This is my favorite location that they have. Not only is it the closest to my house, but the customer service here is usually the best. They actually greet you, ask you what they can get you instead of just staring at you, and they respond when you say thank you. I love their iced champ. It’s sometimes hard to find coffee that isn’t overly sweet and they have the ratio down to a T. My only complaint is that I really miss their homemade donuts! Please bring them back 😫

Just came in for the first time today and loved it! The guy working there was really friendly and jut happy to be there. The coffee was amazing and I usually don’t like coffee. Would definitely recommend checking this place out!

Love the coffee but I come for the food. Every single item they sell is delicious, from the donuts to the almond cake to the protein bowls (with no added sugar!!)… so, so good. Also happen to have the cutest swag. 10/10 would recommend.

The baristas were friendly and patient in taking our order. I found that the coffee is not my preference.

This is a super cute little hidden gem. It's almost like a walk up coffee stand and everything tastes homemade and fresh with a handcrafted charm. I got avocado toast with the most gorgeous display of flora on top and it was delicious.

This has been my go-to drink spot for years! It’s the only place I’ve ever gone to with consistently good matcha, and the baristas are super friendly and have always made me feel welcome. Awesome vibes 💜

I've been here a few times. Each time I've met with people who have a bad attitude, and that make the drinks poorly

The last time I went, my drink was basically a massive glob of mucus-like syrup. It was gross.

The only somewhat positive thing I can say is that the chia pudding tasted okay. But, for the size + price you pay to get it, that's not saying much.

Would not come back to this location. If you like the franchise, go to a different one.

It's a cool coffee shop in La Mesa, but the prices are more expensive than coffee shops in Beverly Hills and Dubai. How does anyone in East county afford coffee here?

This is the best coffee in La Mesa. I have not had anything to eat there just the coffee.
