    We had just finished brunch nearby and decided to stop here for coffee while walking along the harbor. The café was cute, and the World Cup décor was a nice touch. Unfortunately, the service completely overshadowed everything else. When my two friends and I walked in, there were no other customers, yet neither employee acknowledged or greeted us. They seemed far more interested in talking to each other than helping customers. My friend ordered one of the specialty coffees, but when it was handed out, it looked nothing like the menu photo. When she politely asked if it was the Brazil-themed coffee she ordered, the barista responded with a curt "Yeah," rolled her eyes, and gave her a look that was completely uncalled for. The coffee itself was just as disappointing as the service especially for nearly $10. After one sip, my friend left it on the table, and we walked out. I can overlook a bad cup of coffee, but poor hospitality is much harder to ignore. A simple greeting and basic kindness go a long way. Sadly, this experience left us disappointed, and I wouldn't return.

    Found this cafe on IG, located in Little Italy. Decided on giving this place a try with my hubby. We were lucky and found street parking. Such a cute little spot. We were greeted right away. Staff was very friendly. What we ordered: * Turkey Egg, & Cheese Croissant - Shared * Banana Pie Latte - Me * Peach Matcha - Hubby Everything we had was very tasty. Especially the breakfast sandwich. The croissant was so buttery & flaky. My beverage was nice. However, I was a little bummed that it didn't look like the pictures on IG. I look forward to visiting again to try some other menu items.

    Very New York appeal. In my opinion.

    This place is a hidden gem among the many spots in Little Italy. Another IG find the service was great very friendly. Wife and I got our his and hers as I love trying the different variety of matcha options, she likes the Banana lattes. She was disappointed it was not like the picture on IG. Food we tried there turkey and egg croissant. Light and fluffy very tasty even with a dab of Mike's Mayo. The vibe was amazing downtown coffee shop feel with seating inside and out. They have a World cup drink menu as well as Summer menu. Definitely want to return and try a few that caught my eye. I am also very eager to come try there omelettes that looked so tasty . So I recommend this place for on the go or popping in before a flight.

    After an underwhelming coffee experience at Little Italy, I decided to walk a bit farther and discovered this charming, tiny cafe that offers a variety of coffee, teas, and paninis. Vibe: The decor is minimalist, but given the small space, they have a lot to offer. It's clean, cozy, and features limited indoor and outdoor seating. Service: The staff is polite and quick. By the time I arrived, the cafe was starting to get busy, but that didn't affect the service at all. Sips: They serve regular lattes as well as Turkish coffee and cold brew. I enjoyed a hot toffee latte, while my husband ordered a pistachio latte. The coffee was perfectly hot, and the first thing I noticed was the large portion size; their cups are bigger than standard, and the prices are very reasonable for that amount. My toffee latte had delicious toffee syrup that didn't taste artificial or overly sweet. My husband's pistachio latte didn't contain actual pistachios, but the syrup tasted surprisingly good, much better than some of the artificial nut syrups I've tried elsewhere. This cafe feels pleasantly low-key. Considering how good it is, it's definitely a hidden gem!

    A cute coffee shop with many themed options! Super friendly barista and quick service. A solid choice if you're walking through Little Italy

    To go meal! So kind

    What a great cafe. While I haven't been physically there, we ordered delivery from them for lunch on a friends wedding day while we were getting ready in her hotel. They included sweet notes wishing her a good day as well as a free pistachio muffin that was incredible!!!! The Cobb salad with ranch was great, and everyone enjoyed their food as well. Little things like sweet notes and a free treat are so appreciated, lovely, and reflect a great staff. Definitely makes me want to come back & support this place even more!

    I work nearby and intentionally choose to support local businesses over chains like Starbucks. However, my recent experiences make that hard to justify. Today, I spent $15+ on a drink and a bagel that was rock solid. The staff cut the bagel in half, so they must have felt it was stale but served it anyway. The drink was great! This follows several sandwiches that were 80% bread, 20% toppings and generally lacked freshness so I stopped buying them. I want to continue supporting local, but at a $15 price point, the quality needs to be reliable. When a staff member serves something they know isn't fresh, it undermines the trust I have in your shop.

    The Delicious Pastries

    Did I just stumble upon a delicious cafe WITH wonderful customer service? That's become such a rarity these days, it's heartbreaking. I've passed by this place many times and always thought, one day I's try this cute place and today was the day. It's a quaint charming coffee shop with minimal indoor and outdoor seating but an absolutely plentiful menu. Immediately after walking in, I was greeted so warmly by the woman at the register who was more than happy to help when I asked her whether to order one drink over the other. I ended up getting the salted caramel macchiato and the chocolate croissant and I have no regrets. Everything was flavorful and high quality. There's this notion in my culture that when you're in good spirits, whatever you cook turns out delicious, and I think that's the vibe here. The staff all seemed not only cheerful but on good terms with each other, and it makes the ambience so much better. Will definitely be returning here whenever I need a break from homemade lattes.

    Acai Bowl 16 oz

    The açaí bowl is drowning in honey, I can't taste anything else. They should have put it on the side or not at all. Tastes like I'm drinking straight from a honey jar. Yuck. It's too sweet I can't finish it. Also their vanilla chai latte does not taste good. Tastes like a watered down powder.

    Cute and quick little place for coffee and breakfast before heading out for the day. Breakfast was simple but good. Sweet girls working the front.

    I really want to like this place since I live a few blocks away but my first two experiences here have not been the best. firstly the sandwiches are ok the bread is too thick and it can make the sandwiches really dry. on my second visit today i ordered an acai bowl and it was legit 75 percent sherbet and 25 percent everything else. if you're going to charge little italy prices at least make it worth it. just disappointing overall. I hope the owner reads this and makes slight changes

    **July 2026: Sunday Afternoon Visit**…read more After an amazing (but exhausting) weekend at San Diego Comic-Con, my body was seriously craving something refreshing and nutritious. I had walked past Vitality Tap several times since it's conveniently located near my hotel, and on my last day I finally decided to stop in and I'm so glad I did. The space is a cool mix of a vitamin/supplement shop and a health focused drink and café spot. For a Sunday afternoon, it was surprisingly busy, with staff hustling to make drinks and açaí bowls. Despite the crowd, everything looked well-organized, and all the customers seemed genuinely happy with their orders. I ordered "The Dragon," which had pitaya, coconut water, pineapple, and strawberries. It was incredibly refreshing, which was exactly what I needed after hours of walking in the heat. Light, hydrating, and flavorful without being overly sweet. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area to try their açaí bowls and juices. Great spot for a post adventure reset.

I ordered the Classic without agave since I prefer my açaí on the less sweet side. The fresh mango, blueberries, and coconut flakes complemented it perfectly, creating a delicious balance of flavors.

Two days later they did and she remembered them, but proceeded to charge them again! They were stunned. Then she said well I'm not going to give you free smoothies! But they reminded her that they were there because they had run out of ingredients for the first smoothies that tasted watery, she turned and just pointed to a sign that said "all sales are final". Are you kidding me? When they asked to speak with the owner she said they could only email him. This is nuts and hard to believe that they have zero Customer Service. She is lucky it was not me that this happened to. I would've tied her braids around the smoothie machine! If they were running out of ingredients for that particular smoothie, she should have offered something else, but she just went ahead and used only what she had left, which sounds like it was mostly water! This owner will get an email and the word will spread. They will be getting several reviews and they won't be good ones! Stay away from this place!

I placed an order ahead of time and showed up about 25 minutes later thinking it would be ready. When I checked in, a younger employee told me it would be another 10 minutes. Annoying, but okay. The parking situation around here is already a nightmare, so I really wasn't thrilled about having to stand around waiting even longer. Well, those 10 minutes turned into 25. During that time, I watched multiple people walk in, place orders after I had already checked in, and receive their food before me. The crazy part? It wasn't even busy. There was no line out the door, no rush, no obvious reason for such a ridiculous delay. After waiting long enough, I finally went up to an older gentleman working there (I'm assuming the owner) and politely explained that I had been waiting a very long time and was confused why people ordering after me were getting their food first. Instead of apologizing or even acknowledging the mistake, he was rude, dismissive, and acted like I was inconveniencing him for asking about an order that should have been ready ages ago. Then, after another 10 minutes, my bowls were finally ready. In total, I waited about 35 minutes after checking in for pickup. To top it all off, the older gentleman practically shoved the bowls at me without so much as a "sorry for the wait." Look, delays happen. Mistakes happen. What bothered me was the complete lack of communication, accountability, and basic customer service. If you're running behind, just be honest about it. Don't tell someone 10 minutes when it's really going to be over half an hour. The açaí is good, but not nearly good enough to make up for being treated like an annoyance. There are plenty of other places in San Diego serving great bowls without the attitude.
