My go-to order is the Banana Matcha (it's so good!), and if you're more of a coffee person, I highly recommend the Spanish Latte. The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts. It's the perfect spot to study, catch up with friends over coffee, or even go on a cute coffee date. The aesthetic is beautiful, the space is welcoming, and the drinks are consistently amazing. I always enjoy bringing friends here because I know they'll love it too. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area!

I had the chance to try three of their popular drinks: the Coco Ube Cream Coffee, White Truffle Tiramisu Cream Coffee, and the London Fog Salted Matcha. The drinks were top-notch and beautifully presented! The drinks are strong, but well-balanced. If you're a fan of Vietnamese iced coffees, definitely give them a try. I do want to point out that their coffees are quite strong. For me, it's stronger than your to-go Vietnamese iced coffee from your local banh mi joint. I love all the fun flavors. They also have non-coffee and non-tea based drinks, so you don't have to worry about being over-caffeinated! The cafe space itself is very cute but often packed on the weekends. I love the decor and the staff are friendly and very efficient. If Em Coffee House (which replaced Cafe 86) is a trendy Viet coffee shop that offers an amazing array of coffee-based and tea drinks.

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.

Places like this make many of us proud of our backgrounds, and I truly hope Finjan continues to grow into every corner of San Diego -- and eventually across the country.

Literally my favorite off the menu, but decided to try something new. I got the pina cold brew that had Yuzu, Pineapple and coconut cold foam. Interesting combo with so many flavors that test your taste buds. If you're looking for a nice summer drink, I suggest trying this one out. Another drink i got was the Vanilla with banana cold foam with toffee. The banana cold foam literally taste like a frozen banana, crazy right? Cold foam is perfect right amount of sweetness with that strong banana flavor. Place can be packed over the weekend, so arrive early or expect a little wait, but generally it moves fast. The pastries are very popular along with the Empanadas. The strawberry orange (GF) Muffin was good. Moist, flavorful and perfect pairing of both flavors.
