Amazing service! I was having a massive caffeine headache, and my boyfriend and I stopped on our…read moreroad trip to grab our beloved Dutch orders at the nearest Dutch. We placed the order on the app and showed up, but to the wrong location! (There were so many in a small area and we were unfamiliar with the area.) But thank goodness for the accidental mess up because the man who helped us quickly resolved our issue and very quickly made us, quite frankly, some of the best tasting Dutch bros we've had. Evidence: I never enjoy my boyfriend's order, but I always take a sip, I think it's kind of boring. He gets a Dragonslayer extra rebel and I cant get into it. But this location made his drink *chefs kiss* If we lived in this area, I would make this my routine location!

I'm a soda person, so I always order their custom soda mixes for my drink. I've tried the dirty versions, but wasn't that big a fan. I love the passion fruit, and I try it with different combos like watermelon or strawberry. You can signup for the rewards program, and order ahead of time on the app. They offer a free birthday drink for rewards members, and different theme giveaways, discounts, and promotions. They have the double drive thru line, and it can get hectic at peak times. There is also the small side order window and a few patio tables if you don't want to do drive thru. Staff is always friendly, fun, and efficient! They do in-person ordering for the drive thru, and they are happy to offer suggestions on drink choices and modifications. There are tons of choices for add-ins and to your coffee, hot chocolate, energy drink, or soda.

I was expecting a milder strawberry flavor with a stronger coffee presence, but the strawberry overpowered the coffee. I'm open to trying it again another time. None of the pastries caught my attention during this visit. I also wish the menu was displayed more clearly. Currently it sits on the countertop, and I didn't notice prices listed. It would be helpful if the menu were better organized, especially separating hot and iced drinks with their sizes.

The turnover 11/10, and I will make special trips just to get great pastries. The service here is very kind, inviting and so helpful. They have some seating inside and a few tables outside as well for ample seating. The ONLY negative thing about this place they have no control over. The parking SUCKS OUT LOUD. I hate trying to park in downtown Escondido. I can't take anything away from them for this but-for me- the frustration in this keeps it from being my regular place. If you live in the area and like good coffee and food, 100% would recommend

I stopped by on a quiet Wednesday afternoon to get some work done. I was really hoping to love this…read morespot since it's so close to my house, but the experience was a bit of a letdown. The Service: The staff greeted me promptly and took my order without any issues. They were polite and efficient, although a little busy amongst themselves. The Coffee: Unfortunately, the latte was the biggest drawback--it tasted quite bitter and over-extracted. I'd love to make this my "regular" neighborhood spot, but the coffee quality needs to be more consistent for that to happen. The Atmosphere: It's a quiet environment, which was good for productivity. Great location and friendly service, but I'm hoping the espresso improves!

We came right when the cafe opened and were the only ones there so far. Even though the drinks can be on the pricier side, they are well worth it! I got the peppermint mocha and it was delightful. It wasn't too sweet and the taste was great. I would gladly return to this cafe. I love all the decorations and informative signs as well.

You walk in and the vibes were so welcoming, clean, vibrant, comfy, and spacious. Loved all the details of the artwork and colors they put in to their space. Take time to read the captions of the photos on wall -- it made me feel so connected to the coffee shops origins! I love a good story and knowing the heartbeat of a business. I told the barista how I randomly found them asked her what was their most ordered drink? She told me the De La Olla Latte, Horchata Latte, and Blueberry Matcha. I was in a coffee mood so I went with the De La Olla Latte, got it half sweetened, with oat milk and got it hot. This cup of coffee was one of the best the had. The quality and taste of their coffee beans from Mexico do not disappoint! Also the extra flavoring for this speciality drink was so flavorful too. Well worth the taste, experience, and price! I also ordered a Cardamom Vanilla Cinnamon Morning Bun to go with it. My word the pastry was perfectly made with its softness and outside crunch, and the flavors were so well balanced none of it was over powering or too sweet. The barista's customer service was also so welcoming, kind, and took time to explain their drinks and any other questions I had. She put the cherry in top of my experience there. I am already looking forward to going back to try out their blueberry match or horchata latte! Plus I heard they have bomb conchas. Overall: 10/10 would recommend!

We choose to order 4 of their holiday drinks. 1st I'll talk about the egg nog latte. We got this one iced. I barely tasted the egg nog and the espresso wasn't really impressive. 2 out of 5 2nd Peppermint Bark Blondie. This one I didn't like much either. The peppermint tasted kinda medicinal to me and was too milky. 1 out of 5. 3rd Chocolate Pretzel Mocha Iced and my daughter liked this one . She liked the creaminess of it and the caramel taste was present. I did taste the saltiness as well. 3 or 5. 4th was my favorite and that was the Berry Blush Fuel. It's their sweet energy drink with a huge amount of candy flavor. This one was a 5 out of 5. The baristas are very kind and have sweet personalities. Their vanilla lattes and mochas are what I go back for! We even got a Puppychino for our sweet pup

With ample seating indoors and a dog friendly patio set up, who could want more?! The ladies at the counter who helped my husband and I were very nice and friendly. The menu was extensive and they even had holiday drinks for the winter season. I ordered a white peppermint mocha and my husband the toasted marshmallow mocha. We both gravitated more towards the peppermint mocha for the well balanced chocolatey minty coffee flavor. We felt there wasn't much of a marshmallow balance, but could be we both tried the peppermint and it just stood out more to our palettes.

The shop looks really nice inside, thoughtfully decorated, albeit somewhat uncomfortable chairs. I elected to sit at the bar but still had to order at the counter, that's ok. I was given a number sign that was never retrieved. Service was satisfactory, yet somewhat impersonal. I was there for about an hour, watching lunch time service unfolding. They were nice and busy but not suitably staffed for the orders it seemed. Everything just happened at a rather slow, methodical pace. I did observe a few patrons come up to the counter inquiring about their orders and complaining the soup was cold. I ordered the "California Club" sandwich, made with turkey, bacon, swiss cheese, avocado, tomato, red onion, pesto and mayonnaise. Comes with your choice of soup or salad. The sandwich itself was good overall. An appropriate amount of sliced turkey, tasty, crispy bacon on a substantial, dense bread with a nice chew. If there was avocado, it was completely indiscernible. Maybe it was smeared in with all the green pesto, I don't know. The salad was tasty, although haphazardly presented and excessively dressed. Since this place offers wine, I had a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. It was served in an elegant, tall stemless glass, unfortunately at room temperature. There is one restroom here, somewhat unkempt. In summary, a nice neighborhood spot with a classic coffee shop vibe.

And picked up an almost croissant. They do not shelve non fat milk, but have oat and almond. So I went with oat. Two customers that came after me go thier drinks first. And when mine came up, it was lovely but not right. It was a cold mocha. They remade it. It was just a wee annoying, especially since I was coming here with the hopes of a mind blowing experience. The coffee was fine. The staff seem to know the local regulars and chat them up appropriately. The seating it still hard and uncomfortable. I'll try again one more time to see if hey flip my bippy. So far two stars for they way they interacted with other. One star for the pastry and the coffee mis up and late service was a - of stars. And my picky pastry folks (she knows who she is) would say it's not a true croissant, as there are cuts across the pastry... but it's buttery and flaky..

We tasted zero peach and only brown sugar. It was really sweet. My 25% sweet lychee black tea with boba was way too sweet as well. The boba pearls themselves were soft and tasted warm/fresh, however, there was way too much of the brown sugar syrup they were sitting in at the bottom of our cups. We both only got through half the drink. The store was clean, and they had a few cute claw machine games and even a free neighborhood Pokémon card exchange box.

Finally, the new big reveal.. it's the Mika's Salad... somehow, the chef Dušanka came up with a perfect medley of greens, spinach, heart of palm, black olives, garbanzo chickpeas, delicious sprinkling of feta cheese and pine nuts and to top it off, request two velvety poached eggs that sit delicately on this bed of goodness, you will keep coming back!!
