    Apple fritter with tons of cinnamon dumped inside
    Wendi O.

    ***new management review of donuts *** Friendly new staff, they take cards now . Let's start with the donut holes , this is all my kiddo wants to eat and he took a bite out of one and said it tasted weird and didn't want anymore , it's more cake like a little harder than normal . Glazed apple fritter with the apples and cinnamon inside , this is my favorite that I get all the time however , this time, there was so much cinnamon dumped inside the donut that it became overwhelming. Usually it's mixed in with the apples . I thought it was a fluke so my husband ate the second one we got and it was the same way . Not sure if new management got the old managements recipes or training ? But they could use some adjustments , the donuts are more l dry like than normal

    Happened to stumble on this hidden gem on my way home from work this morning and so glad I did! The donuts are so fresh and tasty! The business is clean, and I even noticed kids toys for younger children. Staff was friendly and quick to meet me at the counter to take my order. Delicious all around - highly recommend!

    Great prices. We liked all four donut flavors we tried. Not too sweet, still fresh tasting when we visited in the early afternoon.

    If places like Gladly's Coffee multiplied, they'd put every other café and coffee shop on notice --…read moreyes, even Starbucks... peace out. I've been coming here for years, and honestly, shame on me for waiting this long to leave a review. The coffee is consistently amazing, the customer service is top-tier, and the breakfast sandwiches never disappoint. It's rare to find a place that gets everything right, but Gladly's does. Huge thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Phillips for creating such a special spot for the community to enjoy. Your hard work and heart are felt in every cup and every visit. Thank you!

I'm talking, even in different countries where applicable. I was really at a loss a few months ago when they changed their recipe! I drive by this establishment every day on my way to get on the 94. I thought to myself, "one time can't hurt!" OH MY GOODNESS!!! The Chai tea ACTUALLY had TASTE! It did not taste like that new found chemical (classic) taste Starbucks apparently has pumped into my beloved drink. The customer service was bubbly and jovial! I went inside one day because the drive thru was a tad chaotic, and I saw what I believed to be the owner. He was so just, chill and carrying on with the patrons. I really hope he is cognizant and proud of his bustling coffee shop he has created. This man, is also on the headset as well. So the work ethic is there. I want to see this for a local business! This is why they THRIVE! I have never met this person, no idea of his name, I am an observer as well as being part of the food and beverage industry. I appreciate greatness. The customer service here, all around is 10/10! It took me 4 times going through the drive thru (they have a camera) , for them to know EXACTLY what I order! Crew! You actually make my day!! Shout out to Sara and Melody! Give this place a go! Oh,oh they also have a punch card! Make sure to get one! You get $5 off when you hit a certain number! (The number could be lower ;-)) Ok, I'll see you tomorrow guys :-)

I was on my way to church and needed an early cup and was surprised how many shops were not open at 7 AM. I'm sure I could have found a Starbucks but that's always reserved for a last resort. Big props to this spot being open early on a Sunday morning, so I could make it to church prayed up and fully caffeinated. The barista opened right on time (7 AM) I loved how friendly she was for it being that early, and she got me my drink within 3-4 minutes. I am not a big coffee drive-thru guy, but if I lived in the area, especially knowing it is veteran owned, I might become one. Thanks guys and best of luck!

I unfortunately chose the wrong line and got stuck behind this cop who was ordering but also decided to get out and help capture a lost dog which made 3 other cars cut in line ahead of me... the workers were very sweet and noticed I had been waiting and came out right away to help and make sure I got my order taken! The la mesa latte was super yummy and while I'm not the biggest fan of cold foam on lattes this one was pleasantly good! I had also gotten a bagel with cream cheese which I don't believe was toasted and would say that was the only downside but the delicious amount of cream cheese definitely helped.

    This is the best Starbucks team in all of San Diego…read more Trust me, I have been all over South Bay, North County, the coastal region and East County, and they are consistently good here. Great, really. The team is patient, attentive, purposeful in getting to know their regulars. Honestly. There is no Starbucks in San Diego where I feel more welcome and at home. And I find that when I travel outside of San Diego, I always miss the team here. So why did I dock two stars? Two main reasons: Corporate is ruining the experience here, and this is by far one of the busiest locations in the region -- it always feels so chaotic (because of the customers). No. 1 recently, the renovation. The location was shut down for a few weeks and reopened in August 2025 with a new look. Now, I appreciate that the team has more space in the back for storage and movement. They were absolutely crammed in before. But as with this ridiculous Starbucks trend, corporate redesigned what was more of a homegrown feel perfect for students and workers into more of a lounge. We lost seating, lost space, lost electrical outlets for our devices. The redesign, though fresh and bright with new decor and furniture, has been horrible from the perspective of the customer -- especially given how absolutely busy this place gets with students, teleworkers, groups, families, etc. Second, again, I must repeat it, this place is absolutely overrun. I wish the customer space could be extended. It gets crammed, loud, noisy, most always has a massively large line in for the drive through, which backs up for parking and non-Starbucks passengers driving through. And while the locals know how to manage this, non-locals always arrive confused and disjointed, contributing to the chaos. Despite this, I will still return most every single day for the excellent service, the feeling of family, and an expertly made quad shot of espresso. I will just forever miss the old ambiance for what it was.
