I had such a great experience here! I was greeted right away, which instantly made me feel welcomed. I ordered the Village Cafe Special, and it was delicious. I also appreciated that they asked what type of milk I preferred instead of assuming -- it's the little details that make a difference. Service was quick, and every employee I interacted with was polite and friendly. Definitely a spot I'd come back to again! read more

Went early Saturday morning and loved the cute, spacious vibe. The staff was super friendly! I had a dirty chai latte and an açaí bowl--both were delicious. It's a great spot for an easy, quick morning grab or to sit and enjoy a relaxed breakfast. Only thing to note is there's no WiFi, so it's more of a place to unplug and enjoy your meal. read more

Order is always made fresh. I've never had a disappointing experience. Service is fast even if it's only one person running the whole store! I see so much love and effort into not just the coffee, but the food as well. It's a simple menu but the flavors are definitely there! Besides the coffee, conversation with the owner is always wholesome. The way he can bring out and share the flavors through his culture and life experiences..is amazing! He will adjust to your tastebuds! I'm always served coffee with perfect sweetness, not too sweet, just perfect. Dining area is always clean and chill spot to do some work in peace. I'm indecisive and the owner always helps me decide and he always gets my cravings right! If you live in downtown this is definitely a go to spot for you! I believe he does catering as well! So I'll definitely keep that in mind for events in the future!! read more

This is my go to weekday work space. It's a nice little spot, actually the second location of the cafe series. The other one is only a block away. I like this place because they have coffee in the morning and early afternoon, and then they close for a couple hours. Reopening for evening time with the addition of hookah. The location is great for east village locals. Just a walk away from the bars and a lot of apartments and condos in the area. The service is really good. It's usually annoying trying to get new coals, but the guy who I think was the owner, was really on top of making sure the hookah was going smoothly. I haven't tried the coffee,(not really a coffee drinker) but I hear it's really good. They have a bathroom in the back that's clean. The new decor and the chill customer base makes for a nice spot to pull out the laptop and get some stuff done. Unlike some of the other hookah lounges close by that blast music, I can actually hear the conferences that I have to be in. There are couches all around for comfy seating. Good job. Of course I'll be back. Great addition to the area. read more

Oh my goodness. This place is delicious! We were looking for Turkish coffee around the neighborhood and we found this cafe so we tried it. Delicious!! We got Turkish coffee, i got an ice vanilla flavored latte and a vegan sandwich. My latte was delicious, for the amount they gave me for the price, very worth it and it was so good. The sandwich was soooo good too. The service was very welcoming, kind people overall. The place is a cute small cafe. Lots of space to sit for outdoor seating. Not wheelchair accessible, there's only 2 steps though. It's not too bad, if you can handle that. I will be coming again! read more

Five different matcha drinks were offered along with hot and cold coffees and lattes. The top three matcha choices were priced at $8 each. I chose the Ordinary Pleasure which was the first one. Pandan sticky rice milk and mango puree were added to the matcha and topped with a salted coconut foam. I wasn't a fan of the foam, but the matcha flavor was intense and contrasted by the fruity puree on the bottom of the cup. The baristas were very focused with measuring the exact amounts for each ingredient in the drinks they were preparing.

They also have plenty of seating and I could definitely see myself spending a few hours working here. I love that they had high tops, regular tables, and some comfier couch seating. They also had some board games set out.

The bar area in the middle offers outlets around every seat for convenient device charging. I was here on Saturday morning and there was plenty of street parking. It wasn't too busy inside either. I got mixed service from the staff. I ordered the matcha flight but received a coffee flight. Which was fine but I was a little confused as to why they didn't give me the thing I ordered. I do want to go back and hopefully try the matcha flight next time.

I can't personally speak on the matcha since it was my friend's, but the Banana Pudding Latte?! 10/10. Holy cow. They actually put REAL banana pudding in it, so you get a sip of banana pudding with your coffee and it is SO good. It's the perfect balance of sweetness while still actually tasting the coffee. Definitely recommend! There is street parking, but just be mindful of the surrounding area. There is a noticeable homeless population nearby, so it's not necessarily the best location, but they did have security at the entrance, which I appreciated. I would absolutely come back for that Banana Pudding Latte.

Upon getting there you notice a big homie guy just standing by the door. Unsure if he's security or the lady's husband- but good spot! I've been in the search for the banana latte and the one I tried was delicious!!! So coffee was 10/10 very good! And very good experience- few tables outside as well with some seating. Very clean and good service . I will return just because it was good coffee

Stopped by this new coffee café downtown and absolutely loved it. The space is beautiful, clean, and very welcoming with plenty of seating both inside and outside. The atmosphere was relaxing, the music was on point, and the overall vibe made it a great place to sit, unwind, or catch up with friends. The owner was incredibly kind, friendly, and personable, which really made the experience stand out. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers and the quality of the café. We ordered an iced vanilla latte, a white mocha latte, and a blueberry muffin. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced. The coffee beans were high quality, and you could definitely taste the difference. The blueberry muffin paired perfectly with the drinks. It's always nice finding a local spot that has both amazing customer service and great coffee. Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more items on the menu in the future. read more

What a charming hidden gem! From the moment we arrived, my friend and I were greeted with warm smiles and a friendly welcome. We both ordered Turkish coffee and savored it in the cozy atmosphere of the shop. I loved the industrial decor inside, and the entire experience was delightful. I'm definitely looking forward to returning to explore more of their coffee offerings. read more

This looked like a nice place to grab a bite so we stopped in. We ordered the breakfast burrito with no avocado, a BLTA, and avocado toast with egg on top. The drinks came out within reason but then we were stuck waiting . People before us had received their food. Finally after 30 mins I got my burrito and of course it had avocado on it. I ate the side that didn't have it but I was bummed to pay, wait 30 mins, and get it wrong. But I wasn't about to complain and be forced to wait longer for a correct version. Our friend who ordered the avocado toast went up and asked if hers would be done soon and they said they didn't have that order in the system.they scrambled to make it and handed it to her and totally forgot the egg she paid extra for. They took it back and added an extra egg as an apology but by then it had been 40 mins. The food isn't bad but the wait was far from worth it. I'd rather go to a chain and get something quicker. I love to support small business but this was not worth it in any way. Also hard to wait that long while the meal wasn't cheap in any means. Just disappointed.

It's crunchy sourdough bread with soft chicken, pepper jack cheese, chipotle mayo, and bell peppers. It's filling and serves two for $14. Menu is tucked on the back on a screen, which is a little hard to see if you're standing in line. They also have popular coffee. Street parking is available, and there's a code-required bathroom with a cute sign to indicate occupancy. It gets crowded around lunch, but you can grab and go or sit inside or outside if it's nice. It is a little tight inside if you have a wheelchair, but they do have a lower table for a handicap folks. It's about a two blocks away from the SD County superior courthouse which is a quick walk for lunch if you're there for jury duty.

It's street parking only, so can be challenging depending on when you come. I stopped in during the week, as I walked from the nearby Padres stadium. It wasn't very busy when I came in around 11:30, but after I ordered it really picked up. They do have a counter where you order the food, and also a bar that you can sit at that appears to have a pretty good selection of alcohol. There are a few tables to sit at. After I place my order I decided to sit at the table with the Ronald McDonald statue, because why not? I asked the very nice server about the menu, and she let me know what was popular and answered my questions. I decided to go with the muffaletta as it was on focaccia bread, which I really love. The sandwich was huge, and I definitely needed someone to share it with. They do cut it in half, so it is actually perfect for sharing or taking the other half home. It is filled with several different types of Italian Meats, including salami, sopressata, mortadella, some cheese and arugula and onions, and a sauce they use. I've never had a muffaletta before, so I can't speak to how authentic this is, but I can tell you it was a very good sandwich. I loved all of the flavors and the way they came together, and the fact that it was on focaccia bread just made it all the more perfect. Overall this is a very cute place to grab breakfast or lunch, I believe they are only open until 3:00 p.m.. The decor is very cute, with several different statues, disco ball, and a music area , and I think kids would love it as well as adults. I also enjoyed the food, and would like to try some of the other things on their menu as well. I could see myself going back if I'm in the area.
