We wanted something small and lite for breakfast and something close by and found this little spot. Considering it was Memorial Day, they were open until 1pm. They have seating inside with wood tables and some high tops and a little patio in the front as well. Staff was warm and welcoming. I like the fact that they had a variety of everything like omelette, French toast, açaí bowls, pastries and of course a variety of coffee. I opted for a rose late and an açaí bowl. We got our order within 10min. The açaí bowl was perfect with strawberries, bananas, granola and a honey drizzle. For the price, you get a generous portion that was absolutely filling. The coffee was amazing, it actually tasted like coffee, wish they had a location in Los Angeles. read more

The coffee is robust and fresh. The Santee location has sparse baked good choices and sometimes stale. The barista doesn't seem professionally trained. The female barista never smiles, performs like you're bothering her or maybe thats her resting face. She was there the third week of May. This is my second time visiting and she still gives an annoyed vibe. She was the only worker there so maybe she was overwhelmed. I let it go the first time but two days later she was with a second worker and still had a sour attitude. On the other hand, the cashier was exceptionally nice and very helpful. I will continue to purchase beans because for organic prices and the quality they are a cut above, however I don't like my latte served with a side of bad attitude. Santee. read more

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! read more

Coffeentalk - Aloha latte - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - San Diego, California

Walked a few blocks downtown to try this coffee shop and I'm shocked there were not more people inside. The barista was soft spoken but very friendly (especially considering the early hour). There were a few pastries if you were looking for that and plenty of seating. I ended up ordering the Aloha Latte hot and it was VERY good. There were a few small diced chunks of either coconut or macadamia so do not order unless looking for a flavor forward coffee. I sat outside in some of their seating for a little bit afterwards to enjoy my coffee while reading and it was a very nice vibe. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Could use some friendlier person who sells coffee. Ambiance was just regular coffee shop, not too much patrons. The first time I went there were only 3 people. On my 2nd time there were only 2 people. Maybe it's the way they serve. Woman who was doing coffee don't even smile read more

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. read more

I got the pumpkin spice latte. Def can taste the spice then pumpkin second BUT good!! I would get it less sweet next time but I would come here again for sure. Service was good and quick. Ambiance was nice read more

While the coffee was not bad it wasn't anything special either. From the pictures and menu I was expecting something more but was a bit underwhelmed. Service was nothing to really touch on. The overall vibe of the coffee shop was a local shop that people who live close to come to. It wasn't anything I would drive to otherwise. If you're a serious coffee nut, this is not the place for that. More so, this is just an average coffee spot. I would put them on the same level as Dunkin or Starbucks. I had the aloha coffee and it was good but again just tasted like average coffee. Reminded me of an almond joy in coffee form. read more

Our trip to San Diego includes trying new coffee shops. Coffee N' Talk is close to our hotel and has great reviews so we popped in for breakfast. We were not disappointed! Coffee is five-star for sure! W had an almond milk latte, and I had 2% cow since they didn't have non-fat (What?! In the land of the fit and thin beautiful people?!). They roast their beans here and do a fine job. We each had a breakfast bagel--husband had the egg, cheese, and smoked turkey on cheddar jalapeño and I had the veggie on Asiago. Both were good. W's egg looked a bit dry but he liked it, and mine could have used some seasoning. But overall, a good breakfast. Nice place for locals--very dog friendly. Has indoor and outdoor seating. And the pastry cabinet was hard to pass by! The croinuts looked amazing! read more

The food and drink were very good, however the service wasn't the best. The shop was very busy when we went and the barista didn't have the best attitude until the rush was over. After the rush was finished he went back to being hospitable! read more

Great alternative to Bux in downtown San Diego. Espresso drinks taste fresh and strong but not bitter - just how I like it. Service was very good both times. The vibe is very basic. The only downside is the high prices.... Recommended! read more

What is one place that you can have breakfast and some of the best coffee from the many countries of the world? For the many coffees place and the baristas that I have met with the many some can make the best in coffee drinks and there are those that just want to push products to get to the customer to see if they like the drink. What is the one thing that makes a great coffee place is it he food or is it the customer service? Coffee and Talk is one place that I had come across last month and to see what the location was about when you see a large dining area at the front which many coffee places are full, and the many tables would have people meeting for lunch and outside business meetings. When I had arrived at the coffee and talk, I saw the sign at the front door it was saying they were closing asking the people at the counter they said they were open with two hours before they closed. I looked about the coffee shop with the many displays with the coffee they have to sell there was a small number of sweets they told me they have deliveries in the morning. I told them that I wanted to order a caramel mocha 16oz size that is the large size they sell it was a few minutes the charge for the mocha was $5.40 good price for the location right here on Broadway in Downtown San Diego. I asked them if they were the new location on Broadway Downtown San Diego, they told me they were there for a few months the order was brought to the counter the great taste of the coffee was the best I Had ever tasted with the great taste of caramel in the mocha the best. From the many coffees they prepare with the best flavors its one place to have found the best coffee on Broadway next to the Burgers Bagels located across from the YMCA with the best location. The coffee and the location when you want to have the best in mochas and the best flavor from the many countries is the Coffee and Talk to find the best in drinks is the best in coffees. As a Yelp Elite Reviewer this is one place that had got my attention to find a coffee place that was at the end of B4roadway with the Starbucks that is located right across the street to have a place close by. Coffee and Talk is one place with the large dining area and the outdoor meeting area is one of the best coffee places for the early morning and the lunch areas. read more

Had a little time to kill between appointments and stopped in for a refresher. The Honey Pistachio Latte was sweet but not in a cloying way; the pistachio came through nicely and there was a deep, rich espresso palate smack. Super friendly, welcoming service made me feel at home. read more

Started my morning off right with an iced pistachio honey latte with oat milk and an ube Kouign-amann. The Kouign-amann is also offered in raspberry, plain, and pistachio. The inside of the cafe is spacious and has plenty of seating but it's really the outside patio that is the star! The floral backdrop is adorable and perfect for photos. read more

Cute coffee shop. Got the honey cinnamon latte, which hit the spot. Plenty of seating. Would come back again!

Service was friendly! Ambiance is okay, I think their other spots are nicer and more trendy. Lox bagel was basic but solid & hefty. Obsessed with the Açaí Bowl! Had the Nutty Açaí and loved it. Loved the hot chocolate! Honey lavender Latte was good. Tried the virtual circle croissants (Ube & Nutella) they were good but nothing crazy flavor wise. I've definitely better tasting croissants elsewhere but they looked cool. Not super sweet either. Cannoli was solid! Chocolate Mousse Cake was moist, light and not very sweet. read more

Staff was very friendly and helped with a large order of coffee and multiple bags of beans. I got the honey cinnamon latte and it was good but definitely on the sweeter side. I might get it half sweet next time. I haven't tried the beans yet but I purchased a bag after hearing great reviews! Overall, a nice spot to come in and grab a latte/pastry! read more

Such a vibe!!! Unfortunately it was raining when we went but their outdoor seating spots are ADORABLE! I came on a Saturday morning around 830 and it was quiet with a few others there. Perfect place to hangout or study! The oatmilk latte was delicious. My friend enjoyed her matcha. The Mexican mocha seemed interesting so I'll grab that next time! read more

Coffeentalk - Large Oat Milk Latte - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - San Diego, California

I was looking to grab a quick coffee and decided to come here because of the high reviews and I'm glad I did! I ended up ordering the iced bulletproof because I heard that it's really strong and I really needed the caffeine that day. I was expecting it to taste really bitter, but the taste itself was actually pretty mild and smooth! With how smooth it was, it reminded me of a nitro cold brew. Despite the mild taste, I could tell there was a lot of caffeine after taking a few sips so it definitely did what I needed it to do. I would definitely recommend this drink if you're looking for something with a lot of caffeine while also tasting good. The coffee shop itself is also really cute. They have plenty of seats and they have both indoor and outdoor seating available. For the outdoor seating, they have a flower wall on one side and a plant wall on the other side. The interior of the store gives off cozy vibes with the brick and wooden walls. I came on a Saturday morning and it wasn't that crowded so I was able to get my order pretty quickly which was nice. I also feel like because it wasn't super crowded, this would also be a good place to work or study. You can either order at the counter or there are also touch screens that you can place your order on. I ordered using the touch screen so my interaction with the employees was more limited, but they seemed friendly overall. It is located in downtown San Diego, so parking can be a pain but that's to be expected for the area. Overall, I would definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for a good coffee! read more

Barista was incredibly rude and the images of the restaurant are inaccurate. Ambiance is way worse in person

We order a cold brew coffee. Unfortunately didn't get to taste it. I asked for room in the drink for cream. They filled it to the top. As I added the necessary cream and sugar and went to put the lid back on the cup completely broke the plastic was so thin. To make matters worse as coffee was all of me and the floor nobody seemed to be concerned or bothered until we asked for a rag to clean it up. As if that was bad enough they offered to get me a new one instead they gave me the same coffee in a new cup.but doubled cupped it so the lid was not flush and the cup leaked. Ended up throwing it away. Service was lacking for sure. Would not be back at all. Please replace your cups. The coffee was $7.00 I'm sure plastic cups can't cost that much read more

Overall, I thought this coffee shop was pretty good. Definitely solid 8/10. To start, the service was great and so was the latte I ordered (vanilla iced latte with oat milk). The lemon poppyseed muffin was also pretty good but not the best I have had. What threw me off was the acai. In pictures, it looks so fresh but the one I ordered was almost a sorbet texture. This was not ideal for breakfast. I wish it was more of a blended smoothie type of acai rather than a premade scoop. I would definitely return to this place for a coffee and a pastry but probably never order the acai again. $10 is a lot for the quality you get. read more

Coffeentalk - Lox & Bagel Iced Mexican Mocha Iced Aloha Latte - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - San Diego, California

This is my go to place for a macchiato. The large is a generous size and a bit more on the sweeter side which I enjoy. Have had a few of their breakfast items. The everything bagels are always tasty so recommend those as the bases. The work bagel which is turkey, cheese and eggs is the favorite. Second favorite would be their veggie which is cream cheese, eggs, avocado and spinach. Both are tasty and filling but need sauce so highly recommend getting a hot sauce for either. For location it's in downtown so parking isn't the best (especially since the sidewalk right at the front is a bike lane) but we like to doordash or use another medium to bypass that problem which I recommend as their packaging is done well for their to-gos. Otherwise there's public parking across the street. read more
