I am not usually into leaving reviews unless I am absolutely wowed or baffled. This morning I was…read morewowed. I'm pregnant and have serious cravings. Like the wake up in the middle of the night to go get it type of cravings. I wanted a breakfast sandwich and Kettle on Grand has always been one of my go tos. While waiting in my car to pick up my order, morning sickness struck and in that process I peed myself in shorts that would very much give away that I did so. Mortified, I had to call and ask them to bring me my order. The gentleman was so beyond kind and even offered me water or sprite to help calm my stomach. The food has always been amazing and their staff is truly showing up.

Hiya my fellow, Yelpers!…read more It's been quite a while since my last review--I was injured and spent some time in recovery, but I'm back and so excited to share my local finds with you again. Recently, I dropped by Kettle on Grand in downtown Escondido. When I walked in, it felt wonderfully peaceful and quiet for a coffee shop, making it a super relaxing, family-friendly spot to settle in and enjoy a bite. My Order: Horchata Latte: Delicious! Usually when I order these at other spots, they tend to oversweeten the drink, but Kettle on Grand hit the perfect balance. Margherita Panini (without tomatoes): Served hot, tasted incredibly fresh, and had a fantastic, satisfying crisp. Side Salad (no feta): Don't let the photos fool you--the bowl was surprisingly generous and packed with fresh greens. The only minor tweak for my personal preference would be a few extra nuts for crunch, but it was delicious nonetheless. Tips: Self-Serve Water Station: They have a convenient self-serve water setup, which is always a huge plus when visiting with kids or settling in for a while. Free Wi-Fi & Great Service: The server behind the counter was warm, attentive, and completely on point. Plus, the free Wi-Fi makes it a cozy spot to catch up on work or browse while relaxing.

I especially love their pumpkin spice lattes served in an actual small pumpkin. They're only offered for a few weekends in October, so make sure to check their social media for availability and come early before they sell out! They also make adorable pumpkin-shaped bagels with pumpkin cream cheese this time of year,, and this year they had pumpkin cake pops that look like little pumpkins. How cute is that?! The space is attractive, clean, and nicely decorated, with several tables inside and a couple outside. Even with a line out the door, the service was fast, friendly, and efficient. Delicious coffee, festive fall treats, and such a fun seasonal experience. I'm glad my friend and I got to enjoy it again this year, it has become a fun October tradition for us!

You can even choose to have glitter added to your drink, which added such a fun and festive touch. The mini pumpkin is the perfect size to enjoy the latte. The service was great! Everyone was friendly and helpful with our questions. We ordered the Pumpkin Bagel with cream cheese to split along with a cute pumpkin cake pop. Everything tasted fresh and was packed with the amazing, rich flavor of pumpkin spice. If you love pumpkin season and all things fall, this is the perfect spot to go! Just make sure to get there early to enjoy these delicious lattes before they sell out for the day!

Not the best I've ever had but definitely solid. It was smooth, well-balanced, and had just the right amount of milk and maple syrup. The shop itself is very lively, especially for 11:00am on Tuesday. Lots of patrons, friends chatting, people working remotely, etc. Layout and aesthetic are simple but effective. It feels open and airy. Staff are very nice and upbeat. Overall, a nice spot for a pick-me-up or to chill.

For the price they charge, it's absolutely not worth it. The texture, the flavor, everything about it feels cheap and artificial. Honestly, you're better off making avocado toast at home.

No inside seating, just a corner shop you walk up, order and leave happy! It's my first time here and I'll tell you what. It's hard to decide what to get because every donut looks delicious. Today I had the savory ham & cheese croissant with jalapenos, a maple bacon pillow and the crueller. It was a hard decision but we were so happy with what we got. I love a savory pastry when I visit these donut shops. Only sad part was that I wasn't going home so couldn't grab a few extras. These guys were super busy so bring your patience. Understandable, it's hard to decide. And the staff here are so patient. I'll be back for sure.
