This is my favorite coffee spot on campus. I want to say thank you to Edgar! He was so nice to answer my question and gave me a good recommendation! Nice coffee taste :)

An awesome hang out place on campus to also get some studying/work done. The atmosphere is great and the coffee is delicious, but ordering can sometimes take a while.

Ultra kind, cozy, and full of loveWith delicious beverages of all kinds and a large variety of pastries snacks and anything else a college student may need. With a spread of outlets and a variety of seating arrangements I'm sure M.O.M. will fit any college students needs (as long as it's not already full in there by the time you get in)

Vegetarian options: Vegan pastries, and drinks!! great choices for everyone! (although cross contamination is possible, so be cautious if you have an allergy)

Super crowded, especially at lunch time. I spent 30 mins to get a 16oz coffee ?

MOM’s Cafe is perennial favorite among UC San Diego students. It’s the only student run cafe on campus. Feels like a true college cafe with couches, student art, laid back vibe. Some popular specialty drinks are designed by baristas with names like Self Love and Polar Bear. Curls & Swells Black beauty product store was recently opened in 2023. Easter egg: The Muir College time capsule is buried under a rock in the middle of the floor.

This is one of the best places to get coffee on campus. It's incredibly cozy, with tons of couches, chairs, and study nooks. The pastries are amazing and the iced teas are incredibly refreshing (and there are so many options). The staff is really nice and always has recommendations. This is a great place to study, meet up with friends, or just have a cup of coffee in the morning. Plus, you get a cute custom MoMs sticker with every order! :))

Vegetarian options: They have tons of vegan pastries that taste amazing (from the perspective of a non-vegan :) They also have oat, soy, and almond milk.

Dietary restrictions: Lots of vegan options and milk alternatives.

Moms really opened up the space to have more tables and chairs inside. Great atmosphere to refresh or get some computer work done while on campus. My TARO latte was beautiful and yummy!

Thanks to

Do you hate Geisel? Do you prefer a more ‘liberal arts college’ feel to your studying experience?If so, come here to study.In all seriousness, the cafe part is pretty good and they sometimes host events here in the evening, which can be fun.Only minus is it can definitely get busy!

Staff are usually super sweet and kind and the coffee is really good and made with care.Usually hard to find a decent table and very limited access to outlets.

Loved their chai latte

Ice tea had good flavor and the baked goods looked delicious
