The crossaint breakfast sandwich is fiiiiire! But the real star of the show was the Rasberry Matcha Cream top and the Vanilla Bean Latte. They hand make their own radberry cold foam and they roast their own coffee. So good had to get a bag to roast it at home

This is a very trendy urban cafe with good coffee and avocado toast. The seating is limited, but most people take their orders to go.

Best healthy breakfast option in the area. I liked the acai bowl and the avocado toasts. Went there on three separate mornings during my recent stay in SD.

I was really disappointed with the food quality and coffee here, especially given the high prices. I honestly don’t understand how this place has a 4.7 rating. I paid $14 for a “breakfast croissant,” and it was obvious they use Costco croissants—it looked flat and sad. I wish I had taken a photo to show how unappetizing it was. I also ordered a Salted Maple Cold Brew (paid $7.50), but it was almost impossible to taste any salted maple flavor. I usually only leave reviews when a place is either truly exceptional or really disappointing, and this one unfortunately falls into the latter category. I’m not giving it one star only because the sandwich and coffee were at least edible, but overall, this spot feels like a tourist trap and is not worth recommending. Find another place to go!

This review is way overdue. Excellent coffee - key - and small plates and sandwiches made and served by people who care. Been a regular here for years. Their coffee, food and friendly service is always reliable and never ceases to give me a lift! For example, I enjoy their salads, adding marinaded chicken with a Topo Cico and cortado on the side. Highly recommended!

This is my go to coffee place when I’m working. The banana mocha and charcoal mocha are highly recommended. I also tried the kale green smoothie and it is very very good. I tried the Viennese coffee hoping it would be as rich as the online descriptions and I would say I much preferred the banana mocha, unfortunately it’s not available anymore. If you happen to go in when it’s available again, I highly recommend it. All in all the coffee drinks and smoothies all look amazing. I’ve never tried the food because my breaks at work are too short but it looks amazing! Call in ahead of time with your order if you can. If not be prepared to wait a little. It’s worth it.

The avocado toast was amazing! The price was not bad, but I felt the value wasn’t the best (as I wanted more), but not bad priced for San Diego. I wish they had more drink options (soda), but I get why that wouldn’t be their focus.

I ordered a veggie panini and got a toasted sandwich with a single slice of tomato and single slice of cheese.
I also ordered a breakfast smoothie but It was more like a juice. The drink was blended with a lot of ice to give it the full appliance but it was noticeably water down. I could barely taste the banana, added protein, almond milk, and oats (I think that was all of the ingredients- im going off memory)
I was already at work when I went to eat my food so didnt have time to go back.
Maybe I'll try to go back again giving them the benefit of the doubt that this was not my veggie panini.
