Located in Plaza West Covina, Cafe Valer is a small family-owned cafe open daily from 9 a.m to 7:30 p.m. with indoor and outdoor seating available, providing a quiet place to those wanting to get their work done or study. Studying at a cafe gives customers the opportunity to also consume espresso drinks, smoothies, sandwiches and more.

It's a pretty good place,” Urbina said.
