Came from the airport for a light breakfast! Construction made me drive around in circles so don't get discouraged if you're coming from out of town. Had 2 breakfast sammies, a large dirty chair, and a medium vanilla latte for ~$35 pre-tip. Food was good but eggs were a little hard, could use a little more salt. Drinks were pretty good and loved the lighting and ambiance. If I lived nearby, it would totally be a cute place to work on the afternoon. The two employees there were really nice and it was a refreshing experience!

Exceeded the craving for best breakfast croissant 'wich! Egg whites+ avocado . Delish w bobaand coffee

The pistachio latte was phenomenal! I'm dreaming about it and it was yesterday when I had it! Such a great vibe with the plants and sofas!!

Paradise bar, breakfast bagel, and the dirty chai protein shake

Ashleyann B.

Nice spot here in the Cortez Hill area for neighbors in the area, passerby, and visitors from anywhere. Staff recognize me and my partner and always make us feel welcome. I usually have a baked good--their paradise bar is my fav, but the honey bran muffin and vegan zucchini bread are also my go-tos--with one of their Signature decaf espresso drinks. I get a new drink nearly every time but find myself going for their honey lavender latte, cafe con miel, or whatever their seasonal special is. Personally haven't tried their boba drinks, but that's an option here for those who want it. My partner usually orders their breakfast bagels or sandwiches and / or protein smoothie and I've always heard praise from him regarding those. I've done remote work from here many times. Might not be best if you have a meeting planned in the workday, but if no talking is required then you'll be in a good spot. Plenty of seating available, nice lighting because of the large windows, and the plants inside are a very nice touch. There are outlets here, but they're not in all areas of the interior. There are two that I can think of to the right of the Ninth Avenue entrance.

This cafe was walking distance to our hotel, WorldMark. It is super cute inside, they have a great menu with a variety of great options for everyone the breakfast sandwiches were delicious! I tried the Loop which was a pesto cream cheese bagel with tomato's I've never had anything like it! The best part was my iced honey lavender latte. It was soooooo good!!! Most lavender flavors are a little overpowering but this one is so smooth and subtle. Even my husband really liked it and he HATES lavender lol. It almost tastes like a cereal milk latte. We wish we had a Mio + Tuo back at home in LA.

This place is cute and cozy. I went there in the morning around 8:30am and not many people there. I ordered white mocha and the service was a little bit slow. The white mocha was okay, didn't offer any sweetness option, it was a little bit sweet for me.

Raina A.

A bit underwhelming. I expected a bit more after reading the reviews online. I got a matcha latte and a plain bagel toasted with cream cheese. The matcha latte lacked depth and was bland. The bagel was a very ordinary bagel, nothing to write home about. Prices are comparable to other cafes in the area. The service was friendly but overall it's skippable for me.

Magda N.

Solid lunch spot in downtown san diego. Chicken panini is ok. Could have more chicken. Taro milk tea is good. Jasmine milk tea is also good. Can't go wrong with either of these. They have tables inside & wifi. Close too early though, 2pm.

Great to find a place that sells bagel sandwiches, nice and toasty and very affordable! It's almost like a hidden gem. I tried other local popular bagel places and they are always sold out before its' even 11AM. This place has sandwiches in croissant or bagels and they were not sold out before 11AM. However, that doesn't mean it's a bad thing! I ordered an everything bagel with two eggs, pork patty and cheddar cheese and it came out piping hot with my cheese melted just the way I like it. More importantly it was under $9 including tips! I've had similar sandwiches at Spill the Beans and it was easily over $15! It was clean and spacious inside, with a variety of seatings. I also appreciate the different plants throughout the shop.

I get coffee here infrequently because the quality and service pales by comparison to any and every boutique and chain shop. However, my last trip to this shop was not only poor, it was life-threatining. I ALWAYS ask for the same drink in any establishment: venti Americano, decaf, extra soy, three stevia. I got my latest drink from Miao + Tuo and thought it tasted "richer" than usual. Later, when testing my blood sugar -- which had SKY ROCKETED -- it was apparent that they did not use stevia but used sugar instead. Totally irresponsible. It took three days to get this resolved. Don't go here; go to Achiles or even Starbucks; you'll get better service, better quality product, and more professional and competent attention. read more

Got a cortado and asked to add sweetened condensed milk which they charged 2 dollars for, more than I expected but no problem, because it's not always something places offer. Cortados have less milk in them so you don't need to add a ton to get it sweet. They even double checked that I wanted to add some before making my drink which I appreciated, but can't even taste any in my drink, which is sad considering they charged so much for it. read more

Do they offer heavy cream and sugar free syrups for their beverages? (Keeping it KETO)☮️😷

They have almond milk so you can get that to keep things pretty keto. Like a plain latte... I didn't notice if they had sugar free anything... The trade off for a few extra net carbs is less calories from the heavy cream...

The barista mentioned that it is on the sweeter side. When this was mentioned I felt like it would be a good pairing because the Thai coffees that I am used to having are typically on the strong side. I also heard from another customer that the Thai coffee had a slight mocha taste to it which I thought was interesting. I'm indifferent to powdered taro milk teas, although this one in particular, I did not enjoy. It was thick and sludgy, with an undertone of medicine reminding me of pepto bismol. The color was lovely, but not the taste. I wouldn't order this particular drink again. The drink I chose was medium size and it was only $5.38 (or 5.83, I can't remember & I don't think I got a receipt) ish which I can appreciate! The top portion of the drink was the Thai coffee and I really did like the flavor. Next time I'll get a different drink for sure! My friend tried the Green Thai Tea for the first time and really enjoyed the flavor of it. It had a floral jasmine + vanilla taste, a little bit on the sweet side-- but refreshing and delicious. The prices are pretty good (coffee and milk teas) and they also have smoothies (which can be on the more expensive side $9-12). Water cup is free upon request. They also have only a handful of seatings, but it's a nice area to walk around. They have umbrellas as well, but they do need a heavier stand for windy days as I've witnessed it fall into a car several times. Other than that, I recommend checking out It's Cafe Thai in Barrio Logan!

Coming from NY, I'm embarrassed to even try to compare the quality of our pho to SD. This was…read moredefinitely better than anything we have here, and it was just a casual spot we found on Yelp! Came for some piping hot soup to recover after a bachelorette weekend, and pho bo hit the spot. I ordered the #1, and portions and toppings were both super generous. That first sip of soup revived my soul - it was such a clean broth but deeply flavorful. I always wondered why they never provide onions w/ vinegar in NY, but I loved the ones that they gave here. The only thing I'll note is that it's an open doored restaurant for all the vibes, but with that, comes flies as well. The flies were a bit of a nuisance, but I guess that's the tradeoff here.

Honestly, the best Vietnamese porkchop rice (Com Suon Nuong) in SD (but with a higher price tag)…read more Pho Bo is in a trendier area than some of SD's class Viet restaurants and the prices are a bit higher, but the rice dishes are consistently delicious. We got the com suon nuong and the char and marinade are excellent every time. We also got the fried chicken leg over fried rice and it was delicious as well! The pho is pretty solid but doesn't beat Pho Hoa for me. However Pho Hoa ONLY serves pho so if you're hoping for a variety of dishes (including rice dishes), Pho Bo is my pick.

The food and the service were equally outstanding. I really enjoyed all of the entertaining table side menu items they had available to order. Another thing that is always a really big nod to us of great service, is when they treat our kids just as well as us adults. They greeted them, spoke to them, and even ended up creating two mocktails from their personal preferences. We really appreciate that so much! We ended up ordering a variety of things to try for our family of four: the table side Caesar salad, the Steak Sampler, a Filet, Lobster, Mashed Potatoes, Mac and Cheese, and Truffle Fries - we loved it all! Perfectly cooked and everything we wanted it to be! We were so full, but after viewing the dessert cart all night, we had to try some! The most decadent, delicious, chocolate, layered cake was our pick. As we were waiting tho, we saw the table side banana foster dessert being made and had to order that too! No regrets!! It was all perfect!! They also kindly brought us out a really good peanut butter and jelly macron, but the star was that it was topped with a gold dusted Wu Tang emblem on top - LOVE!! PS - even the bathrooms were fun! I really look forward to trying more of their restaurants!

The store is small so sometimes if the line is long, you have to wait outside. It goes by somewhat quickly. There is seating in the back that looks really nice. There were desserts. We got their sesame cake, it was fine. I would definitely put this place as somewhere to visit. There is street-side parking. If you get lucky, someone already paid for the parking meter.

We ordered the beignets, Matcha Latte Tiramisu, Curry Hamburger, and the U.S. Fried Rice. Everything we ordered was delicious, but the standout was definitely the beignets!

We went shortly after they opened, so it was packed--we ended up waiting about an hour for a table, and service was a little slow at first. Since it was their soft opening, I'm hoping things have gotten smoother since then. The food was good overall. Beignets were sooo good! The steak in the shakshuka was cooked well, and while I enjoyed my curry, it was a little sweeter than I expected. There were also a few flies inside since all the windows were open, but nothing too major. Parking is about what you'd expect for North Park--not impossible, but it can take some patience. Overall, I'd definitely come back. The food was enjoyable, the owners were wonderful, and I think this spot has a lot of potential as they continue to settle in.

If I could rate this place lower I would... It is very clear that the owner treats people of color differently. Not only is this discrimination morally wrong, but also illegal. Do not support this business. The owner is a racist. I was mortified to hear a conversation she had with an employee about taking a menu item off because she didn't like someone. read more

I absolutely loved Adore Coffee -- such a great little spot…read more The coffee was perfect -- smooth, rich, and exactly what you want when you're craving something really well made. I also had the kombucha, which was super refreshing and tasted amazing. But the highlight for me was the fig and prosciutto -- WOW. The sweet and savory combo was just perfect. It tasted fresh, balanced, and honestly kind of addictive. Everything felt thoughtfully made, from the drinks to the food, and the whole experience was just really enjoyable. I'll definitely be coming back!

The large windows let in plenty of natural light, and the corner lined with books for sale adds to the inviting atmosphere. It's definitely the kind of place where you can relax with a drink and stay for a while. I ordered the shaken espresso, which was light-bodied and pretty straightforward. It had a bold brown sugar flavor with a stronger espresso presence than milk, so it's a great option if you enjoy your coffee less creamy. My boyfriend got the Luna Taro, which I think is the better choice if you prefer something sweeter and creamier. The taro flavor came through nicely, and it barely tasted like coffee, which was exactly what he was looking for. The only downside was the cleanliness of the restroom. Both the trash bin by the counter and the one inside the restroom were overflowing, so I think that's an area they could improve. Other than that, it's a lovely café with a cozy atmosphere that's worth checking out.

Hannah and Jessica were working, and from the moment I walked in, the vibe was just right. I'm a straightforward guy -- black coffee with a splash of cream, print newspaper, no frills. When I mentioned I was old school, Hannah gave me exactly the kind of response that makes you feel seen rather than teased. These two have a gift for reading their customers and making everyone feel like a regular, even on a first visit. I asked Hannah for just a splash of cream -- I told her I wanted it the color of my skin. She nailed it on the first try. That might sound like a small thing, but it isn't. It means she was actually listening. I mentioned I was still reading a print newspaper -- an increasingly rare habit, apparently -- and Jessica didn't miss a beat. She told me they needed more of that, and invited me to sit down and read the paper and tell them what was good in it. I had somewhere to be, so I took my coffee to go -- but I genuinely wanted to stay. That kind of warmth isn't something you can fake or train for. It's just who they are. When I tried to leave a tip on the way out, Jessica looked at me and said I had great energy. I took that with me along with my coffee. The coffee itself? Excellent. Clean, well-made, perfectly calibrated -- in more ways than one. I came back later in the day. They were closing up, short-staffed and winding down. I left a tip then too, and they told me I was "extra." I told them if that's extra, the world needs more of it. They laughed. I meant every word. Here's the real tip though -- and I'm leaving it for you, the reader: just go. Go in, order something simple, and pay attention. Hannah and Jessica are putting something genuinely good into the universe, one cup at a time. You'll feel it the moment you walk through the door. Don't walk past this place.

I was walking around downtown and happened to stumble upon this spot, which was a nice surprise…read more The cashier mentioned they have been open for about six months, so it still feels like a relatively new addition to the area. The dessert display was really eye catching, and everything was arranged in a way that made you want to try a little of everything. It had a relaxed, casual vibe that works well whether you are just grabbing something to go or sitting down for a quick treat. I ordered the Napoleon for $7.99, although it was honestly hard to choose because all of the desserts looked so tempting and beautifully presented. That said, I personally was not a fan of their version of the Napoleon. I was expecting a more traditional take, but theirs had a caramel element I believe that changed the flavor profile quite a bit. It was not bad, just different from what I had in mind. Overall, I would still be open to coming back. The ambiance and presentation alone make it worth another visit, and I would love to try some of their other desserts next time.

It's street parking only, so can be challenging depending on when you come. I stopped in during the week, as I walked from the nearby Padres stadium. It wasn't very busy when I came in around 11:30, but after I ordered it really picked up. They do have a counter where you order the food, and also a bar that you can sit at that appears to have a pretty good selection of alcohol. There are a few tables to sit at. After I place my order I decided to sit at the table with the Ronald McDonald statue, because why not? I asked the very nice server about the menu, and she let me know what was popular and answered my questions. I decided to go with the muffaletta as it was on focaccia bread, which I really love. The sandwich was huge, and I definitely needed someone to share it with. They do cut it in half, so it is actually perfect for sharing or taking the other half home. It is filled with several different types of Italian Meats, including salami, sopressata, mortadella, some cheese and arugula and onions, and a sauce they use. I've never had a muffaletta before, so I can't speak to how authentic this is, but I can tell you it was a very good sandwich. I loved all of the flavors and the way they came together, and the fact that it was on focaccia bread just made it all the more perfect. Overall this is a very cute place to grab breakfast or lunch, I believe they are only open until 3:00 p.m.. The decor is very cute, with several different statues, disco ball, and a music area , and I think kids would love it as well as adults. I also enjoyed the food, and would like to try some of the other things on their menu as well. I could see myself going back if I'm in the area.
