We visited during Chicano Day at Chicano Park, and this was the first coffee shop we saw, so we…read moredecided to hop in line that was established. Unfortunately, there were no signs or guidance showing where the line should be directed, which made things confusing from the beginning. By the time I reached the front, the owner (I'm assuming) a woman with glasses and long black hair spoke to me in a passive-aggressive tone and told me the line was actually on the other side. Given the setup, it wasn't obvious at all. There's a fence directly in front of the shop, and with the large crowds that day, it was even more chaotic. I tried to be understanding and moved to the correct spot, but while I was waiting for my drink, she repeated the same interaction with several other customers in the same tone. People were clearly confused, walking around the fence trying to figure things out, and without any guidance, I saw multiple customers leave frustrated. Customer service, especially from the owner, was disappointing and could definitely be improved particularly during busy events when clear communication matters most. That said, I'll give credit where it's due: the drinks were great. I'd rate my banana coffee a solid 4.5/5, it was delicious, and the heart-shaped straw was a really cute touch. If you're running a business, especially in a high-traffic setting, better organization and customer service would make a huge difference.

A small coffee shop on Imperial Ave right next to a barbershop. From the moment I walked in, I was…read moregreeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I ordered the pistachio cream latte and the ham and cheese croissant. The latte was so delicious, creamy, smooth, and perfectly balanced. You could actually taste the pistachio without it overpowering the coffee, and the pistachio crumbs on top were such a tasty touch. The ham and cheese croissant was flaky with a nice crunch and really hit the spot. The customer service was excellent. The guy who took my order was very friendly and even let me know ahead of time that there might be a bit of a wait. He was kind enough to bring my order to me when it was ready, which I really appreciated. Overall, a great little coffee shop with delicious drinks, tasty food, and genuinely friendly service.

I asked the cashier for some recommendations and loved what I ended up trying. I'm already thinking about coming back to try a matcha. I got the iced pistachio cream latte and oh my gosssh the cold foam!? made just right! so creamy, super flavorful, and you can really taste the pistachio. I love that the cold foam is made in house. The only thing is I'm not sure if that's their normal iced coffee size (I forgot to ask bc I got distracted after trying the cold foam/ so good) but for $7 I'd def want a bigger cup next time. The espresso itself was a solid 10/10 ! The vibe here is super cute, the owner was super sweet and I love the merch, the name of the shop and even the drink names. Street parking I went around 1ish and found a spot right away, but it could be a hit or miss. This spot is worth checking out for sure!

Not gonna lie, I almost didn't stop here because my first impression was, "there's no way I'm…read moregetting coffee in the streets" but it was definitely worth the stop. It's a tiny little spot right next to a parking lot and sidewalk - you might miss it. I ordered a Mexican Mocha (hot) since I wanted something different - to my surprise they use oat milk which made the flavor interesting (in a good way). The drink was not too sweet which I liked because sometimes people just go overboard with sweetness. They have pastries (vegan) which is not my cup of tea so I stuck to just a mocha. This is a place owned by Evan (I think that's his name) and his wife. He was very friendly and as I watched hi make the Mexican Mocha I noticed he actually enjoys what he does. Give this place a try. I basically just stopped by because I was taking a detour that brought me here.

I almost always order my coffee with oat milk and will pay the $1-2 extra for the oat milk. Imagine my surprise when I realized their drinks are made with oat milk! Omg! I didn't have to pay extra! And then because I am so used to all these coffee chains and their drinks having 6282727 grams of sugar I ask for my drinks half sweet. Imagine my surprise again when Evan, one of the owners, told me, oh we make our drinks about half sweet anyways. I highly recommend this place. Husband and wife team. Delicious coffee and you're supporting local.

We ordered the carne con papas burrito, and it was hot, flavorful, and paired perfectly with their fresh red and green salsas. For drinks, we got the Banana Mazapán with butter cookie foam and the Arroz con Leche Latte with vanilla foam. Both were perfectly balanced, and I loved that the arroz con leche latte has actual rice in it! Friendly staff, great vibes, reasonable prices, and so many things I still want to try.

Where to even begin…read more.. Joehns has easily become my favorite coffee shop of all time. From the welcoming atmosphere of the shop itself, to the delicious coffee, to the unforgettably kind owners Joe and John. Joehns is very involved with its community, including custom made artwork, sculptures, mugs--that alone makes you feel like you are a part of something, a part of San Diego, a part of Joehns! I cannot conclude this review without discussing how overwhelmed with appreciation I am with the owners. We spoke with John as we learned more about the shop, and he gave us Happy Beans, a sort of lucky bean or a talisman, which I will undoubtedly carry with me as a reminder to be the kindness I saw in John. Prior to leaving, John stopped my sister and I to offer us each a free bouquet of flowers Be the change you want to see in the world. Thank you Joe and John for such an incredible experience and thank you for building Joehns with such love and care. Every customer feels it and carries it with them! You are both so very appreciated!

I also thought it was cool that my Husband was able to order the chicken sandwich protein style. This made it come out without a bun and so he was able to eat it like a salad.

The service was fast and friendly. The not so good: Their cold brew cups/lids are terrible. Everytime you take a drink the rim of the cup dribbles coffee out. I got coffee on my shirt . I thought maybe the lid just wasn't on all the way, but nope, it just straight up leaks with every sip. Proceed with caution. The nitro was okay, not as smooth as nitro typically is. It honestly just looked and tasted like regular cold brew. There was no typical foam drop you see from a fresh tapped nitro pour.
