    The hubby and I got a chance to try a new cafecito spot while in North Park. Chance's Coffee is a really nice coffee spot that is dog friendly. Next time we'll bring our Luna girl along. While visiting we also enjoyed their visiting local vendors. The Egg Cart for their breakfast sandwiches. Also Seker & Spice with some sourdough deliciousness.... What we ordered from Chance'sCoffee: * Chance's Vietnamese Coffee * Chance's Coconut Cloud What we ordered from The Egg Cart: * Coastal Combo * East Coast What we ordered from Seker & Spice Luxe Desserts: * Halal Bacon Roll Everything we had was oh so good..... Our beverages were a perfect balance of flavor. Breakfast sandwiches amazing. Our sourdough roll was pillowy soft. They are all must try businesses. Great customer service & vibes. #DiningWithTheAndersons #TryingNewPlaces #ExploringWithTheHubby #Cafecito #Sourdough

    life is peachy, double pandan latte
    Nina N.

    Super cute cafe and definitely a great study spot! The drinks were pretty decent overall. I got the Double Pandan Latte, but honestly didn't get much pandan flavor from it. The coffee itself was fine, just nothing super memorable. I also tried the Life is Peachy Matcha, but the peach flavor was pretty subtle and the matcha wasn't very strong either. It honestly tasted more like whole milk lol, even though I ordered it with oat milk. Still a cute spot to hang out and study, but I'd probably try something else on the menu next time!

    chance's vietnamese coffee

    Loved the flavor of the vietnamese coffee combined with the ube and pandan foam - you do not have to choose between the two. Prices are a bit steep, it was $8. Seating available both outside and inside as well as a cute photobooth. Service is great - the team member who took my order actually curated the summer menu featuring peach items. They have super cute merch and are very dog friendly - they sell treats and have a water bowl outside the entrance.

    A must try

    Wife wanted to try this place also Adir from The Egg Cart had a pop up. There was also another Pop up bakery there so it was a trifecta of deliciousness. I had there coconut cloud from there not coffee menu. Wife had there Vietnamese Coffee. Both were delicious. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. From the The Egg Cart I had the coastal Combo wife had the East coast. From the Pop up bakery wife got the Cinnamon roll with bacon. Again this was a trifecta of flavor. I highly recommend all three businesses. Love when businesses host other pop up restaurants.

    I came by to try Chance's since we were in the area and I had a just okay drink but my friend loved hers! Black sesame matcha - It tasted like I was mostly drinking black sesame milk with a hint of matcha here and there, I wish the matcha was stronger Coconut water w/ Ube/Pandan Foam - My friend loved this! The foams were delicious and mixed well with the coconut water Overall if I were to come back I would probably get a non-matcha drink or try the double shot to see if anything changes! Service is great and I love the tables they have setup

    I had been wanting to check out Chance's Coffee and I was in dire need of caffeine so I scooped up my Pomeranian Kodi and we drove the 3 miles. It was Sunday and I felt utterly blessed by the Universe when I found parking almost right away. This place is right next to The Lafayette so parking is always so hard to come by so be warned. When I got to Chance's there was a pop up too, I ended up ordering the matcha latte with a pandan syrup and pandan cream. I got Kodi a pup cup and then a pastry, I'm not sure how but my total came out to $20 with tip, so it can definitely get pretty pricey. I waited outside with my Kodi and ordered breakfast sandwiches for myself and my husband who was still asleep. They have plenty of outside and indoor seating and I really like the minimal vibes but it was still welcoming nonetheless. They also had a cute photo booth you can pay to take photos with your pups. When my drink came out, I was so excited. The matcha had a great hue to it and you can definitely taste the pandan that was still respectfulness to the matcha flavor. Kodi also devoured his pup cup. I would come back with a friend, everyone is super friendly and the matcha is great.

    Double matcha

    I loved Chance's Vietnamese coffee! The creamy iced coffee is topped with a dual cold foam, pandan and ube. The two flavors of cold foam flavors are sweet and refreshing then followed by the strong rush of coffee. I really like how balance the coffee itself is. It's not overly sweetened with condensed milk to where that's the strongest flavor. I visited in May during AAPI month and got to order from their seasonal menu. I tried the double jasmine matcha which was absolutely delicious. This perfectly crafted latte was made with ceremonial uji matcha, whole milk, housemade jasmine syrup, and housemade jasmine cream. The floral jasmine flavor intertwined with the lightly earthy matcha. Service was super friendly and drinks are made with precision at the coffee bar. There is a cute Photo Booth and al fresco cafe seating outside too.

    Love chances! I had such a hard time deciding- that I ended up getting 2 breakfast items. Tried the peach matcha but will definitely be back to try the ube and pandan coffees!

    Vietnamese Coffee

    Cute, pup-themed coffee shop right next to the McDonald's on El Cajon Blvd (almost blinked and missed the entrance!) I ordered a Vietnamese coffee, which was strong and not overly sweet (with hints of a chocolatey flavor!) as well as the Avocado Toast and Desperado Bagel. The toast felt a little one note for me (wish the chili oil were spicier) but the contrast of the chili/scallion/cream cheese on the bagel was perfect. Would order the bagel again. Service is great, ample seating options and a cute little Photo Booth outside!

    chance's viet coffee, black sesame matcha
    Ashlee L.

    Came here on a Tuesday morning, and it was pretty calm! Such an adorable minimalistic coffee shop that's dog themed! They have both inside and outside seating, but not too many tables. They have wifi though if you're trying to get work done! I tried the chance's viet coffee and thought it was really good. I LOVED the ube and pandan cold foam and thought it was so unique because I've never seen that combo anywhere else. Not to mention how beautiful the drink was! The coffee itself was soo yummy too, but pretty sweet and VERY strong like typical vietnamese coffee. The matcha was just okay though. We tried the black sesame matcha, and I thought the matcha flavor could definitely be stronger. Overall, a solid spot to get your morning caffeine fix! They also have an adorable photobooth!!

    pho spiced matcha latte, black sesame matcha latte
    Cecilia Y.

    Got Chance's per a friend's recommendation! She really likes their double pandan matcha latte but I opted for the Pho Spiced Matcha Latte. They have a lot of unique seasonal drinks besides their normal menu. The pho spiced matcha was aromatic and sweet but the matcha could be stronger. The space is really cute inside and they're pup friendly. The photobooth in the back space adds a cute extra touch. They also host community events and pop-ups which I love. It'd be nice to attend if I were in the area.

    Coffee time

    I wanted to come here for a couple of weeks now but today was the day that was most convenient. I was greeted and all my questions were answered so I ordered a Pho cold brew with pho syrup for me and a chances Vietnamese coffee for my wife she likes her drinks a lil sweeter then mine I also grabbed a Cinnamon bun. The coffee was exactly what it said it was it was cold brew with pho notes in it and was quite refreshing my wife enjoyed her coffee she let me sip some it was good and had a great sweetness. The cinnamon bun was cool it was sweet and soft but not really my bag. Great experice parking is not great but doable.

The worker gave them to me with a smile on her face and it was so inviting I felt very welcomed. Value: Both of these lattes were $7 each which is standard for what I would pay for this high quality experience/drink. So definitely worth it! Atmosphere: Very aesthetic, welcoming, simple environment. With hints of their Vietnamese culture! Overall experience: My favorite part about Saigon Coffee was that after I read the owners origin story (which is written by the pick up counter) the humbly welcoming and high quality experience I had all made sense. Saigon, my props to you for demonstrating even through your employees your main philosophy of humble gratitude. Thank you

I got their seasonal drink, the lucid dream, per the barista's recommendation. I do NOT recommend this drink. Unless you like mediciney, licorice taste. It was advertised as a rootbeer esque drink, and I love root beer, but the star anise and wintergreen just completely overpowered the drink and left a very sour aftertaste. The drink was very silky at first, but that's about all it had going for it. I even went home and tried to modify it by adding cold brew, cream and honey and even sea salt to cut the flavor away, but the medicinal herbal flavors were just too strong. This one was a miss, the drink alone was a 1 star. But i tried my friend's drink and it wasn't bad, so maybe I'd try a more normal drink or the cherry almond soda drink and see how it is.
