Love Coffee Bar

Love Coffee Bar in Mar Vista offers a cozy, welcoming atmosphere with expertly crafted coffee and unique drinks.

Some connections transcend years. There are people you meet, and even after decades apart, you can pick up right where you left off—like no time has passed at all. Reconnecting with Brett was one of those rare and beautiful moments, a reminder of the kind of friendships that remain intact despite the years and the distance.

As we settled into conversation, I found myself savoring a ROSEMARY LATTE (House made rosemary simple syrup, espresso & milk). It was piping hot, fragrant, and utterly delicious, mirroring the warmth of our exchange. Every sip felt like a small indulgence, complementing the depth of our discussion in the most unexpected way.

There is something profoundly moving about conversations that explore grief, loss, and the resilience of the human spirit. As we spoke about the aftermath of the devastating LA fires, the utter pain and full force impact of losing a parent, and the ways in which we navigate the hardest parts of life, I was reminded of the power of honest, unfiltered dialogue.

In the moments of life, it is rare and enriching to sit across from someone and truly connect. I found it refreshing to strip away pretense, to share raw emotions, and to acknowledge the universal truths that make us human.

That late morning, over a simple cup of coffee, I was reminded that some conversations leave an imprint on me. And, I am better for them.
