Lots of seating, light, and super airy. Great place to grab a coffee and relax. Parking wasn't an issue. Service wasn't really friendly - no greeting when walked in or when we walked up to the counter. Maybe she was just ready to go home. We'll come back and give it another chance, maybe it was an off day. Lots of cute merchandise available. Some seating outside as well.

The flavor was rich, nutty, and robust....definitely one of the better tasting macchiatos I've had. The espresso was smooth, bold, and perfectly balanced without tasting burnt or bitter. The place itself was clean with a cool, open layout that made the atmosphere feel welcoming and comfortable. Service was quick and efficient, and the staff kept everything moving smoothly. Great coffee, great vibe, and an overall really solid experience.

Hmm I dunno.....the camp mocha and smoked salt maple latte tasted more like standard lattes than…read morewhat their menu descriptions hyped them up to be. :/ - Camp mocha: seemed like a drink catered more for the 'Gram with the torched marshmallow, but besides that it tasted like a straight mocha. Not the best s'mores-themed latte that I've tried. - Salt maple latte: verrrrry subtle maple taste and didn't even notice a salty flavor edge to it. Overall didn't seem like the drinks that I tried reflected their pricing. Visited on a weekday at around 8 am and service was a bit slow with one barista having to operate the cashier and prepare the orders.

I have been on a quest to quench my craving for the best banana-inspired latte...and I dare say…read moreBanana Dang is the BEST! I tried the iced shaken banana and let me describe in detail: 1. totally natural yet balanced banana flavor 2. silky smooth texture (can liquid be a texture?) 3. the perfect espresso to milk to ice ratio (ideal latte color) the staff was welcoming, friendly, and super chill - expect a relaxed vibe in the cafe! they provided great recs and I can't wait to try the entire menu. yes, this spot is worth the drive or walk or bike as someone who has tried a crazy amount of banana lattes in the SD & North County areas. obsessed is an understatement!

Not the biggest fan of this place. Just not it for me. My idea of a bakery deviates from their idea…read moreof pastries I guess. I'm just not used to individually packaged pastries. Regardless of the presentation, I was not a big fan of the taste. There's nothing that really stand out to me. Not even the drinks, they can either be really bland, milky, or sweet. I mean, to each their own right? I decide to follow up with a second visit for a birthday cake to see if the cake would change my mind. Although was still disappointed. I guess this place was just not meant for me. I will say this place is really nice and aesthetic. Visually pretty and clean, I'll give them that. As well as their customer service, they have a couple of staff that are really nice and welcoming. I appreciate the help I received on the two visits I took here.

I ordered the caramel brulee with 20 percent sugar, but it was not for me. The coffee itself tasted a little burnt and somehow was still overly syrupy sweet. I was hoping the lower sugar level would let more of the coffee flavor come through, but the drink just felt unbalanced. The staff was friendly and the service was good, so I appreciated that. Unfortunately the drink was enough that I do not see myself coming back.

I was bummed at first because it was only a drive through and there were about 6 cars in line. But just like the reviews I read said, it did move very quickly. There wasn't much of an ambiance since it was only a drive through. But I will say all the girls working were awesome friendly and really nice.

The heart and soul of this establishment is the bar staff super friendly, reliable, and always providing genuine service. The grounds are fantastic, with a great atmosphere that's both dog- and kid-friendly. While it's unfortunate that the pizza spot is gone, there are still plenty of great food options, from tacos to Thai noodles. The bathrooms are well maintained, although parking can be a bit of a challenge. Overall, it's a great SoCal spot to relax, enjoy a drink, and soak in the atmosphere. Plus, there's almost always live music on the weekends!
