    An amazing spot. We had a lovely time here. Ambiance was great. Friendly workers and very helpful. I had a sandwich and it was so good I asked for another one. Their coffee is really great. Their prices are very reasonable and it is really worth it to try this place out. So even if you are not by the area, try to make it there. You will not disappointed. Happy meals!

    Very cute pink decor and lots of coffee options. Service was excellent. I was craving a smoothie and ordered the Peanut Butter Sampler. It was good but I would have liked it to taste more like peanut butter. I also ordered the Spicy Stir English Muffin. It was filling and came with a delicious chipotle sauce.

    I'm giving this place five stars for the service alone. An older woman came by to check on us, and she was truly the sweetest -- warm, attentive, and just genuinely kind. That kind of service really makes a difference. I ordered the cookie butter latte, which I'd rate about a 7/10 -- good, but I've had stronger versions elsewhere. I also tried the "Stir It Up" açaí bowl. It was fresh and tasty, though I do think it's priced a little high for what you get. That said, their menu has a ton of options, and I'm definitely coming back to try something different next time.

    Normally I yelp for new places but decided to check this place out while driving by. We came in for coffee, and had to take a minute to step back and explore as the menu is so extensive! The two guys working today were such a treat, you can tell they are proud to work here and love their job. Breakfast items, sandwiches, icecream treats ( thrifty Icecream) so many drink options hot and cold and several different lemonades. We ended up ordering the Barcelona sandwich, a frappe and I had an earl grey iced tea. Everything was delicious and service was the best!! Thank you. We look forward to coming back soon.

    Came across this place by accident and I am so glad I did. The inside isn't too big but there is seating to sit and enjoy your drinks. They had food options and many different drink options. I think they had a great variety to order from. I got the aloha latte and a pistachio one and it was so good. The workers were friendly and welcoming. Will be back!

    First off the customer service is amazing told them it was our first time and they made some great recommendations. I originally went for a smoothie but they took off the menu so we ordered an aloha latte and a tiramisu latte . A vegetable breakfast sandwich and a spicy sausage . Everything about our experience was great but started off with the employees and to top it off everything was so yummy . Great decor

    Love this coffee shop! Delicious food and drinks, great service & cool vibe. My husband ordered the pancakes which had chocolate syrup, bananas and strawberries. He ate every bite! I ordered the bagel sandwich with egg and bacon. The bagel was large, tasty with just the perfect crunch. Both servers were very warm. Will definitely be back!

    Checked out this newer Spring Valley shop. Father and son were working together and pleasantly served us and answered our questions with good suggestions. Love that they are a coffee shop that offers full breakfast as well as froyo! Quaint shop with limited parking but overall a great shop with a significant menu selection.

    The guy at the cashier was an absolute gem. Super friendly, helpful, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. I'm sorry I can't seem to remember his name. My memory is the worst! The coffee was amazing and the food did not disappoint either. I love how big their menu is. There are so many great options to choose from. I ordered the small Cobb salad and it was generously portioned, fresh, and absolutely delicious. My friend and I both loved our drinks. We ended up staying for about three hours just chatting and relaxing. It was quiet with minimal foot traffic, which made it even more enjoyable. Prices were surprisingly affordable given how expensive things are these days. Everything felt very reasonably priced and worth every penny. Parking was easy and the vibe inside was cozy and contemporary. If you are in Spring Valley or even nearby, I definitely recommend stopping by. Great food, great coffee, great atmosphere. A solid 10 out of 10. You can thank me later.

    Tried and really like this place!! Pro tip for coffee drinkers: ask for less sweet or extra shots ir espresso, I was told all drinks are on the sweet. Things that can possibly improve: The foam does dissipate fairly quickly and I believe the syrups are not made in house. The food items were delicious! Customer service is great! Very nice gentlemen behind the counter and making drinks. Will definitely be returning to try more!

    Cozy little coffee shop in Spring Valley. Came on a Sunday around 130pm. Two people attending for everything, cashier, making food and coffee, so we did have to wait to get our coffees. Place is nice and clean. They have a great variety of options from traditional coffees to specialty lattes, blended frappe and lots of food options from Breakfast Sandwiches, Deli, Crepes, Acai Bowls and other. We ordered a Talitha, which is a simple Iced Coffee with Oatmilk and a Stir It Up Pink Latte with Soy Milk. It was an ok drink, but not to make me want to come back. Saw some people eating sandwiches, they looked good, but couldn't say anything about them. Overall would have to try it maybe again but tasting another product to give a second opinion. Since it is not in my neighborhood that may take a while

    A trip to pick up furniture turned into a pleasant random coffee shop stop. Opened since December 2024, the shop from the outside is small and unassuming - contradicting it's big hospitality and warm, friendly energy. Once you walk inside, the place is bright and fun, with lots of photo posting opportunities. The menu is bound to have something for everyone, from froyo to frappes, sandwiches to smoothies. Crepes! Acai bowls! Today I chose the large, iced house coffee with three breakfast sandwiches to go, all for under $30. I had the Sunrise on a jalapeno cheese bagel, which had eggs, tomato, spinach, feta, and mayo. It was a generous size, toasted and delicious. I could only eat half. The kids devoured the Champion sandwiches I brought home, made up of eggs, ham, bacon, hash browns, cheddar, and provolone on a plain bagel. I'm looking forward to bringing friends and family back here to try more of the menu.

    Great little place!! I love small businesses and always seek them out. I am a regular at another small local coffee house near by, but have been wanting to try. Walked inside and was greet right away. Very friendly service. The interior is small w not much seating but it well decorated and very inviting. I am a Matcha drinker and they serve unsweetened Matcha. The way it should be. I had the OG Matcha which is just a straight latte. I used Coconut Milk. The matcha flavor was a little light and wouldve like more matcha taste but it was decent. The Mango Matcha was more Mango flavor than matcha. Again the matcha flavor was light. Both drinks were good but we both wanted a stronger matcha flavor. Waiting for my drink, I watched as several breakfast sandwiches were made. They looked and GREAT!!! Packed w meat, cheese, egg, etc. Behind the bar and the interior appeared very clean. The menu is extensive which can be worrisome. My experience is place with too many items dont have the same flavor as places that perfect their smaller menu items, but I have not tried their food so I cant say. But I will be back and will try their food also. I recommend giving this new place a try and supporting local small family businesses! If you like Mocha, they have more variations of Mochas than I have seen at other places!! B

    Fantastic experience here on Father's Day. It was our first time in and the service was friendly…read moreand helpful. We tried a bunch of items: latte, caramel macchiato, açaí bowl, Japanese souffle pancakes, Tokyo egg drop sandwich, chashu eggs Benedict with a pancake. The portions were generous and while all the food was good the standout was the benedict. The hollandaise was super bright and had a great lemon flavor--much better than any I've had elsewhere! The eggs were perfectly cooked and the chashu was delicious and well caramelized and even after sharing with my kid there was plenty. We regretted not getting the house potatoes with it as they looked amazing at the other tables. The pancake was very good though-fluffy and flavorful. The egg drop sandwich was also really good with super fluffy bread and tons of good filling. My kid enjoyed everything which was a boon. The Japanese souffle pancakes were fine but not as stand out as the other dishes. I have tried making them myself and had them at morning glory and such and they are often too eggy for my liking. Oh, we tried to order the ube pancake but they were out so we will have to get it next time. We will come back soon for more Benedict's and those potatoes. Yum!!

I stopped in recently and was blown away by the entire experience from start to finish. ​The Food ​First and foremost, the food is delicious. You can tell they use high-quality, fresh ingredients. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the presentation was beautiful. Whether you're looking for a solid caffeine fix or a full meal, they absolutely nail the menu. ​The Service ​The service here is top-notch. The staff is incredibly welcoming, attentive, and genuinely friendly. I didn't have to hunt anyone down for a refill or a napkin; they were proactive and made me feel right at home.

It has a really nice ambiance, chic yet cozy, making it the perfect spot for a productive work session, a catch-up brunch with friends, or even a relaxed solo date. The lighting and decor create a vibe that makes you want to stay for "just one more" coffee. ​The Verdict: Tappi's Cafe is the real deal. Great food, stellar service, and a beautiful space. I'll definitely be back soon! ​Highly recommended!

A special thank you to Olivea, Monica, and Noska, who made my visit even better. They were incredibly friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. They made me a pistachio frappé exactly the way I wanted it, and it was honestly one of the best I've ever had--rich, creamy, perfectly balanced, and absolutely delicious. It's rare to find a café with both amazing drinks and exceptional customer service, but Shaghf Café definitely delivers on both. If you're looking for a place with a great atmosphere, delicious beverages, and staff who genuinely care about making your experience memorable, I highly recommend stopping by. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Rude staff and a very disappointing experience…read more My friend ordered a Lotus frappe, and unfortunately, it was not good at all. It tasted more like crushed cookies than an actual frappe, and she was literally chewing on pieces of ice. Since we've ordered the Lotus frappe here before and it was perfectly fine, we figured this was simply an issue with how the drink was made this time. I politely asked if the drink could be remade as a caramel frappe instead, since we knew that one was good. Instead, we were told, "We can't do that, you would have to pay." I'm sorry, but why would we pay again for a drink that was made poorly the first time? We weren't asking for a free drink just because we changed our minds. We were asking for the original drink to be corrected because it was genuinely not drinkable. What really made the situation worse was being told, "We're not a chain like Starbucks to just remake drinks... this will go to waste." Respectfully, if the concern is that the drink will "go to waste," perhaps the better solution would be to make sure the drink is prepared correctly in the first place. I understand that businesses don't want to waste product, but making a customer pay for another drink after receiving one that was poorly made doesn't exactly feel like great customer service either. I'm not expecting the "customer is always right" treatment, and I'm certainly not trying to be difficult. But when a customer genuinely cannot enjoy what they were served, the reasonable thing would be to offer a solution rather than essentially tell them, "Sorry, pay again." We've had good experiences here before, which is why this was especially disappointing. Hopefully this was just an off day, because the way this was handled left a much worse taste than the frappe did.

    I searched up best coffee in La Mesa, picked the first recommended place, and am happy I did so…read more I just moved to San Diego from San Francisco and found myself in La Mesa applying for jobs. I needed a quick coffee to end my day and after searching the best coffee in La Mesa, Red White and Badass Brew was the first to pop up. The owner was super nice-I didn't get his name-and he walked with me through the menu as I haven't had specialty coffee drinks like these before. I went with his recommendation of the whiskey latte (iced) and also decided to try the toasted tan lines (iced) When I tell you, my first sip transported me back to the 2013-2016 era of coffee culture when specialty drinks were first starting to get popular, I am being so serious. Both the whiskey latte and toasted tan lines were full of so much flavor. The toasted tan lines took me straight back to my trip to Kauai in 2013 and the whiskey latte was reminiscent of a latte I would get in middle school from a Brazilian small business. There was just something so nostalgic about these lattes that I had to immediately write a review. So many coffee shops lack the flavor of the 2010s before companies cut corners and scraped for our pennies, but not here Thanks for the coffee!

Unfortunately there isn't an online order line so you end up waiting anyways and they made our drinks only after we arrived and told them we had the online order. That being said everyone working was really friendly and they were working hard as it was busy on Sunday around 8. I got the gone bananas half sweet and an extra shot. My partner got the horchata matcha with extra matcha. Even my drink at half sweet was too sweet for my taste but still enjoyable. Not a strong banana flavor though. More caramel forward. My partner loved his drink but did say it was more horchata than matcha.
