Our Guestbook
“ 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 ”
“ I was in the area and this spot popped up. Probably one of the most modern artful interiors I’ve seen from a coffee/restaurant shop. I had their latte with almond milk. It was the perfect temperature and the flavor was on point. I’d definitely come back here again and try their other menu items. Solid spot and parking limited to street. ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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 :) ”
“ Big shout out to the sweet barista girl who made us the best matcha latte and vanilla latte! She was so friendly and her smile truly brightened our day. Even our dogs loved this cafe! We actually drive 30 minutes from Diamond Bar just to come here because we love their coffee so much. Highly recommend! ”
“ Stopped by on a Friday morning and this place was popping. Very friendly staff greeted me and the line went quick. Cold brew is super smooth and the breakfast burrito (BLUE?!?!) is bomb. Got the steak with green salsa. Omgggg it’s good. Worth the slight wait I had for sure. ”
“ 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! ”
“ Try the limited release off their honey nut cheerio latte! Very subtle sweetness, the oat milk comes through just perfect! Check out our Video review on @courtesy.vlogs where we review local coffee shops! This place has a dope work from coffee shop environment, and unique art all around ”
