Java Lova

A very nice little coffee shop Delicious options for late. Also they offer some baked goods on the goFood: 5/5

Super cute and cool popup coffee shop located inside Willowbrook Mall near The Bay. They serve a good latte and they have ton of yummy treats from Bonus Bakery in Vancouver! Cookies, pastries, donuts & more - a perfect match with a hot or cold drink that you can enjoy at one of the nearby seating areas or as you walk around the mall. I visited during the evening and the staff was very nice and helpful. Would love to go back again next time I’m at the mall! They have a fairly big drinks and treats menu that I need to try!

I always come here during my break! I love the wide selection of coffee they have. It’s really affordable and way better in taste compared to Starbucks. I’m pleased to see that they carry a lot of gluten free and vegan baked goods which are hard to find especially inside a mall! I always get the bonus bakery Nutella cookie and a pistachio oat milk latte you must try this combination. The staff here is amazing too, always engaging with the customers.

Don't be fooled by the little kiosk located inside the mall and think it's bad coffee. Give this place a try and you'll be surprised that they actually serve pretty darn good coffee! They make their Americano pretty hot, but I like my Americano really hot so it's perfect for me. You might wanna ask for double sleeves if it's too hot for you. I also find the coffee is low in acidity and pretty smooth. My fiancè got a latte and he said his latte is also pretty good. They also sell some bites you can get if you want and they're all visible from the glass casings in the counter. They have more sweets selections compared to savory. We didnt try any of their food so we're not sure how good they are.

Nice spot. Best cup of coffee you can get in the mall but that isn’t saying much. 3.5/5 latte.Food: 3/5

The staff was friendly and accommodating, their lattes were delicious too. Super cool pop-up coffee shop, would highly recommend it!

Good coffee but horribly managed. Staff are not guaranteed breaks, they don’t follow proper food safe requirements when it comes to sanitizing dishes despite having the guidelines posted on the wall, and the owner’s are just coffee hobbyists who have never worked in coffee prior to opening their very young business - they rely on underpaid staff to fill the gaps in their knowledge, and leave under qualified people to watch their business when they weren’t around a dude who didn’t know how to make a single drink or restock the store was left in charge when they went on vacation, simply because he was a “family friend”. If you truly love coffee, go somewhere that truly values their business and staff enough to invest in proper management and doesn't try to leave it to their staff to pick up their slack. FYI if you order drip coffee from here, it’s actually made with espresso beans, not the coffee beans they sell to the public. All the beans they sell are from Republic Roasters, but they only use the espresso beans for the drinks they make and serve to the public. Espresso is more heavily roasted = less caffeine than you would get from drip coffee made with regular coffee beans.

Ordered a latte with caramel drizzle. Two girls were there and both each worked on it together because there was no line up. They carefully slid the cup my way. When I looked it, the foam was carefully sitting atop a very full and messy cup. The girls new they messed up, so without any words I was handed a second empty cup. Very annoyed, I poured myself about half of the drink and left the rest there. My $10, half sloppy coffee left a bitter taste figuratively in my mouth and I have never been back.

A very nice little coffee shop, the service is superior. I would recommend supporting this local business over the big chain corporation names.
