    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.

    My new favorite place for Vietnamese coffee. Service is always a 10/10. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. Coffee is delicious and you can alter the level of sweetness. The beef croissant is the best! Ambiance is chill and perfect for a study sesh or to read a book.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    Salted Viet Coffee and Matcha Cloud

    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!

    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

    Egg coffee
    Kay N.

    The Vietnamese coffee here is sooo delicious!! I've had them several times now and I've also saved their coffee for the morning after and it was still very tasty. Service is always quick and they're good to offer any help and answers to questions. The cafe itself has plenty of seating and is nice and bright! I didn't notice many/any outlets so probably not the best place for studying. Parking lot usually has plenty of parking given its open hours and is in proximity of several good restaurants. I would def rec the egg coffee! It's super creamy! The standard is 75% sweetness but if you find plain viet coffee too dark/bitter I would recommend 100% sweetness with at least normal ice level (to water it down). The matcha series is also nice but I believe the viet coffee is where it really shines!

    Egg Coffee
    Angela D.

    Been waiting for this place to open up and finally got a chance to try them on a Friday morning. Place is in the same vicinity as K Sandwich. They have an open seating concept with lots of natural light coming in. A good spot for doing some work or chilling. As for their drinks, I've been wanting to try some good egg coffee, and so glad to see they have it here. First things first, Vietnamese coffee's can be strong and bold. This egg coffee, made with real egg (yolk?) you can barely taste the egg since it's mixed with some sweetener. It also is already made 25% sweet, so that to me is a perfect amount of sweetness. The Egg foam makes the coffee nice and creamy too. Service was great. I'd say the wait time wasn't that long and had 3 other people ahead of me. I'll definitely be back to try some more of their drinks.

    What a cute cafe! The location is perfect for students from the nearby community college and high school, which you can definitely tell by how many people were inside studying. The decor is simple with a modern minimalist feel and a touch of wood that makes it feel clean and inviting. It's spacious and honestly a great environment to get work done. The menu is displayed on TVs along the left side and there are self ordering kiosks on the counter. The only downside is that the kiosks don't show full descriptions, so you have to keep looking back at the TVs to know what you're ordering. The worker was super sweet though and offered to answer questions or take our order if needed. I knew I wanted matcha and was deciding between the strawberry matcha latte or a regular one. I wanted something a little more interesting but not fruity, so I went with a matcha latte with salted cream foam at 75% sweetness. My husband got the marble drip coffee, which is a lighter phin style coffee with milk. Our drinks came out quickly and looked really nice. The layering of the matcha and coffee over the milk was pretty. They offer whole milk or oat milk for an extra $0.80. The matcha was just average. It leaned very milky and the actual matcha flavor felt muted. It didn't taste like high quality matcha, more mid tier, even comparable to something like Costco-sold Sencha matcha. I didn't hate it, it just didn't feel worth the price, especially with so many better matcha spots in San Diego. The salted foam was a nice touch though and balanced the drink well, almost like a matcha einspanner. The marble coffee was solid. It had a strong coffee flavor with a slight bitterness, but still enjoyable overall. I'd probably come back and try their teas instead. They just opened, so there's definitely room to grow. 4 stars for ambiance and service.

    I'm usually not a coffee drinker but their Vietnamese coffees were on point! Nicely brewed, strong coffee that complimented well with crushed ice. It had me not wanting to set the cup down until it was completely done. I had the matcha coffee, which had the matcha foam on top. It was a nice combination and flavors were well defined. The flavors didn't overpower one another but instead, complimented each. I also had the salted coffee, which had the salted foam on top, and it was good, too. I ordered a longan tea for someone else and she said she thoroughly enjoyed it, as it had a strong tea flavor, plenty of longan toppings, and it wasn't overly sweet (opted for no sugar but longan flavor had sweetness to it - barista recommended). Their regular sugar level seemed to be set at 50%, and reduced was offered at 0% and 25%. Besides coffee and tea, they also offer matcha and pastries. The shop looked simple and minimal with a few small tables. I came early and there were already a few people in there studying with their laptops. Staff were friendly and helpful with menu recommendations. I'll definitely be back to try other drinks and may end up being a regular guest there. I'm glad they're in the community!
