    Coffee Cycle is excellent. I will start by saying that I'm not a coffee drinker. But my husband is. Because of this, we've gone from shop to shop across San Diego in search of the best beans. He definitely has his list of favorites and after trying Coffee Cycle, he said that it tops his list! They have so many great varietals and he especially loves that the beans are provided in tins instead of bags which makes them much easier to scoop. Although I'm not a coffee drinker, I love a matcha and know a good one when I taste it! This matcha is soo good! No sugary mix or cheap baking quality. Their matcha is really good. You can tell by the color alone. They clearly take pride in the drinks they serve and this spot has a lot of space to enjoy a drink (with your bike in tow!)

    Such a cute spot! Quite possibly my favorite coffee spot in OB. The baristas are super friendly, they have indoor and outdoor seating, good music, tasty coffee & matcha (it's legit).. I've tried their empanadas and breakfast sandwich and those were both good too.

    Coffee Cycle is a fantastic local small business in SD! This is their second location, with their first being in PB. I absolutely love Coffee Cycle! They have fantastic coffee that they ethically sourced from small farmers. They also make their own syrups and non dairy milks, and offer delicious empanadas! This space is about 4x larger than their PB location, with lots of seating options. It's a great place to work from! Lastly, the owner Chris is just the nicest person. I feel great supporting such a wonderful small business.

    Coffee Cycle makes extremely good coffee and takes all the steps in being a batista serious, but with a chill, beach attitude. I have already reviewed their amazing coffee at their PB location, but the new OB location includes very yummy sandwiches, sodas, and empanadas. Please go here and try! If unsure, get their latte or flat white.

    Yesterday, I stopped by Coffee Cycle (4856 Voltaire between Cable and Sunset Cliffs Blvd) for the first time, and it was an experience that completely exceeded my expectations. My opinion, many coffee shops can feel a bit unwelcoming on a first visit, with a "too cool for school" vibe, but Coffee Cycle was refreshingly the opposite. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. It also helped that the shop was playing Wu-Tang, and Jordan, the friendly barista behind the counter, greeted me right away with a smile and exceptional service. I was in the mood to try a late breakfast (at 1:30 PM ), and Jordan recommended "OB's Best Breakfast Sandwich," a new creation by Chris, the owner. This sandwich was next-level deliciousness and made with thick, local sourdough bread, smoked pork belly, chipotle sauce, pepper jack cheese, and a perfectly cooked egg. Every bite was a blend of bold, rich flavors and left me completely satisfied. This sandwich is super legit!! Highly recommend. It left me already looking forward to my next return visit. Then for mental energy, I paired the sandwich with a honey cinnamon iced latte. This drink was made with cinnamon, local raw honey, housemade cashew, macadamia milk, and espresso. It was smooth, lightly sweet, and energizing. It complemented the sandwich well. The extra welcoming vibe came from Jordan, who after I put in my order then took the time to share the history of Coffee Cycle, how it got started and explained how they source all their beans from around the world, and roast them right there in the shop. Her passion for the craft was contagious actually making me want to learn more about the process behind the coffee, which made the experience feel personal and unique. Now I can't wait to go back and explore more of the menu and also hangout to do a little work in their large open space. If you haven't stopped by yet, I highly recommend checking out this spot as it's the perfect fit for OB.

    Great coffee and very kind baristas. The place was cozy. I got the vanilla bean latte and a mocha with almond milk. They make their own syrups. So good!

My name was spelled properly, a short conversation reassured my dessert choice, and as I walked up to retrieve my dessert, the lady met me halfway with a smile (thank you for wrapping so it didn't fall over). The smallest of gestures and niceties are what make leaving the house worth it. GIANDUIA. This cake is nothing you can be prepared for, yet everything you need without setting expectations. The boysenberry was the perfect separation for the waves of chocolate and the subtle crunch of the hazelnut toffee type of layer on the very top. The chocolate mousse was the exact mouth feel needed to separate the rich layers of chocolate cake. I saw, I conquered, and I was yet again impressed by what Extraordinary Desserts so purposefully and gracefully offered. Thank you for healing a bit of my soul I didn't realize was waiting to be healed.

Also just so everyone is aware they're also liars just to mention & stupid.. she tells us her name is Karen thinking we don't know the owners name lol .. She was at the register at 7:20pm and was extremely rude and dismissive after we placed our order, especially regarding a child's dietary restrictions and health concerns. We politely asked if it would be possible to purchase a small cup of fruit , even just a couple strawberries cut up, because one child in our group cannot have sweets due to very strict dietary restrictions . Instead of simply saying they were unable to accommodate the request or offering another option, we were told to "go somewhere else," despite already spending the amount we did . The complete lack of professionalism and basic customer service was honestly shocking. It's disappointing to be treated that way at a place we have supported so consistently. This place has been going downhill , management for this place needs to step up .

One would think that, in such dark times, one could still find even a glimpse of hope in an ice cream cone. I was proven wrong, and my outlook on the current state of affairs only dimmed further. I ate my ice cream in two bites. Twenty dollars for two cones, four bites total. I didn't even bother feeding my son the pup cup. He deserves better. The world deserves better. Bigger portions. Bigger smiles. Makes perfect sense, in my humble opinion. I suppose your employees do not agree.

You start with the base flavor (already impossible to choose because every option sounds like it was handcrafted by a happy fruit), then you get to customize it with toppings like you're a dessert scientist. Chocolate drizzle? Yes. Crunchy toppings? Obviously. Something unexpected that makes you feel bold and adventurous? Absolutely. The service deserves its own round of applause. The staff is genuinely excited about your popsicle journey and treats every order like it's the most important frozen masterpiece they've ever made. No rushing, no judgment for taking way too long to decide--just good vibes and friendly smiles. And the atmosphere?? Peak Little Italy charm. Colorful, lively, and buzzing with people who are clearly having the best dessert moment of their day. It's the kind of place where you take one bite and immediately start planning who you're bringing back with you next time. In conclusion: come hungry, leave sticky, happy, and emotionally attached to your popsicle. This spot is proof that joy can, in fact, be frozen on a stick.

Parking can be tricky downtown, and it can get busy with lines, but it's totally worth it for the drinks, desserts, and overall ambiance. FYI, they have a new location up north in Scrips Poway, it's cute but slightly different aesthetic (umm more industrial) and is in a strip mall, so, way more parking!
