I couldn't finish it. The matcha latte was better.
This was one of the worst café experiences I’ve ever had. I ordered a turmeric latte, and the barista never mentioned that it didn’t come with an espresso shot. When I asked after getting my drink, instead of remaking it like every normal café does, he just poured in a shot, charged me an extra $2, and then told me to stir it myself. Absolutely rude, unprofessional, and unacceptable service. Terrible attitude — I will never come back.

Delicious! Only thing is I wish there matcha was ceremonial grade or they added more color was minty green and not bright green
Heard great things about this place and finally stopped by — it didn’t disappoint! There’s plenty of indoor seating, which is perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. Street parking is a bit limited, so plan ahead if you're driving.
We ordered the iced caramel and vanilla lattes — both were smooth and refreshing. Also tried the Velvet Knot and chocolate mousse pastries. Not only were they beautifully presented, but they tasted just as amazing as they looked. A lovely spot for coffee and dessert!

Latte was great! The $6.50 scone was not! And it was small for that price!

Small coffee cafe, but with many nooks and seating areas throughout - all the way thru the outside to rear gate ( alley) there are seats along the narrow path. With maneuvering of chairs we fit 5 people in a nook, but there's not seating for larger groups.
The coffee was delicious. The menu is typical for a coffee bar. The pastries and desserts are adorable! I had a toast topped with bananas and a nut butter... Didn't get to try the desserts, but want to next time.
Garnet has little parking, but I parked in the strip mall across the street after shopping at CVS.

A reliable coffee spot - their coffee doesn’t give me the jitters which I admire. The staff has always been kind and it’s typically a pretty popular spot for fellow wfh civilians enjoy their workload in a local space.

By far my favorite coffee shop in pacific beach! The ambience is just as wonderful as their coffee/food. The breakfast crepe and gluten free donuts are to die for. 10/10 recommend. They also have a beautiful location in La Jolla!

Great coffee spot a little tight on seating which is expected in PB. I do not like the fact that they charge $1 for oat milk for an 8 ounce coffee and the same price for a 16oz iced latte. For $5.50 and a 8oz coffee you should not be charging for oat milk. That’s price gouging at its finest.
