    Iced Aloha Latte
    Daisy M.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Entrance with outdoor seating

    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.

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

    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

    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!

    The Worker (?) bagel--egg, cheese, and smoked turkey.

    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!

    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!

    Iced Tea, Latte, Iced Caramel Macchiato
    Sarah G.

    i stopped by coffeentalk for a late saturday morning breakfast with some friends. we were able to order quickly and everything came out with ~10 min. the iced tea was good, and i liked that they had multiple blacked tea options. the latte and macchiato were also quite good. the food was good and hit the spot. nothing special, but we always love the classics. we had the açaí bowl and a BLT!

    For the near locations you can find the Coffee N Talk close by and close by the many busses.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Spill the Beans has completely ruined every other coffee shop for me…read more I'm here every single morning, and there's a reason. The bagels are larger, fluffier, and have this perfect subtle sweetness -- rumor has it they're boiled in agave syrup, and honestly, it shows. The Lox, Stock & Bagel hits different when the bagel itself is this good, and the McLovin is worth every bite too. The rotating selection keeps it fresh enough that I genuinely look forward to switching it up. Then there's the Basic Sitch -- don't let the name fool you. Best Caramel Macchiato I've had anywhere. Period. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out. And if you have, you already know.

Parking is a bit of a pain bit of you are in waking distance or come early enough it shouldn't be an issue. Sometimes they run out of items if you come later in the day. They have a special Bagel of the month, so make sure to ask what it is. They have several bagel flavors, and different flavor cream cheese spreads. I love the habanero bagel, it's one of my favorites, but just be warned it is very hot. Definitely don't eat it without something cold to drink. They also have a breakfast sandwich called the San Diego which is a favorite of several people I know. You chose the bagel you want it with and they add fried eggs, bacon, cheese and aioli. I highly reccomend it. I've not had a lot of their deinis, but i did order the cinna-bee which has honey, cinnamon, espresso and milk. I thought it was good and would order it again. Definitely check them out and try some of their bagels, or perhaps one of their sandwiches.

    Finally got to try this cute Japanese cafe we saw on TikTok, and it did not disappoint!…read more Service: [5/5] The two girls who helped us were so sweet and made the whole experience. We were seated at the bar, which ended up being such a vibe--we got to chat with the girl behind the bar and watch her make lattes and desserts right in front of us. That kind of interaction really sets this place apart. Price: [4.5/5] It's on the pricier side, but honestly it feels fair given the quality of food you're getting. You can taste where your money is going. Food/Drinks: [5/5] Matcha Latte -- We shared one, extra sweet at my request, and it was perfect. Exactly what I was hoping for. Chef Soichi's Karaage -- We had this as an appetizer and my boyfriend made a point to say this is the closest he's had to traditional Japanese karaage. High praise from someone who's passionate about his Japanese culture. Hayashi Omurice -- This is their most popular dish and it's easy to see why. The demi-glaze has a really unique flavor that ties the whole dish together beautifully. This was my pick and I'd order it again without hesitation. Guratan -- My boyfriend's order, and it was incredibly creamy and delicious. We were both too stuffed for dessert by the end, which says a lot about the portion sizes. Ambience: [5/5] The restaurant is small, but honestly that's part of what makes it so charming. Pink everywhere with wooden accents and cherry blossoms throughout (very fitting)--it's cozy, homey, and just really well put together. The intimate size adds to the appeal rather than taking away from it. Overall Experience: [5/5] Hatsuzakara was such a wonderful first experience. Yes, we waited about 30 minutes to be seated arriving at 7:30 on a Friday night but for a waitlist-only spot this small, that's actually a pretty reasonable wait by San Diego standards. The food, the atmosphere, and the staff more than made up for it. Already looking forward to coming back to try the curry and work through their dessert menu.

    This Japanese restaurant is so cute and pretty!! The servers also add to the Japanese vibe~…read more The menu is pretty easy to navigate. I feel like everything looked really good, so it was hard to decide what to order. The dishes have small portion size despite the price. I think this kinda helps in that you have room to eat dessert! The brown sugar Okinawa tea was good but the after taste of the sugar was not good. They kept the tea pot warm, and they served oat milk on the side. Karaage had too much chicken skin for my preference. Guratan was penne pasta and not macaroni as specified in the menu. Yakisoba could have used more chicken. Omurice had the more flavor and the egg was really good. I want to try naporitan next time because of the tomato based sauce. Of the desserts I tried, the parfait was most enjoyable because of the fruit with ice cream. The mushi pudding was good; it was the thick and "hard" type of flan. I want to try kakigori next time because I saw their shaved ice machine was legit. Parking - free street parking only. Be prepared to walk up/downhill. Credit card/apple pay accepted Bathroom is only one room in the back. THE SEAT IS WARM. This was a nice gem to find in this part of town.
