carrot cake latte  plain croissant
Liz G.

Service is fantastic! I had a bunch of questions about the drinks and the cashier who helped me, Victor, was very kind and friendly. Ambiance was also really nice, there's AC, wifi, and plenty of tables to study at as well as wall plugs for charging devices Food: I got the plain croissant and a carrot cake latte, the food was super tasty! the croissant was beautiful and the carrot cake latte tasted like carrot cake!

Coffee N Talk, Broadway location in Downtown San Diego, CA

Coffee N Talk, the location on Broadway Street in downtown San Diego, CA has the best Pistachio Honey Latte hot or cold drink that I've ever had!! This coffee shop has indoor and outdoor seating and it's well-known for its wide selection of specialty drinks, welcoming atmosphere, and ample space for remote work, studying, or catching up with friends. They are open for breakfast/lunch and offer a membership and rewards program where you can earn points and exclusive rewards every time you shop. We had very good friendly service and coffee shop was clean. Check it out when in the area. Happy Yelping :)

This spacious coffee house sits right on Broadway. There is plenty of seating inside and some outdoor patio seating, too. They offer plenty of coffee drinks and food, too. My large cold brew was fine but $7.00 is pricey. I know everything is expensive these days but seven bucks seems a bit too much. Worth a try.

I was staying across the street and saw this place and thought I'd give it a try and was very pleasantly suprised. The inside is an insanely clean shop, with lots of seating inside and out as well as friendly staff. The employees were extremely friendly and had everything out almost instantly. The food and coffee were delicious and piping hot when I got them. Definitely worth trying if you're in the area!

We decided to stop here to get coffee since we were waiting for our tour to start. We ordered the iced Aloha latte. This drink tasted so good, it was perfectly balanced.

Jocelyn and Peter were awesome, coffee was great, great ambiance, great location decent price.

Pistachio honey iced latte and aloha iced latte both with oat milk.

I needed a 2pm pick-me-up and this coffee spot seriously delivered. The two girls working were so kind and welcoming, it made the whole experience even better. The space is huge, super clean, and they've got a big menu with lots of options. Perfect place to hang out or recharge for a bit. We ordered the Aloha iced latte and the pistachio honey latte and OMG... both were just perfect. The Aloha latte was refreshing with tropical notes- smooth, slightly sweet, and super easy to sip. The pistachio honey latte was rich, with that nutty pistachio flavor coming through strong, balanced by a natural honey sweetness. The location is super convenient, right next to the Santa Fe trolley stop and Coaster station, which makes it an easy stop whether you're commuting or just exploring. Definitely coming back!

Aloha latte

I come here every chance that I get to. The drinks are amazing! Pedro and Jessica are the best team. Makes my day when I walk in and see both of them here. The place is always clean and spacious. I absolutely love this coffee spot. I highly recommend the iced aloha latte! You won't be disappointed.

New to the area and found this coffee shop! There croissant and pastries are so good! Now I'm trying their oatmeal!

Such a cute little coffee shop! The ladies here are really sweet and helpful when I asked questions. I wanted to try the aloha latte and went with the cinnamon roll latte w/regular milk (a seasonal drink) instead. I asked for 50% sweet and my, that drink was still way too sweet. Just FYI: A large latte is ~$9-10. The cinnamon roll didn't really taste too cinnamon-y but it also didn't give me the that "cinnamon roll" flavor. I would go back to try the aloha since it's a unique item on their menu. I did appreciate that the hot latte was served at an already drinkable temperature. If you like it really hot, might have to ask. We love a spot that supports the community! Even in a small way as having a little bulletin board is so special. This shop is very spacious and a perfect place to get some work done, vibe out, and enjoy a brew.

Great coffee and fresh made breakfast. Service is friendly and great chill ambiance.

Amber R.

Per usual, I was in the middle of nowhere trying to find a place with Wi-Fi that was local. I was pleasantly surprised! Incredible service, loved the Matcha latte, and the decoration and atmosphere was really great. I was also surprised by the music, there was a lot of classical R&B that I hadn't heard of in a long time.

I haven't found a good coffee shop in a while, and my dry spell is finally over. Walking in on a rare rainy Saturday morning in downtown SD and the vibes are just right. It's clean, open, not too busy (which I'm sure on a weekday would be a different story), It's chill. The music's atmosphere and volume have the place overall relaxed and I'm happy to just sit and people watch. I could spend an hour or two just enjoying. The staff are great. Very good service as other people have mentioned. I'd love to say more but that's just it, they are friendly and make the place welcoming. I got the iced Aloha latte and it was what I've been looking for. A nice balance of not too sweet and not just bitter. The coconut and macadamia come out nicely and you can actually taste them. Thank you!

I stopped by here earlier this past Monday for my morning coffee with my mother-in-law. Whenever I…read morego on vacation, I try to hit up a new coffee shop every morning, and on this particular morning I ended up heading over to Selva. Selva is an interesting coffee shop because it is located inside Terra Bella Nursery. That means there are plants everywhere, including throughout the coffee shop itself. Actually, the coffee shop has quite a massive space, with multiple nooks tucked into different areas among the plants, as well as a large area with many unusual and random items for sale. Then, since it was October, they also had a nice display with pumpkins set up. When ordering here, they take both your name and phone number and text you whenever your order is ready. For drinks on this day, I went with a Minor Detail for myself and a To Die For for my wife. I also chose an almond croissant. The menu described mine as brown sugar, sage, espresso, and milk, while my wife's was pumpkin, espresso, pumpkin cloud cream, and a graham cracker topping. Our order took about 15-20 minutes to come out, with the drinks sitting there for about five minutes before they called my name and texted me. At that point, the almond croissant wasn't ready, so it took another couple of minutes. I feel like that last part was a problem, as the person working at the counter was waiting with no customers before eventually putting it in the oven after my drinks had already been called. As for the coffee itself, well, it was interesting. This one is on me, as I chose something that was more savory than sweet, and the flavor definitely delivered, with some sweetness and a dominant flavor of sage. For me, it was a bit too much sage, as it covered everything else in the drink, including the espresso. Meanwhile, my wife's coffee here was pretty good, and I especially enjoyed the pumpkin cloud cream with its flavor and sweetness. Then the almond croissant was good, as it was super buttery and the almond filling was tasty as well. The bottom line for me is that I might stop by here again in the future. While I wasn't a big fan of the wait or the amount of sage in my coffee, I did enjoy my wife's coffee and the almond croissant.

When I arrived, there was a very long line, but because my order had already been placed, I went to the designated pickup area. While waiting, I watched the employee behind the counter speak politely and normally to other customers. When it was my turn, I turned my phone around and politely said, "Hi, I'm here to pick up for" Before I could even finish my sentence, the employee looked at my phone, rolled his eyes, turned away from me, and went to retrieve the order. There was no greeting, no acknowledgment, and no basic courtesy. He handed me the order while staring at me, rolled his eyes again, and immediately returned to the register. The interaction was so noticeably hostile that I looked back at him and asked, "What's your problem?" He immediately turned away and began helping someone else. I then asked another employee whether there was a manager available and explained what had just happened. Her response was essentially that there was "a lot going on" and that they were busy. Being busy does not excuse treating a customer disrespectfully especially when I had just watched other customers receive normal, courteous service. What made this experience particularly concerning was what happened next. While I was still making sure my large order was complete, another customer approached the pickup area. The same employee who would not even allow me to finish my sentence immediately greeted this man with, "Hello, how can I help you?" and proceeded to speak to him politely and professionally. That was the exact basic courtesy I had been denied only moments earlier. As a Black woman, I cannot ignore that difference in treatment. I watched this employee demonstrate that he was perfectly capable of greeting customers, communicating professionally, and being courteous. He simply chose not to extend that same treatment to me. Based on what I personally witnessed, the disparity felt prejudicial and discriminatory. I then walked to the neighboring sister establishment to ask how I could contact management because I had not been provided helpful management information inside the coffee shop. Ironically, the employee I spoke with there was also Latino, and he treated me with complete respect. He listened, offered to get a manager, asked whether I was okay, and apologized that I had experienced something uncomfortable. That interaction is important because my complaint is not about anyone's ethnicity it is about the specific behavior of the employees who dealt with me at the coffee shop. What was also strange was that the coffee shop employees who had just explained that everything was so hectic suddenly had plenty of time to stand at the counter and watch me while I spoke with the neighboring business. They continued watching me until I got into my car. There had been an enormous line of customers, yet somehow the "too busy" explanation disappeared when it came time to watch what I was doing after I asked about management. That made an already uncomfortable situation feel even more hostile. The Smoking Gun needs to seriously evaluate who it places in customer-facing positions. Customers should not have to wonder whether their race affected the basic level of dignity and courtesy they received. If an employee is overwhelmed or having a bad day, take a break, ask for help, or work away from the front counter. What you do not do is selectively discard basic manners with one customer and then immediately demonstrate those same manners to the next. I came in to pick up coffee for a wedding. I was polite. I was there to collect an order and leave. There was absolutely no reason for me to be treated with hostility. I will be filing a formal complaint with management regarding this incident. I hope management takes it seriously, reviews what occurred, and provides its staff with appropriate customer-service and anti-discrimination training. No paying customer should be treated as though basic respect is optional. And yes, they can run the cameras back it'll be in there ! Then to ice the cake, they literally got the order wrong and didn't give me all the items for the party that I was taking it to! Could look me up and down but not look the orders up and down !

My friends…read moreand I came on a Wednesday evening and we were sat outside due to the inside being packed full. The staff were super friendly and accommodating, offering to move us as soon as something inside opened up, but the night was beautiful and we loved the outside vibes anyways. Throughout the meal, the service was also top quality. We were checked on consistently and everyone was very kind. For drinks, we tried the strawberry soda, matcha latte with whole milk, and the iced earl grey lavender milk tea. The matcha had a satisfying earthy flavor to it, but my favorite had to be the milk tea. Those earl grey and lavender flavors were vibrantly present with each sip, complementing each other deliciously. After serious debating, we ending up with four food options: The hayashi omurice, chicken karaage, tuna mayo bakudan onigiri, and the hatsuzakara curry. The omurice was definitely my favorite of the night, followed closely by the karaage! The only thing I wasn't satisfied with was the onigiri which just fell on the bland side in comparison with all the other amazing food. Still, the filling was tasty once I broke through the mountain of rice! Overall, this was a great experience for my friends and I, and we would definitely recommend others to try it out!! It was the perfect place to be for some warm comfort food.

Apparently, our table had been ready, but the previous party had already paid and refused to leave. The staff eventually let us sit separately while waiting, and I appreciated how communicative they were throughout the situation. Food: We ordered the Hayashi Omurice, Salmon Onigiri, and Karaage. Unfortunately, the food was pretty disappointing. The Karaage was alright and probably the only dish we somewhat enjoyed. No one was a fan of the Hayashi Omurice, and while the Salmon Onigiri was much bigger than your typical onigiri, it was about 90% rice with barely any filling. I also found it pretty lacking in flavor. The presentation was definitely cute, but the food itself didn't live up to it. Service: The staff was kind and communicative throughout the long wait, which we really appreciated. Ambiance: Very homey and comforting inside. The space and food presentation make it a cute spot for pictures. Unfortunately, the service and ambiance were the highlights of our visit rather than the food. It's a shame because the place is really cute, but I don't see myself coming back.
