Really nice coffee shop right off university. Definitely a great place to come get a little work done. Good mix of indoor and outdoor seating. Didnt try food this time but my Americano was pretty solid. Will come back to try more beverage and food. Parking is going to be street parking only and you'll have to find in the surrounding neighborhoods. read more

I think I'm frustrated because I am comparing this location to the Liberty station location which is waaaaaay different than this one. It's a tiny little building, most seats taken up by people working on their computers. They don't serve food after 1 pm on the weekend, even though they are open until 6 pm?? I just feel like that is not reasonable. They were also out of cold brew. The coffee was good and the staff was nice but given those aspects I wouldn't come out of my way to come here. read more

I've been coming here for years and the coffee has been great every time I come. Its an awesome location, next to liberty station and across from pigment and other restaurants. The Banana PB toast is the best most filling bfast choice ever! This is a staple in my coffee shop rotation in SD read more

Moniker never disappoints. I have been to their liberty station location a handful of times, and I especially enjoy their breakfast sandos and iced matcha drinks. I love their rotating seasonal drink menu items--something fun to explore! Today I ordered an iced Hawaiian oat latte and Matcha Lemonade. The staff member was friendly and warm. There are plenty of seats too! read more

We ordered one iced Tiramisu Latte and an iced Pearl Lemonade Matcha. The espresso extraction for the Tiramisu Latte was pretty bad. The lemonade matcha was refreshing but the matcha powder wasn't dissolved properly. Not great for two otherwise expensive drinks read more

They are dog friendly! We had the Hawaiian Latte and Triple Tache Dare You, both iced. I had the Triple Tache Dare You with matcha and it tasty! I love pistachio and hardly have pistachio. It was made with pistachio syrup and pistachio milk, topped with a pistachio cold foam. Thankfully the pistachio taste did not taste artificial. It can be made with espresso but I liked the earthiness from the matcha. The Hawaiian Latte was OK, it tasted like a regular sweetened latte. The cost was around $24 including tip and tax. Staff were welcoming. The cafe was well kept and clean with plenty of seating. The place is spacious, perfect for remote work. I would visit them again whenever in the area. read more

Every time I'm driving toward the freeway heading out of North Park I see this coffee shop and I was finally able to visit. As you know parking may be a hassle so beware. The space is pretty big with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Some people were working and some were just hanging out. Inside, they have merch and coffee for sale. Lots of cool stuff on the menu for drinks, pasteries and some quick bites. We ordered an Iced Hawaiian Matcha and an Iced Matcha Lemonade. Both drinks were great! I'm not the biggest fan of matcha but these tasted good. read more

Went here this morning for a breakfast sandwich and it was pretty good! I got the Bae Sando which tasted great but was a little small but only cost $12. They say it comes on focaccia bread but it felt more like a roll than true authentic focaccia bread. We went at 10am on a Saturday and it wasn't too crowded. My friends got the coffee and loved it. Plenty of seating indoor and a small outdoor patio. Great friendly staff too! Parking is hit or miss since it's in north park but I got lucky and didn't have to drive around much. I do want to go back for one of their night events! read more

Such a great spot to work, study, or hang out! There's plenty of tables with multiple outlets. I love that there's indoor and outdoor seating as well. Their spring menu had a baklava latte so of course I had to try it! I got it with matcha and it was so sweet like dessert! read more

I'm a fan of Moniker and frequent their Liberty Station location often. I enjoy their drinks and food options but love how inviting their space is. The North Park location is no different. It's much smaller in scale and parking is limited and all street parking when you can find it, but the inside is comfortable, cozy, and inviting. I usually order the London Fog and the hubby ordered a hot vanilla latte this visit while we sat and read our book. read more

An okay coffee shop -- nothing really stood out to me. The space is clean, simple, and well maintained. The service wasn't bad, but definitely not the friendliest I've had. I ordered the matcha with the strawberry add‑on, but it didn't have any strawberry flavor at all, which was disappointing since it costs an extra $1. The matcha itself was good, and they do offer oat milk as an alternative. Parking is pretty limited in this area, but the space has plenty of seating and great natural light since it's bright and open. Not my top choice, but if I was nearby, I might stop in again. read more

This review is for my after hours Marcella pop up experience. It was fun to come here on a cool Thursday evening and enjoy a live DJ while noshing on expertly crafted Neapolitan style pizza. Open space, very relaxed vibe and right across the street from several bars to get a nightcap afterwards. Marcella's pizza crust clearly reflects passion and time invested, as it possesses a wonderfully balanced soft yet chewy texture. BF and I got the specialty white pizza with truffles, which was quickly prepared and full of umami. Hope this pop up gets a more permanent location soon! . read more

Their fall menu is here and it's full of cozy flavors! I asked which drinks were most popular, and the barista mentioned the carrot cake, maple rosemary, and banana bread cold brew. I went with the banana bread one - and wow, forgot how much I love cold brew! This one was so good. Just make sure to ask about the sweetness level! It was a bit on the sweeter side for me, but the barista was super nice and adjusted it - really appreciated that. Only small downside was that they didn't have pastries this time, but still such a great visit overall. Definitely coming back to try the other fall drinks next! read more

Second time here and it's quieter than a church inside. Nice big couches to sink into and plenty of table space. Good place to set up and study it work while getting medicinally caffeinated. Staff was really nice - gentleman behind the counter took the time to explain the Latte selection and syrups -- then we ordered Americanos. He had a good laugh at that. read more

I came here on a Saturday and the day of their matcha launch party to celebrate their new matcha vendor "blue matcha company" so there were some other small business vendors doing pop ups and a DJ later in the day but it still wasn't too busy thankfully! I got their Hawaiian matcha, the macadamia coconut flavor profile was really good but I could barely taste the matcha so it was a little disappointing, I could tell instantly by the color of it when I picked it up at the counter that I probably wasn't going to be able to taste the matcha bc it was such a light green like mostly milk w a little hint of matcha flavor instead of that darker/richer green color indicative of a heavier matcha profile. I really wish I had been able to taste the matcha more since I wanted to be able to taste it to see if I wanted to buy a tin! The "best friends bagel" pop up they had was SO GOOD though! If they had these bagels all the time I would definitely be a frequent customer bc the jalapeño cheese and the ube sourdough bagels were hands down the best bagels I've ever had, I'm drooling thinking about them as I type this review. Based on their instagram it looks like they've done pop ups at moniker before so I'll definitely be on the lookout for if they pop up here again! There's plenty of seating and the space is actually pretty big and open with lots of light and fresh air! There was a short line when we were ordering but it went by fast and we got our drink p fast too! Overall, the matcha was a bit disappointing since I couldn't really taste the matcha but the overall flavors were good so I'm curious enough to come back and maybe try their coffee instead next time! And I would definitley come back if best friends bagels decided to pop up here again! read more

I'm glad there is another moniker location in north park! Staff was very friendly and helpful. I got the Hawaiian latte (coconut and macadamia syrup) which was great. The space was welcoming and looked like lots of people were there to work/study. Also appears to be pet friendly which is a huge plus in my book read more

Grand opening, grand closing. Highly doubt this coffee shop is profitable and wouldn't be surprised to see it closing before summer kicks off. Non organic low quality coffee tastes moldy and was served cold which makes sense with the health code violation. If you want to study with the homeless homies scattered all around d the shop, give it a shot. read more

There was an event going on when we went so it was quite loud with the music system right at the front near where you order. The interior was actually quite spacious and it looked like it would a lovely area to come back to: for slow mornings, chatty conversations, solo, etc. They did have bins and metal utensils, so I wonder if they have "for here" cups as well! That would have been lovely! They have menus posted on laminated sheets that you can grab from the bar as you wait in line. I was swayed by Instagram and ordered the Iced Tiramisu Latte. The base was quite thin for a latte, it reminded me of a cold brew with a splash of milk. Personally this drink wasn't for me as it wasn't agreeing with my taste profile. It wasn't reminiscent of tiramisu as well-- only the crème with the cocoa powder but the latte wasn't sweetened with anything that made me think of lady fingers or tiramisu. I wouldn't get this drink again. Next time I'd get their salted caramel latte!! My brother got an Iced Hawaiian Latte, with oat milk. It was a bit loud, but she said the Hawaiian was macadamia and coconut...I think? My brother really enjoyed it! Would recommend to others. Overall, cute spot-- somewhat close to Holy Matcha. A little further away from other coffee spots but I'd recommend coming by and giving them a try on a regular day! read more

Really overpriced drinks that taste just okay. I got the Jasmine matcha and it tasted more like milk than anything. My friends got coffee drinks and theirs were good but each of us spending basically $9-10 each on our drinks was not ideal. This location has a lot of room for lounging and catching up with friends or just getting some work done. They play good music which is a plus while you're waiting for your drink read more

first time at the new Moniker in North Park and I had such a great visit. The staff is super friendly, we were able to find some seats to sit and hang out. The vibe and aesthetic is very calming and very open space. I tried the Hawaiian latte with oat milk, and it was delicious! If you know North Park, you know you have to find street parking and on the weekends I can obviously get very busy so go at a early time if possible. read more

It's so nice to see the Moniker heading out east with this new location in North Park, San Diego. I visited their Liberty Station location many times and learned that they offer a great product. The location is quite spacious inside and they also offer a small patio right in front. I had them make me a cortado with whole milk. I also had a slice of coffee cake. Both cost $10 and some change. The cortado was well made, except for a touch of sourness towards the ends, but I was very please that they not only served it in a proper Gibraltar glass but they also served with a side of carbonated water. Well done. The coffee cake was a winner! It was super moist and offered great flavor. The service was very good. The young lady who took my order had a good sense of humor, and the barista was up beat. Cool spot. read more

First time trying this coffee shop at Point Loma location and had tiramisu latte and I loved it that I had to take my husband the next time. Today, I came with my husband but in this location (University Ave) since it was closer to us. No one was in the counter but it didn't take long for them to come from the back. Anyway, our tiramisu lattes looked good but lighter compared to PL's. The cream was very nice but the coffee and sweetness was not there. Just bland, tasted like it was just all milk and had a lil watered down texture. We could only take a few sips that we just threw them away. Rating 2 only because of the cream. read more

The first time I went here, they didn't have some food ingredients so they couldn't make a few items. However, the coffee was good. Second time I went here, I ordered the oatmeal + fruit and an iced pumpkin pie latte. The latte was okay, I was expecting more of a pumpkin flavor instead of it kind of just being in the background. Now, the oatmeal - it was inedible. It seems like they didn't add hot enough water to it so I just had oats swimming in water. read more

Street parking only. There are some paid lots nearby. It is really, really hard to find parking. You will most likely walk 3-4 blocks. They have seating inside and outside. Order at register and pick up from counter near the back corner. Tried: Tiramisu - They ran out of the cream so they gave us whipped cream instead which was disappointing. Hawaiian - good but too sweet and very milky tasting even after asking for it to be half sweet. I like their Liberty Station spot better. read more

We loved checking out Moniker General's newest location in North Park! They just opened their doors and are serving coffee, tea, and pastries. They'll be rolling out a food menu too soon! Similar to their Point Loma location, there's ample space for seating which is great to grab coffee with friends or to work or read. There's a combination of tables and chairs as well as a cozy couch. You could even enjoy sitting outside on their patio. Everyone serving us was super friendly and the service was very quick for our coffees. We always enjoy grabbing cold brews from Moniker and look forward to visiting their new place again soon! read more

I ordered the tiramisu latte and my sister ordered the tiramisu matcha. The tiramisu cold foam was good, sweet and creamy! As someone who likes sweet coffee, the drink was a bit bitter for me but I still enjoyed it when the foam mixed in. The interior is open air and spacious with plenty of indoor seating. I was there around noon on a Monday but every table was full. Seems like a good spot to study or hang out! Service was friendly and quick. I would come back if I'm in the area. read more

I was excited to check it out while I was on my walk in the morning. I went in because I had seen a post on Instagram with different breakfast items. I was hungry. There was about five pastries in a case and I asked them about the menu because I had seen avocado toast and breakfast sandwiches. The gal at the counter said they don't do that that was a different location. The only thing they had was the four or five pastries in a case. I tried to ask them about the pastries and basically was brushed off. The employee was so rude and non caring. I just turned around and left. I guess this new place is going to be for snobs only and if you're looking for breakfast forget it they have crap looking pastries read more

Hawaiian latte!! Hands down my favorite drink there, try it iced. The service is always great.

Bro i never leave a review but this had gotta be the worst coffee shop of all time. Ordered two breakfast burritos and two lattes for my lady. Paid $45. Burritos are straight Jimmy Deans frozen burritos. Lattes was all sugar and water. Bathroom was insanely gross. Nefarious work by Moniker. I think i just got scammed. read more

Coffee is very bitter, I've had the tiramisu, carrot cake and lavender latte because I figured maybe it was just the one time. However the flavor is not there, it's super suttle, almost in the background when you drink it, all the lattes tasted the same. The ambience is great for studying or work and the staff is attentive and quick. read more
