    Strawberry fields matcha
    Arianna M.

    3 stars for the cute shop & friendly employees... I've been looking for a yummy matcha in Ventura and I saw that this spot had good reviews. I ordered the strawberry fields matcha and sadly it didn't meet my standards for a good matcha. The color was way lighter than I'm used to and the matcha taste was very subtle - TOO subtle. It mostly tasted like milk with a hint of matcha. The strawberry puree was tasty however. I really wanted to love my drink because the employees are so sweet & it's a convenient location but unfortunately I don't think I will be back. The search continues!

    Indoor seating and Christmas decor

    - Menu: coffee shop classics + 4-5 seasonal drinks - Drink adjustability: can change sweetness/milks - Seating: lots of seatin, 3+ with access to outlets - Crowd: very chill on a weekday - Parking: free storefront parking - Features: water filler, restroom (with code), fast wifi Came to Lovewell with my friend for a grind session and fell in love with the atmosphere. They had adorable decor for Christmas, played light holiday jazz, and there was a lot of seating with nice natural light. The staff was extremely friendly and lovely atmosphere! Highly recommend for a place to study or catch up with friends. The Christmas candy latte was great, not too sweet and with a good smooth coffee flavor.

    Lovewell is a lovely little coffee shop. Beautiful ambiance with the plants on the wall, very warm and welcoming. The two sisters working were super friendly and kind. Gave great service and the coffee was delicious!! I got the specialty drink... I'm forgetting the name but it was shaken espresso with honey and oat milk. SO tasty! Would definitely come back.

    Delicious vanilla latte, not too sweet! They have some fancy specialty drinks; both coffee and tea-based. I was tempted by the matcha but wanted to try their coffee on my first visit. The shop is a gorgeous, airy space with lots of healthy plants and a nod to Star Wars nerdom. The baristas were really nice, accommodating of my allergies and playing some great 00s music.

    The Goodfella
    Alexis F.

    I got the goodfella. It's a shaken espresso and really good. They have bakery items but get there early cause there wasn't much when I got there and depending on the day they can sell out fast. The service was really nice and whether you're a new customer or a regular, the staff makes you feel like you're part of the community which is an amazing feeling for any coffee spot. I got to sip my coffee and relax while reading my book. There were other people either hanging out or working so it's a great environment for a little bit of everything.

    ~ A COFFEESHOP GEM IN THE COMMUNITY ~ The mood walking in feels like cozy, clean, and community. Whether I'm working on my laptop, chatting with girlfriends, or just curled up with a book, Lovewell is that perfect mix of peaceful and plugged-in. Whenever I'm in here I feel main character energy, smiles all around, good music, and the kind of space that makes you feel like you belong the minute you walk in. Love the borrow a book, leave a book bookshelf tucked in the corner by the restroom. I always leave with a good find (don't forget to bring one to leave too)! On the menu, I love the white chocolate lattes, cold brews with vanilla, and they serve the kind of coffee that makes you want to drink more than your body allows. Each and every visit the staff has always been an integral part of the lovely experience. Lovewell does a great job hiring kind, funny, patient, and knowledgable folks. Extra shoutout to Emily for being the literal embodiment of kindness (seriously, 10/10 vibes from the whole crew). They're a huge part of the community, supporting local school programs and giving back wherever they can... so I'll keep showing up and supporting right back. *HOT TIP: the bathroom reviews a code, so don't be shy and ask the front desk! *HOTTER TIP: they often run out of their pastries and food items shortly after the morning rush, so if you're looking for anything specific, be sure to get there earlier!

    Cool spot I stumbled across while working, I had to stop in to get some work done and it was great, had an iced mocha with a mixed berry muffin - so delish very cool vibes comfortable If got to work in peace, cute decor, very polite staff and a nice clean restroom Great experience

    Cutest little market place
    Jenny L.

    My go-to neighborhood coffee spot! I've been coming here for 4-5 years now, ever since I first discovered it -- and it never disappoints. The staff is always super friendly and welcoming, They just made my favorite drink, the Strawberry Fields Matcha, a signature item -- and honestly, it deserves it. 10/10 every time. Highly recommend if you're in the area and want great drinks and even better vibes!

    One of the best coffee shops in Ventura! Definitely in my Top Five Coffee Shops, and Ima tell you why. First off, let's consider the high quality beans they use for espresso drinks. They really make a difference. A difference you taste in every sip. I mostly hang out at a different coffee shop across town. I love the espresso drinks at my usual. But on those special occasions when I want to really indulge and treat myself to the highest quality cappucino in town, I drive straight to Lovewell. Lovewell is one of only three places I've found in Ventura that make a legit cappuccino. At most places, including my usual coffee shop, when you order a cappuccino you actually get a small latte. They use way too much steamed milk. The "cappuccino" at most places is usually served in a 12 oz cup. But here at Lovewell they know how to make an actual cappuccino. It's not diluted with superfluous steamed milk. Here a cappuccino is served in an 8 oz cup. Proper! Another reason why this place is in my Top Five Coffee shops is the people that work here. It's fun to get a drink at Lovewell because the staff is so welcoming. They're all smiley and cheerful, like they're genuinely happy to see you. You get the feeling that they really want your drink to be exactly the way you want it. On several occasions I've been standing somewhere in the cafe waiting for my drink and have had the counterperson come out from behind the counter and bring the drink straight to me instead of just calling my name. That's some great customer service. Still not convinced you need to check this place out? Consider this: The pastry case at Lovewell is nearly always filled with temptations that are almost impossible to resist. I say nearly always filled because if you show up too late in the day you might find that they're sold out. If I see Sugar Buns in the case when I walk in I know exactly how the visit is going to play out. I don't even try to fight, I just curse Satan and order me one. Then I sit and enjoy it with my cappuccino and praise the Lord. Lord have mercy those Sugar Buns are good! So, yeah, I highly recommend Lovewell because they have great coffee, great pastries and they are great people. And also because they make a true cappuccino here. If that matters to you like it matters to me, this is definitely a place you need to visit. Mikey C says: Lovewell Tea & Coffee is straight up 5 Stars!

    Seating area in front
    Susie R.

    Counter order, deliver to your seat service. Very nice! Moderate amount of inside and outside seating, comfortable. My oat milk matcha with vanilla is very very smooth but I wish I'd said extra hot . R said the same of his mocha latte, very good but tepid. So, live and learn! If you prefer your drinks hot, be sure to ask for extra hot here. The vanilla matcha is really good otherwise.

    Bridget D.

    Excellent matcha latte. Great place to work from for the day. Workers are very nice and the place is super cute. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The last time I was here I think they had a lot more baked goods but today they seemed to sell out pretty quickly. It was fairly busy when I arrived around 9:45am.

    Strawberry fields matcha
    Adanari Z.

    It's been too long since I've been to Lovewell and that should be a crime. Their Fall/holiday drinks are out and all I've got to say is PUMPKIN. PIE. MATCHA! Life changing! Service and staff is as welcoming and attentive as I remember. Visiting for the first time as a mom, I realized how baby/kid friendly the shop is with toys available for our little to play with while we enjoy our drinks. Thanks for the great drinks, yummy food, and relaxing and welcoming ambience. This continues to be a favorite of VTA!

    Sweater Weather Iced Latte
    Raechel I.

    Found this little gem via a Yelp event, and sure glad I did. I like to visit the park down the street and now that visits will be even sweeter after stopping by Lovewell. I order an iced large Sweater Weather latte. The sweetness, coffee and vanilla were in delicious together. The shop its self gives a mellow, creative, hang vibe.

A cold coffee in a glass cup makes such a difference in how cold the drink gets and the presentation. The latte was amazing! Perfect temperature. I went for the chocolate croissant, it was amazing! Little hint of salt sent it over the top. Just wish there was a warming option

I drink coffee for two things - the taste and of course the caffeine. So trying to find something that isn't artificially flavored or sugar loaded wasn't easy. I landed on the oat milk cream cold brew. They were out of the foam, even better. However, it's odd when there's only two ingredients: coffee and oat milk, it barely tasted like coffee. And no caffeine boost whatsoever. So here's my take, if you are a beginner coffee drinker or want a coffee drink without a bunch of coffee this will be your jam. No judgement, I began my relationship with coffee with mocha frappuccinos and cappuccinos. If you are a coffee lover I'd look elsewhere.
