Morning Dew is a vendor setup inside Jaguar Paw during the daytime hours when the Barrio Logan listening bar is not operating. The menu featured various matcha tea drinks which seems to be all the rage right now. The same seating arrangement of the bar countertop and tables across from it was available if you wanted to hang out and chill. A sign behind the bar described the ceremonial grade matcha that was used with the region of origin and the flavors imparted to the powder. Five different matcha drinks were offered along with hot and cold coffees and lattes. The top three matcha choices were priced at $8 each. I chose the Ordinary Pleasure which was the first one. Pandan sticky rice milk and mango puree were added to the matcha and topped with a salted coconut foam. I wasn't a fan of the foam, but the matcha flavor was intense and contrasted by the fruity puree on the bottom of the cup. The baristas were very focused with measuring the exact amounts for each ingredient in the drinks they were preparing. The matcha quality seemed to be very good based on what I tasted so maybe it's why the price was $1 higher than what I have tried elsewhere. read more

I got the Original Pleasure Matcha which had pandan sticky rice milk, mango puree, ceremonial matcha topped with salted coconut foam. I honestly expected this drink to be very gimmicky and too sweet but was surprised when it seemed to strike the perfect balance. I could taste both the matcha AND the mango puree AND the salted coconut foam without one overpowering the other! What delicious witchcraft is this? The mango was subtle but there. The drink was creamy and thick. Such a refreshing summer drink! The cafe itself is super cute and quaint with a trendy, boho chic vibe. Baristas were super friendly. I would come back again! read more

The mango sticky rice latte with salted coconut foam was by far the best I've had. It actually tastes like real mango sticky rice! The balance of flavors was spot on, and the matcha was perfectly blended with the milk for a smooth, not-too-sweet finish. The space is cute with an organic modern design and a soft color palette throughout their seating and cushions. Definitely planning to come back to try more from their menu! read more

Morning Dew - ORDINARY PLEASURE Mango Sticky rice flavored Matcha Latte with a Salted Coconut Foam - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Morning Dew just became my new favorite spot for matcha! I ordered the Money Trees and absolutely loved it--the salted coconut cream on top was the perfect balance of rich and salty, and it paired so well with the banana profile running through the drink. Super refreshing, unique, and not overly sweet. Definitely a must-try if you're into creative matcha drinks. I'll be back to explore more of their menu! read more

Morning Dew is a matcha cafe project by day that turns into a well-known bar at Jaguar Paw. They are located right in the heart of the Barrio Logan area. They do not have a parking lot here, but there is a lot of street parking all around the area. Inside, they have a nice and modern setup with about 5-6 tables for seating. For their menu, they have a unique concoction of different latte and matcha drinks to choose from. I ended up getting the Ordinary Pleasure which comes with pandan sticky rice, mango, ceremonial matcha, and coconut cold foam. Overall, I really liked the laid back vibes of the spot. All of the staff here are friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend checking them out if you are ever in the area. read more

I love this place! The concept is p cool it's normally a bar called Jaguar Paw in the evening but during the day it's a cafe called Morning Dew! So if you're looking for Morning Dew look for the Jaguar Paw sign since they're the same place! Their menu has some unique options the "ordinary pleasure" is their take on a mango sticky rice matcha w a salted coconut foam. Their "money trees" is actually the first pandan, coconut, banana matcha I've ever had or seen offered at a cafe! It also comes w the salted coconut foam. The ordinary pleasure was a nice natural tasting mango it didn't taste artificial at all and I was surprised at how strong the mango flavor was even though there wasn't a huge amount of mango puree at the bottom! The money trees definitely leaned more on the pandan side with a strong pandan flavor with some slight hints of coconut and banana! The ordinary pleasure always definitely more sweet than the money trees as well but both were good and I would get them again! I'm also curious to try their coffee especially their Jasmine latte or guayaba latte since I haven't seen those commonly offered at cafes! They were pretty busy when we went on a Sunday but they were also hosting a pop up with a Korean cream puff business "Mon Chourie" so that probably contributed to how busy they were! We still got our drinks pretty fast though despite how busy they were and it did calm down by the time we left. I saw on their Instagram that they do little pop ups w businesses periodically and would definitely be interested to come back for those since Mon Chourie was SO GOOD, they literally filled the cream puffs in front of you after you ordered them and I'm still thinking about their choux au craquelin. Going when they had Mon Chourie there w their delicious pastries definitely added to my first experience with trying Morning Dew and I would want to come back again to try more drinks from them! read more

As much as I'd like to keep this place a secret it would be doing them a disservice. This is absolutely without a doubt in my mind my favorite matcha spot in San Diego even possibly all of SoCal and at that maybe even all of California. I've been all over the place, tried many different spots but the consistency in flavor, and service is unmatched here. I can proudly say I've tried everything on the menu and loved just about everything except for warm bevs (not their fault I just don't like warm bevs lol). They have cool theming inside however make sure you check their hours because they share the space with a bar in the afternoon/evening. I make many matcha's at home but their quality is so good, that I go to them rather than drink my own sometimes because I simply love it. read more

I saw an IG reel about Morning Dew and made time on a weekend to go, as it's a bit out of the way for me. The road to Money Trees was somewhat chaotic for me, but I am glad I got to try this unique drink. Ultimately, I would rate this a 3.5ish for me, but I do tend to round up for small businesses. My tip for anyone reading this review is that the hours are not exact on any site I checked. Since Morning Dew is run by one person, I definitely understand that it's more difficult to start precisely on time. I would advise either clearer communication of daily hours on their IG, or to simply come by later to give them some cushion for set-up. I ended up waiting an hour from the listed opening time for the owner to finish setting up. Thankfully, there were plenty of things to do in the surrounding area, and I took a nice stroll, popping in and out of shops in the area. Morning Dew is located in Jaguar Paw, which is a bar at night. The space is super cute and the menu has many unique drinks that tempted me, but I ended up going with Money Trees, which has pandan and banana. I have never had a banana-flavored drink before but I saw a lot of hype around these types of drinks, so I wanted to give them a try myself. It was pretty pricy but as a sweet-treat advocate, I wanted to try something new. Upon first sip, I was hit with strong pandan and banana flavors. There was a slightly astringent aftertaste from the banana, so I do feel like the flavor is from real fruit and not artificial syrup. Unfortunately, it was not my favorite drink as I think I prefer more matcha-forward options. It was also a bit thinner than I prefer, so it felt like a banana juice. While I am intrigued by some of the other drinks on offer, I do not think Morning Dew will become part of my regular rotation. Between the prices, location, and hours, this is definitely a special occasion, friends-in-town type of spot for me. read more

Morning Dew Libations Coffee in Barrio Logan was such a lovely stop. Their seasonal Noche Buena drink was outstanding. The aroma of the nutmeg, the clove syrup, and the mix of spices came together beautifully with the espresso. The shop was decorated for the holidays, which added to the cozy vibe, and the staff was friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. I highly recommend checking it out. read more

I ordered the Jasmine Latte and it ended up being one of my favorite lattes in San Diego! They use jasmine blossom infused honey and it ended up tasting like a mix between coffee and jasmine milk tea, while being the perfect balance of sweetness and strength. Super delicious and almost refreshing! My boyfriend ordered the Money Trees, which was also delicious. The matcha was pretty decent quality. The banana and pandan flavors were both pretty subtle but in a good way and the salted coconut foam was delicious! Highly recommend this place. read more

My friend recommended their Money Tree matcha latte. It did not disappoint! There's pandan and banana in it and I actually liked it! It's not too bitter or too sweet. They use oat milk which is great for those who are lactose intolerant (like my husband lol). It is a bit pricey though $8 but comparable (unfortunately) to other matcha/coffee places read more

I have seen so many tiktoks about Morning Dew so I decided that I would treat myself to a little beverage after my strenuous morning workout. I came on a Saturday morning around 10 am and the streets were already started to get packed, i was lucky enough to find parking on the bridge. I was greeted as soon as I came in, it was nice and cozy and there was a little pop up serving pastries. I ended up ordering the Ordinary Pleasure and ordered from the pop up. When I got my drink, I took a sip and I was a little underwhelmed, the mango was bitter. The cost was $8 which was a bit pricier than my normal matcha spot. I stirred my drink and let it settle and that's when it all came together. While you can still taste the matcha, the stinky mango aspect of it was just as prominent. I was pleasantly surprised by this and was so happy, I finished it so quickly and think about it so much now that I'm matchaless at my office. The next day they launched an ube matcha and I need to go and try it this weekend! read more

A hidden gem that everyone should try. I think ordinary pleasures is the best thing on the menu, but this is not to downplay the other things on the menu. The decor is dope - definitely a vibe !! I would come back again and recommend to others. Service is great - just gotta be patient. read more

Morning Dew at Jaguar Paw is such a vibe! The whole place is super cute and gives off a fun, cozy energy. Their matcha flavors are really creative -- I had Ordinary Pleasure, and it totally reminded me of mango sticky rice (in the best way possible). Pro tip: give it a good mix before sipping. Absolutely delicious. Can't wait to come back and try more! read more

Sorry I have to update and give This place a low score now although the drinks are amazing. The hours are frustratingly never consistent. Don't come to this place without calling to see if they're opened. They're frequently closed and the hours are never correct. They open and close according to their whims. Repeat: CALL and see if they're open and save yourself the hassle read more

Whoever said don't believe everything you see on social media has never been to Morning Dew. Their Mango Sticky Rice Matcha Latte has to be one of the best matcha drinks I've ever had. I've always been curious about their other drinks, but it's hard not to order the same thing. I believe this place is still fairly new, as it's a coffee shop during the day and bar at night. Still, excellent service and great vibes inside. Overall a great experience for anyone who loves matcha. Would I go again? Absolutely! read more

Hands down the best matcha in San Diego! Money Trees is truly addictive. It's unbelievably smooth, creamy, refreshing, delicious, and perfectly balanced. You can taste the quality of the ceremonial matcha and the pandan and banana flavors that actually taste like the real deal and complement each other so well, along with the (already vegan!) salted coconut cream foam, which is just divine and so creamy. The Ordinary Pleasure was great too though preferred Money Trees. The service is always stellar. Shout out to Angel. Definitely a must-try for matcha lovers! I've already been here Sunday, Tuesday and going back Saturday. Check their Insta for their most up to date hours @morningdewsd read more

The mango sticky rice matcha pulled us into this spot. The rice milk and mango puree really made it taste like I was drinking mango sticky rice! I loved the creamy consistency that the cold foam on top added. We popped in on a Saturday morning and there was even a mango sticky rice pop up that you could order from as well. If you're a mango sticky rice lover, this is your spot. read more

I came to Morning Dew because I heard about their mango sticky rice matcha and oh my god... it was everything I hoped for. It's made with mango puree, rice milk, and a salted coconut cold foam which brings the perfect slightly savory element of mango sticky rice. Even with all of these flavors the matcha could still shine through with an earthy touch. I personally prefer when my matcha isn't to sweet, and even though this is a sweet drink it didn't feel overwhelming. The space with super cute and trendy and they had a good amount of seating for a small cafe. You can see the matcha being made in front of you too which really adds to the experience. I highly recommend if you love a fun matcha. read more

Morning Dew - : Ordinary Pleasure - $8.00 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

This is the BEST matcha I have ever had. Their "ordinary pleasure" is seriously what dreams are made of. The flavors all flow soooo well together and make for a drink that makes you want to come back for more. I live in north county San Diego and I already want to come back as soon as I can for more. They have very unique drinks aside from matcha on their menu too. I saw a Jasmine latte and guayaba latte on their menu that I'm dying to try next. Where else can you find drinks this unique??! With all of the coffee shops popping up everywhere, it's nice to try a place that offers a different combination of flavors and unique drinks you can't get anywhere else. Also, the ambiance inside is beautiful! I came during a pop up with another small business so it was PACKED and there was no seating but it was super cute inside. Also, parking can be a pain if you come on a weekend because it's a busy street! read more

Their mango sticky rice matcha is delicious. Great place so go study too very lowkey during the week.

This is the best Matcha in SD, and I don't say that lightly. The matcha is authentic and organic to its traditional taste but then you add coconut foam or the mango and it's just delicious. If anyone tries to tell you Hinar, Java earth, or easy does it has good matcha, they don't know what they're talking about. The only good matcha I've found in San Diego are here at Morning Dew and at Rikka Fika. I do think the customer service could be better here, but I'll put up with the lack of it because the drinks are so good. read more

Amazing!! Best matcha I've had in San Diego. Money Trees might be the best matcha drink I've ever had. The banana taste is strong, delicious, and not artificial; and the coconut foam is a really great pairing! I came 3 times in one week when I first discovered this place. read more

Heard about this mango sticky rice matcha that I HAD to try. On the main strip of barrio you can find this very air conditioned coffee shop. It's very cute on the inside. Looks like a good place to work or just grab a drink with a friend. They use ceremonial matcha which takes proper time and love to create so if you are someone used to fast drinks you get to practice patience. Which is worth it because you can taste the difference. Silky and rich. Flavors were good, but I do wish I had a little more of the mango & the coconut foam. Am interested in trying a few of their other drinks so I'm excited to keep exploring read more

We decided to try out this new place. It was a good experience. The drinks were great. The money tree was significantly better in our opinions. It had a balance sweetness of pandan and a small hint of banana. The coconut foam added a nice touch. The mango sticky rice matcha was okay. It may be great stand alone, but when compared with the other drink, it fell flat a bit. The atmosphere was nice with some cute decor. read more

The matcha is rich and creamy. They also have a lot of different flavors and the flooring doesn't over power the matcha. The service was slow but good! I do wish they had more flavors.
