Cafe Valer

My friend and I came to try their special holiday drinks and they are yummy I forgot the other one we got, but I remember that the mint hot chocolate is amazing.

Great place to hang out with friends and enjoy coffee and sandwiches. Their staffs are very friendly to customers. The place is well organized and price is reasonable. Highly recommended!

Good sandwiches and panini.
I always have the California chicken panini.
All good and fast services.

Great food! I always get the chipotle chicken panini. The crust is toasted perfectly, chicken is fresh to the bite, the sauce is delicious! Tastes fresh and of quality. Highly recommend.

Been here many times, it’s best described as pleasant as fuck.
The chicken pesto & chipotle chicken paninis are my go-to’s, 2 different versions of the perfect grilled chicken sandwich. If this was all they served, I’d still give 5 stars & rave about this place.
The green tea (macha) frap can be better than urth Caffè depending on who’s making it that day, but never bad.
Smoothies can be better, but that might be because I have grown accustomed to 3 bags of sugar I get in smoothies elsewhere.
Desserts are on my to try list.
Overall, I super recommend this place for lunch if you’re at the mall & hungry. Or by the mall. Or in the general west covina vicinity. Can’t go wrong. :)

Simply delicious healthy and affordable. I was introduced to this place by a group of friends that insisted I try it! I’m not a fan of sandwiches but here they have something that makes me change my mind. Being indecisive I asked the person behind the counter what they recommend. This is something I do at most new places I go to. No better person to ask than the person working there! She recommend one of the panini’s, I went with a garlic chicken pesto. Once I took the first bite I realized how fresh their products are. The food was made with precision. The plate came out looking picture perfect something that’s is important to me. Ever sense my first visit I’ve been a regular they have options for everyone. If your not going for a meal you can also go grab a cup of tea or coffee with one of their delicious desserts and read a book. The atmosphere is nice the restaurant isn’t very large but there is an outdoor seating area.
Pros

* Healthy options
* Impeccable customer service
Cons
* Not intended for large groups

Although I have frequented the West Covina mall an innumerable amount of times, I had never tried Café Valer until recently.
My favorite is without a doubt the chipotle chicken panini. So much texture in each bite, with the crunchiness of the toasted bread, followed by the tender, moist chicken, creamy avocado and fresh veggies. The chipotle sauce adds an ever so fine kick that ultimately completes the sandwich.
So the next time you’re shopping, and the wrath of your stomach is too monstrous to ignore, do give this café a try, as it will leave you (and your belly) extremely satisfied.

So I’m walking around the mall looking for a healthy meal. Food court is definitely out! Salty Dog? No thanks. Red Robin? Nah. Lucille’s BBQ? Definitely not healthy. I start walking toward the exit and I see this little café by the exit. I look at the menu and they have healthy food! Not only healthy, but delicious too! Can’t believe I’ve been coming to this mall for YEARS and never ate here before.
I’ve had the chipotle chicken wrap and the spicy chicken Caesar wrap. Delish! Yogurt shakes are really good too. I’m hooked. :-)

Love, Love, Love this place!
Food is amazing and super good! Always tasty and made to order.
The coffee drinks are better and cheaper than «Starbucks»! And the desserts are simply scrumptious! You can’t go wrong with ordering anything on the menu whether its a wrap, panini or pizza!
Seating is limited but they do have a patio and there is always a line but Its so worth it!
I guarantee it!
The staff is super friendly and always willing to go the extra mile. The owner and his son are always on point and provide excellent service! The owner has some «off the menu» coffee drinks that are super yummy… just ask for the «Papa Special» for a tasty delight!

This little Café is Fabulous! My best friend and I stopped in for a quick bite and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Although seating is limited, we did find a cozy little table to ourselves. We shared a chipotle chicken avocado panini and a slice of heavenly cheese cake. Both were equally amazing. We both also enjoyed a delicious latte. The staff, and I think owner, is so pleasant and welcoming. Next time I’m shopping in the mall, I will be a return diner. LOVE this place.

Not knowing the area too well, we stopped in for breakfast. This is the earliest I think I’ve ever been to the mall!
The café is pretty small, but it has a nice patio area. We split the breakfast panini and the chipotle chicken avocado panini. Although both sandwiches were good, the latter was my favorite (though the messiest!). Each one was very filling, but for around $ 8 I wished there was something on the side. Salad? Fruit?
We also had a lemon bar, and my friend said it’s the best one he’s had. Ha.

Wow, what a great little place to grab a bite to eat… Let me tell you why:
Every time I’ve been here I was greeted, genuinely, by one of the employees. They are helpful and make suggestions from the menu. You can’t go wrong with excellent customer service like this!
The food has been very tasty. If you’re craving a panini-​type sandwich, you’ve found a great spot to get one. I like the pesto or the chipotle sauces to compliment one of their great sandwich selections.
Try them for breakfast too… Omelette and of course, breakfast paninis!
They are in the mall on the south side of Macy’s near the parking structure. The Unilocal map is incorrect.

Saw Unilocal reviews few days ago on the pictures of the chocolate truffle cheesecake and hazelnut truffle latte that’s so tempting that I decided to try it today! Initially I thought it was a café that sells mostly desserts and tea/​coffee but no, they do sell food too!
Food:
They have a wide selections of food — from salads, pizza, wraps, panini and sandwiches! Perfect for lunch/​high tea.
We ordered the Spinach Pecan Chicken Salad (half $ 5.50). Ordered half-​size but portion is pretty generous, looks more like regular-​size. The spinach is fresh and crunchy, dressing is good, comes with breadcrumbs, pecans, tomatoes and roasted walnuts. Chicken breast meat is soft and goes well with the spinach. Definitely worth ordering again the next time! ⁸⁄₁₀
We also ordered Pepperoni Pizza ($ 7.95). I love the Parmesan cheese and pepperoni, taste pretty good! I usually don’t really the crust but the crust is not too thick and crispy. ⁷⁄₁₀
Drinks:
Strawberry Banana Smoothies is really good! I’m so glad that I changed my mind to upgrade from a small to a medium cup. Very nice blend of strawberry and bananas! I love it! ⁸⁄₁₀
Moca is pretty good! Served hot, taste rich and creamy. Sooooo much better than Starbucks coffee! ⁸⁄₁₀
Desserts:
Chocolate Truffle Cheesecake is not bad, but would prefer the cheesecake to be softer on the inside. Very pretty looking cake and not too sweet. ⁷⁄₁₀
Service:
Excellent! Staff is friendly, service is quick and the the staff bring out the food to you. They constantly ask if we’re good with our food. My bf and I just took our laptop and the staff asked if we need the wifi password, unlike some other cafes they don’t even bother to ask. ¹⁰⁄₁₀
Parking:
It’s free at West Covina Mall. Park near Macy’s and walk through to get into the mall. Once you get out of Macy’s, Café Valer is located 1 minute away (on your left).
