Their hours online and posted on their window show that they are open everyday. As someone visiting San Diego I was excited to try this place only to find them closed with no sign or anything…
They posted after 12:30 that they were closed on social media ?
Located in a convenient location close to Santa Fe railway station. This place caught my eye, as I like colorful coffee drinks. I got the iced rose latte, the coffee and taste itself was not out of world, it was decent. The ambience and service was great.

Very cute girls outting place and even a nice cafe to take your gf to in downtown. Even though the gimmick is pink, the cinnamon roll and coffee we got were actually good! Great photo ops downstairs and upstairs. Even some board games upstairs. My girlfriend loved it.
Only downside is parking, but that’s everywhere in downtown. Highly recommend

For some reason I didn't look at reviews before I booked an afternoon tea session at this place, lmao, so I didn't expect it to be so pink ? Not a bad thing, I was just surprised!
The staff were very sweet and didn't have a problem when my friend and I arrived late to our tea session because of traffic (which I was worried about), and they let us take our tea bags home too when we couldn't drink as much tea as they provide (you get 2 flavors of tea of your choice from their tea menu, and I drank one whole pot of the first tea so I didn't have room in my bladder for the second flavor ? Luckily they have a restroom onsite ?). We got the blueberry merlot herbal tea to-go and the ones we actually drank onsite were the ginger pear white tea and the green peach mango tea. I really liked the green peach mango; it smelled HEAVENLY and had a really nice fruity flavor profile as well. The ginger pear tea, on the other hand, was underwhelming bc I expected the ginger to have a stronger flavor profile, like Chinese ginger tea, but it was barely detectable, so the tea very much tasted like just water.
I also found the food underwhelming since you don't get very many sandwiches, though that might just be because I have a robust appetite. The smoked salmon croissant was really good, but I was still hungry afterward. But I think the desserts are supposed to be the highlight of the tea session. They were super cute and delicious! My friend and I weren't too sure what some of them were, but they all tasted good and weren't too sweet, which fits my dessert preference. You also get plain biscuits, but those were too dry imo (my friend couldn't even finish hers), though the raspberry jam and lemon curd are obsession-inducing (I would literally have bought jars of those to take home if they sold them ?), as well as a glass of sparkling lemonade, but honestly the lemonade felt kinda redundant when you already have so much tea to drink! For $50+, I don't think I would book afternoon tea here again, but I did have a nice time.
The only other thing that put me off was the music—I don't know, I associate afternoon tea with a certain atmosphere and was expecting to sip tea and relax, so it was off-putting to me that they were basically playing early 2000s club music lmao. There's nothing weirder than sipping tea while listening to Nelly Furtado's Promiscuous ? Decidedly NOT my preference for tea room vibe lmao

We love miracle portion. Such a great coffee shop, and then the desserts and other items just move it so over the top. We come by at least once a week, and plan to come by even more often. Best coffee in the Columbia district!

The cutest, pinkest coffee shop in Little Italy hands down. I had a matcha with oat milk a company and with a warmed pastry.
This place is great meet up with friends or even a celebration. They have plenty of seating down stairs and up!
The vibe is unmatched. Very chic and very very pink. Each drink is made with TLC and presentation. And the quality does not fall short either.
Parking may be a bit challenging. I think it's most ideal if you're already living in Little Italy or touring around that area.
I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area.

The food was terrible and tasteless. I noticed that the boss was mobbing the employees at the cafe shop and I think anyone who looks carefully can see this. In addition to the rudeness of the employees, the woman who was the boss threatened us by asking for more money from the bill. This is the last place I will go to work or eat in this world. My advice to you is never pass by this cafe shop.

The employees and the boss were very rude. Also, what the woman who was the boss did to her employees was a real cruelty. If such a restaurant treats its employees so badly, imagine how it treats its customers. I definitely do not recommend it. A place that should never be visited.
