The keep latte is great!! Super yummy!! great service and atmosphere. Good pastries too.

went on a friday morning and it wasnt too busy. interior is cute. the parking lot is tiny and a lot of the spaces are reserved for other businesses in the strip mall. they WILL tow you, when we walked back to the car one of the business owners was calling a tow truck on us. -keep x (4/5): so pretty! decent black sesame flavor though i felt it couldve been a little stronger, LOVED how thick the whipped cream was. was also buzzing since their drinks all have 3 shots in them -their drinks are around $9-10 which is kinda outrageous, BUT all their coffee drinks come with 3 shots so the pricing kinda evens out overall, cute coffee shop with aesthetic drinks that taste pretty good, but are also quite pricey. would be down to come back and try their other menu items since they are pretty interesting and i love a cute drink, but likely wouldnt be a regular given the high price point read more

Got the Keep Joy (strawberry matcha) and Keep Dance Matcha (coconut + spirulina matcha)!! Honestly was a little disappointed with Keep Joy. I think there was too much cream to matcha ratio; it honestly tasted like I was drinking milk HOWEVER, Keep Dance Matcha was *chefs kiss* It was so sweet, creamy, coconutty, and matchay!!! There's a Keep Dance Coffee too, I'd want to try that next time if it's not a seasonal item! The drinks came out super quickly and I love the mismatched furniture! A fan of this quirky interior! read more

One of the newer coffee shops in Kearny Mesa, I remember seeing the "hype" of it on social media. Tried it today for the first time and it does not live up to the hype. $8-$9 lattes? No thanks, don't care how good it tastes, I refuse to pay that much for a latte. Service and atmosphere was good, but that's about it. I opted for a more basic drink, an americano. 12 Oz comes with a double shot and 16 oz comes with a triple and I must say, the coffee doesn't pack a punch and is weak. They had three different beans to choose from, which was nice, but I wish the coffee was less watered down. More cons than pros here in my opinion. Cons: Parking sucks, expensive drinks, weak watered down coffee. Pros: good service, nice atmosphere. Not enough for me to come back, I wouldn't recommend. read more

Was looking for a place to lay low before my next event -- this spot seemed pretty cool. Here was my experience. AMBIANCE Parking: Plaza and street parking available. Seating: Indoor seating with a mix of styles -- good for groups or solo visitors. Probably room for about 30-40 people. Vibes: Welcome to Convoy! Tons of eateries and coffee shops nearby, and sometimes even community events happening around the area. The space itself is spacious and low-key, with clean light wood accents and seasonal décor. I appreciated the Olivia Dean soundtrack playing in the background -- added to the chill energy. Great natural lighting makes it a solid study or social spot. FOOD/DRINKS Keep Coffee Matcha Latte (Recommend): Their signature "cloud" (sweet marshmallow foam) is a fun touch. The matcha delivered that classic earthy flavor, and the cloud added a creamy sweetness that balanced it nicely. Not overly sugary -- just smooth and enjoyable. SERVICE Great service -- friendly staff and my order came out quickly. TL;DR OVERALL 4 Stars. Wonderful. Good flavors, solid pricing, and a comfortable environment. Convoy has no shortage of coffee shops, but this one stands out for its charm -- spacious, friendly, and productivity-friendly. Till next time! #RepresentAZN TIPS: * Try something seasonal -- their creative specials blend classic bases with fun flavors. * Bring a laptop or a book -- perfect for a slow morning or focused afternoon. read more

The Keep Coffee - drinks - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

It's was $9 for a cup of milk. They put some sort of cream topping but it's not necessary with how milk heavy this drink is. I read somewhere that it's 4 shot but I don't think that's true. The tai tea was even worse at least when we got home we could add more coffee to the cup of milk they call a latte. I like sweet and milky coffee but this was very disappointing. read more

We'd heard great things about this place and decided to give it a try, so glad we did. We ordered the Keep Matcha and the Keep Latte (without syrup), and both tasted incredibly fresh, vibrant, and fun. You can really tell they care about the quality of their ingredients and how the drinks are crafted. The place has a great vibe going, and it's clear they're serving their customers really well. It's a bit on the pricier side, though. Definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for a quality coffee experience. read more

An interesting and fairly new coffee shop and hangout in Kearny Mesa near the intersection of Convoy and Clairemont Mesa. It's right next to O Zone Billiards. The interior is really spacious and minimalistic, with a grand piano in the center of the room, plenty of seating, and lots of electrical outlets to boot. Strangely enough, I had a kind of reverse experience here. Usually, I find that coffee shops tend to mask the lower quality (or burntness) of their beans through their fancier espresso drinks. At The Keep, the straight Supernova espresso shot was absolutely delicious and super high-quality. On the other hand, the latte was overly milky, to the point that I couldn't taste the Ethiopian espresso at all. I think they need to balance the milk and additives in their drinks to help make their very tasty beans shine. I'll have to come back sometime soon to try another drink and a pastry so I have a more well-rounded understanding of The Keep's offerings. It sure seems like people love it--the place was packed and my latte took about 15 minutes to make. Update: My second visit to The Keep bumped the cafe from 4/5 to 5/5. This go around, I ordered the Ethiopian espresso I first tried in the latte my first visit. It was delicious! The roasts they're using are incredible. I like the Supernova a bit more due to the citrus notes, but this one was solid as well. I also had a cortado with Brazilian beans. It was really good too. Finally, I tried a pastry, opting for the chocolate croissant. They heated it up for me and it was super flavorful and flaky. I have a feeling this place got stars knocked off from being so hyped up and busy during its opening months, which likely led to a pace of business that was extremely difficult to serve consistently. Now that they're in the swing of things, I can confidently say it's in my top 10 coffee shops in San Diego county. read more

This is a cute little coffee shop offering creative and unique drinks that put a twist on traditional coffee offerings. Their sweet cream that goes on-top of their drinks is great and the space is peaceful and spacious offering many areas to sit and enjoy your drink or to work from. The staff is friendly and effect and we had a very little wait for our drinks despite the amount of people present. Parking is interesting but don't let it discourage you from this quaint off the beaten path stop. The coffee itself was good, perhaps a bit bitter and acidic but mixed in the drinks it offers a nice balance for the tasty iced and hot options. I look forward to coming back and trying the bean specific options to get a better grasp on the flavor profile of each of their roasted bean options. read more

Came back to try their matcha and it unfortunately didn't live up to my standards. We ordered the keep matcha and keep joy but they were both pretty milky, sweet and I couldn't taste the matcha. The cream top on the keep matcha was pretty sweet and overpowering. The strawberry puree in the keep joy was pretty thick so it was hard to sip the drink and it got overpowering. Drinks were over $10 and substituting for oat milk was $1 so the prices aren't worth it. There are other better and more affordable cafes in the area. read more

The foam is so decadent and delicious. Make sure you mix it well into your coffee first, otherwise your coffee will go too quick and you're sitting there sad because you just have a cup of delicious, thick foam on top of ice. The Keep Adore tastes like Neapolitan ice cream but if you prefer a creamy, slightly sweet coffee get the Keep Latte. Note for parking: they have 4-5 dedicated spaces in their parking lot. Apparently you're not allowed to use the adjacent parking lot so if their dedicated spaces are used, you'll have to find street parking. read more

Came here for the third time and sadly I don't think I will be returning. We got the keep matcha & keep joy, and both drinks were pretty milky and barely tasted like matcha which was disappointing for over $10 a drink. Service was quick and there's lots of indoor seating which is a plus. However the matcha is not for me and there are better, more affordable options nearby read more

Love a creamy matcha and here just hits the spot! They had all these Valentine's Day strawberry cream flavor specials, so good with matcha! It's a rich indulgent matcha latte and I'm addicted!

The Keep Coffee - v day matcha and keep coffee - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

I ordered the strawberry matcha and would rate it a 3/5. The strawberry pieces were a bit too chunky for me, and since they aren't fully blended, the straw kept getting clogged, which made it difficult to drink. I later learned you can ask for less pulp, which definitely helps, but wider straws would make a big difference. I did go back the same day and got another drink that they deconstructed for me, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, it didn't include the cookie or the toppings on the whipped cream, so it didn't feel like the full experience I had the first time, especially since those were my favorite part. I reached out to the owner on Instagram, and although it took some time, she eventually responded and apologized. I appreciate her acknowledging my experience and making the effort to make things right. After my conversation with the owner, I went back and got another strawberry matcha. It was better with less pulp. I also ordered the Keep-X drink for my son, and he absolutely loved it. That definitely made the experience better overall. The drinks are on the expensive side, so getting the full experience matters, but I do appreciate the owner's response and the quality of their drinks overall. read more

I'd heard that this new coffee shop had opened and popped in when I got a chance. Be forewarned that at the time of my visit there were only 2 parking spots that The Keep Customers can use. And the adjacent lot posted a sign to The Keep Customers that they would be towed if they parked there. So I ended up parking on the street. I don't mind walking so I don't rate businesses on parking. The server did not welcome us as we entered, even when we stood at the counter deciding what to order. After ordering we were handed a beeper to pick up our coffees. I do question tipping percentage in this scenario when they don't have to come to the table to take or deliver an order. My latte was pretty standard, but I do appreciate nice latte art! The scone was a bit dry. My friend got to chose the beans they used in her espresso and said she enjoyed its richness. And her matcha was good. I liked the industrial decor. If I could give a half star, I'd give it 2.5 stars. read more

This coffee shop has me coming back time and again. The star of this show is the matcha. Very good grade matcha. Their house made whip is thick and delicious. You can taste all the fresh ingredients. The Keep Joy (their matcha with strawberry puree and house made whip) is my come back again and again. They also have a bagel? Not sure but something with cream cheese that they bake and is surprisingly sweet ! I bring my friends here and always tell them this is my "life changing matcha" spot read more

I originally went to Keep Coffee hoping to get a Matcha drink, but I must have misunderstood the menu, because I ended up ordering an Iced Mocha topped with Strawberry Cold Foam. Actually, I am glad I did! because it was incredibly flavorful, rich, and absolutely delicious. The strawberry foam added the perfect touch of sweetness. Yes, I am sure it was a calorie-heavy drink, but I practiced control and didn't finish the whole thing, just enough to enjoy. I also tried the bagel with sweet and savory garlic cream cheese, and it was so, so good! The garlic flavor was delicious but not overpowering, just the right balance of creamy, savory, and a hint of sweet. I felt that same "calorie guilt" with the bagel too, but again, I didn't finish it, and I was happy with the portion I did enjoy. Parking, however, is a bit of a pain. It's located in a little strip mall with several reserved spots for other businesses but not for Keep Coffee. I ended up parking on the street, which wasn't ideal. The ambiance is fairly basic. It's clean and simple, but I do personally enjoy a café with more decorative charm or cozy touches. They did have good music playing in the background, which helped create a pleasant and relaxed vibe while I enjoyed my coffee and bagel. Service was fine not exceptional or overly engaging, but basic and satisfactory. Overall, based on the great-tasting drink and bagel alone, I'd return. However, due to the parking situation and the simple atmosphere, I'm giving 4 stars. read more

Pretty drinks in a pretty convenient location (near a bunch of car service shops). It's a cute little shop perfect for hanging out and enjoying a small pastry and drink. But I wasn't blown away by any of the drinks we had. We ordered the Keep Adore (espresso, chocolate and strawberry whip) but it was incredibly overpowered by the espresso shot and no amount of sugar could subdue it. The presentation was nice but the drink was not it. We also ordered their Keep Thai (thai tea equivalent) and it was alright. The whipped cream and chocolate sprinkle on top was a nice touch. They also only take credit card and seats are reserved for customers only. read more

I'm sharing this in hopes it helps someone before deciding to stop by. I wish I had checked yelp beforehand. I ordered coffee drink with light ice, but unfortunately that wasn't followed. On top of that the cup was only filled about 3/4 of the way, which made it feel like I didn't get what I paid for. I saw other folks also complaint on yelp about a similar situation. Let's be real I pay for coffee not ice! The ambiance was also much louder than expected. There's a piano available, and while that can be a nice touch, it was disruptive to those having a conversation. For the price point I didn't feel it matched the value. Just something to keep in mind before spending your money. read more

My girl friend and I stopped by to check out their matcha game. They offered many types of matcha drinks and a seasonal one too. I got the matcha latte and oat milk with no ice and my friend got the ceremonial matcha. My no ice matcha drink came out to just half a cup full and I was surprised. For $7, I felt I had to mention that I'm surprised and the girl automatically knew and offered to add more oat milk. The matcha latte was just alright. Nothing special about it. My friend said the same. I'm not sure I'd recommend this place The space was nice with plenty of seating. There was a piano for people to jump on and play it. There were many customers read more

I came here on a whim after seeing how pretty their drinks looked on social media/Yelp, but it was a bit underwhelming. I tried the Keep Matcha (an einspänner, $8). It was just okay, not bad, but not great either. There was a lot of cream, and it overpowered the matcha, so it mostly just tasted like cream/milk. The place itself had a good amount of people, many studying or working, so it could be a nice environment for that. Just note that the tables are on the smaller side. read more

Cream tops are my obsession right now and keep coffee is doing it right with their einspanners. Not to mention the seasonal flavors they have been introducing every few months. I personally love the strawberry variation. You have to also try their garlic cream cheese danish - sweet and salty and umami from the garlic! There is searing inside but it fills up fast so be prepared to wait to take it to go. read more

Love you guys! But charging a whole $1 for oat milk is kinda crazy.... Is it at least organic, and GF? did not know that until the cashier told me and I don't think it's displayed anywhere either. The internet is also very slow. Hard to get work done if you need internet. First time trying the KEEP latte and it's amazing. Perfect amount of espresso. Not happy about paying 9.70 for a regular size latte though with the $1 up charge. read more

Wow wow wow! This place has some yummy coffee options! My fav hands down is the "Keep X". Not overly sweet but sweet enough for my liking.

"Keep Matcha"- tends to be a crowd favorite. Not really my jam. Ambiance is loud/Echoey. Parking: parking lot available but read the signs!! read more

Awesome coffee shop in convoy area. I popped in here on a Tuesday around 11:30 and it was pretty busy inside with only a few seats open. Seems to be a pretty popular place to chill and work from. I found the menu to be a bit confusing with the names of the drinks and many having very similar ingredients so I had to ask a few questions. I chilled here for a few hours and ended up trying two different drinks. The first one I don't remember the name of it but it was an espresso with pistachio and a black sesame foam. The drink is on the smaller side but was so tasty. Every flavor stood out and yet was balanced at the same time. Really nice espresso. The second drink was keep matcha. I still don't fully understand how this was different than other matcha drinks but it was definitely on the creamer side and had whipped cream on top. Fairly sweet for matcha but not overly slow. Matcha was a deep green color and flavorful but a bit lost in all the cream. They have multiple different single origin coffees and have them in different grinders which is also a nice touch. I imagine they've got pretty good pour over here too. Definitely a top spot for both coffee and matcha drinks if you're in the convoy area! read more

Whenever you see a spot that keeps coming up on matchatok or instagram, you have to wonder if it's just because the drinks are instaworthy or if they actually taste good. Can confirm- they are good...really good! You have to brave parking to check it out. Most of the parking spots in front of the shop are for the liquor store or milk tea next door, so you're better off finding street parking. They also have some parking around the back corner. The space also gets very busy. It's a super popular cafe for doing work or hanging out, so the energy is lively but often very crowded! They have a great variety of matcha drinks and all different varieties. My husband got the Keep Matcha, which comes with whipped cream on the top. I got the Black Sesame Matcha, which was soo good. They also had a strawberry matcha with a little biscotti cookie on top. The matcha is sweet, but Japanese sweet, where it isn't overpowering or too sugary. It had a great taste and was absolutely delicious! In addition to the matcha, they have coffee drinks and some great pastries. I got the garlic cream cheese bun and it was so unique and tasty! It was garlicy and savory but filled with a sweet cream cheese and warmed up perfectly. This coffee shop is more than aesthetic drinks. They taste absolutely delicious and I'd gladly make the trek again to get one! read more

Came here after seeing tiktok recs, and it fulfilled expectations! I wanted to try something more unique so I ordered the black sesame latte. Although the sesame flavor wasn't the strongest, the drink was absolutely delicious and the perfect caffeine boost. The strawberry matcha was okay (even though it was the prettiest drink), and the einspanner was yum too. The interior is clean, and has a nice area to study (quiet too). Service was nice and quick, the cafe wasn't too busy when we were there. Would definitely come again to try the black sesame or yuzu match. Recommend a visit! read more

A cute open space with simplicity and retro feel. Lots of seating room where you can relax and chat up with a friend or if you need to do some work or studying. They have wifi too, just ask for the password. I came for the garlic cheese bagel that people rave about. I hear it sells out in the morning. Good thing I was here right when they opened. It was not a bagel consistency but it can be a bit dense but softer than a bagel. Very garlicky and digging the cream cheese. Then again... I love anything cheese. It looked like it was lightly glazed on the outside and has a shine tint to it. The lady that helped me was very nice. Told me she needs to heat it up and it takes about 5 minutes. I also ordered the Keep Joy (whole milk, housemade whip, matcha, strawberries, and a biscoff cookie on top). I think it is part of their spring series. The drink was pretty and looked very rich and creamy. And when I drank it... it really was. I have to be in the mood for a drink like this. The matcha was a light earthy taste. The strawberries on the bottom gives it a hint of brightness, sweet, and tart to the drink. The whip was a creamy dream. Wished that there was a stronger matcha flavor because of the milk and housemade whip overpowered it a bit. Loved the cookie on top for a different texture to the drink and like an added bonus/treat. They do have milk alternatives, but I think the whip does contain dairy, so be careful for those who have a sensitive stomach (lactose intolerant). Parking can be difficult because it's a small shared lot. read more
