Don't fault me bc I like to start my morning off with a mocha. They make a man's mocha here. A mocha so strong, your pee will smell like coffee. For REALZ, yo. read more

I love getting my morning coffee at this place on my day off. Everybody who works here has great smile and in good mood especially Valeria! Thanks for making my day every time I stop by to get my coffee :-) read more

Probably one of the worst mex mocha i have ever tasted. It was the end of the day, maybe ran out of espresso. Not sure what I drank. Hot watered down espresso is the worst!! $4 for a gross mex mocha, so dissapointed! read more

One of my favorite quick coffee spots in OB! Great service and great drinks! And their acai bowls are soooooo good! A+++++

I'll miss my favorite morning stop. There's no better cafe in SD, and the service will leave you with a smile on your face and genuinely happier. I love Cafe Bella! read more

Super friendly girls working there. It's a drive thru. Their coffee is really good and have plenty of other options like acai bowls. And there is a liquor and sandwich shop inside. What else could you need? Anytime I stop by in ob I gotta go stop by and get something. Very convenient and fast service. read more

I live a block from this fine coffee cart and go out of my way to walk by it on my way to the bus twice a week before class, and even at 6:45 AM the girl is out there in the cold, smiling, and asking why I'm up so early! All the employees are polite, and even when they are super rushed (which is a lot because a bellacino is pure heaven) they don't make me feel rushed or like i'm an inconvenience. And have you tried the muffins? So damn good! Don't get the bran one though haha read more

I love that i can walk to this place from my apartment! The service here is excellent and the ladies are very friendly. The selection is great and they have a few seats right next to it to hang out for a bit. They do have drive-thru available or you can walk right up and order. They serve coffee, tea, pastries, and acai bowls. read more

Love coming here, they have the best Acai Bowls and Chai Tea! The girls are always nice and happy to be at work. It's always been a wonderful experience they take your order and it's out very quickly. read more

Super friendly and attentive women working there. IT can be walk-up or even drive through, which makes the morning snack/tea/coffee run fast and easy. My fave is that they have Acai Bowls. They are tasty and healthy and HUGE! They always have some nice music playing, are incredibly nice, and have a variety of offereings. Cash only, which should not be surprising for a drive up coffee stand....but something to keep in mind. I will be back many many more times. read more

So much yes!!! Nice people, great coffee, and right by the beach!! Owner is soooo cool! I cannot even begin to say how happy this place made this coffee snob! read more

Came here to try their acai bowls. Ended up getting 2 small (16 oz) acai bowls @ $4.99 each and a med iced hazelnut coffee. Super friendly & happy baristas. Will def come back. Note: cash only read more

Went here a few weeks back to check out their coffee drinks. It's basically an outdoor cart/cafe and you can't miss it. My fiance and I both got the hot Mexican mocha and it was good! We would definitely go back when we're in the area again. read more

It really doesnt get better than Cafe bella! I live near OB but I am always willing to drive a little further to go to Bella because their coffee is just so much better than anywhere else. My girlfriend loves the acai bowls so its an easy 2 for 1 stop! Highly recommend! read more

They're coffee is phenomenal. I look forward to starting my day grabbing a cappuccino, espresso or a cold brew. The girls that work here are so incredibly kind and really know the meaning of hospitality and customers come first. I just moved out to OB from NJ and I was nervous that I wouldn't find my coffee fix out here but I did!! What's even more wild is that they always remember my order even though they have thousands of people trickle through their coffee stand. Also having a drive through is a plus especially when I'm in a rush. Thanks for always kick starting my day right!! read more

I stop by Cafe Bella at least twice a week. The girls are great and they always start making my latte the second they see me pull in. My dog loves them too! Very reasonable prices and great coffee. An OB gem! read more

We come here whenever we can. This place is very convenient for us and on my way to work. The ladies are friendly and we've never had to wait long for our coffees. They've even made good alternative suggestions for my fiance, who likes new things. I love getting my bagels here because they are never stingy with the cream cheese--I love cream cheese!! Thanks, ladies! read more

I'm not a real coffee drinker but I enjoy a sugary caffeine beverage sometimes. At Cafe Bella I always go for a chai latte. They have multiple flavors, vanilla, raspberry, chocolate, etc. and each one is SO good. I would pick their chai over anyone else in SD. I only wish they had a storefront so I could pick them as my coffee shop when I need to work. The girls are always so sweet and friendly. So worth a stop!! read more

This place has delicious food, but the service is so slow. I've been here multiple times and it's always the same experience. The staff is friendly, but absent. I work in the industry so I understand the stress of an unexpected rush, but it appears to be a consistent issue. Unless you have two hours for dinner, look elsewhere. read more

This place is awesome! Nice neighborhood coffee boutique with a drive thru. I come here at least once a week and grab a coffee and a healthy pitaya bowl for breakfast. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. Thanks Val, Nicole, and Kelly ;) read more

Cafe Bella is our favorite place to get coffee! It's a real treat! The girls are pretty and always fun! I love the pumpkin pie latte and my boyfriend loves his ice coffee! read more

After a good morning hike on the cliffs, I head to the drive thru of Cafe Bella! I love the friendly staff, acai bowl and drip coffee! Its is the best coffee! I wish I could brew some at home. FYI It is cash only. read more

I love coming here on the weekends after hitting dog beach, service is always top notch. Micky and Nicole are usually working when I come here and always make me smile and laugh while making me my coffees, and pamper my pup with dog treats. You can't ask for better service. Definitely a place to make time to stop by and check out if you're in the area. read more

Okay my first review did NOT give them enough props. This place is awesome. The baristas seem cool... All of them. Like you want to be friends. They are so nice as well. The acai is bomb, it is a big game changer. Thanks G it's only $7! They make a pretty good chia tea latte too. Affordable neighborhood coffee shop. Will continue to go to cafe Bella as long as its near dog beach and they keep pumping out those amazing acai bowls! read more

I'm sorry to say but worst acai bowl I've ever had. I was so disappointed. It was watery, not even frozen. The acai bowl also did not even taste like acai, more like a berry smoothie. I ordered peanut butter and for $1 there was barely even a drizzle. Very disappointing. Don't know how an Acai bowl could be any worse. read more

My husband works in the area and recommended this place for açaí bowls. I love that it is drive up service. This is so helpful for a busy mom with little ones and doggies on their way to the beach. The bowls were just the right size and delicious! I had the ocean beach bowl which is dragon fruit and covered in mangos!!! My daughter had a classic açaí bowl which was equally delish. I thought the price was affordable, the service friendly, and a treat we will make a tradition of getting on the way to dog beach. read more

Amazing food and beverages. The people who work there are always friendly. I always get the açaí bowl. 16 ounces for $6 not too bad. Everything has always been on point there. They even have a drive thru. Highly recommend this place. Super chill and they now accept credit cards! read more

Best acai bowls around ! Service is friendly,everything they sell is good quality,fair prices and the girls that work there are so pretty it's worth it for the sight alone ! read more

Really great coffee and good pricing. The people that work there are cute.

I love love love this place! All the girls that work here are SO great!! Always smiling and happy to serve you the best coffee in town! And don't forget about how AMAZING their acai bowl is for only 4.99 it's the BEST acai bowl in town!! read more

It's a walk up joint in Ocean Beach. Nice selection of drip coffee. Good latte. On it staff. Very good spot for coffee.

I keep coming back to this place because of the service. Everyone who works there is excellent, genuinely warm and friendly. Val is the standout and has such a great energy with everyone who comes up to that cart. read more

people working are nice, the do make the BEST ACAI BOWLS IN OCEAN BEACH!! period, try and show me a better one, i dare you. the smoothie shop on Newport is too cheap, half the size and not as good. you have to get the ACAI BOWL , best way to start the day. read more

Stayed at a beach condo in OB, equidistant to Starbucks and Cafe Bella. I do love Starbucks, but Cafe Bella had the better tasting coffee and eats, and definitely friendlier service. They are deserving of your business. read more

Cafe Bella is like home! I drive up and my coffee is ready without even having to order. Best iced coffee in town with best baristas. Great place to get the local scoop of what's happening in OB. read more

Little walk up cafe with Deli parking lot and drive thru option available. Got the OB Pitaya and Acai bowl and it was delicious. The price and the service was great! Really enjoyed it read more

First time ordering here, I'm not a coffee drinking but I was having pregnancy cravings, services was super friendly fast and very helpful service since I didn't know how to even order coffee too many choices I ended up with an iced coffee decaf with hazelnut it's BOMB I've had one from Starbucks before and this was delicious read more

I love this place. I have been coming here for years. While there may be better quality coffee in town, it is still really good and the girls are amazing. Nicole and Micki always know what I want. They are fast, efficient and are ALWAYS smiling and joking around. The staff always go above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable. If it weren't for them, I'd go elsewhere. Good coffee + good vibes = happy customers. read more

Cute open air shop! HUGE acai bowl for 7$!!! Amazing value and delicious! Generous topping of fruit/granola- really friendly staff and cold brew was tasty!!! Also the convenience of drive thru priceless!! Will be back...frequently! read more

By far my favorite coffee stop in OB, love walking here in the morning or driving through on my way to work. The girls are always super attentive, fast and really really sweet. Definitely above average customer service. The acai bowls are just kinda meh but absolutely nothing to complain about. Drinks always taste amazing and they always offer puppy treats :) thanks Bella's! read more
