Coffee is awesome and the guys were super friendly. Breakfast bowl was on point!
The man in the front taking orders has the worse customer service. I cannot imagine working in the food service and having that attitude. Made my self and my family very uncomfortable hopefully he has a better day and decides to smile a little. 5/13/25 He was wearing a Titans beanie.
The food was really above expectations. Both the panini sandwich and the hotdog were excellent.
Josh and team are very friendly and the food is delicious and fast when it's not busy
Grab a coffee and walk the grounds. The Mexicano Mocha Nitro was good.
Best value since we arrived in San Diego for a week long visit.
Surprisingly good burger at a very reasonable price. My wife had the basic burger and I had the bacon cheeseburger they were both excellent!
Delicious food and good service
Delicious food and good warm service 🔥
adorable little coffee shop hidden at the top of Museum entrance. they have a variety of hot and cold coffees, including other Beverages and Light bites. great little spot if you're looking for something to munch on or sip on while walking around by the park.
The service was quick but the line was long. I had one latte but truly one of the worst coffees I had in my life. It was very crowded with no place to sit.

It is a pit stop for your day visiting the museums. Just for the sake of convenience. Nothing more than that.
Flavorless latte

Want overpriced food made by a bunch of rude employees?. Want to be treated like you don't matter? Ask them a question. Want clarification on their awful ticket number system? Too bad, they don't know either.

Food was fairly good. But the staff is not friendly AT ALL. Barely look at you in the staff. To the young Latina girl who took my order today at 2:30…change your job if you don’t like it. We don’t need to know by your lame attitude, like we should be thankful you are talking to us. Not patient in answering ingredients in menu items (not listed). And to the older dude working there, barely looked up from looking at women’s chests while taking their order. I have 3 daughters and just wanted to leave. Don’t bother asking for a receipt with items listed, they can’t provide that, so cross your fingers they took the right order and didn’t charge you extra, that was also a wild guess as to why my total was different from what I expected, but I couldn’t compare it to anything since they cant give itemized receipts.

a little pricey but what you’d expect for a café in a museum. but here I ate arguably one of the best burgers i’ve ever had, in a museum café.
