    Super cute coffee shop with tons of signature and seasonal drinks. Their menu is always changing, and they have really high quality coffees and matcha with fun flavors. Their veggie croissant sandwich is delicious too. Service is good! There can be a line out the door depending on the time that you go, but they are efficient. Love this little coffee shop

    Summer seasonal menu
    Vivian T.

    Lovesong has quickly become one of North Park's most popular coffee shops and I understood the hype. The space is beautiful. One thing I really liked was the seating. Instead of rows of tables, the shop has tiered seating in the back that almost feels like a little amphitheater. It gives everyone their own space whether you're studying, catching up with a friend, or just enjoying your drink. There are also outdoor seats if you want to enjoy the North Park weather. Their menu has something for everyone. They offer a seasonal menu, a lineup of specialty coffee drinks, a whole matcha menu, sparkling coffee drinks, classic espresso drinks, teas, breakfast sandwiches, and fresh pastries. I ordered their summer seasonal drink, Mr. Sunshine. It comes with house banana, brown sugar, macerated macadamia, organic matcha, and milk. I was a little nervous because that's a lot of flavors in one drink. I thought one ingredient would overpower everything else. Surprisingly, every flavor had its own moment. I also noticed they had a seasonal fresh guava cream top while I was there. I didn't get to try it this visit, but it's already on my list for next time because it sounds incredible. The service was quick and friendly. We were able to grab a seat inside without waiting, which was nice because this seems like the kind of place that fills up fast. Now, this wasn't the best matcha I've ever had, but it was definitely one of the more creative ones. I really appreciate when a coffee shop takes risks with flavors while still letting each ingredient shine. Between the beautiful space, thoughtful menu, and welcoming atmosphere, I can easily see myself coming back. Whether you're looking for a place to study, catch up with friends, or just take a few pictures, Lovesong is definitely worth checking out.

    If you have a sweet tooth more than you have tastebuds for matcha or coffee, this shop is probably for you. Upon trying my drink and what two others ordered, it seems their beverages heavily rely on other flavors, such as lavender or honey, as well as fancy garnishes and spices, such as mint, rosemary, and pink salt. When you take away all of the fancy stuff and get 25% sweet like I did, my seasonal matcha (Mr. sunshine - basically banana matcha), had little to no matcha flavor. The lavender matcha my friend ordered had a nice floral lavender taste with mild matcha flavor. The breakfast sausage croissant was not bad. Texture of the croissant was lightly fluffy with a crispy exterior. Aesthetics are on point. It's a cute shop and they present their drinks beautifully. Service was quite fast, given the line. They are also dog friendly.

    Such a cute spot and the matcha was delicious! I got the one with notes of mango and it did not disappoint. The lady at the register was so sweet and the service was fast!

    Came on a sunny Sunday afternoon and surprisingly there was no wait! Parking can be hit or miss but it's worth it. I love the space itself. Very bright and open, has a few larger tables outside, and open seating inside. The menu is a little overwhelming- there's so many choices! Usually I just like a classic matcha but decided I should get one of the specialities since that's what they're known for. Ended up going with the Bodhi Boy, which is matcha with lavender and vanilla, and subbed oat milk. I loved it! The lavender wasn't too overwhelming and the vanilla helped cut some of the floral taste. My friend got the Twisted Sister which had rosemary and fig and it was super unique. Another friend got the seasonal hojicha and it was very sweet. Would recommend getting light sweetener if you get that one. Loved the little flower decor on each of the drinks! Great spot for a cute coffee date with friends.

    I really like how open this place is and how much seating they have both inside and outside. As it was my first time here, it took me a bit of time to figure out what I wanted and the baristas weren't very patient with me trying to read the menu and figure it out. I'm not sure what the issue was since there was literally no one else in line behind me. I ended up going with one of their seasonal drinks, the Rizzler, which is a strawberry and dark chocolate coffee drink. My first did not taste like the ingredients at all. I wouldn't have known there was strawberries in the drink if I hadn't seen the menu. It was a very muddled tasting drink where you couldn't really pick out any of the flavors, but they also didn't blend seamlessly together. It was weird. I usually take 2-3 days to finish a cup of coffee, but this was not tasty the 2nd day and I ended up just dumping whatever I had left. 2.5 stars

    The Bees Knees
    Angie B.

    Cute coffee shop in north park. Have a cool stadium style seating section in the back corner along with indoor and outdoor table seating and bar top seating. Loved The Bees Knees coffee I got - perfectly balanced and delicious flavors. Parking is going to be street parking which can be tough depending on when you go but it's worth a stop in no matter what. They also have a little shop section with snacks and alternative drink options.

    Sometimes a review doesn't require a lengthy pontification of how fabulous a place is. It speaks volumes when there is a continuous line, happy faces and repeat customers. This coffee shop presents with natural light, airy, spacious with tons of plants, protein bars, snacks, books, chachkies, and refrigerated items. The MATCHA is hands down one of the best I have tasted in any state. 5 stars across the board.

    Bee's Knees - iced
    Eliko S.

    I went to Verbatim books & then I felt like some caffeine. I spotted this large, airy & bright coffee shop and went in to grab something unique. They don't have a menu board but they do have a QR code menu & there was one laminated menu at the counter which was tiny. I browsed the offerings on my phone & I ordered The Bees Kneez - honey, vanilla, cinnamon, smoked salt, espresso + milk. These are flavors that I often gravitate toward so I figured it'd be a win. Service was fine. A few minutes later, my iced drink was ready & I sipped it. Very mild flavors with cinnamon being the most prevalent and the coffee taste was extremely light. So this drink was unoffensive, but also underwhelming. For $7.50, I'd like it to be a bit more nuanced! There's nothing about this place besides the initial cute aesthetics that would make me go out of my way to come here again. On the plus side, they sell stellar snacks here & I love them! So, the verdict on Lovesong is if you like multi-layered & flavorful coffee drinks at all, don't order what I did. They have lots of indoor and some outdoor seating which makes working here or hanging out pleasant. Peace.

    I loved the coffee here. The vibe is really nice (light, plants, etc). Worth the wait

    Susie K.

    The coffee shop was spacious, but there weren't a lot of seating, so prepare to just pick up and go. The drinks were okay; I didn't find anything too different from other coffee places I've been to for the price I've paid. The barista was nice, but I felt like she was overworked and stressed out when I talked to her. Overall, give it a try, but it's def a 1 time thing for me!

    Pool Party matcha
    Carissa C.

    We were in the area during the weekday farmers market and found ourselves in this super cute cafe to take a break. We got their Pool Party matcha and I loved how they infused mango into a refreshing matcha drink. Bonus points that it wasn't overly sweet! The staff was very friendly and pointed me in the right direction with their recommendations. We had our baby with us in a stroller and it was nice that this cafe was fairly stroller-friendly. We found a spot to sit and chill in their cool stadium-style seating area. Would return!

    Old West and Islander lattes
    Marlee A.

    This was my second visit to Love Song. The employees are super helpful and chill, and the environment is cozy. I think it's relaxing to stay and chill for a moment while sipping coffee. Their coffee flavors are more adventurous than other coffee shops, which definitely makes it stand out! I got the Old West, and my girlfriend got the Islander. Both were tasty! A bit on the milky side, but I personally like a stronger espresso taste in my lattes. I think Love Song is middle of the road. The coffee is good, but nothing to write home about. I would say it's worth checking out if you're in the area. Be warned! Parking is rough. Most of it is street parking.

    (Drank 06/29/26 MO @ 3:45pm): During these modern times of craft breweries, welcome to…read more"flavortown"! After a day spent with my general contractor and having waited for an appliance pick-up service to show up, I was finally free and made my way to Modern Times Flavordome. In my quest to explore and familiarize myself with the North Park neighborhood, this was the latest brewery that was within walking distance from our place that I had to try. Founded and opened in the San Diego's Point Loma neighborhood in 2013 by Jacob McKean, they were California's first employee-owned brewery and rapidly expanded into several locations along the West Coast. Over the next decade, the craft beer industry started to constrict, a mismanaged over-expansion, the pandemic, and scandal led to the downfall of its founder in 2021, new leadership, and then eventual new ownership by Maui Brewing Co. and contract brewing handled by local AleSmith Brewing Co. Today, only two standalone locations remained along with an added coffee line. Did I enjoy the flavors of their modern time beer!? PURCHASE(S) Modern Times Beer Orderville Hazy NEIPA Beer 7.2% ABV 16floz Draft ($6.00 HH): Hazy orange color, citrusy dank hoppy aroma, low body, citrusy dry hoppy flavor, drying finish, and citrusy dry hoppy aftertaste. Kettle Brand Potato Chips Sea Salt 1oz Bag ($3.00): My favorite potato chips brand, these were the only thing to nibble on while I enjoyed a draft or two. Modern Times Beer MT Pils Pilsner Beer 4.8% ABV 16floz Draft ($6.00 HH): Hazy amber color, citrusy malty aroma, light body, citrusy malty flavor, clean dry smooth finish, and citrusy malty aftertaste. Boulder Canyon Avocado Oil Classic Sea Salt Kettle Style Potato Chips 1oz Bag ($3.00): A brand I wasn't familiar with, again, I just needed something to snack on while I imbibed. These were rather tasty! Modern Times Beer Black House Coffee Stout Beer 5.8% ABV 16floz Draft ($6.00 HH): Dark brown color, coffee roasty toasty aroma, medium body, coffee creamy roasty toasty flavor, mouthfeel smooth finish, and coffee roasty toasty aftertaste. Modern Times Beer Tropicolossal IPA Beer 6.8% ABV 16floz (Draft $9.50): Rich amber color, fruity mango pineapple tropical aroma, light body, fruity mango pineapple sweet flavor, smooth finish, and fruity mango pineapple tropical aftertaste. This was my favorite of the bunch! "Velvet Goldmine Original Soundtrack" Used CD ($6.95): An out-of-print CD from a fun movie, I had to add this to my expansive music collection! Modern Times Beer Fruited Orderville Guava Hazy IPA Beer 7.0% ABV 16floz Can 4pk ($16.00): Hazy orange color, citrusy fruity guava papaya tropical aroma, light body, fruity guava tropical flavor, creamy finish, and citrusy guava papaya tropical aftertaste. SERVICE I was initially greeted by a friendly young gentleman behind the bar where I grabbed a stool, made myself at home for a couple of hours with 2026 FIFA World Cup matches on, and drank the afternoon away. Eventually, a young woman appeared behind the bar. Each one chatted a bit, made beer recommendations, and quickly served my beer - cheers! PARKING (Varied: FREE this instance): I simply walked the fine minutes from my place. Otherwise, there appeared to be some spots along the main drag of Upas St. and all surrounding roads (I didn't notice any lots) - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE An open interior layout with a spacious outdoor patio, each area had many tables and chairs. The interior was a sight to see with lampshades hung from the ceiling, newspaper wallpaper, globes wallpaper covered the bathroom, and there were crates of vinyl and CDs for purchase. This was a funky groovy place! Plenty of natural lighting entered through the wall windows and doors, but I honestly couldn't recall whether or not there were any ceiling lights (I'm sure there were). There was at least one TV while classic rock & roll music played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL It was a chill afternoon spent at Modern Times Flavordome, and I would definitely return. They had a decent selection of beers on tap, no served food so bring your own, the prices were comparable, the vibe was kick-back, and the service was very good. I'm sure furry family members were allowed on the patio, there were Happy Hour specials (MO-FR 12pm-5pm), and almost certain nightly entertainment such as trivia, music, and more were available. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $81.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

Midnight Animal Coffee sits in a tiny shopping center next to The Wise Ox (fair warning: while you wait for your drink, the smells from Wise Ox will tempt you into grabbing one of their sandwiches). Parking in the lot is tight, crammed, and chaotic, so I usually park on El Cajon Blvd and walk over. This time I lucked out and found street parking right in front. The shop has a simple, modern, black‑minimal aesthetic. They make their house‑made syrups, offer plenty of alternative milks, and have several drinks with Mexican influence, which I love. We originally tried to order a latte with their tres leches syrup, but they were out -- so we switched to the café de olla latte instead, and wow. It tasted just like the café de olla my family makes, but lighter and not overpowering. You still get the espresso while enjoying that warm cinnamon‑spice note. We also ordered a matcha latte.
