    Mocha latte
    Christina H.

    Sabrina made me the most perfect decaf mocha latte! It was sooooo good!! And the almond croissant was yummy and fresh. So happy there is a great coffee place close by

    Alright... Achilles is definitely one of new favorite coffee roasters in SD. I visited the Carmel Valley location (although they are several locations across San Diego) on a Sunday morning around 8:30am, and there was already a line + people dining in. The menu and variety of goods/drinks offered is what I love most. There are so many drink variations but remaining true to coffee purism with earthy, natural modifications. I ordered the El Cortez (Cold brew with Brown sugar, mint, cardamom, and silk cream) and Lox bagel (can't remember the exact name). My boyfriend ordered the Three Sisters Matcha drink (ceremonial grade matcha tea, lemonade, and simple syrup) and an egg scramble dish with sourdough toast. Everything was 10/10!!!

    Vibe & Interior The space is vibrant with distinct orange accents and follows a seamless, fast-casual counter-order model. There is plenty of seating available, and the staff is incredibly perky, welcoming, and efficient. The Standouts Their cold brew concoctions are absolute must-tries. We loved both the East Village and the WindNSea, which were incredibly smooth and expertly crafted. Value & Logistics: At $13 for two drinks, the pricing is right around the current average for high-quality specialty coffee. Parking is completely stress-free thanks to a large, dedicated lot right in front of the building. Pro Tip They have an extensive brunch menu that goes way beyond standard pastries. Plan to come hungry so you can pair your coffee with a great bite to eat.

    pumpkin spice latte
    Hue C.

    I tried the pumpkin spice latte, but unfortunately, the flavor was pretty underwhelming. I could barely taste or smell the coffee, and honestly, even S2 Coffee's pumpkin latte tastes better. On top of that, the barista didn't seem to know how to make coffee art on the foam, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this café, especially for their pumpkin spice latte or bagel!

    The smoothie

    Amazing place!! We ordered a smoothie for our toddler and he accidentally threw it down. We were totally worried and started trying to clean it up ourselves. The staff immediately jumped in to help and even gave him a new one on the house. Really kind service, we'll definitely be back.

    Great food friendly service. Come here everytime we are in Solano for a soccer tournament- excellent breakfast choices as well

    Vivian P.

    Excellent go-to spot for brunch. So many to choose from... it will take a while to read the board Coffee has always been good!

    Bagel
    Elizabeth M.

    Came here to catch up with friends from out of town. The place was pretty busy when we arrived, but the service was good. It has a relaxing vibe, and I love their orange color theme, from the cups all the way to the logo. The food and drinks were a lot better than the last time I was here.

    Everything bagel with cream cheese

    PICK ME UPPER (4 stats) Breakfast and coffee. - FOOD/DRINK: good - PRICE: fair - SERVICE: ok - AMBIANCE: typical coffee shop in a suburb plaza Nice to see Achilles head north! Located in the heart of Del Mar in their town center plaza. It's tucked towards the back but had ample parking around it. It does get packed inside! You been WARNED, check the cleanliness of the utensils. The one given to me that appeared wash had DRIED CRUSTY EGG YOLK from another customer (see butter knife picture). Gag. DECAF CARAMEL LATTE - always good! I absolutely love taking my latte in a ceramic cup. It always feel like a "real" latte this way. EVERYTHING BAGEL WITH CREAM CHEESE - their bagels here are always good. Has that nice fluff, chew, and density that I look for in a bagel. I liked the included two slices of cucumber which as a refreshment afterwards because who really wants strong everything bagel breath?! Will be back as usual. Until the next review...

    Joe C.

    Solid single origin cold brew. Good strong flavor and balance. The menu had some good options, but I went with something basic. If I'm in the area again, I will have to try some of the specialty drinks.

    Lovely place, offering coffees and teas and some food items. Asked for honey cinnamon latte, not too sweet, and they made it perfect and beautiful! Thanks guys!

    Macchiato
    Callie N.

    Not sure why I haven't come here sooner because this place is great! The staff is super friendly and the coffee is great. It's bright inside, and there's plenty of parking. I usually come in the morning, and there's usually plenty of table for people to do work. In fact, I usually always see people working and there are a few outlets. The staff is always friendly and provides helpful suggestions.

    Carmel Valley Sandwich (already ate half of it, couldn't wait lol), sparkling OJ, Maui Onion Chips
    Jared P.

    Victor and Maria absolutely crushed it with their Turkey, Bacon, Havarti grilled sandwich -- it's straight-up perfection on a plate! Every sandwich here is always on point, seriously next-level delicious. Natalie's warm, radiant smile at the counter is the cherry on top -- as refreshing as their sparkling water and fresh-squeezed orange juice! The space is so fun, bright, and inviting, with that huge open partition wall letting in the beautiful Carmel Valley breeze. It's the perfect spot whether you're popping in for a quick 10-minute vibe or settling in for a leisurely 50-minute stay. Pure joy from start to finish! Highly recommend Achilles Coffee -- you'll leave smiling just as big as Natalie.

    Good menu - with real NY bagels delivered

It was one of the best cinnamon rolls I have ever had. It was also cooked how I prefer my cinnamon rolls, which is with a very soft and chewy middle.

The strawberry buttermilk was the doughnut we were looking forward to the most and it also delivered. While still not as good as the cinnamon roll, it still really really good. We also got a latte, not pictured. It was good and coffee isn't an after thought at this place. It accompanied the doughnuts really well. While we were there the place was definitely busy but I wouldn't say packed. Although very busy, we got assistance quickly.

    **Update:** I realized I hadn't updated my review in a few years!…read more I've been coming to this Philz location for about five years now, and it's still my favorite. Unfortunately, San Diego still doesn't have a Philz, so La Jolla and Del Mar are the closest options. Between the two, I prefer this location because it's a little more spacious. Inside, they have a large communal table, a handful of smaller tables, and a few comfortable lounge chairs. There are also plenty of outdoor tables if you prefer to sit outside. It definitely gets busy, especially in the mornings, so finding an indoor seat isn't always easy. Even so, it's one of my favorite places to work remotely when I can grab a spot. As for the coffee, it's still my favorite. My go-to order is a half Philtered Soul and half Jacob's Wonder with cream on the side. I love that every cup is brewed fresh to order. There really isn't another coffee shop quite like Philz. The freshly ground beans and pour-over style brewing make such a difference, and it's one of the main reasons I keep coming back. If you're looking for a place to work, catch up with a friend, or simply enjoy a great cup of freshly brewed coffee, this location continues to be one of my favorites.

It was a nice day, so we opted for one of the comfy sofas outside. There were tables and chairs, as well as lounge chairs, sofas, and low tables. For active pets, there's a wooden deck play area. For this visit, I ordered the Açaí bowl and a cappuccino. I loved the presentation of my açaí bowl and the assortment of fresh fruits (strawberries, blueberries, and bananas). It also had dried dates, honeycomb, hemp seeds, pistachios, coconut flakes, toasted oats, and cacao nibs. My pup loved the blueberries! The cappuccino was good, but was rather small. My friend ordered the Akuri Wrap, side of sourdough toast, and Desi Chai. She thought the wrap could've used a pinch of salt. The Desi chai was nicely flavored, but was a bit grainy. The sourdough was notably one of the best we've had, and we wondered where these were made. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and look forward to coming back. Service was friendly
