I always get the Colombiano iced coffee -- hands down one of the BEST iced Colombian coffees I've ever had in the city. So smooth, rich, and perfectly made every single time. I also tried the concha bread, and wow... it was so soft, fresh, and absolutely perfect. I highly recommend getting it! If you're looking for amazing coffee, delicious pastries, and a place that stays consistently great, Cafeina Café is the spot. 10/10!

I was disappointed to see they discontinued the rose latte, but the honey lavender they now offer is an absolute delicious replacement.

The eclectic art and decor pays homage to Mexican-American culture and provides a warm, colorful atmosphere. Pros: tasty coffee, fair pricing, friendly customer service, welcoming atmosphere Cons: limited parking, limited sizing options All in all I was very happy with my experience at De Corazon (even went back the next day!) and pleasantly surprised to see that they partner with Burritos De Tu Madre -- which offer tasty pre-made mini burritos to accompany your cafecito.

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.

They have lots of seating inside and are pet friendly. Their small drinks have 2 shots and large have 3 shots of espresso. It's nice to see a shop give another shot in the larger size and not just add more milk! Tried: Coconut latte - had a weird after taste. Coconut flavor was okay. Aloha latte - also had a weird after taste that was much more pronounced. Could taste the syrup but I'm not sure if it was the coffee beans but the aftertaste was really bad on both drinks. I read another review about the espresso being burnt and I wonder if that is what happened. I've never experienced that at any other coffee shop so I am really not sure why two different drinks tasted so off.
