    Found this cafe on IG, located in Little Italy. Decided on giving this place a try with my hubby. We were lucky and found street parking. Such a cute little spot. We were greeted right away. Staff was very friendly. What we ordered: * Turkey Egg, & Cheese Croissant - Shared * Banana Pie Latte - Me * Peach Matcha - Hubby Everything we had was very tasty. Especially the breakfast sandwich. The croissant was so buttery & flaky. My beverage was nice. However, I was a little bummed that it didn't look like the pictures on IG. I look forward to visiting again to try some other menu items.

    Very New York appeal. In my opinion.

    This place is a hidden gem among the many spots in Little Italy. Another IG find the service was great very friendly. Wife and I got our his and hers as I love trying the different variety of matcha options, she likes the Banana lattes. She was disappointed it was not like the picture on IG. Food we tried there turkey and egg croissant. Light and fluffy very tasty even with a dab of Mike's Mayo. The vibe was amazing downtown coffee shop feel with seating inside and out. They have a World cup drink menu as well as Summer menu. Definitely want to return and try a few that caught my eye. I am also very eager to come try there omelettes that looked so tasty . So I recommend this place for on the go or popping in before a flight.

    A cute coffee shop with many themed options! Super friendly barista and quick service. A solid choice if you're walking through Little Italy

    After an underwhelming coffee experience at Little Italy, I decided to walk a bit farther and discovered this charming, tiny cafe that offers a variety of coffee, teas, and paninis. Vibe: The decor is minimalist, but given the small space, they have a lot to offer. It's clean, cozy, and features limited indoor and outdoor seating. Service: The staff is polite and quick. By the time I arrived, the cafe was starting to get busy, but that didn't affect the service at all. Sips: They serve regular lattes as well as Turkish coffee and cold brew. I enjoyed a hot toffee latte, while my husband ordered a pistachio latte. The coffee was perfectly hot, and the first thing I noticed was the large portion size; their cups are bigger than standard, and the prices are very reasonable for that amount. My toffee latte had delicious toffee syrup that didn't taste artificial or overly sweet. My husband's pistachio latte didn't contain actual pistachios, but the syrup tasted surprisingly good, much better than some of the artificial nut syrups I've tried elsewhere. This cafe feels pleasantly low-key. Considering how good it is, it's definitely a hidden gem!

    To go meal! So kind

    What a great cafe. While I haven't been physically there, we ordered delivery from them for lunch on a friends wedding day while we were getting ready in her hotel. They included sweet notes wishing her a good day as well as a free pistachio muffin that was incredible!!!! The Cobb salad with ranch was great, and everyone enjoyed their food as well. Little things like sweet notes and a free treat are so appreciated, lovely, and reflect a great staff. Definitely makes me want to come back & support this place even more!

    The Delicious Pastries

    Did I just stumble upon a delicious cafe WITH wonderful customer service? That's become such a rarity these days, it's heartbreaking. I've passed by this place many times and always thought, one day I's try this cute place and today was the day. It's a quaint charming coffee shop with minimal indoor and outdoor seating but an absolutely plentiful menu. Immediately after walking in, I was greeted so warmly by the woman at the register who was more than happy to help when I asked her whether to order one drink over the other. I ended up getting the salted caramel macchiato and the chocolate croissant and I have no regrets. Everything was flavorful and high quality. There's this notion in my culture that when you're in good spirits, whatever you cook turns out delicious, and I think that's the vibe here. The staff all seemed not only cheerful but on good terms with each other, and it makes the ambience so much better. Will definitely be returning here whenever I need a break from homemade lattes.

    I work nearby and intentionally choose to support local businesses over chains like Starbucks. However, my recent experiences make that hard to justify. Today, I spent $15+ on a drink and a bagel that was rock solid. The staff cut the bagel in half, so they must have felt it was stale but served it anyway. The drink was great! This follows several sandwiches that were 80% bread, 20% toppings and generally lacked freshness so I stopped buying them. I want to continue supporting local, but at a $15 price point, the quality needs to be reliable. When a staff member serves something they know isn't fresh, it undermines the trust I have in your shop.

    Acai Bowl 16 oz

    The açaí bowl is drowning in honey, I can't taste anything else. They should have put it on the side or not at all. Tastes like I'm drinking straight from a honey jar. Yuck. It's too sweet I can't finish it. Also their vanilla chai latte does not taste good. Tastes like a watered down powder.

    Needed something light before heading to the cruise terminal. They offer a good variety of options for breakfast (and lunch) prices are reasonable.

    Cute and quick little place for coffee and breakfast before heading out for the day. Breakfast was simple but good. Sweet girls working the front.

    I really want to like this place since I live a few blocks away but my first two experiences here have not been the best. firstly the sandwiches are ok the bread is too thick and it can make the sandwiches really dry. on my second visit today i ordered an acai bowl and it was legit 75 percent sherbet and 25 percent everything else. if you're going to charge little italy prices at least make it worth it. just disappointing overall. I hope the owner reads this and makes slight changes

    Turkish Coffee
    Mac B.

    Capri Cafe is a great casual spot right off the main drag of Little Italy. The cold brew and Turkish Coffee were both tasty and so was the quiche and sandwich. If you're looking for a late morning stop and are in Little Italy you should consider giving Capri Cafe a try.

    The Capri sandwich is fire! The bread is soft and the pesto is flavorful. And the baklava is just right.

    Not good coffee, too sweet but large portion. Pastry was okay. Decent amount of seating, good for studying and to sit but not much else.

    **July 2026: Sunday Afternoon Visit**…read more After an amazing (but exhausting) weekend at San Diego Comic-Con, my body was seriously craving something refreshing and nutritious. I had walked past Vitality Tap several times since it's conveniently located near my hotel, and on my last day I finally decided to stop in and I'm so glad I did. The space is a cool mix of a vitamin/supplement shop and a health focused drink and café spot. For a Sunday afternoon, it was surprisingly busy, with staff hustling to make drinks and açaí bowls. Despite the crowd, everything looked well-organized, and all the customers seemed genuinely happy with their orders. I ordered "The Dragon," which had pitaya, coconut water, pineapple, and strawberries. It was incredibly refreshing, which was exactly what I needed after hours of walking in the heat. Light, hydrating, and flavorful without being overly sweet. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area to try their açaí bowls and juices. Great spot for a post adventure reset.

I ordered the Classic without agave since I prefer my açaí on the less sweet side. The fresh mango, blueberries, and coconut flakes complemented it perfectly, creating a delicious balance of flavors.

No chain açaí bowl place has been able to make me feel different. I'm so happy they have been in Hillcrest for so long and continue to provide their services. Some of my fav items are the Liv signature smoothie, the veggie sandwich, and the lentil soup. Even typing makes me want to go get some now. It saddens me to see some weird review complaining about the business when I've come literally over 100 times and have never had a negative experience what so ever. Some of these wannabe "top elites" are getting out of hand. It feels like bullying in the hopes of getting some kind of special treatment. Very weird behavior, I hope they stay far away so the rest of the customers/community can enjoy the shop because it's a gift to the block.

    I only came here a handful of times before my last experience completely turned me off from ever…read morecoming back. I placed an order ahead of time and showed up about 25 minutes later thinking it would be ready. When I checked in, a younger employee told me it would be another 10 minutes. Annoying, but okay. The parking situation around here is already a nightmare, so I really wasn't thrilled about having to stand around waiting even longer. Well, those 10 minutes turned into 25. During that time, I watched multiple people walk in, place orders after I had already checked in, and receive their food before me. The crazy part? It wasn't even busy. There was no line out the door, no rush, no obvious reason for such a ridiculous delay. After waiting long enough, I finally went up to an older gentleman working there (I'm assuming the owner) and politely explained that I had been waiting a very long time and was confused why people ordering after me were getting their food first. Instead of apologizing or even acknowledging the mistake, he was rude, dismissive, and acted like I was inconveniencing him for asking about an order that should have been ready ages ago. Then, after another 10 minutes, my bowls were finally ready. In total, I waited about 35 minutes after checking in for pickup. To top it all off, the older gentleman practically shoved the bowls at me without so much as a "sorry for the wait." Look, delays happen. Mistakes happen. What bothered me was the complete lack of communication, accountability, and basic customer service. If you're running behind, just be honest about it. Don't tell someone 10 minutes when it's really going to be over half an hour. The açaí is good, but not nearly good enough to make up for being treated like an annoyance. There are plenty of other places in San Diego serving great bowls without the attitude.
