    The Works, Iced Carmel Latte
    Victoria H.

    Perfect spot for a chill and tasty breakfast in Escondido. Their signature sandwich - The Works - is very hyped up, and rightfully so!! It was perfectly warm and crunchy. The inside is homey and cozy. Staff were also very friendly. Highly recommend!

    A sweet little cafe/ restaurant that is clearly a very beloved neighborhood spot. I adore that they offer half and full size portions for their sandwiches. I got The Works and an iced chai latte. The chai could have been a little more spiced but that sandwich was perfection, especially the crusty Parmesan top. I'll daydream about this place going forward. I recommend asking for their chopped banana peppers for a bright additional bite. Also the people there were insanely friendly and so kind.

    The grilled sandwiches here are good, but kinda pricey for what you get. I ordered the wake up Escondido full sandwich. It tasted great but it was lacking filling, not much chicken and more sauce than anything. It was almost $20 for this breakfast panini that came with a small side of fruit. I also tried their strawberry lemonade and strawberry salad. Very tasty as well. Service was okay, this place is tiny and it was starting to become packed with the lunch time crowd, so we asked for our order to go. I may give them another try if I am in the area.

    THE WORKS

    Food was delicious! I had a the green chile quiche and my son ordered The Works. It came with a little seasonal fruit cup that was perfect size. Wish we lived closer so we could come here more often.

    Amazing food experience here! Referred from a dear friend of ours and coming here was a delight. I'm not a big tomato guy but this was so delicious and highly recommend! Excellent service and cute shop

    In top of a relax environment you'll enjoy a fantastic food. All run for local family over many years. If you're in a rush just swing by and grab a cup of coffee. You'll miss the best panini though, but that's OK. Just start you day with a welcoming smile!

    Do they offer any egg free and nut free bread? My kiddos have egg and nut allergies, that's why I've hesitated to visit.

    The sourdough bread is vegan. No eggs and no nuts. The gluten free bread has eggs and nuts both

    What are the safety guidelines that are being followed is there our aide seating areas? Are masks required?

    Staff wears masks. Customers are required to wear masks. Currently only takeout and delivery is available.

    Thanks, BobC, but I don't have a smart phone so I have no way to use a Yelp app :( No free cookie for me?

    Of course you get a free cookie! Just let the cashier know you can't check in while at the restaurant.

    How do I do a Yelp check-in to get the free cookie with my meal?

    Just show the cashier that you've pressed the "check in" button on your Yelp app and that's it!

When I walked in, the kiosks weren't working, so ! waited at the front for someone to take my order. Instead, all I could hear was an older lady loudly screaming at one of the employees. It was loud enough that I could hear everything from the front counter, and it honestly gave me secondhand embarrassment. The employee was being embarrassed in front of everyone in the store, which made for a really uncomfortable atmosphere. Because of the confusion, I ended up ordering through their website instead. Unfortunately, the drink was disappointing. They added a huge scoop of strawberry syrup that completely overpowered the drink. I went there to try Matcha Maiko's matcha, not a cup full of strawberry syrup. On top of that, the syrup wasn't even mixed in properly, so l kept getting mouthfuls of syrup at the bottom I was really looking forward to trying this place, but between the uncomfortable experience in the store and the poorly made drink, it wasn't the experience I had hoped for.

    Great restaurant, food, refined and tasty . The service very adequate to the style of the place…read more The ambiance mainly on Friday and Saturday is amazing, however, I prefer to go during the week when it's relatively calmer

    Hiya my fellow, Yelpers!…read more It's been quite a while since my last review--I was injured and spent some time in recovery, but I'm back and so excited to share my local finds with you again. Recently, I dropped by Kettle on Grand in downtown Escondido. When I walked in, it felt wonderfully peaceful and quiet for a coffee shop, making it a super relaxing, family-friendly spot to settle in and enjoy a bite. My Order: Horchata Latte: Delicious! Usually when I order these at other spots, they tend to oversweeten the drink, but Kettle on Grand hit the perfect balance. Margherita Panini (without tomatoes): Served hot, tasted incredibly fresh, and had a fantastic, satisfying crisp. Side Salad (no feta): Don't let the photos fool you--the bowl was surprisingly generous and packed with fresh greens. The only minor tweak for my personal preference would be a few extra nuts for crunch, but it was delicious nonetheless. Tips: Self-Serve Water Station: They have a convenient self-serve water setup, which is always a huge plus when visiting with kids or settling in for a while. Free Wi-Fi & Great Service: The server behind the counter was warm, attentive, and completely on point. Plus, the free Wi-Fi makes it a cozy spot to catch up on work or browse while relaxing.
