The spicy muffin as a breakfast sandwich is not too spicy has just the right amount of spice- the eggs taste fresh any breakfast sandwich with some cheese and bacon is an added bonus for a delicious English muffin! The environment is super cute and friendly. It's a nice cool zone because they do not skimp on the AC. There's a TV with games on for ones viewing pleasure and music playing lightly in the background. System all around here. Investing for customers and ample seating. They have a great selection of the variety of laborers to choose from coffees, smoothies, and they have matcha. This is going to be one of my new favorite spots when I wanna treat myself and I can't wait to try more or anything that they recommend from there!

As soon as I walked in the doors, it was decorated so cute. Very colorful, vibrant, and designed to impress. I also noticed they take pride in keeping their little coffee shop clean. I noticed the menu is extensive and impressive. So, if you are needing a new coffee shop to try, hang out, or simply to replace Starbucks, here they are! The coffee was high quality, smooth, and loaded with flavor. I wanted to give a special shout out to Sandi and Daniel because they told me it was a family-run business. They were friendly, professional, and hospitable to me. I loved the personal connection I felt which made me feel right at home. It is located in Spring Valley on Campo Road tucked away. They are a hidden gem that must be experienced. I need to come back with my appetite because they have it all here. Thank you Sandi and Daniel for giving the small-town friendly coffee experience that is rare to experience in a big city.

I'll definitely be back and highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

I was on my way to church and needed an early cup and was surprised how many shops were not open at 7 AM. I'm sure I could have found a Starbucks but that's always reserved for a last resort. Big props to this spot being open early on a Sunday morning, so I could make it to church prayed up and fully caffeinated. The barista opened right on time (7 AM) I loved how friendly she was for it being that early, and she got me my drink within 3-4 minutes. I am not a big coffee drive-thru guy, but if I lived in the area, especially knowing it is veteran owned, I might become one. Thanks guys and best of luck!

I unfortunately chose the wrong line and got stuck behind this cop who was ordering but also decided to get out and help capture a lost dog which made 3 other cars cut in line ahead of me... the workers were very sweet and noticed I had been waiting and came out right away to help and make sure I got my order taken! The la mesa latte was super yummy and while I'm not the biggest fan of cold foam on lattes this one was pleasantly good! I had also gotten a bagel with cream cheese which I don't believe was toasted and would say that was the only downside but the delicious amount of cream cheese definitely helped.

My new favorite coffee spot! I'm currently in my pandan obsession era and this place does it RIGHT…read more I've already been back more times than I can count. So far, I've tried the pandan, the brown sugar, and the sesame latte all iced w/ oat milk and they've all been a hit. The pandan is easily my fave, but if you're trying the brown sugar and don't love super sweet drinks I'd recommend adding an extra shot to balance it out. The drinks are consistently good and you can tell they really care about the quality. It's one of those spots you keep thinking about and end up going back to without even planning it. Customer service was solid and there's plenty of seating, which makes it a nice place to hang out or get some work done. Parking was also easy, which is always a win. Highly recommend checking this place out especially if you're a pandan lover like me!

This location is conveniently on my way, but after multiple bad experiences, I will go to a different location or skip my need for a drink completely going forward. If I am not dealing with a rude or slow service, I am dealing with filthy restrooms and sitting area. Last night I put in a mobile order while I was down the street. I set the order for a drive-through pickup. I knew that my order probably would not be ready, having just put in my order a few minutes ago. I came into the drive-through line and let the person know that I had placed a mobile order. They confirmed they had my order and were working on it. There were several cars in front of me and I waited until it was my turn to get to the pick-up window. We were not greeted by anyone. Instead, we waited a few minutes and when the worker had our drinks made, he opened the window and, without saying hello or anything polite, he handed me my drinks and said "Next time you need to come inside and pick up your order because you are messing up our hours" Not sure what that means or how it is different from me ordering at the speaker when I arrive. If anything, sending the mobile order gave them a head start in making our drinks. The mobile order also ensured that my order was placed correctly. I don't have a complicated order, but when I order in person they often get it wrong. Bottom line, skip this location. There are at least 2 locations within 2 miles from this one.

Staff that I met was extremely friendly (Grayson, Jules, and Dom), as well as the owner of the bakery Tanya. This bakery has been operating for about three years and there was a good crowd on a Monday afternoon. All the pastries are vegan and I tried the vanilla concha (pro tip get it warmed up) with their house made maple butter and the carrot cake. Both were amazing, I've never had a vegan concha and don't think I'll be going back to regular ones! They also have breakfast sandwiches that many people ordered that looks like it's on a thick piece of focaccia. The reviews speak for itself! Great pastries and coffee, friendly staff, and clean store what more could you want?! I'm glad I made this discovery and can't wait to come back, highly recommend you check out this place!
