The beans have a rich, smooth, and aromatic character that pairs perfectly with their creative drinks. The Best Iced Coffee with sweetened condensed milk is a must-try, while the Chilly Churro cinnamon sugar latte, Sun Bum banana coconut latte, and Real Ube Latte offer unique Filipino-inspired flavors. Great coffee, authentic Filipino flavors, and a welcoming vibe. A perfect spot for anyone wanting to experience a true taste of the Philippines through coffee.

It's was $9 ish for a small latte and a scone The women working when I went in were lovely. I'd highly rec and will be back.

Better than Starbucks, fight me!…read more Love this little Mission Valley coffee shop! It's tucked in a business park, super close to work, and easy street parking, plaza, and structure. Interior is tiny, but comfy for a place to chill and do some work, but there's also outdoor seating available. Love the decor! You can tell some passion was behind this establishment. The vibes are great, the service is friendly, and the coffee is chef's kiss, but I'm no expert. I just like what I like. Aesthetic and tasty! They've also got vegan pastries, vegan/gluten-free baked goods, plenty of plant milks, and of course avocado toast! WOOT! They also have a monthly themed menu that have creative and delicious options. Cons? Tiny indoor space fills up fast since it's in a corporate-plaza setting. Peak hours may have quite a wait, but if you're not in a rush it's worth it. Just check their hours. Amazing, flavorful coffee, decent pricing, great food, and welcoming customer service. A hidden gem! Check 'em out if you're in the area! You won't be disappointed!

I got my usual honey cinnamon latte, half sweet and extra hot, and it was amazing. Flavorful, simple, and HOT! Exactly what I needed and it totally hit the spot. They also have a ton of creative drink options, a bathroom in the back, and a really nice vibe overall. Just a heads up, the AC was blasting when I went, so I had to grab my jacket from the car Parking can be a little tricky since it's PB, but overall such a good find. Definitely coming back!

Today I tried the Lola Nana which has a touch Filipino touch with Turon flavors, the right amount of sweetness with espresso. They have ample seating and a nice aesthetic inside with the photos and decor around. I also came by to their anniversary party a few months ago and they had a fun birthday drink special that had confetti sprinkles. I definitely would love to try their matcha and bagels next time.

Why has this place not popped up for me whenever I look for 'coffee' or 'study spots'?! Cargo cafe is nestled in the center of the Irvine group business building and has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating (both shaded and not). This cafe is an excellent space to study, catch up, take business meetings, and all the above. They serve food, smoothies, coffee/tea, Matcha, and açai bowls. I had the chicken pesto sandwich, which was actually pretty good and the peanut butter cold brew cold foam, which was fantastic. The service is great, the space is very clean and there are restrooms available inside the building. Parking is validated for two hours and the view that you have is peaceful and tranquil. I can't wait to come back and I HIGHLY recommend you check them out. Big shout out to Bianca for providing exceptional and friendly customer service!

Once you drive in, you need to take a ticket and get it validated. It allows you to be here for up to two hours so it's plenty of time. My Mom and I ventured out and once we got there, it was smaller than I thought . The pond next to it was nice and relaxing but we ended up eating inside. I ordered an Açaí bowl which was good but not fabulous. It was overly sweet. My Mom just ordered a bagel and tea. It is a cafe that caters to the business people that work here. Needless to say, I won't have a reason to return.

Inside, they have a small table and a larger high-top table that would be great for studying or getting some work done, plus a few outdoor tables. The pastries all looked amazing, but I decided to go with a jalapeño cheddar bagel with cream cheese and a latte. The bagel was toasted perfectly, but I do wish they spread the cream cheese for you and served it on a plate instead of handing you cream cheese packets and the bagel in a paper bag. The staff was friendly, and I really appreciated that they were happy to serve my latte in a ceramic mug when I asked. It's such a small touch, but it definitely makes the coffee experience better. Overall, a cute neighborhood café that I'd happily come back to.

I really hate leaving negative reviews, especially for a company whose coffee we genuinely love,…read morebut I'm not sure how else to get in touch with someone. This is my second time ordering bags of coffee online. The first time, my order took almost two months to arrive. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and assumed it may have just been an unusually busy time. Since we really enjoy their coffee, I decided to order again. I placed my most recent order on June 8, and unfortunately, I still have not received it. I've reached out at least three times through the contact form on their website and haven't received a response. I've also tried calling, but the phone number listed on both Yelp and Google does not accept incoming calls. I even tried reaching out through Instagram, but their account does not accept messages. At this point, I'm simply hoping this review reaches someone at the company who can help me with my order. I live about four hours away, so going to the shop in person to resolve this isn't an option. Again, we genuinely love the coffee, which is why I gave ordering online another chance. I would really appreciate someone from the company reaching out so we can get this resolved.
