    I grew up eating Turkish food, so I was really excited to try Mevan Coffee & Breakfast, especially since I'd heard so many great things about it. The food was okay, but nothing stood out. I was most looking forward to the menemen, but it lacked the bold, rich flavors I'm used to. I was also surprised that it wasn't served with simit. Instead, it came with flatbread, which was fine, but it just isn't the same. The rest of the dishes were decent, but overall nothing made me want to come back. What surprised me even more was the service. Based on the reviews, I expected a very warm and welcoming experience. Instead, we walked in and stood at the counter for more than five minutes without anyone acknowledging us. The staff were busy having a personal conversation while another person appeared to be taking photos of them, presumably for social media. That's completely fine, but customers shouldn't be left waiting because of it. To make matters worse, the counter was overflowing with dirty dishes the entire time (see photo). It made the restaurant feel messy and uninviting. Overall, the experience just didn't live up to the hype for me. If you're looking for authentic Turkish flavors and hospitality, this wasn't it. I'll continue my search for a great Turkish breakfast spot. This one was just... meh.

    I love this place! I randomly came across it when looking for a cafe to do some computer work at, and I arrived at this spacious cafe in the heart of Hillcrest. It has plenty of seating with big tables, and the lighting is nice and music is not aggressive. They offer lots of delicious snacks and meals. I've tried the menemen scramble which came out sizzling with flatbread to go with it. It was more than enough to share between two people. I also tried the baklava which was flaky and sweet. The little custard cakes in the shape of different fruits also piqued my interest, and I tried a mango custard cake on one of my visits. It was pretty good and light, but it wouldn't be my top thing to get at the place. The real star of the show is the coffee. I went with someone who doesn't like coffee but gave it a try, and they said it changed coffee for them forever. I tried the pistachio latte and it was so good--it was creamy and smooth, and the perfect level of sweetness and flavor. The latte art they do is absolutely incredible too; my friend got an intricate pegasus! The staff there is also super duper friendly and made me feel welcome to stay as long as I wished, and they would come and bring the drinks and food out to us at the table. Will definitely be back again!

    Consistently delicious and great service! Highly recommend checking Mevan out! The waffle was perfection

    Salted maple latte
    Shraina C.

    Stumbled across this cafe while exploring SD's neighborhoods. And Im so glad that I did. So freaking delicious. One of the best breakfast spots I've had in so long. Salted maple latte was outstanding. Great espresso, smooth. Breakfast dish was eggs, peppers, and tomatoes served on a hot-stone/cast iron. Such a hearty delicious breakfast. I enjoyed every single bite. Next time i'm in the area i'll definitely be stopping by to try some more of their Turkish breakfast plates! Service was warm and friendly. Super cozy/homey interior. 10/10 experience all around!

    A case full of fruit flavored desserts. A little like a mousse...yum!

    What a pleasant find. Lots of coffee and food choices. Clean, plenty of seating inside and on the sidewalk. We'll be back!

    Avocado toast and menemen

    I love coming here. Everything on the menu is delicious with the best ingredients. The service is thoughtful and welcoming. The decor and ambiance is modern and offers plenty of seating. I come about 4 times a month, it's the best! The owners are also extremely friendly and very hard working. Keep up the great work and definitely come check them out !

    Very nice desert and coffee spot! I give it a rare 5 stars. The lay out is local "quaint & comfortable" seating enough for doing work or studing, stoping by as a tourist or based on recomendation. However you get to this location you should find the staff engaging and friendly. After ordering and paying they brougt it to our number flagged table. I decided to break my norm and order a Turkish coffee and cheescake. To start was the best salmon bagel that I have had in a while. I asked for mother natuers mayonnaise; avocado, to add to the messyness of the soft fried egg. A messy hand and many napkis is a must with this combo. I suggest paying the extra to set this menu item at the top. The cheesecake standard that I prefer is a dense New York baked unit with gram cracker crust but I have to say if that was what they had and I ordered it, I would have left out looking pregnant. The bagel is filling by itself, this combo was a hungy-dude meal. The whipped cheesecake they had was simular to a moose, very lite and suttel in taste that worked with the smooth mini- cup of coffee. The coffe was not as strong as I prefer it but the flavor was smooth enough to change the take in your mouth for the next cheeses cake bite, and again and back and forth. The desert windo is a work of art, be sure to experence as many as you can upon return visits.

    Discovered this new-ish Turkish coffee shop in Hillcrest on a Friday morning. The menu has both American and Turkish breakfast items and the owners were happy to explain the menu to us (bonus points for all Halal meat!). There is plenty of seating for parties of any size and orders are brought to your table. The food presentation was wonderful. We ordered the chicken Caesar sandwich and the avocado toast, both of which were filling. The owner came to check on every table to make sure everything was okay. There is a wide variety of food and drink, but both are on the pricier side. Overall, a positive experience and looking forward to trying more on the menu.

    Visited this new coffee shop/breakfast place located in Hillcrest on a Saturday morning and my party of 2 had a wonderful time. There's a lot of great food on the menu and will have to come back to try out the other items. Parking: Note that with any other Hillcrest establishment, give yourself some time to look for street parking. There's also a paid lot close by. Environment: Cafe style where you order at the register and they bring the food out to you. There are many 2-4 person tables and I saw that there was a party of 8 inside. There are a couple of 2 person tables outside. We opted to sit at the window table overlooking the street. Service: Great hospitality by the person who took our order and served our dishes! Food: -Spanish Latte ($6.50) and Matcha Latte ($6.50) with cute latte art. -Eggs with Beef ($22): served on a sizzle platter; tomato, cucumber, and pita bread on the side. It's my first time having Kavurmah Yumurta and it's so good! Eating just the egg and beef alone tasted very heavy, but the sliced tomato, cucumber, and pita served with it complimented the dish well. -Turkey, Bacon, Egg Sandwich ($14): hanger bun, served with crispy tater tots -Phyllo Cheese Roll ($10): comes with 4 pieces cut in half, so we had more than enough to take home. We loved these savory rolls and similarly to the Eggs with Beef plate, the tomatoes on the side complimented them well.

    Mevan Coffee & Breakfast is a new business that took over a Hillcrest suite which was most recently the home of a taqueria that has changed addresses to a La Jolla location. I recently visited to get some dessert after having dinner elsewhere in the neighborhood. Their business hours need to be changed on Yelp as it states a closing time of 10 pm. I found out that they actually close at 9:00 because I was asked to finish while the staff was sweeping the floors and stacking the outside chairs and tables. The inside felt more like a lounge than a cafe with the decor and seating arrangement. Two menu screens hung behind the service counter with the left one listing the beverages and the right one displaying the food offerings. A couple of display cases were at the counter showing off the baked goods and other desserts. Turkish breakfast and pastries (e.g. baklava) were the featured items as there were half a dozen selections in the former category. From the three cold drink choices, I picked the San Diego Sunset. This was sparkling water mixed with lemonade and pomegranate juice. The blend was fruity but not too tart. I do wish that it came in a larger serving size for the eight dollar price. I noticed at least three types of cheesecake in the refrigerated display case. Dragonfruit was what I opted for because I had never seen that ingredient used as a cheesecake flavor. The wedge was thick and creamy, however the dragonfruit wasn't as prominent as it appeared.

    Eggs and beef

    Pretty darn good. Lentil soup, Eggs with beef and meneman, and a blackberry dessert to fire for. Oh, and Turkish Coffee too. Super polite folks

    A must try spot!! Phenomenal Turkish breakfast, can't recommend this place enough. Everything tastes amazing. Service was incredible, everyone is super friendly and the seating is extremely comfortable. Will definitely be back when we visit San Diego.

    Books & Records Delivers Live Jazz, Standout Cocktails, and Exceptional Happy Hour Bites…read moreAs a fan of Common Stock, expectations were high for its Bankers Hill sister spot, Books & Records--and it easily delivered. The moment you step inside, the bi-level space makes a striking impression with its mid-century accents, exposed brick, and warm, moody lighting. It manages to balance a lively, energetic atmosphere with an effortless chicness that feels tailored for a memorable night out. The happy hour here is an absolute standout, featuring an expansive array of creative food options and crafted drinks. The menu brings an inventive Asian fusion twist to bar bites, offering flavor-forward small plates that pair seamlessly with the beverage program. The drinks deserve equal applause: the craft cocktails are meticulously balanced, and the signature ube-inspired cocktails are as vibrant and distinct as they are delicious. Adding to the venue's overall charm is the live music program. Catching live jazz, soul, and blues sets elevates the entire experience from a simple dinner run into a full sensory event. The music creates a vibrant, soulful backdrop without overpowering table conversation, striking just the right rhythm for intimate catch-ups or energetic group gatherings. Whether you are dropping in for a quick drink, indulging in a multi-dish happy hour spread, or lingering late for the live tunes and exceptional cocktails, Books & Records captures everything that makes CS Hospitality's concepts so special. It is a stylish, fun, and flavorful addition to San Diego's dining scene.

Best thing we got was the pork belly bao. Pork belly was soft, tender, and flavorful.

They weren't! I was surprised by that. I recommend a full order (6) for anyone who has a big American appetite. I thought the pancakes would be the star of the show, but you know what surprised me? THE BACON AND SAUSAGE! The sausage links were sooooooo good. The bacon was thick and absolutely delicious. Our five-year-old got the strawberry patch waffle and that was super tasty! My husband's apple pancake was yummy. It's enough for two (or even three people)! Overall, this was a great breakfast restaurant and perfect for families. I'd come back!
