    Tiramisu latte

    Quick service, delicious coffee perfect for the beginning of my day. Love to grab their coffee on my way to work! They switch up the menu and are always experimenting new flavors like the tiramisu latte which has become a new favorite for me! Excellent pick me up

    The drinks here were fantastic! The coffee strength was perfect and the flavors were amazing but not overwhelming. You can adjust sweetness levels and combine flavors. Even after my ice melted, my drink was still holding up strong and flavorful. The baristas were great to talk to and very quick with getting the drinks out. We were in and out in under 10 minutes. The shop itself is cute, no bathrooms but there some benches to sit while you wait. Definitely not a study spot, but a great grab and go coffee place. Parking was easy although be wary of certain spots being reserved for different businesses. The drinks were affordable and it's great to have another cute coffee shop in the south Chula Vista area.

    I would consider this location is more of a grab and go there isn't really a lot of space inside. It is also next to the trolley and buses stop. Also be aware that the parking is limited and you might have to wait a bit. Came here a few times and ordered a few different drinks which all turned out to be really good! The coffee flavor really comes through and the drinks aren't too sweet. Would definitely recommend it. If you don't wanna make the drive to this location, I know they opened a second location in Chula Vista.

    Cookie butter matcha and strawberry horchata latte
    Sebastian C.

    Hidden in a small complex this place had a good variety in drinks including a rotating flavor for coffee & matcha. The staff were very friendly and helpful in letting me change my matcha order from lavender to cookie butter after I ordered. The drinks were prepared very quickly and the prices were fair for two 20oz drinks. The strawberry horchata latte is very good and sweet and the cookie butter matcha has a very subtle sweetness.

    Iced cafe de olla
    Yeshenia G.

    It's a little hole in the wall and if you don't look closely you might miss it. We tried an iced café de olla and a blended white chocolate raspberry coffee. The café de olla was ok, I think drinking it iced definitely brightens up the flavor. My chocolate raspberry drink was just ok. It's definitely a drink that show cases the syrups more than the coffee. The service was good. The price for both drinks was about $14 The overall experience was ok. I think if you're looking for fun drinks rather than a good cup of coffee, then this is a good place. Drinks:*** Service:**** Ambiance:***

    Always looking to support small businesses in the South Bay, this one will now be a definite pit stop when we are in the area! We got the pingüino, vanilla late and cafe de olla. They did not disappoint. What's better than a good coffee cup, a nice person taking your order and making you feel like a welcomed customer. Parking is a little tight but worth it. Muchas gracias por nuestro cafésito! Nos vemos pronto!

    Delicious coffee and some empanada options. Friendly service. Come prepared to take your selections to go; there is limited space inside.

    Pan Dulce, Coffee , Vibes I needed a coffee shop close to my in laws and this is it! Tried the horchata latte hot and strawberry horchata iced. Both soooo good And a cuernito to go. And for my book girlies they have books while you wait!!

    Located on San Ysidro off the Palm Ave exit. there's no seating inside or outside and only a very small waiting area for drink pickup. I ordered a large vanilla latte with breve (extra fee) and an iced strawberry matcha latte. The drinks were good, but a little on the pricey side. Parking is definitely a challenge. There's very limited parking and tow-away signs everywhere. The nearby liquor store owner is quick to tow, so be careful where you park.

    Iced Mazapan Latte - AMAZING!
    Alma G.

    The customer service wasn't the best coming in, but they have the best iced mazapan latte I've ever tasted! It's the perfect balance of sweet, nutty, and milky with little mazapan pieces with each sip. Try it out :)

    This coffee shop has been opened for 4 months at its current location. It's in the parking lot of a…read moremercado (can't remember the name) but the owner used to operate out of her apartment.. hence the name. The menu options were simple, i don't know if making a concoction of flavors was possible but it didn't show. I like bitterness in my coffee and this had just a hint of it. We tried the mazapán and Mexican mocha, they were both good. Again, i prefer the stronger coffee flavor so for me it was subtle but still good. The flavor of mazapán was there but again, subtle. They were not overly sweet which I liked. We also tried a s'mores puerquito cookie which was also not overly sweet and good flavor. I will be back and ask if I could have my coffee made stronger, hopefully this helps! Our total for 2 coffees (hot and cold) and a puerquito was $14.50 Food/Coffee:**** Service:**** Ambiance:*

Of course all I found was Starbucks close by and I truly hate Starbucks for they're so acidic and I like more of the mom and Pop shop. Man did I hit the jackpot! Not only is the Coffee fantastic with some great original recipes but this bad ass coffee shop is women run out of her apartment "hence the name". Now I get to go sit in less traffic with a smile on my face and a warm cuppa Joe in my hand Of course I had to order two different recipes. I got the cinnamon dolce and the rosemary iced latte. They are both perfectly made with the perfect amount of coffee to sugar ratio. She also had milk alternatives for me, so I got both with oat milk! Not to mention her website was so professional, and easy to use. Thanks again I hope your business thrives! Can't wait to come back next time I need a good coffee close to CBX! PS I'm buying two rosemary iced lattes next time!

It's a family run establishment…read morePanaderia Gonzalez not a big bread store, but because they sell lots of bread, the conchas, panaderos, empanadas, puerquitos, mantecadas, etc are always very fresh. I also like bread here as none of the sweet breads is ever overly sugared or overly sweet. Customer service has always been excellent in the interactions I've seen and been involved with. A few months ago I misplaced my wallet after buying bread at the panaderia. I checked my truck, then came home and still could not find it. I called the bakery and a young lady shared earlier in the day, they had found a wallet. I described it for her and she said, yes it was there! This family and it's members saved me. Yes panaderias can he found in some local markets but for me, none of the store bread has the unique flavor or freshness as found at Panaderia Gonzalez

On Friday evening I stopped by to get some bread to bring to a friends gathering. To my unpleasant surprise there was a lady sweeping the floor (it was like 30 minutes before they closed) and the worst part is that all the dirt, dust and nasty particles were flying everywhere!!! The floor was dirty, very dusty. Without paying attention I walked on a pile of dirt that was in the middle of the store, then I heard the noise that only a broom makes when sweeping. It was so bad seeing that all the bread was exposed to the flying dust and particles as this store does not have clear doors where the bread is. I had to leave the bakery. I did make the lady aware and made the comment that she should not have been sweeping with the broom while the bread was exposed. She honestly didn't care, she was just "doing her job" I don't understand how can someone do something like that. If you want to start with closing procedures and want to sweep make sure your product is covered and not exposed to bacteria. I will not go back to this store, if they do this when customers are present, I cannot imagine what they'll do when no one is watching.

I love a 7-11 hotdog but I wouldn't get one here. I stick to the energy drinks or pre packed stuff. They are typically always in stock. I feel like it's Russian roulette if the other things are fresh or not. Service is quick and friendly enough. The store always have boxes around or things stacked on top of one another but I don't necessarily mind. It's well lit too and doesn't feel dusty or dingy compared to other places. Parking has a few spots to get in and out but don't get caught parking and walking away because they will tow you.

The hot dogs are good. The spicey bite is pretty good. The taquitos are really good and easy to munch on when out and about. They started carrying different types of quick eats like pizza and chicken wings but I have noticed it is hit or miss when they are available. They also have their own branded chips and drinks now. I can not tell the difference in chips to much but the coffee drinks, personally, don't taste as good as the original branded drinks. Their currently pushing their rewards app for points and discounts. Place looks almost new but the parking lot is kind of small and tight. It shares a lot with the business next door. They have signs designating 7-Eleven parking only.
