    Latte
    siri g.

    I stopped by on a weekend and the place was pretty busy and yet staff was friendly and welcoming. the café itself has a really cute vibe with nice decor. I ordered a regular latte, but unfortunately it just didn't do it for me. It was a little underwhelming compared to other coffee shops in the area. I was also disappointed that they don't offer "for here" cups, which is always something I appreciate when I'm planning to stay awhile. That said, I'd still be willing to give this place another shot. They seem to have a lot of specialty drinks that looked popular, so maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. The atmosphere alone makes me want to come back and try something different next time.

    Ube Matcha & Coco Ube Lattes
    Jyothi C.

    Picked up two delicious drinks - the Coco Ube Latte and the Ube Matcha - and both were delicious, 5/5 drinks. Our service was great, and though it was semi-busy our drinks came out within 5-10mins. The cafe is spacious and modern with plenty of small tables if you want to hang out and study with your laptop for a few hours. Parking is easy in the adjacent lot. Will be back to explore the menu further!

    Banana Cream Top Vietnamese Coffee
    April P.

    Cute Vietnamese coffee shop in Mira Mesa. I LOVE Vietnamese coffee so i was very excited to give this a try. I got the banana foam coffee and it was delicious, the banana foam was well flavored, thick, & creamy. They were packed inside, every table was filled but the drinks still came out in a very timely manner.

    I admit I'm a coffee connoisseur. I wake up thinking about coffee and before I go to bed I think about what coffee I want in the morning. Em coffee house is definitely one of my favorite spots. Whenever I'm in the area to visit, I will always stop by to grab a cup for my long drive home. Their coffee is strong and hits the spot. I love that you can customize to the sweetness, which is a plus for me especially for Vietnamese coffee. This last time I tried their banana matcha. Surprisedly their matcha is also yummy. 50% sweetness. Deliciousness

    Pandan coco latte
    Rosie W.

    I ordered the pandan coconut latte with Vietnamese coffee. The coffee itself was bold and strong, with that deep, slightly bitter Vietnamese coffee flavor that really comes through in every sip. It balanced really nicely with the pandan, which added a light, fragrant sweetness without being too overpowering. The coconut element tied it all together, giving it a subtle creaminess and a hint of tropical flavor. I also loved the coconut flakes on top--they added a nice texture and a little extra flavor with each sip. The shop itself is bright, modern, big and welcoming.

    FINALLY had a chance to try this place since we were in the area. Amazing Vietnamese coffee!! The hubby and I shared their coffee flight. You can try any 4 flavors. We also got an order of their bear waffles with custard. YUMMY. Great vibes & customer service. ~ Coffee Flight ~ * White Truffle Tiramisu * Cocoube * Pandan Coconut Latte * Banana Toffee Latte #DiningWithTheAndersons #TryingNewPlaces #VietnameseCoffee #Cafecito

    Ceremonial Matcha Einspanner ~ 5/5! The matcha and cream was well balanced. It was one of the best matchas. My BF also got the same as me and enjoyed it. For pastries ~ we got the cheese danish and the salted matcha bread, both so good! I can't wait to come back when I'm in SD again in August.

    Hubs in search of coffee and wanted to check this place out. Cute shop with quite a few tables indoors. Hubs ordered the pandan coconut coffee. I ordered the banana toffee coffee. Together, they were close to $20. Our coffees were good and they were topped with quite a bit of pandan or banana cream. Reason for 3 stars is because it seems like half the cup was ice, half was the cream, and not a whole lot of coffee. For the price, I expected more. I was wanting more after finishing our "large" coffees. Hubs noted the same.

    Em was very busy on Saturday morning with nearly every table occupied. It was great to see so many people enjoying coffee, matcha, food, and flights of different drinks. I ordered a small Em while the hubby ordered a large. It's the classic coffee that was iced with condensed milk. It was more bitter than I'd like but had the right amount of sweetness and creaminess to it. Their matcha options look interesting and a few people ordered the flight of drinks. I plan on trying the flight when I return and ordering the pandan matcha or pandan coconut latte as one of my choices. Both look amazing and sound delicious. The service was quick and super friendly while the shop itself was nicely decorated and very clean.

    Em Egg Biscoff Brulee & Em Coffee
    EJ B.

    Went to get hotpot in the area and my friends were looking for a quick pick-me-up before a road trip. This is one of the first places that popped up and I'm glad we stopped by! They had multiple interesting latte options and you can customize how sweet or strong your coffee is. Seems like a good study spot as well!

    Em Egg Biscoff Brulee 10/10

    Visited the SD Em Coffee House in Mira Mesa this week. Ambiance was so great and service was wonderful. I forget the cashiers name but it was a nice gentleman working yesterday (Wednesday) around 12pm that helped me and my mom. Ordered the egg vietnamese coffee and of course it was amazing. Theres not a lot of places that can make Vietnamese coffee with a twist with all these other flavoring without taking away that strong vietnamese coffee flavor. Em Coffee House really has that down. I highly highly recommend it if you want to try vietnamese coffee but with different flavors (ex: Egg coffee, Ube, White chocolate, etc!).

    Citrus lemongrass refresher & royal pink lychee
    Amy N.

    royal pink lychee 50% sweet & citrus lemongrass refresher 50% were both sooo refreshing. Perf amount of sweetness for me but too sweet for my dad. If u like urs not sweet at all it rec getting 25% or less. I'd get these again though! Very clean & nice place to study at although I heard they don't have wifi. Service is great here!

    banana matcha einspanner
    Angie H.

    This is a solid spot for coffee and matcha. I've enjoyed both every time I've gone. The banana matcha einspänner was really good, and their egg coffee was solid too. Service and drinks were good, and the interior is super cute with LOTS of seating. It gets pretty packed, but the vibe is nice. I'd definitely come back if I'm ever in the area.

It was tasty - light, smooth, and included real taro - and had alternating layers of cream and taro; however, we were surprised with how small it was in person (vs photos) for $12.50 before tax. This is just below the price for an Extraordinary Desserts cake slice, which is not only bigger and more complex, but also made fresh. We noticed the crepe cake slice we got had that dusting of ice sparkles, indicating it was frozen and defrosting, and additionally, as it defrosted, the more it started leaning. If you haven't tried Yiko Yiko, it's worth still checking out. That said, I think you'll be satisifed after one or two visits.

Lots of chocolate and I think they added toffee in it too. The middle section had pistachio frangipane (or it looked like it) with coarsely chopped pistachios that brought another layer of crunch! Then to top it all off, it had pistachio cream on top of the cookie! I only wish I got another one. CAPPUCCINO It was okay. But love the foam! It was frothy and foamy! PAVLOVA The meringue was a bit too hard and too sweet and the pastry cream was overwhipped. Loved the fresh fig and blueberries though. I was looking forward to eating pavlova and this was very disappointing! KOUIGN AMANN Very buttery and sticky! Crispy on the outside. Every bite was not dry, but chewy. There was this sticky and chewy texture that wasn't unpleasant, yet it wasn't fully flaky like a croissant. But glad it was not dry! The kouign amann was not as tall like others I've tried, but I preferred it this way because it was not dry. The last kouign amann I had from Bread Lounge was dryyyy. But bought mine at a coffee shop too. PAIN AU CHOCOLAT Crispy on the outside, but I must have toasted a bit more, so the outside was a bit more toasted than desired. Inside was good. Good dark chocolate. BUTTER CROISSANT Really buttery, flaky, crispy! Ate it next day, so reheated it in the toaster oven to bring a more crispness all around. Really enjoyed this! Adding butter and jam is so good! LEMON MERINGUE Meringue had a strong eggy smell and flavor, the lemon was tangy, but not enough to rid of the eggy smell and flavor. The tart was hard and almost stale. I took a few bites and threw the rest out. PAIN SUISSE Chocolate flavor. Crispy on the outside, fluffy like a light spongy cake inside. Enjoyed this! CUSTOMER SERVICE Got there early afternoon. There was only one person in front of me. Good service overall. Quick service. Hits and misses of the various pastries I've tried. It will not deter me from trying their pastries though, as the really good ones were really good! Would love to return! Especially for that Choco Chip Pistachio Cookie!
