Nirvana Soul Coffee is a pretty nice little spot to grab a bite and coffee (even later in the evening). They have a solid amount of inside space to sit while you enjoy your food or drinks. They even have a top floor loft area with a skylight.Their lattes have a strong flavor and sweetness, which is just how I like it, but if you don’t like sweet drinks, you may not want to go for their fancy signature drinks.The only downside is that street parking in the area can be a real pain.

LOVE this cafe! I came for the 1st time this weekend and loved the decor, vibe, two story option seating, cute little yellow chair for reading and my drink was delicious. I forget the name but was chai with rose and cayenne etc and was the best tea drink Id had in a long time. Def will make this my new cafe when Im in San

Kind of pricey for so little. Got the large ube latte iced for $7.38. The large cup size looks like a regular at most places. They charge an extra $0.25 if you want less ice. I didn't really taste much ube. It's pretty sweet so I'd ask for less sweetness. The coffee itself is good it just doesn't taste like an ube latte. It kind of just tasted like a caramel macchiato which would be great if I ordered that. They have a decent amount of seating and a upstairs area. I recommend going to Lacaphe if you want a more flavorful ube coffee.

This place deserves all stars! Starting from the friendly staff to the nice ambience, and most importantly the ethics of this place! The humanitarian causes they support 100 stars for that! I’d definitely come back!

It's a fun and pleasant coffee shop that was pretty full on a late Friday morning with people enjoying their drinks or working/meeting. They also have some outdoor seating, which is nice. I got a croissant and their Honey Lavender Latte and it was perfectly not too sweet, with not-too-much, not-too-little lavender. I'm excited to try more of their drinks next time (they have a number of tea lattes and specialty coffee drinks in addition to the usuals). I'll nitpick just a little bit: they assumed that I'd want my croissant warmed (I didn't) and it ended up on the greasy side. Next time I'll specify in advance.

The lavender latte was perfect. Creamy and delicious. The atmosphere was very hip and vibey with all the different colors and paintings. The ham and cheese quiche that I had was pretty decent as well.
Yummy, cool, bold, wild. Nirvana Soul is not just a coffee shop; it's a vibrant community hub infused with soul and flavor. Where eclectic meets cozy; the decor is a rainbow of colors, patterns, and textures that invites you to settle in and stay awhile. The ambiance alone is worth the visit, but it's the unique flavors that truly set this place apart. From their very weird and unique mochi ube treats to their inventive banana-flavored drinks. This is a great spot for gathering friends or getting out of the rut of working from home. Thank you Nirvana Soul for always delivering an experience that nourishes both body and soul!

Love that this place has ample indoor seating! Lots of tea and coffee options. I got a hazelnut mocha oat milk latte and it was so good! Also got the churro waffle, which was delicious but pretty pricey for a waffle. Parking can be pretty tricky, and I ended up finding metered parking a couple blocks down. Love the vibe and ambiance of this place, and would stop by for a coffee when I'm in the area!

I went this morning for a drip coffee. I greeted the woman behind the counter with a pleasant hello. She coldly said "what do you want"? I gave my order and when she handed me my coffee I said thank you. She didn't respond, didn't look at me. She just turned and walked away. In general I like to support small business but not when I get treated like this. I'll go to Starbucks next time.

Came to visit for the first time and the entire vibe is perfect. Everyone laughing and enjoying their company, friendly and inviting. Definitely look forward to coming back in and enjoying this place, helps even more all the drinks we got tasted amazing. B's Tea, Ube Latte and hot chocolate for my son. They even made the hot chocolate not as hot for him.

First time here. Came on Presidents' Day 2-29/24 around 8am. The gentleman working the register wasn't the friendliest person. Heard this place was "welcoming" but I honestly didn't feel welcomed. Asked for ube in my cold brew, and while he was making it, I had to make a slight adjustment to adjust the sweetener to half the amount and said sorry and he just stared at me pissed. At the register before I ordered, I told him I was a first timer and all I got was a a very short "ok" and looked impatient waiting for me to order. As a barista myself for many years, when I get first timers I always act extra welcoming and excited as I love getting new customers then ask what coffee they're into. But maybe this place does it differently. Maybe they just want you to get in and get out. I didn't realize the Ube wasn't that sweet making the cold brew too strong to taste and I'm scared to go back in there and ask if he could do the full amount of sweetener instead. I hate that I have to throw away this coffee, especially paying over six dollars for it. I'm not one to leave yelp reviews often but because of my experience, I am literally sitting outside the coffee shop in my car writing this. So much hype about this place but such a disappointing first time for me.
