My new weekend coffee spot! I'm always on the hunt for great coffee. I also realized that we like what we like, and the beans make all the difference. BC roasts their beans and, to my taste, are delicious. We also got a proper espresso macchiato, and they made it correctly. For my daughter, a Vietnamese coffee, which I tasted, and it was perfect. The food is delicious. We tried the salmon bagel and flatbread. Both were delicious, and the flatbreativjt edged out today because it had nice crispy edges. The location is an older, smaller shopping center, which I like, and I like that they have outdoor seating for the dogs--nothing like a great sunny spot on a Saturday. We also just found out they have music sometimes Sat @ 3:00, and how fantastic to sit and listen to a bit of jazz. I'll take Inside photos next because it's excellent, and has great photography hanging. Lastly, we've been here twice and everyone working here is really nice. read more

Had a cup of coffee and the vegan chai scone. Coffee was good but wish they had free (or less expensive refills). The team member was great was helping me choose between the pumpkin or chai scone and she helped me choose based on her preference. It was a great choice and delicious! Area the cafe was busy with families, students studying, friends catching up and a good amount of seating to accommodate everyone. Will definitely be back. read more

Super cute coffee spot! Seating available indoors and outdoors. Ample parking. Customer service was just ok. Food was good, coffee was great. My friend ordered some kind of breakfast sandwich. I love seasonal items so I got their pumpkin cinnamon roll and pumpkin scone to go. Both were good and not overly sweet. My friend and I both had the morning maple latte, which she had been raving about for weeks. Oh, they also have really cute stickers of their business logo that I also recommend! read more

Burritos are a little pricey but well worth it. The ingredients are quality and if you dine in, they serve it on a plate with chips. Vanilla latte also delicious. Atmosphere is great, staff is super friendly and welcoming. Definitely found my new go to coffee shop! read more

I was so disappointed in this coffee shop. The place has a great selection of items coffee and food items. I ordered a affogato coffee and a brownie. For $6.00 an espresso shot and vanilla gelato it was garbage and the brownie was stale as hell. The coffee was not anywhere near good. Will not go back. read more

Brew Coffee Spot - Coconut milk latte with sugar free caramel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - La Mesa, California

I was driving LA-SD for a meeting and suddenly became DESPERATE for a second cup of coffee. Siri found this great drive-through. I had planned to eat the standard conference offerings when a breakfast sandwich on brioche with bacon and avocado seduced me :) Impressed by the milk alternatives. read more

Really good coffee and food choices with a nice ambiance. The breakfast sandwich had endless bacon!

It is very nice to find an independent coffee shop with a large, inviting interior and excellent service. One of my sisters lives nearby, and we went to power up for a trip to La Jolla. Along the way, she mentioned their lavender matcha latte, so I had a plan before walking in. Mine was customized with oat milk and hot while she got an iced version with regular milk. My other sister tried a gluten-free muffin and really enjoyed it. Basically, it took the edge off her changing time zones and flying until we scored lunch. All-in-all, if I lived nearby, I'd totally hang out in the pleasant atmosphere to read and write. However, on my next trip to visit the family, I'll swing through for sure. read more

Love the space, much larger inside than you think. There was alot of seating (inside and outside ). My service was friendly and fast! My turkey pesto was yummy and I enjoyed my chai. I will be back to try other items. read more

For the first time here I ordered a breakfast sandwich. Barely any cheese and only one egg. There were no condiments on it so it was dry dry dry. I could barely choke it down. It also cost almost $10! Nope. Never again. When I asked for condiments, the woman making the coffee said they had none because the owners don't like condiments. WTH? The only thing they offered was Tapatio and Cholula. Not ordering food here ever again and may not come back, I'm so bothered. That's just weird and holy crap, expensive! What a rip off! Was there gold somewhere in that sandwich? Not that I could taste. Yuck. read more

We were destined to come here! I love coffee and enjoy trying out new things instead of the typical . The menu options for beverages from coffees to teas is so big it's hard to pick one. The barista suggested I get the Viennese and OMG! It was so delicious. Each sip got me closer to heaven. I paired it with an açaí bowl that was equally delicious and very filling. The cafe is actually very spacious, with a stage, I though... karaoke? WRONG! We got a comedy show! Super awesome! It was great time with lots of giggles and hilarious dad jokes. I loved it. One thing that is definitely to appreciate is that they use real dishes for your food so way less waste going into the environment. They also have organic options which is definitely a plus! As well as dairy free options for your drinks. Totally recommend, even if you don't get a show, it's totally worth coming here, the ambiance is pretty good and the baristas are very nice too! Also, it's not in the heart of La Mesa which makes it better in the sense that there's plenty of parking available making it more accessible as well. I give this an A+ read more

I've been a patron at Brew Coffee Spot for a few years and continue to come back for the many perks of the café. The menu is seasonal and changes every few months. Brew Coffee Spot offers a full coffee bar with a variety of alternative milks for my lactose intolerant girlies, bakery items and light breakfast options, coffee beans, and BCS merchandise. The service is pretty fast and has the option of ordering online through the clover app which is awesome when you're on the go and plan ahead. If you're looking to hang in the café I highly recommend playing one of their board games with some friends but they also have a lot of indoor seating with outlets and outdoor patio seating which is dog-friendly. read more

GRIPES: none! 5 stars!! read more

The coffee, service, and ambiance were all on point during my visit to Brew today. I love visiting lounge-y coffee shops and this one has a great vibe. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Seems great for meeting up with friends and/or studying. Everything felt clean, artsy, and built with the customer in mind. I ordered the Viennese latte. It seemed that someone took my coffee from the pickup bar by mistake as I was standing there for a bit waiting for my drink. The cashier that took my order saw me waiting and quickly had the coffee bar remake my drink -- all before I asked! They even remembered my name for my order! What a great experience here. There were live music events posted. I can't wait to return and check them out! read more

Love the cozy environment and the delicious desserts--especially the pumpkin scone, it's a must-try. The only downside is that the last couple of times my iced coffee has come out a bit too milky and lacking flavor. Could be just bad luck, and I'm not the type to ask for a remake. Hoping for a little more consistency moving forward because I really do enjoy this spot. read more

Brew Coffee Spot is the place to be when you're craving something unique in a cafe Atmosphere that screams "welcome to our home." The menu boasts an impressive amount of uniquely flavored lattes and coffees, with a seasonal rotating menu that is sure to Delight no matter what time of year it may be. There's a lot of seating, but be warned that it fills up very fast because this is definitely one of the more popular coffee shops in La Mesa. Also something worth noting, for folks who get a little sick of whole milk being in everything, this cute coffee shop has a ton of alternative milk options, including some I've never even heard of before! Seriously, pistachio milk? How do you milk a pistachio?! I can't knock on it too hard, because these alternative milks are absolutely delicious and can change the entire consistency and flavor of a drink in really interesting and delightful ways. They've also got a whole bunch of yummy sandwiches, salads, and sweet treats on their menu, and many of them include the gluten-free and dairy-free options for folks with special diets. They also host community events here, like, comedy nights and even a big Street Fair kind of thing. It's a lot of fun and there always seems to be something awesome Happening Here. If you're on the lookout for something new or someplace cozy, then look no further than the Brew Coffee spot. You won't be disappointed! read more

I just moved down the street from this place. They have a good variety of coffee drinks/syrups and those have always been really good. I keep trying different ones with the raspberry white mocha being my favorite. By now I've had a good amount of time to sample a lot of the food. I usually order online and then stop in and pick it up which helps if there happens to be a line. I did eat in one time when there was a comedy show. The acai bowl is awesome! They have a breakfast sandwich with egg and bacon that is good and the bitchin avocado toast is my favorite ! The bacon breakfast burrito I would not order again because I'm not sure if they just sprinkled bacon seasoning in there as it was mostly just potato and I couldn't really even see any bacon. The flatbread pepperoni pizza was not great. Overall, this is a pretty cool spot to have in the neighborhood and I continue to go weekly. read more

First time here? The coffee was not what I ordered. I didn't like the taste and too milky.:-((a splash, not mucho!) The toast was ok, I think it's a bit expensive for what you get. read more

Service is great, I like this place so much ambiance is great food is tasty thank you

Really enjoyed this place! The staff was friendly and helpful. The bagels were delicious- especially the jalapeño cheddar. The blended dirty chai was delicious! Plenty of seating and parking. Enjoyed the low music playing in the background. read more

Great service and ambiance. People are friendly. Plenty of seating. Also board games available to play!

I thought I wrote how I didn't think there was food there. I got food and coffee and it was very good. Service was excellent. I got a pound of coffee and my daughter got coffee also. Nice place inside and outside. read more

I first visited here a couple years ago, and wanted to re-visit for a Saturday brunch around 11am. Walking by, I see a farmer's market they sponsor and a jazz band playing live music right outside the entrance! The vibes were immaculate!! Inside, the shop was poppin. During my visit, so many people came by so I feel like it is a well-loved place! Overall, this is a very vibrant and energetic area. It can be loud but I personally had no problem with it. They have a wall of booths with outlets, which is perfect if you are a laptop user. I personally had difficulty connecting to wifi, just a heads up. The staff was super nice, even with how busy they were. FOOD ORDERD: - vietnamese: this is 4 shots of espresso with condensed milk. If you want that caffeine buzz, get this!! I was seriously buzzing after I drank it. I asked the cashier if it was really sweet, and she said yes, so I asked to get it half sweet and that was the perfect amount of sweetness. I was super impressed with this drink :) - caprese turkey pesto panini: this was a yummy sandwich! It looks small but ended up being perfect for a brunch. Comes with chips on the side which are kinda basic. I do enjoy how many food options they have! Its a perfect one-stop cafe read more

Cute place and the coffee is actually good. My only issue is that everyone who works there looks absolutely miserable. I don't know if they all heard bad news this morning or what, but damn. I did not feel welcome at all. 11:30 9/24/24 read more

I come here twice every week. Due to dietary restrictions, I have been ordering a Sugar-Free caramel macchiato recently. I specifically asked the barista to confirm they were able to make this, and she said yes. But when I placed my usual order today, a different barista informed me that they are unable to make this drink sugar free. Which means that the previous baristas served me a drink containing sugar, without my knowledge! Thankfully it didn't cause me any major issues, but it's scary to think that someone could be served an ingredient they're avoiding, without their knowledge. read more

On a mission to find the best local coffee shops and Brew Coffee is definitely a standout! Came in and got a Vietnamese Iced Coffee - not gonna lie, a little nervous I typically only get these from Asian coffee spots but oh my God whatever espresso they use is delicious! Had to stop myself from chugging my drink and really slow down and enjoy it lol. Tried out their Vegan Chai Scone and I almost ate the whole thing while waiting for my drink it made no sense why it was that good My drink and scone were so good that I want to come back and try everything on the menu. Inside is very spacious, was steadily busy throughout but they've definitely cultivated a community there. Families, college students, folks just getting together, etc. and they have a bunch of little events they host such as an Open Mic Night. Can't wait to be back! read more

We come here on occasion before swim lessons nearby. I like the online ordering option especially since this place can get really busy. The coconut latte was kind of whatever but the brew coffee and cold brew were good. read more

Trying to get away from franchised coffee spots. This is definitely my new go to!! I got the pumpkin chai late and omg this is one of the best coffees I've had in a long time read more

Located in an outdated mall in La Mesa on Lake Murray Blvd., thou you find inside this hopping coffee shop with a. Variety of drinks and food. Tread lightly coming here as I found some factors that made me frown. We came to do work on Friday and the interior was full, so we sat outside for an hour until tables opened up inside. It's not free wifi, when you buy an item save your receipt as the passcode is there. Had hot water and the hot water was served in a Dirty Cup with flakes of ground coffee swimming. Pls pay attention to the food and drinks you serve your customers. The Açaí bowl was Delicious filled with dried shaved coconut and variety of berries, nice presentation. If you come here to study or work. Pls bring noise canceling headphones to focus. The interior is dim, so pay attention to the tables. It's odd when people use your tables to eat, it needs to be cleaned after. Unfortunately, we had to clean our large table filled with food particles and crumbs. The cleanliness can improve. It's a loud cafe because it's cement floors and nothing to absorb the sound, cutely decorated. I'd give it a 5 star for cleanliness of dishes and tables - not the case. Having staff come check the tables cleanliness is a plus. read more

Okay coffee for to-go but not a suggested study spot. Pros: - Plenty of seating (indoor and outdoor) - Outlets on the wall - Very friendly service Cons: - 2HR LIMITED WIFI - Loud music - Workers did not wear masks. Not illegal, but just something to note if you're not yet comfortable with it. read more

I love non chain coffee shops and have been on the hunt for "my place" since moving back to SD in October. I went to Brew Coffee Spot last weekend and it's exactly the vibe I'm looking for. Staff was kind and made a great latte. Upside, it's a 3 minute from my place, so score! read more

Yes pricey, but what coffee shop isn't? They have a variety of drinks and food. I'm glad they gave me an option of plain bagel or jalapeño cheese bagel for my smoked salmon. So flavorful! They have indoor and outdoor seating which means you can bring your fur baby! They even have free dog treats! read more

Great coffee options ! Very spacious inside and outside to hang out or study/work. Not the prettiest but solid coffee shop

I actually love the ambiance of this shop. The coffee is good and the menu is extensive. What drives me nuts is the way they configure their internet. You have to purchase something to get a code for the internet which I have zero problem with but then you are dropped every two hours and have to go back up and buy something. Again, no problem to pay for internet but some option to pay for a longer stint on the internet is imperative for people who want to work or study for more than a few hours. I would like to see this place come up with an alternative that fairly compensated them for someone taking up space but also allowed people to put their heads down and focus for more than two hours. read more

Tried this coffee place for the first time in 2025. It's been around for a while and it's not too far from where I live. Well I was pleasantly surprised! I really enjoyed the flavor of the blended Mocha and Vanilla Coffee as it has a good coffee flavor! I can really taste the coffee! And not bitter and I love how they even use natural honey as one of their many sweetening options. Since I am a cold brew person and I love blending my own cold brew at home, I decided to try their blended cold brew! It's called Blended Brew Brew and my daughter orders the Morning Maple iced Latte. I love the Blended Brew Brew because it's so smooth yet again has a great coffee flavor but not bitter. I don't like watered down coffee nor do I like bitter. It's perfect. And the Morning Latte is amazing as well, not too sweet. I'm all about "NOT TOO SWEET" drinks and coffee and many don't get it right. Usually their coffees are too sweet! When I ordered the blended mocha coffee I would just say "a little less sweetness" and it was perfect. Anyway, this is now our favorite place for coffee. We have not seen a Starbucks for many months! read more
