Faith. Coffee and community! What a beautiful thing! I came after finishing at the SD Rescue Mission, and the lady I volunteered with mentioned her granddaughter and herself went to visit a faith-based coffee shop this AM. Jesus and Coffee are my two favorite things! She told me to go all the way down E by the trolley station and I wouldn't miss it. It was easy to find and right by the station. Plenty of parking.. I got inside. It was a little after lunch.. it was nice and quiet inside. The ambience was friendly, warm and I described each seating area as tiny little living rooms! Bible verses all over, some merchandise to purchase. I enjoyed my short time here. I ordered a raspberry white bliss with oatmilk and it was one of the best coffee I've ever had! I didn't try any food but, I'll be back! read more

Pretty good bagel sandwich, I like how it has sauce and veggies inside. And the egg patty is pretty thick. Wish there was more cream cheese on the regular bagel, it wasn't much. Strawberry Banana Shake was good but a little on the watery side. Overall it's a good option to pick up food around the area and take it to go. read more

Cool Down Coffee - Atmosphere is spot on! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chula Vista, California

* Chill, cozy, peaceful vibe! * Great coffee * Spacious + clean with great parking This is my second time coming here, and I absolutely love it. The shop has such a peaceful, cozy atmosphere, and I really appreciate all the scriptures and encouraging décor it gives the space such a warm, uplifting feeling. It's spacious inside, super clean, and perfect if you want to study, chill, or enjoy coffee or lunch. Parking is easy too, which is a big plus. The only downside is that they close at 3 PM, but honestly, everything else makes up for it. I super recommend this coffee shop definitely a must try! read more

Cool Down Coffee - Banana Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chula Vista, California

After a long walk along the bay I was in search of a nearby caffeine fix. I had never heard of this coffee shop but decided to give it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised! I had the iced banana hazelnut dream latte. I adjusted it with half and half milk which made it even more creamy and decadent. I also recommend their bagels; I had the jalapeño and cheese. Different from your normal bagels these are made out of sourdough and I'm a huge fan of sourdough. This dough gave it a different spin for a softer version of a bagel which I enjoyed. I highly recommend this spot. read more

Nice café with warm, inviting, and friendly vibes. Located directing in the trolley parking lot. Plenty of free parking. The menu offers a great variety, including bagels, pastries, lattes, and coffee. I ordered the vanilla iced latte with breve and sour dough cinnamon coffee cake. Delicious, soft, flavorful bread. There's also plenty of indoor seating, which is a big plus. They also sell products from small businesses... I love it!! Overall, a lovely spot to hang out and enjoy a good latte while waiting on the trolley of bus. Awesome customer service. Reasonable prices. read more

What a sweet little spot adjacent to the E Street trolley station. I came in during a super hectic morning and was greeted with a calm space. The gentleman behind the counter was friendly and quickly worked on my order. The coffee shop was spacious, with several long tables and a large couch that clearly has been lots of love available for relaxing on while you enjoy your drink. Their iced dirty chai is super yummy! I will definitely come back next time I am in the area. read more

I had a pretty bad experience. I went inside and there was no menu. The guy told me, yeah the TV isn't working then just stared at me. I asked him if he could tell me what was on the menu and he said coffee. I asked if he could make an iced vanilla latte and he told me he could make a hot mocha. I ended up getting a hot vanilla latte. The register wasn't working and he ran my card multiple times. He had to walk the person making drinks through how to make it. He was going to add vanilla syrup plus a large scoop of powder vanilla, I told him no and he looked at me like I was crazy. Afterwards he said I had to leave because they were now closed (it was 2 PM exactly and the sign said they close at 3 PM). read more

Convenient location right off the freeway. The seating is alright. Was nice to see you could actually purchase bags of coffee, mugs and T shirts. Restrooms could definitely use an update. read more

This cute, clean coffee shop I went two days in a row. I had the #1 breakfast sammy on a jalapeño cheddar bagel. The option for the sides are an apple, banana or chips. I opted for the apple both days. The iced americano w/ light cream was delicious and fresh. The owners (Im assuming) were very polite and knowledgeable about the carnivorous plants they sell and I bought. I will definitely return when I'm in the area! read more

Food: moldy bagel!!!! I just ordered here took my food to go. The bagel I was served had mold in it. I didn't notice until I literally tasted it half way through my meal. Incredibly disappointed as the food was beyond expensive. Cost: $18 for a bagel with egg and ham and a small coffee with oat milk. Ambiance: cute and old. But tabled and chairs looked quite dirty. Service: the employees were very nice and quick but, clearly not maintaining food safety or checking expiration of food. Update: I was refunded for the bagel. read more

Happily writing this review of a small local coffee shop as I have 100% stopped corporate/big box coffee shops: Starbucks, Coffee Bean, McDonalds, Peets, Dunkin, etc. Firstly, the ambiance is serene and welcoming. I admittedly on this venture of finding local coffee shops am a bit shy, particularly if I am alone, to go in, chat, and look around. I have gotten better at expanding my skills on this. The décor reminds me of part homestyle part my grandmother's place. I found an old record player here which reminded me of my grandmother's, which she played a lot of Englebert Humperdinck, loudly! Fond memories. In Cool Down Coffee, there is subtle guitar music which is just the right level for quiet conversation and sets the tone for a cool quiet place to sit alone or with loved ones. It is clean, well laid out, and if you sit away from the entrance door in the opposite corner the air conditioning is sublime. Secondly, I had a caramel latte and a blueberry bagel, both yummy. The bagel was prepared for me with the cream cheese already spread, this gave me the feeling of someone who cared had prepared my bagel for me - not just slopped it together and shoved it in a to go bag or was annoyed to serve me... which brings me to... Thirdly, customer service, the grown man and young man team, quiet and unassuming were attentive to detail. The grown man, I am guessing was the owner (I did not ask - will work on this for future visiting). Was cordial, he read back my order for clarification, explained the coffee would be a minute or two. Had a warm energy and smile and got busy once I paid and left him a cash tip. I really do think small businesses deserve the cash rather than the credit card fees. Today I did not have enough cash to cover the order yet enough for a cash tip. I can imagine the fees small businesses pay for credit processing, the only true winners - the bank. Overall - I encourage you to go. I sat alone and enjoyed my coffee and bagel. I day dreamed a bit and kept off my phone. It was delightful the whole experience. :) read more

Nondescript coffee shop hidden to all but Google. When I walked in, after a nice run at the H Street Marina, no one was there at 9 am. Decent coffee, nothing to write home about. Service was okay. Unexpectedly nice atmosphere for a place next to a bus and train parking lot. Truth be told, my wait was probably less than it would have been had I gone to Starbucks... So there is that. Five-star. read more

The many times that when you have rode the trolley you always wanted to stop off and get a great cup of coffee and the many places that were always located many blocks away there would be places even yet the many places you find are sometimes the restaurants and some are the 711s . So many trolley have so many great places you can stop and have a great frapp or a nice warm muffin or even a nicely made sandwich . The place that talking about the one location you can get a nice cold Hawaii'n Coffee Frapp that has got the greatest flavor and the way its blended can be described as the best . When its hot outside you want something that is going to cool you down and have great coffee flavor the cool down coffee blended flavors are the best that I have tasted . The many places that I had been to the drinks that were to watery and the flavor was just not right this one location had far out passed many other coffee flavors which can be one of the best and the best taste . When I had walked into the Coffee Shop it told me this one location has more of a home style feel and the food and the interior was the best that I have ever been to . The Interior of the Cool Down Coffee is more more the home style and the mix of a place where you can relax and use your laptop where can use your lap top because many locations many are still not letting people sit inside due to the pandemic . The Menu they have has some of the best sandwiches that you can sit enjoy cold coffee or cold beverage and enjoy just a time to sit and unwind because this one location that has everything in it . Cool Down Coffee has a great christian feeling to it you will find many bible verses that can put you at ease and the many sayings they have on the wall are some of the best better than any other coffee shop . The great Hawaii'n Muffins and the great sandwiches where can you find a place that you can get great muffins and great frozen drinks but the location of the Est trolley location . See there is so many things that you can discover on the trolley and the Coaster because so many drive cars you speed past the many things yet the trolley gives you a chance to get off at stations and enjoy the many things they have to offer . As a reviewer this one location has some of the greatest customer service and the most welcoming spirit when you come to a Coffee Shop Deli which has some of the best food .Where you can sit and relax and enjoy great coffee and the great muffins and the bagels they serve . read more

I would hear the other day it's a very nice cafe and all but it's been upgraded since I've gone the last time I was there . the only difference it's a little it's more expensive than it was last time I went there I bought me a avocado cheese and turkey sandwich with spinach he was absolutely delicious tasty $10:00 it's a bit over pricey for a regular sandwich with a side of chips That does not include the drink guys are a bit expensive the service in this place is excellent! They have really nice clean bathrooms too I don't know it's only for customers or for the bus drivers only or the public is allowed to use them? read more

I ordered this morning via Grubhub. I ordered the Destroyer sandwich, the Ironman sandwich, an Iced Chai Latte and a House Blend Coffee. Everything seemed stupid expensive but I am sure that is just the mark up for Grubhub. The sandwiches were really good, so huge that it was hard to take a bite without having to deconstruct the sandwich. The chips were tasty. If I were going to order again, I would for sure get the Ironman, it was really good! The Iced Chai Latte was delicious. Delivery was fast, everything was packaged nicely with no spills. read more

Cool Down Coffee - 2. Out of Bounds - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chula Vista, California

This is a great little coffee spot right next to a busy bus stop and trolley stop on E st. in Chula Vista. I enjoyed a hot 16 oz latte with regular milk but no sugar. If I remember correctly it was $3 and some change. The hot latte was great and had good balance of espresso and steamed milk. It hit the spot and was just what I needed for the day's adventure ahead. The place offers comfortable seating, free Wi-Fi, and in addition to the great coffee items, they also make breakfast and lunch sandwiches and such. The customer service was very good and very family oriented. I could tell a lot of locals have made this spot as their coffee to go place. read more
