Drinks are so good! I’m a coffee connoisseur and their shots always come out so smoother and yummy. Their bourbon flavor is yummy not too sweet and their customer service is so good! The sweetest people great place and smells good all the time. Also the food is delicious! my go-to coffee shop :)

Cool music, local art, and a graffiti wall in the bathroom (bring a pen). The breakfast burritos? Legendary. Blue flour tortillas that are chewy, warm, and stuffed to perfection. The steak burrito is fire, the classic with bacon hits every time… and yes, a CHILAQUILES burrito exists and it slaps.
The coffee? Chef’s kiss. Perfectly roasted, bold but balanced, and their espresso drinks are artisan-level—smooth, rich, and crafted with care. They’ve got the good ice (IYKYK), so your iced latte game is strong.
Pro tip: order ahead—weekend waits get long, but trust me, so worth it.

Wait 20 minutes for a simple americano? Come here. You’ll have a great time!

The service here is actually amazing. We ordered some drinks online through DoorDash and they had arrived an hour late. This was not the business’s fault so we called and told them about how the drinks were late and did not taste how we expected. The owner told us he would remake and bring us the drinks to us personally. He arrived within 15-20 minutes with newly made drinks and an extra one as well. I’m really impressed by the service and would recommend Lift to anyone. I love supporting Local Businesses here in Whittier and Lift is definitely one of my top 5

Have been coming to Lift for a couple of years now at least twice a month only for their burritos. Their burritos are great. Their staff has always been on top of things even though it may take them a while to make drinks or burritos. After the tragic event with their food truck explosion things have changed for the worse unfortunately. The place looks very lackluster and the staff has changed somewhat. Today I was unlucky to have a terrible experience where a customer arrives at the store after I placed an order for a burrito and places a large order of burritos. After 20 minutes of waiting I am approached by a staff member to tell me they no longer have burritos. A lot of actions could have been taken to remedy or even prevent this situation but Iafter coming here for so long I can’t help but feel like clients are not valued here. Whittier is growing with more businesses that will value each client.

It's a lovely little local spot and I like that they have a little bit of outdoor seating. Pastries are tasty! I would like to see them have real mugs/cups for customers eating and drinking in so I don't have to use the non-recyclable cups for to go orders. If they have a bring your own cup thing, they should advertise it or give a discount if possible!

I love this cafe. Great environment to meet people or get some work done. I normally get the brown sugar bourbon latte but they have an awesome chai and Spanish latte. The star of the show has to be the chorizo burrito, it’s DELICIOUS! 😮💨
If you are in a rush to get to work this is not the place they take too long to make you’re drink and for a medium latte 9.13 not worth all the wait honestly IT IS GOOD AND NICE PLACE

I love to support small businesses but this place takes approximately 20 minutes to serve coffee and 40+ to serve a simple burrito. I just can’t, don’t have the time to idle.

Wasn't open anymore... and we drove all the way here for their Chai! Wish it would've been listed as closed...

The coffee is a delicious roast and makes great espresso based drinks. The mocha is on point and it properly steamed and mixed for chocolate throughout the latte. I loved the tablet ordering process for quick access but they have very hospitable baristas to ring you up if preferred.
