    Matcha latte
    Amy T.

    I ordered the matcha latte with oat milk, regular sweet, and less ice. The matcha flavor was actually pretty good, but it wasn't mixed very well and was super grainy. Every sip felt chalky and irritated my throat, so I ended up giving the drink to my husband after a few sips. He didn't seem to mind it though. I also wasn't a fan of the nugget ice since it melted really fast and watered down the drink. I personally prefer larger ice cubes that last longer. Another negative is I ordered ahead online, but my husband still had to wait quite a while. They also accidentally gave my husband another matcha latte drink with whole milk instead of oat milk the first time, so that added to the wait. Plus side is the shop is in the same plaza as K Sandwiches and Wushiland, and parking was easy. Overall, not the best first experience, but the matcha flavor itself was good, so I'd probably give them another try and hope it was just an off day.

    The coffee here was pretty good. Loved the indoor seating and was dog friendly. The beef croissant was just ok. Not too much flavor and it maybe I just prefer a plain croissant. Cute little shop. Id get the coffee but probably not the croissant.

    Egg coffee

    If you need to wake up immediately, this is the place. I tried their egg coffee on my first visit, and it was good! Rich, creamy, and seriously strong. I drank it a little too fast and my heart was def palpitating 30 minutes later, but it absolutely got the job done lol. Aside from the high voltage coffee, the ambiance is nice and peaceful with plenty of parking. Highly recommend, just sip slowly!

    I was so excited to see a new Vietnamese cafe open up!! Smaller spot, but cute, clean aesthetic! We tried the sea salt coffee (sea salt foam with vietnamese coffee,) coconut matcha (coconut water, matcha foam, boba) and glazed croffle. Drinks were definitely strong - you'll be feeling it!! I also appreciated that the drinks weren't overly sweet like a lot of vietnamese coffees are - so if that's what you're used to, request em to modify! You can easily adjust ice and sweetness levels so you can have your perfect drink (: The croffle wasn't my favorite as I wasn't sure if it was glazed - I was expecting a crunchy/caramelized sugar exterior, but still decent. A croissant after all! The employees were all so kind and I'm excited to come back and try more!

    This Vietnamese coffee place is located in the same parking lot as K Sandwiches. They feature Vietnamese coffee brewed by phin filter the traditional Vietnamese way. I got a large Vietnamese coffee, The lady asked if i wanted it 25%, i wasn't sure what that meant but I guess if she asked then thats how most people order it, so i just went with it. I got a large and it was nice and smooth, not too sweet and still had a good coffee flavor, so i guess 25% sweet was the way to go. The cup had a sticker that said regular ice and 25% sweet, so i guess i could order less ice, which would mean more coffee, so I'd order it that way less time. 25% sweet and half ice. I like that they have other options like salted foam, ube, foam and egg foam. I did wish they had coconut coffee which is a thing I'd get while i was in Vietnam. They also have non coffee options with fruit and matcha as well as pastries. There are a few tables inside and one outside. Service was quick and easy, theres lots of parking in the private lot that it shares with Rose Donuts and K Sandwiches.

    Vietnamese coffee shops seem to be springing up more in the SD area. One of the latest is Drip Beans Coffee which is located in the Kearny Square of the Clairemont neighborhood where a poke shop used to operate. Parking in the shared lot can be hit or miss because of the businesses in the plaza that can draw large volumes of customers during meal times. The inside of the suite had about half a dozen small round tables for seating. Three menu screens hung high on the wall to the left of the service counter. Phin-dripped coffees were listed on the first screen, matcha and tea drinks were shown on the middle screen, and pastries (croissants/croffles/waffles) were on the last screen. Of the six matcha varieties, I picked the Strawberry Matcha Latte. Matcha, whole milk, and strawberry puree were the ingredients. The cup was layered from top to bottom in green, white and red to reflect the above contents. The puree was one of the fruitier strawberry layers I have tasted in this type of drink. The staff was pleasant despite being preoccupied with assembling orders. For the price and quality of my item, I gave a four star rating for my visit to Drip Beans Coffee.

    I came here to have coffee while discussing work. It was my first time here and requested a meeting place that had easy parking. It wasn't too busy today around 10a. The place wasn't too full . There's one restroom in back. I didn't realize they had a self order ipad so I just placed order with cashier. They didn't have any cream to add to their straight black coffee so I just ordered it as-is (iced). I was surprised it was almost $7 for a 20oz serving . They call your order when it's ready for you to go to counter to pick up. The coffee tasted like standard strong ice coffee. I was hoping for a smoother taste especially for the premium price. The wifi also wasn't accessible so we couldn't use my laptop to discuss some things. Maybe I'd come back to try another coffee drink if i was nearby in the future.

    biscoff matcha, beef croissant
    Viv N.

    A new Vietnamese owned coffee shop! I came by on a Wednesday to do work since I was meeting my friend nearby for dinner & wanted to avoid rush hour traffic. I tried their biscoff matcha, which is only seasonal/off menu but they still made it for me. With the thick cream top and biscoff cookie & crumbs, it tasted very creamy and milky kind of like a biscoff blended drink or icecream. The matcha was barely there but it didn't bother me too much as it satisfied my biscoff craving. It is dairy heavy fyi so I needed a lactaid. I also ordered their beef croissant, which was practically a hamburger with a croissant instead of burger buns. Overall, a really chill spot to study/do work with ample seating, outlets, wifi, and abundant parking! I'd come back to try their other matcha & coffee drinks :-)

    We came to get Rocky's since we came back after a very long time to San Diego and found out Rockies ended up moving locations and Drop took its place! They did such a great job renovating this space into a much more open area for customers to sit. We got the Ube Coffee and the Salted coffee and both were average. We were really expecting more ube flavor from the Ube foamed Vietnamese coffee and more of a salted flavor from the Salted coffee. It was smooth coffee which really sold us in wanting to come back but as far as flavors we weren't impressed. We definitely can't wait to come back to try other flavors.

    I love discovering small business, and this new Vietnamese coffee shop in Linda Vista is a winner! I had the breakfast combo consisting of a Vietnamese coffee and a croissant sandwich. You can choose from beef, chicken, or ham and cheese. I went with the beef for $10.99 plus tax. First of all, the croissant sandwich was quite tasty. The beef was tender, well seasoned and delicious. It came on a warm soft and crusty croissant, and with fresh tomatoes, cilantro, and lettuce. It was a delicious beef sandwich. The Vietnamese coffee was well made. It was strong yet smooth. I actually had it with no sugar but with just milk, and it was still great to drink. They offer a variety of tea and coffee based beverages. There is inside and outside seating available. The employees were very sweet and welcoming. There's a good amount of parking available. Great new spot in Linda Vista.

    Discovered this coffee shop after grabbing breakfast around the corner. I saw the grand opening banner so I made it a point to check them out. The eatery just opened two days prior and is modern and cozy. I ordered the Vietnamese ice coffee which was strong and flavorful just the way I like it. Overall, a pleasant experience and I recommend checking them out. Btw, they also offer fresh pastries too. Greeted by a friendly female

    Salted Viet Coffee and Matcha Cloud
    Eugene C.

    Saw that this place had opened up not too long ago and was craving some Vietnamese coffee so came by to check this place out. I went with the salted Vietnamese coffee and my partner went with the matcha cloud. They told me that the coffee starts at 25% sweetness which I felt was perfectly fine for this drink. The salted foam was not too salty and complemented the drink well. Like other Vietnamese coffees it was plenty strong. As for the matcha cloud I felt like the matcha foam was tasty but overall there wasn't enough matcha flavor for me. The coconut water and matcha did pair well together but if I were to come back I don't think I'd go for the matcha again. If I lived around here I'd definitely come by more often!

    There is another great Vietnamese coffee place to try. I got salted coffee and ube coffee and both are delicious. The place is clean and you can do self order. Great customer service. I will come back to try the fruit tea

The vibe is energetic with lots of chatter and energy. So, if you want that energizing environment both with coffee and socializing, "Lazy Eye" is the place to be. They also are a dog-friendly coffee shop. So, feel free to bring Fido also! I always love to try new places and support small businesses. They also sell merchandise here! So order a coffee and T -shirt both short and long sleeves plus sweatshirts as well to go! This is a place that is happy, upbeat, sells delicious coffee, food , and cute merchandise. I also enjoyed the upbeat music they were playing in the background. Come to "Lazy Eye" now!

You can either drive through or walk up to the counter, which is great if the drive-thru line is long. The staff are super friendly, and they have some really tasty in-house flavors, with seasonal options that rotate regularly. The coffee is excellent -- I always get mine half sweet, and they do a great job balancing the flavor. It's local, convenient, and surprisingly affordable for today's prices... under $5 for a latte, which is a total win. There's no indoor seating since it's a tiny booth, but there's plenty of parking if you want to walk up and grab your coffee. Overall, such a solid local coffee spot with friendly staff, creative flavors, and great value.
