    Oh my God I had a nice little business brunch meeting here. I love the flowers & little outdoor patio. It's got a nice outdoorsy flower vibe to it. Now let's get into the food. The avocado toast was delicious, a lil avocado seasoning on toast. It was nice and crunchy and chewy. The tomatoes to micro greens and a drizzle of sweet like vinaigrette was an explosion of flavors in my mouth. Very delicious. Now on to my iced drink. I think it's called a terra latte that was yummy. A little hint of sweetness with a taste of coaco. It was yummy & enough to get my hit of espresso. The barista was nice & welcoming.

    Matcha Botanica, For The Sol wellness shot & my Lafufu.
    Tasia G.

    Been meaning to try this place and had some free time after my workout so why not treat myself to a matcha? lol The cafe is really nice, from the local art hung up, the inviting workers and the music playing, you can't go wrong. Now to the drinks. I ordered the matcha botanica (summer flavor) , peachy greens smoothie, and a For the Sol Shot. My matcha was great. I'm always nervous when I order anything with rose in it, but the hibiscus rose tea flavor was a nice touch to the matcha and something I would order again while it's still available for the summer. The smoothie and shot wasn't for me, but I of course got to try it anyway and I would recommend the smoothie, very refreshing and the peach flavor did not overpower. The shot however was SPICY!!! That black pepper and cayenne came through for sure! The person I bought it for surely enjoyed it, so that's a plus. Will absolutely come back. They have a few other things I would love to try

    Southwest Elixirs is a such a cute little gem near the downtown area! This amazing local gem specializes in foods that are actually good for your body and help you through your wellness journey. They specialize in smoothies, juices and more of "breakfast/brunch" items. All of their menu items are made with fresh and organic ingredients. I recently stopped by for a work meeting and I had an amazing experience. For my first time I decided to go with their Matcha Cloud, which is made with single-origin matcha, plant based collagen, ashwagandha, agave and oat milk. The drink was absolutely refreshing and tasting amazing. For a quick bite, I decided to order their avocado toast. It was equally delicious but I just wished the bread was a either a little thicker, or more toasted since it started to get a little soggy too quickly. Overall a five-star experience and will most definitely come back here for meetings or just to work for a few hours.

    Wow, this is going to be my go-to spot for smoothies and bowls! I've been wanting to check out this place because I've heard great things about it. I got the sapphire bowl, which was super fresh and tasty. The ingredients are definitely top quality! I can't wait to try the rest of the menu because the quality is worth the price (which is super reasonable!). Order up front, find a spot to sit, and someone will bring the order out to you when it's ready. There is also complimentary water and wifi. It's a great place to do work because they also serve many coffee/tea drinks.

    Finally got to try a smoothie frol southwest elixirs and it was fantastic! Definitely pricey but ingredients are definitely fresh. I ordered online for pickup which went smoothly. I got the green trail smoothie and it was absolutely yummy. Highly recommend. The shop is easy to find and there's plenty of parking. Staff was friendly great spot if you're looking for some good tasting healthy smoothies.

    The vibes here are just amazing! The plants and all the colorful touches make the space feel so lively. I tried their spring matcha special the Desert Springs and first of all, the drink was adorable! I wasn't sure how prickly pear would mix with matcha, but omg... it was sooo good. I loved it! Also, they have this cool garage style door that opens up and gives the whole place a super open airy feel. Definitely worth a visit! They've got smoothies, smoothie bowls, and coffee too.

    I got the regular iced matcha latte half sweet. It was super good, very creamy and smooth. There is a good matcha to milk ratio and the drink wasn't overly milky. Half sweet was perfectly sweet imo. Inside is cute and spacious with lots of seating and pink walls. The service was friendly and nice.

    The matcha, the ambiance, everything 10/10! Firstly would like to say that the interior is beautiful. Very cozy and boho. They serve lots of goods like matcha drinks, açai, smoothies and juices. I've only gone once but will definitely come back to try more. Love my matcha drink and would get it again. The staff were nice and friendly. I recommend.

    This is such a lovely spot that I find myself returning to again and again to fuel my body! This place gives San Diego vibes - very laid back, pretty place. Great atmosphere to dine alone or go with a friend! Amazing smoothies, great coffee, and a few food options as well! Very friendly service and they have an awards program as well. If you haven't been yet, give this place a try!!!

    We went in today to do some studying and when you walk in it's so beautiful I loveeee the plants and smells so good in there. They had a range of matchas and smoothies but I decided with the pistachio cold brew and it was so good! The employees are very friendly and happy to answer any questions you've got. Definitely now on my list of places to study!

    Prickly Pear Matcha
    Jacy M.

    The place is gorgeous and has great ambience, and the customer service is amazing. Usually I get nervous being in new places alone with my baby, but I would definitely come back here, the workers were kind and very helpful. We got a Prickly Pear Matcha and the avo toast and it was great. Everything on your drink is customizable, which is explained by the workers. Also - I would say there is ample seating which I don't find usual for coffee shops.

    Nearly 3 years later and I visited Creme once again. This time around I ordered a cookie, cortado,…read moreand a mocha latte. They were nice enough to warm the cookie for me, and it had that "fresh out of the oven" smell and gooeyness. They asked me if I wanted my drinks for here or to-go and I said for here and they still served me in to-go cups, which I thought was weird. The cortado was not my favorite. It was bitter and acidic and the foam was looking a little yeasty. The mocha latte also had very little flavor to it, tasting like hot milk. I had difficulty finishing both drinks. Later I noticed they were using What's Brewing beans, and it made sense. I know many folks love WB? coffee beans, as it's a bit of a local darling, but more often than not I don't enjoy cortados made with their beans. Dirty dishes and cutlery sat on a couple of tables long after folks had left. I don't want to make assumptions, because there WAS a designated staff member for cleaning/wiping things down, but maybe those two evaded her. There's a sign on the wall that says, "I'm not for everyone," and boy are they right. They also stopped playing one of my favorite Radiohead songs (right in the middle of it!) to play Teenage Dream by Katy Perry. Now while I'm not deducting stars for THAT (because that's just downright petty), I can't help but feel unimpressed by my most recent visit. At least the cookie was delicious. Perhaps a third visit is in order. As they say, third time's a charm, right?

We were either hungry or the bagels were that good. It's probably a combination of both. Now, let's talk about the kindness of the staff and the vibe of the place. I forgot to request alternative milk. We were just going to purchase another cup with almond milk. They made me a cup without charge. How sweet is that. Additionally, my husband saw a board where strangers can buy each other coffee. So naturally we repaid their kindness by getting two strangers a cup and left some notes of encouragement. With everything happening in our world today, this was a beautiful reminder of kindness. So pass it on. Checkout this dope, please and buy a stranger a cup of coffee. Until next time, blessings!

    Met my friend for lunch as I saw the menu recently and was intrigued, esp. for the Queen Vol au…read moreVent lunch entrée. I haven't been to a CIA restaurant since I went to the one in Napa many years ago. We arrived around noon and were seated immediately as not many people were dining there except for a party of about 8 people in one table and 2 people in a bar top table in the other room by the pastries. A couple of people came in to buy pastries to go. Kiana was our student server and explained the concept. They're only open from February til April for that particular semester and in August for another semester with students operating both front and back of house in the kitchen. The proceeds from the restaurant sales goes towards the Students' Graduating Fund to help with the costs of schooling. The students can experience serving customers and cooking. The chef has a Basque background so his menu is French-Spanish inspired according to Kiana. My friend and I thought this was a great cause! We perused the menu but I zeroed into the Queen Vol Au Vent because it reminded me of the Chicken A La King in Pastry Shells dish I used to make when we used to have big family Christmas parties. I wanted to see their version. I asked Kiana what the pastry shells were filled with since the menu says it's filled with the "Chef's choice Velouté" and she said chicken and mushrooms in a cream sauce. Perfect! My friend got the Egg Croissant & Petit Salade with a side of Bacon & Home Fries. While they were preparing our dishes, I walked up to the pastry case to see what they had to offer. They had cookies, Raisin Bread rolls, Conchas, Manchego & Sausage Scone, Alfajor Dulce de Leche, a Passion Chocolate dessert, fruit tarts, Napoleon, Baguettes and some bagged items: Palmiers, Chocolate coated Nuts and Toffee. I asked one of the chefs how much the bag of Toffee cost and she said $3.80 so I said I'll buy a bag. My friend was curious to see what they had so she also picked up a bag of Toffee. My friend also ordered a cup of brewed coffee. Our dishes came and I noticed how huge my friend's Egg Croissant looked! It was nicely laminated and the egg filling looked nice and creamy. The bacon was thickly sliced and my friend said there was a slight sweetness, perhaps maple? She gave me a piece and it was pretty tasty, meaty and wasn't greasy, nor salty. My Queen Vol Au Vent wasn't quite as big as I thought it would be but the chicken filling was ample. The Petit Salade on the side were just dry greens and wasn't a very big portion either. It could've used more dressing as it was lacking moisture. Perhaps some sliced Heirloom Cherry tomatoes would've been nice to accompany the dry pastry shell Vol Au Vent dish and add a pop of color too. When we were paying our bill, Kiana said the bagged Toffees were on the House since they just opened so we were pleasantly surprised and thankful! Another server asked my friend if she'd like more coffee or if she'd like it in a to-go cup so she took that option. I noticed the students were clearing out the pastries and bread so I asked Kiana what they did with the excess, unsold pastries? She said they take inventory, donate or throw them away except for the bread which is frozen and sold the next day. We told her we hoped it was given away since they're perfectly fine and for a good cause. There was an instructor's birthday today so the students and staff sang "Happy Birthday" by the kitchen. That was nice. We paid our bills and before leaving I used the co-ed restroom which was very clean and spacious. We sat outside so they could buss our tables and we continued talking outside. Can't wait to come back again before the semester ends!

    *NOTE* The CIA Cafe is only open from February to April…read more What a lovely breakfast experience! We arrived 25 mins after they opened, and another party had just gotten seated. Although it is small, it's well-designed and well-laid out. The staff is really sweet and patient if it's your first time visiting. The breakfast croissant sandwich is the perfect amount of food, not to mention a well-balanced meal. The lamination is just proper- a buttery, flaky crunch. If you plan on getting goodies from the bakery, they can take your dine-in check and adjust the price to add those items. The variety can be a bit overwhelming but trust your gut. There's nothing terrible, since the quality of the ingredients and technique were on point. My favorite was the white chocolate pretzel cookie, so I'd like to return and try the other flavors. I love that a portion of your bill also funds the scholarship program, which makes you feel good about the entire experience.
