Garden coffee knocking it out of the park again! This place never disappoint, from the pastries to…read morethe drinks, it is always amazing. You can definitely taste the quality and the care they put into picking their menu items. The banana flavored coffee trend has been huge lately and I saw that garden coffee had added "Top Banana" to their menu. You know I had to try it and it was great. The banana flavor is concentrated into to the banana cold foam top, and it tastes like they blended milk with banana, it was so refreshing. It did not have an artificial flavor at all. I also wanted a decaf version of the top banana so instead of cold brew they made it into a latte form for me so I could have it decaf. The baristas are always the sweetest and so friendly. On top of all of that, the space is so cozy. It is located under a tree, so plenty of shade and the owner has many plants around (some for sale too!) and makes the space so green. This is a partially covered outdoor area, so definitely bring a jacket because it gets cold in the shade. There is plenty of seating and tables available, but it fills up as the day goes on. For people looking to study at a coffee shop, there are limited outlets here. They also have a small free library here and game to play. I love that this feels like a place where people can gather. Overall, I love this place, and everyone should check it out at least once!

My favorite little hidden coffee shop in San Diego…read more I love this place! It has all my favorite things: good coffee, plants, books, art, character, a homey feel, and even a tiny thrift shop next door. Tucked away in Old Town, this spot is absolutely worth a visit. Follow them on social media to catch the cool events and live music they host. There's plenty of seating, and the whole shop is outdoors with a cozy backyard‑patio vibe. The coffee is great, and I love trying their seasonal drinks. They have a little library I always appreciate, plus plants and cute merch for sale. Along with coffee, they serve tea and pastries.

We both ordered a seasonal drink it was the raspberry latte with white chocolate Cold foam And we both got it iced. It was fantastic. We had no problem getting street parking right in front. It's just a small simple coffee shop with a few tables and chairs. We did not get food here but I believe it is just some pastries. The staff was great and made my drink promptly. Nothing but good things to say about this place. And it's in Old Town so after you get your coffee go walk around.

While visiting San Diego, I stopped by this spot for a coffee and a crepe. The space itself is…read morequite nice--spacious and comfortable, making it a good place to hang out. However, the service left a lot to be desired. There was only one person managing everything, and despite no one being ahead of me, it took over 20 minutes to receive my order. The wait felt especially long for something as simple as a coffee and a crepe. The coffee was good, but the crepe was just average. It was larger and thicker than expected, which didn't really work in its favor. Overall, while the ambiance is appealing, the slow service and underwhelming food make it unlikely that I'd return.

Is what I order at this Blue & Gold nook of paradise with great outdoor seating, bar seating and main room tables. The decor is gorgeous a blend of European delights, trinkets, treasures and sites. It feels warm, open and intimate all at once. The staff hear is kind, friendly and very attentive. They have so many delicious fresh pastries, desserts and meals they offer hear, not to mention a small assortment of gelato. Very vegan and vegetarian friendly from acai bowls, to insalatas (salads) and more. Great hot and iced teas or coffees, a plethora of alternative milks, including oat, coconut, almond or soy. They even serve wine and beer here, which obsessed with. Good add on choices like avocado. Not to mention pizzas, sandwiches, toasts, breakfast items and unique offering like their charcuterie board (sign me up for the nuts, fruit, olives and marinated goods). Enjoy the stellar Wi-Fi, perfect lighting (day or night), beverage station for those coffee or tea additives + accessories like sugar, stirrers, napkins, etc. Weekday specials. Performances from the Divo and Diva such as their Opera Dinners, holiday and birthday celebrations - check their website as well as IG for upcoming things. Monday, Friday and Saturday D D is open from 8am to 6pm, with great finds for morning afternoon and early evening. Tuesday through Thursday you can enjoy the charm of Divo D from 8am until 4pm. Parking in the area is there, more so in the early half of the day. There's construction at the moment that does limit a few spots, but also the traffic. We parked off a side street about a block away and strolled over taking in the glisten of Hillcrest. Highly recommend this iconic Euro-Esque in SoCal gem in sunny San Diego.

It just reminded me all over again why this is one of those places I find myself wanting to come back to again and again. There's something about it that feels so thoughtful and special, from the ambiance to the way the team genuinely takes care of people. What stands out every time is how warm, intentional, and wonderful the staff is. They really do make you feel welcomed and cared for, and that kind of hospitality is such a huge part of what makes a place memorable. On top of that, they have such a great variety of offerings, coffee, tea, bites, and then as the day rolls on, a lovely wine selection and small plates that make it such a cute little spot for an afternoon reset or a midweek pick-me-up with the girls. I also love sneaking away there when I want to get outside and get a little work done. Their courtyard is truly the cutest and somehow always feels inspiring, peaceful, and just like a little pocket of charm in the middle of the day. And beyond that, I really appreciate how intentional they are about creating community, whether through wine tastings or other little events that make the space feel alive and welcoming. I was there earlier today and they had a wine tasting happening in the courtyard, which just felt so perfectly them. It's always such a gift to have neighborhood places like this that clearly put so much care into what they're creating. Paradis really is one of those gems that makes you want to tell other people about it.

The size was pretty good too. The service was pretty quick and order was ready fast. They have a bunch of different sweets. I got the Tiramisu and it was delicious.

Numerous places to sit outside. The courtyard is very lovely with a few tables inside too. There tends to be a wait. They don't take reservations but considering where it's at we just took a nice stroll and had a table for four within 15/20 minutes. Parking is street and there's plenty of it. You can park in the parking lot in front of Trader Joe's but we have always gotten lucky nearby.

They're open from 6:30 AM to 7 PM daily, with indoor and outdoor seating, sensation service, an assortment of fresh made goodies from bagels to croissants to muffins, toasts, breakfast sandwiches and more!

They're thoughtful, efficient, well let, yet have this mellow ambiance that echos all things University Heights and SD. Free Wi-Fi? Yes, please!

Everything was great until I couldn't figure out how to unlock myself in the bathroom for 2 minutes. I freaked out with the two lock method on the door. I attempted to call but realized it didn't have a number on yelp after trying. I recommend!

When we visited, they were completely out of all milk options except watermelon seed milk, which honestly sounded super weird at first.

Great service, good parking, and a perfect spot to grab a drink and walk around afterward. Just a heads up: there are only two tables inside, so it's definitely more of a grab-and-go kind of place. 10/10 would go back.
