Took a stroll through downtown and somehow ended up exactly where I needed to be--at Love Portion. I was on a mission for matcha, but not just any matcha... I wanted something a little extra, and this spot delivered. I ordered a custom lavender iced matcha with honey cold foam and wow... it was such a good call. The lavender wasn't overpowering, just light and calming, and paired so well with the earthy matcha. That honey cold foam on top? Chef's kiss. It added the perfect touch of sweetness without making the drink feel heavy. Every sip was smooth, balanced, and honestly kind of addicting. What really stood out though was the service. It was my first time and I had zero clue what to get, but the girl at the register was so sweet and patient. She took her time helping me figure out a combo I'd love and made the whole experience feel really welcoming instead of rushed. You can also customize your milk (coconut, etc.), which I always appreciate. The shop itself is adorable. Think soft pink, super cute, aesthetic vibes all around. There's even an upstairs area that's set up for tea parties, which is such a fun touch and makes it feel a little more special than your average coffee spot. They also have pastries and small bites, so it's not just drinks if you're feeling snacky. Overall, this place is such a vibe. Great drinks, genuinely kind service, and a space that makes you want to hang out a little longer. Definitely coming back to try more of their menu. read more

Great service, super cute decorations and yummy drinks and food. Today i tried the prosciutto croissant sandwich. It had a fig marmalade on it which went so well with the meat and cheese. I also did a can of cold brew as always! As i was eating i overheard a customer asking about teas. They have so many delicious tea flavors that I have never heard of anywhere else. I believe the owner makes her own tea flavors. I tried the same one i heard that customer order, iced purple papaya and i added agave for sweetener. It was so refreshing. If you eat there they do serve it to you on plates but i asked to have mine in a box because i knew i only wanted to eat half. She still brought my box out to me on a super cute pink tray! read more

Cute place to grab, tea, matcha, coffee. Located in downtown San Diego 2 blocks from the ocean and maritime museum. You can also get sandwiches, dessert here. I ordered the miracle potion matcha latte. Look at the pics how beautiful it is. The sparkly butterfly melts my heart but it is edible too. Most people come for English style brunch or afternoon tea. Brunch tea is $39 per person and afternoon tea is $59 per person. I don't know the time cut off or the difference in foods served as I have not tried. It is in the upstairs space, which I didn't get to view. You will need to reserve and there is mandatory gratuity for parties of 6 or more. The only downside is there are only 3 or 4 tables, so it's more grab and go. Don't bring more than 1 person to come with you unless you reserved the English tea sessions. Hours are 8a-3p or 8a-4p on Saturdays. Parking is a challenge here or costly at paid lots. Will be back to try the miracle potion brunch experience. read more

Such a lovely cafe but an even better tea room! It was really easy to reserve our tea ahead online. As soon as we got there they brought us upstairs for their special afternoon tea experience. Their tea consisted of individual cups of tea with a pot of hot water for each person (we were only a party of 2), sparkling pink lemonade, 3 sandwiches, classic biscuits with French butter, and an assortment of desserts. While I was a bit bummed to have tea bags in my cup instead of infused tea in a full pot, it still worked! You are allowed two different flavors of tea, so you would just keep adding your hot water to one tea bag until done and then switch to your next flavor. I had their spiced apple chai and gingerbread teas. I absolutely loved the spiced apple chai whereas my friend loved the gingerbread more. They do offer a wonderful assortment of teas. My favorite sandwich was the salmon croissant although ALL of them were fresh and absolutely delicious. I did enjoy my scone but I was just so excited to have real French butter that the butter definitely outshined the scone. Still all was delectable! Their desserts are almost too beautiful to even eat. Luckily, everything I had was as delicious as it looked. A great overall tea experience! read more

Bad coffee, cheap syrups. 2020 aesthetic. So much plastic decor everywhere, not luxurious. Customer service left much to be desired. Annoying part of town to park in, there is no parking lot or free parking, everything is paid. Not a real tea room, I prefer Britannia or Coral. read more

Staff was so nice, knowledgeable and welcoming! Truly surprised it's not packed til closing. Came as a party of 4 for a 1-2:30 pm high tea. Tea selection is excellent, upstairs seating area is so cute, and was pleasantly full from the sandwiches, scones, and delicious desserts. read more

This spot is so cute and pink! Downstairs is just a cafe, but if you're doing afternoon tea, they take you upstairs. The savory items were very tasty and petite desserts were delicious. You also get sparkling pink lemonade when you are seated and choice of two teas. Definitely a lovely spot for tea time with the girls or day date! read more

Do you want to be treated like crap? Or are you just wanting to feel less of a person? Then this is the place to go because the owner is unprofessional and just straight up will disrespect you in front of her staff and clients. I feel bad for the staff that has to work under her. I wonder how much worse she gets with them read more

This place seems like a cute little spot. It's pink and fun and the drinks are pretty good. I had their signature matcha drink which was violet flavored and had rose petals. It was recommended by the owner and my only critique would be that once I got towards the bottom of my drink I couldn't really finish it because I was just sucking up the dried rose pieces. I would definitely come back and try something different. read more

So glad I finally stopped in here after months of passing by when it was closed. The ambience is spectacular, a clean and pink aesthetic that leans more mature and naturesque versus barbieesque. Immediately I was greeted by the warm and friendly woman at the register and it was such a relief because that's not a norm here sadly as I have come to find in downtown but not here. She was also so helpful when I asked for recommendations and I can't wait to come back and try the other recommendations. I ordered an oat milk caramel latte and the cinnamon roll. I appreciated that they took their time to prepare the drink meticulously and warm up the roll properly. It arrived on an adorable pink tray and I could smell the magnificence of the cinnamon roll (like the legit homemade version) that I had to take a few bites before heading out. Wow! Phenomenal, rich, and delicious! And the latte was just right. Not overly sweet but also not too milky. Perfectly balanced. I'm glad my espresso machine is under repair so I could visit this lovely place. Already looking forward to coming back! read more

I just want to come on here and say Desiree is a hoe with a stick up her butt. I was having lunch across the street when I saw the outside of miracle potion and wanted to pop in to get my daughter a treat. The owner was so sweet. We were talking for a bit and she has the coolest events there. I ended up going to one of the Cacao classes. This place is so good from their tea's, sandwiches, as well as their desserts. I have brought my little niece and my cousin there everyone there is nothing but super friendly. If you have been there, you know that this place feels like family. One of our favorite places. read more

Walked in and saw the same owner that I see on social media, was excited because she seemed to be nice online and I felt that with her around the food and drink quality would be better just because employees tend to perform better when their boss is around. Nope SHE is the problem. She was trying to upcharge me on something i didn't even order that i would not have noticed if I did not get a paper receipt. And then everytime I asked a question she was so rude. Why would you open a business if you can't even have some basic customer service skills. Btw the food AND drinks were things i wouldn't eat again even if it was free read more

Very rude owner! Does not care about people, only about making content. Belittles customers if they have a question.

The service was really bad, really wanted to like this place cause it's cute but the vibe is so off the owner is very rude and disrespectful almost entitled. Never coming back wouldn't recommend. I would out 0 stars if I could read more

The staff all needs be a little bit kinder and nicer to people! I was gonna get something, but the way the chick at the counter was looking at me made me feel pretty unwelcome so I left. Not the first time i've heard the staff here could use a bit of kindness. Drinks look beyond mediocre when your staff acts like that. read more

Found this place from tiktok and then realized I tried their coffee at the coffee fest last October. I loved the ambiance of this place, super pink and floral! I got the chai flight (banana, coconut, cinnamon & guava) and the lunch special with a salmon croissant. We went on a hot day so it was good that we got something light. Everything was so good!! My favorite chai drink is a tie between the banana and coconut - YUM!! The owner was there & she was super sweet. The details they do on everything does not go unnoticed. I went on a Sunday, so parking was free on the street and wasn't too bad to find. I will be back as there will be a floral coffee flight & im dyingggg to try! read more

Miracle Potion is hands down one of the most beautiful coffee shops I've ever been to -- it's like an Instagram dream come true! Everything is decked out in pink -- walls, flowers, décor -- it's absolutely adorable and perfect for that cute photo op. It's conveniently located right next to the San Diego Santa Fe Amtrak station, so it's a great spot to hang out while waiting for your train. We actually missed ours and had an hour to kill -- this place saved the day. I ordered a chocolate croissant but ended up getting what looked more like a chocolate bread bite. It was tasty, just not what I was expecting. The pink lemonade sparkling drink was refreshing and crisp, and their famous pink latte was surprisingly good -- smooth, creamy, and Insta-worthy. Overall, it's a fun little coffee shop with a unique aesthetic and solid drinks. read more

What a lovely place to getaway to in the middle of the day. My husband and I came here for a private event. Our group was provided a mini tea sampling on our visit, including the home baked items made in-house to accompany the tea selection. The parking nearby on a Saturday was plentiful. There was a sign to direct us to the event space upon arrival. Each participant was able to choose a tea of choice off the menu and I selected the strawberries and chocolate tea. The business fills their own tea bags for the tea room. Lovely pink everything is served here, from the table and linens down to the tea cups and trays. We were served by the owner and her assistants. My favorite item on the tray were the macaroons. They provided cream and sugar for those who wanted it. I would recommend booking a reservation in advance and to make sure you get a seat. Many tables of two were taken inside and there were a few additional tables outside. Perfect for a nice day. Bring your spouse, partner, colleague or friend, it is the perfect getaway near home. #MiraclePotion #TeaforTwo #SanDiego #PinkOut read more

Great service! Excellent selection. I love the vibe of this place, all pink and girly.

Hands down, best tea spot I've been to recently. Let me just start with the good stuff. They're on time, walk you to your prepared table, go over the menu with you and give you two tea options. Not one, but TWO. We also got a lemonade drink with our tea set. The service is friendly with a smile, when the staff brought over our food, they took their time and explained what each item was and made sure we had enough hot water for our tea pots. The decor is cute, clean, and two stories. The food is delicious and we never felt rushed. We enjoyed our time there, the food and just simply catching up. This is a fun place whether you just want to hang with the girls, or have little girls of your own. This place did not disappoint. Worth the money. read more

rude owner, never going there at all, drinks are not the same as said.the drinks are watered

I really wish I had taken the time to read the most recent Google reviews instead of falling for the hype. I submitted a request for three people a month in advance for their afternoon tea experience. Instead of a simple confirmation, I received multiple confusing text messages saying, "the appointment you requested may now be available..." but for a date I didn't even request. Despite trying to book far in advance, I still couldn't secure a reservation. I finally decided, oh well, I'll just meet my two friends there, grab a drink and pastry, and enjoy the vibe. Well, that didn't happen. They were shockingly rude to my friend and completely turned us off from wanting to stay. There are maybe two tiny tables inside by the cash register and a few tables outside. The beautiful seating area you see on social media? Completely blocked off unless you have an appointment. And when we asked about it, they told us they'd only had one appointment that day, which is laughable considering how impossible it was to book one. To top it off, the cashier handed my friend two business cards and told her she'd have to call their boss to ask permission if we wanted to order and sit there. What?! I've never experienced anything like that. At that point, I didn't want to spend a dime there. We left and went to Parakeet Café instead and honestly, it was a way better experience read more
