Lovetta - Fullerton

Bottom Line Up Front: Lovetta Coffee is offers a wide range of quality java, teas, and baked goods in a cozy setting. Is it a little expensive? Sure. Is its products tasty and high quality? Absolutely. The Drinks: After perusing the menu (which has more than a few options), I zeroed in on the Cola Espresso because of its uniqueness. It features sprinkling water, two shots of espresso, and Lovetta's house-made cola syrup. It didn't taste like a Coke mixed with a black coffee because the cola syrup had more of a root beer base with a strong citrus aftertaste. As unusual as that is, I quite enjoyed it. Meanwhile, my wife ordered the Earl Grey Matcha, which had a perfect blend of both distinct flavors. I'm not a big Earl Grey guy, but I thought it was good. My wife loved it. The Food: I couldn't resist getting a dessert, so I purchased the churro cookie. It was a firm, yet soft cinnamon sugar cookie with a sweet chocolate center. It was delicious and nearly flawless. I say "nearly" because it was just one cookie for a whopping $4.50. Ouch. The Pricing: So, yeah, Lovetta is not cheap. The Cola Espresso was $7 while the Early Grey Matcha was $7.25. Two drinks and a cookie for basically $20. The Setting: Lovetta is located in the heart of Downtown Fullerton in a building shared with a FedEx/Kinko's, Wahoo's Fish Taco and Sunny Tea Studio. The front entrance faces busy Chapman Avenue near Harbor Boulevard. There's no street parking in that area (or extremely limited) so I drove to the rear where there's a bank parking lot and a public parking structure. I parked in the latter for fear of getting towed in the former. Even for a Saturday evening, there were several spaces open in the structure, though the slots are a little more narrow than I'd like. Inside the cafe, it's not huge, but there are several tables and counterspace for studying or hanging out in small groups (4 or fewer is most ideal). It was clean and well organized. The Service: Our barista was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and honest with her recommendations. Though she was working solo, she still made our drinks relatively quickly. The Conclusion: Lovetta Coffee might be a little on the pricey side, but makes up for it in high-quality beverages and pastries, customer service, and a clean cozy atmosphere. My true rating is 4.5 out of 5, but since I can't give half-stars here, I'm rounding up due to the hospitality of the staff. I will definitely return to try more of the menu.

Came here for the high quality matcha review. Got their 1st class iced matcha for $12. The flavor was bland/water down. Matcha was not smooth nor felt like a good quality grade. My husband got their iced americano coffee. It was the same feeling, water down and bland.

This coffee shop is very spacious, clean and lovely! My husband and I ordered Spanish lattes with an earl grey scone. Everything was absolutely delicious! Service was nice! Will come here again if in the area!

1. The matcha was well-crafted, and I can definitely taste the high quality of the matcha! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes with high ceilings! 3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! Note: There are parking structures nearby! Photo: 1st Class Matcha
