    Iced Horchata Latte
    Jen S.

    Such a great spot in/near the Gaslamp district. They have the best horchatas in the area. The burrito is delicious as well. Wish we were able to come by more often!

    Today, we walked in and noticed that empty tables were not bussed. I ordered an açaí bowl with the honey and granola on the side. I liked that the meal was clean and healthy. I also liked that there was free WiFi for me to work and enjoy my meal. My partner stated that his coffee was good quality so I'm giving this 4 stars.

    Iced Aloha Latte
    Daisy M.

    I went today & had the ice Aloha latte. It was delicious. The only thing I wish it had a little more ice since it tasted warm than cold. I will definitely return & ask for a little more ice next time. Also, it's very clean and pretty inside & outside. All lot of places to sit as well. The service was good as well, didn't get rushed to order.

    Good spot to get food and a drink for those working in the area. There is plenty of seating, and the ac is turned up. I got a chicken sandwich with red peppers, red onions (raw), hold the tomatoes, and goat cheese on toasted sour dough. The sandwich came out and it was half off the bread, so a fork was retrieved to assist. The chicken was shredded, and I think poached first. A tasty but messy lunch.

    Cucumber Avocado Toast, closeup

    The rose honey latte and ambiance were good, the cucumber avocado toast was so comically bad I'm writing a review. Underripe, plasticine slices of avocado sitting between bread and cucumber slices. Inedible and horrible to the point of being funny, but also $13 that could still be in my bank account. Effervescent. Don't get this. Also to clarify: the barista was very nice and all the drinks we got were good, and she let me replace the dish with a chocolate croissant.

    Iced Pistachio Honey Latte
    Ellie N.

    I been going here since I moved. I live the ice pistachio honey latte! It has bits of the pistachio sugar on the bottom, I don't even khow they make it, but the bottom of it is my favorite part. The service is really good, the staff is nice and takes the time to get to know you. One of the gals knew my order lol. The location is cute, they have outdoor seating in the front. You'll see people bringing there laptops and working. It's downtown so just be alert of the homeless.

    Entrance with outdoor seating

    Coffee and muffins were great. Service was friendly. Indoor and outdoor seating. Overall a bit expensive but likely comparable to other shops. Parking is confusing -- be careful. I paid $24 to park for coffee and a muffin.

    Chorizo breakfast burrito is so greasy the grease has soaked through and made the burrito translucent. It's just a greasy sloppy mess.
    Anton E.

    The breakfast burrito was so soaked in grease it made it nearly inedible. The coffee was pretty good.

    Hot jasmine tea and Iced Matcha Latte
    Caitlin I.

    Nice place - wasn't busy at all when I went. Good selection + many options for breakfast. I was skeptical about their matcha but it tasted great!

    The Worker (?) bagel--egg, cheese, and smoked turkey.

    Our trip to San Diego includes trying new coffee shops. Coffee N' Talk is close to our hotel and has great reviews so we popped in for breakfast. We were not disappointed! Coffee is five-star for sure! W had an almond milk latte, and I had 2% cow since they didn't have non-fat (What?! In the land of the fit and thin beautiful people?!). They roast their beans here and do a fine job. We each had a breakfast bagel--husband had the egg, cheese, and smoked turkey on cheddar jalapeño and I had the veggie on Asiago. Both were good. W's egg looked a bit dry but he liked it, and mine could have used some seasoning. But overall, a good breakfast. Nice place for locals--very dog friendly. Has indoor and outdoor seating. And the pastry cabinet was hard to pass by! The croinuts looked amazing!

    Great alternative to Bux in downtown San Diego. Espresso drinks taste fresh and strong but not bitter - just how I like it. Service was very good both times. The vibe is very basic. The only downside is the high prices.... Recommended!

    Iced Tea, Latte, Iced Caramel Macchiato
    Sarah G.

    i stopped by coffeentalk for a late saturday morning breakfast with some friends. we were able to order quickly and everything came out with ~10 min. the iced tea was good, and i liked that they had multiple blacked tea options. the latte and macchiato were also quite good. the food was good and hit the spot. nothing special, but we always love the classics. we had the açaí bowl and a BLT!

    For the near locations you can find the Coffee N Talk close by and close by the many busses.

    What is one place that you can have breakfast and some of the best coffee from the many countries of the world? For the many coffees place and the baristas that I have met with the many some can make the best in coffee drinks and there are those that just want to push products to get to the customer to see if they like the drink. What is the one thing that makes a great coffee place is it he food or is it the customer service? Coffee and Talk is one place that I had come across last month and to see what the location was about when you see a large dining area at the front which many coffee places are full, and the many tables would have people meeting for lunch and outside business meetings. When I had arrived at the coffee and talk, I saw the sign at the front door it was saying they were closing asking the people at the counter they said they were open with two hours before they closed. I looked about the coffee shop with the many displays with the coffee they have to sell there was a small number of sweets they told me they have deliveries in the morning. I told them that I wanted to order a caramel mocha 16oz size that is the large size they sell it was a few minutes the charge for the mocha was $5.40 good price for the location right here on Broadway in Downtown San Diego. I asked them if they were the new location on Broadway Downtown San Diego, they told me they were there for a few months the order was brought to the counter the great taste of the coffee was the best I Had ever tasted with the great taste of caramel in the mocha the best. From the many coffees they prepare with the best flavors its one place to have found the best coffee on Broadway next to the Burgers Bagels located across from the YMCA with the best location. The coffee and the location when you want to have the best in mochas and the best flavor from the many countries is the Coffee and Talk to find the best in drinks is the best in coffees. As a Yelp Elite Reviewer this is one place that had got my attention to find a coffee place that was at the end of B4roadway with the Starbucks that is located right across the street to have a place close by. Coffee and Talk is one place with the large dining area and the outdoor meeting area is one of the best coffee places for the early morning and the lunch areas.

I am so sad because I can't remember the name of our waitress! She was amazing because she was so ON POINT with everything -- from knowing the details of each menu item, to knowing what "medium+" is for a steak. She was attentive and amazing and shoutout to her! The food and tiny 'tinis were delicious! The steak and fries were such a good deal for $25.

We had a reservation which was recommended but not necessary for brunch on a Saturday. There was parking available on the street nearby. When we were walked to our table they had sat all of the reservations in a row even though there was plenty of space around the restaurant. It felt awkward. I can understand staff being assigned to certain sections but it was odd as a guest. The menu is very small. We both chose different Benedicts. He chose the duck carnitas and I chose the spinach. They were both the perfect size and tasted great. The wait staff were amazing and very attentive. The reason why I'm scoring this place with a three has mostly to do with the ambiance. Plastic plants when you have ample light is an instant turn off for me. What a waste of good light. And the only books and records you'll see will be on high shelves for display. The sign says live music and there were mics and speakers set up but no one playing the whole time we were there. That was disappointing. I liked the art work in the walls. Hope it wasn't AI. I couldn't tell. (The grid of portraits.)

So I am glad we decided to share the biscuits and gravy but let me run down each thing. Bloody Mary Flight: Honestly every single one was amazing. My favorite was definitely the pickle Mary!

The gravy was also soooo good, just like my mom makes. The sausage in it was also cooked so well and juicy. I've never tried mashed potatoes with the biscuits and gravy but it worked very well! Orange Juice: Not a fan really, not pulpy enough and I wasn't a fan of the flavor. Overall this is definitely a must visit! I will definitely be back.

"Over medium" eggs came barely cooked, still had clear egg gel floating around. The table next to us had the same issue. The fried chicken, which is beautiful looking, was strangely flavorless. Another table was also talking about this issue. Bacon was way overcooked as well. I also really dislike when food timing for a table is way off. I rather it stay in the kitchen under a heat lamp and come together rather that spend 5 minutes staring at my food being polite. So, for a fun "wow that's a ton of food" experience this is it. But I much prefer quality ingredients and attention to detail and flavor over unfinishable portions at a premium price point ($100 after tip for 2 ppl).
