Stumbled upon this coffee shop looking at Google Maps, and I'm glad I did. It's tucked away and quite small - just a few counter seats inside but lots of outdoor tables. The inside is cozy and welcoming with lots of whimsy. There's a little guest book that's worth a flip through! There are thematic seasonal drinks that change monthly (and are crowd voted). I asked, August 2026 is "video game" themed. I loved my rosemary orange honey latte, and the pecan apricot scone was perfect as well. It's was $9 ish for a small latte and a scone The women working when I went in were lovely. I'd highly rec and will be back. read more

Better than Starbucks, fight me! Love this little Mission Valley coffee shop! It's tucked in a business park, super close to work, and easy street parking, plaza, and structure. Interior is tiny, but comfy for a place to chill and do some work, but there's also outdoor seating available. Love the decor! You can tell some passion was behind this establishment. The vibes are great, the service is friendly, and the coffee is chef's kiss, but I'm no expert. I just like what I like. Aesthetic and tasty! They've also got vegan pastries, vegan/gluten-free baked goods, plenty of plant milks, and of course avocado toast! WOOT! They also have a monthly themed menu that have creative and delicious options. Cons? Tiny indoor space fills up fast since it's in a corporate-plaza setting. Peak hours may have quite a wait, but if you're not in a rush it's worth it. Just check their hours. Amazing, flavorful coffee, decent pricing, great food, and welcoming customer service. A hidden gem! Check 'em out if you're in the area! You won't be disappointed! read more

Along with the fun vibes, the service is always great! Monthly themed specialities are family favorite. read more

**small business alert** Cozy little cafe owned by a very kind and creative human, Adda. The cafe is small and stylish, and features locally roasted coffee (by their main larger store in Poway). There are a couple of bar seats inside as well as plenty of relaxing patio seats outside. They also proudly serve delicious fresh pastries from Bread &Cie. I did get their chocolate almond croissant and it was so delicious. I didn't have a chance to try their drinks today because I was heading into a meeting, but will definitely come back because Adda was extremely pleasant and I enjoyed experience here. It seems she is visited by plenty of regulars, whom she knows by name. :) read more

Great coffee, fun aesthetic. I enjoy the monthly novelty drinks that they come up with. Owner is very sweet !

Holy up charge Batman! I am from out of town and looked to Yelp for a good nearby cafe to grab a breakfast Sando and latte, Kings Craft has decent reviews but my experience was sub par. Location/Parking - This cafe is located in a business park/building, I found a parking spot on the street but may have gotten lucky with that. Service - Arrived to no line, the cashier was not helpful and in fact, up charged me for several things without informing or asking me. Food - I ordered a croissant breakfast sandwich (which I only knew had bacon because I saw this online); I asked whether I could substitute the bacon for anything and she offered me avocado which I accepted.... Turns out she added it on, not substituted it. I paid 85 cents for barely any avocado, not even a slice... see photos. I asked about the charge and noted that I asked about substituting not adding on and the cashier did not care, she kind of shrugged it off as if I should've known better. The sandwich overall is disappointing irrespective of the avocado charge, American cheese which wasn't even melted, very flat sandwich, not really that great. Def not worth $8.40 plus avocado charge. Latte - this place has a cute list of special lattes and other drinks they make. None of them jumped out at me but I saw one had rose so I requested an almond milk latte with rose syrup (I've loved this two other places I've ordered it). The latte was extremely sweet, i assumed I'd be charged for the syrup and the almond milk which I was. I was however, also charged for 16oz cup even though I wasn't asked what size I wanted. I thought this was weird - to assume I wanted the larger size and charge me for it. I definitely would not bother coming back here. It is over priced and not worth it AT ALL. read more

Great coffee/food and customer service from the two lovely ladies that work there. They make mornings better!

Parking: Located in a corporate plaza, parking was easy to find Drinks: I ordered the Golden Afternoon (peach white mocha). It was tasty and could taste the peach flavor in the beginning but as I was drinking it, I maybe got taste-blind to it and it tasted was faint. Medium size was $5.80 pre-tax, it would be helpful if their prices were listed for their monthly special drinks. Service: Quick and friendly Atmosphere: Outdoor and indoor seating, I think there were 4 seats inside. A super cute little French bulldog was chilling inside. Outside feels like a very corporate setting. read more

This place was a little bit hard to find; it's in between two industrial buildings that kind of look like a hospital but I don't think they are. I had to do two laps around the building to try to find it. When you park look for the orange tables and chairs and head towards them. There's plenty of 1 hour parking. The shop itself is very small but cute. The barista was so nice and friendly! I had the Ohana Iced Latte from the special menu they have next to the cashier; I highly recommend it. It even has toasted coconut on top. I will definitely be back! read more

This was a wonderful little shop with tasty coffee, fun special seasonal items, and excellent service. Even though I came in near closing time, she took the time to put out a delicious product and started a nice conversation. Seating outside the shop was comfortable and shaded. Though hidden from the street in am office courtyard, it was well worth seeking it out. I will be back! read more

Love the coffee, the vibes and the barista! Small and cute located between my buildings. Only reason I come into the office.

Cute-ish little coffee shop at the bottom of an office building. Most food runs about $10 and my cold brew with tip was $7 or $8 bucks so not cheap. The cold brew was good but I don't know that it was a standout. I wouldn't go running back but I'm sure it is convenient for office workers. read more

Amazing coffee! Love their seasonal drinks and the change up per month. The staff is so friendly and nice and always great service

The service was friendly, the coffee tasted great and the decor was incredible. You can tell theres a lot of passion here. Definitely glad I checked this little hidden gem out. read more

This place is the best!! A rare local coffee shop gem where they genuinely care about and remember their customers. They have a seasonal menu that customers vote the theme for and the baristas create new, yummy, and creative drinks. It changes every month! They also have a cute book customers can write in. GREAT tasting coffee (i'm a barista so you know what i'm saying is legit), great food, great ambiance. There's nice seating outside to do work or relax (comfy couch and chairs) too. Def give this place a try, you won't be disappointed!! read more

Great tortas! Great coffee! A bit hidden but easy to find. The inside is super small but they have outdoor seating

Such an inventive drink menu! It was a little hard to find and parking wasn't easy but once arrived, the space is so peaceful and I just wish I could sit there all day working if I could help it. Ordered their banana caramel mocha (golden ticket) and their croissant breakfast sandwich. Both are solid items and I enjoyed them in their spacious outdoor seating. Will return! read more

Hidden gem!! Service is incredible so welcoming and kind. Love the king/knight theme and that they let customers vote on the month's coffee theme. I got the Totoro drink yum!! The breakfast sandwich also 10/10. It's a small spot so if ur on a time crunch order ahead. read more

Not great coffee, very little inside seating, and hard to find. Plus VERY expensive! They only get business from the near buy buildings from convenience. read more

Such a hidden gem! I found The Kings Craft coffee on here while trying to get us a quick/easy coffee and breakfast not too far from the road. It made it easy to get back on the interstate to start our long road trip back to Denver. The selection of food and drink was awesome and the staff were super friendly. They also have a great outdoor patio area. I got a seasonal latte and Croissant Breakfast Sandwich. The only real knock was parking because it is located in the bottom of a pretty big business area with multiple buildings. read more

Friendly staff, quick service, and excellent coffee! I had a mocha, which I highly recommend. This is a small shop in an office park. It has limited indoor seating (a bar along the window) and plenty of outdoor tables. read more

I stopped by here because I had some errands to run in the area and in between those o was going to need a reboot of coffee. Situated in an awkward position behind Einstein bagels and next to US bank, you'll find this small cafe. Seems as though most people who stop here are working nearby at the US bank or other buildings in close proximity. There is no indoor seating available. All outdoor. See pictures! I got a loaf of their chocolate banana bread. It eas fresh and delish! The best part of my stop was the cinnamon vanilla latte brewed on the spot with almond milk. It had the most scrumptious flavor that kept me coming back for another divine sip. If you're looking for a great drink and you're in the area I'd recommend. If you don't mind only outdoor seating then here's your place. Enjoy! read more

One of those coffee shops that you get sad when you move away from because its less conveniently placed nearby. Great outdoor seats, has a strong identity and uses the community to drive monthly special drinks. The inside is small, because of location, but isn't a big deal unless you need to work remotely. read more

Was looking for a gourmet coffee roaster and choose this coffee shop instead of Starbucks. It was a challenge to find...not in the Friar Mission center but tucked between tall commercial buildings. There's a walkway from the street and I spotted their outdoor dining area assuming this was the place. No seating inside but the coffee smelled amazing. The barista took his time to customize and made my latte. As for food, there's a display case for baked pastries. A small menu for savory like breakfast croissant, oatmeal, açaí bowls starting around $7 and up. I came mainly for the coffee and it was perfect! read more

Service was good. Baristas were nice. It's a pretty cozy cafe. They have a really cute polaroid wall of staff and pets. We ordered two hot mochas and the lunch sandwich & chips. My boyfriend thought his mocha was good, but I didn't like it as much. I felt like it was missing the depth of coffee and chocolate, but maybe it's because we used 2% milk instead of whole. Please do not order the lunch sandwich & chips. Their menu doesn't indicate what's in the sandwich either, so I made the mistake of assuming it'd be a robust sandwich like typical coffee shops. Instead, it was a generic sandwich with 2 slices of turkey, tomato, lettuce between 2 pieces of extremely dry bread. Also came with a bag of chips. read more

Found this little coffee shop around the corner from my doctors office. The lady taking my order was very sweet and the service was overall excellent. My drink was delicious, a lot of coffee shops makes their lattes way too sweet but this was just right. The croissant was great as well. I'd definitely recommend this if you're ever in the area. read more

A true gem tucked away in the hills and valleys of the city. It isn't just that the drinks are tasty, nailing the flavors they set out to be; or that they are inventive, with a new theme voted on by the community that rotated every couple weeks; but even the ambiance of this cozy pocket of refreshment and sustenance was done so with care and consideration. That way, even while you wait in line or for your order to be fulfilled, you get a chance to discover anew or again the reimagining of a classic painting themed after a popular media. Or perhaps if you've got warmth of your own or a tale to share, there is even a book in which to sign your own thoughts by the door, to add to the collective tapestry of travelers and regulars who stop by this place. I'm glad this coffee spot is here, and I hope it's able to thrive for as long as the wonderful person running it continues to choose to do so. read more
