    Banana coffee and banana bread. Banana everything!
    Shar M.

    Stopped in for a quick cup of coffee and was pleasantly surprised at all of the wonderful flavors they had. Got a banana toffee crunch, Vietnamese iced coffee and some warm banana bread. Really cute restaurant super clean and modern. The prices were really great! Average price is around 7 to 8 dollars. This mall has been newly remodeled, so grab a coffee and take your time and walk around. It looks really good!

    Best coffee ever. Such a cute little spot in Mira Mesa. Coffee was made super fast, and it was amazing! Can't wait to go back

    Cute coffee house with a lot of coffee options. I shared the coffee flight with a friend. We picked the following: - Brown Sugar Latte (3/5) - Strawberry Matcha (5/5) - White Truffle Tiramisu (4/5) - Caramel Machiatto (5/5) The flight was so cute and fun to share. I'll definitely be going back to try more options.

    Banana Toffee Latte
    Alyson Lei M.

    AMAZING coffee. Not too sweet and pretty strong. I love that they give you the option of regular or stronger coffee. Service is quick, and there's plenty of seats. Perfect place to study or have a little coffee date. Highly recommend the Banana Toffee!

    Ube Milk Matcha and Pandan Coconut Latte
    Ka'uhane C.

    Seems like a good place to study, but seating seems relatively limited. I'd suggest getting there early. Their ube milk matcha is probably one of my favorite beverages to date. The ube flavor pairs beautifully with the ceremonial matcha, and is so deliciously silky. My partner thoroughly enjoyed his pandan coconut latte as well. I believe their ube milk line is seasonal, but I really hope they decide to permanently add it to the menu.

    I'd heard a lot about Em Coffee House on social media, so I decided to give it a try. For me, a traditional Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk should have a rich, thick texture. I ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee with an extra shot of espresso. The coffee itself was strong, which I liked, but it didn't have the signature creamy thickness that I usually expect from Vietnamese coffee. The shop isn't very large, but it's clean, organized, and has a comfortable atmosphere. The staff were friendly, and my drink was prepared quickly without much of a wait. The overall concept reminds me of Đá Viên in Orange County, although I think the quality and flavor are a little different. Overall, it was a pleasant visit, and if you're in the area, it's worth trying to see if it matches your taste.

    I love the coffee here, but be fore warned, the coffee is very strong. It is so delicious that you want to chug the coffee but you have to restrain yourself. All of their coffees are amazing, they have such fun flavors. If you love Vietnamese coffee then you have to try this place. This place has easy parking, the noise levels are low and there is plenty of space to study or work! This spot is very aesthetic.

    Egg brulee & white truffle tiramisu coffee
    Tiffany H.

    We ordered the Egg brulee & white truffle tiramisu coffees. The egg brulee wasn't that sweet and had a strong egg flavor to the cream, which was delicious! The coffee is also pretty strong and would highly recommend for a boost. The white truffle tiramisu was a bit sweeter than the egg brulee but it honestly had the perfect level of sweetness to it. Would highly recommend ordering both flavors! Service was excellent! We received our orders quickly and the cashier was kind. There is a good amount of seating in the cafe and it was pretty packed with people working there on a Monday afternoon. A nice spot to do work or hang out with friends! Plenty of parking out in front in a lot with other shared businesses. Would recommend!

    Cute coffee spot with plenty of options. You order at the counter, the servers were nice. We got a flight to share. We picked the strawberry matcha, caramel macchiato, pandan matcha and ube matcha.

    I ordered the banana toffee latte, and unfortunately, it wasn't what I was expecting. It lacked both the banana and toffee flavors and mostly just tasted like coffee. I was hoping for something with a little more flavor. I also ordered the banana bread, and it was very dry and hard. I could barely eat it, which was disappointing. The staff also wasn't very welcoming or friendly during my visit. That said, the coffee shop is very spacious and has a large menu with plenty of drinks to choose from. While this visit wasn't the best, I'd be willing to come back and give another drink a try, hoping for a better experience.

    Banana Matcha
    Cari A.

    Finally visited Em coffee house. It is located in Mira Mesa to the right of Seafood City Supermarket. My banana matcha was $8+ Pros: -free parking lot -lots of 2-seater tables -free WiFi -quick service to make drinks -my drink was delicious- they added slices of bananas on the top Cons: -n/a

    I had a craving for matcha and wanted to try a new spot. I saw that this place is in my neighborhood and gave it try. I ordered the bukopandan matcha latte. I set the sweetness level to 50%. It tasted just as I imagined. I want to come back and try more drinks.

    Banana left, biscoff right
    Alice G.

    I can't believe it took me so long to try Em Coffee! The location is so convenient, with plenty of parking near the Seafood city. I ordered the White trufflemisu and it was not too sweet but still strong which was wonderful. The other drink I tried was the Banana Toffee Latte and this was the perfect sweetness level. I love how you can customize the level of coffee and get regular or strong. If you're looking for a cute, quiet coffee shop to catch up with a friend, or get some work done, there is plenty of room here to do it.

Once I saw they offered a Tokyo Banana Latte during the bakery cafe hours, it was a no brainer to come back the next morning for breakfast. ASA was easy to find. The line was almost to the door when we arrived, but it moved at a fair pace. They offer a good variety of pastries, matchas, coffees, baguettes, and even some lunch sandwiches. I also love that they stay open later than your typical bakery, so it's a nice option whether you want breakfast, an afternoon coffee, or something later in the day. You select your pastries cafeteria style before ordering your drinks at the register. We got two baguettes, the Spicy Sausage and the Caviar. Both had that crispy, slightly harder baguette texture that gave them a really nice crunch. The Spicy Sausage had a good amount of heat with a savory, meaty filling that paired really well with the bread. If you like fish roe, I definitely recommend the Caviar Baguette. It was buttery with that rich salty umami flavor you get from fish roe without tasting overly fishy. For drinks, we tried two of the seasonal lattes advertised on flyers throughout the bakery, the Blueberry Muffin Latte and of course the Tokyo Banana Latte. These were easily the highlights of our visit. The Blueberry Muffin Latte had a delicate blueberry flavor with a delicious creamy topping that actually reminded me of a blueberry pastry. The Tokyo Banana Latte had a thick, rich banana cream on top with a slightly salty finish sprinkled over it. The banana flavor was noticeable without being artificial or overly sweet. Both lattes were really balanced, creamy, and delicious. After trying ASA at night and coming back for the bakery the next morning, I'm really glad we got to experience both sides of the spot.
