    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

    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.

Once I saw they offered a Tokyo Banana Latte during the bakery cafe hours, it was a no brainer to come back the next morning for breakfast. ASA was easy to find. The line was almost to the door when we arrived, but it moved at a fair pace. They offer a good variety of pastries, matchas, coffees, baguettes, and even some lunch sandwiches. I also love that they stay open later than your typical bakery, so it's a nice option whether you want breakfast, an afternoon coffee, or something later in the day. You select your pastries cafeteria style before ordering your drinks at the register. We got two baguettes, the Spicy Sausage and the Caviar. Both had that crispy, slightly harder baguette texture that gave them a really nice crunch. The Spicy Sausage had a good amount of heat with a savory, meaty filling that paired really well with the bread. If you like fish roe, I definitely recommend the Caviar Baguette. It was buttery with that rich salty umami flavor you get from fish roe without tasting overly fishy. For drinks, we tried two of the seasonal lattes advertised on flyers throughout the bakery, the Blueberry Muffin Latte and of course the Tokyo Banana Latte. These were easily the highlights of our visit. The Blueberry Muffin Latte had a delicate blueberry flavor with a delicious creamy topping that actually reminded me of a blueberry pastry. The Tokyo Banana Latte had a thick, rich banana cream on top with a slightly salty finish sprinkled over it. The banana flavor was noticeable without being artificial or overly sweet. Both lattes were really balanced, creamy, and delicious. After trying ASA at night and coming back for the bakery the next morning, I'm really glad we got to experience both sides of the spot.
