This spot is SO COOL! I happened to be at petco and needed lunch and always am looking for the perfect matcha and ended up in the trifecta of perfection. The matcha with banana cold foam was SO YUM! The sandwich I got was a 10/10 I will dream about the olive salsa for a long time on the sandwich. The vibe and atmosphere was very fun. I will absolutely go back for a cocktail and hang out here more! Pls, go here.

The breakfast tacos were great. The tortilla was perfect for this application, the egg/protein ratio was on point, and the toppings were on point. The red and green salsas are must as they set it off. Very cool place and great atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back while I am in town.

It’s a big pricey for what you get in portions but the food was pretty good. We got vegetarian tacos and hash browns. Good service and cool atmosphere. Awesome sidewalk patio and engagement w the public realm. I ordered a dirty chai latte for my drink and it was only okay.

This place is simply stunning. Absolutely breathtaking. The interior will captivate you and pleasantly surprise you with its elegance and thoughtful details. The atmosphere feels both refined and inviting at the same time.
The menu isn’t very large, but every single dish we tried (and we ordered three) was incredibly delicious. The poached eggs and avocado toast were our absolute top choice - perfectly balanced, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. And the raspberry purée cocktail? Absolutely irresistible.
We are already counting the hours until tomorrow morning so we can come back for breakfast again.
The staff is friendly, attentive, and highly professional. We left beyond satisfied - truly impressed in every way.

Fun place, great coffee! The Goddess and I enjoy finding funky coffee shops, and The Invigatorium did not disappoint.
Let's start with the coffee. I had a simple coffee and my Goddess a lavender vanilla latte. We both thought our drinks were excellent and she felt hers was one of the best lattes she's had in a long time!
Now, the building...where do I start? A dragon, a pterodactyl, a gold disco ball. Need I go on? Everywhere you look there is something interesting to see. A fun and relaxing place at the same time.
By the way, this place also has a full bar so, morning coffee or happy hour, this is a fun place to spend some time!

I can’t believe I’ve lived in San Diego for so long and am only just discovering this gem, it came highly recommended by a friend. I stopped by for a latte, which was delicious, and the food menu looked so good I was very tempted to order more. I absolutely loved the bar area, it has an exotic feel with bench-style seating all around and plenty of space to sit. There are also regular tables for groups and a few outdoor tables. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the unexpected highlight for me was the heated toilet, hands down the best surprise of the visit.

This place is so fun for breakfast and the espresso and matcha latte my husband and I had were amazing. The breakfast sandwich I had was perfectly cooked and piping hot, with super melty cheese and extra egg to replace the sausage patty. My husband had the avocado toast with smoked salmon and he loved it. I wish I’d taken a picture it was so pretty. Tasted as good as it looked, too! Highly recommend this quirky and fun breakfast spot.
Such a chill and groovy spot. Indoor + outdoor seating - you choose. The staff is amazing, shout out Ryan he’s the best! Very personable, friendly and overall lovely atmosphere. Has been one of my favs in SD since moving here.

As everyone else has said, the decor is really neat and creative. It was a very interesting vibe in the morning daylight, it looks like it's meant for the night. Regardless, the food was actually pretty great! The hash browns are 3 sticks which are cooked to a perfect crisp and come with two really different but both delicious sauces. The Strawberry Toast was really interesting, a unique flavor profile with the goat cheese but I actually really enjoyed it!

Was excited to come here based on the reviews but honestly this place was no good. When ordering I asked for a ‘caramel macchiato’ and she looked at me and was like …. like starbucks ? we don’t do that our macchiato’s are like small. I was taken aback being talked to like I was dumb? I’m aware what a macchiato is, but anyway I went ahead and still ordered and she was like and oh we don’t have caramel. Could’ve started with that instead of taking to customers like they’re dumb. Frustrated just got a vanilla latte and lavender matcha it was okay not the best latte and matcha we’ve had. Only thing I’ll give them is the aesthetic and the food. Avocado toast was good.

Nice breakfast tacos and really interesting decor. There's limited indoor seating and the vibe is slightly pretentious but I would definitely make return visits.
