50 Best Cafes near Coronado

“Best Cold Brew in Coronado! Shout out to Team Paige 💯“

“We had awesome service by Dern! He was polite, friendly and outgoing. (Killer now tie too!) He made our experience so fun! I even witnessed his care for his customers as I watched him ensure an elderly man did not fall walking to the bathroom. Also, he seemed to interact positively with his teammates too. Thanks Dern! The facility and restrooms were clean. It was like stepping back in time. There are a lot of nostalgic things to take in. My husband and I split a classic hamburger, crinkle fries and a strawberry malt. All of it was delicious. My husband said, “if we lived here, I’d be a regular.”“

“Absolutely love Calypso Café food is great. Service is beyond excellent 10 star all the way.“

“So delicious, sometimes I’m almost done with my🥤☕️ before I take a picture🤦🏻‍♀️ AND the pastries 🍩🥐 The donuts are yummy but don’t even get me started on the 🤤battery🤤croissants🤤👍🏼👍🏼.“

“Love my Coronado Better Buzz! If there were 10 stars, I’d give this crew a full 10/10 without hesitation. Top-tier service, my fav drink made perfectly, and a quick in-and-out that sets me up for the day. The vibe is upbeat, the space is spotless, and everyone is genuinely welcoming. And shoutout to Chris for the warmest greeting in town — instant mood boost every single morning. Cheers! ☕️“

“We visit the “Little Lion” on every trip to San Diego. It’s the absolute best brunch spot on Point Loma!“

“Handsdown one of the best brunch spots I’ve been (and I go to A LOT) delicious food, amazing coffee and extremely efficient and friendly service. Highly highly recommend. (We had the French toast, the goat sandwich and the goat pancakes + waffle sticks. All amazing. The latte’s and ube matcha were amazing as well)“

“highly recommend this place! AMAZING coffee, DELICIOUS acid bowls and incredible breakfast croissants. The owner is awesome and the staff is incredibly friendly. I will definitely be returning (:“

“I’m a local customer for over 25 years. I love this place every thing is well prepare with love. The owners are always happy to see the customers! One of my favorite is the Mexican Mocha, the breakfast sandwich. To say the least everything on the menu is excellent. I’ve rather support this small family coffee shop, then Starbucks. Thank you so much for caring for you’re customers and the great food. Many Blessings!“

“Very friendly staff. I got a monkey mocha and it was delicious. I saw the orange coconut cake and had to go back later to get some. It was amazing also.“

“Highly recommend- tell them it's your first and you get the tour of the menu and art. Great prices, food, drinks and outstanding service. See you there.“

“Great fun to be had at Coffee Cycle. Fun people, great coffee and if you ride a bike to the shop you will receive praise!“

“Great food! The only thing negative for us are the seating. It’s always crowded every time and there’s no restroom😔.“

“Todo riquisimo muy amables y atentos“

“Love the bakery and matcha latte!“

“The food was amazing, with the exception of the mashed potatoes. The consistency was soft, smooth, and airy, however, there was absolutely no taste. No seasoning, no salt pepper no butter no nothing. Really bland would not order again. The service and staff were absolutely amazing. Only suggestion other than mashed potato fix is the ambience or the inside decor reminds me of late 1990s Seattle grunge. It just seems like the restaurant is stuck in the 90s decor wise. Food was absolutely phenomenal and staff as always were amazing.“

“Great little coffee house in Normal Heights.“

“Audrey was the best! We came from Maine and short notice we were able to get a dozen cupcakes ordered for pickup with 2 days notice. They were fantastic and gone quickly!! Thank you again!!“

“la nieve muy deliciosa(Gelato) matcha late no esta muy concentrado como ami me gusta, el pan que venden muy rico, la chicas que atienden muy amables, pero sobre todo una vista maravillosa... P.D. precios accesibles.“

“I don't know what they put in their homefries, but this place belongs in the clean plate club. Maybe cuz they don't throw so so much sodium like a chain breakfast place would so I can enjoy it without feeling like crap afterwards, so thank you. I really do love this place and look forward to my takeouts. (Chicken fried steak was fire, ordered the #16 and added bell peppers and onions to my homefries [highly recommend]). Give this place a try, they've never let me down.“

“This cafe was the set of a ad for one of the scammy solitaire apps that constantly bombard the game you are trying to play on your phone. No I dont want to play Solitare Smash! Win Cash. But I am intrigued to try the Roo-Bru coffee I always see in the background of the many times this ad assaults my phone when I am playing a game.“

“We went on a Saturday morning, very cute inside but crowded (because it’s good!!) the staff was friendly, coffee options great, food options great, some street parking. My only consideration would be lack of seating during a busy time, but still a great business that I would return to.“

“Amazing cultural events. Ongoing. Something for everybody: music, dance, celebration.“

“My daughters & I visited this area in March & found this cute little cafe. It was so good we ate there 3 mornings in a row. Andrea greeted me by name on only our 2nd visit there. If you want a friendly, quaint little breakfast place I would highly recommend The Cliffs Cafe!“

“Because they have good music and they sing good love sherry“

“This is one of those coffee shops that you wish will stay exactly the way it is forever. Immaculate vibe, curated coffee selection, ceremonial grade matcha, and the service is so warm and inviting. They sometimes rotate some of their pastries and there is always one or a few that you eat and end up so happy. And you may or may not see it again. And that makes the experience there even more special. I absolutely love this place“

“Cannot wait to go back and enjoy the the food, excellent service and ambience of this restaurant. We often each brunch here and their chef events are amazing! I savor every bite 🤤“

“Charming atmosphere and wonderful tasting as well as beautiful dessert s.“

“We always make a point to stop by whenever we're in the area—sometimes we’ll even go out of our way just for this place! Everything is made with love, and it really shows. Our favorites are the White Mocha and the Dirty Chai—both are absolutely delicious!“

“Great customer service great food Great coffee Highly recommended“

“A great coffeehouse with a nurturing old-world atmosphere in a vibrant and pleasant environment.“

“Good matcha, not overly sweet. I prefer matcha bitter. They have so many choices for matcha drinks and fun seasonal flavors.

Alternative (plant based/vegan) milk choices.

Love the patient and friendly staff.

Plentiful seating inside and out. Normally not at all crowded when I go in early evenings, but it can get busy. Still totally worth the wait.

I love that they serve hot drinks without a plastic lid so I can be mindful of plastic consumption.

They also have snacks, sandwiches items for sale.

Thankfully they have a restroom for customers! Definitely a necessity in this neighborhood.

Five 🌟 stars - worth giving a tip.“

“Agrave Coffee has such great food! I love their soup and sandwich combo. Th portions are perfect, especially for small eaters. Everything tastes fresh and comforting, and the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. Definitely a spot I’d come back to again!“

“Nice place to relax and chill away from the house“

“1st time, won’t be the last....“

“amazing! I had their burger which was great! and their coconut shrimp on salad. which both were amazing! the salad dressing was so good. everything must be home made.“

“Was only in town for 2 days, saw this spot thought I would try it out, and was not disappointed! They have great coffee, food, and bread! And the customer service was amazing as well!“

“Thank you OLIVE! 🫒 Food was awesome, I ordered under my daughter Taylor’s name, the food was amazing! I had a South Swell which the pancakes were fresh and delicious and the eggs perfectly scrambled. Thank you to the staff but also to the very sweet brunette girl helping us with all our annoying requests! The sourdough toast was great also- very kid friendly, very nice for my babies! Very accommodating!!“

“We are visiting from England and wanted to check it out again. We were here six years ago. Our friends really enjoyed it. Loved sitting opposite the ocean. The food is still amazing.“

“Been to the spot for crepes a million times, always great food, friendly service, and fresh ingredients. Their whipped cream is amazing (I believe they make it in house?) Highly recommend. It’s a casual spot, but becomes a staple for us for dessert“

“We have been meeting a small group of friends there almost every week for several years and enjoy high-quality meals prepared to order as well as friendly owners and staff. Available outdoor seating is dog-friendly and Eddie, an owner, loves dogs! There are often specials posted out front that might be new items to try or regular menu items discounted a little. I often default to banana-walnut French toast breakfast or to any of several Mexican or Mexican-American breakfasts. Weekends can be busy but weekdays normally have no waiting. And, look around at the evolving decor of various mid-20th century items; you’ll find something that’ll evoke your memories or those of your grandparents. We’ll be back!“

“Phenomenal service. Be warned this is cash only, but luckily I carry cash on me usually for these reasons. Cheap coffee and definitely good quality. Nice drive through makes it an easy stop before work as well. Would recommend if you're in the area“

“Great drinks and food - with fantastic customer service!“

“Cute little coffee shop in OB! I love the vibe, it’s very aesthetic with lots of plants and thoughtful decor. They have a few tables inside as well as some outdoor seating. I ordered a latte, which was good.

The almond croissant was tasty at first, but the center was a bit off, it was overly gooey, and the filling didn’t seem fully cooked and tasted a little strange. Aside from that, the rest of it was really delicious. I also love that they have vegan options

Overall, it’s a great spot to study or get some work done, and the staff was very friendly too.“
