    Nutella Croffle, Chicken Croissant, Ube Coffee, Ube Matcha
    June P.

    YALL, do not sleep on the pastries and sandwiches because they are SO FIRE too. I was intrigued by the drinks at first which we got UBE MATCHA and UBE VIET COFFEE. Which for the milk choices, it's either only Whole milk or Oat milk (costs more). Took my lactose chances with whole milk and came out delicious. Ube Viet Coffee was topped with some biscoff powder, and the Ube Matcha had good matcha! I'm usually not a pastry person in general because usually all of them are dry for me BUT NOT HERE. The Chicken croissant was a lil small in general, but it was so yummy and not crumbly nor dry with a fresh taste of tomatoes and cilantro. The Nutella Croffle got nutella inside and there were crushed Oreos' on top of warm and toasty mochi-like waffle. This place is very well kept clean and simple. I really like the minimalist look of this place too, and the service was sufficient when we also asked for water. My next go to breakfast spot!

    Biscoff - Einspanner Latte
    Canary H.

    Drip Beans was one of the new Vietnamese Coffee shops that I've been seeing on social media. As other reviews have mentioned, there have been many new Vietnamese coffee shops popping up around the area. My goal is to try them all! Parking was a cinch. We walked right in and there was a kiosk to order at or wait for the cashier to help you out. They had a handful of different drink offerings, but I had settled on their einspanner latte with biscoff cream top. I'm also a sucker for a glazed croffle, so I added that to my order, too. They had a few pastry options and a combo with your drink if that's what you'd prefer. There is plenty of seating inside for people who want to sit, hang out, or do work. We sat there and didn't wait for too long for our items. Our coffee came out and I was shocked to see how heavy my drink was with milk and cream. They do not play with their cream tops! Upon mixing it, you do get the strong Vietnamese caffeine. It is definitely a strong dose and worth the palpitations. Their croffle came out very hot! Sadly, it wasn't super crispy or glazed. Just hot and fresh. Overall, not a bad little spot for Vietnamese coffee if it's in the area. Definitely worth a visit!

    After my doctors appointment came by for a cafecito. Found Drip Beans on IG & their products looked AMAZING!! So glad I stopped by. It was a very nice experience. The employee working the counter was very nice. She answered all of my questions. Great atmosphere. What I ordered: * Ube Coffee (1/2 sweet) * Strawberry Banana Croffle My coffee was DELICIOUS. Vietnamese coffee, crushed ice, & ube foam. YUMMY. I especially like it that you are able to modify your Vietnamese coffee. A lot of places have theirs already pre-sweetened. Their croffles are made fresh. That was a very nice treat. I will need to bring the hubby next time. He really missed out.... LOL.

    I highly recommend this place!! The coffee and the egg coffee are very good and truly enjoyed them. The caffeine in these coffees is strong. The service was quick and friendly. This is a good sit down coffee shop for chatting and/or working. I would go back to this coffee place!!

    Staff helpful iced egg coffee was good on the lowest sugar setting 25%. Good menu will come back for match. Nice setting if they up the decor more people would be inclined to come and stay.

    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.

    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.

    Egg coffee
    Jessica A.

    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!

    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

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.

We came in on a Monday morning and it was already pretty busy. I like that they had a kiosk you can just skip the line and order from. But they also have a person at the counter if that is what you prefer. They can make any of their creations as an espresso latte or matcha latte. Their popular drinks include banana, pistachio, ube, and pandan. They're also known for using ceremonial matcha which I appreciate. They have milk alternatives and you can customize sweetness level. I went with their pistachio matcha latte with oat and 50% less sweet. It was a delicious matcha with a pistachio cold sweet foam on top. 50% was the perfect amount of sweetness for me. I enjoyed every sip. The person I came with got the Banana 53 espresso latte which was a house made vietnamese drip coffee with a banana foam layer. He loved it as well.

The only thing is they have a very small lot in front so parking can be hard.

Bird Rock Coffee, a San Diego native named for the little town in La Jolla known for its rock formations along the coast inhabiting various seabirds, has expanded quite a bit all across the county and this location is just as unique as the others I've visited. Attached to the cafe, you'll get a glimpse into their roasting operations. What started as a micro-roaster, this chain has garnered a following near and far for their single origins, blends, and specialty drinks. As you arrive to this location, you'll find that there's limited parking relative to the size of this building. As you step foot into the shop, you'll understand why - most of their footprint is occupied by their roasting equipment but the dining space is still relatively large compared to more niche coffee shops. Situated with small tables as well as bench tops, during my weekend excursion, there was never a time that it was completely packed so you're bound to find a spot to camp. Outlets are also available from certain spots. Ordering is simple which can be done at the register or online. The menu is quite extensive with all things coffee but consider checking their online menus as I found items like their double cappuccino that wasn't advertised on their physical menus. If you do order through their mobile app, you'll automatically get reward points toward free drinks or food. Speaking of special offers, they also offer birthday goodies so when it's that time of the year, you're in for a treat! I did end up getting the double cappuccino and it was delicious and came out hot with just enough foam to add volume to each sip. If I weren't traveling with so much stuff, I would have considered getting their bags of beans to brew at home. Fortunately, they do offer a subscription and delivery through their website so for those like me looking for a taste from afar, you're in luck! From dark to light roasts, you'll have quite a few options with the notes you desire. The staff were friendly and helpful despite constantly at full capacity. Drinks kept churning out with the same consistent quality and hospitality. Overall, Bird Rock is a local roaster you'll want to check out as their growing operations is a clear result of their consistent product quality, accessibility through its many locations and ordering methods, and excellent service. This location in particular is just blocks away from the huge playground and park next to mission bay, albeit you're better off driving. I was much too full to grab food this around but it may be worth a try to go with the coffee next time. Whether you're a local or just visiting, consider making a trip out and roost on this rock for a while!
