Place is big and has lots of tables where to sip uour coffee and/or work. Service is super fast, at least for a Friday at 11am. They have your regular coffee options plus some interesting Signature Drinks. They have a Charcoal Latte which has an interesting combination, really good but on a thick side of coffee. We ordered a regular Latte and their signature coffee Promise Land (with half the sweetener). It was delicious and with perfect touch of cinammon. They do offer some pastries.

Service was ok - friendly-ish but also kind of seemed the workers were a little distracted with each other lol. I stood there at the front counter for maybe 5 minutes before someone even acknowledged me. They were busy yes but not crazy busy, and most places the barista will at least smile and say "I'll be right with you". Seating was plentiful - probably the best thing about the place. It was fairly clean but there was some things that could've used a wipe down lol also would've been nice if there were outlets for computer chargers. It's owned by a church which is nice but there is definitely room for improvement as a business!

Great place for a boba and snack. I've been going here for years- since 2020. This place is one of…read morethe most consistent boba shops in SD. They always serve the same quantity and softness of boba. Their service is always amazing too. They greet you as you enter and leave, and are friendly. Because it's quite cramped inside the shop, I don't expect to stay for long. However, the boba is my main priority, so I don't mind for the seating.

They also waited while I looked at their giant menu to figure out what I want. And not giant in a bad way, giant in a many options way. I had questions and the woman who took my order was so kind to me and patient when I had questions. I also put my phone number and got a discount so definitely sign up for their rewards program! There was plenty of seating inside and outside so we grabbed a booth and made myself comfortable until my order was ready. The inside was decorated very cute with lights. We ordered a Thai and Taro blended milk tea, a Tiger Tea with boba, an order of Cheese Curds and the Brick Toast with Honey Butter. The Thai and Taro blended milk tea was so good! It had such a balanced flavor! The Tiger tea with Boba was very earthy and subtle flavor but still so good! The Cheese Curds were freshly battered with a golden fry on it that really showed how clean their oil is! And the Brick Toast with Honey Butter was such a soft bouncy bread that would pair beautifully with a morning coffee. Over all the entire menu is something I want to keep exploring and I definitely recommend SD Boba Tea!

We went for a late breakfast and they didn't disappoint. My husband ordered a breakfast sandwich and I ordered soup and a sandwich. Both were great and inexpensive.

Lets talk about the vibes first...amazing decor and vibes, decor and walls and atmosphere is very cool and unique I truly love it so much. The staff is very nice, offering suggestions on drinks with big smiles and welcoming energy. Now the drinks and food: the drink I got last time was an iced mocha (no picture but I remember it was very good). This time I went with my mom and we both got the "Moon" drink.. a Chai/Matcha which was such a good drink, I want like a 40oz of it to take with me home for the week. I also ordered the pesto turkey sandwhich to share and I can not express how good this was. Perfectly crispy, juicy and fresh. Took the first bite and literally gasped because not only was the bread toasted to perfection but the veggies and turkey were so flavorful. The veggies and pesto and turkey were also layered in a way that made every bite delectable and that to me is art. Loved it, want more of it and I WILL be back to try more drinks and sandwhiches.

Eeeeek! Omg I love this place and you will too after reading my review…read more I've recently found this place from a studio I go to nearby. It's third ave I mean if you are from San Diego you know it's either neighborhood parking or the meters. Not a big deal though. I am greeted by Karely and her big smile, one of the baristas. It is tiny location but long, they have two gender neutral bathrooms at the end. A few tables to sit down inside and out. A cute bench with the view of third ave traffic. Interior decor is super cute I loved, one of my favs was this board they have which is a basically you pay a coffee forward and you put the sticky there for the next person to get their drink. I totally don't work there so I would just reconfirm what can be redeemed. Drink: I get an iced dirty chai WITH banana cold foam. 10/10 must try. They also offer matcha for you matcha lovers. Grind house has found a new customer and yes, I've already brought so many friends here. My only suggestion would be to maybe have a phone charging station, that's all! :)

Now let's talk pricing... the cakes are a little on the pricey side for the size. They're pretty, but just be prepared. The pistachio matcha though? That's the star. So so good. Not overly sweet which I LOVE and the foam cream on top was smooth and dreamy. Also major points for having coconut milk and soy milk options. We love an inclusive queen. We grabbed donuts too and caught the buy two get one deal which felt like a win. Light, fluffy, filled just right. No complaints there. Customer service was... mid. The girls were deep in convo about their bad dates and whether they should text back or not. Lowkey entertaining but also like... can I order real quick lol. Overall I'd come back in a heartbeat, especially for the matcha. That drink alone has me sold.

What caught my eye were the perfectly decorated cream donuts sitting safely in the pastry display case. The different flavors were: pistachio (say no more), ube cloud, mango, strawberry, chocolate and vanilla! My husband let me choose which one to get since he's a gentlemen. So we ended up getting the ube one. It wasn't super ube forward taste but a faint ube taste was present. The donut dough was nice and soft. I think mostly the presentation was enticing but the flavor was just ok. The milky cornet pie that my husband chose was better than the ube donut IMO. In fact, I wish we bought 4 of those things!!! The cream was delicious (reminds me of a super smooth and not too sweet custard) and the crust around it was so yummy. It was gone in three shared bites. Matcha was nothing mind-blowing but I do think they use a good quality matcha for their matcha latte drinks. We got the iced matcha latte and it was a refreshing afternoon drink to go along with the cornet pie. We also bought a bag of sliced bread and it was very good quality and taste. Prices are meh, kind of on the same price range one would expect for a barkery similar to 85°C. Overall, not a bad place to go to for a sweet tooth's needs and afternoon pick-me-up beverage. I would love to try out their cake flavors next time, namely the Earl Grey cake, if we are ever in the same area again!

What makes it even more interesting is that it's inside a market-style location, so it's more of a grab-and-go setup than a sit-down cafe.

Overall, great flavors, especially the signature coffees, and a convenient hidden-style spot in National City worth stopping by.

It's tucked into a cute neighborhood near Logan Heights. We came around 9 a.m., and street parking was easy to find. There was already a line when we arrived, but it moved pretty quickly. The baristas were friendly and welcoming, and I thought the prices were really reasonable for San Diego. I ordered the black sesame matcha, and my husband got the Piloncillo. The matcha was creamy, rich, and not overly sweet, which I really appreciated. One thing to know if you're ordering matcha or a latte--they only offer oat milk, not almond milk. My husband loved his coffee and said the espresso was smooth, flavorful, and let the coffee shine without being overcomplicated. The shop itself is really cool too. There's an art installation inside, an outdoor patio with additional seating, and I noticed quite a few people picking up bags of espresso beans while we were there. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and would definitely come back.

It's cold brew with condensed milk cold foam. Unfortunately this one was a bit of a miss for me. The cold brew while smooth was less coffee forward than I prefer. The condensed milk cold foam was pretty watery and not condensed milk enough. It just tasted like a sweetened cream. I'll still with the other foam tops! Also a little bit of a pet peeve when they don't fill a drink all the way up, especially when I didn't adjust ice level.
