I love this place & always stop by whenever I'm in town.You can't go wrong w anything on their menu. I've had pastries, breakfast sandwiches , & their butternut squash soup which was 10/10 amazing! What really surprised me was their hummus avocado toast w crispy onion pieces!! By far the best avocado toast i've paid for.Their service is always really great, too! Everyone back there is super helpful & quick to get your order right.They have free wifi and overall it's a chill place to sit and chat or do work.Love supporting this black owned business!

Hey friends! This is my second trip here but my first time dining in. I really enjoyed my time here. I ordered a mocha matcha latte($7). I want to highlight the amazing customer service at this cafe. The barista felt my drink needed a sweet touch so she added vanilla to my drink. I really appreciate her effort to ensure I loved my drink. The drink was amazing and I'll now ask for that shot of vanilla in my latte. The owner also offered us samples of their most popular juices. We tried the Eye See Sunshine and Liver Lover. They both were refreshing and tasted amazing. Interior is cozy, welcoming, and eclectic. Parking is limited and free. Cafe was clean and well stocked. This was the perfect spot for my meeting. I'll now be a regular at this cafe! Enjoy!With love,The Picky Pescatarian

Had a coffee cake to go. The crumble was really good and while the cake was a little too dense, it's really a great pairing with a morning coffee - which is the exact purpose of a good coffee cake! Please note that when ordering to-go, the service was a little bit slow. Shop was cozy though.

Very cozy vibe with fantastic customer service. This place has a ton of vegan friendly food and beverage options that are very tasty, however, the prices are a little expensive.

This is my favorite café in Laurel always consistent. The staff is super nice. I love it. It's woman-owned and black owned. My favorite coffee here is pretty much their cookie butter coffee it's light and refreshing. I definitely recommended iced or hot. It's delicious. This café is also very intimate. It's not large at all but it's a great place to study. It's usually super quiet if there is music playing it's always a vibe and I cannot stress enough about how beautiful the artwork is. I'm sure they're by local artists it just makes you feel very warm and very inviting and appreciative of art and culture

Two words.... Avocado Toast! Decided to give this place a chance after driving by a couple of times. I had to turn my preconceived biases about vegan spots off, and I am happy that I did. While LLC has many vegan options, they also carry vegetarian and items that contain regular dairy. Did I mention that they have amazing coffee as well. My wife is a chai latte enthusiast and she was well pleased with her drink. This was my first time here and it will not be the last. Wait! Staff and service were amazing as well. Ok. I'm done.

When I came across this trendy specialty coffee shop a few months ago, I promised myself to check it out the next time I'm in town. I was determined to fit it in my schedule despite the busyness of graduation season. The Love Life Cafe was established to uplift and inspire the community, to create a space for people to meet and experience fine coffees, fresh pressed juices, and healthy vegan forward food options made with puuure l-o-v-e. I really do love businesses with positive affirmations or messaging in their decor. It creates an upbeat, welcoming and encouraging atmosphere.This woman-owned cafe is located in the Laurel Shopping Center across from Route 1, which is easy to get to and parking was available. I stepped into a lovely love-filled oasis. The staff were magnificent...very patient with me since it was my first time. I ordered a strawberry rose latte from the menu then saw the sample toasts displayed in the glass and picked the avocado toast (includes marinated tomato, pickled onion, crispy garlic) later on I ordered the coffee cake. Overall, my experience was terrific. The coffee and food was sooo delicious and all freshly made. Loving my life to the fullest!So whenever, you're in Laurel please show some LOVE to Love Life Cafe :o)

Only had the matcha, so I can't say about the coffee or food, but the vibes seem nice and I like that there's an extensive menu of flavor options. As a matcha enthusiast, I was a little disappointed with my latte. The matcha itself tasted okay, but it wasn't all mixed in with the milk when I got it, and the matcha flavor wasn't very present/strong. I think if you're just getting started with matcha, it's not a bad option-- it comes unsweetened and didn't taste bitter. If I were to try it again, I'd ask for extra matcha. Other than that, it looks like a chill place to catch up or do work. They have happy hour, so it'd be cool to grab some beer or wine here too.
