The two young ladies working were very cool. They offered good conversation and were funny. The coffee was smooth and rich. They use a quality barista blend of oat milk that works very well. This location offers some very nice shaded outside seating. They offer food as well, including breakfast sandwiches, burritos, empanadas, and salads and such. Cool coffee spot at the Conerstone Business Center.

The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the match, I wasn't impressed. Other than the drinks, their food items are pretty good! My favorite is the breakfast egg, cheese, pesto sandwich. The food inventory is pretty small, so I usually go on their restock days, which is Monday and Wednesday. Also they do a fun thing during the holidays where if you donate a toy for kids at the stand then they will give you a free coffee.

The staff is friendly, anything you buy looks gorgeous and the inside is immaculate. Ambience 9/10 Lunar New Year Croissant Described as a croissant filled with sesame and almond paste, this is a good but not great croissant. It has the layers, it has the chew, but it's no better than a croissant you would get at a number of other bakeries in the area. But those other bakeries are charging $4-7 instead of $10! The almond and sesame flavors were both very subtle and make me believe there is just a very minimal amount used in the recipe. Would not recommend even as a chewy over crispy croissant guy. 5/10 Creme brûlée latte Pretty much what I wanted without description. Creamy, noticeable but not overpowering vanilla flavor, and a lovely burnt topping for bitter balance. The coffee still comes through meaning this is a well crafted latte, not a dessert. This one actually comes at a pretty decent price too. 8/10 Yuzu & lime tart Their take on meringue pie is composed of a graham crust, yuzu mousse, and a meringue topper with a circle of lemon curd gel. To my taste, there is too much sweet on this plate, needing some balance of tart. But the textures of each component were on point: fluffy meringue, thick lemon gel, dense crust, and substantial yet airy mousse. Torching the meringue at home added a bitter element which I think made the sweetness more palatable. Would have liked the citrus to be more present. 5/10. All in all I would choose other sweets shops at most shopping centers than return here but for drinks this is a pretty good option.

This little area is most well-known for its floating coffee shop and tranquil outdoor seating. I was under a lot of stress when I visited La Jolla Reserve, I'm so glad I stopped by!

It's in the middle of a business complex, close to off-campus apartments near UCSD (somewhat walkable distance from Regents and Eastgate Mall apartments), but also offers free parking. The coffee shop is closed on weekends, but you can still study there too! Just keep in mind the restrooms are located only within the offices, so there's no public restroom usage then, which can limit how long you might stay on weekends (unless you work in the complex and have restroom access still).

Wow! I recently tried one of the ice blended espressos from Art of Espresso, and it might be my…read morefavorite blended drink ever?!!? I swung by the shop around noon on a weekday and there was almost no line. I ordered and received my order really quickly. I got the spun monkey, which is a blended mocha with a whole banana, and whipped cream on top. From the first sip I knew I would be thinking of this drink for a while. It completely blows Starbucks frapps out of the water! It's incredibly creamy and smooth, with no separation or ice chunks at ALL. I don't think they use ice. Possibly just frozen milk or frozen banana. It's thiccc but not too cold, so it doesn't hurt my teeth. The combination of the coffee, chocolate, and banana feels like a hug in liquid form. How can an ice drink feel so cozy?! I am absolutely flabbergasted by how tasty this drink is, and I will DEFINITELY be back to sample some of the other blended drinks on the menu!

It is tucked inside a business complex and not super obvious at first. You kind of have to go toward the roundabout and it is on the right side. I definitely circled for a second like wait where is this place. Parking is a little iffy too but they do have two designated spots if you can grab one. But once you find it, it is actually such a cute spot. The vibe is really chill, not over the top, just a nice little place to sit and decompress. It feels like a hidden gem which I kind of love. I went on a Wednesday and they had a buy a drink get a pastry free deal which already sold me. And the pastries are actually so good. Like not just cute good, actually good. The empanadas did not disappoint at all. Coffee was solid, everything felt fresh, and the whole place just has a nice calm energy. It is the kind of spot you go to after an appointment or when you just need a minute to yourself. I would definitely come back, now that I actually know where it is. Just be prepared to hunt for it a little the first time and maybe get lucky with parking.

It was a nice day, so we opted for one of the comfy sofas outside. There were tables and chairs, as well as lounge chairs, sofas, and low tables. For active pets, there's a wooden deck play area. For this visit, I ordered the Açaí bowl and a cappuccino. I loved the presentation of my açaí bowl and the assortment of fresh fruits (strawberries, blueberries, and bananas). It also had dried dates, honeycomb, hemp seeds, pistachios, coconut flakes, toasted oats, and cacao nibs. My pup loved the blueberries! The cappuccino was good, but was rather small. My friend ordered the Akuri Wrap, side of sourdough toast, and Desi Chai. She thought the wrap could've used a pinch of salt. The Desi chai was nicely flavored, but was a bit grainy. The sourdough was notably one of the best we've had, and we wondered where these were made. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and look forward to coming back. Service was friendly
