Influx Cafe

This has been my go to place for coffee for years. Easy to get to with efficient service. The coffee is decent but not stellar, and sometimes if I get a latte it’s not hot enough. Great baked goods.

Their prices have skyrocketed since the first of the year. What a shame. Roughly $6.75 for an iced latte with soy milk not including tip of course for the non-smiling/ barely friendly employees. They brew cafe moto which is my favorite, but sadly, I won't be returning. I can't stomach the cost. It used to be $4. 50 or 4.75 I can't remember and no charge for soy milk.

Super kind people!

I love this place!!!
The coffee girls are so sweet and always smiling (Toni is my prefer?

Pretty nice place, but its niceness ruins by the non-smiling employees. They look like they don't even try to hide that they hate working here. Some people try very hard to get them to smile, but only a few succeed. They don't have a problem laughing with each other, though.

Maybe my 5th time in here and my experience is the same every time.

Ah-mazing turkey breast sandwiches! ?Turkey Nr 1 on focaccia is my fav, sooo good. Everything is extremely fresh, extremely clean and you can taste the freshness and cleanliness lol. Sandwiches are affordable too.Great coffee and super friendly staff, great vibes altogether. I see plenty of folks working from here, so that’s another confirmation that this place is legit.Plenty of seating indoor and outdoor, parking may have to be done on side streets.

Don’t get the Gluten Free “BOWL” - it’s Not a Bowl it’s a plate that has eggs separated from the rice separated from the spinach & not much

Delicious tofu sandwiches/bagels are a standout, offering a high-protein vegan option that's not always easy to find at cafes. The coffee is of excellent quality, and the abundance of outdoor seating makes it a perfect spot to enjoy with your dog.

I’m writing this review as I sit in Influx for probably the 58th time. I have frequented this coffee shop every time i’m in San Diego over the past three years, and let me tell you, they are consistently good. Their roasts are strong and affordable. The service is always pleasant and friendly (they always welcome you in when you walk through the door, for example). The atmosphere is super relaxing and plenty of space to sit, including outside. I recommend the orange cushion chairs though, they’re a lot more comfy. Did I mention affordable? I can’t remember the last time I had a large 16oz for $4, especially in North Park. The only downside is having to use the restroom outside, but that’s not a huge deal and it’s always clean. I love you Influx!!!!!
