I have been coming to this shopping plaza for over a decade but just discovered this place! I was…read moresurprised by how busy it was on a Thursday around noon. The team was super friendly, personable, patient with our questions, and accommodating of our customization requests. We ordered iced hojicha tea lattes. I got it with oat milk, my spouse got it with half and half. I think it is pretty rare for non-Asian places to have hojicha! It was good! We want to come back and try other items. You stand in line to order at a counter but I think you can also order online. I love how there is an option to order "for here". We got a # to take to our seat and they delivered our drinks to the table directly. And in glass (for cold drinks)! No plastic! Huge differentiator! There was seating inside and outside. Inside felt bustling and jovial. Outside felt a bit more relaxed and less loud. The tables are pretty close together but still nice to have casual conversation. I loved sitting outside! It was relatively shaded and warm. This is a gem! We look forward to returning soon.

Popped into the Good Source Cafe in Escondido while working today. I ordered a classic matcha…read morelatte--they serve theirs with maple syrup, which I tend to prefer over simple syrups or other sweeteners. The matcha itself was pretty good. Not the best I've ever had but definitely solid. It was smooth, well-balanced, and had just the right amount of milk and maple syrup. The shop itself is very lively, especially for 11:00am on Tuesday. Lots of patrons, friends chatting, people working remotely, etc. Layout and aesthetic are simple but effective. It feels open and airy. Staff are very nice and upbeat. Overall, a nice spot for a pick-me-up or to chill.

This place was okay. Wouldn't come back…read more I went on a Saturday afternoon around 1 pm. Plenty of seating available. I ordered the Tiramisu iced latte and the banana matcha. Both drinks were subpar, nothing great. I like my coffee pretty strong and this was not it. The banana matcha didn't really taste like banana. It was okay Service was great. The employees were really sweet and welcoming. Lots of parking available in the plaza

If it weren't for Yelp, I'd have no idea that this place exists. It's nestled towards the back of…read morethe Lexus dealership that also houses Vintana and a couple of other small businesses. They've got just about all you need from a cafe; plenty of coffee drinks, breakfast sandwiches and pastries. The pastries looked a bit dry but it could've just been because they'd been out on display for a bit. The two employees working there didn't have much personality but I can't really blame them. It can't be too exciting working at a cafe in the back of a car dealership. The building has a really nice interior, not very coffee-shop giving but if you appreciate pretty architecture you may like it. The food was decent, can't really go wrong with a bagel sandwich. The bacon could've been a bit crispier but it still tasted good. Coffee was alright, I would've liked it more if I had gotten a different milk, it's my fault knowing that almond milk doesn't make for a good frothy latte milk. Overall there wasn't anything too special about the place, but it certainly wasn't bad. I wouldn't go out of my way for it but I have preferences for everything I had elsewhere. If you do happen to be in the area though, give it a shot!

We can Definitely a cool coffee shop in San Diego. The pastries here are pretty good. I heard they just changed the bagels only made by their sister Co.. I need to give those a try I got the coffee soda basically like an espresso tonic pretty good the glass that it comes i in his super cool and different to most of the places you get coffee at the side of the building is small, but still kind of spacious in a way gives us pretty cool atmosphere. I heard they're gonna do some more upgrades to the inside, making it feel a little more home like that's cool cause I like cozy spots with a manly touch concrete leather metals. It's just a vibe.

I wanted to give this place another shot, I know people love. I was in the area and popped in…read more I ordered a large hot non fat mocha. Which is my standard order. And picked up an almost croissant. They do not shelve non fat milk, but have oat and almond. So I went with oat. Two customers that came after me go thier drinks first. And when mine came up, it was lovely but not right. It was a cold mocha. They remade it. It was just a wee annoying, especially since I was coming here with the hopes of a mind blowing experience. The coffee was fine. The staff seem to know the local regulars and chat them up appropriately. The seating it still hard and uncomfortable. I'll try again one more time to see if hey flip my bippy. So far two stars for they way they interacted with other. One star for the pastry and the coffee mis up and late service was a - of stars. And my picky pastry folks (she knows who she is) would say it's not a true croissant, as there are cuts across the pastry... but it's buttery and flaky..

The employee who helped me came across as grumpy and unfriendly, making me feel like I was inconveniencing them. A simple smile or kind attitude would have made a big difference, especially on a special occasion. It was my first time visiting your place. The coffee itself was good, but customer service is just as important. I hope management encourages staff to provide a more welcoming experience for everyone.

My husband and I visited the San Diego Safari Park for "February Free Seniors Month". We noticed…read moreseveral park eateries were closed for lunch; and the ones open mainly served hot dogs and hamburgers (not what we wanted). So we checked Yelp for the next best thing nearby and found the "Sunny Side Kitchen". I'm not a vegetarian, but my Vegan Panini (with a pickle slice and fresh fruit cup on the side) was wonderful. That freshly baked sourdough bread sandwich was so juicy some avocado squirted out of an air hole in the bread onto my shirt. Luckily water was nearby to quickly wipe away any future stain. Recommendation: Wear a napkin on your shirt. ; ) p.s. It wasn't crowded for a Tuesday lunch; and owner Kate added great conversation and promoted neighboring "Esco Gelatto" as a good place for dessert, but we were too full. We'll save room next time.

If I could give half stars, my overall rating would be 3.5 stars. Based on the high reviews, I…read moreguess I expected more. It's a cute, casual mom and pop breakfast/lunch joint that specializes in paninis and salads. The restaurant is tiny inside. They have a few tables for dining in but they are really close together. I would say it would be best to pick up and to go. You can order at the counter but it seems most people use the QR code on the table to order online. Our paninis were good and I enjoyed the seasoned cheese herb crunch on the sourdough but the food is overpriced. A full panini is $18-23 and comes only with a tiny sample sized cup of fruit. The drinks are $6. The panini also had minimal chicken and filling so most of my bites were of bread. For those prices, I would expect at least a decent side such as a salad or chips. Also the service is minimal where you order online, you bus your own plates, and when asked for water I get a tiny cup for dining in- so asking for tip on top of these prices (over $25 per person) is hard to justify especially in Escondido.
