    Cortado
    Joe C.

    The service here was top notch. Eli was very kind, courteous, and made a beautiful cortado. The shop itself has a nice outdoor seating area and plants throughout which makes for a nice ambiance. Given the name, I did expect more plants lol. I didn't try any of the food, but it did smell good and the pastries look delicious.

    Almond croissant

    Cute little coffee shop in OB! I love the vibe, it's very aesthetic with lots of plants and thoughtful decor. They have a few tables inside as well as some outdoor seating. I ordered a latte, which was good. The almond croissant was tasty at first, but the center was a bit off, it was overly gooey, and the filling didn't seem fully cooked and tasted a little strange. Aside from that, the rest of it was really delicious. I also love that they have vegan options Overall, it's a great spot to study or get some work done, and the staff was very friendly too.

    My husband and I were looking for a new Coffee Spot and stumbled upon this place. I actually saw this place multiple times when I used to go to yoga box but never saw that. Great spot if you're looking for your traditional coffees, there's not much of an expanded menu and smoothies or other juices. We also ordered their croissant breakfast sandwiches for a little disappointed that they kind of looked like reheated McDonald's sandwiches (tasted like it too). I wouldn't go back for the food but definitely want to go back for the vibes, plants, and coffee! Plants are all for sale. And patio is dog friendly!

    After enjoying time on the beach, we wanted a coffee before dropping our friend at the airport. We were NOT disappointed!! I was excited before walking in because this is a small business in every spirit of the phrase. Its a small café that serves coffee, tea, water, juice, and baked treats. They also have plants, plant paraphernalia, and local art to purchase. The café, though small, was inviting and quite lovely. The outside area was like sitting in a corner of a plant garden. The plants are labeled, in case you're curious about or wish to purchase one. Our drinks were all yummy. I was informed that not everyone knows how to make a London Fog and theirs was quite good! The White Mocha & Oat Milk Latte were both made just right. The server was friendly, made delicious drinks, and was knowledgeable about the plants. Exactly what you'd expect from a barista in such a place.

    Best coffee and atmosphere when we visited San Diego from out of town. The coffee is roasted to perfection and taste amazing! You'll love the plants that are everywhere and the face that you can earn plant rewards is awesome! A must visit if you're in OB. The staff are super friendly too!

    Banana bread latte

    Quaint coffee shop with a variety of options ranging from espresso to matcha. The barista recommended their special banana bread latte. The smell of the banana was a bit overpowering the coffee, but you could really taste how strong the coffee was. I was hoping for more of a banana and coffee mix. The service was great!

    Needed a little pick me up before yoga and found this quint little cafe just right across the studio. Service was fast. The latte was smooth and well balance, not too weak and not too milky, just what I wanted.

    I don't say this lightly, I have lived here for 10 years and I love supporting my local coffee shop businesses. Something about the espresso at OB coffee and plants is like elite. Never been better. I go here at least once a week now and it's just delicious and I have no other way to explain it, I'm curious if people were to get other drinks if they would also be as incredible as the latte that I get. Take it from me, go get yourself a coffee, cheers.

    I got the banana bread latte, hoping that it would not be too sweet and luckily, it was just the right balance of flavor and sweetness. First sip really felt like I had just eaten a real banana bread!! Definitely one of my favorites where they got the banana note and cinnamon just right. Not to mention, I feel like the prices here are reasonable for coffee especially in this economy. Vibes are cute as it doubles as a plant nursery. Cute patio seating and some indoor seating. Plants on sale for $4+. It might be good for maybe wfh but I didn't see outlets. Overall a chill, cute local cafe that is worth a visit for their delicious banana bread latte for the fall!

    This is a nice little coffee shop as you enter Ocean Beach from the 8. They sport inside and outside seating, including various plants and succulents for sale. They do a lot of their own propagation, too. I had a cortado and an oatmeal cookie with cranberries. The cortado was very well made. The young lady from Oregon did a very nice job on it. It was smooth and rich. The oatmeal cookie was good, too. It had a good chew and nice flavor. The little bits of cranberries were good eating. They offer a variety of espresso based beverages, vegan and non vegan baked goods, and breakfast sandwiches, not to mention toasted bagels as well. The service was very friendly and upbeat. If there were a way they could reduce the number of flies during the warmed month, that would be grand. Cool spot!

    Delightful!

    Super adorable tiny cafe serving up great coffee in the middle of darling OB. Live like a local, walk to this sweet cafe and take it all in. Quiet early in the morning. Latte was on-point!

    Banana bread latte

    Happened to find this place on maps when I was searching up vegan places nearby. While this place isn't fully vegan, they have a ton of vegan options from pastries to breakfast items. I would highly recommend checking this place out! I got the banana bread latte and it was great!!! I have no complaints.

    I love this cute little place. The employees are always kind and they always make me the cutest latte art! The vibes are very friendly, welcoming, earthy, and relaxing. They also support a lot of local artists! I enjoy the flavor of their coffee too :)

    So good. I would rather support an independent shop/stand than a huge coffee corp. Very good and the pastries were so good.

    Lazy Eye Coffee was hands down one of my favorite coffee stops in Mission Beach! I'm OBSESSED with…read moretheir Banana Bread Latte. Served hot or cold this is amazing & a must try. The shop has a super laid-back vibe. You order at the window & there are a couple of tables on the sidewalk if you want to hang out for a bit, but it's definitely more of a grab-and-go coffee spot. Service is friendly & don't let the line scare you away, it moves fast. If you're in Mission Beach & looking for a great coffee come here!

    Don't blink or you'll miss this teeny, adorable coffee cart…read more My fiancé and I were craving a cup of coffee after a leisurely stroll along Mission Beach on a random Saturday morning....where to go that isn't Starbucks? Lazy Eye to the rescue! Lazy Eye is sandwiched between two buildings with one table out front. It's a to-go place. When you're that close to the beach, who wants to be inside anyway? While they do offer regular brewed coffee, I'm pretty certain their specialty is all the delicious frou-frou coffee drinks. I usually don't go for them, but today, I was in the mood for it. Their milk chocolate mocha with light ice was delicious It made me very happy and our pup was super happy with the treat they gave him. They have a small bakery display which I passed on since we were getting brunch soon, but I'm sure there's something for everyone there. This location is open 7 days a week- 6:30am-1pm. Limited street parking as expected...it's Mission Beach. 5 stars! Check them out!

    What a beautiful coffee/shop/bar here near Liberty Station market and so glad I randomly stopped…read morein! I will definitely be coming here, over and over again! In the early afternoon, this place had a line, which is a good sign. The line moved quickly but also gave me time to study their menu to see what I wanted. They specialize in Hawaiian style drinks, so I settled on a Hawaiian matcha. The guy taking me order was super sweet and friendly. I was wearing my favorite Monterey Bay Aquarium sweatshirt and he commented on how that aquarium is one of his favorites! Me too! He asked me what was my favorite thing about the aquarium and I told him the sea otters. I asked what his favorite was and he said the jellyfish exhibition and omg that was soo good! I remember being at that exhibit for awhile as the jellyfish light up and there are so many kinds and so cool to see how they move! In any case, it was so nice to talk about an aquarium we both love!! The Hawaiian matcha was great! I love that they used their Hawaiian syrup in my drink. The drink was pricey, so with oat milk substitution, and a tip, it came to $10. But, think of it this way, you are also using their beautiful facilities and you can lounge here and do work, read, spend some time here. The place is massive, with tons of seating inside (its all open space, so a nice ocean breeze keeps coming thru), and lots of seats outside too! I LOVE THIS PLACE!! I will definitely be coming back here and next time, gonna bring some work and books to read and post up here!!

    This spot looked really nice and I wanted to order a latte and cold brews. They told me they didn't…read morehave any more lattes and made the cold brews. The service wasn't that great as no one was in line but I waited a few minutes to have my order taken.than my drinks were put aside with no covers and I had to ask about covers and straws as well as a cup holder. The cup holder was a 4 piece one that was cut in half so it was really flimsy. The spot looked nice inside. My cold brew actually tasted like it was soapy or flowery. This spot was just okay
