29 Best Coffee Shops in Escondido

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

“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.“

“On our vacay to the area, we enjoyed the coffee so much on our first visit that we came back for more! The barista was friendly and explained some of their house syrups and I ended up choosing the dulche de leche latte. It was amazing! It was smooth and milky and had the perfect amount of caramel sweetness. Great espresso and perfectly steamed milk too. Pictured: plain latte and dulche de leche latte!“

“Always awesome service and yummy drinks especially hot weather in Escondido. Way better than any boboa places. Worth the try“

“Best coffee in San Diego!“

“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!“

“So good! It's my new fave. I love it here. Get the app too, lots of specials and savings with the app. Great coffee! Some seating. Drive through always looks so full but it moves quickly so don't be deterred. Can park and walk up to window which is also fast. Interesting concoctions, I highly recommend!!“

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

“As someone with a soy and sesame allergy, it’s hard to find places to eat that can accommodate. Elmisa Cafe easily accommodated my allergens- their bread comes certified soy and sesame free from the baker- and their ingredients are fresh! Try the Rula, you won’t regret it!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“I'm usually really scared to try Taro Milk Tea at boba places outside of my local ones, but this one was really great!!! The person who served me, Alexa, was also really nice and sweet, and was also really patient when I was hesitating on what to order lol. I hope to come back again whenever I'm in the area!!“

“I enjoy coming here to grab a quick pick me up, especially when I’m on a tight schedule. Every time I’ve gone here, everyone has been friendly and the service has been great! If there is a line for the drive thru, it usually goes pretty fast and I’m out within 5 minutes“

“Order the #67! Your kids will make the joke and you'll eat one of the best omelets you've ever had. The chef is amazing and the waitresses (we usually get seated with Candy or Brenda) give the best service! This is the best place for breakfast in Escondido.“

“Friendly staff, quick service, delicious drinks, fun atmosphere! Super chill California vibe with exceptional service! I tried the “Golden Eagle” which is a coffee drink that has vanilla and caramel, so good! They have drive thru and a walk up/pick up window!“

“Have been a long time fan of Tina’s Deli on twin oaks. Was over in Escondido around the automotive area and looked here for best sandwich near me and saw this saw right around the corner. Had the turkey with bacon on sourdough and was happy! Great ingredients. Very good sourdough. Be back soon.“

“Went recently after watching a movie with my family and happened to stumble on this shop since it’s beside the theatre in the shopping centre. Once we got inside we were immediately greeted by the staff and were graciously guided through the menu. From aesthetic milkshakes to tasty chocolate covered strawberries they had a variety of options for everyone in the family. My mother ended up trying the Dubai strawberry cup with chocolate drizzle and pistachio cream drizzled throughout the cup. The cup was made with a good ratio of strawberries and drizzle where each bite had a bit of everything. My brother ended up ordering lava cake with vanilla ice cream, it was a covered in dark chocolate and had a very decadent smell. The ice cream given to us was a very big scoop which let every bite of the lava cake pair with the smooth ice cream. I was particularly interested in the build your own experience as they provided a variety of options to create the best product for each person exactly how they want it, making it unique for everyone. I ended up enjoying the mini pancakes covered with dark chocolate drizzle and I learned they serve Belgian chocolate which is my favourite. The store was clean and the atmosphere was nostalgic with the rock feature wall. The staff was very friendly and patient, doing their best to satisfy their customers. Overall would recommend and will be coming back again with my friends“

“Cute little place“

“Muchisimas graciaa por el pastel de Donas de la graduacion de Chollas Elementary School 2022 quedaron facinados y estaban riquisimas Vicly y miszy las mejores donas de escondido y como siempre muy amables graxiassss“

“Friendly people, quick service, good coffee, just okay matcha.
But it’s a good place to grab a quick drink or bite at the mall. There’s a decent seating area and everything is always clean and well-stocked. Prices high but again, it’s the mall.“

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

“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“

“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?“

“The Matcha and the toasted green tea ice-cream was good, it wasn't too sweet. I got a Maiko jelly parfait medium for $11.31 and it was underwhelming. The jelly was half frozen and not from the ice cream as at the bottom of the cup i could see peices of ice. The agar had a good texture and the mochi was tasty. I probably wont come here again but i am not unhappy that I bought it. I just think that this place isn't for my tastes. But customer service was nice and let me sample their ice creams before ordering and they have a self service kiosk if you know what you like/want.“

“Verdaderamente buenisimos....“

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