Brought the parentals over this morning for a cafecito date. It was their very first time.... AND they loved it!! I've been wanting to bring them here for a while. Great drinks, food & service. Always feels like you've stepped away to a little cafe in Italy. What we ordered: * The Signature - Pistachio Latte * Tiramisu Cold Brew * The Bellissimo - Banana Brûlée Latte * The Romeo * Baci Breakfast Sandwich x 2 * Bella Crema As always.... AMAZING!! My mom even said that the croissants were the best she's EVER had her entire life (73 years). That's a wonderful compliment.... My dad loved everything too. They both loved the ambiance. My mom couldn't stop looking at their moon. She said it looked so realistic. Loved sharing this place with them. It was so nice seeing how happy they were with their first visit here. read more

Had to try Baci Coffee since Instagram influenced me! First- the vibe is so cute. So much to see and great for photos. Really good lighting too ;) I had to have a taste of the Cremespresso. It's basically coffee plus ice cream. SO YUM! And of course I ordered "The Signature". I love anything pistachio. The staff was super friendly too. What a cute hidden gem! read more

Honey cinnamon latte =$10.49 (mostly ice) Pesto Villa Turkey sandwich =$14.99 Plus tax and tip. Nice people and good service, but not worth the price, especially with the hassle of construction going on (difficult to park) and the power kept going out:( read more

Super cute floral decor and lots of indoor seating. I tried the Dolce Kisu Matcha (4/5). It had a nice pistachio flavor and did not taste much like matcha. My friend and I shared the Tuscany on Toast (4/5) and The Amalfi Toast (5/5). The avocado was fresh and both avocado toast were good but I liked the Amalfi with the prosciutto the best. Service was friendly. read more

Extremely cute hidden gem alert! Oddly unsuspecting. You'd never know this cute place exists from the outside. You would never even just happen upon this cute coffee shop in your own! Thank you IG for another great find! One late weekend morning, we sought Baci out! Located on the first floor inside a small apartment complex of Camino Del Rio south. They have a few designated parking spots right outside their shop. We thought the apartment complex shared the lot with the shop, but parking is available in any open spot. The complex seems to only be partially occupied. We just wanted a quick small bite. Upon our first visit we ordered the Morning market croissant sandwich (cost $12.99) just to try out and see if we would like it. The toasted croissant was filled with ham and cheese and a delicious garlic spread, we dined there in the front portion of the cafe amidst the beautiful cherry blossom trees. It was absolutely delish and hit the spot and we were on our way! The other items we've tried at Baci include there following: All delish! - The Don: sandwich with chicken, bacon, avocado, provolone, arugula, pesto and garlic aioli on sourdough, warmed up panini style - Italian croissant sandwich: mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula, lemon dill aioli with a balsamic glaze - The Empress/ Tiramisu latte: the drink is sweet with a housemade tiramisu foam, very rich, it's similar to a latte They also have specialty items like coffee, cookies, packaged pastas to buy. If you purchase $25 worth of merchandise, you get a free Baci tote bag! They have this back area which seems like a speakeasy, slightly hidden, online says you have a reserve a table there. If it's not busy during the day, you can ask staff if you can dine in that area. Beautifully decorated, the room is draped with cherry blossom like trees creating a magical space. A unique find, this cute coffee shop transports you to some place out of a Parisian neighborhood. They are typically open until 2 pm daily and 4 pm (Saturday) & 3 pm (Sunday). Staff is extremely friendly and you can even call in your ahead order prior to arrival! Give them a try and enjoy! Simply the best! Series: 18 2026: 37 read more

Cute little coffee shop in Mission Valley! It can be super tricky to find and can easily miss the signs that direct you to their business. But once we found it, it was like you stepped into Italian cafe. I ordered an iced signature latte that comes with pistachio butter and I was shocked how much I loved it. It wasn't artificially sweet which can happen when you have a pistachio syrup. I can see why it's known as their best drink! I also ordered the ham and cheese croissant, but since they were out of garlic aioli, it came with lemon dill aioli. It was the perfect flavors together and I'd order it like that in the future! read more

This is one of the few places I've found in Southern CA that has dolonga (whipped coffee!)

Cute little cafe! Came here looking for the TSA enrollment office only to discover it's no longer here. The coffee house it decorated so nicely. It's an Insta photo backdrop!! We only ordered a croissant which was quite tasty. Nice crunch, with a beautiful fluffy and flaky center. The staff was very friendly. At the time, there were not too many people there. Don't think it's well known based on the location. Check it out if you're in the area! read more

Finally got to visit! Already can't wait to go back! Loved it here! They have multiples areas of seating. All of the rooms are pretty aesthetically pleasing. I got the caprese panini - and the flavors were perfection! The Milano Matcha (strawberry matcha with cold foam) was yummy - I did order it half sweet which was the perfect level of sweetness for me. We ordered at the counter, and they gave us a number and brought out our food and drinks when they were ready. Next time I visit, I'm getting the exact same thing!!! Maybe I'll try a different matcha latte for variety but the panini was one of the best caprese paninis I've ever had! read more

First time here and it's a hidden gem! The cafe is super decked out with plants and cute decor with notes hanging from them. Plenty of indoor seating with a cafe vibe and there is an additional side to the left that almost makes it look like a dark speakeasy restaurant! Staff is very friendly, the drinks are EXPENSIVE just a heads $8-$9 drinks, I ordered the classic which is a pistachio coffee it was actually really good maybe I guess was worth the money but not a place to come at if your on a budget just looking to get caffeinated. I have yet to try the food but it sounded all too good def will be back to check it out. read more

Baci coffee has been on my SD bucketlist of coffeeshops for so long, I don't know why I didn't try it sooner! Ample selection of drinks to choose from, apart of customizations. I tried the golden grove matcha (matcha drink blended with banana puree) and it was sooo delicious and refreshing. Of course, can't leave without trying their sweet croissants you see all over social media. Our group shared 2 - the midnight garden (pistachio + chocolate) and the strawberry roma (with a cheesecake filling). Both served warm, both are comforting and rich in flavor. The space inside is so much larger than anticipated, with ample of seating and beautiful dècor. There is so much to see inside, including a shop of imported Italian goodies like olives, jams, chocolate bars, cookies, and more. Staff is the friendliest I have met in a while, going above and beyond with taking our orders and being attentive. I look forward to coming back and bring a friend to try more of their sweet croissants and drinks. Getting there can be a bit tricky - if you miss the entrance, you'd have to make a U-turn or go around to return. But other than that, once you take the correct entrance there are signs leading to their parking lot. read more

Stopped In for a midday pick me up. Parking is small so I can't imagine how crazy it'll get when this place is super busy or other businesses are also open. The under the Tuscan moon area was booked and many tables have reserved placards up so highly recommend it if you want to sit in a particular section. Inside was very pretty none the less, we had a cute table for the two of us, and there there shelves of Italian goods for purchase. The menu was extensive, but there were quite a few items that they were out of stock and my husband was a little disappointed. For us the drinks were very sweet. Strong but a little too sweet for my personal preference. I think the sugar overpowered the caffeine so I was not a fan personally. I would come back for the vibes and hopefully find something that fits my palette. read more

This place is so cool! Got the iced chai latte which was excellent. The Staff were super nice! Lots of food choices and coffee drinks and pastries. It's tucked away under an apartment building and parking is tricky. read more

The parking can be a little confusing because almost all of the spots are marked as reserved, making it unclear where guests should park. The place itself is beautiful, and the decor is unique and inviting. I've visited twice, and while the service has been fine, it hasn't been anything particularly outstanding. The food is the reason I keep coming back, especially the croissant sandwiches. They are delicious and definitely the highlight of the experience. read more

Aesthetics, Aesthetics, Aesthetics! This place is beautiful. For sure has the touch of an interior designer and each of the 3 rooms as so perfectly appointed. Stopped on my way to work and for sure will be back when I have more time. Coffee selection was good with many unique one of a kind options. Staff was friendly as prompt as well. read more

cute place! Very spacious. Went closer to closing time as I was in the area. It's very secluded, definitely a place you know you can get some work done for a few hrs without being distracted. I ordered a simple iced mocha with oat milk; wanted to try a specialty drink but they were closing soon and was indecisive! Next time. The mocha was good, good quality coffee, not overly sweet or bitter. The cashier was super friendly, appreciated they brought out my drink and handed it to me. I'd like to come back and try something else! read more

This Sunday, the place seemed to be severely under staffed. We had a reservation to have a lil birthday celebration. There was no indication of where to go with a reservation so we stood in line. Our server took us to our seat. We let her know we're ready to order. We order, fast forward 30 minutes and we have no water left, still no drinks or food. We left because of the poor service and lack of communication. We were a little upset with this experience. Edit: We decided to give this place another chance on a weekday instead of a weekend. Service was pristine. Communication was great. And they still gave me a birthday celebratory dessert which was sweet. Wait on food was average 20-30 mins but we had our drinks so we were happy campers. It was a great experience and look forward to coming again. The avocado sampler was really nice to get a taste of what they have to offer. The caprese toast was my favorite and the amalfi toast tastes very good with a side of their garlic aioli. The banana jam matcha (I forgot the name) was super good too! The only critique I'd have is to have the waiters check on tables more often. read more

Been on my list for a while now and glad I can finally check off coming here. Came on a Sunday morning before a Costco trip. It was about 10am when I arrived and it was busy. We ended up ordering two coffees and a breakfast gross ain't to share. They must've been down someone in the kitchen + with it being pretty busy (about 15 people there) they were backed up. We didn't end up getting our food and drinks to go until about 1040. About a 25 minute wait. They have a lovely and large selection of drinks. I spent like ten minutes just trying to decide! They have about 25 drinks to choose from and another 20 items on their food menu. They also sell Italian products (salsa, pasta, condiments, non perishables etc) here as this is the breakfast / coffee portion of their restaurant which is down the street. Parking is atrocious. You go down a skinny driveway and then there are only 5ish parking spots right in front of the store. It's connected to an apartment building and they have reserved parking spots for them. I parked there as I knew I wouldn't be long but it's not a great parking situation. As soon as you enter it's filled with warmth and coziness. The thing that catches your eye first is the wishing tree. There are sheets of paper where you can write down your goals, wishes, desires or notes for others to read. There are seating in the first section for 20 people and then there is a separate section that people can sit and enjoy their meal and that can fit about 40. It's still not completely finished with the lighting in that section but unless you're looking up, you won't notice. Vibes is definitely on point. The Roman Mirage which is chocolate pistachio latte made with housemade creamy pistachio butter was much better than the Happiness Latte which is an indulgent latte with turmeric, agave, & cinnamon. All drinks come in a 16 or 24oz cup. The Roman was better because it was much more flavorful. You could taste the different flavors and it all mixed in smoothly. The happiness latte was a bit more mellow. The Godfather which cost 12.49 had Ham, Provolone, Arugula, Pepperoncini, and Spinach Aioli. A runny egg would have made this from a great dish to a *chef kiss* but I was happy with this. The aioli was delightful. read more

I think this is my new favorite coffee shop! My fiancee took me here because I wanted to have a slow Saturday morning and read my book. And boy was this a hiddengem! The aesthetics alone are worth the trip! Absolutely gorgeous decor and the shop itself is massive with 4 different themed rooms. Everything was so meticulously decorated and thoughtful it made the experience for us. We ordered the pistachio flight (only available when you make a reservation), the gingerbread chai, strawberry lemonade, the baci breakfast sandwich, and the Italian croissant. Here are our thoughts: Pistachio flight- phenomenal Gingerbread chai- amazing and spiced in the best way Strawberry lemonade- honestly horrible will never get again. Too watery and not flavorful. Baci breakfast sandwich- amazing, eggs and bacon were a highlight Italian croissant- amazingly light and tasty. We will for sure be back. I'm already planning my birthday morning here. Staff was so friendly and helpful we absolutely loved this place. read more

Thanks to my trusted Yelp App, I've been to Baci Coffee a couple of times. It's located in Mission Valley and tucked away on top of the hills of Camino Del Rio South. The parking situation is interesting but you'll clearly see marked signage. Baci means "kisses" in Italian. I definitely feel the looove. I call it my safe coffee haven. The vibes are always serene and majestic. I was immediately drawn to the decorations as soon as I walked into this café...sooo beauuutiful. I'm a huuuge fan of anything lunar and floral. Importantly, the staff are friendly and the service is usually decent. I'm all about Baci now...it's my coffee love affair ;-) read more

Went to Baci Coffee Speakeasy -- definitely a hidden location. I honestly would've never known it existed without looking it up. The interior is super cute with a charming Italian vibe. The decor alone deserves five stars -- really well done and cozy. That said, the food felt overpriced for what you get. Service was very slow (we waited about 45 minutes), and while the staff was nice and friendly, the food itself was just okay -- nothing special. I would probably go back to work or hang out because the atmosphere is great, but not necessarily for the food. read more

Baci is an Italy themed coffee shop with a variety of flavored coffee and sweet & savory foods. I ordered the pistachio latte! I absolutely loved the taste and presentation. This is a hidden gem that most people do not know about. Ambiance is wonderful and transports you to Italy. Customer service is standard. I highly recommend if you want to try a unique coffee shop! However, be aware that it can be tricky to find this location. read more

It's SUCH a cute getaway here. Like a small little hideout. I went on a little spontaneous outing with my family and stumbled across this cafe. It was not small at all. It was actually very spacious!! And the fall decor was super cute too! I got a latte and a nutella strawberry croissant and the croissant was to DIE FOR. Honestly the best croissant I've had in my life. The filling could use some work though. As for the latte, it was great! Perfect amount of sweetness and had amazing depth in flavor. I love how there were different themes in the shop too! I sat under the tree where you can write down a wish/dream/goal on a piece of paper and hang it up. It was a sweet kind of experience that reminded me of my childhood :) The service was nice and sweet and they really took care of us. They checked on us several times and made sure we got all our orders at the same time too. I'd definitely recommend checking this place out. Huge 10/10 read more

Such a cute little coffee shop!! Ambiance was so festive with their Christmas decor! My friend and I felt so relaxed. Their atmosphere was exquisite. It was so spacious that despite when they're busy (because they're so popular), it still felt nice and secluded for my friend and I. Very intimate setting. Their coffee was delicious, and their croissants were sooOo flaky! I loved how they had both sweet and savory options. Customer service was top notch. The only thing that I found difficulties with were- 1. Finding the location. There are signs and banners leading to the coffee shop. However, I turned a little too early, turn UP the yellow-ish ramp and you'll be able to find the coffee shop on the right! 2. Parking. Parking was slim which makes larger group gatherings a little difficult- recommend carpooling if you're planning to have a large festive group gathering! They had maybe 5-6 stalls assigned right in front of the shop for one hour parking. The lady who took our order informed us we could also park in areas that are reserved without the 300 marking on the stall. Overall would come back. I had their peppermint grinch latte and it was so scrumptious! read more

Where Baci Coffee really excels is in their incredibly well-thought-out interior design and atmosphere, and their high level of customer service. The food and coffee itself do, however, leave something to be desired. The design and structure of this shop is impressive. It's an expansive restaurant, coffee shop, and store that fills out an entire apartment building lobby. They have a curated selection of Italian goods--similar to what you'd find in Mona Lisa or Filippi's in Little Italy--plus numerous tables, a decorated dining room, and a fake tree where you can pin cards with dreams written on them. The woman who took my order was very friendly and cordial. I got an Americano and a "Casanova Chicken Melt." The Americano was decent, but not as good as some of the more selective shops in town. It lacked the uniform flavor of a high-quality roast and didn't have recognizable flavor notes. The sandwich was decent, but kind of tasted like an elevated chicken salad sandwich. Overall, I think this is a cool place. They obviously put in a serious effort. However, there's room to grow in terms of coffee and food selections. There some structural and quality issues with the food, and I hope they can elevate their menu to a level that matches that incredible curation of the shop's design and atmosphere. read more

Cozy and intimate vibes. We made a reservation to enjoy the speakeasy "Under the Tuscan". Although I enjoyed it, it didn't really give speakeasy vibes. I was expected a more closed off, secret entrance to the room itself. Even with that being said, I loved the service and enjoyed my Picasso Pumpkin drink which was flavorful. They had a toast flight special which was really delicious especially the avocado toast with eggs and dill flavor. Overall, I enjoyed this spot and would recommend. read more

Service is prompt and friendly. It does not look like anyone is there but there is someone at the window. Very cute inside - would be great for a small baby shower or bridal shower type of vibe. There was really pretty room but most of the tables were either dirty or reserved which was disappointing but we sat in the main entrance. They have paper you can write on and hang from trees in the entrance dinning area. Croissants are perfectly flaky and buttery! I would come back for the strawberry cheesecake croissant any day! My friend is a pistachio lover and greatly enjoyed the pistachio cold brew. She got the pistachio croissant to go but it does look amazing. We got the breakfast croissant but bacon was undercooked for our liking so we ended up pulling it out. The grilled cheese is delicious! I enjoyed the turkey pesto the most out of all the sandwiches. The tomato soup was not worth the money and disappointing, it was not hot but just warm and just over all underwhelming. read more

After my original review, the owner reached out to me personally and invited us back so they could make things right. We decided to give Baci Coffee another chance, and I'm really glad we did. The experience this time was completely different. They took amazing care of us from the moment we got there, the service was great, and the food was absolutely amazing. You could tell they genuinely cared about making up for our first experience and making sure we had a good time. I really respect a business that can acknowledge when something went wrong and actually go out of their way to fix it. Our first visit may not have gone as planned, but they completely turned our opinion around. We'll definitely be back. 5 stars and a huge thank you to the owner and staff for taking care of us! read more

The ambiance is amazing, a lot of beautiful scenery. The coffee drinks were tasty and so were the flights of toast... caprese, prosciutto, and egg and avocado.

You HAVE to go to this place. My friend brought me and so far I've brought two friends. This place is hard to find since it's in one of the apartment buildings. But once you find it you'll know where to go when you go back. The coffee is really great and I could, and have, gone there just for coffee. Lately I've been having lunch there in addition to coffee. My favorite so far is the grilled cheese and tomato soup. It was such a gift to my taste buds. The atmosphere is also really nice as there are different areas to sit in, depending on your mood or just what feels comfortable. The one downside is the parking situation. There are just a few parking spots in front of the coffee shop. I have heard that there my be more parking around the back of the building but I don't know for sure. Try this place for sure. read more

A hidden gem if there ever was one, Baci Coffee is a cute Italian cafe nestle in the hills of mission valley where you'd least expect it. Serving up modern takes on Italian themed coffee drinks and beautifully crafted pastries, Baci hits on all cylinders when it comes to flavors and originality. The choco chai latte was exactly what you'd want from the marriage of those two distinct flavors. This paired with the breakfast sandwich was a perfect combination of sweet and savory. One of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. The service was fast and very polite. The ordering process was simple and efficient. The decor is elegant and welcoming while also interesting and unique. Plus they even sell some Italian market style goods like pasta, spreads, cookies, and olive oils if you're interested in something extra to bring back from your trip. The location is a bit off the beaten path so make sure to use that gps and follow the signs they have to find the parking. They have a few spots labeled for customers as well as some spots shared with the apartment building which are not specifically reserved for tenants. Just follow the signage and you'll find it. If you want to try something new you haven't had before, head to Baci Coffee and grab a latte. read more

Saw this place in Instagram as a hidden gem. So we were excited to give this place a try. Location is a bit off from all the other businesses within Mission Valley so it is tucked away in an apartment complex. Ambiance is gorgeous. Very girlie for a meetup for coffee or brunch. There are a few patio seating outside. We opted to sit inside where a gorgeous spring tree is the centerpiece of the entire space. Service was friendly but slow. It seemed like a slow-paced quiet vibe which is fine if you plan to hangout for a couple of hours, although designated parking is for only 1-hour. Food is as okay. A bit pricey for what we got. Nothing too special. We ordered the breakfast sandwich and salad. Beautiful presentation but something I can make at home. We did not get to try their croissants which I believe they are known for as well as their drinks. I actually like their coffee drinks. They are strong which is how I like my coffee. read more

The place is in a hard to find area. If you follow the signs and your gps you should have no issues tho. Definitely a hidden gem because it's not in an area you would pass by at all. The croissants were all amazing. A bit pricy, but the taste makes up for it. Coffees were all nice too. Recommend getting them hot as you get more of the flavor. We did the speakeasy and it was nice in there. Lots of flowers and nice paintings. It's the same menu so wouldn't say it's completely worth getting reservation over just eating at the cafe. Would definitely go again for the croissants. It will take some time for food when busy, but the coffee didn't take long. read more
