    For years, I thought this place was just a convenience store -- so I was pleasantly surprised to stop by and discover it's actually a coffee shop (and so much more). I dropped in on a Friday morning, and the shop was buzzing with local regulars. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, and the vibe inside was relaxed and welcoming. The staff greeted me warmly. I ordered a large latte and asked for a "samich" recommendation. They suggested The Jacob. The sandwich was delicious -- I'd absolutely order it again. It comes with bacon, eggs, cheese, and avocado on a jalapeño bagel. Yum! The latte was okay, but next time I'd probably go with a regular drip coffee or an Americano. That said, my meal was on the pricey side -- $20 for the sandwich and latte, and with tip it came out to around $25.

    This place has been around for a long time. It is a great spot to grab a coffee and bite to eat and then go for a walk on the bay. I have been here many times for coffee. Today I got the cinnamon raisin bagel with peanut butter, bananas, and honey. I sat out front in the sunshine. They have a side patio and some seating indoors. They have a small parking lot, but it was also easy this time of year to find street parking.

    The beverages, food, and service are consistently great at Crown Point Coffee. There are a few tables inside, and plenty of seating outside. You can even get a special treat for your pup!

    One of the patios. Dog friendly!

    I don't know how I have never left a review for this little gem! My family and I have been coming here for years and with the recent expansion, it is even better than before. The breakfast sandwiches and the açai bowls are a true standout. Their ice cream is the best I've ever had. The line is sometimes long, but it moves quickly and it is worth the wait. Everyone is helpful and friendly. The outdoor patio is a pleasure you definitely will enjoy this local spot.

    We ordered the Milky Way and Brown Sugar Cinnamon lattes, the Brown Sugar was a little too sweet but the Milky Way was okay. The best part was the breakfast sandwiches, the Jacob was our favorite. The staff were friendly and helpful. The cafe has some seating and a cute book area, we loved the poems they had displayed. The line got busy but we didn't wait too long.

    Very nice tables and umbrellas, but the flies are very annoying

    I've never been in this area of "Pacific Beach" before. Crown Point Coffee is located across the bridge that is positioned over Fisherman's Channel. It's located across from a Market & Liquor Store. Crown Point Coffee has a small lot, but plenty of parking in the residential areas with no parking limitations. They have a small interior seating with bright color choices (hot pink, sunshine yellow, ocean blue) and a busy decorated interior (things hanging on the ceiling, against the wall, etc). There is also some outdoor seating on the right side of the cafe with umbrellas. It looks nice, visually, but there are too many flies hanging around the space...due to their compost green bin and their recycle/dumpster also being located there. The flies were resentless and a total annoyance to anyone standing or sitting at those tables. They should def try some remedies or something to reduce the amount of flies in this space! It's no wonder why that seating was empty. Onto the menu! They have coffee, teas, fruit bowls, protein smoothies, ice cream, sandwiches for breakfast & lunch, bagels, parfaits, and more. At first glance, I believed that their coffee items were priced too high. But upon futher look, they have two sizes: 16 oz and 20/24 oz. I usually get 12 oz at other places so the pricing usually is around $5.25-$6.75 at most. And then typically a 16 oz would cost about $7.25- $7.75. But usually the drinks that are priced at $7.75 are specialty/seasonal special items with housemade syrups. And from what I saw, most of Crown Point Coffee prices are around $7.75 for their 16 oz and then $8.75 for their larger size (20/24oz). I don't believe they make their syrups in house, if I remeber correctly they use Monin syrups. It's pretty nice that their larger cups cost under $9, at least for coffees. Anyways, for a review about the coffee. My friend ordered an Iced Honey Latte (espresso, honey, cinnamon, and almond milk [I am unsure if they made any changes with the milk- but the menu defaulted to almond milk for this particular latte]) and said it was deliciously balanced! The honey wasn't overwhelmingly sweet and they enjoyed it. Anyways, I didn't get an iced latte like usual-- surprisingly. I went with their 16 oz, $9.95 (but since I paid with CASH it was $9.57), Mocha Java Smoothie: this has banana, coconut milk, chocolate, espresso, and protein. I actually wanted to ask the woman working if I could have it without the protein, but the distance between me and her was very large, so it was diffucult to convey this as she already prepped the cup and everything in the back. I am unsure why they made the distance so far away but it made me feel very... detached as I attempted to order. I think the drink was OK, I noticed it was on the thinner side (of a smoothie, but still had a "thick" texture when you attempt to suck it up - due to the protein powder). I am unsure what kind it is, but I don't think I liked the taste of it in the smoothie. They give you thin straws, I think they'd benefit with slightly larger straws to make it less difficult to drink smoothies. On their cupsleeves, I saw that if you bring it back to reuse for your next visit, you could get 10 cents off your next coffee or specialty coffee beverage purchase. That's quite a unique thing that I don't think other coffee places have implimented! Onward to speak about their lunch item, my friend ordered the $17.50 Totally Tuna Sammich on a Croissant (+50 cents). The croissant looked a bit dried out and the pastry itself was a little disapointing. But the interior of the sammich was very fresh and vibrant, flavor of the tuna was good. It was a fulfilling lunch! It was packed full of spinach, avocado, tomato, cucumbers.... I think for this price, adding the option of chips would be a lovely lunch special! Anyways, this is a very noticably health forward cafe as they focus on providing people with fresh vegetables, diverse fruit options, alternative milk options, gluten free options, collagen powder/protein whey/vegan protein powder, etc. And their menu is quite large so there is something for everyone to enjoy. Also, if you pay with cash you get a discount where it reduces your payment by ~ 38 cents. I'd recommend the spot to many people that come to this area, but I hope that management does something about the flies situation!

    Most people will think why do I give most of my reviews a 5 star? Because I thoroughly investigate a place and look at the establishments food pics before I go. I'm a foodie person!! Most times I'm accurate!! It's a cute small hole in the wall location that we ordered breakfast sandwiches and coffees!! It was delicious!!!I had a breakfast wrap with egg, sausage, jalapeño, bacon, cheese and a cream cheese spread!! Excellent!!! The other order was a jalapeño cheese bagel with egg, bacon, cucumber yogurt sauce!! Excellent! We also had another order of a bacon, egg and cheese on English muffin! And 2 Mexicali coffees!!! Great service and you can eat outside! We all loved it!

    Breakfast sandwich

    This breakfast sandwich was delicious. The coffee here is great, and they consistently make tasty breakfast staples again and again.

    This was a cute place lots of vibrant colors and seating inside and limited seating outside. We had the best ice cream there and they got to us pretty quickly. All in all a nice place to visit when in town.

    $9.75 before tip for a small banana smoothie that wasn't even that good
    Angela H.

    I work over in the area so decided to come by. I know they had banana smoothies on the menu but it was like banana peanut butter and chocolate or banana strawberry. So I asked the lady working at the counter if I could just do banana and she said yes. So that was great. I ordered a small. So then I pay at the counter and she was like we don't have banana smoothie on the menu so I just put in something else. I'm thinking why didn't she just put in the banana strawberry smoothie but just do no strawberries and double banana. Well apparently she put in a large smoothie as I was charged $9.75 for a small banana smoothie. And yet I paid even more as I included a tip. To me that is ridiculous for a banana smoothie. I will not be back because when I was overcharged to begin with and two it's already expensive. And it wasn't even that great to be honest. There is only outside seating. It's a few picnic tables. And they do have parking.

    What a cute local spot in Crown Point to grab some coffee and tasty eats. I was a little hesitant to order a specialty coffee, because they sometimes end up tasting like milkshakes and the coffee flavor gets lost. This was definitely not the case, I ordered the 100 Grand (espresso, caramel) and my husband had the Brown Sugar Cinnamon latte and both were so well balanced, you could taste all of the mentioned flavors along with the high quality espresso. I loved the variety of the food menu too, they have a large menu of sweet and savory options. We tried the Ingraham St. Sandwich on an everything bagel and the large acai bowl with almond butter. The sandwich had a delicious scrambled egg and the bagel was yummy. The acai bowl was stacked full of fresh fruit and granola, one of the better ones we've had in a while.

    Food - 4.5 service - 5 Got a Milky Way iced coffee and a levain sourdough breakfast sandwich (didn't take a picture) with egg and sausage. The coffee was a 4 - I wish it were creamier but I asked for 2% so maybe it was my fault. Asked them to add whipped cream to sweeten and thicken it and it helped. The sandwich was delicious. I love Soroush and the bread had a lot of the flavor and was soft and chewy at the same time. The egg and sausage was a generous portion. Wish I took a picture. There was a line but the wait for all was not too bad at all. They have a good selection of breakfast, salad, ice cream, doughnuts and drinks. Parking is tight but it's like this everywhere in San Diego. Cute spot.

    Todays menu. So don't rely on menus as it changes daily
    Rachel N.

    It's a cute little coffee shop down near the beach. Came here for the crème Brûlée, but they only have certain flavors on certain days so unfortunately I didn't get to try that particular flavor. The sweet girl helping was kind to answer my questions I had on coffees. I ended up getting a cinnamon latte espresso iced. I have yet to taste it , but they give you options for full , mild , or no sweetness. Which is aweosme !!! I also picked up a banana , chocolate bread. No nuts! For my trip back on the road and I'm excited to eat it with my hot coffee later !!! There's seating outdoors , not inside. I can imagine parking can be horrid as there's sight saying when they get long lines. (Only means it's a good spot !! As I'm writing my review waiting on my drink and first impressions .... drum roll FIRST SIP... SOOOOOO SMACKIN GOOD!!! I am sad I'd leave San Diego and not find a drink close to it ' it's sooo good. I am trying to think if I can handle a second cup bc I want to go back before they close. 5 plus stars !!!

You can definitely taste the quality and the care they put into picking their menu items. The banana flavored coffee trend has been huge lately and I saw that garden coffee had added "Top Banana" to their menu. You know I had to try it and it was great. The banana flavor is concentrated into to the banana cold foam top, and it tastes like they blended milk with banana, it was so refreshing. It did not have an artificial flavor at all. I also wanted a decaf version of the top banana so instead of cold brew they made it into a latte form for me so I could have it decaf. The baristas are always the sweetest and so friendly. On top of all of that, the space is so cozy. It is located under a tree, so plenty of shade and the owner has many plants around (some for sale too!) and makes the space so green. This is a partially covered outdoor area, so definitely bring a jacket because it gets cold in the shade. There is plenty of seating and tables available, but it fills up as the day goes on. For people looking to study at a coffee shop, there are limited outlets here. They also have a small free library here and game to play. I love that this feels like a place where people can gather. Overall, I love this place, and everyone should check it out at least once!

It has all my favorite things: good coffee, plants, books, art, character, a homey feel, and even a tiny thrift shop next door. Tucked away in Old Town, this spot is absolutely worth a visit. Follow them on social media to catch the cool events and live music they host. There's plenty of seating, and the whole shop is outdoors with a cozy backyard‑patio vibe. The coffee is great, and I love trying their seasonal drinks. They have a little library I always appreciate, plus plants and cute merch for sale. Along with coffee, they serve tea and pastries.

Coffee and lemonade were delicious. Service was hit or miss - good when we got things to go but lacking when we ate in. Definitely on the slower side and honestly not very pleasant. Food was okay. We got a relish tray to go which was good (hard to mess up pickled veggies though) but seemed like a small portion for the cost. For breakfast I got the breakfast tacos - they're more like tostadas though since the tortilla is fried. It was good, not phenomenal. My friend got the avocado toast. It was toasted slices of baguette with avocado on them, rather than one or two larger pieces of toasted bread. Toppings looked good but the toast was about 20 seconds from being actually burnt - very hard without anything close to a soft inside (my friend said it cut up her mouth - she couldn't even finish the last piece). Maybe some of their other dishes are better or maybe dinner would have been a better choice. I'd probably go again for convenience sake, but I wouldn't recommend making a special trip out to try it if you're not already in the area. TLDR; coffee is good, food is okay, service hot or miss. Go if convenient, otherwise likely isn't worth a special trip.
