I don't come here often enough, but crave it all the time--and I'm not even a big coffee drinker. While it is definitely worth the trek from Escondido, I simply wish I were closer for convenience reasons. They have a small menu, but that's why everything they roast is so damn good! They NEVER miss. Best decaf vanilla latte I've ever had. They're pretty quick too, but not sure if it's because every time I go there's barely anyone there. It's a small shop with a few tables, but seems like a good spot to study or catch up with a loved one.

Have you seen when Harry Meets Sally? If not, you should. When it comes to coffee, I'm Sally. Ok, when it comes to a lot of food...I digress. I ordered a half sweet non fat three shot regular size Mayan Mocha (I don't like too sweet) and it did not disappoint. As he roasts his own beans you know it's going to be good. And smooth. And tasty. Maybe not the best place to work out of (a little small) but goodness, tasty tasty coffee. And a delightful gentleman behind the counter who was extremely nice to assist me with all my (not picky at all) requests.

Ridiculously mid iced vanilla latte.. Literally tastes like the generic vanilla coffee creamer you get from the grocery store. Also this is how my drink came out when my only specification was extra ice.

There's very limited seating here, but plenty of parking, which is convenient. Because the space is small, there's usually just one barista working, so service can be a bit slow--but the wait is generally manageable. The latte I ordered was good. I've visited a couple of times, and the experience with the baristas has been hit or miss--some visits they're warm and friendly, other times not as much. There's only a small amount of outdoor seating, but the overall vibe is relaxed and chill. I'd definitely come back.

This place has great coffee, I'd definitely come back again. We ordered the white mocha and honey cinnamon, and both flavors were good without overpowering the coffee. It's a small place with very limited seating so it's more of a grab and go spot for coffee. The person working was friendly and helpful.

Solid, straight forward and quick first time. Was in the area around lunch and needed a caffeine boost. Service was nice from the gentleman working. Ordered the Vanilla iced latte. Was good, not too sweet, and gave me the energy I needed. Was in and out in 5 min or so.

Errin S.

Super friendly service, and quite patient with me on first time here trying to decide what to try first. I went with the Mayan mocha (iced, because why not), and it is delicious! Rich espresso cuts through all the other flavors. But the cocoa and light chili combination bring out all sorts of feels. The store front is small but clean and modern, which I was told is because they use most of their space in the back to actually roast their beans on site. Overall a great local shop that I'll be sure to try again!

My Baby Girl was visiting San Diego this weekend to help celebrate my birthday, so whenever she visits, we try to get a morning workout in. After getting our fitness on, my daughter wanted to grab a coffee, so I asked her where she wanted to go. After looking at Yelp, she was able to find a local coffee shop that had a high rating. This was our first time experiencing coffee from Idego Coffee Roasters and I thought my hot white chocolate mocha was one of the better tasting versions I've had in our area, but an opportunity area was their customer service. Idego is located in Poway, CA. and it can be reached by taking the 15 freeway exiting off of Poway Road and heading east. You'll find the coffee shop in the Michael's and Grocery Outlet shopping center just before Community Road. Idego is next to Sushi Monster, Jersey Mike's Subs, and Five Guys. There's a Little Caesar's a few doors down from the coffee joint and it's across the street from Wing Stop. There is plenty of parking in this shopping center. Idego is not a big shop with three tables/chairs, ledge top seating next to one of the walls, and there's covered umbrella outdoor seating. As you enter, you'll immediately notice a mural of the world with colored countries, which I'm assuming outlines the areas where the type of coffee Idego serves can be found. There was a young lady and middle aged man working behind the counter who were busy preparing coffee for other customers. I asked the young lady about their Mayan coffee flavor and I didn't feel she was too friendly. Idego doesn't have an extensive menu and after seeing a small display of pastries, the shop appears to just focus on serving coffee. It doesn't have an extensive menu and what it serves are Espresso drinks, Specialty coffees, Iced coffees, Other drinks, and Not coffee. On their counter, there was a worn paper detailing the following flavors scratch made by them: vanilla, chocolate ganache, dairy free chocolate, white chocolate, Mayan, and lavender. After perusing their menu, I ordered a large White Chocolate Mocha. When my name was called to grab my coffee, the gentlemen barista beautifully made what looked like a layered heart on the top of my coffee. When I asked for a sleeve, they had none to offer. Despite not having an accessory for hot drinks, my first taste of the white chocolate mocha had a slight bitter coffee bean taste, but I thought after taking sip after sip on our drive to do errands, my coffee drink was flavorful and rich. It was creamy, the coffee flavor was distinct, and I really enjoyed my first ever coffee order from Idego. If you're looking to try a coffee spot that isn't one of the Java chains, you have to give Idego a try. I love supporting small businesses like Idego and if I'm in the area, I would order another White Chocolate Mocha or try that Mayan flavored coffee, but you'll generate more repeat customers if you focus on welcoming customer service.

The vanilla latte here is so good!! It's smooth, velvety, and has a subtle nuttiness to it that I enjoy! The inside is casual and on the smaller side so it's a better place for grab and go coffee than a study spot. Not the warmest/friendliest service but gave us good recs and coffee came out quickly!

dont sleep on the vanilla latte! my bf and i agree its the best vanilla latte we've had in a while. it doesn't just taste like vanilla syrup, it feels well balanced and fragrant!

Perfectly crafted latte -- beautiful latte art, ideal temperature, and a smooth, rich coffee flavor that hits just right.

A must-visit local gem! Idego Coffee in Poway is hands down the best little local, owner-operated coffee spot in town. The owner roasts his own beans right in the shop -- you can even watch the roasting process through the window, which makes it such a unique experience. The coffee is incredible -- consistent, fresh, rich, and full of flavor. The atmosphere is nondescript but friendly and relaxed -- perfect for sitting down to work, chat with a friend. We usually enjoy the tables outside :) Definitely a must-go if you appreciate great coffee and a genuine local vibe!

Cute coffee shop. Pleasant interaction with the staff. Very minimalist decor. Great coffee. I really enjoyed it and love supporting local businesses. The employee was very efficient and friendly. A lot of people were in and out while I was here, and he didn't back up the line or anything. He was cashiering and making that coffee on expert level. Total one man show. Very clean shopping center. Several outdoor tables with umbrellas. Dog friendly. I would definitely return. Good service, good vibes, great coffee. Doesn't get any better than this! Highly recommended. read more

I visited here about a couple weeks back and the service was friendly and I like the minimalistic menu approach because it allows for options to be concise and well perfected. The drink I ordered which was the mocha tasted great and my only wish was that there was more of it, I'm not big on ice but I was hoping that either the drink would have enough ice cubes to push it to the top or more drink because the drink was 80% filled but anytime you get a drink and it's less then fill you kinda feel like your missing part of the drink in the beginning. Either way drink was great and a nice interior atmosphere read more

I can't believe the knowledge and passion that drives this coffee shop. You cannot find an espresso shot more dialed in within the county. Rich, buttery, smooth. Go with the Cortado first, and get a latte with an add shot to go. Best way to start my day. I can't believe we can get this kind of fix in Poway. read more

Without a doubt the best cup of coffee one can find in San Diego. The vanilla latte is so creamy, but light, and you can easily tell they make their own syrups. My one wish in life is that they were located closer to where I live, but at least I work nearby. It is perfection. read more

I was kind of disappointed here. I love supporting local coffee places everywhere I go. I just wanted a vanilla latte. Simple and sweet. I spoke to the barista, and he was very kind. I even added a tip, and the total was like $7. I was expecting a generous size coffee for that price. What i got was sad. It was a small coffee. I was done with it after a few sips. It might as well have been expresso shots. I will not be back. I don't mind spending money on coffee, but the value seems to be lacking here. It didn't even have anything special added to it except a little design on top. read more

Great coffee at an even greater price. This coffee shop is tucked away within a semi-busy shopping center in Poway. The interior is relatively spacious and never too busy when I go to find an open seat. Nothing too over the top with so many frills and decorations like some coffee shops, and I think that fits the vibe for this place. Coffee being the main highlight, they offer a simple menu with well-priced coffee options from cold-brews to pour overs to lattes. I usually go for the Mayan Mocha as of recently, mainly for it's spicy-esque chocolate flavor. Service has always been attentive and straight-forward, and they can really help you steer in the right way if you're stuck on choosing options. I also love the added touch of detail with coffee art in the hot drinks which really helps go hand in hand with the great taste. Consideration how close this location is to me, it's one of my regular coffee run spots in the area, and I will continue coming by! read more

I swung by Idego Coffee Roasters this morning for the first time. I am more of a seasonal drinks kind of person so I opted for their pumpkin spice latte, iced. My drink was 6.20 and I don't remember if there were other sizes. I absolutely loved my drink. Most of my experiences with pumpkin spice have been that they were too sweet and not much spice. Overall, it is a cute coffee shop tucked away in Poway with lots of parking. The staff here was friendly, and I look forward to visiting them again! read more

I have been to every coffee roaster between downtown and Carlsbad and this one is my favorite. Particularly because they make the best lattes. Perfect milk, perfect house made syrups and a great balance of expresso. This is a simple shop with a few tables, not much of a lounging place but the coffee is worth it. There isn't a huge menu but I highly recommend the Mayan Mocha and getting your drinks warm. read more

While I waited for my order, I went next-door to See's candy. I was craving fudge. I returned about 2 to 3 minutes after my order and my order was ready. The service was great...

The overall experience (staff, variety/availability, drink quality) was incredibly disappointing because I hear great things about this place. There were quite a bit of people in there, so I'm sure it's great at times. Settling for the Vietnamese Iced Coffee as 1 of our 2 drinks, sadly it was mostly ice. The drink was done in a few sips. It felt like the cup was filled with ice and then put the coffee in. Don't get me wrong, the drink was good and the coffee was strong. The other drink was the Creme Brulee Latte. If you like the sugar un-bruleed, this is the drink for you. I saw the top was torched for a few seconds, but the drink was still in the tiny sugar crystals. The coffee part is also nice and strong, though the drink is not as sweet as it sounds. Overall, lack-luster and expensive for the $7.60 - Large.

The team was super friendly, personable, patient with our questions, and accommodating of our customization requests. We ordered iced hojicha tea lattes. I got it with oat milk, my spouse got it with half and half. I think it is pretty rare for non-Asian places to have hojicha! It was good! We want to come back and try other items. You stand in line to order at a counter but I think you can also order online. I love how there is an option to order "for here". We got a # to take to our seat and they delivered our drinks to the table directly. And in glass (for cold drinks)! No plastic! Huge differentiator! There was seating inside and outside. Inside felt bustling and jovial. Outside felt a bit more relaxed and less loud. The tables are pretty close together but still nice to have casual conversation. I loved sitting outside! It was relatively shaded and warm. This is a gem! We look forward to returning soon.

I never write reviews but I visited on Sunday and it was such an odd experience I had to write and hope that things will change. The vibe was great, there was a DJ playing cool tunes, my coffee and food was excellent - but while I was waiting in line to order the blond man at the register was acting somewhat erratic. He had an extremely Foul mouth, I didn't appreciate that since I had my kids with me, and it was just unprofessional as well. He kept talking to the people on bar and was drinking coffee while "helping" people at the register. It was behavior I've never seen or dealt with at any cafe. Even some of his coworkers seemed uncomfortable with his behavior. Jaunt, please do better and fix this. I'm not sure if I'll be back with my kids because of it. 5 stars because I really do love this place and the drinks and food are fantastic.

Literally my favorite off the menu, but decided to try something new. I got the pina cold brew that had Yuzu, Pineapple and coconut cold foam. Interesting combo with so many flavors that test your taste buds. If you're looking for a nice summer drink, I suggest trying this one out. Another drink i got was the Vanilla with banana cold foam with toffee. The banana cold foam literally taste like a frozen banana, crazy right? Cold foam is perfect right amount of sweetness with that strong banana flavor. Place can be packed over the weekend, so arrive early or expect a little wait, but generally it moves fast. The pastries are very popular along with the Empanadas. The strawberry orange (GF) Muffin was good. Moist, flavorful and perfect pairing of both flavors.

There were only two people in front of me, yet nine people stacked up behind me while we all stood there waiting. One person was making drinks, which is understandable.

He would take one order, then turn around and continue organizing pastries, while the line barely moved. Standing for 20 minutes just to order a coffee is unacceptable, especially when staffing is present but poorly managed. The coffee may be good, but the service breakdown makes it hard to justify stopping by anymore. I really hope management addresses this, because the customer experience is going downhill fast.

I see they've revamped the walls upstairs and seem to have added more seatings too. I noticed they have a water dispensary area which is self serve. There's also a QR code for the menu, but I went ahead and searched the menu online and was helped by Tristan when all my friends have already placed their orders. He made sure to ask how I wanted my eggs done and if I wanted to add anything else. But also orders can be placed using the scanned QR if a server hasn't had a chance to check on your table. I ordered the avocado Benedict with hash. My friends ordered the chilaquiles and french toast, and a bunch others that I didn't get to take a pic of. However, I was able to try the chilaquiles, and the steak on that was so flavorful, the tortilla chips were nice and crispy, and the sauce in the bottom had a slight kick to it but with the mix of crema it helped balanced out perfectly. As for the cinnamon brioche french toast, that was one of the best French toast I've had in a while. Nice and crispy but still fluffy in the middle, with that nice cinnamon flavor, topped with whipped cream and berries. As for my order of the avocado Benedict. You can choose how you want your eggs cooked, and I had mine poached. Can def. Add other proteins to the dish with extra charge, but I wanted to keep it as is. The brioche bread was fluffy and buttery like too, it was great for absorbing some of that hollandaise sauce and yolk. My friends also ordered two bottles for mimosas. We had lychee and mango syrup/puree and it gave such a tropical and summer vibe. We also ended our meal with some desserts. We had the cream puff ube, cake choc brownie, and cheesecake caramel apple. My fav. Out of the three, was the cake choc brownie. I think I would be able to eat two of those if I wasn't full. Just loved how the chocolate mousse on the top melted in the mouth, but also that brownie isn't the typical brownie texture. It has a crisp to it. The mousse and crispiness just melts so deliciously together. I should've ordered another for takeout. Service was great despite it looking busy. Food didn't take too long to come out either. But we also did dine in at a decent time too. We had such a good time, especially for my friends who tried it out for the first time. I see they also have a dinner menu now. Maybe we'll come back to try that next time!

By far the best thing I've had from this place is the tiramisu. The tiramisu I had was amaaaazing! Super fresh, not too sweet, and not too strong! Perfect layers and they were adequately portioned. The service was a bit slow but perhaps we went at a slow time but overall it's not a bad place to get a small dessert. Coffee wasn't stellar so I'll pass on the coffee next time.

In fact even if you don't live here you should stop by. You won't regret it. If you want mediocre pastries that do nothing but scratch your sweet tooth, there are dozens of places out there that are happy to do the bare minimum. Donutopolis in Poway is not one of those places. For the same price if not better than their competitors you will received not only some of the best donuts you have ever eaten, from flawless classics to innovative specialties, you will also receive so of the best customer service you have ever had at a donut shop, or most other restaurants for that matter. The staff have made their small corner store into a friendly and comfortable place to pickup treats for your events or sit down for a fulfilling breakfast any day of the week, and with special made-to-order treats for larger events, such as their giant birthday donut, Donutopolis is your one stop shop for all your donut needs. A personal favorite of mine is their maple bacon bar which I can comfortably say is the single best maple bacon donut I have ever had, and they are consistent. In fact once when I went in to get one before work they were sold out, and when I asked if they had any the baker offered to make me one right then and there. For no extra cost he didn't just sprinkle bacon bits on a plain maple bar and call it a day, he used fresh maple icing to glue the bits onto the bar, a bit of extra effort that I truly appreciated as I had to eat it on the go. It's the little things like that which show me that the people running this store and making these donuts aren't just doing the bare minimum, they care about their craft and they are dedicated to bringing you fresh and delicious donuts every time you visit, never cutting corners and never disappointing.

I'm sure a lot of people like it but I found the donut very dry and lacking flavor…read more The staff was kind though, he even let me take away without the extra .10 for the glazed old fashioned.

Stopped by Idego Coffee Roasters this morning and boy oh boy, what a hidden gem in Poway! I ordered an iced vanilla latte, and let me tell you... it was everything you want in a morning pick-me-up. Ice-cold, lightly sweet, smooth as silk, and beautifully balanced between bold espresso and creamy vanilla. Not too sweet, not too bitter, just right. Think of it as the coffee equivalent of a well-delivered mic drop. The vibe here? Super chill. Nothing corporate or over-polished, just a clean, simple, welcoming space that feels like your neighborhood's best-kept secret. No flashy branding or pretentious menu boards. Just good coffee, good people, and good energy. The employees were quick, kind, and on top of it. Professional without feeling scripted, helpful without hovering. It was one of those rare mornings where everything just worked, from the parking to the last sip of that glorious latte. If you're anywhere near Poway and need a caffeine fix that won't disappoint, this is your spot. Whether you're posting up with a laptop or grabbing something to-go, Idego nails it without trying too hard. And honestly, we need more places like that. read more
