Cute little coffee spot tucked away from the busier parts of San Diego. The area itself is pretty…read morequiet, but once you step inside, the shop, its really cute. The interior has this fun sketchbook/coloring-book feel, almost like you're stepping into a drawing that came to life. They have some seasonal pumpkin drinks right now, so I tried the pumpkin cold brew and my friend got the pumpkin matcha. We actually came mainly for the pumpkin bagel, but unfortunately it was already sold out when we got there around 9:30 AM. So if that's what you're coming for, I'd definitely recommend getting there early! I'll have to come back and try it next time. Overall, such a cute spot for a coffee run and definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

Love this place…read more Got the pumpkin bagel with pumpkin cream cheese and it didn't disappoint. Alot of pumpkin flavor and the pumpkin cream cheese perfectly flavored and not overly sweet. So delicious. The pumpkin cookie butter latte also very smooth and delicious. Lots of pumpkin flavor and still taste the coffee. So so good. The mocha latte is always a good option I don't like mushrooms so I didn't like the mushroom empanada but the crust was flaky and delicious. Boy friend really liked it Service is always fast and friendly here. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Dogs are welcomed on the patio. (Some had them inside and was ok)

Terribly rude. Went in at 6:45 pm to order a thai tea. Simple. Drink kiosk was down, no worries,…read morewent to the line. It was a bit disorganized, so wife went to the part of the line where yogurt cup people were, I went to the line that had formed for drink orders. The lady in front of me in line is greeted, drink order taken, cool. My wife is pushed out of line by some rude lady just before getting to the front. There is one cashier so I'm assuming it's a give one get one merge situation for the lines. Obviously standing in the yogurt line without a yogurt cup and trying to wait to order a drink is the wrong move. So next yogurt order goes through. I try to walk up for my turn, but am cut off by the next yogurt cup. Ok it's an old lady, I'm happy to wait for her to go. Then she finished and I approach the cashier. I'm at the checkout. The lady that elbowed my wife out of line comes up and the cashier ignores me and turns and starts talking to her. I've been patiently waiting for about eight minutes at this point, and my wife and I decide to just leave. Garbage service. Avoid.

FOR THE WIN!!! (4.75 stars)…read more I love donuts. And I tend to stick to basic classical donuts. And therefore I am late to the trend with the mochi donuts! This location is inside Bober Tea and Coffee. There is a glass casing with several flavors to choose from and they sell at $3 a piece. The one that stood out to me was the chocolate with sprinkles. Upon receiving it in a paper pocket bag, the icing was rubbing off on the bag. That immediately told me this is super fresh! I could already feel the softness of the donut. The little sectioned off ball looking segments of the donut are also a game changer when it comes to eating - easier to eat without making a mess! The texture was bouncy, soft, lightly chewy and a little stretchy... the texture was fun and I found myself wanting another afterwards. I do wish they had offer other flavors that don't sounds too sweet because the other flavors didn't really catch me. Until the next review...

First plus point for this store is they open at 9am. Horray, I can get boba early in the morning…read more The store is cute, clean and staff are friendly. I got the ube coffee with boba and I love it. Everything goes well together. I got crème brûlée, matcha and chocolate donut and all very tasty. Take advantage of Tuesday for $1 donut when you purchase a drink on TooGoodToGo app for discount. I will definitely come back

What a gem of a shack Cuppa Cuppa is!!!…read more I've lived by it for 8 years but didn't really start getting into drinking espresso until this past year so I hadn't stopped by here ever but man, I guess I've been missing out. I've tried A LOT of coffee shops in SD (and get americanos) and confidently say they have really solid espresso here. They also have such fun seasonal menu items for those who like sweeter drinks and their banana breads are bomb. One of these days I will make it there early enough to try a breakfast burrito. Such lovely staff they have too! Also I will never forget when Better Buzz was opening up across the street and they got the billboard above their store promoting their business...was gold lolol Will support Cuppa Cuppa over Better Buzz any day for sure.

When you roll up to Cuppa Cuppa, there are only two words you have to say: "Emma, please."…read more This drink is so good I often ponder who Emma is so I can thank her for this majestic creation. Does she embody the perfect balance of sweetness from the brown sugar brewed into the espresso or strong willed like the robust coffee that punched through the cream? This beverage simultaneously satisfies my desire for a beverage that is tasty without drowning out the espresso flavor. Emma - whoever you are - thank you.

$28.73 all in for three orders: Short, Tall, and a Cone…read more Let's get the obvious part out of the way: there was a line. It was two storefronts long. It took us 43 minutes to get to the counter. Forty-three minutes. At that point, you have enough time to question your life choices, make several new friends, and convince yourself that gelato is technically a meal. This place isn't really set up like a typical ice cream shop. There's one register and two scoopers, and the scoopers seem to rotate through like Vegas blackjack dealers as they go through a very deliberate routine. Watching them work felt less like standing in line at an ice cream shop and more like being taken on a small culinary tour. And that's intentional. An's calls it a "flavor tour," offering guests a sample of every flavor before ordering. Their menu rotates every couple of weeks, and the gelato is made from scratch with fresh, local ingredients. There were seven menu items, but there's always eight flavors and they offer samples of everything. We arrived when there was a shift change, and the person behind the counter asked if we wanted to do the samples or just order. After waiting 43 minutes, do you think I wanted the samples? Hell yeah I did. At that point, I had earned my tiny cup of gelato. I truly appreciated the experience. It never felt like the staff was simply trying to get people through the line. They were explaining flavors, answering questions, and actually providing a service. The scoopers really are more like tour guides. During the wait outside, I walked over to the bottle shop on the corner and bought us some water. When I came back, someone from An's came outside and offered everyone in line a cup of water. Lol. Apparently they had already figured out that people standing in the sun on the sidewalk for 43 minutes might need hydration. But that's service. The parking situation is tight. I had to make a few circles before finding a spot, which meant my gelato pilgrimage had an appropriate amount of suffering attached to it. But then came the payoff. The product is excellent. Every flavor we tried was delicious, including the Phở, which I absolutely did not expect to like as much as I did. Somehow, it works as do all the flavors. The curators use ingredients that taste like they actually matter. The flavors are distinct, balanced, and thoughtfully constructed rather than just being unusual for the sake of being unusual. I went with the cone, which is by far the best value of the three options, and had Pienfu and Hampton. Pienfu is oolong with butterscotch peanut butter. Hampton combines dark chocolate, white chocolate, and butter cookie. Separately, both were fantastic. Together, these were even better. Would I wait 43 minutes again? Absolutely not. Would I happily come back and eat more of this gelato? Absolutely. There have to be some off-hours when I can walk in without joining a standing parade; and when I find that time, I'll be back. The flavors are creative without being gimmicky, the ingredients are top-notch, the staff actually engages with customers, and the whole thing feels like there's genuine care behind it. I just need to figure out what time to come back when everyone else is asleep!

this is by no means a fair rating - I had it delivered to me so it was basically soup but my god…read more Number one gelato spot in the us is not an easy shoe to fill, but man they met my expectations Moyozashi- hojicha black cherry dark chocolate, insane flavor combo. The crunchy chocolate fantastic and hojicha still shone despite the strong cherry Pho- it tastes like pho what can I say. Strong cinnamon and it really did feel like pho but sweet. They did what other can only dream of doing well

This review is for the donuts specifically:…read more These damn donuts have a chokehold on my partner and I. They're so light. Fluffy. Tasty. Subtle but not? the ratio of topping and icing to donut if perfectly crafted. Every flavor I've tried I've been a fan of. The first time I came, Wednesday Adams (not really but some young emo girl who was not happy to be there) served us with an attitude that made us almost leave. Then we had the donuts and was like damn. We'll give them one more chance lol. That's how good they are haha. Point is. Aside from the kids that work there and are sometimes a little too chill or grumpy, the quality of the product exceeds any service complaints I have so. I would encourage others to try it

To this place could be walkable if you lived around here. They do have free parking in the back,…read morewhich is shared with little Caesars next-door. I really love their pink decoration inside, it seems like they kinda went all out with pink. You can order from the kiosk and they offer more than Boba tea here. I've tried several of their mochi donut which it used to be more popular, as well as their Boba tea. I do have to say they charge for everything they can get, including charging for less ice. For mochi doughnut I give them three out of five it's not really memorable, but it's also not that bad. For their Boba tea, I will give them four out of five. We've been here several times and they are consistent with Boba texture every time. However, they are very stingy with their Boba proportion.

I wanted to find a new place where I could enjoy the vibe, read my book, and not feel overwhelmed by a huge crowd. I was really happy we found this place! The owner was super welcoming, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. My husband and I each tried one of their desserts, and we even took a cake home. Everything was really good! We both got regular iced coffees, and they were really good too. They were also really nice about making our drinks the way we liked them. We really enjoyed being able to sit, drink our coffee, read our books, and just enjoy the atmosphere for a while. The only downside was that there are only two single-person bathrooms, so you may have to wait a little if it gets busy. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and would definitely come back again, especially when it's a little less busy!

Really lovely coffee shop in north park. Perfect spot to stop in and do some work…read more One of the best americanos I've gotten in San Diego (so their espresso is really good).

This location is in a parking lot with a walk-up window outside and seating both indoors and out. I've only had the ice cream and they give you a generous size even for small, and I love a twist cone with sprinkles (although, I've found out some people call twist cones swirls!). I think I'll mostly come here for ice cream, but they do have some good daily food specials so may take advantage of that some day.

We were looking to try somewhere new and came across this location. Service is fast and convenient for a pick up & go. The portion was generous and the vanilla ice cream stood out. It's simple, classic, and well made. It was a perfect treat after a slightly heavy meal. There's also a diner inside that looked great but we didn't get a chance to try it. We'll definitely come back and stop by to try the menu items out. Overall, a solid spot for a quick high-quality ice cream stop. Definitely would recommend this place for friends, family, and groups!

This coffee place was SO good! It's located inside of a barbershop, which was definitely unexpected…read more but it's actually separated into two completely different areas, so it works really well. The coffee shop itself is a little on the smaller side, but the quality of everything was amazing. The staff was super friendly and patient with us, especially because I had no idea what I wanted at first. I ended up getting the Cookies & Cream iced latte with oat milk and OMG... it was so good. Definitely one of the better iced lattes I've had! My friends got iced matchas with oat milk, and they loved theirs as well. Everything tasted really fresh and high quality, and I thought the prices were definitely fair for the quality of the drinks. Overall, I really enjoyed this place and would 100% come back the next time I'm in the San Diego area. Definitely a cute little hidden gem!

Kind staff. Takes pride in their drinks. Nice chill ambiance. Prices are a little more than Starbucks and worth every penny. This place is a hidden treasure right next to a barber shop. Park at the sushi place parking lot if you can't find parking in the little strip mall.
