Always so sloowww, even when multiple baristas are working with few patrons

Best coffee on campus. If you're in a rush, you can order ahead on the app. If you want to chat (and improve your day), take time to talk to any of the baristas here.

Aaron, the manager. and his whole make this an amazing experience with their ethos and kindness - on top of excellent coffee! Their Flat White and Cortado always made my day! Thank you so much and be blessed!

Asked for that new Pistachio cherry drink with oatmilk today. I am lactose intolerant and it should not have had milk. It absolutely killed me, and I'm still suffering. Buyer beware, or maybe the barista made a mistake.

Ngl I thought price is expensive considering their 20oz iced latte is more expensive than Venti iced latte from Starbucks. I just gave it a shot anyway and it tasted GOOD. Kind of worried because their working speed doesn't seems to be good at working many people at the same time, but they do have good coffee.

Love this place. Got coffee from somewhere else but it was unsweetened, so I came here and put syrup in it for free!! Such kind people

This is the first place that I've seen steep your tea, then give it to you; instead of just giving you hot water and a bag.

Few places show that much intentionality about tea.

How can man's hubris be so great as to think he can describe the experience of a cup of coffee through so faulty a medium as the English language. How can one describe the sublime sight of a setting sun to a blind man? Who can commit the ecstecies of the throws of love to a page with such deference to the original experience such that the reader may feel them herself? But none the less I shall try. To drink the coffee at the ucsd coffee stand is to in one moment comprehend the full grandure of G-d's creation. The acidity, flavor, and mouth feel are, in a word, transcendent. I of all people would know for I have watched every one of James Hoffman and Sprometheus' youtube videos. The coffee here cuts through the phenomenon of your sensory experiences like a bolt of lightning cutting through the spring breeze. To taste their coffee is to obtain an authentic experience of being that is beyond transmission by mere words. My only complaint is that Aaron, the barista, is not a simultaneously troubled and emotionally complex yet shallowly characterized woman played by Zooey Deschanel or Mary Elizabeth Winstead who will ultimately teach the protagonist of the story, me, how to love myself. For that they only get 4.68 stars which I have rounded up to a 5 for my review.

Coffee is quality, but it took me 15 minutes to have my order taken this morning. I was third in line, so the wait time was honestly unacceptable. Clearly there needs to be more than one barista working in the morning.
