"What a hidden gem in the heart of tipton. Very cute and quaint. My friend loved his eggs Benedict and I enjoyed my blt. The chicken tortilla soup was a little bland but not bad. My husband ordered a black bean vegan burger and they accidentally gave him a vegan burrito but he said it was very good and they even took it off the bill! Our server was very apologetic and we loved the atmosphere. Will definitely dine here again."

"The Love Bug Cafe is such a gem! Their burgers are juicy and full of flavor, the fries are perfectly crispy, and the house-made condiments and cookies are next-level good. The whole place has a charming, vintage vibe that makes you want to stay a while. The owner goes above and beyond to make sure every customer leaves happy — truly some of the best service I’ve experienced anywhere. Highly recommend stopping in if you’re nearby (and definitely don’t skip the cookies)!"

"I love this place so much. Not only is this place so beautiful & inviting Her food is delicious too! I have used this place for my daughters 1st birthday as well as many work take out orders! Everyone is so friendly & treats you like family. I've introduced her food to family & friends near and far on many occasions. Greek Orzo bowls are an all time fave. Breakfast i love the OG bagel sandwich & hashbrown casserole."

"As the Circuit Court Clerk of Tipton County, I am also the Administrator of the Election in our county. That means feeding over 150 hungry pollworkers! I hired Abbey and her crew to do just that and they checked off every box. The person I hire needs to be able to deliver to multiple locations as early as 6 am for breakfast, keep the meals hot, deliver again at lunch time, again with hot meals while juggling multiple locations and including an afternoon snack for the pollworkers, all while staying professional and appreciating the integrity of the voting process. I could not have chosen a better person to have done the job! As a resident of the community, I have enjoyed rehearsal dinners, baby showers, fundraisers and more that have been hosted in this absolutely beautiful location. Not to mention the meals I have shared with my family just because. And to not see Abbey or her dad making a delivery to my office at least 2 to 3 times a week would be unheard of. This business is the true meaning of love in a community! Thank you Abbey and your wonderful team for what you have brought to Tipton!"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We’ve visited The Love Bug more times than I can count, and it truly never disappoints! It has that cozy kitchen vibe of your Gran’s or favorite Aunt that makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in or pull up to their adorable food truck. The food is absolutely delicious, with the perfect mix of comfort favorites and creative new dishes. As a stay-at-home mom, their delivery service has been a total lifesaver. Being able to get that same homemade, heartwarming food brought right to our door is amazing, especially on those extra-busy days or when my toddler only wants french toast! Everything they do, from the yummy food to the friendly service, feels full of love and care (which fits their name perfectly!). The Love Bug is truly one of our favorite local gems, and we’ll keep coming back again and again! (Fave’s: Sushi bowl, French Toast, Pumpkin French Toast, Avocado Toast)."

"Went for the first time while visiting from out of state. So happy to see more restaurants and coffee shop type places like this opening up in Tipton! The cafe is a home converted to a cafe downstairs and an Airbnb is available upstairs. There's a good amount of seating including a couch area with a tic tac toe board. The menu has a good selection and variety for the size of the cafe. The service was very friendly and the food and cold brew coffee were delicious! I had french toast with a side of cheesy hash browns and a specialty cold brew coffee and my 4 year old had the cheeseburger kids meal with fries. Everything was fresh. They also sell a small selection of local made jewelry and lotions. I highly recommend checking it out and dining in! The outside of the building has the sign for the catering business that the owner also operates out of the back of the building but if you're at a green house behind the library then you're in the right spot"

"I hosted my twins birthday party there, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Everything from the setup to the catering was absolutely top-notch. It was truly stress-free, which as a mom is saying a lot! The food was amazing, beautifully presented, and tasted even better than it looked. My kids are still talking about the chip dip, they’re officially obsessed! It was such a warm, welcoming, one-stop experience that made celebrating easy and enjoyable. I can’t thank The Green House team enough for making our day so special. We’ll definitely be back for future events!"

"Not only is the food at The Love Bug Food Truck & Café amazing, but the people are even better. Have you ever just wanted to go sit in your grandma’s kitchen again? That’s exactly what this place feels like. You can cry, vent, laugh, get roasted, and still leave feeling completely loved and cared for—all in one visit. Abby has created something really special here. She’s real, hilarious, and genuinely one of the best people around… and she makes a mean breakfast sandwich (and pretty much everything else). 10/10 recommend."
