We were flying from Canada to SD to explore & found this cute coffee shop, OMG everything was so tasty, the intention & quality was in all the items we got, my favorite was the Keep X (black sesame drink) and the garlic bread was so different than anything I’ve tasted. Definitely a must try when in SD!

Unassuming coffee shop with a variety of standard and specialty drinks. They offer your choice of a variety of coffee beans, including natural process types. I had an Americano and a “Harvest Moon”: espresso with whole milk, pistachio, and sesame foam…amazing! Service is quick and friendly as well. A+

Amazing experience today at The Keep! We live in Huntington Beach and I have had this place pinned since you guys have opened! Finally made our way thru the area and made our stop! The ambiance is calm and good vibes, service was very friendly and attentive, and the drinks and garlic bun were out of this world! Definitely will be coming back when I’m in the area!

The Keep Coffee is almost the only coffee shop in San Diego that offers such a wide variety of beans. They have great medium roast options, so you never get bored with the coffee. And the music there is really good too.

I'm sharing this in hopes it helps someone before deciding to stop by. I wish I had checked yelp beforehand. I ordered coffee drink with light ice, but unfortunately that wasn't followed. On top of that the cup was only filled about 3/4 of the way, which made it feel like I didn't get what I paid for. I saw other folks also complaint on yelp about a similar situation. Let's be real I pay for coffee not ice!
The ambiance was also much louder than expected. There's a piano available, and while that can be a nice touch, it was disruptive to those having a conversation. For the price point I didn't feel it matched the value. Just something to keep in mind before spending your money.

I ordered the strawberry matcha and would rate it a 3/5. The strawberry pieces were a bit too chunky for me, and since they aren’t fully blended, the straw kept getting clogged, which made it difficult to drink. I later learned you can ask for less pulp, which definitely helps, but wider straws would make a big difference.
I did go back the same day and got another drink that they deconstructed for me, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, it didn’t include the cookie or the toppings on the whipped cream, so it didn’t feel like the full experience I had the first time, especially since those were my favorite part.
I reached out to the owner on Instagram, and although it took some time, she eventually responded and apologized. I appreciate her acknowledging my experience and making the effort to make things right.
After my conversation with the owner, I went back and got another strawberry matcha. It was better with less pulp. I also ordered the Keep-X drink for my son, and he absolutely loved it. That definitely made the experience better overall.
The drinks are on the expensive side, so getting the full experience matters, but I do appreciate the owner’s response and the quality of their drinks overall.

I’ve been here twice now, and the first time I went I loved the drink I got because it was so yummy. But, this time I got a different drink and it was 90% ice, so I finished the drink in three sips, and then I could see the amount of huge ice cubes in my very small and overly priced drink. $18 for two people with default small sized drinks, not worth the price. Also, not very friendly or welcoming employee but they seemed understaffed/overworked, especially since they were so busy making drinks that they didn’t realize they were out of straws and we had to ask. Overall, there’s just as good/better places out there with bigger portions that justify the price. Don’t think I’ll be back again.

This was a 16oz latte with light ice next to a 12oz iced coffee. Pitiful. What a waste of $6. I even asked her if there was a mistake made because I ordered the larger size.
Cold brew sucked (bitter taste due to old coffee grounds?) place looks run down and simplistic in design not modern or edgy or even clean. I had their keep late, also bitter taste even with whole milk and cream. Oh and parking is segregated and hard to find. I've seen a shop owner come in to inform someone they are parked in their space and threatened to tow.

you need to get the garlic cream cheese bun! the spooky Thai tea was really good too. they don't take cash which sucks and the seating could be way better but I'd for sure go back just to get the bun to go. parking is also horrible, you have to park on the street or you might get lucky with the singular parking spot they have

The matcha was so gritty I coughed after each sip which would be fine if they were friendly but like come on somethings gotta give

Absolutely love their matcha drinks, but this Lavie edition is by far my favorite. Love the creativity and thoroughness behind the drinks! 🥰 Parking is something to be mindful of and the wait, especially if it is busy!
