    New Fave Iced Coffee: The Lemon Poppyseed Shaken Espresso If you are in Spring Valley/La Mesa area, you have to stop by and try this drink. I was able to peek the inside from their drive thru line and the seating and space looks very comfortable. The drive thru line itself is a huge plus for me when on-the-go before work/errands. Getting back to the drink, I did order this iced with Oat Milk and half sweet -- It is so delicious My coworkers were even surprised at how much they liked it because of the lemon. Me personally? I love anything with lemon in it. Well balanced, tasty, not too much... just right and strong to get you through the day!

    I was recommended here by a friend and came on a Sunday and the drive thru line was insane. It like wrapped around. So I parked thinking I could go in but the inside was closed. Not sure if it's every Sunday or just that day. I was sad to leave and not get to try. I came back today a Friday morning and the line was just as long. I opted to go in and so glad I did. I ordered the white chocolate mocha blended cold brew with caramel drizzle and it was so good! Now I understand the long lines! They have so many good drink and food options to select from. The inside is so cute and so perfect to catch up with a friend or on work emails or just relax and enjoy a coffee. The workers were friendly and fast. I waited maybe 5 minutes for my drink. The inside was pretty busy as well. This is definitely somewhere I plan to come back to again.

    Loaded pickle tots

    The service was amazing and the young woman taking my order recommended the pickle tots after I wanted to try the regular tots with the pickle dip, what a good genuine upsell!!! The moonlight magic latte was soooo good and was perfectly balanced, I could make out each individual flavor profile. The drive thru was busy but was constantly flowing and the service inside the cafe didn't feel rushed at all, order came out quickly and well made, I will definitely be back to try more signature lattes and enjoy the cafe ambiance.

    This is probably my 3/4th visit. Every single drink I've gotten from here never disappoints. From the banana espresso, to the chocolate shake, mochas and the cookie butter chai I had today - so good! And the service is always pleasant, so far always friendly ! The food is very good too, have no complaints. I will say the sausage in the breakfast sandwich is too sweet. But the steak Sammy's are very good! This place is definitely chill vibes! Would definitely come here again and again! (Especially love the drive thru!)

    I don't even know where to begin, everything we ordered was top-notch. Every single coffee and dish was amazing, and I'll definitely be coming back. The seasonal menu was incredible, and honestly, I wish I could give more than five stars. And the tater tots? Absolute fire. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area, don't sleep on this place!

    I was looking for a new drive-thru coffee spot and was lucky enough to find this gem pretty close to me. Not only do they have tons of delicious hot and iced drink options, but they also carry the best selection of breakfast and lunch items as well. Everything i've had here so far has been absolutely delicious and I can't help but tell everyone I know about this place. The inside dining is spacious and very modern. The service is always quick as possible and friendly. If you like bold flavors, i'd recommend the BLTA chipotle bagel sammy. Best sandwich i've ever had, hands down. I don't think you could go wrong with anything you choose though. The drive-thru/parking lot situation can be tough on a busy day, since it's tucked in a small corner right off the freeway but it's more than worth it. Don't forget to ask for a punch card to earn free drinks!

    Dirty Harry Latte
    Michael N.

    Stopped by Gladly Coffee--not really a big coffee guy, but this place surprised me. The Chimichurri steak sandwich was the highlight. Really solid--great flavor, good portion, and cooked right. Stopped by here to get my Grill coffee, did not expect the food to be filling, but it was. Tried the Dirty Harry Latte even though coffee's not really my thing, and it was actually pretty good. Service was great. Overall, came for a quick bite and ended up impressed. Definitely worth it, especially for the food.

    Two girls clearly that didn't go through the drive through to get their food or drinks... but yet I was told Only drive through way open..

    Came on Mother's Day.... Because I was really Looking forward to grabbing some coffee on my day... I guess they didn't have the inside open only drive way... tried to come inside to order a drink because I didn't know but I guess they weren't open inside... I seen two people outside so I didn't think there were close.. the lady seemed to have gotten drinks for these people who were clearly not in the drive through either... the lady sees that I clearly got dropped off with my daughter but yet seemed to have gotten a drink for these people... (as we walked up she was taking there order) so that's why we proceeded to walk up because the lady was taking there order... the lady didn't even apologized or say anything to me... she has black hair and her hair in a bun.. she comes to give the people there drinks and food BUT WERE CLEARLY NOT IN THE DRIVE THROUGH LIKE SHE TOLD ME.... Super sad because it's Mother's Day and the worked clearly didn't care at all to even say sorry Used to love this place but after this never AGAIN. My daughter made a comment about it being open inside because she saw the worker bring two girls there food and drinks.. she just gives my daughter a really mean look instead of just saying I'm so sorry... obviously there was an exception for these people but not everybody... so sad the way the worker talked us and looked at my daughter Used to love this place but never again... She could have easily explained the situation to us but clearly was annoyed that we tried to walk in Sunday - (DT Only) but clearly you see the people with there food and drinks also this was around 12:30 pm on Sunday

    First time here. Beautiful space indoors, lots of seating options both indoors and outdoors! It was PACKED on a Saturday morning, both inside and the drive through. The staff is fast, which I appreciate! We ordered the bees knees latte and the lemon poppyseed shaken espresso and both were delicious!!! Will be back for sure.

    iced red velvet mocha
    Elyanna C.

    i love this coffee shop, out of all the times i've gone i've never been disappointed, and the workers are always very kind. They have a great working environment, and have comfortable seating options, they overall just have a very cute and cozy vibe, and also sell merch if your interested in that. The drinks are amazing and to die for, the red velvet iced mocha is amazing and has a perfect balance of flavors. they also have very tasty food options and their grilled cheese is amazing, it has the perfect amount of cheese and overall just an amazing flavor, i would 1000% recommend this place any day:)

    Any update on the opening date?

    I don't think there is one, it's just hang on in the meantime. I'm sure they'll toss one out.

    Is the inside close to being open yet? Hating the drive thru situation since someone always seems to cut me. TY ☺️

    This will probably be one of my quickest reviews because ordering a smoothie has never been easier…read more There is an ordering kiosk near the register so employees can focus on making drinks. I ordered a medium Strawberry Surf Rider with mango added. My husband got the small Apples and Greens smoothie. There is also a free boost you can add to each smoothie, so we both chose multivitamins. It was packed in there, which made sense. It was a hot Sunday and what better way to cool down and start your morning than with a smoothie. There was some construction going on in the plaza, but it did not affect the inside vibe. Seating is limited though. We waited about 10 minutes before my name was called. An employee let us know they were out of multivitamins. The only boosts left were protein, soy protein, and energy. We decided to go with energy. I do wish I got the multivitamins because working in a school setting means you want all the extra nutrients you can get. I was a little nervous the energy boost would keep me up and ruin my Sunday reset nap, but I still knocked out later, so it was not an overwhelming amount of caffeine. The Apples and Greens smoothie was really good and refreshing. It was balanced and did not lean too sweet from the apples or too grassy/earthy from the greens. My Strawberry Surf Rider fell a little short on flavor. This is usually my go to order and it normally tastes like a frozen strawberry lemonade. This time it was more ice and water forward with less tartness and sweetness. I am not sure if adding mango changed the balance, but it was still refreshing overall. I am glad this is my neighborhood Jamba juice as the employees were killing it!

    Tried their breakfast sandwich for the first time, ordered easily via the Jamba app. Pick up was…read morequick and easy, staff very friendly. I wasn't a fan of the sandwich itself, tasted more like turkey sausage and the Swiss cheese didn't pair well. The sandwich is pretty small for $4.
