Love Cafe

Liz Michalkiewicz★★★★★

Love Cafe is the kind of place that makes you want to linger. The drinks are little luxury rituals. Creative, seasonal and a bit indulgent but still nourishing. The smoothies are fresh and actually delicious, not just beautiful. Whatever you do, add a baked good. The chocolate chip cookie might be the best I've ever had. the whole space feels sunny, safe, and quietly healing. It reminds me of sitting in my mom or aunt's cozy kitchen. Warm light, good energy and something sweet on the counter. It's become my favorite place to work lately because I genuinely feel at home there. Kaleigh keeps things exciting with rotating drinks and thoughtful after-hour events, so there's always something new unfolding. It's truly the neighborhood coffee shop that Shorewood deserves 🩷

If your soul needs a reset, your energy needs grounding, and your matcha needs an upgrade, Love Cafe is calling ✨🤍🍵 Some places don’t just serve matcha — they shift your entire mood. From the moment you walk into Love Cafe, there is a noticeable shift. The noise softens, your shoulders drop, and for a second, everything feels quieter. It carries the energy of a yogi retreat: calm, grounded, and deeply intentional. A special space that feels less like a cafe and more like an exhale. True peace. And then there is the matcha 🍵✨ Thoughtful. Unexpected. Completely unique. Every flavor feels curated with purpose, layered in a way that makes you pause and actually experience it. I didn’t know palo santo syrup was something missing from my life, but here we are. The flavors are divine, comforting yet intriguing, familiar but entirely new. What makes Love Cafe special isn’t just what it’s serves, it’s what it creates. A warm, welcoming environment where people gather not just for incre

This place is so cute and cozy. I've been there twice for Art Club, and it is the perfect spot to bring a journal or a sketchbook and just hang out. The owner provided quick service despite the place being packed, and the food was delicious. I ordered a hot chocolate and a matcha toaster strudel that was served to me hot out of the oven. YUM. I will be back!

Adorable neighborhood cafe. While I haven’t been to any of their events, the cafe is always warm and inviting. Great coffee drinks with ability to sub for hojicha or matcha. I love their pumpkin chili hummus and regularly get a tub for home. You’re always greeted with a smile! Definitely a smaller space and I’m sure tables fill quickly, but seems like a relaxing space to chat with friends, get work done, or simply relax.

I have had a wonderful experience each time I’ve been to Love Cafe. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming to people seeking community. My favorite food item on the menu is the hummus that's served with amazing bread! Each time I’ve visited I’ve also had to take a chocolate chip cookie with me to go! I just can’t pass it up. I appreciate that they have a unique selection of tea as well. I’ll definitely be back to try more drinks and food from their menu!

I have been to Love Cafe twice now and I honestly couldn't recommend it more! Cozy is an understatement! The staff there are the nicest most accommodating people and they have crafted some amazing drinks and food options. The perfect little spot to stop off and grab a coffee and a snack. I recommend grabbing a cold brew, their hummus (the bread that comes with this and the sandwich is divine), and the Turkey Turkey sandwich! If they have their cookies or other deserts out, do yourself a favor and grab one! Looking forward to coming back soon!

i was just doing laundry down the street and wanted to grab a cup of coffee- stumbled into the cutest little space on oakland. the menu is small and beautifully curated. this place truly has heart, it just feels comfortable and welcoming the moment you walk inside. it’s clean and tidy, but not sterile. it’s funky and arty, but not pretentious. love cafe makes a great cup of coffee. the service was lovely, easy, and quick. i could not recommend this space with more conviction. go there!
