    Visiting family in SD, and we were all in the mood for matcha and wanted to try this place out after looking at all the reviews. It was a little hard to find parking. We got there and it looked super cute from the outside and even nicer from the inside. All the pastries looked amazing as well. It was a busy time and the poor girl was taking orders as well as making them. We all ordered iced matchas. When we all tried it, we all thought it was nothing special...unfortunately.

    The pistachio cheesecake was beyond amazing. So creamy and rich. It was really really good that I cannot stop say no lol. I can eat the whole cake. The staff was nice to describe all the cheesecakes to us. We sat outside and ate the cheesecake it the breezy outdoors.

    Lotus Cheesecake
    Erika T.

    Such a cute spot with unique interior, as well as nice outdoor seating. The drink menu was small and straight forward but the dessert options were nice. Parking may be tough so expect a walk unless you're lucky! We went late in the day and most of the popular desserts were gone, so we tried the Lotus (Biscoff) cheesecake. We also got a regular latte on the side, which was a great idea to pair with the sweet cheesecake. The cheesecake filling was more like a cream & fluff rather than your typical thick texture cheesecake. It kinda threw me off but it was different so I didn't mind. The cookie butter layer was thick and hard to work with. It is a small portion but split between 2 people is just right, as the sweetness can be too much after awhile. I would definitely come back to try their other cheesecakes!

    Pretty busy on a Friday afternoon and had to share a group table. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Overall good place to work/study at with nicely decorated interior. Didn't try their drinks but we shared the lotus (biscoff) cake and the San Sebastian pistachio basque cheesecake. The lotus cake was delicious! Definitely on the sweeter side but I loved it. The pistachio basque cheesecake was pretty good and super creamy.

    Lovely little spot to study or work with a little treat. I think this place must be a converted old house, and they've maintained that vibe inside! There is plenty of seating in the cozy indoors space or the open patio. The menu offers Turkish coffee and tea, along with more common offerings. I tried the hazelnut coffee, which the barista told me is a traditional Turkish coffee made concentrated with hazelnuts and spices. It was excellent! Definitely more of a work/study vibe than social, and their strong wifi endorses that!

    Muri Coffee and Dessert has an interior that is honestly to die for. The space is beautifully designed with earthy, deep colors, colorful rugs, and such a cozy, aesthetic vibe. It's a great place to hang out, there's plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, and both areas are equally cute and inviting. The staff are great and make the experience even better. The coffee and tea are both really well done, and the desserts are amazing too, a bit on the sweeter side for me, but still delicious. I also love that they have books for both kids and adults, which adds to the cozy, welcoming feel. Overall, such a great spot to relax, hang out, or spend some time enjoying the atmosphere.

    A small shop with homy vibes to work or hang! There are plenty of tables to work at with ample amounts of chargers! I had an amazing service from the cashier who was knowledgeable in recommending a combination of their specialities. Qezwan - This was my first time trying qezwan and I really enjoyed the light nutty flavor. Pistachio Cake - Not too sweet with a strong pistachio flavor. The texture was just right as it was not too thick or thin. Will be coming back as this is my new favorite study spot!

    Muri coffee shop has a variety of unique desserts and coffee flavors. I especially liked their pistachio cheesecake. The people that work there are very friendly, warm, and approachable. Ambiance is cozy and makes you feel like you are at home. I definitely recommend this coffee shop if you want to try unique flavors and experience wonderful customer service.

    Pistachio raspberry cake bar I forgot what it was called ahhh
    Barbara M.

    LOVE this place! Came here on a whim when the other nearby cafes weren't what I was looking for. This place was so cute inside and outside, and had such yummy desserts. The barista was so sweet and recommended the pistachio and raspberry cake bar - it was delicious and filling! I sat outside and it was such a nice atmosphere. A lot of people hanging out and working on their computers. I would 100% come back whenever I am in north park!

    My husband and I stopped here to grab coffee and absolutely loved it. We ordered a cortado, macchiato, and a pistachio cake, and all of them were simply outstanding. The coffee was one of the best I've had in San Diego -- so good that we came back again during our 5-day trip just for it. The pistachio cake was perfectly balanced -- fresh, not too sweet, with a melt-in-the-mouth texture, exactly how I expected it to be. The ambience is the cherry on top -- beautiful, spacious, very well kept, with plenty of quiet corners to sit and enjoy your coffee. The service was quick, and the lady at the counter was kind enough to suggest options and patiently answer my questions. I would definitely visit again on my next trip. Highly recommend!

    Pistachio San Sebastian and hazelnut coffee
    Thomas E.

    Quaint little cafe that feels like a step into the middle east. Cozy seating both inside and out, came here on a rainy day and it was a packed house, not a seat to be had. Lots of people chilling and also working. Nice selection of sweets, I went with the pistachio San Sebastian which basically was like a basque cheese cake. Really nice texture and flavor. There is a regular coffee menu plus a kurdish menu. The kurdish coffee is very similar to a Turkish coffee where the grounds are at the bottom. I got the hazelnut kurdish coffee which was slightly sweeter and more flavorful than the regular kurdish coffee. Very bitter though and honestly not a strong taste of coffee. Also it's a very small cup and half of it is the grounds so it's really only a few sips. Interesting to try but I wouldn't get it again or recommend.

    unique cafe. kurdish drinks ive never had. never heard of qezwan and i tried it for the first time. did not enjoy it but cool to try

The latte was good, and my friend bought a kitchen sink type cookie with chocolate, coconut, and macadamia nuts. It was warm and gooey good! Another friend tried the gelato and said it was very good.

The decor and tables definitely gives you an old school Italian neighborhood vibe with Italian markets right next door.

Pizza was good, but soggy in the middle. The pasta was good, no complaints there. The sandwich was very lacking in the meat department... It was basically a bread and arugula sandwich. Had very low expectations for the gelato to begin with seeing as the colors were extremely unnatural and the way it was heaped was a clear indication to me that it is not legitimate gelato and unfortunately, I was proven very right. I got the strawberry so that my toddler could have a few few bites and it was so unnatural and weird tasting that she didn't even want any... And if that doesn't say something! My husband got the coffee flavor and he literally took three bites and threw it away as well. I will say, though, on the food front, the prices are reasonable here all things considered, but maybe stick with pasta... based on everything As a whole though, you can likely get a much more legitimate Italian meal somewhere else in the area, but it will probably cost you more.

So we decided on Nonna's for their variety of pastas and pizza. The evening was packed with people up and down the streets. However, when we arrived at Nonna's we only had to wait no more than a couple of minutes before being seated. We thought most italian places would provide some sort of complimentary bread, but this place did not. We ended up ordering the Carbonara, Fusilli Alla Vodka, Pappardelle, and Salsiccia pizza. Each were fantastic, but the family really enjoyed the Fusilli and the Pappardelle the most! The short rib meat was extremely tender and flavorful. Portions were a little smaller than expected, but it was enough to feed each of us with a couple slices of pizza to spare. Ambiance was nice and the staff was great. A drink we ordered was forgotten, but it's understandable since it was quite busy. Overall, great experience and glad we ended up at Nonna's even though it wasn't part of the batch of recommendations provided online.

There was hardly anyone in line when we walked in, but by the time we got our gelato and turned around, the line was out the door!

What made the experience even better was the staff. One of the employees was incredibly friendly, energetic, and genuinely passionate about the gelato. He encouraged us to sample flavors, asked what kinds of flavors we enjoyed, and made thoughtful recommendations based on our preferences.
