I've driven past this coffee shop for years and finally decided to try it. The inside was decorated…read morecute with a rustic, desert vibe. There's indoor seating with chairs & tables as well as comfy chairs. The outdoor seating is covered under umbrellas. I got a matcha with almond milk and added lavender. It was an average matcha, nothing too special. Maybe I should have chosen a different add-in flavor. They made my drink within minutes so service was great! I'll definitely give this place another shot. Gotta support our local coffee shops!

After seeing this place raved on TikTok I wanted to get it to try myself. The parking is decent…read more When I went in the staff was quick to greet me and asked if I had any questions. I took a look at the menu and decided on getting the Matcha Meets Fresca and chilaquiles. The Matcha was actually pretty good. And the Chilaquiles were decent however I can tell the green salsa is not a fresh salsa. I also did not care for the chicken. It tasted like pre-cooked chicken that had been warmed up. The chips were very crispy however. I think it's a great option for folks in the area, however I would not return given it's not located in my community and can find not your preferred closer to me. There were folks in their meeting and working and although it may be a little noisy, it is a great option to work from. They also have tables outside which I found were nice and provide a more quieter space

Overall ambiance and service was excellent and it's nice to have a local third place. I'm happy to support this local business. Parking is generally hard to find around the block on weekends.

Now that I have gone back a couple of times, I also know their empanadas are delicious too! As far as drinks, I've had their iced matcha w/honey and their salted maple latte - both customizable and outstanding. Staff are nice and helpful with drink customizations. The space is clean, with ample of seats indoor and outdoor. This will become my go-to spot for a quiet, chill afternoon to read a book or catch up with a friend. So grateful to not have to drive too far out of the way for a nice coffee spot like this one!

Some of the best halo halo in San Diego!…read more I love the nato jelly that they use. It has that bite to it. I also love that they use corn flakes and a lot of it. Adds a good crunch. There's a decent amount of seating inside and the staff is always kind.

Had a craving for halo halo and wanted to check this place out since they had different varieties…read more I was in between the upside down halo-halo but chose the mais con yelo since I really enjoy sweet corn desserts but rarely see them. Overall, it tasted okay, but I wished that you were able to customize it somehow (i.e add jellies, change slush flavor, etc). Maybe I could have asked but what made it challenging was that the menu did not clearly show everything they had to offer or it was hard to decipher which price went with what item. The cooler was pretty good and it was part of their $3 drink specials. Keep in mind though, it was not advertised, I just happened to know because I almost did an online order and saw it. I plan to go back and try some more things but there really needs to be more transparency about the menu and the prices clearly displayed.

You can easily use your players discount here and any food comps as well. I'll admit I've made the mistake of getting cups of coffee after 6pm several times now and have trouble falling asleep later on. I guess I'll never learn.. The donuts, muffins and pastries are brought in from Mary's Donuts, which are some of the best in town. Bacon-topped maple bars too? Check. I think these are life changing if you like the salty/sweet fusion. There always seems to be some sort of a line here, and for good reason. I know for sure I will keep on trying different donuts and baked treats here since this place is closer to me than driving out to Mary's in Santee!

Couldn't even bite it as it just crumbled apart. Awful. As for the ordering, I ordered from the kiosk and waited 15 minutes for it to come out. It did not. The employees say the kiosk system doesn't work at the coffee shop. Then why have it management. Annoyance for the guests and confusion for the employees. I always feel like Jamul almost has it but just doesn't.

A weird experience but the effort is appreciated…read more Came in one weekend out of convenience, we were driving around the area and my gf highly recommended it. We parked and noticed nearly all the lights were off. The pastry cabinet was empty, the tables were taped off. But people were inside and customers were in line. Emotions and energy were low, it was quiet and dim vibes all around. We walk in and see just one man working the cashier and making the drinks. He looked puzzled, a bit lost. We get in line behind someone ordering 4+ drinks and see that this guy didn't really know how to make the drinks. He was misplacing the ingredients and wasn't fully confident operating the payment system. The back counter was cluttered with miscellaneous gadgets, appliances, and syrups. It took nearly 20 minutes for the customer in front of us to get from ordering to receiving their drinks and we just watched in slight awe. The guy was apologetic and upfront, he was trying his best in a bad situation. They made some small talk and hinted that they were closing due to supply chain disruptions in Hawaii. I feel for them and wish them well. The coffee itself was ok. Flavor was decent but somewhat unremarkable. They offer different caffeine levels, up to I think 400mg in a drink. I just got the 200mg coffee. Don't know if I just built a tolerance but I fell asleep right after. We did want a pastry but with the baked goods cabinet empty, we weren't sure what they had left to offer. There was a long sign listing everything sold out between the pastries and coffee flavors. Overall the experience was odd and left a slightly bitter emotional taste in my mouth. They've acknowledged that they weren't in the best condition at that point and I do feel unfair to judge them at their worst. If they turn it around, I'm opening to revisiting. But for now, I don't feel compelled to go out of my way for it.

Check-in ordering kiosk is available at the counter along with being able to order from a cashier. Menu on TV boards above the registers and also menu with photos posted outside. I ordered the mango coconut milk smoothie/less sugar and added boba, which was featured on their seasonal drink menu. Even with ordering less sugar, the mango and coconut made it very sweet so I would recommend perhaps almost no sugar the next time but I enjoyed it and it was still very good. I did not order any food items. Hours clearly posted on the front door with strip mall parking right out front. Comfortable seating with table space inside, would be good for groups, as well as single customers. Wheelchair-accessible entrance and restroom. Nice and relaxing atmosphere with floral tree as decor, flowers jetting over the ceiling of the general floor space and plants throughout.. Very clean with nice chill music playing.

The Alley is a nice boba spot. My friends and I made a stop here after returning from a trip to a…read moreMexico and we were in search of a sweet treat. The group tried the Ube Taro Brown Sugar Boba Milk, Ube Brown Sugar Boba Creme Brulee Milk, Mango Green Tea, and Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie. Individual reviews of the Ube Brown Sugar were positive with notes that the boba was overcooked and there was a little too much boba for the liquid ratio. My friend enjoyed her Mango Green Tea and I did like the Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie. It was sweet and creamy, and more on the refreshing side. I got it without boba because I had a bit of an upset stomach while I still wanted something sweet. Didn't think adding boba would help with that! So I think it was good without. The staff was also helpful and tried to make sure we were clear on some of the quirks of potential drink flavors. Would return when I'm with my friends in the area again.

As soon as you walk in, you're immediately hit with the anime theme throughout the shop. I'm not the biggest anime fan myself, but I can definitely appreciate the artwork and overall vibe of the space. I went with the Tarochimaru, while my partner got the Lechera Matcha. Both drinks were great from the very first sip. Drinks were flavorful and easy to enjoy. Overall, this is definitely a spot that's earned a place in my boba rotation.

We ordered Denki's Boba through DoorDash and, unfortunately, it left a lot to be desired. We tried…read morethe Crème Brûlée Milk Tea, Boba Milk Tea, and Thai Milk Tea. I was especially excited for the Crème Brûlée Milk Tea, expecting a distinct caramelized vanilla or creamy flavor, but it tasted more like a plain milk tea. There wasn't anything that really set it apart, and it wasn't very sweet. The Thai Milk Tea was also surprisingly bland and seemed a bit watered down, lacking the rich sweetness and bold flavor I typically expect. I'm not sure if the drinks suffered from being delivered rather than enjoyed fresh in-store, so I'm willing to give them another chance before making a final judgment. Hopefully the next experience is better.
