Really great drinks, really great breakfast sandos, really great workspace, really great hang out…read morespace. First visit today, and I'm impressed with the whole place! Breakfast sandos are simple and cheap - exactly as promised, and delicious. Drinks are as basic or fancy as you like, and also really reasonably priced. The music is loud if you're trying to make a work call, but just perfect if you're looking to power through emails with a little "Jenny from the Block" energy. I don't live anywhere nearby, but I'll absolutely make the trip to be back!

If you go here, you have to get the strawberry cheesecake!! it is the best cheesecake you'll ever…read moretaste, and devour in your life I bought all of it from the shop within a span of a month since I moved to this neighborhood. I got a slice of the strawberry cheesecake almost every single day, at some point they ran out from me buying it all and then I would get the regular cheesecake and have them add the strawberry with cookie crumble on top of it just to get the same taste of the strawberry cheese I always get. I'm telling you this is the best cheesecake you'll ever eat in your entire life. They need to be famous or get like a Michelin star just for this strawberry cheesecake. Whoever the owner is, you knew what you were doing with this cheesecake I'm looking forward to getting some more as soon as you make some more!! Thank you very very much for creating the perfect cheesecake to share with us. I hope you're able to make some more soon you can get all my money just for this cheesecake haha and the workers that work there are awesome as well, they are very kind and welcoming. Thank you!

It would usually take a half hour to get a simple drink order. Food that was previously wow turned into meh (I'm looking at you, shashuka). I don't blame the baristas. I don't think the business owners ever properly streamlined their ordering process / menu to get items out effectively. I hope we get something nice to replace this space.

I searched up best coffee in La Mesa, picked the first recommended place, and am happy I did so…read more I just moved to San Diego from San Francisco and found myself in La Mesa applying for jobs. I needed a quick coffee to end my day and after searching the best coffee in La Mesa, Red White and Badass Brew was the first to pop up. The owner was super nice-I didn't get his name-and he walked with me through the menu as I haven't had specialty coffee drinks like these before. I went with his recommendation of the whiskey latte (iced) and also decided to try the toasted tan lines (iced) When I tell you, my first sip transported me back to the 2013-2016 era of coffee culture when specialty drinks were first starting to get popular, I am being so serious. Both the whiskey latte and toasted tan lines were full of so much flavor. The toasted tan lines took me straight back to my trip to Kauai in 2013 and the whiskey latte was reminiscent of a latte I would get in middle school from a Brazilian small business. There was just something so nostalgic about these lattes that I had to immediately write a review. So many coffee shops lack the flavor of the 2010s before companies cut corners and scraped for our pennies, but not here Thanks for the coffee! (No pics because I inhaled them in like 5 mins on my drive home)

It's been a while since I've been back but decided to stop by with my husband this time. We also…read morerealized we could order ahead so we did that. Unfortunately there isn't an online order line so you end up waiting anyways and they made our drinks only after we arrived and told them we had the online order. That being said everyone working was really friendly and they were working hard as it was busy on Sunday around 8. I got the gone bananas half sweet and an extra shot. My partner got the horchata matcha with extra matcha. Even my drink at half sweet was too sweet for my taste but still enjoyable. Not a strong banana flavor though. More caramel forward. My partner loved his drink but did say it was more horchata than matcha.

It was warm, ooey gooey, rich, sweet, everything you want! The breakfast burrito was full of flavor & my husband who is not vegan, loved every single bite! The coffee was absolutely delicious! The overall space is so inviting & relaxing. I could've spent the whole morning reading or working in there.

The inside…read moreis able to seat around 14 people from the looks of it and there is additional shaded seating outside. 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!

Not as good as the cold brew. The service was really fast. I was in and out of there in like 2 minutes max. I didn't try the burritos or pastries, but the burritos smelled amazing. You can smell them as soon as you get out of your car. I might need to go back and give them a try. Overall, not bad for a quick coffee and there isn't much else in the area as it is.

The service is friendly. 2. I had a BLT and it was tasty. 3. It was relatively busy for a Saturday morning ( before 9am) yet there was plenty of seating available and the noise levels shifted a little from low to average. 4. My only real negative point comes from the coffee itself. I ordered a hot lavender bliss latte. It was good, I could definitely taste the honey with subtle hints of lavender. I just wish the coffee itself was a bit stronger as well as a more pronounced lavender flavor. I'll stop by again and give the coffee another chance and let you know if my rating changes. That being said I wouldn't pass on it if you are in the area.
