50 Best Cafes near Spring Valley

“Inconspicuously small deli spot in Jamul. When you pass by it may not look like much from the outside, but TRUST it's a hidden gem. Love this place - it's my favorite deli. It's family run by Manoli and his wife Rosio. Their son Milton also helps them out. They've been in business for almost 30 years. One bite of their pastrami sandwich will explain it all. They are so sweet and just the nicest and welcoming family. I love their consistency, every time you walk in the door you're greeted with a warm smile and food is always made with love. They don't make it til you order it and taste homemade. Give it a try and you'll find why they've lasted through time. From the sandwiches, their salads to their smoothies. You can never go wrong and the portions have not been affected by inflation. Same portion size.“

“I haven't been here since the first week they opened a couple of years ago. The place is very clean. The food is good quality. I had a bagel with smoked salmon, the avocado was a nice touch. I thought it strange they waited to make coffee after I ordered it. At least it was fresh. And I suppose if you call it "Americano" you can charge $4 for a plain cup of coffee.The young man working here had to be shown how to do almost everything by the woman who knew what she was doing. I hope it was his first day. Someone needs to teach him that it's rude to wear earbuds while talking with customers. They had a couple of flavor creamers for the coffee but no stir sticks. When I asked for one, I got a plastic spoon, which is a bit of a waste.“

“Always great service and delicious food prepared fresh. Family atmosphere and worth the wait.“

“Whether you are popping in for a glass of wine before shopping at Sepulveda next door or having dinner of their wonderful specials that change daily (check Instagram), you will enjoy your experience at Juan Jasper. Lots of lively conversations between the staff and patrons (while still being attentive), varied and upbeat music playing just loud enough in the background, and a direct view of the kitchen makes for a wonderful atmosphere. A small act of consideration and respect by a customer is rewarded by the generous proprietor. This is what service and dining should be. You can see why folks happily wait to get a seat at this local gem. Cannot recommend enough: great for lunch and dinner.“

“I’m a local customer for over 25 years. I love this place every thing is well prepare with love. The owners are always happy to see the customers! One of my favorite is the Mexican Mocha, the breakfast sandwich. To say the least everything on the menu is excellent. I’ve rather support this small family coffee shop, then Starbucks. Thank you so much for caring for you’re customers and the great food. Many Blessings!“

“Located on Adams Avenue, this coffee shop has patio seating. You stand in a line and order your drinks and food. They have some pastries, sandwiches, and toast options along with a variety of cold brew, hot coffee, and tea. They have a handicap accessible bathroom.“

“Great white chocolate mocha and cheese danish. Good customer service. Relaxed atmosphere and good music playing.“

“Always a chill time and lovely drinks/snacks!“

“Went there for the first time with my boyfriend and we both really love this place. Their coffee is rich and flavorful and their sandwiches are delicious and filling. The prices are decent and fair for the sizes of their foods and drinks. The employees are also very sweet and get along very well with every customer. I overall I highly recommended this place and is now my to go to coffee shop:))“

“Delicious brunch! We enjoyed the Somali Malawian which was absolutely delightful—cheesy, hearty, and spiced. We also had the duck and sweet potato hash that was topped with a super fresh salad. If you enjoy a savory dense bread, the Afghan sweet bread was a great end to our meal, as the citrus butter was to die for. Will definitely be going back!“

“Customer service and knowledge/quality of their product is stellar! Oh, yeah...and the coffee is amazing, too! My first time experiencing horchata and I strongly recommend! If I lived in San Diego, this would be a regular!“

“Loved Saturday, and Sunday breakfast at Gillespie Field. A great staff of folks, and a must visit if your only on vacation.“

“Love this coffee shop. Feel like right now coffee shops focus a lot on aesthetics vs quality of coffee. This place does both. It’s a lovely coffee shop and their coffee is delicious. Sage, palosanto , thyme, mint on my coffee? Yes please! Highly recommend ✨“

“Best corned beef hash ever!!“

“We finished eating at Buona Forchetta and wanted to continue with drinks. Kindred was packed so we came to Harland. So glad we did. We got seated immediately, great drink options and great prices!It was too cold to sit outside but great if you have fur babies.“

“Wow, such great food and awesome service! Had the lobster roll and it was quality lobster and overflowing with actual meat. Everything was delicious.“

“The most amazing pudding EVER. Sooo good and creamy not too sweet. P E R F E C T“

“4.5 stars We arrived on a Thursday morning and found that there was very little free parking. Paid parking is plentiful and we had to walk a bit to find free parking. The inside of this place is just great. Plenty of art and plants make this place really feel cozy and great place to hang out. We ordered a scone with peanut butter ube butter, a black sesame latte, and a pandan latte. The lattes took a while to come out, but the scone came out fast. The scone itself was solid and the addition of the PB-Ube butter was nice...it really brought creaminess to the party. Once the lattes came we gave them a sip. The black sesame latte was fine. I was unsure about the addition of activated charcoal, but I didn't really taste it. I would have wanted to taste more black sesame. The pandan latte was very good. It had just the right amount of sweetness and was very satisfying. I definitely want to come back here, as it seems like a cool night time hang out spot. On an unrelated note: the bathroom smelled GREAT! (not sarcastic)“

“I can't believe that I have not left a review for Holsem!! This is a long overdue 5-stars. I have frequented here for the past 2 years and it has never disappointed me. I always get the Matcha Mint Latte hot. Sometimes there's seasonal ones with roses or strawberry. It's a great spot if you can find good seats with charging ports. Otherwise it's pretty cramped or uncomfortable.“

“As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the friendly staff and seated right away. A great start to an even better meal! My fiancèe and I ordered the Honeymoon latte (vanilla latte sweetened with honey) and a Dirty Chai to start, both were super delicious, beautiful and handcrafted to perfection. For our meals my fiancèe ordered the Beefee Benedict which is served with Kufta (think Mediterranean "meatloaf" with robust herbs and spices) and a house blend cheese on top of English muffins and a made from scratch Hollandaise sauce. And I had ordered the Shakshuka "Special" which is on the regular menu, that's just how they named this dish and that comes with grilled onions and peppers, Kufta, two sunny side eggs in a rich and perfectly acidic tomato puree and houseblend cheese with a house made Bread dome on top of the whole dish. Delicious is an understatement, the food, the drinks the atmosphere, I mean everything fit so prefect. They have a little taste of different cultures and offer healthy alternatives and everything is made in house and I could not say anything bad about this place. 10 out of 10 recommend and we will definitely be coming back to try other amazing dishes.“

“Fairly new cafe to the North Park area! This place isn't crowded like the other nearby cafes on the weekend and is perfect for knocking out some work.Things you should know:I. PARKINGStreet parking is the move. There's also a nearby parking garage at the intersection of 29th St and N Park Way ~ close walking distance.II. SERVICETopped off the experience here for me. The cafe barista I spoke with was extremely helpful and personable.III. QUALITYThe PINKY signature latte was delicious. Subtle hints of rose and natural sweetness added by the honey ~ highly recommend.IV. CAPACITYFair amount of available seating on the weekend. This cafe hasn't gotten a lot of clout yet because of how new it is, keeping it hidden for the locals.! No lines!“

“If you don't get there early you'll miss out this place is Awesome! prices are reasonable in comparison to others and the food is to die for ! For example the chicken fried steak you can cut it with a fork it's that tender and delicious is an understatement! Imagine that! All I can say is try it out ,I guarantee it will be your new Favorite!Kid-friendliness: Calm atmosphere!“

“Cozy little Cafe. Very clean. Friendly staff. Great coffee drinks. Delicious pastries. Love this place!❤“

“The service was very nice. People were friendly. And the food was pleasing to the eye and delicious on top of that!!!“

“I was craving some yummy coffee and decided to try this place out. I got a large black salted caramel latte and the hubby got their new strawberry chai tea latte. Both were delicious and flavorful. The girl that took our order was very sweet and even made some suggestions for next time. The inside was full so there was no seating available. They also have some pastries available to go along with their hot drinks.“

“I love the Cali style wrap, it’s my go to and big enough to have leftovers or split with someone. This place is a little pricey and a little slow which is why I take off one star. The cashier is warm and friendly and she gave me a drink on the house for the long wait which I really appreciated. I hope this spot stays as there’s nothing else like it near north park.“

“The food here was so great like I always remember this place was highly recommend to have the biggest and the best burritos specializing in California burritos you can't find any place else that can duplicate the authentic taste and preparation of variety of food and beverages the tortillas taste homemade maíz and the combo plates were very big portions and authentic traditional Mexican cuisine and served with a lot of love and care and everyone was so friendly and helpful the place was very clean and well taken care of the upkeep was very good for my standard quick fast and delicious food takes very kinda a payment except checks and communication was very bilingual and the service was outstanding“

“great staff. great food. so far I've had a few of their different plates, and all have been good“

“Seven Seas is amazing. I am happy they are in Aliso Viejo! They make you feel at home when you visit and the coffee is wonderful. They will even create a coffee drink for you. Awesome staff, great coffee, you have to visit Seven Seas!“

“I love La Mesa Bistro team working is very nice, friendly and efficient. It’s clean and you can eat indoor or outside The food is all very good and ready quickly! My favorites açaí be wil and grilled Cheese on sourdough with artichokes and avocado. It’s fabulous- sorry I can’t remember the benefits of it. ?“

“Todo riquisimo muy amables y atentos“

“Cozy and friendly best coffee ☕️“

“Swami's has the perfect local vibe with great food and great service! We recommend them to visitors and locals who don't know yet. It is a great La Mesa dining option!“

“Nicest friendly staff Great old style breakfast at great prices A real old school cafe A++++“

“One of my go-to coffee shops that I visit monthly to get freshly roasted beans. They have a long list of coffee beans, along with roasting dates and a little backstory on the production of the coffee beans itself. They even sell 5lb bottles of coffee beans. Their prices are reasonable compared to other roasters in SD.Parking: They have only a handful of parking spots inside but there is a good amount of street parking.“

“They make everything fresh and to order! I have a weird egg allergy so requested a breakfast burrito without egg and with additional veggies it came out hot and delicious! My husband loved the açaí bowl. My only complaint is they don't serve decaf espresso/coffee!!“

“I love Modrn Medicin! One of the owners Molly is always so helpful, sweet, and kind. The atmosphere here is so welcoming and you just feel comfy and at home the moment you want in to the moment you leave. I love going to yoga and then coming here and coworking, having a tea or cacao, and having girlfriend dates here! I also have the Mystic ceremonial cacao and the Magic adaptogen blend at home that I drink every week and it’s my favorite! There’s honestly nothing like it in San Diego!! ? Thank you team! Everything is so thought out and carefully curated! You’re all amazing! Highly recommend!!!“

“The look and feel of this place is cozy and easygoing. They have some smooth jazz playing, which is refreshing.There was a great selection of drinks. The pastries look really good, and the coffee is also fresh and taken care of. What really got me was the food!I got the eggs Benedict and oh my God I have never in my whole life ever had a ham steak that tasted this incredible! I didn't even recognise the ham at first because I was expecting an entirely different flavor and texture like every other ham steak I've ever had. These guys do it justice! The rest of the eggs Benedict was just as carefully created.“

“Cute shop and interesting choices! I'd come back but because there was only one person working the cash register and making the boba teas, it took a long time just to get one drink. The person at the counter was very nice and helpful. I just felt bad for him because there were 20 other people in the tea spot trying to order or wait for their teas and people kept coming in to order, which delayed the drinks coming out even more. The cashier/barista was a bit overwhelmed. I'd probably go to a tea house that staffs properly next time. The orange jasmine green tea drink was good otherwise!“

“Good food, great service, nice peeps, great mission. So affordable. Where else can you get a tasty lunch for two under $20?!? I had a veggie sandwich combo and my friend had Thai chicken with rice. Both great. Cheerful space too. Go here! I'll be back!“

“Cute little cafe. I love all the decor. Lots of stuff from the 50's-70's. Lunch pails, old collectors soda bottles from big sports event. Lots of sports memorabilia. Lots to looks at. I like the vibe but the music was an odd choice. It was like, friday night slow jams. Keith Sweat type music. It was just funny to me. The server was very nice. I ordered the classic Benedict. It was okay, the sauce was a little sweet. The hash browns were really good though. My husband ordered the Reuben. It was tasty. The fries were ridiculously good. Honestly, the best fries I've had in a while. Definitely try some of you stop by.“

“Here almost every Friday during lunch and every time it has a very relaxed atmosphere, always greeted and served in a professional and polite manner. I always order the green tea so I can only speak for that quality and preference because I think Tap Ex tea lacks strength and flavor but that is just my opinion. The owner Rick is a great God fearing family man and that is a plus for me also.“

“I've been here several times to do some remote work and I absolutely love it. I always order a chai latte and a margarita pizza. Chai is a always a hit and the freshly made pizza is amazing! The crust in the thin and allows the flavor to shine. The pizza makers are always so nice and fun to talk to as well. Service is super quick. It can be pretty loud from the street so I would t recommend doing phone calls here but it definitely a good work ambiance.“

“The food and service is magnificent. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“El mejor restaurante de comida casera ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Me encanto el lugar que es muy familiar♥️“

“So there are two downsides- this place is hard to find and they don't serve a full food menu (presumably because park social is 2 blocks away). However, they are dog friendly, the coffee was good and everything was reasonably priced. The decor was as adorable and it was very relaxing. The barista wasn't super friendly and didnt seem to be a fan of dogs from the way he was looking at mine.“

“The BEST coffee on this street!! The staff is so friendly, the coffee actually tastes like coffee and isn't too sweet and the iced teas are so refreshing. They have vegan pastries and as a non-vegan I promise they taste so good. Plus it's a great spot to study or bring your laptop if you wfh.“
