They have an outstanding Pistachio Latte. The syrup is made in house and there are small chunks of pistachios in the bottom. I find at most coffee shops, I need to add an extra shot. I always like to try it as is for my first time. This coffee is outstanding!! read more

I was really excited to try this spot but honestly it didn't live up to the hype. I ordered the Dubai Croissant, Dubai Strawberries, and the Tiramisu Latte. The Dubai Croissant was just okay. Looks better than what it tastes like. I saw an influencer post a video reviewing several stuff on the menu but mine barely had any filling compared to hers. Hardly any of the crunchy stuff and no chocolate inside at all. Definitely not what I expected or what I saw on the video. The Dubai Strawberries were the biggest letdown. The cup is tiny, smaller than a Starbucks grande, and it was $12.95. For that price, Juice Time is way better and bigger and around the same price. The Tiramisu Latte was also a miss. It didn't really taste like tiramisu, just a regular latte. Nothing special. Overall, food was not the best. Service was not bad and the ambiance was ok. read more

So grateful to live next to this gem. Stumbled upon it randomly when I took my niece to the park. I got the pistachio iced latte (they use real pistachio cream) so it doesn't taste like artificial syrups ! 10/10 I loved how it was strong and not too sweet. I'd like to try the habibi latte next time I'll be back TODAY read more

Great spot with a relaxing atmosphere! The Dubai croissant was amazing, it melted in your mouth! We also tried the habibi latte and the passion fruit tea and were both very good! Friendly staff as well! Would recommend a visit! read more

New to the Cafe today. The person at the counter was very helpful. She recommended the pistachio latte. It was very good and came just like all the pictures showed. I did join the rewards club. Im going to keep coming back. Since Bella Cafe was closing, I had to find another place and not a big chain coffee place. I did try something new as well...one of the desserts. It was the pistachio. New taste for me, I would probably get it again or try something new. This was clean and quaint place to get coffee and sit and do remote work or relax and just enjoy the ambiance. read more

i always used to order the strawberry Dubai cup, but when i came in to order the workers didn't come for a good while, when i received my food the chocolate was so dry and it was in blocks instead of melt. and i didn't wait for it i just sat down in the car and ate it, i noticed that my stomach started to hurt ALOT and realized that it was expired. Oh and the strawberries gone bad when i ate it it was so disgusting the kunafa tasted horrible as-well. Clean but bad strawberries. read more

Whoever made my latte today, god bless you. Wish I could order a bigger size! A little pricey but delicious!! read more

Overall if you are in the area and need a comfortable place to work, this spot has you covered. The staff is generally nice and the prices are fair. A two shot latte with oatmilk is just under 6 dollars, so expect to pay a little bit for the quality. read more

Great ambiance and the staff was so sweet! They did not even have the crepes on the menu yet but when I asked about it they gladly made it. Everything was very good and indulgent. My favorite was the Habibi latte and the Dubai croissant. The crepes were also very tasty but definitely a lot to eat by yourself. I think it's very shareable plate and l love the addition of the fresh strawberries. I couldn't choose between the Dubai strawberries or the crepes and this gave me the best of both worlds. Would definitely checkout this place if you're in the area! read more

Clean atmosphere and friendly staff. Love their pistachio late and crepes. This a good place to hang out for small dessert and to chat with friends. The music was nice, not so loud like other café places. Will come back here again. read more

Perfect place to come and enjoy some coffee or any of their other drinks. They have a huge menu with plenty of options. Personally I stick with a cappuccino and like to study or do my work there.

Stopped by this cafe today while they're still in soft opening phase. We had an Açaí bowl and a pistachio frappe, they both tasted very good. Needless to say, El Cajon needed a place like this! Will return again to try more stuff off the menu. read more

Amazing place to get delicious coffee and study! They're so nice, I order a pumpkin spice iced latte and I forgot to say no whipped cream so I got one with whipped cream. They bring it to your table. He asked if I didn't want it with whipped cream and if he should remake it. I said no it's okay I can have it like this. I was to shy and didn't want to trouble him to remake it. But then he remade it for me for free without whipped cream. read more

Love love love this cafe!! Their caramel frappes don't have any coffee, which is perfect for when my little sister and I come here together!! The atmosphere is so calming. You often see people getting together with friends or studying on their computers. The workers tend to bring your order to you where you're sitting, which is so nice!!My favorite cafe, hands down!! read more

Got the lotus latte, Dubai chocolate crepe, and Dubai chocolate strawberries. Everything was delicious. The cafe has a lot of seating and the staff was great. read more

Came here with my sister to try it out. Had a pistachio latte. Soooo delicious. My sister had the Habibi coffee which was a take on a classic latte and order two strawberry banana smoothies came in two containers and had a chocolate pistachio croissant which she said was amazing. I got the Dubai chocolate bar. I would give that a 7/10 but was definitely fun to try. Would definitely come back!! read more

I go here sometimes to study and get some work done. They have free Wifi and I think it was the owner (I'm not sure) but he was so friendly and so welcoming. All other staff are not as welcoming though but that's alright, they're not mean either. The ambiance and aesthetic of the place is quite impressive. Definitely worth an Instagram post and their Furnitures are pretty bougie and comfortable. I have to say, I get the Habibi Coffee and it's delicious. You can tell it's a high-quality coffee bean & taste amazing. Not too overpowering sweetness at all, just how I like my coffee usually. Minus 1 star because for a 12oz iced latte, it's pretty expensive $7. I get that for a 16oz but damn. I'll still come back though when I'm feeling rich :P read more

Great spot, great customer service and very accommodating, I love the playlist also. The drinks were really good. Great addition to east county read more

Cute cafe , delicious treats and omg the hand made chocolate out of this world. Love the coffee pure quality. Welcoming service.

First of all the ambiance is comfortable with a cool vibe, I was obsessed with the smell of the cafe, sounds random but it was a scent that I don't know but loved, I don't know if it was pumped in or incense or what but it was so nice. Okay so the drinks were amazing, my husband got a pistachio coffee and I got a coconut one, and oh my so good. Finally, we got a pistachio chocolate croissant and it was HUGE for one and delicious! Also, the young woman server was very sweet and helpful. read more

Best coffee in San Diego. The ambiance is very nice and great customer service as well. Definitely a must try!

Wow... I love this place. I've probably been here over 15 times just do sit and do work. The inside is so roomy, well kept, and very cute. They've got wifi, outlets, and a restroom! They also have an extensive coffee and dessert menu, the coffee is never disappointing. Every latte Ive had has been bliss! Especially the kinder latte, its true that the portion size of their drink is quite small for the expensive price point, but its yummy! I also tried the kinder balls off their dessert menu, its doughy heaven. So delicious. Overall, I love doing work here, and their customer service is top tier, they're so hospitable. No savory food offered here though, so grab lunch before you head inside. read more

loved the matcha here and the staff is so nice, can't wait to go back next time i'm in the area!

The service, pastries, ambiance, and drinks are soooo amazing! Can't say enough good things about this place. From quick pick ups or sitting in to hang out with friends. Everything I've had has been a hit. I go on a weekly basis! read more

The place was quiet and very tranquil. The drink I had was delicious. The cashier was able to answer all questions asked. Would recommend

The passion fruit tea here is amazing. Customer service could be better. Cashiers have a nasty attitude.

This coffee shop is an absolute gem! Their espresso is perfectly balanced--rich, smooth, and full of flavor, with just the right amount of crema. The workers here are not only skilled but also incredibly friendly and attentive, making every visit feel special. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a cozy yet modern vibe that's perfect for relaxing or getting some work done. I would 100% recommend the Iced pistachio latte and the Dubai croissant is to DIE for. The iced mango tea (not pictured) will also surprise you, I crave that almost daily! I've become a regular. read more
