Definitely loved the coffee I ordered! I got TroubleShooter (very yummy & strong enough for me.) I had just came from the hospital and had taken a sedative to relax me, let me tell you I drank this drink and I was wired lol. (Not in a bad way, but definitely had energy.) Then my husband ordered his coffee and baklava croissant ?. Let me tell you that croissant is enough for me to go back! I mean the drinks are great ,but that croissant, that’s whole another level right there. The establishment itself can be crowded (student heavy) but I usually just order and dip anyways . I definitely added this place to my coffee spots. Definitely check it out!Also please excuse my pictures , I got carried away enjoying my items I forgot to take the initial picture LOL!

I have been wanted to try the coffee here. But when I finally did, the coffee did not meet my expectation to be honest. It was over roasted so it tasted bitter and burnt. The matcha latte was nicer! I also tried the chocolate mash mallow scone which tastes okay. The vibe was good so I gave this place a 4 star.

Coffee is so so. The food and breakfast items are really weird and not good at all.

Great fun cold brew flavors and seasonal items. Lots of seats but limited outlets if you want to work.

I always stick to iced vanilla lattes when I go to coffee places because I don't want to risk trying a new drink and being disappointed. I decided to try something new at Forum, the Troubleshooter, and it did NOT disappoint!It's a salted caramel latte that wasn't overly sweet but still had a hint of salted caramel flavor. It was definitely nice trying something new but I would probably come back to try their vanilla latte. The Troubleshooter was good but I think the aftertaste just wasn't for me. The place is pretty big and (busy!) for a coffee shop. The tables inside and outside were filled. I would definitely come again

Great coffee and matcha drinks. BB Code with banana milk is among my favorites. Staff are always super friendly. Plus they have a great deal on coffee beans.
I have been going here since they opened. I think the espresso is the best around and I love the selection of pastries. The menu is a nice perk to this wonderful coffee shop.

Super popular coffee shop here in San Diego! I swung by on a work trip one Friday morning having seen the reviews beforehand. The line was long, and the whole process took 20-25 minutes before getting my order.There are so many unique lattes and drinks served here! The names are very appealing to those who work in tech or have some knowledge of computer sciences. They have a variety of pastries, including a unique baklava croissant! I didn't get it that morning, but instead ordered the almond croissant - I got mine warmed up and it was incredibly flakey with a smooth almond paste center. I also ordered the Binary Code latte, which is their version of a horchata latte. I must have be spoiled by the horchata lattes at a LA coffee chain called Tierra Mia, because the horchata felt light in flavor in this latte. The latte was still good, but I was hoping the horchata would be more present in the latte. However this means checking out other lattes in the future since this place is pretty great overall - just make sure you have some time to wait!

I was recommended to try out this place for their great matcha drinks! We got the Apache latte with oatmilk, the C++, and the captcha drink. The matcha and coffee is amazing here! All the drinks were delicious. There's a good amount of seating inside and it seems like a popular work/study spot. I really enjoyed their drinks and would definitely come back again when I'm in San Diego! :)

I ordered a hot reboot (honey cinnamon latte) with almond milk half sweet. They have a unique drink menu and also have various pastries and waffles. There is a decent amount of seating and wifi. It can get pretty busy here, so on some days I would be prepared to wait a bit.

The finest selection of cold brews I've found in San Diego. Really great ambiance and friendly staff.
Cold brew ftw!
