    I stopped into this location while visiting family from out of town and was pleasantly surprised. The decor is bright and welcoming and there's cute merch to browse while you wait. All of the pastries looked very appetizing but I chose the almond butter and jam toast and am so glad I did. I was blown away by the flavors on such a simple item. The whole thing was insanely good and I had to go back the next day for another helping. Service was quick and employees were friendly though they did forget the cold foam twice in a row on my drink order but happily remade them when I pointed it out.

    lavender matcha and hazelnut divinity with oat milk

    Arold is the best!!!! i came into the cafe and there was a bit of a line but i didn't have to wait long at all! he was very kind and patient with the group in front of me, offered suggestions for food and drinks, and was very efficient and quick but not rushed. then he took my order, asked if i wanted any extra shots or alternative milk, and my order was ready within 5 minutes. a great spot to hang out. ample seating available -- indoor and outdoor. 10/10 recommend the deluxe açaí bowl. and the hazelnut divinity! (i get mine iced with an extra shot and oat milk)

    This place is always steeped in chaos. A dozen people working but somehow nobody at the counter and nothing is ready on time. I preordered online and came 15 minutes after my pickup time. My drink wasn't ready. I had to wave someone down because nobody was running the counter to ask about my drink. Not only had they not started it, they didn't even know about the order because it was inexplicably noted on a laptop that they had to retrieve from the back. Despite coming 15 minutes after my pickup, I waited an extra 20 minutes for my drink that they lost. Icing on the scone is: this isn't the first time the at this has happened to me at this location.

    I'm visiting from out of state & my niece took me here because she really loves the matcha drink which she completely gulps down from the time we walk back to the car and I'm buckling up to go! I really liked the wall art and cool cafe set up. They had a nice pastry display case and the employee at the register was super friendly in helping me pick out a drink. I got a seasonal iced drink called coconut matcha with perfectly balanced sweet coconut and matcha flavors. I'm not a big matcha fan but I really enjoyed this combo. It almost reminded me of subtle pandan flavor. If I get come back, I would definitely try other menu items!

    A frequent stop for us whenever we travel around SD/Escondido area. This location can get very busy and chaotic that we always opt to park and order instead of the drive-thru. The staff are very nice, so it's worth the store visit. Hazelnut Divinity by ordering it at 50% sweetness level since it can get pretty sweet. I also tried the Vanilla Bean Latte at 50% sweetness, but it was bland and milky. Maybe add a shot or just order HD. Still my favorite coffee go-to when in the area.

    Iced Best Drink Ever

    One of my favorite locations! Love the design of the cafe, the drive-thru and ordering inside or through the mobile app, and such friendly and personable staff. We always feel welcomed when coming into the cafe. I also love all of the indoor and outdoor seating. They have a lot of seating compared to most other north county BB locations. My husband and I recently went in and easily ordered our drinks and food. They gave me my pistachio croissant right away and my husband's ham and cheese croissant sandwich came out quickly. His iced best drink ever came out way before my iced horchata latte (like a 10 minute difference) but it didn't matter since we were enjoying our food. Even though I did have to wait longer for my drink, it was made perfectly. I wish all locations could master the iced horchata latte like they do here. Again just great vibes at this location always!

    Feta Feta-Avocado Toast

    When will I learn my lesson about ordering food from this place? The drinks are fine, but the food is always a huge disappointment. I ordered their feta-avocado deluxe toast which is supposed to include balsamic drizzle, microgreens, lemon, avocado, feta and tomato. They gave me a dry piece of cold, untoasted bread with the thinnest layer of avocado, no balsamic, no greens, no seasoning. What a freaking rip off. Every single time at this place. Default tip screen starts at 25% in the drive thru and then terrible service.

    I just came back from a medical missions trip to Mexico and I just wanted a cup of coffee and a treat. Barista, Pedro, was energetic and friendly. He remembered to take my phone number to collect the points when he took my order. Once I got to the window I got my drink from a very energetic Pedro! Tasting the drink I soon learned that barista, Lance took great care to give a delicious treat. Thank you guys for making my experience awesome. Plus, I loved my pumpkin loaf slice. Happy Thanksgiving!

Not sure what happened late yesterday with the sandwiches. They were soaking wet on the bottom of each one. Even the one without lettuce and tomato. I believe they add dressing to their sandwiches but it's never been an issue. Each sandwich also didn't have the requested extra mayo (maybe they put extra dressing instead?). I called today to ask if there were any issues with other sandwiches and the manager said no. He said i should have ordered the sandwiches with dressing on the side next time and he couldn't offer to remake them for a future visit (we live 30 min away so it's a far drive). So there's two 12inch uneaten sandwiches oh well. We've ordered many times from them and the staff has always been amazing. Maybe it was placing the order late in day on Easter Sunday but bummer the manager today was dismissive and put blame on us.

I am all about conveinceThe app is awesome too because there are always deals and specials, and being able to order ahead makes everything quick and easy. I really like their Italian sandwiches, and the fact that you can customize them exactly how you want is a big plus. And I love that they have sliced cucumber, it makes the sandwiches even better. The restaurant is always clean, and there's a good amount of seating available, which is nice if you want to eat there. The staff are always friendly too and happy to offer recommendations if you have questions. Leave room for sides like chips, pickles, and cookies...hard to pick just one.

When I opened the package I had first thought they got the order wrong and gave me a vegetarian because I saw no meat. I had to open the sandwich and dig through to find the one lame piece of turkey (I didn't check but I hoped the other side of the sandwich had one too). I could barely tell there was cheese on it as the cheese was melted to the turkey which is ok, but I should have to dig that much to check for cheese, also, the avocado is a "spread", not real avocado, I mean, even SUBWAY uses REAL AVOCADOS. The last time I had jimmy johns was when I lived in Oregon 12 years ago, and that sandwich was awesome. Times have changed man and maybe even because it's SoCal, which has made JJs a HUGE disappointment. Also from viewing other reviews, some people agreed about the weakness of amount of meat. On the flip side many people like their sandwiches which must be people that just like to go along with the Joneses or haven't ever had a REAL sandwich. One person even commented that they like the large amount of lettuce in the sandwich?...........LETTUCE??????? Stupid girl, people don't pay for the lettuce, they pay for the good stuff in their sandwich like meat and cheese. The #9 is not worth the $12 it's priced at...for one (or two) pieces of turkey and some diluted-down avocado? NOPE, NO WAY!!! It also appears as they're discouraging eating-in because from picture of the place, they used to have two four-chaired tables and now there's a big open space in the middle of the store with just two small booths and three seats along the window where the plate that covers the pole on the ground, is not screwed in so every time your foot hits it, the metal clanks and makes a loud noise in the place. The area to grab packaged condiments, utensils, napkins, straws, etc., is to the side and kinda behind the register. Like you have to walk right next to the ordering area to grab any, put that stuff where people can grab it and not make it feel like you're taking something you shouldn't be. It's just in a really odd place but it's probably because they want to regulate the amount taken (the condiments and utensils maybe I could see, but with those messy sandwiches, you REALLY need A LOT of napkins.). Are napkins really that much of a cost for your business? Anyways, they didn't have too many people working there but if they had a crowd or large order, they'd probably get so stressed. I think it's because businesses in Cali have to pay that minimum wage of like $20 for restaurants or drive thrus (I'm not sure if it's just one or both), so they adjust everything to where they don't have to hire that many people. If people just get it to go, that's less employees that have to cleanup and restock everything that's in the building. The way these franchises cut costs now, is sad. But anyways if you like or LOVE thin sandwiches lacking the amount of meat and cheese that is appropriate for a decent sandwich, keep going here. For everyone else who is wise with their money, spend it somewhere else!
