    Keep Cafe on Convoy is such a gem! I love the aesthetic they've built here; it's bright, clean, and just feels really welcoming. The staff is so helpful and kind, which I really appreciated. I treated myself to the Keep Latte and their famous cream cheesy garlic bun, and they did not disappoint. The bun was incredibly yummy, and everything tasted so fresh. It's honestly the perfect little spot for a relaxing afternoon pick-me-up. Highly recommended if you're in the mood for something tasty in a great space.

    I stopped in for some matcha and girrrrrrl. It was so good!! The strawberry cold foam is probably the best I've ever had. 10/10, no notes. I'll definitely be back!!

    Keep Joy and Keep Dance Matcha
    Serina L.

    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!

    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.

    I got the Keep Joy drink which is a strawberry matcha latte with a biscoff cookie. The drink was weirdly very dense and creamy..... I would not recommend it. The matcha flavor was nonexistent. The price tag was an astronomical $9.48 and there is also an additional charge if you want to substitute whole milk.

    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.

    it was okay coffee. limited parking, also note that you will have to pay for parking. Coffee were pretty. taste was okay. small room, limited seating that was quick to be filled in by kids reviewing. service was okay. since students stay longer the place and floor gets icky. needs a little clean up.

    Keep latte, strawberry matcha

    Yummy coffee! Had the keep latte and the strawberry matcha. Come here if you like sweet, fun drinks. The cold foam was nice. Staff were super kind and our drinks were made with care. Would come back!

    The Keep Latte with Caramel flavor

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Keep Adore
    Taylor C.

    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.

Seating took a little while after opening, likely because they stagger new parties to avoid overwhelming the kitchen with orders all at once.

The food menu was just as fun and whimsical, and the waitstaff were all dressed to match the theme. Everyone was efficient, friendly, and helpful. We tried the soufflé pancakes, which were good, though they weren't quite as fluffy and jiggly as Japanese soufflé pancakes. They were also quite sweet on their own, so we didn't really need the syrup. We also ordered the cheese fondue plate, which came with steamed vegetables, kielbasa, and bread cubes--a really fun concept. Overall, the atmosphere is beautiful, playful, and definitely part of the experience. I'd happily come back if I'm in the area, especially if there isn't a long wait for a table.

    Books & Records Delivers Live Jazz, Standout Cocktails, and Exceptional Happy Hour Bites…read moreAs a fan of Common Stock, expectations were high for its Bankers Hill sister spot, Books & Records--and it easily delivered. The moment you step inside, the bi-level space makes a striking impression with its mid-century accents, exposed brick, and warm, moody lighting. It manages to balance a lively, energetic atmosphere with an effortless chicness that feels tailored for a memorable night out. The happy hour here is an absolute standout, featuring an expansive array of creative food options and crafted drinks. The menu brings an inventive Asian fusion twist to bar bites, offering flavor-forward small plates that pair seamlessly with the beverage program. The drinks deserve equal applause: the craft cocktails are meticulously balanced, and the signature ube-inspired cocktails are as vibrant and distinct as they are delicious. Adding to the venue's overall charm is the live music program. Catching live jazz, soul, and blues sets elevates the entire experience from a simple dinner run into a full sensory event. The music creates a vibrant, soulful backdrop without overpowering table conversation, striking just the right rhythm for intimate catch-ups or energetic group gatherings. Whether you are dropping in for a quick drink, indulging in a multi-dish happy hour spread, or lingering late for the live tunes and exceptional cocktails, Books & Records captures everything that makes CS Hospitality's concepts so special. It is a stylish, fun, and flavorful addition to San Diego's dining scene.
