    I picked up one of Em's signature beverages: Matcha Einspanner on iced for $8.50 plus tax. The beverage came with ceremonial grade matcha, milk, and a house made salted vanilla cream that went on top. The match was pretty good. and the salted vanilla cream was milder than I expected. I wanted a little more impact from the salt and vanilla, but overall it was a tasty beverage. The matcha was definitely of good quality. The ladies that were working this new location offered very good hospitality. They were warm and welcoming and efficient with their service. The location offers limited seating inside, but given that it is at Mission Valley Center Mall, there are plenty of outside seating opportunities.

    Love love LOVE!! I have been waiting to try this coffee shop for quite a while now, so I'm extremely happy we finally got to visit this weekend. The ambiance was wonderful--I loved the vibe and aesthetic of the place. It was bright, lively and felt welcoming inside. Service was great--the lady who helped us was nice and patient. Our drinks came out pretty quickly as well. They also have a kiosk near the door, if you prefer to order that way. What we tried: Royal Pink Lychee Tea Citrus Lemongrass Refresher White Truffle Tiramisu Cream Coffee Matcha Einspanner All the drinks we got were super delicious!! The White Truffle Tiramisu Cream Coffee and the Matcha Einspanner were both creamy, decadent and bold in flavor. I love that they both weren't too sweet either. One thing of note--their Vietnamese coffee packs A PUNCH. It's strong as heck, but once it mixes in with everything else, it's the perfect intensity and flavor. The Royal Pink Lychee Tea and the Citrus Lemongrass Refresher were both crisp and incredibly refreshing. They're both great twists on iced tea drinks without being overly sweet or watered down. The flavors and tea were still very much prominent in the drinks, which I really appreciated. I personally enjoyed the Citrus Lemongrass Refresher a little more because not a lot of cafés offer lemongrass drinks, and you can really get that flavor and essence in this one. Overall, we're already looking forward to the next time we can stop by. I'm so excited to try their other drinks!

    Your bubble girl reviewer (peanut, tree nut, and seafood allergy) did not have an allergic reaction here. But always tell the staff about any allergies! Soft opening for this new coffee and tea shop, and I will definitely be back to try more. We had the Coco-Ube. It is Viet Phin Milk Coffee With Ube Cream with toasted coconut flakes ($7.50). Even though we got the regular coffee, not the strong coffee, i still feel like it was pretty strong and loved it! It was topped with a biscoff cookie. I'll have to try the matcha next, since i believe that's what they're known for. Located in Mission Valley Mall, this small shop is very nicely decorated and I really love the color scheme. The only caveat is there are no tables, just a long curved bench. So this not a coffee shop where you can bring your laptop and get work done. I'm not sure if they'll update that since it's the soft opening currently? I'll update this review when I can go back to try the matcha, desserts, and small bites!

    Stopped by this place which seemed new in mission valley mall. Didn't get their coffee so I can't speak on that (yet) but I got one of their lychee refreshers and it was delicious! Very refreshing, light, and not too sweet. Great for a hot day. My friend got the pandan matcha which was also very good but that one did seem on the sweeter side. Looking forward to trying the coffee next time.

    Small establishment with just enough space inside to sit and wait for your drink, nice indoor plant decor. I got a banana toffee latte that I enjoyed - loved the toffee bits. Service was quick. They were out of most pastries but I went an hour before closing. Lots of parking at the mall

    Your in the moment with every sip.

    So 1 the lady was so nice when she told me what would be in my drink I personally have a hard time deciphering when i don't hear what will be in it altogether. I got a Banana Toffee Latte the cup said "Be in the moment" but i was in multiple moments in every sip of my drink. I really was in a bad mood earlier this drink turned my day around. Ladies if your man is irritated get him this drink they will shut up trust me. The inside was nice it had nice little coushin on the booth like 1 per person sort of vibe on the other side of the table was another chair. The place was nice the tables dirty its why i did not sit there for my drink i had it to go, but I understand this place just opened they need business to hire. This replaced Starbucks for me i will always come here for my latte.

    I was completely in awe of this coffee shop. Their menu is extensive with the variety of lattes or matcha drinks you can order. They also have sandwiches and pastries. I was very impressed with my tiramisu Matcha. I can't wait to return to try more flavors.

    Mission Valley mall needed a new coffee and tea spot and the decor and ambiance of this one drew us in right away. But unfortunately, this one missed the mark for me. We tried the Coconut Matcha Blast and the Sky Peach tea and neither were sweet or flavorful enough. The matcha was bitter and there was really no peach taste in the tea. The employees were friendly and you can tell they definitely focus on making the drinks pretty and instagram worthy, which I do appreciate. Everything on the menu sounded really good so maybe it was just an off day? I could see myself coming back to try something totally different and give it another try.

    New coffee shop in the mall so I had to try it out! I've been to the other locations like Mira Mesa and I was pretty impress. The banana matcha latte I got here was pretty good. The only thing I wanted more in my drink was to make the taste of the matcha a bit more concentrated, it fell a bit flat. But none the less, I can't wait to try their other options available. Welcome to the neighborhood Em coffee! Can't wait to try their salt bread

    Super happy that a coffee place opened up in Mission Valley! I've had Em Coffee in the Mira Mesa location before so I already knew I had to try the new location. The place was already a bit busy at 10am and ended up getting the Tiramisu coffee. The drink was so delicious and I really enjoyed the foam on top. Will be my go to place whenever I go to the mall now!

    Came for soft opening. None of their drinks are too sweet and their banana coffee actually hits pretty hard

    Stopped by during their Soft Opening. First time trying their drinks (from franchise itself). I was excited because they have Pandan (Pandan Coconut Latte) but to my surprise, it's just a Pandan cream top. It was too thick compared to others I've tried. The color itself looked too artificial. The coffee itself wasn't as sweet which the pandan complemented. It's a small coffee shop which I like because it's not of an in and out instead of sit and sip. Staff was friendly and provided recommendations.

    I've been meaning to try Em coffee in Mira Mesa but saw this location open in the Mission Valley mall as I was walking around so I decided to try it here. It's located near the middle of the mall across from the movie theater and Yardhouse. It's a small shop with a few seats inside to wait for your drink. The decor is cute and fits with the theme. The cashier was so nice and answered any questions about the menu. I heard him recommend certain drinks to other customers based off their desires as well. I just wanted a simple coffee so I ordered the marble latte. I honestly thought I might be disappointed in it as I didn't get one of the really pretty drinks with cream tops or other fancy add ons but my drink was absolutely delicious and hit the spot. I was very happy with my choice. The coffee was strong and so flavorful like Vietnamese coffee is known for. I got it with almond milk which made it creamy and smooth but not too sweet. The drink was perfect after being mixed up with the ice melting slightly. I'm so happy I tried this coffee shop out and I will definitely be back to try one of the fancier drinks.

They were both 10/10 and EXTREMELY STRONG. Made with their own brands robust beans, but not bitter at all. Customer service: I didn't catch the name of the lady who made my drink or took my order, but even with a big line I got my lattes within 5 minutes. The worker gave them to me with a smile on her face and it was so inviting I felt very welcomed. Value: Both of these lattes were $7 each which is standard for what I would pay for this high quality experience/drink. So definitely worth it! Atmosphere: Very aesthetic, welcoming, simple environment. With hints of their Vietnamese culture! Overall experience: My favorite part about Saigon Coffee was that after I read the owners origin story (which is written by the pick up counter) the humbly welcoming and high quality experience I had all made sense. Saigon, my props to you for demonstrating even through your employees your main philosophy of humble gratitude. Thank you

I got their seasonal drink, the lucid dream, per the barista's recommendation. I do NOT recommend this drink. Unless you like mediciney, licorice taste. It was advertised as a rootbeer esque drink, and I love root beer, but the star anise and wintergreen just completely overpowered the drink and left a very sour aftertaste. The drink was very silky at first, but that's about all it had going for it. I even went home and tried to modify it by adding cold brew, cream and honey and even sea salt to cut the flavor away, but the medicinal herbal flavors were just too strong. This one was a miss, the drink alone was a 1 star. But i tried my friend's drink and it wasn't bad, so maybe I'd try a more normal drink or the cherry almond soda drink and see how it is.
