    Brew Coffee Spot was sooo busy when I went, so happy for them! There were tons of people working or getting together for a little morning ritual. I had the maple latte which was super yumm. I also got avocado toast. The avocado toast was pretty basic, but still good. Good to note if you want to use the wifi, you have to make a purchase and get a receipt code. The code is only valid for two hours!

    Great coffee and atmosphere! It's very big and spacious with a lot of indoor seating as well as patio seating. The menu isn't too overwhelming but they have great food and drink selections. I got the apple chai iced latte and my friend got the morning maple. Both were very flavorful and not over powering. We got the cinnamon apple roll and the blackberry turnover. The 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month they have a market in the parking lot. They seem to host a lot of community events. Would definitely come back!

    I love a freshly brewed tea, but having loose leaves in it is not enjoyable. I ordered the chamomile tea and on my first sip ended up with residue in my mouth. You should not have to worry about leaves floating around when drinking tea, and I have never been served tea like this before. That said, the area itself is nice and a good place to get some work done if needed. They do have WiFi. Most people come to sit and chat, so if you do not work well in a busy environment, I would not recommend it. They also have a nice outdoor seating area.

    In the past I thought everything was great but a little slow. That isn't a problem now. They continue to have a big menu of sandwiches and pannnis ( try the caprese). Lots of scones, croissants, muffins. I love the ficelle, crusty baguettes with butter and brie. Good parking lot. Nice people. Games available.

    Food: Besides the countries of coffee & teas to choose. there's customizable options. Enticing pastries, my Jalapeño Cheddar Bagel was delectable & perfectly toasted (xtra dark)! Their extensive menu includes paninis, turkey & ham sandwiches. Plenty of sweets like Cinnamon Rolls, selective gluten-free muffins to start. Service: Chris was polite, confidently answered questions very helpful. Ambience: Love the ample interior dining areas only matched by cozy airy patio. that welcomes breezes.

    Vietnamese Iced Coffee

    I decided to come here today to get some work done. When you walk in, the right side of the seating area has tables with outlets, which is really helpful if you're planning to stay for a while. The rest of the space has a mix of high-top bar seating and larger tables that can fit up to six people. There's also a more comfortable lounge area with a coffee table and couch seating, plus additional patio seating outside. With a purchase, you're able to access their WiFi, but logging in was a little inconvenient. You have to enter your order number and the exact dollar amount of your purchase. I ordered through the kiosk near the pickup area and declined the receipt, so I had to go back and figure out those details before I could log in.There's a two-hour WiFi limit, which feels reasonable since this place fills up quickly. By around 8:30, all the outlet-accessible seating was taken, so I'd recommend coming earlier if you need a spot with power, or making sure your device is fully charged beforehand. After looking through the menu, I ordered a Vietnamese coffee and the Bitchin' Avocado Toast. My order was ready pretty quickly. Vietnamese Iced Coffee- ($6) Description from the menu: 4 shots of Espresso with sweetened condensed milk over ice The flavor profile here falls into a strange middle ground: not quite a latte, but certainly not a Vietnamese iced coffee. The 'mark' was missed on the texture; a proper Viet coffee relies on a long extraction to pull those essential oils from the beans, creating a distinctively bold, syrupy body. This version was too thin and lacked the rich, condensed-milk creaminess that balances the bitterness of the roast. It's a decent semi-sweet coffee. Props for trying though. Bitchin' Avocado Toast ($10.40) Menu description: Avocado, Bitchin' sauce, sliced hardboiled egg, salt and pepper, and brew seasoning on rosemary bread. I dined in, and the avocado toast was served on a plate, which made it feel more cozy and intentional. I grabbed a packet of Tapatio from the condiments bar near pickup to go with it. Portion-wise, it felt fair for the price, especially compared to other café spots. You can't really mess up avocado toast. My only critique is that the avocado didn't have that fresh-cut taste. It felt more like a pre-prepped mash or spread, instead of freshly sliced or smashed in-house. It was missing that brighter flavor and texture. The chipotle-style sauce on top helped a lot, though. It added a nice punch of spice and made the overall bite more interesting. The rosemary bread held up well at first, but by the second half, it started getting messy with all the toppings. Not bad, just harder to eat cleanly. Ambiance and service I didn't interact much with staff since I ordered through the kiosk. By around 9:00, the shop was full, leaving patio seating to be the only open seating. There was music playing overhead, but it wasn't too loud and didn't distract from working. Overall, I could see myself coming back here to get work done or meet up with friends. The space itself makes it easy to stay for a while.

    Iced cinnamon honey latte with almond milk

    Amazing space for a work meeting. Delicious lattes and helpful and friendly staff. Huge coffee shop with a great outdoor space!

    Morning  Maple Latte
    Pedro G.

    Ordered myself a coffee to go after a hike, restaurant is small and cozy, very welcoming and busy, customer service was great. Got myself a Morning Maple Latte iced, so delicious, definitely coming back for more.

    I met my cousin for coffee on a Saturday afternoon. She chose Brew Coffee Spot. It was my second visit to this coffee shop, but the first time was a quick takeout visit over two years ago. We were both hungry so we took some time to look over the coffee and food menu. Really, it was much more extensive than I thought it would be. It would have been so hard to decide, but I was excited to find that they already had pumpkin spice lattes on the menu. For food, we decided to split the turkey pesto panini. It came with chips, but they were able to give us an option of a side salad. They were great about splitting the sandwich and salad on separate plates so we could share. When our food and drinks came out, it was nice to see they were on real plates and in real cups with real silverware. Not too many coffee shops do that these days. The sandwich was good and salad was fresh. I enjoyed the latte, though it wasn't the best pumpkin spice I ever had. I ordered it iced and it wasn't quite as cold as I would have liked. They have a large seating area with both indoor and outdoor seating. They sell a lot of cute cups and coffee accessories. All in all, it was a great experience. I work nearby and would definitely return for breakfast or lunch.

    Brew Coffee has one of my favorite cafe drinks: the Golden Turmeric Latte. It's warm, has a yummy gingery taste, and contains all kinds of healthy goodness. There is a lot of space at Brew Coffee, too, which makes for great coffee dates around La Mesa. If you like farmers markets, you can time your coffee date right so it coincides with a little community market that pops up monthly. Community is definitely a consideration here, where the service is equally as cheery as the customers.

    Board games , a good pastry and cold brew
    Dulce R.

    Espresso? Yes please! Walked into a cozy , chill space with instant aroma of wonderfulness that is coffee. Ordered an iced Viennese and hot mocha with 2 pastries. Everything was wonderful. I regret not having gotten the large version. There is an array of choices of coffee drinks, a small but good variety of pastries and also stacks of games to choose from (located by restrooms). Cashier was ready to give recommendation if needed. Was able to snag a prime spot on the couch and Battleship. Everything was super clean (including restrooms) (we always like a clean restroom!). Will make sure to snag a bag of coffee beans next time.

    Breakfast burrito to go - Dec 2024
    Candace C.

    A favorite local spot for us. Go to food item: breakfast burrito Also love their beans here that we brew at home. Indoor and outdoor seating, community markets every month and they offer dog treats and all the staff are kind and attentive.

    Bitchin' avocado toast
    Joyce L.

    Very cute space, with plenty of seating for a coffee shop! Huge plus. I, unfortunately, feel like I made a bad order. Got the pumpkin spiced chai, which was incredibly sweet. I ended up pouring a third of my husband's cold brew into my latte to dilute it. The bitchin' avocado toast was underwhelming. My husband ordered the panini, which was good! So I recommend their paninis over their toasts.

    The coffee was very good and you get a lot of drink for the amount you pay. Pretty affordable and the food is pretty good.

I've made…read morethe mistake of falling into the seemingly inescapable web of corporate cowork (Regus...who I can't recommend against more highly, no matter what your needs are). I've worked in a beautiful, super-boujee creative spaces run by artists who ensured there were always fresh kegs of IPA, kombucha, and cold brew on tap. And I've worked out of multiple other types of spaces in between. This is what I can say about NEST: I've never felt as welcomed, and cared for, by an owner as I have here. Darin is truly amazing. He truly cares about his tenants and takes an interest in their businesses. Even though he has a million things going on in his own (multiple) businesses, he makes time whenever it's asked. It may not be the optimal place for everyone. You won't find air hockey tables in the common space or hard Yerba mate on tap. The huge common spaces with rows of desks and rooms of content creators wearing Air Pod Pros and sipping incessantly from their huge Stanley cups aren't here. And the decorating is more cozy and creative than modern and chic. But, if you're looking for a place with responsive ownership who cares, will respond to personal text messages, and wants to do their best to meet your particular needs, check out NEST. The rates are reasonable, the location is great, and you won't find a place more welcoming.
