    Exterior pic of Amalo's coffee cart and location tucked in by the library
    K B.

    Mr. Amalo has a warm and inviting personality. Amalo's is tucked in near the library entrance behind one of the big beautiful trees. If you are walking, or across the street at the park or the library, it's a local business worthy of support. You can get coffee, of course, donuts and cold drinks. If you wanted a quick bite, the cart does have noodles. There are two seating tables and chairs to enjoy your coffee break. The area is shaded and serene all year. Alongside the library boardwalk are cemented benches with honorary plaques. I ordered a vanilla chai latte with coffee and actually it was balanced and yummy. By the way, if you Yelp check-in you get a .50 donut

    My boyfriend was searching up coffee spots ( always goes with 4.5 stars or 5 ) lol and he came across this one on our bike ride around Coronado and ever since then he started driving from national city to Coronado for this coffee lol I'm not a coffee person but I gave in and tried it and I actually have to say it's actually really good ! And deff recommend !

    Hands down best coffee in the South Bay! I spend way too much time at the library and Alex is always there to keep me caffeinated with delicious brew and a friendly smile. It's just a really nice place to take a break from the day. Today I had a rose latte with soy milk. Yum!

    The photos showcased donuts. They haven't had donuts in quite some time it seems. A bunch of new stand candy and sodas is it.

    A fun stop over for an iced latte and water before hitting up the dog beach. Quick, efficient and really nice owner.

    Barista was very nice. Ordered triple shot and didn't have much crema and it wasn't that hot but the flavor was delish.

    The best coffee bar in Coronado is Amalo. Second place would be a tie between the patio of Cafe 1134 and Tartine.

    First time at The Henry. We did not make reservations and had a 30 minute wait for dinner and we…read moresat at the bar. Ambiance is fantastic and fun!! Food was excellent. Sasha the Manager of The Henry was wonderful a long with the hostesses and Chris our server!! We will be back next time in Coronado for sure

    Food: Guacamole (8/10) - Wasn't too salty and came in a good…read moresharable portion. I liked it! The chips felt fresh too. Umami Brussels Sprouts (10/10) - The best Brussels sprouts I've had in San Diego so far! They had a nice crisp to them and weren't too oily or anything, but had a LOT of flavor, which I love. It didn't just taste dry and salty like Brussels sprouts sometimes can. Definitely one of my favorites. Molten Butter Cake (10/10) - This dessert is an angel food cake with pretzel toffee and caramel inside, then it goes in the oven to get warm before being brought out and topped with vanilla bean gelato and caramel. It was so well balanced. It looked really sweet, but because of how balanced all the flavors were, it didn't actually taste overly sweet. I don't even like caramel and it was SO good in this. The outside was soft, and the toffee and pretzel inside gave it a nice crunch. I really liked the combination of the soft cake with the crunchy pretzel toffee. Wagyu Cheeseburger with fries (8.5/10) - The patty had a smoky, grilled type of flavor that was really yummy. It was a good portion and was made really well. The fries were also a decent addition as a side choice. Egg Sandwich (8.5/10) - Pretty basic, but really well made and put together. The bun was a bit toasted, so it wasn't super soft and had a slight crispness to it, which I liked. The flavors were really well balanced and it was honestly so good. Service: The best service! Even when it wasn't a staff member in charge of our table, we were frequently checked on and everyone was super attentive and conversational, which made the experience a lot more personal and better. I love being able to share a laugh and have a conversation with the staff. The staff member responsible for our table was Heider, and he was super attentive, helpful, conversational, and patient. We also loved meeting Sasha! She's super nice and conversational as well. Thank you for having us! Ambiance: Such a nice restaurant inside and outside. We got the patio high top seating and it was really nice. It was hot out, but the big umbrella helped. It's super busy, but it still felt nice outside, and everything looked super clean and aesthetic. Really nice vibes overall.

    Stopped in for tea & coffee Lots of loose leaf tea options,…read moreI got earl grey. It was delicious. There are a plethora of coffee options also. Walked out with a bunch of baked goodies I didn't expect to get, but they all looked so good! We tried the macarons and chocolate dipped Madeline's. Didn't love the Madeline but the macaron was yummy! I think the decorated cakes are absolutely beautiful. Might try a slice of one next time I'm here. Service is helpful and patient as you make up your mind! Not a lot of outdoor seating options [this review was written in connection with a Toast promotion]

I brought this to an employee's attention, expecting at least some acknowledgment or concern. Instead, she simply responded, "I know they're in there." There was no apology, no explanation, and she did not seem concerned about the issue at all. Seeing flies inside a closed food display is already unpleasant, but the casual response from the employee made the experience even more disappointing. I hope management takes this seriously and addresses the sanitation issue, as well as how concerns like this are handled with customers.
