All the drinks were amazing, we got a hazelnut oat latte and white mocha. Plant-based milks available and they use very cute glass cups. Was thinking of getting two lattes instead of one :) we’ll be back!

Maybe I just had a bad experience.Got an espresso, it was fine. It was the other parts that turned me off. I asked for drinking water. The older guy working said buy a bottle of water or take tap water. I asked for a cup of ice and he said they charge 50 cents for cups of ice.

Good desserts. The cotton candy burrito was surprisingly delicious. The place itself is pretty low frills, but the desserts are worth the visit.Parking: Not in a one of the crazy busy convoy lots

My friend wanted me to try the cotton candy burrito with fruity pebbles. We just got done eating on Convoy so she said the place was pretty close by.We walked in and the decor was very simple, bright and airy.I did notice the gorgeous cakes/desserts/ treats in the window display. I was too full to try any at that time, but I will be going back to try a few.I have always seen desserts that have this glossy smooth texture on top, I've always been curious of the taste.I did try my friend's cotton candy burrito, I'm generally not a fan of these type of uber sweet treats, but it actually was good. The texture is quite different and the fact it's a cold treat is a plus.Food: 4/5Service: 5/5Ambiance: 5/5

I don't understand why the owner is so rude lol. Their drinks are just honestly low tier although they are pretty. Some of their pastries are pretty decent but are extremely overpriced. Don't recommend this place.

I was looking for a variety of indulgent treats and this place hit the spot. The Carmel macaron is AMAZING! Also the little chocolate Carmel cake, to die for. Tiramisu was perfect. Pricey but the flavors and presentation live up to it.

Two words: chocolate affogato!Amazing desserts, but I can’t quit that affogato and I drive over from La Mesa at least once a week for my fix!

Was greeted right away when I walked in. Music was great, kinda like jazz soft music. Great place to study and do work! Parking limited during lunch hours, but I was still able to find a spot driving around once or twice.Got the chicken basil panini & lemon ginger iced tea. Will be back to work remote here (and there are plugs on the wall).

This establishment is in violation of several federal laws. James Lee takes his employees’ tips for himself, pays them under the table and doesn’t add them to a legitimate payroll, records audio (it is illegal to have surveillance cameras that record audio without the patrons and employees being aware), ad nauseaum. The kitchen also is below standard, and cleaning supplies are mostly absent, with what little there is to clean with being filthy. I support my friends, former employees, and wish them the best in pursuing legal action.Hello, James. The victims themselves have evidence that tips were not received even after several months of employment. You make the employees do all the work while you smoke and entertain yourself with videos out back, and still take the tips for yourself. You may not save the recordings, but your cameras DO pick up audio. You have listened in on several occasions when you weren’t physically inside the establishment. Abuse also has been documented. You also have received several warnings from inspection, and do the bare minimum to pass. You will not silence the poor young girls, you cannot hide who you are by reporting my comment. Even the customers are beginning to see how bitter and angry you truly are, seeing the Yelp reviews.

To be honest, over priced and over rated. We ordered a banana split mocha but you had to pay extra to have coffee or espresso in it. Why call it a mocha then?? Also - we asked for water and he gave us a baby styrofoam cup, and the water was WARM. Also he made it a big deal to ask for a refill... We ordered a cold brew - pretty good, but not for $5. I wouldn't go back. The ambiance isn't great, the drinks and food are ok. Seem like they've been sitting there for days.

When I went, there was no one else there. It was about 11am during the weekday. It didn't seem as frequented as I had seen on socials, but maybe that's due to the time I went. It was a bit smaller inside that I imagined and the strip where the building was located didn't seem busy even though the small lot was full (so parking MIGHT be tricky). The employee was in the back and it took a while for him to notice I had come in (there wasn't a bell or anything for me to get someone's attention..unless I just yelled out). I only went to try an Affogato and sat in the restaurant while I ate. I enjoyed my dessert/coffee alone while the employee went back into the back (not that I minded because it would've been weird to eat with him just watching).
