This place is super rad and their pistachio croissants are delicious! Life changing, is an understatement! If you are in downtown La Mesa, then you need to stop by and grab one of these little slices of heaven!!

Atmosphere, drinks and service are good. Matcha was nice and bright green. Good place to study, music not so loud. But cleanliness is really disappointing with tables, chairs and floors filled with crumbs.

Really good food and coffee but a bit expensive. I got a bagel and a coffee for $20 which feels like a bit much.

The coffee itself is ok, which is why I’ve come back more than once. Unfortunately, the experience around pricing has made me feel uncomfortable each time.

On one visit, I was charged a surcharge without being informed beforehand. On top of that, there was an additional “ additional charge” added to the order. This was confusing and frustrating, especially since there’s no table service or extra amenities that would explain added fees.

The second time I visited, the prices charged didn’t match the prices listed on the menu. When I asked about the difference, I was told the prices had changed and that the menu just hadn’t been updated yet but there was no notice or heads up before ordering.

I don’t mind paying fair prices, but transparency matters. Unexpected surcharges and inconsistent menu pricing make the experience feel sneaky rather than welcoming. I hope they address this, because the coffee itself is solid, but the lack of clear communication makes it hard to enjoy coming back

Check the COOKIE/pastry BOX there are a TON of Fruit FLYS or small Flys inside it very disgusting was gonna get a cookie but saw close to 100+ flys inside the pastry BOX. WHOA worst part they didn’t seem to even care about it.

Who was the genius who came up with the idea of ​​serving food in takeaway boxes? Try cutting a croissant or a sandwich in that box.

Semi-dry croissants for $7
Coffee was ok

This place is quite amazing, from the vibes to the drinks I would recommend it to anyone who wants coffee and keep in mind I do NOT live near this place, I’ve tried a handful of iced coffees and a few food items and I’ve had good luck everytime my only complaint would possibly be that they put a little to much milk in the coffees but you can just tell them to go light, amazing place!

The iced turkish coffee is rich and yummy. I like to order mines iced with oatmilk. They have sugar free options in lattes. Their acai bowls are pretty tasty. Cute shop and friendly staff.
