    Passed by this coffee house on my way to an appointment and it caught my eye that I had to go in, especially after the folks at my appointment raved about the space. It's an absolutely adorable floral boutique and cafe that feels like a mini getaway. (I got my order to go, but seems like such a perfect place to say in and savor your pastries/food and drink). The owner helped me out and she was so sweet and welcoming. There is a very generous menu with things I think many people could enjoy. I ordered the chocolate croissant (my guilty pleasure) and a oat milk caramel flat white. The croissant was divine, so much as that when I got home with it, my cat pounced (and she's very picky about her pastries haha). The flat white tasted more like a latte, with a too much milk and not enough espresso, so I think I'd get it again with an extra shot or just a note to reduce the milk. All in all though, a really great spot for a girls' brunch or coffee date!

    We decided to try out Adore Coffee House because it was within walking range from our hotel. The coffee shop looks new with less than 100 reviews on Yelp and most reviews are positive. First thing you notice when you step in to the shop is that they share the space with a floral company. Half the space is for the coffee shop and the other half is occupied by the floral shop. At around 10:30 am on a Monday there's around 4 people sitting around waiting for their order. The downside of this small coffee shop is that one person is in charge of everything. There was only 1 gentleman working behind the counter. He was the barista, cook and the cashier. Not ideal if you're in a rush. We ordered the fig & cheese toast, flat white and a iced match. The total came out to around $30 with tips. Service was a bit slow since it's one guy doing everything. It took around 15 minutes or so for our order. The flat white was perfect. The toast was a bit too sweet for my palette and the matcha had a little bit too much syrup. The shop seems like a great place to bring your laptop to work or study. It doesn't seem like they get a heavy amount of foot traffic which is probably why there's only 1 barista. But when there is a small rush there might be a little delay in service.

    I got the blue moon signature drink which consists of espresso, spirulina, regular milk, and vanilla cold foam. I got oat milk to replace the standard regular milk although the vanilla cold foam does still have dairy in it. The drink is definitely aesthetically pleasing with the blue spirulina swirls on the bottom. But the taste is more mild than how it looks- I couldn't taste too much of the vanilla cold foam and tasted hints of the spirulina and espresso. If you are looking for more mild-tasting latte with no crazy flavors, this is your drink. They have 2 high top tables with a couple of chairs and one bigger table off to the side to sit at as well as some outside seating. I was able to find parking pretty easily just across the street at metered parking. It is also a shared space with a florist shop so there are pretty flower bouquets to look at/shop for.

    DIDN'T ADORE THE PLACE (3 stars) My go to coffee shop was closed Christmas Eve. Another favorite coffee shop had relocated their shops in a further location from Cortez Hill - saw this place on the way home and said why not. Let me tell you why... not. :: ORDER :: BANANA LATTE ($7) - this item was on their Speciality Drink and I chose this particular one because I love banana flavor anything. Decaf, hot, whole milk. It was served in a generic with no branding of the cafe. First sip was strong of espresso flavor. It took a couple sips to begin to taste the banana flavor but the overall sip lacked sweetness and bitter - reminded me of a non ripe banana. After adding a half of sweetener, it was ok but still reminisce of bitter in the aftertaste. This is what I got for $7 (plus a dollar tip). No latte should be $7 and this drink has no justifiable reason to be that expensive to taste "just ok". :: SERVICE/AMBIANCE :: Service was average, barista was very nice. Ambiance was a little weird. It's in the corner in downtown and a very busy corner close to the exit of the 5 south bound. Inside is a lot smaller as the space is shared with a floral shop. Very limited tables and seating but not a comfy place to sit and work/study, didn't give off that vibe. As much as I wanted to adore the place, I didn't have an excitement reason to. Until the next review...

    Food: toast was delicious! Drink: friend and I got the Luna taro latte with coconut milk and it was pretty good something unique but I love taro so it was good! Service: lady was so kind did not meet owner but she was there. Ambiance: went on a cloudy day kinda dull inside. Definitely small but good study spot

    The lady was register was so nice and helpful in deciding what drink to get. It was good, not too sweet but i wish the cold foam was a little thicker. Overall really good

    Whiskey Latte (non-alc) + Tiramisu in a can

    Adore Coffeehouse in downtown San Diego is an absolute gem. My boss and I decided to stop by after hearing great things, and it completely lived up to the hype--actually, it exceeded it. This is hands-down the best coffee I've had in the U.S. It's smooth, flavorful, and doesn't have that burnt or stale taste you find at the big chains. You can immediately tell they take their coffee seriously here. My boss got the Sakura coffee and the banana cream/bread dessert in a can (yes, in a can--super unique and delicious). I went with the shaken espresso and the tiramisu dessert in a can, both of which were incredible. One of the employees--super friendly guy with blue hair--recommended I also try the Whiskey coffee (non-alcoholic), and wow... I would come back just for that. The depth of flavor was unreal. The space itself is beautifully curated, with a shared layout that includes a flower shop and pottery area. It's got a chill, creative vibe that makes it a great spot for a mid-day break or casual meeting. Major shoutout to the blue-haired barista--super knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what he does. Can't wait to come back for another one of his recommendations.

    Their strawberry croissant was so good! I thought it was going to be sweet but it wasn't everything came together perfectly. The bread was soft and delicious! And the coffee was so good I went the following day for round 2 ! Service was amazing. Staff was very friendly especially when it was my first time there. And inside there is a flower boutique Incase you want to get someone flowers on the way home. Highly recommend

    Can't get enough of their salmon toast and bagels! The flavor balance is perfect, the coffee is always spot on, and the woman who owns the place is the nicest!

    I had the Blue Spirulina Coffee. I stuck to what I saw on IG. It was very good! I definitely would recommend. The barista was polite and nice. The coffee was tasty and the shop itself was very cute. I loved the decorative bike on top of the refrigerator flowers. Parking is a little hard to find; I recommend going during the week as soon as it opens. It wasn't busy and there were two spots facing west and right in-front of the coffee shop.

    Breakfast croissant, prosciutto toast, sakura matcha, banana matcha

    My boyfriend and I were looking to pick up some coffee and a quick breakfast and stumbled upon this place. Appropriately named, Adore Coffee House is an adorable little coffee spot with specialty lattes and pastries + they also share the space with a floral shop! We tried the banana matcha and Sakura matcha lattes as well as the breakfast croissant and prosciutto toast. Lattes were both yummy and the food was surprisingly filling. Great if you're in downtown and need a quick pick-me-up!

    A little pricey for poke but the bowl was so good and the coffee was great too. A great spot to visit before the zoo. It was open early which was good. Service was great, and the space was clean!

This time I tried the BB Code which is a Cold Brew with Banana Milk + Brown Sugar. It's $6.75. This was quite tasty and like nothing I tried before. It was quite busy, that just means how popular they are. The cashier and the staff were nice. This coffee shop has indoor and outdoor seating.

Many of the drinks are themed around computer programming with names like "C++" and "Debugger". The whimsical nature of the naming is rather appealing and cute. The atmosphere here is casual and relaxed which is perfect for those needing a chill place to study or kick back. Service was quick and efficient. The staff members also were friendly and positive in mood. I ordered their batch brew coffee which was illustrated as using Guatemala beans that provided "chocolate, nutty, caramel, and citrusy" notes. I didn't quite taste the first three aforementioned notes, but the citrusy, sour note was there along with bitter notes. I've been here before and I much prefer their lattes such as the Troubleshooter and Debugger. Those are exceptionally enjoyable drinks to me. I would rate the batch brew a 3/5 but I'd rate the two aforementioned lattes around a 4.5/5. Overall, it's best to enjoy the specialty drinks here and inundate yourself with sweet caffeine to focus on studying for your upcoming test or completing your project that's about to be due.
