I special ordered a coffee that wasn't on the menu and the barista, Mindy, was very accommodating and friendly. It was a double shots of espresso with coconut, caramel, and chocolate syrup and it was really good, not too sweet, like 75% sweetness. I could taste the coconut and chocolate with a hint of caramel. I highly recommend this place. And a big thank you to the barista for being so awesome! read more

terrible. order an iced latte and DRIP COFFEE. didn't give me my drip coffee right away and waited to bring it out with my other drink. took 30 minutes. packaged sandwich was not good. read more

Needed a quick pick me up while I was studying at Geisel Library and stopped by Audrey's Cafe! Got the Matcha Latte (Iced and Less Sweet) for $4.75. It tasted more like milk with a hint of matcha powder, but to be fair I did order less sweet! Next time I would order extra matcha. Personally, I would give this matcha latte a 6/10. Would come by again if I needed a quick coffee break while at the library! The worker was very nice to me and explained the drinks/options I can change for my drink. Very nice service :) read more

Audrey's Cafe - Two Matcha Lattes - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

I tried Audrey's, located in San Diego's UTC area, today at a catered event. It was delicious! The pastries were huge! I tried both a supersized cinnamon bun and almond- brown sugar, stuffed pastry, similar to a danish. The cinnamon bun looked really good. Glazed and sprinkled liberally with cinnamon. My only critique is the outer swirl of pastry was dry and tough, but then again, maybe the pastry had been sitting for a bit before I got it. The inner layers were divine. Soft, not overly cooked, packed with cinnamon and brown sugar, and surprisingly light, given the size of this treat. The second pastry is something I have never tasted before. It was a flaky pastry, topped with almond slivers, that had a second pastry at it's center, a "basboosa"-like cake. A basboosa is a Mediterranean desert made from yogurt, a selmolina base-flour (almond based) with an almost doughy consistency, similar to a cake but less consistent. The combination of flaky pastry and the hollow center with the "basboosa" was a real treat. I love this bakery!! read more

Audrey's has changed hands. They used to serve decaf...no longer. I liked Audrey's because their baked goods were good and they would heat them up for you. I received a cold dry croissant that is probably processed. The final blow, I finally reached 10 coffees on my punch card and they no longer accept them. Very sad. I will be in search of another coffee stop. read more

Honestly, I'm not too thrilled. Located in Geisel library, Audrey's is a good place if you want a quick snack or drink when studying. Came here around 2 weeks ago and got the turkey avocado croissant. I took a bite, and it tasted like it was 2 weeks old. When I deconstructed the sandwich, the avocado was moldy, the meat was rotten, and the paste (or mayo?) that was inside smelled similarly to plastic. Such a waste of money. Hopefully, this business will make sure the quality of its sandwiches are a bit more fresh. Please-- for the sake of health. 2/5 Stars. read more

New coffee place in Geisel library (2nd floor East). Better than Fairbanks coffee carts but not as good as Art of Espresso by Mandeville. I would also say it's a little better than Starbucks simply because Starbucks is too sweet for me. I tried their white chocolate mocha, cuz its my go to drink and how I rate coffee places. The coffee was more creamy and sweet compared to art of espresso. And the taste was also pretty good, better than Fairbanks. In fact, my mocha kind of tasted more like a cupcake than a coffee. So a white mocha may not be the best choice if you're going for the stronger coffee taste. I have heard that their zucchini bread is amazing, personally have not tried it yet. My friend got their cold brew coffee and thought it was pretty good, better than Fairbanks and as good as Muir woods. She said it even taster better than Starbucks. The workers were friendly and nice. Place isn't super packed. they also have other beverages and yogurts, etc. I'll also upload pictures of their pastries and other items. I do recommend trying this place, especially if you're already in the library. And I would come back again, but only if I'm planning on going to the library. read more

Tasty and affordable drinks, high quality pastries , and many other snacks. Baristas always friendly and helpful. Convenient location in the library. Try their dirty chai and the almond croissant ! read more

Positives: Great service If you are student, they carry all the test taking supplies that you need, Scantrons, bluebooks, etc. Iced Americano is great! Negatives: Long wait at times read more

It used to be a staple because it was the only place place to get good tea and coffee on campus. But now UCSD decided to make them provide the same garbage they provide at all of the cafes around campus. The whole vibe has changed. I would give it 0/5 if I could. read more

They changed their legendary mocha recipe and now it's garbage. It's literally so petty but I can't get over it.

Audrey's used to be a great place for me. It seems there might be a change in ownership at Audrey's, and the new manager's demeanor appears to be less accommodating. There have been instances of perceived rudeness and aggressiveness, and some find the pricing, particularly the 50 cents for a cup of hot tea, a bit steep. While recognizing the costs involved, it's suggested that maintaining a student-friendly atmosphere is important for the well-being of everyone in the community. read more

If you're already in the library, Audrey's is a decent option. The have a fun variety of drinks, from lavender lemonade to cheesecake americano. Last time I went, I ordered a mocha, I tasted more like hot chocolate and was a tad too sweet. My friends swears by their cheesecake americano; I haven't tried it because they're usually out of cheese, but I'm intrigued. It usually takes them 15 minutes to prepare a drink, whether they have no other customers or they have a long line. I'd go to Audreys more often if they were faster and/or less expensive, but for now they will suffice for my late night coffee fixes. read more

It's finally open today! Right before the quarter I graduate. After the opening of Starbucks on campus, Audrey's cafe became the next one. If I remembered it correctly, this Cafe is built because of the $3 million gift made by Audrey Geisel last year. The operating hours vary from week 1-10 to finals week. This cafe is located in the north end of the building's most heavily used study area. I think for now Audrey's will open daily from 7:30am-10pm from Monday to Thursday, and slightly shorter hours on the weekends! Drinks: Espresso Beverages, Lattes and Mochas, Coffee, Iced Drinks, Coffee Free Drinks, Blended Beverages and Bottled Beverages. Food: Packaged Foods and Bread & Cie Pastries! Keep up the good work Tritons! read more

Audrey's Cafe - Grand opening 05/03/16 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

A really convenient place to get snacks and drinks while you study. I mostly go here for the baked goods, I recommend the pumpkin bread and chocolate croissant. Compared to Starbucks, the baked goods are cheaper and I personally like the pumpkin bread here better. The mocha is also really tasty and helps me get through the day when I'm tired. The only other drink I've tried is the black tea lemonade but I'm pretty sure I was served straight up just black tea, so I don't think I'm going to be ordering that again. read more

Nice little cafe at UCSD. Has ample snacks, sandwiches, and pastries- perfect for grabbing something while you're studying. Their second-day pastries are always 50% off which is awesome. The drink menus is comparable to something like starbucks, just slightly shorter. They also have a lot of tea options and sell red bull and sodas. Great option for if you are studying in Geisel, wouldn't come here specially for the shop though! read more

I had a great deal today on holiday. It made my day. I ordered a cold brew with an everything bagel with only 3.75 bucks. The cold brew is my favorite and they added free syrup for me If you like it creamy, the counter also has free half and half. It is Convenient definitely. It only took me less than ten mins to go downstairs, get a coffee and snacks, and go back to study read more

Audrey's is a more-or-less solid coffee spot that occupies a coveted spot in Geisel where sleep-deprived, stressed out students can get their caffeine fix. Most of the time I find what they make better than Starbucks and the prices are either similar or more economical (not to mention the line is so much shorter than the Starbucks at PC). Some of my favorite drinks from here are their butterbeer latte, inspired by Harry Potter and reminiscent to me of a molten cinnabon, as well as their cappuccino and British rose (an Earl Grey latte with a dash of rose flavor). read more

4/5= basically the same drinks and quality as all the other markets on campus. Food: 4/5 Like I said earlier, same as all the other markets/ coffee shops on campus. Not too many options, but not too bad. They have coffees, teas, blended drinks, breads, sandwiches, cookies, and power bars. If you get the matcha blended drink ( my fave) make sure you ask for extra matcha! Otherwise it's too weak. I also got the blueberry banana bread and it was really soft and moist (lol moist). Location: 5/5 FINALLY a coffee shop in Geisel for us caffeine dependent students. Besides for studying, this is AN AWESOME PLACE FOR POKÉMON GO. It's right in the middle of three pokèstops that alwaysssss have lures. Wifi: 3/5 We all know Geisel wifi sucks, especially during finals Vibe: 3/5 Study vibe (of course) in the area. There are plenty of comfy couches around the cafe, but the tables can get super gross and messy since there are only about 2 people working at a time. The paint is UGLY AF (Sky blue and yellow...?), but at least they try to be cheerful. read more

Got a plain latte, as it's how I judge a shop's ability to pull a good shot and produce nice foam. It was okay. beans were ground too fine, felt like shot extraction could have been better. It may also be the an issue of barista experience.. Also, shot didn't have much of a presence in the drink as a whole. Milk was subpar. Almost no foam at all, the milk was only steamed to make it hot, but not stretched to give it smoothness, more like a flat white, or given the shot's masking, almost a cafe au lait. Overall, I'd get coffee here because it's convenient (don't have to leave the library), but more out of necessity rather than taste. read more

Audrey's Cafe - a sketch of the interior - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

This is a convenient spot for getting food or drinks when you don't want to leave the library. It's not the absolute best, but you're going here for the convenience factor. I prefer their blended coffee to Starbucks and that's my favorite cold drink so far. Their (hot) chai lattes are a little bit on the sweet side for me (Art of Espresso is my go-to for that). When you order hot teas, they steep them for you so it's a bit of a longer wait than you would normally expect. As a lactose-intolerant person, I do appreciate that they stock almond, soy, and macadamia milks which is a nice touch. My biggest qualm is that I wish they were open more hours because they're not always open when the library is open (for summer I think it's 10am-6pm for Audrey's while the library itself opens at 7:30am and closes at 10pm). The ones on Yelp aren't right (at least for summer session) so be sure to check the library website. It can be disappointing to walk over just to see that they're closed. read more

I love the pastries options. Great service. Hard working manager Cute look Hemp milk option Good retail options read more

Cafe to get you through the day.. or night, but not where I would think of wanting to get coffee.

Great coffee place! Hazelnut iced lattes are bomb there! I strongly recommend their iced coffee.

Their cold brew coffee tastes like water. I could not even detect a hint of coffee. Seriously overpriced for such low quality

While the drinks taste good, some of the specials can be quite overpriced. There is also usually quite a long waiting time to receive your order regardless of how crowded it is. Overall, not my go to, but it is conveniently located and taste wise their drinks are pretty great. read more

Place is convenient, coffee is just okay. Not a good time to go during summer vacations because the staffs were more into chatting than making coffee. read more

Everything on the menu was better than I expected. Only thing is, it is a little pricey. I really like the lavendar lemonade but it costs $4 and it looked really easy to make too. The pastries are very good thoughh. My favorite is probably the pumpkin spice bread~ it's easy access location is very convenient but also makes me spend a lott of money there read more

Great place for late night coffee for students. Cold Brew is great. Glad this place opened, friendly baristas.

Best espresso drinks on campus. Friendly student workers, fast service, excellent options (how often do you see macadamia nut milk?!). Great location for studying/working. read more

While the drinks are tasty I could have sworn that my gingerbread white mocha had no caffeine . Had to go to a different place on campus and get a black coffee right after. While the drinks taste good , not worth upwards on four to five dollars . Also , some of the workers are definitely friendlier than others. read more
