    I was curious and wanted to try a Boba Place. I have never tasted one of those Boba drinks with the tapioca balls & thought why not today? So I saw the Cafe Bien and it looked exotic. I walked up to the front door and was ready to go in and and see what all this Boba business is all about. But I stopped in my tracks. What held me up me was the over-whelming smell of tobacco coming from INSIDE the restaurant. It seemed groups of Vietnamese men were gathered around hanging out. But the stench of ciggies in an enclosed space was pretty bad. I had a deja vu of walking through some Vegas or Laughlin casino full of gambling smokers! Looks like I will have to Boba another Boba..

    Service was amazing!!! The friendliest baristas! The coffee was soooo yum!! Vibes are greatread more

    I stopped by Torque Coffee to pick up espresso beans for my husband after reading so many good…read morethings on Reddit about their customer service and espresso. From the moment I walked in, two people greeted me right away and made the shop feel super welcoming. The space itself is really cute, with a relaxed vibe and a few tables where people were working on laptops. I actually don't drink coffee (I'm caffeine sensitive haha), so I told the barista I had no idea what to pick for my husband. They have really well-stocked shelves with beans roasted in house, and you can tell they genuinely take pride in what they do. The packaging is beautiful, and each bag has a card explaining the flavor notes and where the beans come from. After I mentioned a few coffees my husband has liked before, the barista recommended the Dark Drop beans. He was so kind, patient, and helpful -- especially to someone completely clueless about coffee. While I was there, he also made me an oat milk matcha with honey, and it was really good. Smooth and creamy. My husband had been gone for work for a month, so I wanted to surprise him with fresh beans when he got home. He absolutely loved them and said the espresso was balanced, bold, and incredibly fresh. We'll definitely be back to try more beans, and I'll absolutely be returning for another matcha. Thanks again for the great customer service and welcoming atmosphere!

I do videos specifically about the best coffee items in San Diego, not coffee shops as a whole. and as of right now the only item I can confidently recommend here is the choco caramel sea salt latte. that said, I haven't tried the iced mexican mocha yet which apparently is the move. so maybe I just ordered wrong. coming back to try that before I make my final call. The positive review had me expecting more but maybe I just haven't found my order yet ‍

The decor is fun and takes me back to my childhood with the skateboarding decks and overall vibe. The only reason for 4 stars is the parking situation around the area; it's scarce at times, so it usually involves a walk. Still, the neighborhood is young and fun and I would definitely revisit this place even with the parking limitations. Thank you PCRC!
