WEST COVINA A new destination for specialty coffee, cream topped drinks and Korean style donuts is opening inside Haven City Market, adding another local business to West Covina’s growing food and beverage scene.
Ladd Coffee announced that its grand opening will take place on August 1 and 2 from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. The shop is located at 987 South Glendora Avenue in West Covina.
Ahead of the celebration, Ladd Coffee is operating through a soft opening and serving customers daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., according to information shared by the business on Instagram.
The new cafe is placing Korean inspired flavors and presentation at the center of its menu. Social media images from the business show colorful iced drinks, including green tea and strawberry flavored beverages, served in clear cups carrying the shop’s bold blue and white logo. Other posts highlight thick cream toppings and fresh donuts designed to pair with coffee and tea.
The grand opening promotion will include a free donut for the first 300 guests who purchase a drink, according to an announcement posted by Ladd Coffee. Additional giveaways are also expected during the opening weekend.
The arrival of Ladd Coffee reflects the continued popularity of Korean cafe culture across Southern California. Many cafes influenced by trends in Seoul and other Korean cities focus on carefully presented drinks, sweet cream toppings, fruit flavors and desserts that are meant to be enjoyed alongside coffee.
Ladd Coffee appears to be bringing that experience to a casual market setting, where visitors can stop for a drink or dessert while exploring the other food vendors at Haven City Market.
The business has also developed a distinctive visual identity. Its logo features the words Ladd Coffee arranged in large white letters against a bright blue background. That design appears throughout the cafe’s cups, signs and promotional materials, giving the new shop a recognizable look.
Haven City Market has become a gathering place for diners seeking a variety of foods under one roof. The addition of a specialty coffee and donut shop gives visitors another option for breakfast, an afternoon treat or an evening dessert.
For local residents, the grand opening offers an opportunity to try the cafe’s drinks and donuts while taking advantage of the opening promotion. Customers may also visit during the soft opening period before the official celebration.
Ladd Coffee has not yet released a complete menu through the information shown on its social media profile, but its posts suggest that cream topped beverages, iced coffee, tea based drinks and Korean inspired donuts will be among the main offerings.
The business describes itself as a destination for coffee, cream top drinks and Korean donuts. Its opening adds to the range of independent cafes and dessert shops that have gained attention throughout the San Gabriel Valley and the eastern Los Angeles County area.
Ladd Coffee is currently open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily during its soft opening. Grand opening hours on August 1 and 2 will be from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Customers can find the shop inside Haven City Market at 987 South Glendora Avenue in West Covina. Updates are available through the business’s Instagram account, @ladd.coffee.
