The Mental Bar- Coffee, Tea & Wellness

Such a hidden gem! There’s plenty of comfortable seating inside, making it an ideal spot for remote work or just relaxing with a good cup of coffee.
The staff is genuinely friendly and welcoming, which adds to the overall experience. I also really appreciate the no-frills menu—it’s simple, focused, and lets the quality speak for itself instead of trying to do too much. I ordered a cappuccino, and it was excellent-made with high-quality beans and crafted with care. The barista clearly knew what they were doing, hitting that perfect balance between espresso and milk for a smooth, rich flavor.
Overall, it’s the kind of spot that feels easy to come back to again and again.

Made a stop in this morning in desperate need of coffee and food. This is a gem of a place! The coffee is so good and I love that there is a wellness menu that give functional options. Got a bagel that was also sooooo good. The bread was soft and it was just such a good way to start the day off. The music was also incredibly lovely. It’s such a vibe.

I’m new to the neighborhood and stopped by for the first time. Stellar service and I’m so impressed with the flavor of the drip coffee. I loved the ambience as well. I do wish they’d had more options for beans to purchase, but it’s a Monday morning so I know they may be short from the busy weekend. I’m looking forward to going back and trying one of their specialty drinks!

I absolutely love The Mental Bar! Their matcha drinks are incredible—creamy, perfectly balanced, and always hit the spot. Cozy vibe, great staff, and a must-visit if you’re a matcha lover like me!

This is a spectacular coffee/eatery location. Although I reside in the south bay region of San Diego this have become my favorite location to frequent for a cup of coffee, meal, and mello vibes. The atmosphere is a sense of community, sharing, and enrichment. This location hosts many community activities which I find so encouraging and empowering. The staff is professional, friendly, and very helpful. The interior/exterior is Kempt. -For me It's a great opportunity to contribute to a small business and help to make this location thrive in order for them to continue their contributions to the community...

Ordered a vegan breakfast burrito, egg sandwich, iced Mexican mocha, and mimosa. Everything was delicious. Parking was rough but worth it.

Best coffee in the area, it is my go to place for specialty coffee. I literally go almost every weekend. The service is also great (:

Disappointed — charged extra for ice and honey without notice
Review:
I came to Mental Health Coffee Shop for a simple tea with ice and honey. When I paid the bill, I was shocked to see a $0.50 charge for ice and another $0.50 for two pumps of honey — and I was never told those would cost extra. I wish I’d known ahead of time, because I likely wouldn’t have chosen those add-ons. It left me feeling like I was being stuck with small surprise charges just for wanting a normal drink. If you decide to go there, be sure to double-check the cost of any “extras.”

I go to the Mental Bar weekly to join friends. Their BLT sandwich, green salad with turkey and turkey sandwich are my favorites. It's a small intimate shop where everyone is friendly. We love sitting outdoors in front or on the enclosed patio when weather permits. It's a family owned business.
