Chocolate Factory & Coffee Shop - A Sweet Little Find…read more Walking by on a hot day and needing a coffee, I stumbled upon this adorable spot -- a chocolate factory + coffee shop combo. They make all their chocolate in‑house, and it's 100% vegan, which is amazing. They offer truffles, "nibbles," chocolate‑covered nuts, and tons of different flavors. They even have little samples of each, which is such a nice touch. I went with the strawberry cream chocolate, and it was so tasty -- creamy, flavorful, and made with oat milk. Many of the chocolates you can sample are also available as truffle flavors, so it's fun to try a few before choosing. Sadly, I arrived about 30 minutes before closing, and the espresso machine had just been cleaned, so they couldn't make espresso‑based drinks. I opted for an iced tea instead. They offer matcha, coffee, tea, and chocolate drinks, so there's plenty to choose from. I'd definitely come back for sweet treats or gifts. The wrapping is adorable, the name is intentional and memorable, and I love the story behind the brand. A charming little spot worth revisiting.

It's on the very busy corner of Mission bay Blvd and Garnet!! You first smell the aroma of chocolate and it's so enticing! Stepping inside the charming interior is well designed with product everywhere you look! Espresso machine is out front and they use beans from Columbia roasted at Acento in Point Loma! The espresso drinks are perfection! Many flavors to choose from too! It's the perfect spot to find gifts for any occasion. Service is above and beyond; Renee represents the brand exceptionally well. Do stop in to see the process! They have a free parking lot and ADA easy entry. No restroom unfortunately.

Strawberry, Watermelon and Pineapple. That was so good refreshing. The flavors went well together. My Husband got the Golden Hour Shaken Espresso and added a Protein Cold Foam. His was quite tasty as well. I am now ready to try different flavors together for the next Frozen Fuel I order. The service was superb and quick. Super friendly. We ordered for pick up through the UberEats app. We just grabbed our order so we didn't stick around to check out Black Rock Coffee Bar, but from first glance it looked cool. Had outdoor seating which everything looked really clean.

This is my go to coffee shops on Thursday mornings. I go to Bible Study at 7 AM. So we always head…read moreover to the Capehart Dog Park before so my dog can run around. I stopped here on the way to get a coffee. I'm always so thankful to come that early because there's no weight. I get the blackout decaf, large and hot. The staff are always so helpful and pleasant even that early in the morning Definitely worth a stop even if there is a long line!!

Talitha Coffee is such a great spot to hang out and get some work done!…read more They have tons of indoor and outdoor seating, plus parking in the back, which is always a huge plus. I got the honey cinnamon latte, and they were super accommodating with our modifications. My friend got an Americano with syrups and really enjoyed it too. The staff were so friendly, the space was clean, and there's plenty of room to comfortably work for a few hours. They also have a great selection of flavors and genuinely good quality coffee. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

Communication! I ordered a breakfast burrito to go and ended up waiting over 30 mins. I understand…read morethere was someone who placed an order for about 6 items prior to me and delays happen. However, what was frustrating was the complete lack of communication. No one acknowledged the delay, apologized, or provided an update on the status of my order. A "Sorry for the wait" or "Your food will be out shortly" would have gone a long way. Instead, the only interaction I had was when the dude from the back finally handed me my burrito and apologized.

Coffee Cycle Roasting was such a solid coffee stop!…read more I got the lavender latte, a pastry, and the mushroom empanada, and everything was delicious. Their lavender syrup is made in-house, which made the latte taste extra special. The mushroom empanada came out hot and was so flavorful. The staff were friendly, there's a bathroom in the back, and I'll definitely be coming back. Street parking can be a little tricky, but sometimes you can get lucky and snag a spot right out front. There's also a paid parking lot next door if needed.

This location is shared with other businesses and it's pretty unassuming from the outside.. it does have both street parking and a private parking lot which is great. I'm sure it's busier during the week but on the weekend. While I was craving a Matcha, my husband was craving something sweet. We definitely both scored. My husband ordered a berries and cream croissant, and I had a ceremonial Matcha with vanilla. Service was excellent. They brought our drinks to us which was nice, I liked how bright it was inside with all the glass windows. I definitely be back in the area again. Great stop.

I got the most delicious, freshest açai bowl and loved that I could choose my own five ingredients (or more!). The blueberries were SO fresh! I also really, really enjoyed the Nutella beignets and the chocolate muffin. Everything was absolutely delicious! As someone who has lived in PB and now lives in East County, I love discovering spots like this that have such a great atmosphere and such kind people. And bonding with the owner about remembering: every day is a great day to have a great day! Thank you so much for the delicious treats and the amazing vibes! Anytime I'm in PB I'll now make sure I give him a visit.

I ordered a regular hot latte and it was a bit milky for me. I thought I'd get more of a coffee taste but it was a bit milky. Oh well still a nice little place.

Chill cafe close to Mission Bay!…read more It was my first time visiting and the staff was really friendly and patient while I checked out the menu. Went with an iced surf latte with oat milk. It was delicious! Really balanced flavors that complimented the espresso well. Enjoyed their outdoor seating since the vibes were really inviting. Look forward to the next visit!

Lovely coffee shop in Bay Park…read more Great selection of beverages and food items. Luckily they have a few beverages they use housemade syrups in too (which is a huge thing for me when choosing a shop). Indoor and some outdoor seating. Good availability of street parking. Staff was super friendly. They only do takeout cups and plating for items though so would recommend bringing your own cup if you are like me and hate wasting like that when dining in.

Inka'fe SD is such a fun Peruvian coffee spot!…read more I came specifically for their signature popular Lucuma iced coffee, but after chatting with the barista, I found out it's usually on the sweeter side. Since I prefer my lattes half sweet with just a subtle flavor so I can still taste the coffee, she was super accommodating and made mine with just a little bit of their lucuma syrup/mixture. It was SO good! The flavors were perfectly balanced and I could still taste the coffee, exactly how I like it. Parking is super easy since it's in a strip mall. Definitely coming back to try more of their drinks and food!

Forum is one of my favorite coffee shops and it literally never disappoints!…read more Is it busy? Yes But the coffee and matcha are consistently so good every single time. I've basically tried the whole menu at this point and everything has been amazing. The mango matcha is SO good, and all their lattes are great too. Their pastries can sell out by late afternoon FYI, so come earlier if you want more options. I love both their sweet and savory ones, but the cardamom pastry is my favorite. For savory, the sun-dried tomato pesto and potato chili are my go-tos. There's plenty of parking in both the front and back, plus a bathroom in the back. Tons of indoor seating and a few outdoor tables, although you're lucky if you snag one because this place is popular! This is my go-to spot and all my friends love it too. So yes, I'm here at least once a week and I'm not ashamed to admit it lol.
