    A quick, clean cafe for a yummy pick me up. This cuppa cuppa location is small but parking is not too difficult right out front. There are a few tables but it's a nice grab and go location too. Cool to see the coffee beans getting roasted in view of the counter! I got an iced latte with oat milk. Tasted very standard, darker roast. My partner comes here often and brings her own cup for environmental reasons. They are always quick and efficient, very friendly!

    This coffee shop roast the coffee beans in house and the coffee is delicious. I ordered the Vienna latte and it was smooth and very tasty. Also, I ordered the raspberry pop tart. This pastry was flaky and had a good amount of raspberry filling. The barista answered all my questions and provided great service. This coffee shop has adequate seating inside and seating outside. Cool vibes and great coffee and I'll be returning.

    Horchata cold brew

    Barista was nice, price was better than most. But this coffee was meh. The sweetener used left a bitter aftertaste. Nothing like horchata. I asked for have more cold brew to mask the sweet flavor, at this point it tasted watery and bitter from the cold brew. She came out and asked to remake my drink !! Ugh so sweet. Tried a latte instead, honey cinnamon and it was much better.

    Another great morning with a great coffee. Walked down and got an iced coffee to enjoy in this beautiful weather. Iced dirty chia and a breakfast cookie is where it's at. The staff are amazing. Was busy when I got there, but they acknowledged both me and my pups the minute we walked in. Coffee is delicious and the cookie is addictive. The staff are all so personable. Not only to they remember names but ask about recent life events. It really is what you want from your local coffee shop. They roast their own coffee and have it for purchase as well. Plus if you're in a hurry the drive thru is less than a mile away with the same great coffee and service. Owners are local OGs and are fantastic (LGBTQ+ & Dog people). What can I say, but in a sea of hipster coffee shops in SD they make you feel like you are home.

    Cuppa Cuppa Coffee Lab is a small coffee shop. I ordered the Barcelona, which has crème brûlée and cinnamon. The coffee and the service were good.

    My first visit to this version of Cuppa Cuppa!

    I have long been a fan of the Cuppa Cuppa drive thru outlet on Mission Gorge Road. In fact, I have always wished this outstanding outlet had a place like this but it came after I left San Diego a few years ago. Well, now I must thank Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf for taking White and Dark chocolate latte offerings off their menu - my two absolute favorite latte beverages. It left me with nothing I wanted to buy there anymore, so one day when I told the baristas at the Cuppa drive thru about it, they informed me about the Cuppa Lab - and now the rest is history! I will say that I have only received outstanding service and coffee/latte offerings from Cuppa Cuppa. I have written two other reviews on the drive thru- both five stars and this one is no different! I met the terrific owner, Cynthia, here on my visit and we had some great conversation about these sites and the different things this outlet has to make it more attractive than the drive thru. I am especially happy to hear that this shop doesn't hold back on creativity! And I can't wait to pick up that "not-on-the-menu" Mexican mocha soon! On this visit, I had spring the season offering, white macadamia nut latte - awesome! What is special in the white chocolate lattes at Cuppa is that they use Ghirardelli white chocolate powder - it's got it's own unique flavor and it's FAR better than syrups! I have full confidence that anyone who visits either Cuppa Cuppa location will be 100 percent satisfied with their beverage and most likely return as well. I actually stayed here on my visit for about two hours - chatting, journaling, texting, etc. The shop appears not overly decorated or fancy in decor - that's ok! Because the magic here lies in the beverages they serve! Baristas (and the owner) are outstanding in service, courtesy, and getting the orders right. It was so excellent here as far as the details go that even the restroom was one of the cleanest and presentable ones I've ever seen in a business in all my Yelping days! OK! I've said enough! Now it's your turn to visit Cuppa Cuppa and let us know what you think! I have a feeling I know what that will be! Recommend: HIGHEST

    Inside!

    Great place to study at near SDSU!!! I'm always on the lookout for a new cafe to study at that is fairly close and I randomly clicked on this place on Google Maps. The inside looked really cute so I thought I would give this place a shot! Parking is kind of hard because it's all street parking but the area doesn't look like it would usually be that busy. I got the slowchata. When I got it, it looked water-y and unmixed, but the drink itself is actually pretty good. The coffee flavor had a good strength and I could taste the cinnamon. I just wish there wasn't so much ice in it :(. That would probably be my only critique of this place. Like I mentioned earlier, this is the perfect place to study if you're by yourself or are with one other person. Some outlets, a bathroom, and really fast wifi. Overall, I am definitely going to come back here to study. The drinks are good besides the excess ice. They need to be more generous about that!!!

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.

They serve traditional coffee and matcha, but the real standouts are their Vietnamese‑inspired drinks like the pho cold brew, pandan latte, ube latte, and more. Definitely a spot to try something new. They're very dog‑friendly, which is always a win. And the logo? A cute dog, who I'm assuming is Chance -- absolutely love that touch. The narrow outdoor patio is small but super charming, and they almost always have some kind of pop‑up happening. There's an events calendar at the counter so you can see what's coming up next. Prices are typical, but they had a summer deal menu with a nicely priced matcha latte, which was a great touch. The cloud foam options are delicious and worth exploring. And one of the cutest features: they have a fun photo booth in the back, perfect for grabbing a little memory with friends or your pups. Laid‑back, friendly, and full of unique drinks -- a great stop for anyone wanting to explore Vietnamese coffee culture or switch up their usual order.
