Erica (spelled correctly btw) crushed it with a "Maui" latte... just ask... it's fire! Great service, vibes and overall experience! read more

The coffee was delicious. The service was friendly. Very cute and cozy little coffee hut. I would definitely come back again.

Amazing people, they are always so kind. They're coffee has been so consistent since my last review where it would be over sweetened or under sweetened, and the consistency is literally KEY and even though they're expensive they can be better then Starbucks at times. read more

Was in Alpine and needed some fuel. Decided to try Caffe Adesso and I couldn't recommend more! The staff were respectful and service was quick. And of course the coffee was also amazing! read more

Best , most convenient coffee shop! The iced raspberry white mocha latte is my FAV! Extra ice! Thank you guys for being so amazing!

A must visit when in alpine. It's a little shop but they are always busy. They have drive up or walk up options. It's in the shell parking lot. I love all their seasonal drinks. They have treats for your furry friends as well. Never has a drink I didn't like there. I visit at least once a week. That's how good they are. read more

We were eating lunch in Point Loma when my wife said, "Let's get dessert at Caffé Adesso in Aloine! It's Joe Musgrove's mom's drive-through coffee shop!" What could I say except, "Hell yass!" And off we went up Rosecrans and east on the 8. We really annoyed the hit and cold Almond Roca Mocha . Blueberry scone and cheese danish. Mostly, we enjoyed the "Dodgers Trash" cup! Let's go, Joe!

Caffe' Adesso - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alpine, California

This place is awesome! There is a great variety of coffee, teas and snacks that are all good and well priced. The staff are great!

Cute lil drive thru. Got the iced Mexican espresso!! Super tasty. The chocolate had the perfect touch and I downed the drink immediately. Woman who took my order was friendly, double checked that my order was right and served me promptly!! Next time I'm in the alpine area I would love to come back and try different drinks! read more

I was in the neck of the woods in Alpine, CA, when a serious mocha craving hit..specifically one made with chocolate malt. That's when I stumbled across this little hidden gem, Caffè Adesso. It's a tiny spot with quirky coffee names that I actually found pretty unique. The mocha I tried was bold, rich, and absolutely amazing. Honestly, Starbucks and the rest don't even come close. If you're in the area, I highly recommend giving this place a try--you won't be disappointed! Excellent and very attentive customer service. read more

I absolutely love this place! They're always so sweet and give me the perfect drink. My sister in law said it was the best Americano she's ever had. I get their white chocolate mocha Frappuccino with caramel drizzle and I LITERALLY finish every last drop. And their prices are reasonable! One of the baristas has memorized my car so well she'll walk out and ask "the usual?" It's a little hut next to a shell gas station. I'm boycotting the other popular brand and it's good that I am because Adesso has taught me that coffee DOES taste good, and because of it - a person who really hates coffee has now become a coffee addict read more

My in-laws live right up the street and out of the 21 days we were on vacation... we probably went 17 mornings for coffee. It was SOO GOOD. The line can get pretty long in the morning, but let me tell you, it's worth the wait! They had their Christmas menu and the Egg nog latte and pumpkin chai were amazing. I also got a Mexican mocha and Honey Latte. I got all my drinks with Almond milk, HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

The folks working at Adesso are such a treasure! The snacks are delicious and the coffee is top tier. We love the location and the crowd!

Service was great Ordered Egg Nog Latte , Chocolate milano latter and two Caramel Frappuccino A+ read more

My husband and I have been wanting to try Caffe Adesso ever since Mud mentioned it on a broadcast before a Padres game and I am so glad we did. The drive thru line was understandably long but it moved fairly quickly. I got an iced peppermint almond mocha and my husband got the Christmas cold brew and we also grabbed a couple wrapped croissants. Our dogs were in the car with us and when we got our drinks and food they offered our girls treats. They also informed us that the car behind us paid for our drinks (not sure how that happened but we were happy!) Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Caffe Adesso and will be back to try their regular drinks soon! read more

Love, love, love the caramel frappé and the caramel macchiato here! The convenience of the drive-through makes it even better. I tried their lemon loaf, and it was yummy and moist. There's usually a long line, but it moves pretty fast, so it's definitely worth the wait. read more

There coffee was really good and the location is perfect very close to the highway we always have it on our road trips

I love this place .. Can't wait to try the candy cane latte ! Or the iced peppermint mocha read more

Caffe' Adesso - New Christmas flavors are out! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alpine, California

The coffee was truly legit. I expect very little from these smaller shops and was super happy with the coffee here. Spoke with someone familiar with the spot a couple days later and they too raved about the quality of coffee. Picked up a muffin as well and it was tasty. Service was quick and the ladies running the shop were helpful and very kind too! read more

The staff are very friendly, and even when they have a long line, they get everyone through quickly. The drinks were wonderful, and I loved the chai. My kids had hot chocolate, but I didn't tell her to change anything about them, but she saw my littles in the back seat, and automatically made them "kid temp". I appreciate them anticipating needs! Thank you! read more

Coffee, staff, vibes - all UNREAL! Simple as that. Everyone is kind, the drinks are top notch!

Stopped by after shopping in Alpine and ordered a cherry crush latte. Wait was under 2 minutes, server was kind and patiently answered my questions. My latte was perfectly hot and delicious. Next time I'll order the "44" - the Joe Musgrove special! read more

Caffe' Adesso - Raspberry white mocha - half sweetness. So good! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alpine, California

So the search was on to find the coffee establishment in Alpine. Not going to lie. We could of gone to any coffee shop closer to home and got decent coffee but this coffee place is particularly special. It's owned by the family of San Diego's own Padre pitcher Joe Musgrove. At the time, the Padres team were about to play the third game in a best three out of five series against our dreaded rivals L.A. Dodgers. The series was tied 1 to 1. My family decided it would be good karma to get some coffee here. So driving out to Alpine. We reached the small wooden built drive thru coffee house. Something similar to a nice wooden shed. It's a drive thru establishment but there is also a walk up window to order. We decided to get out of the car and order from the walk up window. The menu had a nice variety of hot and cold coffee drinks. A menu that rivals any other good coffee house. They also had nice assortment of baked goods. At the time there were two nice young ladies taking orders. Overall, a solid choice for coffee type drinks and baked goods. A way better choice than your typical Starbucks. The drinks are exceptional and the baked goods that we ordered were delicious. Support local businesses especially the good ones. Cafe Adesso is great. Drive up and get your coffee here. read more

The coffee is amazing and good service as well! We stop by on our way to AZ every time we visit family.

We haven't had a mix up with our drinks since our last review! We appreciate the mindfulness and understanding about the importance of knowing what you're handing the customer. read more

Love this coffee shop! I always get their chai tea latte. Yum! I love that they have a drive-through and if they have a line, don't expect it to go fast. read more

I got a gift card for this coffee stand about 2 years ago and finally managed to go. I ordered off their seasonal/special menu in the drive through. I got their coconut Frappuccino and it was perfect for a hot day! Tasted great too and service was quick. Will be coming back to see what other seasonal items they have later in the year. read more

I came to get a cup of coffee. The line for the drive-through was about 15 cars. So I decided to park my car and go to the walk up window. They said that the walk up window was closed. That doesn't make sense. read more

Cute little coffee shop on the way to descanso very good coffeehouse. Will definitely recommend

A delicious cup of coffee off the 8 Freeway in the lovely Alpine area. Be prepared that you will have to wait as the employees are very friendly and enjoy themselves, but that often means they won't move with any real expediency to make your order. Still its an amazing cup of coffee that comes in all kinds of flavors and tastes ranging from excellent simple cold brew to sweet mexican mochas. If you need a caffeine break on the 8 freeway there are few better options that Caffe Adesso. read more

Yummy coffee! Stumbled on this little Cafe as we were passing through the area. Glad we tried it! read more

The spicy chai latte was absolutely delicious. Id also recommend adding an espressso shot or two to it to balance out the sweetness. Must stop trip if you're driving past this place! read more

I stopped off during my drive to get gas and there was this cute little shack that was serving coffee. Now we all know that those little shacks are all the new rage, coffee to go and you never really know what you're going to get. I had a dirty chai and I had to go and find it on Yelp so I could book market to make this a permanent part of my drive. It's a combination of how friendly and cheerful and helpful the girl was that was working there alongside very lovely dirty chai latte was a breath of fresh air after driving for eight hours. If there was coffee shack awards, I would nominate this little place... Better quality at a better price than any Starbucks could do read more

This place is amazing. I live 40 mins away and to be honest is now my favorite place! My wife and I went and I got a Carmel Frap with extra Carmel and my wife got a #44. Way better than any place I've been to!!! Support local families and the local no-no joe!!!!! SD for life! read more

Stopped by today for the first time I think this is going to be my go to coffee spot moving forward. Ordered a caramel macchiato it was soo delicious the best I've had yet and their pastry was so good my kids were all fighting me over it.

Update lol I actually changed my mind.. I wouldn't rather go to Starbucks because Adesso's coffee is so good.. and Starbucks tastes like butt water.. I just can't understand why they usually have 3 people working and only one person doing anything.. read more

Best service, love supporting small town businesses! Very convenient and great selection A+

I stopped by on a road trip. The coffee was great and the service was just as good, thanks
