I ordered one of their oatmeal bowls - with bananas, blueberries, granola, honey, in almond milk. Yes, it was delicious but that’s not what I will remember about this place in South Hill, VA, population 4,600. The young woman behind the counter, after handing me a menu, immediately started telling me about her beagle, currently being treated for a horrible sounding infection (parvo). Happily, her vet says her dog should make a complete recovery. As she finished assembling my oatmeal the door opened and she said, “Morning, Mickey” to the new guest. She turned back to me and said, “Mickey always gets that,” nodding at my bowl. They started exchanging news the way casual friends do. Pat said she thinks she has strep. Andy hurt his back and will miss a few days of work. That kind of thing. After I had had a few minutes with my oatmeal, Mickey, sitting two tables over, asked where I was from. I told him Minnesota. He asked about the weather there. We compared summer highs and winter lows. I remarked to him how green everything I had seen in South Hill was. Endless tall trees. Mickey said he grew up on a farm here so it was pretty natural to him, but he was always grateful for it. One of his oak trees, he said, had recently been certified as the 3rd oldest tree in Virginia, between 275 and 375 years old. We both wondered about who was here then and what they were doing. It occurs to me that I, one of the least sociable people there is, was effortlessly coaxed into chatting for 30 minutes with two people I’d never met and will never see again, and enjoyed every minute of it.

folks here are very welcoming, they have delicious coffee (the ONLY place I know which has cold-brew decaf!) - excellent bowls and granola. Several varieties of smoothies. Will definitely come back!

Love Cafe has changed ownership so the previous reviews are for the former owners. We rode two hours to find that out so hopefully, I can save someone else the trip. The staff is nice enough to bring you in the door but the coffee needs work and by work I mean COFFEE! It was giving brown water vibes. We paid and left instead of ordering food so I can not rate that. I am hoping that they get settled in and re-establish a great reputation.

We love, love, love the Love Cafe. Three generations always finding something yummy and we have vegan, keto and food allergies to deal with and everyone's happy. Seriously yummy!

I ordered three "drinks" and two other food items online to pick up. The food was ready 15 mins earlier than stated, text message let me know. The service and hospitality was out of the world great. I have found my new lunch spot for sure. Take a look at the bowl I got. We'll worth the money!! Great job folks - keep it up!! 😊

Came in off 85 for a quick lunch and could not have chosen better. Love Cafe's selection of bowls is wide ranging and allows for personalization if you choose. We got the Victoria -- chicken, quinoa and a whole bunch of tasty fresh veggies complimented with a Korean BBQ sauce and Sriracha mayo. Excellent, and healthy. The iced cold brew was also good. Quick service and personable staff.

This is a great place for anyone who wants healthy delicious food! It is a little pricey but considering the economy and the fact that they are using fresh ingredients, it makes sense. I got a delicious breakfast wrap with eggs, Spinach, feta and cherry tomatoes while my daughter had an açaí, blueberry, strawberry, banana bowl plus we shared a protein shake. It came to $28 plus tax. Still, it was very filling and I believe worth it since I felt full on our long drive home plus I didn't suffer like I would have if I had some quick fast food glop. The staff was friendly and sweet plus the owner was there and she was nice as well. It is an open concept so, if inside, you can easily hear conversations of others. I didn't mind as staff was also fun loving and sweet towards each other which was adorable. I have been in similar situations and to hear employees and owners talking disrespectfully to each other makes the experience terrible. Five stars for your staff and their hearts❣️ I loved that they had an easy to understand menu which clearly guided anyone who was eating Gluten Free, Keto, Vegan or Vegetarian. Also, breakfast is served all day so even though it was already afternoon, I had a breakfast wrap. Great options!

PERFECT cafe. 6 min off 85. Chance find driving through. If you're wondering if it's good for a lunch stop in your drive, do it. Fresh salads, sandwiches, bowls, organic, GF, Veg, or get steak in your salad. Smoothies, breakfast, pastries. Great organic coffee. Very reasonably priced. Oh, and friendly people, clean bathroom, wifi. Tables inside or out or take-out.

I found this little gem while taking a break from the road. If you're ever in this area do yourself a favor and stop in for coffee or a meal. Not only is the atmosphere amazing so are the people inside including the owner Victoria, who was Hands-On and a pleasure to chat with. I had a grilled cheese and red pepper soup along with a caramel macchiato. That is the best red pepper soup I've ever had and I wanted to turn the bowl up while I was there and just drink it but decided to be a little more proper and use the spoon they gave me. My coffee was perfect as well. I highly recommend. I am so looking forward to my next time through this area so that I can stop in and try yet another delicious dish. Kudos Victoria and team looking forward to my next visit!
