30 Best Coffee Shops in Escondido

“The BEST coffee+boba I’ve ever tried! So glad I tried them out, definitely my go to from now on.“

“I had an absolutely delicious iced matcha latte at Blue Mug yesterday. The matcha flavor was superb and it was perfect for the heat wave. The bathroom was clean, and the staff was friendly. It was very nice inside and a great place to grab coffee, a pastry, or a sandwich. I cannot wait to go back.“

“Best coffee in San Diego!“

“e well, she is a managers. They’re very friendly and outspoken and really nice people. 😊“

“I went to treat myself as it's my birthday. When I ordered, from a very nice man, he smiled when I ordered whipped cream and asked if it was a special occasion. I said it was my birthday. He then told me my drink was free. I was wished a happy birthday by 2 employees and 3 other customers. It really made my day a happy one. Thank you, I'll be back!!“

“Best Gelato I have ever had!“

“I recently had a fundraising event and Sunny Side was such a great choice for catering. After I sent an email, I got a call back and we walked through the order and right sized it. The guests really enjoyed an artichoke quiche, strawberry chicken salad and three types of mini cookies. Everyone raved about the food. It was all packaged up to be easy to serve. I would highly recommend working with Sunny Side on your next catering need!“

“Best local coffee! The lovely aroma of freshly roasted coffee is heavenly!“

“If you’re looking for a cozy spot in Escondido with a laid-back vibe and great service, Kettle Coffee and Tea is the place to be. The atmosphere is super casual, making it perfect for hanging out or getting some work done. The staff is friendly and quick, which is always a plus. Their sandwiches are delicious! I had a BLT that they customized for me by adding sprouts, spinach, and cheese. I even added extra bacon—because, really, who doesn’t love more bacon? The sandwiches are always on point here. I did have a funny little mix-up during my visit. I went to the counter to check on my regular drip coffee with three shots of espresso (I love my coffee strong!) and the lady said, “Here’s your BLT!” Confused, I replied, “I’m already eating one but it wasn’t the one I had ordered but that’s ok because I was hungry.” Turns out they printed my ticket twice. I offered to pay for the extra sandwich, but they insisted it was on the house. I ended up giving the extra BLT to one of our local homeless residents, which felt good. Overall, Kettle Coffee and Tea is a fantastic spot with yummy food and a welcoming staff. Definitely recommend!“

“The baristas are the most chill people I have ever met. Even when the line gets a bit long they do not rush you at all and are always willing to answer questions. My kids and I absolutely love their drinks! I highly recommend their new frozen fuel drink and you can add up to three different flavorings to it. Absolutely yummy!“

“I went to O’Brien’s for the first time today. My Mother-in-law highly recommended the restaurant so I could meet my friend. The food was delicious. The service was great- Thank You Sarah and team. I am so excited to try the different types of breads and pastries. O’ Brien’s is known for their delicious breads, especially sour dough. If you are in the San Diego area, differently check out this restaurant! Sit down and relax with your favorite cup of coffee or tea with a sweet pastry, great bread or something from their delicious menu.“

“Incredible folks out here at James. Really a locals-only gem in Escondido. Pastries can't be beat; the cortado gives me hope. ☕️🥐“

“To the man who was working on February 20 at around 6pm, that was the best iced caffe latte I have ever had. He made it with a smile on his face and was very passionate to help us out even though im indecisive. Genuinely made my entire week! Give this man a raise!!!“

“Walking in, you walk into a colorful trinket covered store but with hearty portions of breakfast. Service is quick. We have gotten quickly seated every time we went and they also prep a small portion plate for our son - plate of fruit, whip cream, and crackers, while we're reviewing the menu. High chairs are available. Parking has never been a problem the two times we went. We felt quite at home every time we went, so this is one of our frequent locations to go to for brunch. Also trinkets are available for purchase! If you're looking for huge portions, this is your place to go. They don't skimp out.“

“Cute little place“

“5 stars isn’t enough for Tea Monks Escondido! I had an amazing experience here, and I owe it all to the incredible service from Lorena. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure I had everything I needed. The bubble tea was delicious, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. If you’re looking for a great spot to grab a drink and relax, look no further than Tea Monks Escondido. Thanks again, Lorena, for everything!“

“Good store. Missing some refuse containers outside the NEW building.“

“I LOVE ME SOME DUTCH BROS!!!!! Peeps are amazingly AWESOME!!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE me my aquaberry rebel!!!!!!

THANK YOU DUTCH FOR BEING FABULOUS!!!!“

“Little hole in the wall deli I found on Google maps. Ordered a pastrami sandwich and was surprised with a bacon turkey club when I got back to my office. Was going to get upset until I took a bite and was amazed on how good the wrong sandwich tasted! I look forward to actually getting a pastrami next time to see how good that is! Good job ladies! You know how to make a mean sandwich!“

“Updated review. I was definitely unlucky the first time I ordered taro pearl milk tea here but I tried this location again and it was pretty good!As long as the consistency stays up, I'd definitely recommend giving this location a try if you're craving pearl milk tea.“

“I love this place - the people are always smiling and happy to help! Not to mention how good the treats are! I love the 4oz Dubai strawberry cup 😋 if you have a sweet tooth but want something not so big to hit the spot, it's definitely this little cup that packs a punch 😀 😉 my son got the Dubai milkshake w/almond milk and OMG 😲 yeah that hit a spot for him!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE IF YOU HAVENT STOPPED IN. I just wish I didn't wait so long.“

“Verdaderamente buenisimos....“

“Took Tulla for her first Pup Cup! Service was great at drive through!“

“Josh and the whole crew are great. It was Halloween and we got a good laugh. When the whole crew is there they rock. Some people would say only coffee. Its more than venri“

“Great Starbucks and location, easy to hop on/off the freeway. Every time I order here, my food and drink is ready in under 10 minutes, sometimes it's already out for pick-up inside 5 min after I order. Have never had any issues. Last time I was here, they wrote a nice message on my cup!“

“Employees at this Starbucks are always very nice 😊“

“Delicious Boba Tea. I loved the Taro, that's my goto, but they have a large number of signature flavors I can't wait to try. Multiple addons, different boba styles. Support our local boba!! I'm trying to get back in shape but a couple bobas a week won't hurt, right?“

“Their soft serve is so good! Everything they serve is so generously portioned, we have to share anything we get here. Their matcha is authentic and they really perfected it in everything they make. Their ube flavor soft serve is also very good, not overly sweet or fake-tasting. There's so many things on the menu that you can have add-ons to and such. There's a few tables and a super cute little nook with counters and seats perfect for studying or hanging out.“
