    Cafe Seating
    Vivian T.

    Finjan Cafe sharing the space with Tahini is a double win! Stopped by in on Sunday to get something light and refreshing, which their Moroccan Mint Tea Cold Brew did the job. Although I wish the cafe space had more seating on their side for those who aren't there for the food, there is plenty of outdoor seating, however, and other tables in the restaurant. I loved the minimal decor and my friend had their Vanilla Bean Latte with added date foam on top. It was SO delicious! I'd highly recommend that for a coffee! It's a nice addition to the Mission Valley coffee scene, which I feel is quite lacking here. I would return again for the latte!

    Coffee is delicious, and you can tell they really care about both the quality and presentation of every drink. They make their syrups in-house and are happy to customize the sweetness level of any drink. While visiting San Diego, this became our go-to spot for morning coffee. Besides the Turkish coffee (highly recommended), I also tried the: - Orange Latte - Salted Pistachio Latte - Sparkling Orange Espresso Every drink was thoughtfully made, with unique and delicious flavors. The quality is consistently on point. This coffee shop is such a lovely addition to the neighborhood and will definitely stay on our coffee rotation whenever we're back in town. The staff is also incredibly nice, attentive, and welcoming.

    Finjan coffee is a great try to expand your coffee culture. The coffee selections are great, along with helpful staff. A worthwhile visit. Recommend

    A friend and I found this place while looking for coffee shops. Wow, it was lovely. Food was great and service was excellent. We really enjoyed our time there. I was a little mix with the ambiance. We sat outside and the music was loud and definitely not to my liking, not for a morning cup of excellent coffee. We did ask for the volume to be lowered down. It was grated. If you are in this area and are looking for a unique coffee experience, consider them and share your reviews with us. Happy coffee time.

    I finally got to try Finjan Coffee. I've passed by their original spot so many times but never actually went in. They opened a second location in Mission Valley inside the Tahini restaurant at Hazard Center, and I like that it's not in a super crowded plaza. It's kind of tucked away and you can grab a drink and food in the same place since they share the space. The vibe was calm and quiet, really good if you want to sit for a bit or study. Lighting was nice and not too harsh. The workers were super warm and welcoming. It felt like somewhere I'd come back to often. They have your usual coffee and tea menu, then a separate one for seasonal drinks and desserts. I took a minute to look through everything and ended up getting a seasonal matcha with cold foam and their Crunchy Knafeh. It was around $13 and comes in a small tray but it's definitely shareable. If you've never had knafeh before, it's basically a warm dessert with a crispy shredded pastry layer on top, soft melty cheese inside, and a light sugar syrup poured over it. This one had pistachios on top too. Trust me it works. When the matcha came out, I already knew it was going to be good just from the color. It was that deep green, not pale at all. First sip was so good. You get the cold foam first, then the matcha comes through smooth with a light sweetness from the date syrup. Nothing was too strong or too sweet, it just worked. I literally started texting people to try it because it felt like one of those drinks you don't forget. The knafeh came out warm and we were supposed to take it to go, but we just ate it there. It was gooey in the best way, the cheese was soft and not too heavy, and the top had that crunch with pistachios. Once we poured the syrup over it, everything came together. Not overly sweet, just really good and honestly kind of addicting. It's lowkey dangerous that they have both good matcha and desserts in one spot because you'll want both every time. Between the drinks, the food, and how nice the staff was, this was one of the better café experiences I've had in a while and I'd definitely come back.

    I got the chance to try Finjān Coffee at a mobile booth they ran for an Eid event I attended. It was so delicious that I will absolutely seek out their shops whenever I get the chance! I tried their karak tea (a milk tea with spices and sugar) and it was absolutely delicious! I also tried their baklava (pistachio and walnut) and both were great. Their knafeh, however, was standout. I had never tried kanafeh before but I got to have it fresh and warm and it was divine! (It's a dessert with shredded phyllo dough, a cheesy base, a floral syrup, and pistachios--it was really lovely!)

    I don't drink coffee but am a sweets fanatic so stopped by Finjan to try the seasonal walnut baklava latte. The space is bright, airy and shared with the Tahini restaurant run by the same owners. As far as coffee shop locales go, this one didn't have the cozy, intimate nooks that I'd prefer if planning to stay a while but I was getting To Go so no biggie. There's a lot of cinnamon in this drink, so be sure you're a fan of that before ordering. The iced latte was unique, and I did enjoy some pleasing nutty, spiced notes that reminded me of baklava indeed.

    Stopped by Finjan because I wanted Turkish coffee but realized the coffee comes in a very small cup so I opted for the hot pistachio latte while my husband go there iced version. They ran out of that original baklava so we tried their seasonal walnut baklava. Not too sweet and walnut wasn't overpowering it. Paired well with the latte very well. I love how they have their own in house syrup you can ask to adjust the sweetness. Love the decor and cups/plates used. Will be back to try other drink.

    So excited this coffee shop opened right by me! Been here a few times, including their grand opening weekend and finally decided to post a review. Finjan shares its space with a Mediterranean eatery named Tahini, I believe they're owned by the same owners? There was ample parking in the lot so parking was not an issue. Love the ambiance at the Finjan side, it's kind of like a soft boho modern vibe with a few tables. They will announce your order when it's ready on the intercom and there's outdoor seating making this pet friendly. My favorite drinks were their seasonal Walnut Baklava latte and their pistachio matcha. Their syrup is fresh and house made! I love that their drinks are not overly sweet like some cafes. I'm obsessed with their pistachio baklava, it is a little on the pricier side though! Just a heads up, there typically is a wait for their drinks to be made on the weekends.

    IG: rs.Albright TikTok: m.Albright The pistachio latte was PERFECT. I was up all day and it was super flavorful. I also enjoyed the yogurt parfait, it was a good balance of sweetness! the staff was really nice too and helpful with my questions. The interior is super pretty. It's next to tahini and both of the decor matches each other well! I would definitely come back! Tons of parking too!

    Walnut Baklawa Latte *SEASONAL SPECIAL*

    Finjan coffee shares a space with Tahini located in a strip mall with Food 4 Less and various restaurants. There were several people using their laptops and enjoying their coffees upon our arrival. We checked out their menu which included coffees and light bites as well as baklava. I mean who could resist baklava?! Fresh!!! And, it's right near the cash register, lol! We ordered a walnut latte and a vanilla bean latte and, of course, a walnut baklava and a pistachio baklava. No pictures of the baklava we scarfed them down!!! The lattes were delicious, so creamy and foamy. Like a big hug is a cup, what a treat!! Side note, did not get the name of the gal that helped us but she was very helpful in narrowing down which latte I should try. Can't wait to try other items!!

    So excited another location opened just ten minutes away from me! Their coffee hours are a bit shorter than the Kearny Mesa location but I love the atmosphere no less. It's got a clean aesthetic with modest amount of indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered the crispy kunafah (ate it so fast we forgot to take a picture haha because it was THAT good) and the vanilla bean latte, which was exquisite. I'm in the area a lot so looking forward to coming back more often. Hoping they grow further and open up many more locations across the county and beyond.

The coffee itself is decent, though not particularly memorable. Unfortunately, the service is where this place falls short. The staff came across as unwelcoming and inconvenienced by customers simply placing an order for an already expensive coffee. During my visit, employees were openly discussing customers, using profanity, and creating an atmosphere that felt more dismissive than hospitable. In a market where coffee shops are everywhere, service is what sets a business apart. I'd rather get a mediocre cup of coffee from Starbucks on University and be greeted with genuine appreciation than pay premium prices and feel like an interruption. I hope management takes this feedback seriously, because the location and concept have potential. As it stands, the customer experience leaves a lot to be desired. If you're going to talk about your customers, go into the back like a normal disrespectful disenchanted individual. I sooooooo want to like the place but Do better.
