    2 banana bread lattes & peanut butter cup latte Bacon breakfast burrito
    Ramona A.

    I love a fast drive thru service and it's rare to have one for coffee in San Diego. I found this hidden gem after my Pilates class and I was intrigued at the unique menu. I got the banana bread latte and bacon burrito. The latte was a bit strong for my liking and lacked the banana flavor. However, the burrito was good with the salsa! I'd go back to try their matcha for sure. Also they do military! So that's a plus IG: rs.albright TikTok: m.Albright

    While on a recent trip to San diego, I stopped by this recommended coffee spot on my way to see a friend. When I travel I try to avoid going to the chain coffee establishments and do a chance to the local small businesses in my morning coffee fix. Lazy Eye Coffee has a couple of locations with this one is a very humble setup and the parking lot of a small plaza in the Claremont neighborhood of San Diego This one offers both drive through and walk up options order coffee. Is quite a busy morning so there was a bit of a way since there was only one person working. The staff member was very friendly and despite being overwhelmed with a bunch of orders, she remained calm and was able to get all of our orders as fast as possible I ordered an iced banana bread coffee and it was delicious. Definitely must order if you could stop by this spot. There's plenty of parking since it's in a plaza but if you're going on the weekend expect to wait a little bit but it's definitely worth it.

    Banana Bread Latte
    Trevor T.

    Wife was in need of coffee desperately. She wanted the shop to be in the Claremont Mesa area and desired a banana bread latte. Lazy Eye Coffee to the rescue! In BayHo(wife was like "where the hell are we going?!?") and next to Chef Jun which is becoming our favorite sushi spot. Lazy Eye Coffee has a lil shack in the middle of the parking lot and moved pretty quickly for how busy it was. Wife said the latte was good, but couldn't really taste the banana bread. She was definitely happy to have some caffeine running through her system. Phew!

    Vanilla bean latte

    Super cute coffee shop sweet lady who owns it/was helping us! The vanilla bean latte was delish highly rec!

    Agave cinnamon latte

    Agave cinnamon latte, great rich taste, not too sweet. Cinnamon roll, throw it in the microwave for 10 secs and it's delicious. So gooey and soft.

    Iced banana bread latte!
    Rochelle S.

    The barista was super sweet despite it being busy at the drive thru and window! I appreciated her starting a conversation and being present through the chaos. I got the iced banana bread latte, very tasty and on the sweeter side, I also got the bacon burrito that was honestly very filling and came with salsa! Always a nice spot to stop when I am in the area :)

    Ok... the wait is worth it! We chose the drive through and was wondering why it takes a bit but.... It's worth it. Amanda is so kind and charming. We were just going to get a plain Americano and a cold brew. But she explained to us that all the sweeteners are house made. We chose Banana Bread Latte and Vanilla Lavender latte. You guys... these are DELICIOUS. I need to chug my water bc I will chug this whole cup in 2 minutes. It's so good. We're from LA. But next time we're down here we will definitely make a quick stop again. Thank you so much Amanda and Lazy Eye for changing our lives with your amazing coffee!

    This small little drive through coffee shop is the coolest thing I've seen! I love it. The customer service is great and they're very helpful. The pastries were fresh and so was the coffee. I ordered a vanilla lavender latte and it was delicious.

    Visited this coffee shop after a morning workout. I had the vanilla latte and a sausage burrito which were both great. The barista was very friendly!

    Came here to try their banana bread coffee and bfast burrito! Coffee was a 4/5 and burrito was meh, not what I was expecting. I'd come back for their coffee though! Very affordable prices for everything

I ordered the Island Girl Coffee, a macadamia latte, and asked for it less sweet. To me, it tasted very similar to a flavored hazelnut latte from Starbucks. Even with reduced sweetness, it was still sweeter than I prefer and had a slightly artificial flavor. If you enjoy flavored Starbucks-style coffee, you'll probably like it, but it's just not my personal preference. I actually didn't finish my drink because the flavor wasn't for me. That said, the cashier was very sweet, and the dessert display looked beautiful and tempting. While the coffee didn't win me over, I'd still come back to give their desserts a try since they looked much more appealing than the drink I ordered. Overall, a nice spot with friendly service, but next time I'll be skipping the flavored coffee and trying one of the desserts instead.

The crunchy waffle cone crumbles on top added a nice texture and made each bite even better. We also wanted to try the mango mochi balls, but we got there later in the evening and someone bought the last order right before we checked out. Talk about bad timing! We ended up trying the matcha mochi balls instead. I'm personally not a matcha fan, so they weren't for me, but if you enjoy matcha, you'll probably like them. My sister was more than happy to finish them for me. Next time I'll definitely come earlier so I can snag the mango mochi before someone else beats me to it!
