Parking structure with free parking. Was busy the day we went. Staff the helpful. On the higher price point, even the regular pour over coffee was $6 so I opted for a drink they are known for, the Iced Nola for $7 and the banana bread for $6.50. It may be because I'm older but despite it being well made and tasty, this would be more of a when I am looking to splurge kind of purchase. Everything was excellently made for what it's worth read more

I enjoyed the Iced Nola, cold brew single origin, and the lattes, but the single origin espresso could have used more crema. Ordered 6 drinks and they all came out in intervals. 2x cold brews came out first, then the Iced Nola, then the lattes, then maybe 10 minutes later the single origin espresso came out. I found out this visit that Blue Bottle has an app now to earn rewards every time you order! read more

TL;DR Blue Bottle hits it out of the park with their consistency in taste, minimal aesthetic, and passionate baristas who offer above-and-beyond hospitality. If I could give this location 10 stars I would, and it's all thanks to the lovely baristas led by their manager Jules. I came to this location to redeem my hankering for their mocha, as La Jolla ran out of oat milk, which is basically my nightmare as a lactose-intolerant coffee fiend. BIG TIP: the Blue Bottle mocha is my favorite of all coffee shop mochas because a) it is dairy free and b) they use chocolate from local chocolate makers. Local business win! After the very kind barista upfront commiserated with me for not being able to get my star mocha the day before, my husband ambled up to the front and asked if they had a bag of Philippine beans to buy -- a new bean they're featuring. The manager, Jules, overheard and relayed that they sadly did not... !! BUT !! "I brought a bag for my team to try," he said. "My shift is over now... but I can brew it for you to taste, too." He didn't have to do that, but he was sooo kind to offer. And so, Jules stuck around another ~10+ minutes, all to give my husband a taste of the beans he simply asked about. What I love about coffee culture is the passion of the baristas and their willingness to share this with you. Jules, my husband, and I stood around talking about our favorite coffee spots and the coffee culture from here to LA for a few more minutes, before letting him go on about his day. Jules really understands hospitality in a way that many establishments don't get, and I truly love how it brings people together. Thank you Jules for showing us -- hospitality is not dead. I hope we get to meet again the next time we visit! read more

First time visiting a Blue Bottle Coffee location! I parked in the free parking structure to meet up with a former colleague around 9am on a weekday. Inside, I was struck by the minimalist decor, cleanliness, and plentiful seating. We ordered at the counter and the team was friendly, welcoming, patient in answering all of our questions, and providing helpful suggestions. I had an English Breakfast latte with oat milk. They took the time to steep the tea, and asked me how much of the frothed milk I wanted. I let them use their judgment and it was absolutely perfect! The foamed milk was present throughout my entire drinking experience. I feel like that's not my typical experience at other places I go, so I was pleasantly surprised. My companion got a coffee-based drink and her various requests were all accommodated. She also got a scone; it was served on a reusable plate and looked fresh and very good! We ended up sitting outside since it was a nice day. There were LOTS of seats available outside too. I had a very positive experience. My drink was on the pricy side but it was worth the splurge. read more

Had a girly girls day with my sister-in-law and niece in Carmel Valley and BLUE BOTTLE COFFEE @ One Paseo was on the list! I frequent the cafe in Las Vegas, so I was excited to see their reaction after sipping on a NOLA!! This location is situated in the cutest outdoor shopping center!! The interior is pretty spacious, but when the San Diego sunshine is in full effect, you can enjoy your favorite coffee on one of the many tables outside! I just love love love the ICED NOLA. It is made with a cold-brewed blend of specialty coffee and roasted chicory, mixed with milk and sugar, which delivers a sweet, creamy, and rich cup of happiness!! Service was friendly and patient!! My SIL had so many questions about the merchandise, and we didn't feel rushed, even with the long line of customers. Blue Bottle also serves Espresso, Lattes, and food. I hope you get to check it out and love it as much as I do!! read more

The Iced Nola is delicious here. There's always a line here but it goes very quick. It's in One Paseo which seems to attract a lot of families with kids. It's a good place to grab a coffee and sit outside while the kids play in the grass or the small 'playground'. read more

Went this morning to One Paseo to help socialize our puppy to parking garage & open air mall. Stopped at Blue Bottle for lattes. There were 3 people working the expresso machines, one cashier & one rover. No one was in line - just a few people at the tables inside. It took way too long to prepare 2 lattes. Then the coffee/lattes weren't as hot as I would expect. Very disappointed in the experience. read more

Consistent good quality coffee and service expected from a Blue Bottle location. Lots of seating indoors perfect for a short or long visit. Sweet latte is my go-to drink here. read more

Oat milk is *not* extra here! Justice for the lactose intolerant. I feel so seen. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating to get your daily intake of Vitamin D. I had a matcha iced latte - which had a good flavor and was not too sweet- I would probably just ask for less ice next time. I recommend parking in one of the structures at the roundabouts - it can be difficulty finding spots outside of the structure at times. Hope to be back soon! read more

Absolutely amazing coffee, from a coffee purist perspective. The espresso was so good.

I mean, I've loved this place from being in the Bay Area back in the day! This place now has locations all over and it's got an amazing cup of Joe... highly recommend downloading the app to order ahead and skip the line. read more

Okay I've been to many many coffee shops around san diego. For starters, this sandwich was not worth however much it was. It was a square piece of egg on dry sourdough toast. Do not get this sandwich ever. However, the inside was clean, it was a little small. The workers were suuuper sweet, the girl who helped me was so nice. The coffee could be better, but that's just because I'm very picky. I got an almond milk cappuccino with the brown molasis/sugar. It was a good cappuccino but for the size & price I would've spent it elsewhere. I wouldn't give this place a 3/5, more like a 3.9. read more

I've had Blue Bottle coffee twice now within a 2-week period. My first experience was a cappuccino that I had at the coffee shop. I enjoyed it so much that when my company had a meeting, my colleague and I picked up coffees, teas, and pastries for our group. I had an iced green tea and liked the freshness of it. It paired really well with the coconut waffle. The waffle was absolutely delicious! I look forward to trying other items from here! read more

Blue Bottle is what I call my guilty pleasure "vacation coffee". They aren't in my hometown, but I'll indulge on a visit to San Francisco or San Diego. The unique NOLA iced coffee with milk is a favorite. I'm normally an oat milk fan, and having that is a plus. The vibe is relaxed and chill. The cafe is furnished in pleasing colors and kept immaculately clean. There's not the crazy crowd and rush of other coffee chains. That's mot to say they're empty...by no means...a nice steady stream of guests, but not crazy. Always look forward to my next visit here. read more

The coffee is the best tasting coffee I've ever had and I've had a lot of coffee. It's just a pour over, but it's perfect, the process and the temperature. I find myself tipping the cup completely upside down to get every last drop out. I hate that I like it so much. read more

We came in what was apparently "the side door" which we didn't realize was not the main door until we were finished ordering. Had to navigate through a maze of customers and furniture to get to the place to order. The menu was in super small font, and at a weird height so you couldn't read it well. My husband had to tell me what it said because it was too small to be read from far away and too blurry with my reading glasses on. Got a matcha latte, I believe their drinks come standard with oat milk and there is an up charge for almond milk. I don't know, nor care, if they offer cow's milk. The drinks were ok, nothing exciting, and this wouldn't be a go-to place when I visit the area. The decor is very minimalism inspired. Not a fan, as it doesn't foster a coffee shop hang feel. The bathroom was broken and closed, no idea why and no idea when it might open up again. We had to ask where to find a restroom and were directed to another business. With all the rules and regulations that California has, a business's public restroom being closed is surely violating some code. read more

They were closing early today and the service was obviously rushed at the end. Order was wrong for a couple of people ahead of me and my coffee was given to someone else because they failed to double check the name. I was so late that i walked out having paid for a coffee that I didn't get. Disappointed. read more

Waits here are always terrible on weekends, always understaffed. Need to kill mobile orders when they are busy with foot traffic.

I know Blue Bottle has a loyal following, but it's just not for me--and that's okay. The cafés are always bright, modern, and minimal, but no matter which location I visit, there's a sense of being rushed through the experience. The staff are consistently friendly and efficient, so service isn't the issue--it's the vibe and the flavor profile. The coffee itself leans heavily on the acidic side, with an almost tangy sweetness that doesn't quite balance out. For my taste, the coffee is just a little too sharp and the shop is too fast-paced to be relaxing. read more

Location features an attractive stark white interior. Certain coffees are dripped by hand per cup, pretty neat. High end elegant feel and the drinks are decent. Some seating inside, good place to pass some time if it's not crowded. read more

Blue Bottle has a simple and traditional drink menu with a focus on high quality products. Their coffee is bold and smooth. I especially love the affogato which is an espresso shot over their delicious vanilla bean ice cream. The staff is always friendly and there's an assortment of non-dairy alternatives for drinks. Great place to enjoy your favorite caffeinated beverage with both indoor and outdoor seating in the One Paseo shopping center. Prices are a bit high but not outrageous compared to other artisanal coffee shops. read more

I ordered the Cherry Blossom Latte and it did not disappoint my taste buds. This latte was very balanced, not too sweet and served at the perfect temperature. The barista was very pleasant and made sure I was taken care of when ordering my latte. The vibe is very hip with a minimalist decor. Definitely recommend coming to Blue Bottle. read more

I stopped by Blue Bottle on a hot summer day when I was really craving iced coffee. I got the Nola Shakerato $8 (iced nola, vanilla, chicory, shaken). It satisfied my craving, and was a refreshing drink. I like how the oat milk is the default choice with no additional cost, since a lot of other cafes typically charge more for oat milk. The service was quick and efficient. My order was ready in about ten minutes. I also like how you can browse their coffee beans and merchandise while you are waiting. The store's decor is clean and minimal. The only drawback would be the price because $8 for a small cup is quite a steep cost. read more

One of my favorite places to get an americano. I love it when my americanos are not acidic, and americanos at Blue Bottle are done just right. The interior is high ceiling-ed, aesthetic, and spacious. The music here is always nice and the parking here is always stress-free. I love coming here to decompress from life or to get work done. People here are always so nice! The pastries here are really good here too! And you HAVE to try their new samra latte. Ugh. Blue bottle. You have taken so much of my money, but I will continue to LOL I love this little plaza and I love this coffee shop. So cute inside and out. If you want quality coffee, blue bottle is it. read more

In the One Paseo Plaza lies a coffee shop that brings back the simplistic way of how a cafe should be established. When you enter the doorways, you'll immediately appreciate the very clean environment with pleasing colors and a modern decor. The options for your choice of caffeine are plentiful and will suit any flavor profile of your liking. My server Lexi was the most professional and informative barista I have ever encountered. Not only was she excited to explain each drink choice and their differences, she did it with a youthful exuberance that could brighten anyone's day. Watching each barista behind the counter, you could tell they genuinely enjoyed each other's company by the laughter and smiles they gave each other. I always believed when workers have a good time with each other, the product they provide will be excellent as well; I was not wrong with my coffee drink recommended by Lexi. You have to really want to come here if you want Blue Bottle coffee since it is not close to the I-5 freeway, but if you do find yourself in One Paseo and yearn for a coffee, by all means stop by and enjoy your experience. You will not be disappointed. read more

Hands down one of the most memorable flavored lattes I've ever had. I tied the seasonal cherry blossom latte light on sweetness and it was absolutely heavenly! I'd have one everyday if I lived closer, but since I live so far away, I'll be dreaming. read more

Paid almost $9 (insane) for the Fall Latte, and while the syrup flavor was nice, the espresso tasted burnt with a bitter aftertaste in every sip. I really wanted to love my coffee--especially after driving an hour to get here--but I was so disappointed, ended up tossing it. I also waited about 15 minutes for my drink while the baristas chatted, and for the price, I expected much better. read more

Surprisingly wonderful spot. Not that I wasn't expecting good, but I've seen a few blue bottles before so know they are a chain and wasn't sure what exactly to expect. First of all, super cute, clean and sleek interior! Service was great with a super friendly gal giving us recommendations on what kind of beans to buy. I got the hojicha latte which was absolutely amazing! I'm not a caffeine drinker so this low caf option was absolutely perfect. Drinks can take a bit to be made but they're crafted with love. Also love the default oat milk! read more
