Café Lovi

Happy labor day! We will be closed monday and tuesday, and we look forward to seeing you all on wednesday.

has lots of events going on to celebrate “bike month” in May. We do our part today, offering you free drip and 10% off sandwiches if you ride your bike to the café!

Hello dear friends! We will be closed today, but we will see you back at the café on Monday, regular hours. Happy Easter!

Clearly not our lucky day 😕 someone broke into the cafe last night! The amazing people of the should be done soon and we expect to re-open by 9AM…

Hey guys, we will be closed today, sorry! See you all on Monday!

You know you want challah to make your stuffing - come get it, don’t settle for less 😁
Not into stuffing? Come for a coffee! ☕️
Happy Thanksgiving!

All profits from challah sales this Friday will be donated to Magen David Adom (Israel's national medical emergency, disaster, ambulance and blood service), to help our brothers and sisters in Israel in these terrible times.

We will make sure to have plenty challah available, but pre-orders would be very appreciated, so we can ensure there’s challah for everyone.

Have a great day! 🇺🇸🗽We’ll see you tomorrow!

Challah-fellows, please note our summer hours 👀. We are badly understaffed so this is the best we can do at the moment, but should be back to a better schedule (Saturdays included) soon!

Today (Saturday) we will be closed for our regular deep clean-up of the café! 🧽🪣 See you on Monday!

Chef Topher is on a roll - we have another special today! Come get this delicious homemade tomato soup with a side of grilled cheese for lunch 🍅🧀

Only tomorrow for St. Patrick’s Day we will be offering a chef’s special sandwich: corned beef, latkes, stone ground mustard, and kosher pickles. On challah, of course!

Have a great weekend! See you guys back at the café on Tuesday 🥪🥗

Today at Café Lovi we are hosting the team of 👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏼, a bilingual, cross-cultural, intergenerational,
le***an show 🏳️‍🌈 about shedding the skin of the
person you thought you had to be in order to
become the person you truly are. How exciting and inspiring!

There’s something special about supporting small businesses 💛Today we got our keto cookies from and they sent us a card with the order 😍

At we don’t believe in new year resolutions, detoxes and cleanses, fad diets and such. We believe in eating everything in moderation and exercising often (across the street at .la, in our case) to stay fit and healthy year around. So, ditch that new-year-resolution nonsense and come get a challah sandwich today!

Dear friends, we will be taking the next days a bit easy since it’s the holiday season.
Here is the plan: short hours Friday (tomorrow) and Monday, closed the weekend.
Have a relaxing and cozy Christmas! 🎄

Hanukkah is around the corner… are you really going to fry those sufganyot yourself?! We all know the house smells for days after you do! Let us take care of your celebrations and relax with friends and family instead.

No turkey at home? Come get a turkey avocado sandwich at the café! It’s delicious and you don’t have to do small talk with any old crazy family members while you eat it! 😊

A gentle reminder that challah makes the best stuffing in the world! 🍞 You can come get some loaves at the café today and still have plenty time to make stuffing for tomorrow 😊

Our very own Café Lovi was beautifully featured on Spectrum News 1 SoCal alongside my cookbook Cooking alla Giudia 🤩
Check out the video below! There's even a cameo appearance of chef Topher!

Come trick or treating at Café Lovi today until 4.30! We have 🍭 candies 🍬 to give away to kids… and grown-ups too, ‘cause why not?! 🎃👻

It may be raining outside, but we have warm toasted challah with tuna salad (or many other alternative fillings) in here 😊

If you need challah for Shabbat tonight (or want to stock up on carbs to break the upcoming Yom Kippur fast) look no further - we’ve got all the challah you might possibly need!
