    Great vibe, good service, and a wide variety on the menu. This place is a hangout and chill kind of place. They having seating options out front, inside, and out back. Their menu has a bunch of different drinks for all types. I just went with an almond milk cortado which was pretty good. My buddy got the cacao coffee which wasn't bad either. I didn't try any of the food but they had some pastry options and bagels from what I saw.

    Iced Chai Latte

    We are always down to try a new coffee shop so when we saw this cafe nearby we had to stop by. As we entered we were quickly greeted and order taken by the employee who was kind and chill. We ordered a iced Chai latte and iced Cocaoffee. Didn't take long to get our drinks. The iced Chai was not so good. It was water and lacked basic flavor. It was just cinnamon water at most. The Cocaoffee it's kind of like a play on a Mexican mocha. I barely tasted the espresso and the chayanne pepper was overwhelming. Although the drinks were not good, the vibe of this place is cool. Lots of room to chill and looks like they have live music and events here.

    This is your classic OB café, and I mean that in the best possible way. The staff is incredibly warm and welcoming, and the space itself is super cozy, instantly making you feel right at home. There are tables set up for studying or working, along with comfy cushion-style seating that's perfect for relaxing and hanging out. It really feels like a community-focused spot, great for group meetups and they even have a small podium stage, which adds to the charm and makes it feel like a hub for local events. I ordered a croissant and a latte, and both were delicious. Highly recommend this place, and I'll definitely be back.

    Is it a coffee shop? A book store? An entertainment venue? Seems like a little bit of all three with cozy seating; a stage; standing pace to enjoy the show. Barista was friendly and courteous. BLOOM! If you need a spot to host an event I'd say check them out

    I completely fell in love with this place. I was in San Diego for work and decided to explore a part of the city I'd never been to -- and thanks to The Template, I found my new part of San Diego. This spot is so my style: eclectic, creative, and full of personality. The space felt instantly welcoming, like you could just exist here and be yourself. The barista was friendly and kind, and the whole vibe felt genuinely inclusive. I had that immediate feeling of "oh... I'm home." I'm already planning to come back next time I'm in SD and build my visit around stopping here (and exploring more of the neighborhood too). If you love unique spaces with soul, this one is special.

    The Template is a cafe serving up a different experience here with music, classic/on tap/steeped caffeination, fancy schmancy lattes, groovy libations, elixirs, kava, and pastries and tasties. AMBIANCE Hipster, eclectic, psychedlic. Jesus Gonzalez and Shanti Vibrations played music reminiscent of folk rock with the improvisations of jazz. SERVICE Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable. Patrons order at the counter, and staff bring orders to table. DRINKS 5/5 Rose Cardamom: Rose syrup, cardamom, 2xEspresso, whole milk 4.5/5 Hibiscus Kiss: hibiscus tea, rose syrup, agave. Initially too sweet for me but over time the melted ice helped dilute the concentration. PARKING Street-side and lot

    I stopped by after having lunch nearby. The shop has a very unique and funky vibe. I ordered the large cacaoffee which came out to a little over $9 after tip. The coffee had good flavor and a hint of spice which I thought was interesting. I would probably try a different drink if I stopped by again.

    Such a vibey and spacious coffee shop! It was a nice day to check out the beach but also had to get work in. Love that they have lots of seating for one to work, read or chill with friends. I had their indie elixir, so good. Love that they have yerba mate on draft. It's also so close to the beach if you want to hit it after.

    Needed a quick coffee and stumbled into this quirky shop. So many things to look at while you're waiting. I got the salted caramel ice latte and hit the spot. The person working behind the bar was very friendly and informative about their menu. Will be back to check out more unique drinks

    My friend and I were looking for a new cafe to try and stumbled upon this one. The pictures on yelp looked a lot different than the cafe itself. We personally didn't want to sit inside and drink/eat because it felt dirty and crowded with furniture. The staff were nice and made our drinks quickly. When we went the espresso machine was broken so we couldn't order any lattes. I wouldn't personally come back here. There are lots of other cafes out there. Food/drink review: Matcha: (2/5) I had high hopes when she was mixing the matcha, but once she poured it over ice it was literally all milk. I wouldn't order again. I actually threw more than half away. Bagel: (3/5) Plain bagel with cream cheese. The bagel tasted old and dry. I also couldn't finish it.

    Delicious coffee that does not taste like burnt charcoal (unlike a certain Store-Buicks place that took over the world right before The Musk did. They beat him to it. Now the good news. There's a roomy child (as long as they''re well-behaved, and dog friendly (They are free to behave as they wish) coffee place right near the beach in beautiful Ocean Beach. There are loads of tables of various sizes for groups, the occasional stoner whose coffee was deactivated by all the THC in his body (This is not a scientific fact, it's just fun hogwash). The woman behind the counter curated my coffee as if it were preparing for The Met Gala. She presented it beautifully and I purchased a fresh sinfful, filthy delicious perfect blueberry muffin. I was in heaven for a good hour. I didn't want to leave but I had to go to an appointment. that I didn't want to go to. (Does this ever happen to you ?). It's the questions that drive me mad, "Sir, how much alcohol do you consume in the average week ?" I acted stupid, "What - can you explain that another way ?" "When do you drink alcohol in a week ?" I replied "Whenever it is offered to me." You should have seen her face.

    Good strong coffee with lots of space to hang out and chill with your drink. The restroom is dark and the lighting changes mood colors to give off an Alice in Wonderland trippy dream vibe.

    I love this place so much! I popped in here to read my book and enjoy some coffee and it was amazing. As other reviews have said, ECLECTIC is a great way to describe this place. The decor, furniture and vibes are fun, unique, and creative. It's such a fun spot to hang out. Today is my first time but I will definitely be back! Service was great and I like the option to pay for a coffee refill at a cheaper price. You just don't see that everywhere I have been reading a new book on one of the couches here for over an hour and have been really enjoying my Saturday afternoon! Apparently they also live open mic and live music throughout the week so I plan on returning for that as well :)

You can decorate the space however you want so it's very customizable. They also allow any outside vendors for food and drink which is a plus because I know some venues make you work their list of food vendors only. I found the staff very easy to work with. We communicated via email the weeks before our party and they answered any questions I had promptly. The only con I had this place was the parking situation. I toured this place in the late afternoon after work when things were nice and quiet, so I didn't think the parking was bad at that time. But on weekends at around noon, it gets really crazy. Factor in the weekend crowd and if there are any other events taking place in the area, it is a nightmare. Some of my family members weren't able to attend my event bc they spent 40+ minutes driving around. I would definitely recommend getting there early or ride sharing, or maybe hosting your event later in the afternoon to avoid the crowds. It was also pretty warm. They do have air conditioning, but since it's an indoor/outdoor space, it's hard to keep the cold air in. It's not the venue's fault for the hot and humid weather we have been experiencing though. Just something to be aware of. Overall, my party turned out great. I would recommend, but just really assess the parking situation.

It is definitely more of a family-friendly type of hotel (actually, it leans more of a motel than hotel). So here's my two cents.: The good: The Dana is in a great location close to the water, technically overlooking a marina. There are two pools, one where they play movies, which is great for families and second pool located near the restaurant (I will have a separate review on that, so stay tuned). The second pool is really nice and offers a nice view of SeaWorld. At night you can catch the SeaWorld's drone show from the pool. The staff, especially the front desk team, was incredibly kind. They went above and beyond to make sure I had a good stay. The Eh: While my room was clean, it had a motel feel rather than a hotel/resort feel. If staying on the second floor, be prepared to carry your luggage up a flight of stairs since there is no elevator. The buildings also feel a bit outdated. It was difficult to truly relax because every time someone walked past my room, I could hear the footsteps and the room would actually rattle a bit. The walls are also quite thin, I could hear kids screaming next door. For one night after taxes, fees and parking, I paid nearly $400. At that price point, I expected a slightly more elevated experience. Because of the motel-like feel and the overall value for what I paid, I give The Dana 3 out of 5 stars.

He made our site visit seamless, and once we booked, the level of support exceeded all expectations.

The vendors they work with are top-notch. We received tons of compliments on the tacos and the photo booth was a huge hit. (This wasn't your average setup--it was a high-end experience where you can customize the photo strip design, pick your backdrop, and choose from options like GIFs, photo series, and more!) The space itself is open concept, essentially a blank canvas with tons of potential for decor, and perfectly located in the heart of Pacific Beach.

I was just trying to grab a single mixer, yet it took way longer than expected because there didn't seem to be any clear system for serving people. It also didn't help that most people were ordering canned cocktails--which should have kept things moving--but the line still felt disorganized. On top of that, people were cutting in line without any staff stepping in, which made the wait even more irritating. What really stood out was the lack of water availability upstairs. When I asked about it, the bartender gave a vague explanation about water not being allowed upstairs, which honestly didn't make much sense. I get that there may be policies, but offering bottled water for purchase seems like a simple fix--and that wasn't an option either. Overall, it's a decent spot if you're just looking to grab a drink and hang by the pool, and the vibe itself is nice. That said, I want to stay fair--this is just my experience, and I'm sharing it so others know what to expect. Since it's part of a hotel, it does feel like guests may be prioritized, so if you're not staying there, just be prepared for a potentially slower, less organized experience.

    We just had our wedding reception on 8/22/2026 at the Seaside Room with 180 guests. Our…read moreplanner/day-of coordinator was Yvonne Elguira and she was absolutely amazing and brilliant with handling our event! She perfectly executed my wife's vision for the reception! Additionally, she was great with making herself available to meet and discuss our event and making adjustments to the floor plan and providing recommendations when applicable. The hall was beautifully decorated and the staff were excellent with both food preparation and bar service. Highly recommend Yvonne and Ranch Events for all your special event needs!

    I highly recommend Ranch Events catering. We hired them to cater my niece's HS grad party, and they…read moredid not disappoint!! Julie Castro was our event coordinator, and she is a true professional who knows her stuff. She is very responsive to inquiries, and is very flexible with all the changes and challenges that arise for throwing a large party. She is kind and cares about her clients and helping them bring their vision to life. We appreciate all her efforts in making our event a phenomenal success. It was an amazing and fun party! We had shrimp ceviche and chicken empanadas as well as fruits, veggies, dips and crackers for appetizers. These were a huge hit with all our guests. For main entrees we had chicken and pot roast with twice baked potatoes, grilled veggies and oriental salad along with rolls and butter. The meats were so scrumptious and tender. We had an abundance of compliments from our guests on how fabulous the food tasted. The staff working our event under the leadership of Danny was superb. They handled all our requests promptly and with the utmost professionalism. For a company that came in at the lower end when pricing caterers, the quality of the service and products they deliver are on par with high end caterers. We loved the food and service provided by Ranch Events. In fact, they catered two of my other cousins events prior, so they came highly recommended to us. They delivered beyond what we could have asked or imagined. Don't delay, book with Ranch Events today.

    I had my wedding ceremony and reception at NTC Venues this past October and couldn't have been…read morehappier with my decision to book with them. My late afternoon reception was held in the grassy, palm tree-lined section of Luce Court & Legacy Plaza, cocktail hour was in the patio area of McMillin Companies Event Center, and the dinner recption was inside McMillin. My top criteria in selecting a venue was 1) the capacity to nail both ceremony and reception without relocation 2) budget, and 3) a uniquely San Diego feel... NTC Venues satisfied all three easily. The clean, polished look of both indoor and outdoor venues offer a perfect canvas for whatever theme/decor you choose to create. And if you cringe at the idea of multi-venue weddings (like me), NTC is a great place to have your ceremony, reception, and pre- and post-wedding photos without the inconvenience of traveling to different locations. Less travel means you have more time to kick back and actually enjoy your party! :) The Event Sales Manager, Rebecca Duckworth, was definitely one of the most pleasant vendor reps I had the pleasure of meeting and working with! On top of her warm, sweet personality, she was very professional, generously accommodating of our needs, and responded promptly and thoroughly to any and all emails.

    Attended a wedding reception here. This event center is located in beautiful Point Loma in the old…read moreNaval Training Center. The grounds are beautiful and are now filled with various business establishments. A definite plus is that there is ample (FREE) parking, and that there are parking lots that are close in proximity to avoid walking a distance. A beautiful fountain and backdrop centers the promenade for some great pics as the sun sets. The reception was well attended with about 300 people. When you're Filipino, it's definitely a PARTY!!! The food was OK as they served 2 different salads, bread, 2 pastas and beef. I was most impressed with the pasta dishes. The tortellini was my fave. The beef was a bit on the dry side. The facility is a bit dated, but it does serve the purpose of holding a grand event. A concern that needs to be addressed is the issue of plugs, cords and outlets. Although the cords were taped to the ground, there were some cords that were clearly sticking up from the floor in the middle of the pathway. One lola actually tripped and fell landing on her kneecaps. OUCH!!!
