    Aloha Latte & White Mocha
    Geraldine D.

    Made a pitstop for some coffee & ordered the Aloha latte with almond milk (iced) and an iced White mocha with cold foam and old milk. Super yummy not too sweet made just right. I recommend

    Iced Horchata Latte
    Jen S.

    Such a great spot in/near the Gaslamp district. They have the best horchatas in the area. The burrito is delicious as well. Wish we were able to come by more often!

    Aloha latte

    Aloha latte is my favorite! I love visiting both locations! Service is great and always so nice. If you get a chance try the turkey jalapeño cream cheese croissant! Soooo delicious!! Place is spacious with plenty of sitting and good music!

    Today, we walked in and noticed that empty tables were not bussed. I ordered an açaí bowl with the honey and granola on the side. I liked that the meal was clean and healthy. I also liked that there was free WiFi for me to work and enjoy my meal. My partner stated that his coffee was good quality so I'm giving this 4 stars.

    Good spot to get food and a drink for those working in the area. There is plenty of seating, and the ac is turned up. I got a chicken sandwich with red peppers, red onions (raw), hold the tomatoes, and goat cheese on toasted sour dough. The sandwich came out and it was half off the bread, so a fork was retrieved to assist. The chicken was shredded, and I think poached first. A tasty but messy lunch.

    Iced Aloha Latte

    I went today & had the ice Aloha latte. It was delicious. The only thing I wish it had a little more ice since it tasted warm than cold. I will definitely return & ask for a little more ice next time. Also, it's very clean and pretty inside & outside. All lot of places to sit as well. The service was good as well, didn't get rushed to order.

    Cucumber Avocado Toast, closeup

    The rose honey latte and ambiance were good, the cucumber avocado toast was so comically bad I'm writing a review. Underripe, plasticine slices of avocado sitting between bread and cucumber slices. Inedible and horrible to the point of being funny, but also $13 that could still be in my bank account. Effervescent. Don't get this. Also to clarify: the barista was very nice and all the drinks we got were good, and she let me replace the dish with a chocolate croissant.

    Coffee and muffins were great. Service was friendly. Indoor and outdoor seating. Overall a bit expensive but likely comparable to other shops. Parking is confusing -- be careful. I paid $24 to park for coffee and a muffin.

    Iced Pistachio Honey Latte
    Ellie N.

    I been going here since I moved. I live the ice pistachio honey latte! It has bits of the pistachio sugar on the bottom, I don't even khow they make it, but the bottom of it is my favorite part. The service is really good, the staff is nice and takes the time to get to know you. One of the gals knew my order lol. The location is cute, they have outdoor seating in the front. You'll see people bringing there laptops and working. It's downtown so just be alert of the homeless.

    Chorizo breakfast burrito is so greasy the grease has soaked through and made the burrito translucent. It's just a greasy sloppy mess.
    Anton E.

    The breakfast burrito was so soaked in grease it made it nearly inedible. The coffee was pretty good.

    Hot jasmine tea and Iced Matcha Latte
    Caitlin I.

    Nice place - wasn't busy at all when I went. Good selection + many options for breakfast. I was skeptical about their matcha but it tasted great!

They have a variety of matchas for sale - honorable mention for Rockys Matcha (served at Community Goods) for sale there which is convenient as I only know of one other store that sells it here They also have a good space to co-work.

I am in the closet about my age and still think I am like a kpop kid lmfao. Who am I kidding here?? Its a great space, but would agree they could probably cram in a few more tables. There's also another back area, and more tables back there. Guy helping me was very patient and helpful. He was also handsome too, always nice to have eye candy, even if I could have been his ajima!! I ordered a hojicha cloud as I love a good hojicha and I prefer it over matcha. I don't like sweet drinks so I asked him how sweet and he responded that the drink has 15g maple syrup in it. I froze like a deer in headlights because I didn't know what that meant but was impressed with how precise he was. I told him to just make it half that. I waited a few minutes and then my iced hojicha cloud came out. The foam on top was delicious and the hojicha was well made. I guess I could do with 7.5g of maple syrup! I sat outside as they put a bunch of chairs out and enjoyed the people watching but also some of the Miramar Air Show going on too. They came real close and did some neat tricks! Parking is a bit of a problem in this shared lot but overall, this was a good experience and I would return. Nice coffee bar with good drinks and good vibes!

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 !

First, street parking only but don't let that deter you from coming coz every inch or foot that you spend walking to this place is all worth it. Secondly, love the ambiance. Reminds me a lot of those ikazaya pubs in Japan but a little more chic and modern. They have bar seating of about 10 and 6-8 tables inside. But they also have outdoor seating. So I came at exactly 11 am and I was the second guest and they sat me at the bar. By 11:30 am, the entire resto was full, not granting it was a Saturday morning but people prolly got smart to come here early before the lunch crowd gets bigger. So for the food, I had to order their Hayachi Omurice and Chef Soichi's Chicken karage and both were BOMB! 11/10 each! Love the flavor of the rice and nice touch of thin slices of meat and the egg was perfectly made. I just wished there were heapings of those egg. The sauce was slightly tangy but love the flavor. The other star of my meal was the karage. Prolly the Top 2 karage I've had. I liked how they sliced in lengthwise and there not too much coating. And it wasn't oily and very juicy inside. Well seasoned and it came with lemon wedges and kewpie mayo. All I did was sprinkle some Nanami Togarashi for an added umami flavor. Overall, this should be on your top 10 restos in San Diego. Service was excellent, the servers were all friendly and always smiles!! Kudos to you guys!! I'll be back for sure!!
