Dang! They opened another Banana Dang! This inland version is closer and sits between a couple…read moreplaces I need to go from time to time. I have visted the original locations near Mission in Oceanside for years. It's great to have another in the neighborhood. I almost always get a mocha here, as they know what they are doing with craft coffee. I love thier hot cups too, they are not flimsy! My favorite of BD is the art and merch available. They have cozy fleece banana sweatshirts to custom art on the walls for sale. Go here, have the coffee - Dang it's good. Note to Self: Try a Banana Dang specialty coffee on your next visit. A kind of play on; no shoes, no shirt, no service...there was a Ryan Gosling pic that used to say something like; Wear a shirt, unless you are Ryan Gosling. Now, there is Bad Bunny... #Dang #BananaDang #Vista #CraftCoffee

Five stars for branding - I loved the fun vibes and banana everything, including cute mugs, shirts,…read morehats, pencils, stickers, etc. The employees were helpful in suggesting drinks for our first visit. If you love banana-anything, this spot is a no brainer! They also have a lot of non-banana options (e.g. straight lattes, americanos, fruit smoothies, etc.) I wish you could get larger sizes, but as with a lot of niche coffee shops, they only have 1 size offering. The Dirty Nutty Dang was decadent and delish - banana chocolately peanut buttery smoothie with 2 shots of espresso. The ShakEned BaNana was also a hit - a smoothe banana flavored latte with oak milk. Definitely a fun place to try for your next coffee outing!

Solid coffee spot. Favorites are Iced Vanilla Latte and Hot LaVa (Lavender Vanilla). Another…read morego-to is the Sea Salt Iced Coffee. I order that when I want my coffee to be more of a sweet treat. Talitha Coffee is their brand of choice. I prefer to order in person instead of mobile. Their platform isn't for me. It feels cumbersome to navigate. At the register, I always make sure to check in to get Cash App stars and have used the 15% off reward (3 Stars) on numerous occasions. Skybound offer desserts too. It's in their name! Instead of ordering one from the restaurant, we'll stop by on the way home. Selection varies but there's always something that satisfies our sweet tooth. Skybound is perfect for a coffee meetup or dessert date. Plenty of parking. There are few outdoor tables if you want the al fresco experience. I've been a patron for over 10 years. They have been the only small business coffee spot in the area. Glad to support and have them in the neighborhood.

Anytime my family is visiting the in-laws in San Marcos, we always make our way to El Kafecito. The…read moreSan Marcos location closes early, so we stumbled onto the location in Vista. We have had a great experience during all our visits. Our most recent visit was on Christmas Eve (12/24/25). It was rainy and gloomy. Both baristas were pleasant and cheery especially since it was Christmas Eve. We ordered 3 coffees and 1 smoothie. The baristas did not seem irritated or bothered by this rather continued to converse with us. We ordered the Mazapan, Tres Leches, and Horchata. We got the strawberry and banana smoothie for our daughter. All four drinks came out to $25 or so. Definitely a bargain and steal compared to Bay Area prices. This was even considering we got the 20oz drinks. El Kafecito is a recommended stop anytime you are in that area.

You can almost miss this place but it's in the corner of a hotel parking lot! It's cute!…read more Customer service is 10/10. Both girls were so sweet and helpful.

One of the best in north county. All their pastries are really really good! Very friendly staff.read more

OMG Becky! We like all their big buns and we cannot lie they are all pretty great!…read more When walking into the shop you are met with a beautiful case. Golden outside of all the pastries with some color here and there displaying additional flavors of blueberry, ube, lemon...... freaking A man. I was overwhelmed and the lady in front was patient and helpful. I grabbed a sausage roll for myself. I grabbed a box of treats for my team. Which I did have a sampling of as well. Their chocolate chip cookie was so good! Has that chew we all like. The team had nothing but positive feedback as well. I cannot wait to come Back

(Review of coffee shop only, I've never gone in the cat room.)…read more I hate what has become of my favorite cafe. I've come here multiple times a week since it opened because I can walk here from work. Not long ago many of the long time employees began disappearing and a new person seems to be in charge. I'm not sure if she bought the place or was put in charge but things immediately went downhill- -Some of the menu changed and drinks/ food quality dropped. My order often comes out wrong. - The place is now *filthy*. Tables are always dirty and the bathroom is nasty. As I was waiting for my order I leaned on a table and put my hand down on something sticky with several long black hairs stuck to it. I never eat in any more. - The new manager is incredibly abrasive and unprofessional. She always complaining loudly to her employees while they work and it's sometimes about customers. (She called a guy who called in an order "stupid.") She and her family members often take up multiple tables in the cafe even when it's busy. I know they have an office so why is she always taking up a table for four with her paperwork? I've seen people looking for a table and then leave because she and her family had spread across mulitiple tables (for only a couple of people.) - There's often only one (nice) young lady working behind the counter so things go *slow*. I don't know if they're understaffed because they're cutting corners, but I will say that turnover seems high lately. Gee, I wonder why? I will keep picking up my black coffee here but I will never stay or get something "fancy" ever again. Maybe visit the cats but don't expect a nice place to hang/work.

This cute and quirky coffee shop offers impeccable vibes and delicious beverages…read more Walking into this Twin Peaks-esque shop feels like being transported to a liminal and nostalgic dimension. The CRT TV playing VHS tapes, along with the selection of comics and decorations makes this feel like a portal to a different place. The coffee and tea selection is good, with everything they serve being made with attention to care and quality. The service is really welcoming. Employees are warm and kind and always down to help and chat. The space is small with seating inside and outside. Highly recommend to stop by if you're in the area!

The store has a unique vibe, with old VHSs playing, a giant astronaut mural, tech decks, and other knickknacks. This shop has become a gem in the heart of old Vista, a community-oriented space serving some of the best brews and espresso experiments in north county San Diego. Try their cortado, "youniverse" cold brew, or cappuccino. They also serve a bunch of single serve clever drip coffees, loose-leaf teas, and even kombucha! Whether you're a coffee lover or just interested in cool spaces, be sure to check out this shop while you're out and about in Vista! Update: Been back several times since my original review. Still love this place's vibe, aesthetic, and attention to quality. Every drink is really good, and they are serious about their coffee and brewing. I've bought a couple bags of beans from here and they were great as both hot espresso and cold brew. Come by and support Vista local!
