We went for a late breakfast and they didn't disappoint. My husband ordered a breakfast sandwich and I ordered soup and a sandwich. Both were great and inexpensive.

We will be back again for sure.

Small locally owned coffee shop in National a city giving Barrio Logan/Chicana/o representation…read more Friendly staff, neat decor. Decided to try a few coffees the Crema de Olla and Cruella 2.0. I so badly want to love all small coffee shops but the taste fell short. I did like the taste however it doesn't necessarily taste like the notes in the description. We also tasted a pasty that was over baked borderline burnt (croisssant). Tiny indoor can get crammed fairly quickly , would advise to check out the menu outside. All in all will still return if in the area to try other flavors and see if I fall in love. Don't forget to pick up a card for stamps!

I loved the balloon man greeting from the sidewalk!…read more Ambience of the coffee shop was very nicely done. The owner is very friendly and cheerful, and she made us feel welcome and comfortable! My son loved his beverage. The ice is made from frozen coffee. There are pastries for humans and four legged friends! I would definitely come back here again.

Very cute shop! Was looking for a shop with matcha open a little later and found this place on…read moreyelp. The shop itself is little and the inside looks adorable. The shop owner is very sweet she was so welcoming when I came in. They had a bunch of options for drinks. I got 3 matchas for myself and some friends and I tried the tres leches matcha and it was very good! i had no idea what to expect but I liked it. I was worried about the matcha color but it was tasty I personally like sweeter drinks though. I also bought some cookies for my dogs they look super cute and I know they'll love it. I would come back just to support this little business.

I believe I have just found my new favorite coffee shop on Third ave. I've been here once before…read morebut this was my first time trying the food and holy moly! Lets talk about the vibes first...amazing decor and vibes, decor and walls and atmosphere is very cool and unique I truly love it so much. The staff is very nice, offering suggestions on drinks with big smiles and welcoming energy. Now the drinks and food: the drink I got last time was an iced mocha (no picture but I remember it was very good). This time I went with my mom and we both got the "Moon" drink.. a Chai/Matcha which was such a good drink, I want like a 40oz of it to take with me home for the week. I also ordered the pesto turkey sandwhich to share and I can not express how good this was. Perfectly crispy, juicy and fresh. Took the first bite and literally gasped because not only was the bread toasted to perfection but the veggies and turkey were so flavorful. The veggies and pesto and turkey were also layered in a way that made every bite delectable and that to me is art. Loved it, want more of it and I WILL be back to try more drinks and sandwhiches.

Eeeeek! Omg I love this place and you will too after reading my review…read more I've recently found this place from a studio I go to nearby. It's third ave I mean if you are from San Diego you know it's either neighborhood parking or the meters. Not a big deal though. I am greeted by Karely and her big smile, one of the baristas. It is tiny location but long, they have two gender neutral bathrooms at the end. A few tables to sit down inside and out. A cute bench with the view of third ave traffic. Interior decor is super cute I loved, one of my favs was this board they have which is a basically you pay a coffee forward and you put the sticky there for the next person to get their drink. I totally don't work there so I would just reconfirm what can be redeemed. Drink: I get an iced dirty chai WITH banana cold foam. 10/10 must try. They also offer matcha for you matcha lovers. Grind house has found a new customer and yes, I've already brought so many friends here. My only suggestion would be to maybe have a phone charging station, that's all! :)

So are you looking for a nice little and quaint place to have some breakfast or lunch? Well look…read moreno further than Flora's Cafe. The ambiance inside is so nice, with a long velvet/velour bench and some comfortable chairs and solid stone looking tables, they have put some thought and effort into their aesthetic. But of course we come for the food and drinks, right? So they do have a pretty good selection of sandwiches, salads, and pastries. Their drink menu is also quite good and they also have their signature drinks and food. The place is always clean and neat, and so welcoming. My favorite sandwiches are the grilled cheese and the roast beef. I would have the roast beef more but I have to watch what I eat or i get gout. I love this place as they are so accommodating and also listened to some of my suggestions. When they first opened up they would just serve their sandwich with no side, just the sandwich. But i will say that they do charge a fair amount, and for that amount it would be nice to have something else on the side. So my suggestion was to either derive a little house salad or some chips to fill out the plate and to add some texture to the meal. And to my surprise the next day they had added a little salad to the meal. And might i add I really don't like salads, but this one is very delicious, and adds a bit of different texture and some acidity to your meal. The drinks are nice and are made right there. They are always served in nice glassware if you are drinking there. I am not a big coffee drinker so I usually will go with a chai or some tea. I love that they will make it either hot or cold to your liking. I was a bit worried when they started up, as i thought that this was not a good time in the economy to open up a business. But they are doing remarkably well and they are quite busy most of the time. I love to see a place doing well, so when we climb up the stairs to go to work, we have a nice start to our day to see all the happy people inside eating and drinking. I wish they continued success, but I know they have found their niche and a good formula for success.

We live in California, afterall, where there are a lot of vegetarians. Beans can very easily taste delicious without using any meat products (like lard). The breakfast potatoes were undercooked, too. Besides the food, the service was okay-as was the simple ambiance. I might come back, if I'm ever in the area. It was a total of $30 for my meal: French Toast meal, side of potatoes which was an extra cost, and orange juice-a lot of pulp, but not fresh squeezed.
