Urban Sweet Cafe

The girl with the glasses (i think she might’ve been the manager) had terrible customer service. She was so rude and wouldn’t remake my drink. She was absolutely terrible!
I recommend you save your time and money and go elsewhere.

Great service, large portion sizes, and awesome ambiance to get work done

Amazing customer service and the WiFi is fast! My coffee was out quick and was made perfect! The barista Sky was very helpful when it came to my questions about sugar free and healthy options. He took the time to care for me and answer all my questions. I will be coming back soon!

Super cute little coffe spot, cozy and so many delicious little treats

Cappuccino was made from a really dark roast, in a traditional Italian style. It tasted very bitter. We were expecting a more modern variation. If you are looking for a third wave coffee, this place may not be for you. The muffin was good and they warmed it. I was surprised to see the place mainly for students making boomer espresso shots :) Please add some medium roast as an option.

I was trying to find a sensible meeting area for someone in Escondido, where I can meet them coming from Oceanside and I chose the Urban Sweet Café in San Marcos.

The Urban Sweet Café is a small coffee shop located in an urban development area of San Marcos.
The small shopping Plaza that surrounds it also has a few hidden gems.

This Café has a very distinctively cute interior that comes across as a more organic, down-to-earth and healthy ambiance, as opposed to modern / industrialized corporate appeal.

Although the interior is very cute, it is also very small & feels a little cramped when it gets crowded & boy, does this place get crowded during rush-hour times.

However, I do like that you have a choice of seating along high chairs inside, a small couch in the corner, or outside on high tables.

Please keep in mind that this is a café that you pay at the counter and then return to pick up your order.

Their menu is very straightforward and simple and primarily focuses on a variety of sandwiches and avocado toasts.

I liked the simplicity, because I know I can always customize my order to add variation to my flavors.
I also liked that they had a seasonal menu with a few other choice specials.

Because they were only 2 service workers, who appeared to be very young, our service was very friendly & attentive while we were present at the counter.

However, when it gets busy, these 2 servers are so busy that they cannot attend to any other tasks, such as wiping the tables down or cleaning up after others. I observed this & wiped down my own table before seating.

Overall, Urban Sweet Cafe is a nice place for a solid avocado toast & a decent coffee or a latte & is good for a cute date or small get together; avoid if group seating is required.
I'm glad that there's free Wi-Fi with a strong signal, because phone reception doesn't work in this area.
Also, keep in mind that this is a cashless café.

Cool little coffee spot close to my house 2025 our goal is to support more small businesses and stop the Big Box Stores. This little place is great!

Cozy place!

Worst almond croissant I ever had it was so stale! The coffee is decent

They already make the tacos without desire, burnt, they don't make an effort, the tortillas are delicious, their birria the same, the minimum expected

Wow! I love this place! The staff was so friendly and kind. They gave me recommendations and my coffee was made before I even left the register! I got an iced specialty drink and it was ✨sublime✨. It was the perfect blend of sweet and coffee where a lot of other places it’s either one or the other. I got the HOB sandwich on a croissant, and it was AMAZING! The sandwich was so warm, so tasty, and the perfect amount of food. It even came out on a beautiful wooden tray! The atmosphere is 10/10 and I would definitely come again. Thanks for such a great café experience! 💖

Parking: Close by to the coffee shop.

Kid-friendliness: There are games and cushioned seating! I had a stroller and baby and I didn’t feel in the way! It was awesome!

Cute little cafe in San Marcos. We had coffee and their bagel and lox which were satisfying! There’s a cute little French bulldog from the nail salon next door that moseys over to say hi, and the staff at this cafe are super sweet. Great place to meet a friend for coffee to catch up and grab a little bite to eat.

The first constructive criticism I have is that they NEED to get a separate section for pick up orders versus the line for people who are ordering in store right now. I came in around 9:50am and two people for UberEats or another pick-up service cut in front of me to ask for their pick up orders. I wasn't helped until 10:10 am, 20 minutes later.. I considered leaving and going to a different coffee shop.

My positive feedback is that they made my coffee very fast, and it was good.

I just feel their set up for lines isn't organized and I will try to avoid this coffee shop in the future to save myself time.
