Their Chula Vista location says permanently closed. And this location says temporarily closed. I doubt it's temporary. My husband and I are saddened, because they truly have the best coffee in town besides the Kona Mountain Coffee in Hawaii. Now, if my speculation is incorrect I will update my review. I'm glad we found this place a few months ago and we enjoyed their coffee and service. Mahalo!

Decadent name and $7 I am not entirely sure who made or how it was made there was no one else in the shop, it tasted like warmed up left over coffee from my Mr Koffee with some non descriptive flavors that certainly didn't taste as advertised Sorry it's a no for me and needs a lot of help in presentation and ambience

Em Coffee House has a great vibe to it. It is well lit and nicely decorated. I especially like the…read moremini indoor rock garden with the deer. Service was quick. Nothing to complain about here. I ordered a Spanish Latte which has condensed milk and milk foam in it. The coffee has the typical dark bitterness found in Vietnamese coffee. The bitterness is balanced out by the sweetness of the condensed milk. The oat milk adds a dimension of oat-y goodness on top of everything. Overall, an enjoyable and palatable drink.

Cute cafe but I wouldn't come here again for coffee. I'd honestly would just take round trip to da…read morevien or airoma instead. There were a lot of seats available but they were all dirty unfortunately. I got the White Truffle Tiramisu Cream Coffee and even though I mixed it thoroughly, it was still really strong and had a weird after taste. My friend got the Marble Latte Bac Xiu and it tasted a lot better so I would recommend that one over the tiramisu.

I was hoping they had…read morecold brew, but they did not so I wasn't sure what to order, I asked a few questions and described what I was looking for. They recommended the Spanish latte, and after describing my preferred sweetness level and what I wanted in a dessert, they suggested the milk cake. The recommendations that hit the mark. The Spanish latte and milk cake complemented each other, it was a great balance between the coffee and the sweetness of the dessert. Great service, a spot on recommendations, and a place I'd definitely consider visiting again!

So good! Matcha is such good quality and always consistent. I love the traditional iced matcha…read morelatte and it's perfect every time.

In the crowded and never ending space of new matcha places, Labora is a clear top tier choice…read more Matcha quality and color is on point. What really wins me over is the texture. Highly recommend downloading their app and ordering ahead. The only con I have to say is the parking lot. So if you've never been in this area. Super busy are and a small parking lot but it's worth the trouble

Very cute shop. Perfect for meet up, study, work, or just chill with a nice cup of matcha latte!…read more Staff/baristas are super friendly and helpful. All their lattes are amazing but my personal fav is the matcha. Excellent quality matcha and you can definitely taste it! Been here a few times just to grab some lattes and pastries to go but love the vibes. Will be back someday to just chill and enjoy the environment.

Pretty damn busy coffee spot and it was hopping on a Saturday afternoon when I popped in here…read more So many people in here studying, catching up, etc. And it was like Asian central so I felt right at home except for the fact that I might have been 25+ years older than everyone in here lol. I am in the closet about my age and still think I am like a kpop kid lmfao. Who am I kidding here?? Its a great space, but would agree they could probably cram in a few more tables. There's also another back area, and more tables back there. Guy helping me was very patient and helpful. He was also handsome too, always nice to have eye candy, even if I could have been his ajima!! I ordered a hojicha cloud as I love a good hojicha and I prefer it over matcha. I don't like sweet drinks so I asked him how sweet and he responded that the drink has 15g maple syrup in it. I froze like a deer in headlights because I didn't know what that meant but was impressed with how precise he was. I told him to just make it half that. I waited a few minutes and then my iced hojicha cloud came out. The foam on top was delicious and the hojicha was well made. I guess I could do with 7.5g of maple syrup! I sat outside as they put a bunch of chairs out and enjoyed the people watching but also some of the Miramar Air Show going on too. They came real close and did some neat tricks! Parking is a bit of a problem in this shared lot but overall, this was a good experience and I would return. Nice coffee bar with good drinks and good vibes!

Oh damn! We actually stumbled upon this little gem by accident. It became our most delicious…read moreaccident ever! We've never seen ube banana pudding before so that was our first item selected. We also ordered crinkle cookies, brownies, and crookies. We also bought two ube energy drinks just for fun. I'm so glad we decided to go in. I ended up eating the BEST ube crookie in the entire world! While they may look appealing, most crookies end up over-baked, way too dry, and super crumbly. This ube crookie was f*ckin fantastic!!!

This is located in the Miralani plaza. Its situated around the right hand area of the building…read more The parking isn't most desirable. The shop itself was very tiny. They have a small bench to sit on. There are multitudes of reasons why I could not like this place. The selections of bakery were meager. They also sell drinks. I got a halo halo. From the bakery side, I got an ube crinkle. The halo halo was such a pretty dessert, but after eating it, I felt sick in the stomach. I got a really bad ache and was EXTREMELY thirsty. I drank two bottles of water! I could not finish this dessert. It also tasted weird. It wasnt so sweet and the texture was OK but something was amiss. As for as the crinkle cookie, that wasnt very good. The food here made me sick and this doesn't bode very well with me. The cashier doesn't smile and service was OK.

This place is AWESOME! Visiting from out of town and found this hidden gem across from my work…read moremeeting. I tried the seasonal Basbousa latte and Bastirma & Cheese croissant. The Basbousa latte tastes like vacation in a cup with undertones of coconut cutting through the caffeine. I paired it with a Bastirma & Cheese croissant, which was the perfect savory to my sweet coffee. Bastirma is like prosciutto and the cheese was a bit of smoky flavor -- mix it into a flaky buttery croissant, and it's almost like you're in heaven.

Finjan is such a beautiful Turkish coffee spot and easily one of my favorites…read more I love their drinks, they are incredibly flavorful, high quality, and always presented so beautifully. I'm honestly obsessed with their ceramic plates and cups, they add so much to the whole experience. They serve great coffee, and you can also try traditionally made Turkish coffee here, which makes it feel even more special and authentic. Their baklava is top notch, and the food is just as good. My favorite is the fava bean toast.. so delicious and unique. Overall, such a lovely spot with amazing drinks, great food, and a really thoughtful presentation.

I had a breakfast sandwich on a jalapeño bagel with bacon, egg, cheese, chipotle aioli, and ham and it was packed and so delicious. All those flavors together just worked perfectly, and it was a really generously sized, filling breakfast sandwich too. Izzy, the owner, is amazing! Always so welcoming, friendly, and honestly keeps you laughing the whole time. It's such a great spot to grab food and drinks after a workout or even just on a regular day.

I ordered the Peachy Green (apple, peaches, banana, spinach). It was blended perfectly with crushed ice -- so smooth it took a moment to identify all the ingredients. We also tried the Chicken Pesto Panini, and it was honestly one of the best we've had. Fresh, flavorful, and the bread was warm and not overly thick. The chicken, mozzarella, pesto, and tomatoes were balanced perfectly. Israel provided excellent service and made everything with genuine care. We'll definitely be back.

I love this place and that's I have to stop by here at least 2-3 times a week. From their service…read moreto their drinks they really do give a damn about how people feel. One of the girls literally remembers me and my brothers. Him and I never been there together. She just knew by looking at us haha. Honestly she really does give off good energy in the morning to start your day. Theres also a couple of guys always being attentive to giving you any extra things you need behind the counter! The other thing I love about this place is the food! The burritos and pastries are amazing. A bonus I really like is their support for other businesses for example like a local hot sauce company with their food. Or the chocolate they use for their drinks is from a local San Diego company. This is truly amazing!!! You have to stop by and give it a try. The only down side I would say is the parking spaces are very tight but this isn't their fault!

I love the creations that this coffee shop comes up with! I tried their seasonal salted vanilla…read morelatte with pistachio cold foam, and it was outstanding. If you're bringing your furry friend the outside space is limited. It's a canopy tent with four tables underneath. It does look like this place gets crowded so might be better to leave the pups at home. Additionally I saw that since this place has to negotiate parking space with the other tenants they recommend parking your car on the street if you're planning on working/studying. The parking in the lot is difficult to come by even if you're just swinging by to pick up a beverage. For this reason I give this place a 4, but for their drinks alone it's a solid 5

I stopped by in the morning to try their adorable pumpkin-shaped bagel and it was delicious! It's…read morejust as tasty as it is cute and definitely worth trying. The café has a nice little setup with cute spots to take pictures and music playing in the background. The workers seemed busy but I understand--it's a popular place that always seems to have a lot going on! You can enjoy your bagel there or take it to go. I took mine to go, and they packed it in a sturdy container that I've actually kept reusing! They also included the pretzel stick and pumpkin cream cheese. Such a fun fall treat!

For anyone who enjoys cute aesthetics along with their coffee, this place is perfect…read more You can't tell from the outside, but inside it's a nice coffee shop with a cool black and white 2D looking space in the back. You order at the counter and they give you a buzzer to let you know when your order is ready. I've been here a couple of times and the service is usually pretty quick. They serve different coffees and teas as well as some food like toasts, empanadas and other breakfast items. Recently I had an Iced Pumpkin Matcha ($7.25/16 oz) and Pumpkin Bagel ($7.25). The matcha tasted more cinnamon than matcha but it wasn't bad. The pumpkin bagel is shaped like an adorable pumpkin but doesn't taste like pumpkin. They put a good amount of pumpkin cream cheese in it though. It was fun to try but I wouldn't get it again for the price. It's a cool coffee shop that serves some unique seasonal items. Check them out if you're looking for something different than your typical coffee shop.
