Looove this place. So nice to have a non corp coffee house in La Mesa. Perfect spot to chill and work or after a good workout. The place has a nice esthetic but would be good to have more chairs and tables? Not a complaint but would love them outside but seeing the landlord might frown on outside seating might prevent it. Service is top notch and even scored a nice sandwich because the very sweet barista had an extra! If you're in the mood for a better experience than usual come to Come Back Coffee read more

The place smells bad The food was old The drinks were horrible Staff was rude And ignore people walking in read more

UPDATE: Come Back kindly refunded my meal. Thank you! It was my first visit I ordered an oatmeal cappuccino and a chocolate croissant. When I first drank the cappuccino I noticed an awful taste. Maybe it was expired oat milk? The chocolate croissant was good, but may have been from yesterday batch. Even though it was heated up, it tasted stale. I had food poisoning after consuming. I tried to call the number on listed on yelp, but the number goes straight to voicemail. read more

I've love this La Mesa gem for coffee and working. They have plenty of seating perfect for working remotely. Their wifi is speedy and the environment is perfect for productivity. Now let's talk about the part that made me come back: COFFEE. I'm pretty simple when it comes to my coffee orders. I ordered a latte with their honey cinnamon syrup. Oh my... whatever coffee beans they use has the perfect depth that just matches the honey cinnamon flavor so well. I love when I get a hint of sweetness that comes after the forward bold taste of coffee. I typically have to ask for half sweet in other places, but I don't have to request for that here. I'm making myself crave for another iced honey cinnamon latte as I write this review! read more

This is the 2nd time here and each iced latte has been delectable but the Berries & Cream is seriously out of this world! I'll slowly sip, savoring the drink and will dream about my next one! The service is great and the ambiance is really nice too! And lets not forget, plenty of parking spaces! read more

Came back and brought friends! Came on a Sunday right around 11:30 and it was busy but we were able to find a table right away. I decided to get the houjicha and I like that it comes unsweetened. It was well made and the flavor of the houjicha was strong. My friends got the chai, matcha and the breakfast sandwich and enjoyed them. The English muffin on the breakfast sandwich almost looked homemade. She did mention the sandwich was very cheesy but not in a bad way. read more

4-5 stars. I've been wanting to come here since I heard of their opening through Instagram. It's cool that they opened up in La Mesa, as there's not a whole lots of coffee shops around there. First off, the interior is bright and minimalistic. The color combo of white and red really gives me Coca Cola vibes, esp with the logo font they went with. The mugs they have available remind me of those classic diner style mugs that have a good weight to them. The menu board looked promising and simplistic. If they could...I'd recommend, adding the price the house made syrups cost to the board. In the morning, around 10 am, I came here with friends. My friend ordered an Iced Matcha Latte sweetened with honey. And I had their 12 oz, Iced Dulce de Leche Latte, with whole milk. The price of two drinks came to be just under $14! My friend enjoyed the flavor of his drink saying that it wasn't overly sweetened and he could still taste the matcha. My drink was good as well, the first sip, you could really taste the coffee bean notes and it was amazing. I think I'd ask for half sweet next time. My 12 oz was a little overfilled and there were no napkins at the main bar where they had the drinks. After looking around, I noticed a coffee cart full of napkins, extra sweeteners, straws, etc by the door. A long walk of spillage that could have happened lol~ having a few napkins at the espresso bar drop off section would be handy as well! In the afternoon, before they closed, I ordered 12 oz Iced Latte with Vanilla Syrup. It was $5.75 & tax brought it up to $6.24... Anyways I think that it was a little bit of a surprise personally -- because the board mentioned $5 for 12 oz and didn't say anything about the syrups being .75 cents more. At least for vanilla syrup, I was thinking it was going to be .25-50 cents more minimum. Overall, the coffee shop was really nice and so were the workers. The guy working was very friendly and easy going with conversations~! They not only have espresso based drinks, but matcha, houjicha, parfaits, and breakfast sandwiches as well. According to the menu it seems like most items are under $8 which is pretty good, especially for breakfast items that tend to have outrageous prices at other locations. It's a cute addition to the neighborhood, open at prime hours of the day, I'd recommend swinging on by and checking them out! read more

I live down the street, pass this plaza all the time and never noticed this coffee shop. Well it opened late last year and I'm glad I finally stopped by. The inside is simple (in a good way) and spacious. We ordered the house houjicha latte and a chai latte. Both drinks tasted good and I will definetly return. read more

It wasn't a 5 star experience but I don't like hurting small businesses ratings. It wasn't a bad experience at all, it just was a tad bit "cold." I don't expect much from employees but a greeting would be nice. I walked in and no one said a word. However, the girl working answered my question, took my order accurately and completed it fast. The coffee i ordered was good. My only complaint is I asked the girl if it would be a little sweet (which I like) she said yes but it was not sweet at all. I drove off before testing it so I wasn't able to ask for more flavoring but I drank the entire thing & enjoyed it. The place is clean, parking is easy. They're a new place so I will def give them another try and a chance to work on the small like quirks. read more

Came here before coming into work, and the service is so bad. The employees are extremely rude, condescending, and entitled and they will ignore you. The food is mid and definitely not worth it. The whole vibe of the place is out of touch and it doesn't feel like a friendly neighborhood coffee shop. If you are looking for a more inclusive experience, do not come here. read more

The inside is very nice but the drinks were not the best. I got a matcha latte and it was very milky with not much of a matcha flavor. The prices are amazing tho and very affordable. read more

First off happy to see La Mesa to get a new coffee shop! My partner and I went on their grand opening which they offered free drinks! The line wasnt too bad and moved fairly quickly. Love the vibe of the place. It had a very nice open layout and plenty of tables. They also had wifi. So will definitely consider coming back and working here some day. I got the house hojicha with almond milk. But since I'm a tea junkie I went with the house hojicha which had stronger hojicha flavor with a hint of honey. I appreciated that it wasn't overwhelming sweet. Will definitely come back! Highly recommend! read more

Come Back Coffee is quickly becoming a La Mesa favorite. I do have to mention, though, that I've ordered a hot mocha with oat milk several times and each time it hasn't been hot enough. Most coffee shops serve hot drinks around 150 to 155F, but this one has consistently been warm. I even asked for it extra hot on my last visit and it still wasn't quite there. That said, the flavors are great, and I've also tried some of their iced coffees, which have easily become my favorite. Definitely worth checking out. Just hoping the hot drinks improve in temperature. read more

I do love it when a new coffee shop pops up in town! Come Back Coffee has recently opened on the outskirts of La Mesa, on University Ave. I had an iced matcha latte. The young lady who made it did a great job making it. I added zero sweet to it so the matcha flavor was up front and personal. It was well whisked, and it came out silky and delicious. They offer a variety of espresso based beverages, including breakfast items such as sandwiches and pastries. The place offers a good amount of inside seating and super friendly service. Great new coffee shop! read more

I tried the Berries & Cream latte and the guava coconut pastry, and both were fantastic! The latte was honestly one of the best I've ever had.

Employees were not very attentive and the inside smelled bad. The food was okay, coffee was okay.

What a vibe. Good coffee too! Music level is perfect, not too loud. The barista knows her stuff!

Come Back Coffee scores again! Their roast is amazing, with notes of chocolate and nuttiness. It pairs well with the vanilla latte. Definitely give this place a try if you're near by! read more

First time visiting Come Back Coffee and we really enjoyed it! Easy parking and ample seating inside the shop. The barista was very helpful and explained the differences between drinks to us. My husband tried the house houjicha - which was really unique to see - and he liked it! Perfect amount of sweetness. I had an iced mocha latte and it was also tasty and not overly sweet. Prices are a bit steep, but I like the homemade syrups! read more

This place is easily one of my favorite coffee spots. The interior has a clean, open layout with an old-school vibe. It's the kind of place you can sit down, take your time, and actually enjoy being there. My go-to drink is the Matcha Coconut Cloud, the flavor profile is smooth matcha balanced with a light coconut taste that's refreshing instead of heavy. Overall, Comeback Coffee Co is consistently great. The atmosphere, the quality, and the drinks are always on point. If you're looking for a spot with a chill vibe and top-tier drinks, this place is 100% worth it. It's pretty much always packed when I get here, but the service is great and worth the wait. read more

Tried this little place while on vacation and loved it! I'm very picky about my coffee and it was the perfect strength and flavor for me. I also had a breakfast sandwich which was very tasty. The staff was friendly and it's a cute place to sit down and enjoy a coffee and treat. Keep up the good work! I will definitely "come back" next time I'm in the area! read more

I ordered the matcha latte with their honey cinnamon syrup and the veggie sandwich. The matcha was just okay, it tasted a little watered down to me. My friend ordered a vanilla latte and she really enjoyed it. The veggie sandwich was really good though! One of my friends ordered the ham sandwich and I think I actually liked the veggie one more. The staff are also very nice and were helpful in explaining the difference between the house matcha and regular matcha (the house matcha is basically just their regular matcha but with the honey cinnamon syrup). The vibes here are also super cute! It's a great place to grab a quick bite to eat or stay and chat with a friend. read more

Love coming here and trying new fun drinks and food! Great place to chill and the workers are kind and attentive.

I absolutely loved my matcha from this coffee shop! It was the perfect amount of sweetness. The service was also professional and my drink was ready in 5 minutes! read more

The matcha and hojicha was not bad but not particularly good either. I barely tasted the hojicha. Their sandwich was very good, their bread I believe is sour dough. The space is big and open and I honestly love the aesthetic, a really nice place to talk and catch up with a friend. The workers were also nice. read more

This little cafe has a small but mighty menu. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and a vanilla hojicha latte with oat milk. The coffee I really enjoyed, I'm not a matcha person, so the hojicha was perfect for giving that earthy undertone without the grass taste. The breakfast sandwich, however, was to die for, the chimchurri sauce on it really made the other flavors pop, and I don't think they use deli ham slices, the ham on it was flakey and had great flavor. I also tried a strawberry pastry and it was alright, I would recommend sticking to the breakfast sandwich and coffee for the wow factor. The staff are all very sweet and knowledgeable about the coffee as well! read more

Stumbled upon this new coffee gem in La Mesa off University Ave and was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance is very inviting, with plenty of indoor seating and convenient parking. The staff was incredibly friendly--the young ladies working were especially kind and welcoming. I ordered a vanilla and caramel latte with breve (an extra $1), and I believe the syrups are made in-house. The largest iced drink size was 16 oz. Overall, it was a very positive experience, and I would definitely return. read more
