the drinks are good (they have both oat and almond milk now for $0.75 extra), and i enjoyed the vibe and reusable dishware options for dine-in, but no vegan pastry options at the moment Updated from previous review on 2025-12-03

Worst matcha I have tried in my life, sweet and artificial flavoring. Also, the green tea was the cheapest they could find. I thought it would be a good quality loose tea not the ones they sold at the 99 cents store. Very disappointing. And they’re pricey on top of everything. Such a nice and full of nature place that you would think they would care more about what they put in their drinks. Sad they don’t. Never again.

The most beautiful and aesthetic coffee shop I’ve ever had the pleasure of going to! Lauren was an absolute sweetheart after I made a silly mistake of spilling my whole coffee. Staff was very friendly and the coffee was excellent. I had the la Tarraza done hot and my husband had a cold brew, both were really yummy!

Love this beautiful, friendly outdoor cafe with great coffee and pastries. Especially love the eco-friendly option of choosing a cool mug for your coffee (instead of toxic throwaway cups).

I love this little hidden gem. Plants surround you and potted plants can be purchased. I even bought some coffee beans that support local animal help. The selection of coffees are basic but made with care.
I recommend going as a local and tourist.

Great atmosphere with all the plants and greenery. Jalapeno cheese galette was meh, but the cappuccino and almond croissant were nice.

The area is cozy and cute and the service is great, but the two drinks me and a friend got were subpar. The matcha tasted like water without a hint of the special syrup advertised and her coffee was really bitter. Plus, they were both around $7, so decently pricey.

Such a cute coffee shop with plenty of seating, and a great atmosphere! They also sold merch and plants, and a cute little boutique thrift shop was right next to it.

This is my favorite place to have coffee in San Diego during the week. Great cold brew, nice baristas, and a relaxing place to hang out. Bonus because you can walk to all Old Town has to offer as well.

You have to look for the entrance a bit. But it’s a great find. The outdoor seating is perfect. Cool breeze, indie music, sun isnt in your face. If I were a local here, Id be studying all day.

Coffee is fantastic too. Cold brew is strong and potent. If you usually like sweet coffee though (viet coffee), you might need a LOT of sugar
