    Shop with imported Italian goodies and cashier
    Nayeli R.

    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.

    Coffee date with the hubby!! We love the vibe here..... Everything is always so yummy. I had Juliet's Kiss. The hubby had The Colosseo Cold Brew. We shared the Baci Croissant Breakfast Sandwich & The Donatello Apple Pie. YUMMY!! Everything here is amazing & they have great customer service. #BaciCoffee #WhereLoveMeetsFlavor #DiningWithTheAndersons #Cafecito

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 ;-)

    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

    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!

    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.

    Wow the cutest amazing decor ever! Highly recommend this place for desserts, sandwiches and also coffee! Good customer service Parking- reserved spots without numbers or 1 hour parking.

My friends and I were just looking to get a coffee in Little Italy, but when we walked in and saw all the delicious treats we had to try something else as well. I ordered a latte and neglected to tell them it was for here so I was given a paper cup, but they give real cups if you ask. The latte was good, and my friend bought a kitchen sink type cookie with chocolate, coconut, and macadamia nuts. It was warm and gooey good! Another friend tried the gelato and said it was very good. There are a few tables inside and tables out in front outside. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful San Diego weather. The decor and tables definitely gives you an old school Italian neighborhood vibe with Italian markets right next door.

Pizza was good, but soggy in the middle. The pasta was good, no complaints there. The sandwich was very lacking in the meat department... It was basically a bread and arugula sandwich. Had very low expectations for the gelato to begin with seeing as the colors were extremely unnatural and the way it was heaped was a clear indication to me that it is not legitimate gelato and unfortunately, I was proven very right. I got the strawberry so that my toddler could have a few few bites and it was so unnatural and weird tasting that she didn't even want any... And if that doesn't say something! My husband got the coffee flavor and he literally took three bites and threw it away as well. I will say, though, on the food front, the prices are reasonable here all things considered, but maybe stick with pasta... based on everything As a whole though, you can likely get a much more legitimate Italian meal somewhere else in the area, but it will probably cost you more.

    Stumbled upon Nibble Chocolate and I'm so glad I did. Ambience is sweet and cozy. It's a cute…read morelittle shop that feels like a hidden gem, especially if you're someone who appreciates good quality chocolate. They have a great variety to choose from, whether you're into milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even non dairy options. I also love that they offer chocolate drinks and coffee, so it's easy to turn a quick stop into a little treat moment. I tried the peanut butter dates and they were so good. Smooth, rich, and just the right size when you want something sweet without going overboard. I also had a dark chocolate truffle and that one was just as good. You can really taste the quality. Customer service was a highlight. The guy helping me was super personable, gave great suggestions for drinks, and was genuinely kind, which always makes the experience better. Honestly, I'm just happy I found a chocolate spot within walking distance. Definitely worth stopping by if you're craving something sweet but still want it to feel a little elevated.

I sampled chocolate from Peru, Madagascar, and Kenya, and they all had unique fruity characteristics. Because they're vegan, so they use oat milk for their chocolate instead of dairy. My wife and I also wanted some drinks while we were here. I had a hot chocolate. My wife had hers with espresso shots. Good espresso in pure chocolate will never not be good. They are family owned and they only add chocolate, sugar, and oat milk to make their bars. Overall, this was a fun place to check out at Little Italy, and they also had a stall at the Farmer's Market.

    We stopped by this little gelato shop in Little Italy after seeing all the great reviews, and it…read moreabsolutely lived up to the hype. We got lucky and arrived just before the rush. There was hardly anyone in line when we walked in, but by the time we got our gelato and turned around, the line was out the door! I travel to Italy regularly for work, so I've had my fair share of authentic gelato. I have to say, the quality and flavors here were outstanding. Rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. What made the experience even better was the staff. One of the employees was incredibly friendly, energetic, and genuinely passionate about the gelato. He encouraged us to sample flavors, asked what kinds of flavors we enjoyed, and made thoughtful recommendations based on our preferences. It felt like talking with a wine sommelier--someone who truly understood flavor and wanted us to find the perfect match. You could tell he genuinely loved his job, and that enthusiasm made the whole experience even more memorable. We took our gelato outside, sat at one of the sidewalk tables, and spent the evening people-watching. It was the perfect way to end a beautiful San Diego night. The shop itself is casual, with just a few seats inside and several tables outside. It's a great stop whether you're on a date, out with friends, or enjoying a family night in Little Italy. Definitely a five-star experience. I'll be back the next time I'm in San Diego.

I sampled Rose Almond (Lebanese Rose Water with Organic Almond Butter), Pure Watermelon and Stracciatella. The Rose Almond was fragrant, Pure Watermelon refreshing and Stracciatella was a classic. I chose Rose Almond and Stracciatella in a Piccolo cup which was perfect for me. The gelato was dense and delicious - I really enjoyed every bite of it. It was nice to be able to sit near the windows and people watch.
