Food was amazing. The croissant sandwich changed my life. Staff were so nice and accommodating. Loved it here.

What a cute little, hidden coffee shop. They have a few tables inside, a few counter spots, and outdoor seating. I ordered the OG kraveman and it didn't disappoint. I also ordered the southern comfort. Don't let them tell you that you don't need a fork and knife for this thing! It is not going to fit in your mouth. But once it does or is it delicious Parking is limited. They have 3 spots that are 15 minutes or less. The area can be a bit rough. Overall, a great little coffee shop would definitely recommend read more

Stopped by Local Krave Cafe for breakfast and tried the Keto Bowl, San Diego Burrito, and an OG Crave Man Coffee. The San Diego Burrito was the standout, and the Keto Bowl was fresh and flavorful. Coffee was solid, and the service was excellent. The employee helping us was friendly, made great recommendations, and created a welcoming experience. A couple of small things: our food came out before our drinks, and I would have preferred the drinks first. Also, there aren't many food photos inside the cafe. Since people eat with their eyes, showcasing more menu items could help drive sales. The outdoor seating area has a nice, relaxed vibe, though parking can be a little difficult. Overall, good food, great service, and a spot I'd visit again. The San Diego Burrito alone is worth coming back for. read more

Omg. Please open another location in North County! Escondido needs you! My girlfriends found this spot for breakfast & I honestly did not expect to love it as much as I did. I even went back a few days after. Banana Kraveman: Light banana chunks. Creamy & smooth. Love at First Bite: A classic! Nutella & strawberries on their perfect Croissant loaf, get this! The Bravocado: You must add Candied Bacon, it is insanely delicious. Perfect sandwich combo with avocado. It is located in an apartment building, next to F45. The parking lot is a bit confusing with some signs saying tenants only, & I think a few signs for F45. None are designated for Local Krave, but we parked there & were fine. read more

Came in randomly when stopping at Blick. The spot is cute but check the hours before you stop in. We came out to PL/Blick over the weekend and the location closed at 2pm. We were so sad to miss the goods. The food is fresh and delicious. The coffee was so unique. On top of it the team was helpful and understanding with the kiddos running around. Overall we'll be back but hopefully during business hours. read more

Local Krave - Classic whipped Vietnamese - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Came here after a local run at nearby Liberty Station. The restaurants at Liberty Station were super crowded so Yelp steered us to this place with great reviews. The menu is great with a lot of options, but I would note firstly that this isn't really a sit-down restaurant with no servers (order at the counter and wait for your food to be called). The location is tucked away behind a larger business and feels most like a coffee shop with a lot of takeaway orders however there is a small amount of inside seating and some outside seating. Now to the food - they have açaí/keto/yogurt bowls as well as toasts, leige waffles,, egg sandwiches and breakfast burritos. They also have fancy coffees and espressos. All and all a good food experience and friendly staff. read more

My friends surprised me with breakfast here and it was soooo delicious! Definitely a hidden gem. It's located right next to F45 attached to an apartment building. There is free parking available in the lot and on the street. The cafe itself is pretty small with about 3-4 tables inside and a few outside as well. Service was quick and the food was bomb. Definitely recommend this spot if you're in the area. Food/drink review: Matcha: (3.5/4 out of 5) It was very strong, but tasted a lot better once sweetener was added. Iced chai: (5/5) I ordered it with almond milk. This was some of the best chai I've had. So delicious, will definitely be back. San diegan: (5/5) I was surprised at how delicious this was. The flavors all blended well together. Good sized portion. Candied bacon avocado: (4/5) The candied bacon was a little too sweet and threw off the flavor of the sandwich but it was still delicious! Love at first bite: (4.5/5) If you're looking for something sweet, this is the way to go! It was so yummy. read more

The southern comfort Burito was delicious like so bussin and good. Def need to try it. Coffee had a really earthy flavor sooooo I think this spot is a 10/10 def check it out . read more

Cute local coffee shop that wasn't located too far from our hotel. A steady stream of patrons ordering both online and in person. We got some coffees and breakfast items. The good the breakfast burrito decent filling, nice addition with the cream cheese, the bad the Bravocado the idea was interesting and adding the bacon was great but the bread itself started to unravel so it makes for a messy situation. The best was the liege fruit waffle so satisfying, I wish we would have had more, I'd go back just got this. I'd take this place over a chain coffee shop any day. Check them out next time you're in the mood for a caffeine fix. read more

I've been here twice and this is a hidden gem that I wouldn't have found if it weren't for Yelp. It is located next to F45 and situated adjacent to apartment housing I believe. There is a parking lot with spaces so it's easily accesible both times I went. This breakfast cafe is cozy with some indoor and outdoor seating. The sandwiches I tried were scrumptious (love everything from the soft croissant bread to the insides and also their burrito was fantastic with good salsa!), service was good, and the iced coffees are excellent with a good blend of strength and sweetness. When in the area of Point Loma/Sports Arena, I definitely recommend! read more

Very chill spot. Rather small inside. The coffee was very strong and tasty (caramel macchiato). Good music but overly loud, temperature ok, inside & outside seating. Parking 2 h free in lot. read more

We are addicted to the croissant loaf here. They only sell it in small quantities daily, so it's best to come early or they run out. We initially became customers due to their offering of their version of keto coffee, the OG Kraveman, which my husband gets. Then we saw all the other great menu items they have: lattes, teas, breakfast bowls, toasts, waffles, and grilled cheese sandwiches made with the croissant loaf. That bread is so good. There is some seating inside as well as on the patio, but it's not a lot. The service is great and we do make a point to go when we're in San Diego. read more

Small and modern cafe with industrial interior. The service here was amazing but the food left some to be desired. - San Diegan Burrito ($11.99): A bit small with the portions for a burrito of this price but the mild spicy chipotle sauce was a sweet smokey flavor that went nicely with the burrito. It was a delicious burrito but just wished the portions were a bit bigger. (7/10) - French Toast ($7.99): I liked how it was pre-sliced into bite sized pieces with strawberry and blueberry bits sprinkled on top. The toast was the perfect sweetness but the texture wasn't my favorite. The toast had a tender, crumby bite that wasn't very soft or fluffy. (6/10) - Matcha Latte ($5.99) This drink was a good earthy matcha but they didn't sift their matcha and left some clumps. It also left a weird after taste. (6/10) read more

Stopped by here while we were running errands. Got their Keto Bowl and their Fancy Toast - The Jam and a flat white. The flat white was okay but the food was very tasty! The portions aren't huge but that's okay because the price mirrors that but everything was great. The chipotle sauce on the keto bowl was wonderful and the jam on the toast was nice and sweet. All in all a good place for a quick bite. Will return to try other drinks. Service was fast. It's a small place with cute little tables outside and one or two inside. There is 15 minute parking directly in front but there's also a shopping center across the way so easy to access. read more

Local Krave - The Chorizo and Egg Sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Coffee was bomb, not gonna lie. Skip the food though. I ordered a keto bowl, it sounded really good with the egg and avocado, chorizo, guacamole and chipotle sauce. It took forever for it to come out, and I actually laughed when I opened the container at how sloppy it looked. For $14 are you kidding me? It wouldn't have been so bad if it tasted good, but the egg was cooked so hard it was like a dry pancake. The coffee shop was really cute. A couple seats inside and then a few on an outdoor patio. You can tell that they did put a little effort into making it look cute. The baristas seemed nice enough, but mildly disinterested. Parking in the area was street parking only and difficult. We had to do a couple laps to find a spot. Moral of the story great spot to stop for an awesome coffee if you happen to be right there. Not worth going out of the way for a quick breakfast. And it won't be quick. read more

Needed a place to do some work and get some breakfast and this place delivered. My almond milk latte was delicious. I had the croissant with eggs and artichoke. It was ok, honestly it was an indulgent breakfast for me. I wish they had more variety in their sandwiches but overall it was delicious. A lot of people were ordering the açaí bowl from there. Staff was pleasant and quick. Place was busy while I was there. read more

Sad to say this place disappointed me considering how good it looked online. The matcha I was served unfortunately takes the spot as the worst matcha I've ever been served. It was so incredibly bland and not only that, it tasted like seaweed. Cafes that serve matcha use far less powder than what would warrant a $6 price tag because my drink was not only flavorless, but tasted very watery. I'm not sure what base they used but the ratio had to be 80% water 20% some type of milk. I would say save your money. Besides the matcha, the food also underwhelmed for the price. The burrito was a decent portion and was okay but I think it also could have been more flavorful - a sauce would do great with it. I was looking for hot sauce and noticed they didn't have any out for guests which would have made it a bit better. The toast was good but I think it's a bit overpriced for what it is. Another irritating aspect is they charge 50 cents for a water cup. The employee didn't tell us this when my friend asked for water and it always irks me when they don't tell you about extra charges in advance. Atmosphere is nice. They have indoor and outdoor seating. There's free street parking or you can park in the plaza across and walk over. $26 for our entire order which is pretty standard, but considering quality I don't think it's worth it. read more

Super cute! Was super friendly staff! Not too big of a place... there is some seating inside and especially outside and we loved it. It was not too far from where we stayed and I loved that it was local and not your normal like Starbucks or anything like that. I love supporting businesses that are their own thing. My mocha was so good, I wanted to slap somebody. And I get mochas from a lot of places, this by far has been the best mocha I've ever had. We got down to San Diego on Friday evening and went there Saturday morning and Sunday morning before we headed home back to AZ. I'm from Diego and if I lived down here, I will go here every day. My husband got some type of iced latte and it was sooooo good as well. The breakfast sandwiches as you can see from the pictures, were the bomb.com. Very fresh ingredients and I couldn't even finish it all. If you're in the area go check them out! read more

Local Krave - Deliciousness! Croissant grilled cheese sandwich with cheese, avocado, bacon, strawberry jam. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Love the pesto sandwich & the hazelnut latte! Both are delicious. The service here is typically pretty good too! Well, except the last time we went. The white girl who took our order didn't confirm what we ordered, we tipped, didn't get a receipt (our fault) and moved on. When we got our food, we opened the container, and immediately took it back to exchange the item for what we thought we ordered. Said girl aggressively came up to me and told me what I ordered in a rude manner & walked away before I could say anything. How are you going to tell me what I wanted and what I ordered. Unfortunate that we tipped before any service was started, didn't get a refund for our food, & we were down food. She singlehandedly made my whole store not want to go here for coffee or lunch read more

Local Krave - A Longtime Favorite That Just Keeps Getting Better I've been coming to Local Krave since they first opened, and it's been amazing to see how much they've grown over the years. They moved to a bigger location just across from the original a few years ago, and now they even have a second location! It's always exciting to see a place you love thrive--and Local Krave deserves it. The coffee? Next level. I'm pretty sure they roast their own beans because the quality is consistently amazing. Everything on the menu is made with high-quality ingredients, and you can taste the difference. Even the simplest food items are so well done, but the real standout for me? Their açaí bowl. One of my absolute favorites in San Diego. It's always THICCC and creamy--seriously, how do they do it??? And the granola on top? Chef's kiss. Pure perfection. The owner is super cool and friendly--you can tell he pours a lot of love into what he does, and it really shows in everything, from the drinks to the atmosphere. The new spot is adorable--small but cozy and inviting, making it a great place to catch up with a friend over a coffee and a bite. Whether you're grabbing a quick drink or staying for a while, Local Krave never disappoints. Pro tip: Get the açaí bowl. No questions. Just do it. You'll thank me later. read more

Food -4 Service - 5 Ambiancr - 4.5 Love the iced Vietnamese coffee ! The San Diegan burrito was yummy but potato heavy. It's great if you're starving. Has avocados and egg I think. Yummy sauce on the side. They have a good variety of food from light to heavy. The girl at the counter was nice and helpful with suggestions! Cute inside - few small tables in and out. It's not a large spot so don't bring too big of a crowd. Parking is on the street and I can see it being a challenge to find but it was fine when I went. read more

Food was 4 stars, coffee was 2.5 stars for what I ordered. Let's start with the food. I ordered the waffles and a egg burrito. Both were filling and really good. As for the coffee, my husband got the cold brew and I got the kravemen. I wasn't a fan at all of the coconut oil taste in my coffee. It didn't really taste like coffee. Just like coconut oil. I wouldn't get it again. Place is cute inside. Small with limited seating. Staff was nice tho. Parking is free in the shopping center across the street. No restrooms inside. read more

We ordered two keto bowls, one latte and one americano and the cost was $40 without tip (I tipped $5.00). Pros: coffee had great flavor; customer service was friendly; interior/exterior was clean. Cons: keto bowl had nice flavor, but the presentation and portion size was a joke (see image); egg was overlooked, and the the primary ingredient was egg; cost; waited for about 20 mins from order to receiving the food; no bathroom - closest bathroom is the Vons supermarket. I would probably go back for coffee. read more

Went in one Sunday morning before Kobys. Perfect place to stop. Parking on the street. Loved the attention to detail with sleeves on the cold drinks. Drinks were delicious. Service was great!

My friend and I have loved this place for a couple years as a breakfast treat when we would get the breakfast sandwiches on their waffles. We were bummed out to find that they don't do them on the waffles anymore, but thought we would still try it as a croissant sandwich and a burrito. They were solid, but just missing that extra bit of joy that came from having that sandwich on a waffle. So overall, it's a solid option, but probably now a little more than I want to pay for a breakfast sandwich without that little extra treat. read more

Pros: free parking available in a lot beside the building (I want to say it was good for 2 hours), takeout orders can be placed over the phone or on app, the San Diegan (chorizo, egg, cream cheese, and avocado) breakfast sandwich was great - I thought it'd be on a croissant but it was actually bread slices which was soft and fantastic. Cons: they were out of vanilla so I got a hazelnut latte and the flavor was too subtle - could've used an extra pump. It was a pretty basic coffee. Nothing to be excited about, but I appreciated the caffeine for my drive home regardless. The only other flavor they had was caramel so more flavor choices would be a nice improvement as well. read more

My friends wanted to try this new spot and I was not impressed in the slightest. I got the iced matcha with vanilla and it tasted like vanilla milk. Upon receiving it I could tell it wouldn't have the right taste as no matcha latte is ever that light. It wasn't cheap either so I was disappointed in the fact that I spent $8 on a cup of milk with vanilla syrup. They really missed the point with this one. Additionally my friend ordered a cup of decaf coffee, simple and easy. While they let him know it'd take longer to make, the cafe was empty and at the 30 minute mark he went to ask where it was only to find they forgot about his order. We then waited 45 minutes for a basic cup of decaf that was nowhere near impressive. Was very underwhelmed by the drinks, price and service. I would not try again. read more

One of my favorite coffee spots. The only unfortunate thing is that I live a bit far from the business. I have been a customer since they were at their old location. Love their Dangerous coffee beans and the Dangerous Kraveman. It might be my imagination, but getting the Kraveman hot allows for the drink flavor to come across more sweet compared to the slightly watered down iced version (which I happen to prefer). If you come at the right time, you'll see the owner actively roasting the beans and he is very passionate about the topic. Very friendly staff. There is an app and I have seen people do curbside pickup before. For those who want to enjoy the goodness in-store, there is indoor and outdoor seating. There is a limited amount of parking directly outside, but there are some spots in the parking lot next to the gym (just pay attention for the line and signs. read more
