夭壽難喝！Went to this café today and it was honestly one of the most disappointing coffee experiences I’ve ever had. First, they misheard “oat milk” as “almond milk.” I ordered the seasonal special Gingerbread Man and literally saw them pour what looked like half a cup of water into my coffee — it was unbelievably watery and bad. We told them about it and they remade it, but the new one was just as terrible. I also ordered a Matcha Strawberry, and it was equally awful — super diluted and flavorless. Out of the three drinks we got, they messed up two, which is kind of impressive in itself. The only one they didn’t ruin was the iced Americano — and honestly, if they had managed to mess that up too, that would’ve been another level. Definitely not coming back.

Came in and asked if they had everything bagels, she said yes but the oven is off and can't toast it. I said fine. She makes my mocha & brings me my pastry. Then tells me she has no cream cheese & have a great day. I spent $6 on a cold bagel, doesn't seem right. I come here often and I'm used to them running out of things or the sub par coffee drinks because of proximity to my house but I'm over it. better coffee & better food & better service elsewhere at a more reasonable price.

This is a boutique coffee stop that delivers stellar quality coffee, et. al. Their chai latte is bar none, no syrups!! We highly recommend.

I really wanted to like this place — it looks quaint, boutique, and charming from the outside, but the experience was the exact opposite. The coffee tasted like a basic Starbucks brew at best: extremely hot, bland, no flavor, and no latte art. The barista seemed to prioritize speed over quality, letting the milk steam way too long, which resulted in a burnt, unpleasant drink. I couldn’t even finish mine and ended up throwing it away.
I also ordered a breakfast sandwich, but it tasted like something you could grab from any grocery store and have heated up. Nothing fresh, nothing special.
The patio looked cute at first glance, but even there the small details fell flat — fake plants, a general feeling of cheapness. The location doesn’t help either, right off the freeway and near the airport, with not much atmosphere around it.

A super fun, very cute, but dedicatedly good coffee shop, tucked away on the end of little italy. This is more of a coffee pick up spot than lounge. though they do have a small patio. Their curtado is on point, and probably one of the top three in San Diego. It is a great place on a early weekend morning for a cup of something decent. Haven't tried thier pastries yet, but am planning to return. Great service, fun little place that really delivers.

Just ok! Not particularly good coffee and grocery brand bagels/serve yourself cream cheese. Definitely wouldn’t go out of my way to return…

Great spot for coffee and pastries after a bike ride. All seating is outside, FYI.
I used to like recommending this place but recently staffing has changed and so has their quality and accuracy. Got an iced drink when requested a hot, but maybe I did say iced so whatever, I’ll still drink it. I came back another time and another wrong order. It’s been disorganized. I realize that this time they were busy so I put in my order and didn’t mind the wait, until my order was wrong and had to wait additional time. Definitely didn’t not say Americano unless someone else did and took my drink? But then that means they did them out of order since I was the last one for a while? Anyway not returning.
Update: also tasted super burnt. Had to add sugar and still couldn’t enjoy the drink. Very disappointed.

I love this little cute hole in the wall of a coffee shop. Every time I visit San Diego I have to grab a cup of coffee and breakfast sandwich. Enjoy! From AZ

Perfection. Had their In Bloom. Lovely flavor and not too sweet. Charming spot with nice baristas.
