    Inside the coffee shop
    Blain C.

    Hii hello this review is coming from a matcha connoisseur. The salted pistachio matcha was not my favorite. I did order that flavor but it doesn't pair well with the earthy umami flavor of matcha. I loved the decor though. This cafe is so spacious and there is w lot of open seating. The customer service was pleasant and timely. I'm sure a coffee would be better but the matcha wasn't it for me. No tea no shade.

    Finjan coffee is a great try to expand your coffee culture. The coffee selections are great, along with helpful staff. A worthwhile visit. Recommend

    Seasonal Menu

    I finally got to try Finjan Coffee. I've passed by their original spot so many times but never actually went in. They opened a second location in Mission Valley inside the Tahini restaurant at Hazard Center, and I like that it's not in a super crowded plaza. It's kind of tucked away and you can grab a drink and food in the same place since they share the space. The vibe was calm and quiet, really good if you want to sit for a bit or study. Lighting was nice and not too harsh. The workers were super warm and welcoming. It felt like somewhere I'd come back to often. They have your usual coffee and tea menu, then a separate one for seasonal drinks and desserts. I took a minute to look through everything and ended up getting a seasonal matcha with cold foam and their Crunchy Knafeh. It was around $13 and comes in a small tray but it's definitely shareable. If you've never had knafeh before, it's basically a warm dessert with a crispy shredded pastry layer on top, soft melty cheese inside, and a light sugar syrup poured over it. This one had pistachios on top too. Trust me it works. When the matcha came out, I already knew it was going to be good just from the color. It was that deep green, not pale at all. First sip was so good. You get the cold foam first, then the matcha comes through smooth with a light sweetness from the date syrup. Nothing was too strong or too sweet, it just worked. I literally started texting people to try it because it felt like one of those drinks you don't forget. The knafeh came out warm and we were supposed to take it to go, but we just ate it there. It was gooey in the best way, the cheese was soft and not too heavy, and the top had that crunch with pistachios. Once we poured the syrup over it, everything came together. Not overly sweet, just really good and honestly kind of addicting. It's lowkey dangerous that they have both good matcha and desserts in one spot because you'll want both every time. Between the drinks, the food, and how nice the staff was, this was one of the better café experiences I've had in a while and I'd definitely come back.

    I got the chance to try Finjān Coffee at a mobile booth they ran for an Eid event I attended. It was so delicious that I will absolutely seek out their shops whenever I get the chance! I tried their karak tea (a milk tea with spices and sugar) and it was absolutely delicious! I also tried their baklava (pistachio and walnut) and both were great. Their knafeh, however, was standout. I had never tried kanafeh before but I got to have it fresh and warm and it was divine! (It's a dessert with shredded phyllo dough, a cheesy base, a floral syrup, and pistachios--it was really lovely!)

    Stopped by Finjan because I wanted Turkish coffee but realized the coffee comes in a very small cup so I opted for the hot pistachio latte while my husband go there iced version. They ran out of that original baklava so we tried their seasonal walnut baklava. Not too sweet and walnut wasn't overpowering it. Paired well with the latte very well. I love how they have their own in house syrup you can ask to adjust the sweetness. Love the decor and cups/plates used. Will be back to try other drink.

    I don't drink coffee but am a sweets fanatic so stopped by Finjan to try the seasonal walnut baklava latte. The space is bright, airy and shared with the Tahini restaurant run by the same owners. As far as coffee shop locales go, this one didn't have the cozy, intimate nooks that I'd prefer if planning to stay a while but I was getting To Go so no biggie. There's a lot of cinnamon in this drink, so be sure you're a fan of that before ordering. The iced latte was unique, and I did enjoy some pleasing nutty, spiced notes that reminded me of baklava indeed.

    Walnut Baklawa Latte *SEASONAL SPECIAL*

    Finjan coffee shares a space with Tahini located in a strip mall with Food 4 Less and various restaurants. There were several people using their laptops and enjoying their coffees upon our arrival. We checked out their menu which included coffees and light bites as well as baklava. I mean who could resist baklava?! Fresh!!! And, it's right near the cash register, lol! We ordered a walnut latte and a vanilla bean latte and, of course, a walnut baklava and a pistachio baklava. No pictures of the baklava we scarfed them down!!! The lattes were delicious, so creamy and foamy. Like a big hug is a cup, what a treat!! Side note, did not get the name of the gal that helped us but she was very helpful in narrowing down which latte I should try. Can't wait to try other items!!

    So excited another location opened just ten minutes away from me! Their coffee hours are a bit shorter than the Kearny Mesa location but I love the atmosphere no less. It's got a clean aesthetic with modest amount of indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered the crispy kunafah (ate it so fast we forgot to take a picture haha because it was THAT good) and the vanilla bean latte, which was exquisite. I'm in the area a lot so looking forward to coming back more often. Hoping they grow further and open up many more locations across the county and beyond.

    So excited this coffee shop opened right by me! Been here a few times, including their grand opening weekend and finally decided to post a review. Finjan shares its space with a Mediterranean eatery named Tahini, I believe they're owned by the same owners? There was ample parking in the lot so parking was not an issue. Love the ambiance at the Finjan side, it's kind of like a soft boho modern vibe with a few tables. They will announce your order when it's ready on the intercom and there's outdoor seating making this pet friendly. My favorite drinks were their seasonal Walnut Baklava latte and their pistachio matcha. Their syrup is fresh and house made! I love that their drinks are not overly sweet like some cafes. I'm obsessed with their pistachio baklava, it is a little on the pricier side though! Just a heads up, there typically is a wait for their drinks to be made on the weekends.

    Finally tried out Finjan coffee today in Mission Valley! My daughter devoured an almond croissant and pistachio baklava. We also got a cold brew Moroccan mint tea and a freshly prepared Turkish coffee. I do wish there were some gluten free options. All I could do was drool over the croissants!

    IG: rs.Albright TikTok: m.Albright The pistachio latte was PERFECT. I was up all day and it was super flavorful. I also enjoyed the yogurt parfait, it was a good balance of sweetness! the staff was really nice too and helpful with my questions. The interior is super pretty. It's next to tahini and both of the decor matches each other well! I would definitely come back! Tons of parking too!

Had very low expectations for the gelato to begin with seeing as the colors were extremely unnatural and the way it was heaped was a clear indication to me that it is not legitimate gelato and unfortunately, I was proven very right. I got the strawberry so that my toddler could have a few few bites and it was so unnatural and weird tasting that she didn't even want any... And if that doesn't say something! My husband got the coffee flavor and he literally took three bites and threw it away as well. I will say, though, on the food front, the prices are reasonable here all things considered, but maybe stick with pasta... based on everything As a whole though, you can likely get a much more legitimate Italian meal somewhere else in the area, but it will probably cost you more.
