The Little Owl downtown, a not well known location, but one to definitely discover when one has a chance. I had an Americano with whole milk. It was flavorful and quite good. It was a little easy on the milk, so it could of used more. They make breakfast and lunch sandwiches, not to mention a full menu of coffees and teas. They use Dark Horse Roaster's product for their coffees and espressos. For post Covid-19, it's good to know that they offer a good amount of inside seating for study groups and meetings. For now, they are certainly following the restriction set forth my the city and county for Covid-19. Service was welcoming and friendly. read more

Cute little coffee + boba shop in DT San Diego. Parking was convenient, it was on the side of the road with a parking meter. We had come here for their boba drinks, and I got a Jasmine Milk Tea. It is definitely not authentic, it honestly tasted drinkable, not enjoyable. Super disappointing tbhhh. They said their drinks were pre-made so I couldn't adjust the sugar level which kinda made me raise an eyebrow. Maybe they have better coffees but their boba was not it :(( the cafe was so cute and cozy too w/ lots of seating area, it was just so hard to like their drinks read more

Quick and friendly service. It was pretty empty for a Saturday at 11:30AM. The croissant sandwich was good but nothing special. Didn't taste like the eggs and bacon were just made. read more

Very cool, tasty and user friendly coffee shop in the Cortez Hill/East Village area. Easy in and out for a tasty (caffeinated or non caffeinated) start to the day and great for meeting friends or setting up shop alone, working remotely or chilling with some music, e-mail catch up, etc. Open layout, simple and tasteful decor are good for focus. Very pleasant and welcoming owner and staff! Closes at 2pm generally. read more

To the girl who left a review saying this was the best thai tea, BYE. This one was god awful and made with powder instead of boiled tea. There were clumped balls of powder at the bottom because the drink wasn't mixed thoroughly. One star for the thai tea. Can't speak on anything else because that was all I tried, but absolutely DO NOT ORDER THE THAI TEA. If you're looking for authentic Thai tea go to a Thai food place. I only tried this place because someone on here said it was "the best". read more

We had a taro & mathcha, rose city genmicha, and zucchini bread. Everything was yummy! The service is A1! I would definitely recommend! read more

I feel very mixed about Mío + Tuo. The shop itself is very cute and the customer service is always impeccable. It's pretty pricey for a coffee shop for the food and drinks to be pretty mid. I think it'd be worth it if you're staying for awhile to utilize the space, but for something quick it's not where I typically spend my money. read more

Great place to chill and get some work done they have chill work-style music playing in the background. Great coffee, drinks, and food too! Spent a few hours working here and their seats and work atmosphere is perfect! Super comfortable. Highly recommend read more

Good, quick and friendly service. The inside is clean and well lit. The decor is nice and pleasant.

This is my favorite coffee & sandwich shop. They have been open for us coffee drinkers all threw the pandemic unlike some of the big money places. They are very nice and friendly. They take pride in everything that they offer. This is the place I go when I need a break from the problems of the day. read more

Cute little place tucked on the corner of the Vantage Pointe Apartments. They use Dark Horse coffee and it has such a smooth taste. They also offer a few breakfast sandwiches and lunch ones as well. The pastries all look delicious and they have gluten free and vegan options as well. The only reason for 4 stars is the lemon loaf that a tried was a little bland and lacked the lemon flavor you expect to have w/ a lemon loaf and the egg and bacon croissants are good but nothing memorable. The lattes and teas however are delicious :) Place has a very warm and friendly feel and I highly recommend this place if you are in downtown and tired of the big chains like Starbucks. Definitely will be back when I come back to SD. read more

Simple breakfast bakery and drinks options downtown San Diego. Quick, friendly service. Spacious, comfortable indoor seating options.

We had brunch nearby so we stopped into this new coffee and tea shop! I wanted a warm drink and they had plenty of options to choose from. I loved that they had milk teas and boba on the menu too. This shop definitely has an Asian influence with many of their drink options. I chose a hot taro milk tea to warm up. It was rich in flavor and super creamy with the oat milk. They were very friendly here and I wish them success! read more

MIO+TUO = SPETTACOLARE! This delightful Coffee Shop located in downtown San Diego is definitely worth a visit (or two). Everything is served fresh and tasty. I had their Panini Delux sandwich which comes with roasted chicken, provolone, avocado, bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickle, ranch and mustard on pressed sourdough which is simply TDF (TO-DIE-FOR)!!! Complement that with either Taro and Matcha Boba (I had both because it was just so good) then add an Almond Danish made me scream BELLISSIMA!!! To quote Gen. MacArthur "I shall return" (!!!) again and again. Thank you MIO+TUO. Joe read more

The cafe looks great, however the food is lacking. The tea I bought was overpriced for what is was. Good for ambiance, bad for your wallet and mouth. read more

The roasters they use is Dark Horse and for those that love Dark Horse they use as the house coffee the "best friend" blend! This place offers a great selection of coffee and food, unfortunately no vegan options. But they were super friendly and helped me find a location for food that is vegan friendly. The staff was all wearing masks and had on floor signage for the 6ft. read more

I like the quietness of the place, grabbing a couple of black coffees here and feeling the vibe of what San Diego has to offer.

Super excited to have stumbled upon this place!!! We ordered a Sausage croissant $6.95, bacon croissant $7.25, a white mocha $5.25, and their seasonal white mocha with peppermint $5.15. All of it was delicious and reasonably priced for downtown. We live in the Rey so we usually go to Achilles, but Achilles is pricier and not as good so we're stoked about this place. We've been trying to find other options so we can't wait to come back! Definitely think this is the best easy grab and go breakfast in the area. read more

Stumbled upon this place looking for a coffee and it was so chill and comfortable that we ended up going back to our hotel, getting our laptops and working here for a couple of hours. Awesome little place with a great vibe and good food and drinks. read more

First of all, I love the vibe of the shop when you walk in. It's so warm and welcoming. The staff are all so considerate and kind. My personal favorite is their brown sugar milk tea with boba but their pastries and sandwiches are so good too. This place is right around the corner from my business and this is my go to lunch spot! 10/10 recommend. read more

Mio + Tuo - An assortment of muffins - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

I was really hoping to like this new spot but unfortunately the sandwich I ordered was underwhelming. I ordered the TBA: Turkey, Bacon, Avocado, Pickle, Lettuce, Tomato, Ranch, Mustard on sourdough. For a $10 sandwich it came with MAYBE 3 small slices of Turkey, awkwardly cut tomatoes, chunks of lettuce, pickles, and smashed avocado. No ranch & no mustard found on the sandwich so it was fairly dry. The only positive takeaway was the sourdough tasted fresh and the service was quick and friendly but unfortunately I won't be coming back for a sandwich. read more

Next time I'm gonna have to order their lunch sandwiches! Cheaper than anywhere around this neighborhood. Quality 10/10 , customer service 10/10 & pricing 10/10. Thank you guys! read more

Coffee is good, food is delicious, pastries are amazing, and the staff are kind. They serve Dark Horse coffee at this time and that name carries a good reputation in San Diego so you're getting good stuff here and for a great price. This place is slightly more expensive than Starbucks, as most coffee shops are, but you get better tasting coffee. Ultimately, it's a nice gem and they deserve more notice. read more

I live in the neighborhood and really enjoy coming to this coffee shop. Their drinks are super yummy and creative, you can tell that the barista makes them with care . I've also tried their delicious French macarons and their tasty sandwiches never disappoint! I would recommend their breakfast croissants, turkey pesto sandwich, and my son loved their BBQ chicken sandwich. Inside is spacious with plenty of seating to relax with your cup of coffee and laptop. I give it 4 out 5 stars because sometimes they can take quite a while to prepare your food, one morning I recall waiting over 20 minutes for my croissant sandwich to be ready. Also, I am never quite sure what to call this coffee shop since the name has changed several times over the last 2 years that I've lived in the area. Formerly known as "Tom Toms Cafe", then "Little Owl on 9th" and now I believe it is called "Mio + Tuo". Not a big deal, just a tad confusing. read more

I LOVE Mio + Tuo, I am a die hard oat milk fan and they are always so kind with any substitutions you ask for! The baristas are very nice and quick with orders! Also with the big windows for natural lighting and lots of plants it's a very Instagram worthy shot for breakfast. I've been a few times and it seems really comfy and quiet perfect for studying or working remotely. The sandwiches are amazing! My favorite is the bacon egg and cheese with avocado on an everything bagel, but the sausage egg and cheese on a croissant comes a close second :) read more
