“We have gone to Divo Diva many times since I discovered this place in October the best place ever. The food is great. The coffee is amazing. The dinner OperA shows are outstanding. Never had a bad experience. I wish I knew about this place sooner I have told my friends about this place and they love it as well. We all look forward to the dinner shows. It is just a lovely Rosario and Victoria are genuine and super friendly. We love this place. The atmosphere is fresh and quaint. It is nicely decorated for whatever season or holiday. I love the Roman Holiday poster of Audrey Hepburn on a Vespa. Coming to this place is like an escape and a treat. Oh, speaking of treats, their gelato is the best. Feels like I’m in Italy.”

“My favorite local coffee shop. The guy with the glasses in the back is always doing his laboratory experimentation wizardry to roast the perfect bean. They cycle different roasts every few days and there’s always a specialty roast available. I always look forward to going in there and seeing what roast is available. Today’s was a Costa Rican and it was delicious. The workers at this coffee shop are all kind. My espresso machine has been down this summer so I’ve been going in frequently, they all learned my name and my order. It’s always a treat to go in there.”

“This review is about the gelato. I had heard they serve gelato here, but haven’t heard much about it, so I was on a mission to discover for myself. I was pleasantly surprised by the many flavor options they had. Plus that they allow more than the posted 2 samples per person as long as it’s not busy. My favorite flavor was pistachio. It was thick and creamy, and not salted like how some other creameries are salting their pistachio. It tasted like pistachio and not like almond / amaretto. The black sesame flavor was okay. The taro flavor was very fleeting. My husband liked the cookies and cream and pistachio. Service is friendly and the a/c is strong (great for summer!). Tables and chairs are a bit run down. Parking can be a little tight and hard to find in the parking lot.”

“We love this cafe!! We always make a point to go when we are in San Diego for over 16 years now. Sadly something happened to the cinnamon rolls. My husband always gets the cinnamon roll French toast and if we don't order rolls for the table, and make a point to take some home. They were always incredibly good, delicious and fresh but I don't know if the recipe changed, but they were not that good. Hopefully next time we visit, they will be.”

The texture was creamy and the sweetness was pleasant, though I would have liked a slightly stronger matcha taste. The cafe had a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere and the staff were friendly. Solid drink overall, and I'd happily come back and try something else from the menu.”

Conveniently located at the Metro terminal next to Fashion Valley, lots of parking, super nice server, good prices and delicious coffee. What is not to love. My frozen caramel latte was blended to perfection and my Mom said her hot mocha was just right. Located right across from the River Walk if you care to stroll with your coffee.”
