with oat milk in the iced 12 oz option. It was perfect! I grabbed the Local Tomato Toast as my breakfast/brunch option and it was so delicious! OMG. I wish I had of ordered another one to go! I did grab an overnight carrot cake quinoa bowl and a liver lover juice to go. I've never had a sweetened version of quinoa and now I want to try it that way more often! So good! The juice was tasty, too! There is ample parking in the lot. The prices were on par considering the ingredients and the quality of food that is offered there. I was told to try the same toast but with avocado spread vs pesto the next time as a nice switch up. I'll keep that in mind! I live in NoVa but travel to the Laurel area maybe infrequently. I will definitely make this a staple stop every time I visit now and can't wait to try something else new! If you are vegan/vegetarian or just looking for clean eating options, definitely give this sweet cafe a try and feel the love for yourself.

    I stopped by to support a black business. I ordered a latte with a caramel drizzled. The service was good. I had tho wait a little while. The ambiance is great. I love the paintings that are hanging. My only criticism is the coffee was a whopping $8.00 for a large.

    Hummus Avocado Toast -- 15/10 so good !
    Delana A.

    I love this place & always stop by whenever I'm in town. You can't go wrong w anything on their menu. I've had pastries, breakfast sandwiches , & their butternut squash soup which was 10/10 amazing! What really surprised me was their hummus avocado toast w crispy onion pieces!! By far the best avocado toast i've paid for. Their service is always really great, too! Everyone back there is super helpful & quick to get your order right. They have free wifi and overall it's a chill place to sit and chat or do work. Love supporting this black owned business!

    Avocado Toast
    Tiff H.

    I lucked up a found this black owned cafe while looking for a Tropical Smoothie Cafe which is directly next door. I decided to give this cafe a try and I am so glad I did. The cafe has amazing artwork and decor on the wall. I ordered a açaí bowl and decided to add the avocado toast to eat on my drive back home. While waiting for my order, I noticed a community board in which I added my business card. My açaí bowl was so good. I wasn't a fan of the avocado toast as it just didn't suit my taste buds. I will definitely return when in the area.

    Chick Chickpea Veggie Wrap. It's unbelievably delicious.

There is also a tasty lime soda with basil seeds in it. I hadn't been to a local Indian place since the old days when I would to Woodlands and Tiffin. Amber Spice will become my new go-to.

    I came here for lunch with a friend. Like many Indian places, they do shut-down between lunch and…read moredinner. They close at 3pm and reopen at 5pm. We were headed to Amber Spice for a late lunch, and fortunately, we made it in before the 2:45pm cutoff (I called ahead to check). Since it was almost lunch closing, they did request that we place our orders soon after being seated. We already knew what we wanted to order, so we didn't feel rushed otherwise. We started with the veggie samosas ($6, two pieces), which were served with the traditional tamarind sauce and spicy cilantro chutney. The samosas were packed with the potato and pea filling and had a lightly crisp exterior. They were as good as any. For my entree, I ordered the butter chicken ($20), which is served with a side of basmati rice. When ordering, the waiter didn't ask about spice level. I did find their butter chicken to have some heat to it, but it wasn't anything crazy - I'd say a 3/10 for spiciness - I felt the warmth. The chicken was super tender and moist. I would be happy getting this again. I also ordered the garlic naan ($5), because you have to have something to sop up the curry goodness. The naan was hot and fresh; you could also taste the garlic. One basket came with four pieces (one whole naan), which is perfect for sharing. I finished the meal with the gulab jamun ($6) for dessert which came with three pieces of the fried dough balls served in a sweet syrup. My friend ordered the mango kulfi and loved it! She described it as a mango lassi, but frozen, which made it that much more light and refreshing. Amber Spice is a casual dining spot and it has the service to match. We were brought a carafe of water for the table to start, so it was self-serve the rest of the way. Food was brought out quickly and plates were cleared at the end, but we weren't checked on during the meal. Perhaps since we arrived near lunch closing, service was winding down, but we got what we needed. I enjoyed the food here and would come again. Everything that we had was not only super tasty, but also reasonably priced. There's also plenty of parking in the shopping center.

Today, I gave them another shot because Uber Eats was offering a buy one, get one free deal on the jerk chicken meal. I chose rice & peas with plantain for my sides. The chicken was cooked on the grill--which I love--because it really brings out the flavor in jerk chicken. I also requested my jerk sauce on the side since I prefer a dry rub style over a saucy one. The only drawback was the small bone pieces in the chicken and rice. That's something to be cautious about, especially if a child is eating the meal. The plantains were also inconsistent--some pieces were hard, while others were mushy. On the bright side, the coco bread was perfect and the Jamaican rum cake was phenomenal. Whoever baked that cake clearly took their time soaking it in rum. It reminded me of the way my grandmother used to make it--absolutely delicious. I would definitely order the rum cake again.

Usually with brunch we would do the bottomless mimosas and all but because I was driving I decided not to participate in that. And usually I would get chicken and waffles but I was in the mood for a burger. So I thought because their name is "Mad Cow" the burger would be the bomb...but nope it was not good at all. So I prefer a beef burger cooked medium with blue cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomato, and onions. When I burger got tot the table it was dry as a board. No blue cheese that I paid extra for and the burger was not cooked correctly it was cooked well done. Smdh. So the waiter brought me my blue cheese apologized about it and also gave me a mayo bottle. Even with the burger still was not good and the patty was so thick with no flavor not even salt and pepper was in it!! I tried their punch drink which was really good but for $15 a pop in a regular water glass was ridiculous. Make sure you don't get too tipsy as they already have like a 20% gratuity added on each of our checks no matter how small or big your group is which again is ridiculous! Will I come back...maybe only because I would like to try some Jamaican food they offer. But for brunch...it's a no for me!

Happy Hour is from 3-7pm. This is a solid spot for a casual night out with friends for good margaritas, authentic touches, and a welcoming atmosphere.
