When you’re there, check out the sustainable packaging/take out carrier they made out of an Oatmilk bottle. Super sick!

Cute cafe with tasty drinks and fun seasonal menu. Really enjoyed the mango matcha!

Normal vibe and unfriendly staff.
The croissant is not very fresh… overpriced.

Amazing place !
Coffee is so good, food as well. Such nice girls on the counter. Sad I found this place too late :(

Absolutely loved lil dove! The place is pretty small - there are maybe 5-6 tables pretty close together but it’s a vibe inside and they’ve got a nice curated collection of gifts to buy.

Overall - coffee was solid and we loved their breakfast sandwiches. Will be back!

Some of the best coffee in the neighborhood and lovely breakfast sammies!

Very cute little place. The decoration is beautiful, the ambience is extraordinary and the coffee was good. They sell some nice lil items (bit expensive in my opinion but very cute) Even when you have your coffee in, it's served in a paper cup. I enjoy it better in a ceramic cup but hey this might be an American thing. I think having the coffee in a paper cup changes the taste of the coffee. The 3 girls at the till were super smiley and friendly. Pet friendly also which is a plus ❤️. All in all I totally recommend this place.

They need more seating, but the establishment is very cute! The staff are great, but the food is under seasoned and the coffee left me feeling very dehydrated for some reason. I’m a regular coffee drinker and have not experienced this before when ordering from other places.

Lil dove is a gem in JC! They always have the cutest decor, unique products, and BEST coffee! Sometimes I just come here to decompress from my day and they always are welcoming to everyone including cute dogs. The staff changes sometimes but the owner always makes sure to be hands-on *daily* whether its taking orders or even being in the kitchen. She is the reason this place is consistent and never disappoints. I love this place and reccommend it to anyone living or visiting JC.
