i recently moved into the complex that yaqui is in and i have been unable to stay away! the horchata latte is the best coffee i've had and because it's on the way out to work, it's even harder to not stop. the yaqui-cado toast is also unbelievably good! i'm not a fan of avocado but i can't stop eating it!! froylan is so friendly and welcomes you every time you walk in, the staff are so kind and very patient. overall such a great place to grab a coffee, a quick bite, or just hangout for the ambiance. i can't stay away!!! EDIT: adding the photos here. the platano con leche is delicious!! read more

Yaqui Coffee House - horchata latte, yaqui-cado toast, platano con leche - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Nice neighborhood cafe in the area- always kept clean and the service is on top of it when you need anything. I've gone through half of the menu and have enjoyed every drink for what they are, but have started to gravitate towards my standard Horchata Latte for coffee or Matcha Meets Fresa for something more refreshing (helps that most of my friends also gravitate towards the matcha too so I'll usually be ordering 2+ for the group). Always impressed by their choices for the seasonal menu so it keeps things fresh in the kitchen and for the customers. read more

After seeing this place raved on TikTok I wanted to get it to try myself. The parking is decent. When I went in the staff was quick to greet me and asked if I had any questions. I took a look at the menu and decided on getting the Matcha Meets Fresca and chilaquiles. The Matcha was actually pretty good. And the Chilaquiles were decent however I can tell the green salsa is not a fresh salsa. I also did not care for the chicken. It tasted like pre-cooked chicken that had been warmed up. The chips were very crispy however. I think it's a great option for folks in the area, however I would not return given it's not located in my community and can find not your preferred closer to me. There were folks in their meeting and working and although it may be a little noisy, it is a great option to work from. They also have tables outside which I found were nice and provide a more quieter space read more

Took a walk around the neighborhood and stopped for a little sweet drink. When in San Diego, I have to always get my Ube fix so this option was my choice. The coffee was strong and the flavor was delicious! Our party ordered other drinks but we knew this was Ube due to the one speck of purple on the lip lol would be back to try the other drinks and food! read more

I've driven past this coffee shop for years and finally decided to try it. The inside was decorated cute with a rustic, desert vibe. There's indoor seating with chairs & tables as well as comfy chairs. The outdoor seating is covered under umbrellas. I got a matcha with almond milk and added lavender. It was an average matcha, nothing too special. Maybe I should have chosen a different add-in flavor. They made my drink within minutes so service was great! I'll definitely give this place another shot. Gotta support our local coffee shops! read more

Wanted to try a new coffee place and found this spot through Google. Shop looked clean and modern. Staff were friendly and efficient. Loved that we were able to sit at a table outside and enjoy the nice weather. Ordered their ube latte, vanilla latte and strawberry crepe. The ube latte looked pretty with the vibrant purple slowly descending into the latte. The vanilla latte was good, but stronger than expected. The crepe was cooked well. The strawberries were fresh and sweetly satisfying. Paid $29.70 with tip. Will make a return visit to taste other items. read more

Stopped by here on a weekday, early afternoon. Cute coffee spot with a native vibe. There are a few tables outside, and decent size indoor seating. Service is quick and friendly. Their menu is simple but with flavors unique to Yaqui. I love caramel macchiato, so I tried to dulce beso. Good quality and not overly sweet. The location adds to the cozy local neighborhood feel. read more

Stopped by this charming neighborhood coffee shop not too far from where I live and was pleasantly surprised. We ordered a hot Ube Dream and an iced Horchata Latte, both were well balanced, flavorful, and not overly sweet, which is totally up my alley. The baristas were friendly and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations. The space has a desert inspired aesthetic that feels cozy. Overall, a great local spot, and I'll definitely be coming back to support this neighborhood coffee shop. read more

Yaqui Coffee House - Hot ube dream and iced horchata latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Service here is really nice and super helpful with recommendations you feel welcomed right when you walk in. This was my second visit, and I always appreciate a good coffee spot that opens early. Just a heads up: they're closed on Mondays (I almost stopped by again, but luckily checked the map first). This spot is definitely worth trying if you're a sweet-coffee lover. I asked for my drink 75% sweet, and both times it was just right. I'm not in my "add an extra shot" era atm, otherwise I probably would've gone that route. This visit, I ordered the Dulce Beso hot and it was super good! my only wish is that it came in a bigger size for $8. If you're trying to get more bang for your buck, I'd recommend ordering iced. My first visit, I tried the seasonal cookie butter latte, iced with oat milk. It wasn't overly sweet and was definitely a solid choice ! I'd totally recommend it. The inside is huge with plenty of seating and a cozy vibe. The menu is big and easy to read, though a little overwhelming at first, but honestly, it feels like you can't go wrong. There's also plenty of parking, which is always a plus. If you're in the neighborhood, definitely stop by! read more

Was impressed by this cute little coffee shop. Tried to come by the other day and the line was out the door. I came back bright and early to try it out. The coffee is delicious. The churro latte was so good I have to come back for it for sure. I also got a Mexican mocha that was good too. A little strong in taste could be compared to dark chocolate. The breakfast was also good. Small portions but im not complaining. Food was fresh and the quality was perfect. No where else sells a crossiant with chilorio. This place is worth a trip back. read more

Stopped by on a Sunday morning around 9:30 and the place was already bustling. We ordered two breakfast dishes and a couple of coffees. The staff was genuinely friendly, and we were able to find a seat inside without too much trouble. We expected a bit of a wait given how busy it was, but the timing ended up being a bit off. Our food arrived first--we had the avocado toast and the mini green chilaquiles. Both dishes were delicious, though the chilaquiles verdes leaned a little heavy on the garlic. (Seriously--hours later, even after brushing, lunch, and multiple rounds of mouthwash, that garlic flavor was still going strong.) We took our time eating, hoping the drinks would arrive, but they didn't come out until much later. We ordered a cappuccino and an iced churro latte. The cappuccino finally came out right as we finished eating--it tasted good, just a bit lukewarm. About five minutes later, the iced churro latte was ready, so we ended up taking it to go. That one was actually really good. Overall, the food and drinks were solid, and the staff made a great impression. I'd definitely like to come back and give it another shot. I love supporting small, locally owned businesses, and with a little adjustment to the flow--like pausing mobile orders during peak times or dedicating a team specifically to them--this place could really elevate the experience. read more

Great location in the new Escaya community in Chula Vista with plenty of morning parking available. The atmosphere is calm and inviting, with relaxing lo-fi music at just the right volume and plenty of seating for dining or getting some work done. I had previously ordered through Grubhub, but finally stopped in to dine in--and I'm so glad I did! I ordered the Mayan in Wheels (vegan option--huge plus!) along with the mini chilaquiles with chiliario and egg for protein, and everything was delicious. While delivery has always been great, the in-store experience was even better. Service was fast and friendly, and the overall vibe made it a perfect spot to relax or be productive. I would absolutely recommend this place! read more

Stopped here on our way to get groceries over the weekend. Place was packed with people. The drinks were good, but I didn't get the caffeine energy I typically get with highly caffeinated drinks. I ordered "the boss" that had 4 espresso shots. Pastries were ok. Good outdoor seating. read more

Yaqui Coffee House made me a pretty good cortado. I was smooth and rich in coffee flavors and with only a touch of bitterness towards the end. I did not like that they did not take cash, and that for a Sunday morning, a day when people are out and about, they had not refilled the baked goods and pastries, but only carried a few items from the day before. That was very disappointing, especially when you have a significant amount of people visiting. The young man who took my order was friendly and had a good sense of humor. They offer a good amount of seating inside and outside and also offer breakfast items. read more

Happy to have this great coffee shop in our neighborhood. They have a variety of coffees, even some original combinations. They do offer food and pastries, which I haven't tried. We ordered a Cortado with almond milk and an Iced Coffee Latte. Both of them were made to perfection. Great coffee quality. Service is great! That is one reason we keep on coming. Everyone seems to like working at that place. We have also seen the owner check on the customers to make sure they are doing good. Great space with sofas and tables to enjoy your coffee and food. Ambiance is inviting. Coffee place is located in an area where there are other business and houses. Great for the people that live there to walk. read more

Another addition to the neighborhood in the newer developing areas. It's located right under an apartment. Parking is limited but it's not bad cause there's nothing in that area so it's not busy. The place itself was clean and quaint. It's your typical coffee shop with tables and leather chairs, nothing too much, just your typical neighborhood coffee shop. I had no issues with the service. They all seemed like hardworking neighborhood college kids. I personally had no issues. They were polite and were working hard, I had no issues with it. The drinks however were just not outstanding. It's nothing on the staffs fault. But I just did not enjoy them. I had their strawberry matcha and I'm not gonna lie, it was terrible. The matcha did not taste like matcha. It left a terrible after taste. And the strawberry was a strawberry milk but it didn't even have that much of a strawberry taste. Also, it left me so nauseous after. I don't think I'll ever come back. I wanted to give them a chance and support a local business, but I think that was the one chance. read more

Came here with a friend on a Sunday after finding out about this place on TikTok. We tried the Ube Dream and Dulce Beso. Both were on the sweeter side. You can barely taste the coffee in Ube Dream to be honest. If you like strong coffee, this is probably not your spot. Love that they make the crepes in front of you though. Service was quick and it had a nice atmosphere where people just sat and talked. I would come again if I was ever in the area, but might not be worth a long drive there. read more

Located in the 'Villages of Escaya' on Avenida Escaya and Heritage Rd with plenty of parking, but can be difficult to find a spot during peak hours due to neighboring businesses. Besides coffee, tea, and specialty drinks, they serve 'Chilaquiles, Breakfast Croissants and Toast, Parfait, and Crepes'. They also have pastries and lunch bites such as 'Chicken Club Sandwich, Salmon Croissant, and Chicken Wrap'. I had their 'Ube Dream' drink over ice which consists of condensed milk, sweet foam, and Ube drizzle. Definitely a treat because this is a very sweet drink, just what I needed. My cousin had an iced 'Matcha Meets Fresa', the fresa mix is made with oat milk which can not be changed as is pre-mixed. Both drinks were delicious! You order at the counter and find an open table if you plan on having your meal there. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, but it gets busy during weekend breakfast hours with a full lobby. The line was to the door but surprisingly, it moved fast. You can also order online and pick up. Service was great. Shootout to 'Froylan', he was extremely welcoming and helpful with the menu as it was our first visit. He even gave us a sample of their 'Café de Olla' served cold, which was interesting. Overall, we had a great experience here and will definitely return to try other menu items. read more

Yaqui recently opened their doors in the Escaya neighborhood in Chula Vista East a few months ago. Froylan, one of the owners, was gracious and welcoming, providing explanations to the different beverages offered to all new customers! What I had: Ube Dream - Loved the Ube Drizzle & the condensed milk combo in this drink! Mayan on Wheels - A customer fave because it includes Horachat made in house and topped with crunchy cacao nibs. Berry Patch - Light and refreshing iced tea drink that would pair well with their lunch options. I did a price comparison with Starbucks refreshers and I was able to get a Venti for cheaper than this tea, which is noticeable smaller. Also there no other sizes to choose from with their drinks, there's just one size. Although I got to say they aren't heavy handed with the ice, which I appreciated. Agree with other customers regarding the breakfast and lunch items being quite pricey. I opted to eat at home instead. I did love the community vibe of this place and it's a welcome addition to Chula Vista East. read more

I highly recommend trying it out and I will definitely be back! read more

Yaqui Coffee House - Iced dulce beso with oatmilk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I wanted to like Yaqui Coffee House. I really did. I came in for a coffee and a bacon burrito. The coffee was good, but it was $6 for a pour over. Six dollars. That felt steep. The bacon burrito was what really got me, though. $14.50. For something so small, I thought they handed me the wrong order. I even put a gift card next to it for comparison, to make sure I wasn't imagining things. Barely any bacon inside. And the little bit that was there wasn't even crispy, so it just got lost in the rest of the burrito. Mostly potato. They called it "house potato," but it was just bland, boiled potato. That's all I tasted. They gave me a tiny side of salsa too. It matched the size of the burrito. Which, I guess, made sense. But still. $14.50 for this is madness. Eating in was confusing. When I ordered, they gave me one of those plastic numbers to put on my table. I heard the cashier tell the customer ordering in front of me (an older woman) that they bring your food to you when you dine in. So I figured that's what they did. But they didn't. They called out names instead. The same older customer that ordered infront of me, was sitting outside. An employee went out there and yelled her name. Didn't bring her the food. Just yelled. The elder customer seemed mad, presumably because she was told they would bring her the stuff she ordered. She had a hard time getting up, and the tone the employee used sounded impatient. It didn't sit right with me. And picking up your order? Coffees come out on one side of the counter. Food comes out on the opposite side. Same counter. Nothing in the way. My coffee and burrito were ready at the same time, so I had to make two trips. Not a huge deal, but still odd. Why is everything so expensive here? High cost of goods on eggs? Can't be. The burrito was mostly bland potato. Not much egg. Bacon? Bacon was on vacation. Rent at Escaya? Could be. Or maybe they pass the cost of those cute cactus toothpicks onto the customer? Probably. I wanted to like this place. But between the prices and the disconnect between the staff, I don't think I'll be back. read more

It's a hard YES!!! I'm very particular with my coffee. The hotness, the balance of bittersweet and smoothness... they're all checked!!! I ordered hot Yaqui Mocha latte with non-fat milk and an add-on lavender. Perfect! My husband ordered hot Chai latte and he approved of it too. We had nutella crepe. Although there's a lot of choices. So we will surely try those Chillaquilles, avocado toast, etc. The place has an ambiance of a farmer's market at the same time their coffee mugs are "Mayan" inspired. Very good customer service. The owner and the rest of the crews are trying to know their customers on a personal level... that is really good! read more

Nice new addition to the area. A little off the beaten path, but worth checking out. Mexican theme lattes, traditional espresso drinks, food, indoor/outdoor seating, friendly service, and free street parking. The inside was cozy and had plenty of seating. The only downside was the high ceiling and open space. This made everything echo, from the slight shift of chairs to a cough. The prices for the food items were slightly on the high side, but I found the drinks reasonably priced. I came in on a weekday around 9am, and had the place to myself. I ordered the horchata latte and took a seat to read. Within minutes of me taking my first sip, people constantly came in and formed a line to order. No kidding, I counted, 20 people were either waiting in line or waiting for their order at a time. I found it difficult to read here with the continuous flow of foot traffic. But I was amazed of how popular this place was. I ordered my horchata latte to enjoy there, and appreciated the mug it was placed in. It was a wooden mug with a face carved on the side. The latte had good flavor and I enjoyed the espresso taste and perfect temperature. Cool new coffee spot and worth trying. read more

Service was great, but the food and drinks we're disappointing. I am a matcha lover and their iced matcha was not good. It was light green and just tasted like milk. They made the matcha with a premixed matcha base so im not surprised. The green chilaquiles were also not good the salsa was chunky and tasted strongly of garlic. The maya on wheels just tasted like a vanilla latte you could get anywhere else, I didn't really get any horchata flavor. The chipotle chilaquiles were much better. The cafe de la olla cold brew was weak. read more

I ordered the Caesar wrap and the ube dream (iced). Both were really great options. I enjoy this little area because it's very open and there were tons of parking when we went at 9am. The Caesar wrap had a kick to it which was nice, I love a little spice. The ube dream was okay, I would be willing to try their matcha next. The barista was so sweet when I asked her for a sticker for my junk journal! This place is a little pricey, but you pay for quality meals!

5 stars for everything; coffee, food, service, cleanliness. *Coffee/food: This new hidden gem has amazing coffee. I ordered an iced dulce beso, my husband got an iced horchata latte. Both coffees were strong and had the perfect amount of sweetness, it's not overly sweet at all. I love all the caramel in the Dulce Beso. I'd definitely order that drink again. I ordered the breakfast bacon burrito with a spinach wrap. I looove the housemade salsa it comes with! Super fresh, tasty and has a mild kick. *Ambiance: I love the high ceilings of this coffee shop, how spacious it is, and the free wifi. It's a great place to hangout, work or study. There is outside seating as well. It was quite busy when I went and noisy. *Parking: there's a good amount of parking in the front, but I can see it getting busy on the weekends, so you might have to park far. *Service: Shout out to Cherry for the awesome service. She was sweet and helpful. 10 out of 10 recommend Yaqui Coffee House! read more

Probably one of the best tasting coffees I've had in a long time in San Diego. I feel like a lot of coffees have been very milky lately but this coffee is strong, almost like vietnamese coffee aroma. Im fldefinately coming back to try their mango sticky rice latte. I did get the ube dream half sweet since they said that drink is the sweetest out of all of them and half sweet was perfection. I wish it wasn't very far from me but I will for sure make the trip back here to try the rest of the menu read more
