Fantastic little place! Espresso was smooth and not bitter at all!! Additional plus, the entire staff was so nice, very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely be back for that shaken espresso!!

Love this place! They have the best cold brew in University Heights/ Northpark ! My boyfriend and I were visiting San Diego and decided to check this place out. We loved it so much that we came every day.

Top notch Northpark coffee spot. Barristas are passionate about the brew and each drink from drip coffee to pour over is made with care. Well lit indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly to your dog. Good place to work or relax. Metered street parking.

It's our first time, service was quick. Staff were rude. Food safety is of little concern. Why? No hair nets but long ponytails swinging. No gloves. Long nails, with no glove pour coffee beans. We didn't hear our order. I asked is that our order. She gave the duh are you stupid look. Peach lemonade was ok. Banana bread was good. Latte was good. These staff need to be trained on customer service applies to all guest,Food safety and professionalism. ?

Incredible coffee quality - I got the lavender thyme latte with oat milk and it was so smooth, not soapy lavender, truly delicious! You can tell the coffee (compa roaster’s) was the type that’s smooth and yummy and not acidic. The thyme flavor was perfection (you will taste the thyme more than the lavender but it was a yummy herb taste not too nasal-y/over powering) … such a yummy drink!
I wish I lived closer to try the vanilla latte given another review said it was the creamiest vanilla latte they’d had in SD
I walked in a hot mess needing my caffeine boost in this heat and J was so kind and patient with my questions given I was indecisive and wanted to try so many of the flavors as I was falling asleep haha
Can’t recommend this place enough with how great the latte and service was and grateful I stumbled across it when my friends were going to the ice cream place next door.

My favorite coffee shop in San Diego. Their latte’s are the bomb!!!!! The Lavender Thyme latte is so different yet so good. I tried the Eggxactly Toast and it was so savory and delicious! I always love to take people here for meetings or just a place to get together.

This is a little gem! Coffee is good, prices are average and the service was excellent. Ordered an iced Honey Cinnimon Latte Iced and a hot Salted Maple Latte. Both were delicious and would order again.
For all of those other reviews complaining about latte art. The art doesn’t make the latte and ours was pretty on point.

We love their roasts! A great experience every time we come here. Thank you Hawthorn Coffee
Yummy items! They serve Compa coffee. A San Diego roaster. I recently got some of their syrup to take home. I'd say it was a decent deal! We are always on the hunt for 3rd wave coffee in San Diego. Got the jalapeño bre toast and also enjoyed it. Latte art was okay, foam was good but surely would have been better distribution in a for-here cup.

Used to come here a lot but hadn’t been back in a while. Just came back this morning and ordered the best coast bagel which I used to be super fond of. However today when I bit into it there was a small hair smashed into the lox. Also part of the tomato in it was molding. Probably won’t get it again. Still like the coffee though

Love this place! Their coffee is top notch and the food I have had was very good. Everyone's friendly too and it's cute inside. Not tons of seating if you're trying to work during populqr hours, so plan accordingly!
