My new favorite coffee spot! My fav is the Mocha Frost and don't forget to grab a punch card! 10th drink is free! Any size!

Best acai bowls. Been getting them for years! Every time we have friends or family come to San Diego to visit we head here for bowls! They are a great price, too!

Love their açaí bowls which are very reasonably priced. Always consistent and fresh. Not a huge fan of their coffee, but still come here frequently for the bowls!

This is one of my favorite shops to pick up a coffee on the go & acai bowl after dog park I stop by there yesterday I was waiting for my order across the other side of the window. There was a homeless man and I offer to buy him a drink. The nice girl said that he always gets a free coffee ☕️ she was so gracious calling him by his name asking him if he wants his usual. I love this. I will support a coffee shop that helps the homeless. ❤️ and my 2 Frenchies got a little doggy treat ❤️❤️🦴🦴🐾🐾🐶🐶

Morning boost with a colorful acai bowl, protein bowl, and a veggie shake! So refreshing and healthy. Just a heads-up: it’s a drive-thru spot, and it can get pretty busy during breakfast or lunch. Would be great if they had an extra person to help with orders during peak times, it took a while for us, but the food was worth the wait.

LOVE the lean bean. I feel lucky to have this as a local coffee spot. Prices are good, they're very customizable, and the service is always so friendly. also not many drive through coffee spots locally, so that's a huge plus for my mornings.
They've really learned to pack a punch in that little shack, but they need a second location!

Love this place! Got coffee here over a decade ago when it was "Coffee Brake" and the new owner let me know she had bought from that family, and had been running it ever since. Family owned, great customer service, and top-notch Dirty Chai Lattes. Support small businesses, not the union busting corporation down the street ✊
