I had to be on a meeting and I had to move tables because there were so many people and a single Loud Talker. If the outdoor seating had been better I would have stayed longer“

The barista was friendly and explained some of their house syrups and I ended up choosing the dulche de leche latte. It was amazing! It was smooth and milky and had the perfect amount of caramel sweetness. Great espresso and perfectly steamed milk too. Pictured: plain latte and dulche de leche latte!“

“Simply the best! We’re visiting from the Washington, DC area and happened to find this incredible gem on our way to the wildlife park in Escondido. The perfectly blended coffee drinks, the delicious bakery selection & other food options, and the wonderful service all make this the highest ranking in my book. Please consider opening up a second location in the Washington, DC area!“

“Fantastic coffee spot with an amazing experience overall! I tried the White Tiramisu, and it honestly tasted heavenly — rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. My husband had the espresso, and he loved it as well; perfectly made and full of flavor.
The service was excellent — the staff were patient, friendly, and welcoming even during busy hours. There was a bit of a wait to place the order, but it was completely worth it. Everything from the taste to the atmosphere made the visit memorable. Definitely a must-try place for coffee and desserts!“

“I love the service I get from Lullabar. I had been trying to ween myself off of a toxic relationship with acrylic. This resulted in going on an over 18 month “get your nails healthy” journey. I have had my nails done with Sherlyn now four times. She is patient, professional and really good at what she does. The atmosphere is excellent. My second favorite thing to coming out with lovely hands is the cafe! If you prebook, you are awarded with a drink…the lavender latte is to die for.“

“Good breakfast and coffee“

“Best coffee in San Diego!“

“I work in the area and love walking over during breaks to get coffee, snacks, or their AMAZING paninis! The owner is incredibly sweet and is always happy to customize your drinks to your liking. She’s also always tinkering with new menu items, and I was lucky enough to stop by at the right time and try some experiments :) yum!“

“I have had several treats from this cafe and, without exception, they have all been superb! Obviously made from the finest ingredients and always fresh. The team leader, Stephanie, is such a delight and is so thoughtful and kind. Thanks for the delicious goodies!“

“The best coffee I’ve had in a long time!! I had an oat milk cinnamon latte and we tried some Mexican pastries! So delicious!!“

“We arrived at 9:30 and were seated in the patio right away. It was a beautiful morning perfect for eating outside. Plenty of shade so it was very comfortable. My quinoa Benedict was delicious, my wife enjoyed her avocado toast (superb). We love coming to Claire’s.“

“This is my favorite coffee spot in CA. Ruben is an incredible barista and is extremely knowledgeable about Coffee. His assortment of single origin coffee varietals is like going to a wine bar and having a tasting. He has an entire chart based on the origins of the coffee you are tasting and has direct connections to the Coffee and where it comes from. This is my go to coffee spot if I want to drink pure coffee. He will take you on a journey and give you more information than you could ever learn on your own. This is by far my favorite coffee spot in the world. Oh, and take your kids since there’s a Koi pond that you can feed next to it. If you have a home espresso machine, I highly recommend his espresso blend as you’ll pull the best shots you’ll ever make. Definitely worth a visit.“

“Nice location great workers nice drinks“

“Best Gelato I have ever had!“

“We have been looking for a place that served tasty Acai Bowls…Our favorite Acai bowl places either, closed down, burned down or changed the way they made their Acai bowls…We found Liquid Bean Café on the internet and decided to give it a try…Well, we both had the Acai bowls but I added an Egg Salad Sandwich pressed in a Panini press to our order…The Acai Bowls were fresh and totally delicious!!!…I really liked the Egg Salad Sandwich and loved the way it was pressed and toasted in the Panini press…We highly recommend Liquid Bean Café if you are ever in the Del Mar area…We will definitely be back again!!!…Five Stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Always awesome service and yummy drinks especially hot weather in Escondido. Way better than any boboa places. Worth the try“

“philtered soul is my favorite, hot or iced!“

“The food is so delicious and everything is so beautiful. You feel so fancy sipping her delicious mango tea. I hosted a birthday party for my mom and my family loved it. Great customer service! This was my second time there and we plan on going back again! Thank you!“

“Small parking lot but spacious inside. Convenient location with drive thru... can get busy during the peak times - plan accordingly. Super clean restroom. Ordered Carmel vanilla latte, regular sized.... too sugary for my taste, possible that the Barista was heavy handed with their syrup pours. 😅 will be back to try different drinks and food. Thank you for giving Poway another option other than the usual coffee place on that street.“

“I have been looking for a drive thru boba place for so long and I am so glad I found this place!!! My expectations are always low when trying new boba places but I was so pleasantly surprised with this little kiosk. Don’t pass it by without trying something!

I got a floral milk tea, a slush, a fruit tea, and a coffee and ALL of them were shockingly good!! I can tell they use fresh, real ingredients cuz it has that fragrant potency you don’t get from pre-mixes/powders, and you can even see the pieces like even for my milk tea there were remnants of osmantheus in it which I was happy to find cuz I love osmanthus. The purple rice they have as a topping was AMAZING I was not expecting it to be so yummy!! And the coffee is legit! I’m picky with my boba but even more picky with my coffee so this place is my new go-to!!

ANDDDD they have xiao long bao!! I have not tried their food but the idea of getting XLB with my delicious boba on the go is enough to make me a regular customer… can’t wait to try everything!!“

“I want to say yes and recommend them. But I can't because I have a subscription to their coffee but they sent me the wrong coffee. it's been about a week, I've call a few times, left two voice mail messages, I've emailed as well and I have not gotten any response at all. The coffee I bought and subscribed to is good, but I can't continue to do business with a company that won't respond to their customers to fix their mistakes.“

“Best local coffee! The lovely aroma of freshly roasted coffee is heavenly!“

“Thank you French Oven! Everyone at Construction Notice Services loved the pastries I brought for work today.They were literally gone in minutes! Everything was fresh and delicious as always.“

“Always great coffee and the empanadas are great 🔥🔥“

“Got to meet Christophe, such an amazing down to earth person. He was relaxing the 4th July holiday and watching soccer. We chatted and discussed everything other than patisserie 🤣.
He offered to make special coffee for me and my wife. I loved it.“

“I love this place! You can stop by and get everything always with all the attention of the employees and taste the best things 😋♥️“

“I recently had a fundraising event and Sunny Side was such a great choice for catering. After I sent an email, I got a call back and we walked through the order and right sized it. The guests really enjoyed an artichoke quiche, strawberry chicken salad and three types of mini cookies. Everyone raved about the food. It was all packaged up to be easy to serve. I would highly recommend working with Sunny Side on your next catering need!“

“Tom and Lily are always so kind🙏🏽❤️LEUCADIA DONUTS have the VERY BEST APPLE FRITTERS on the planet 🌎 😋. Tom almost always asks how our triplet sons are since they were born 22 years ago. Our family has been committed customers since 1993!!“
