    No wait at 9am on a weekend morning. But be prepared for at least a 15-20min line as it gets closer to noon. Parking: A medium sized parking lot with a decent lot Interior: Very cozy with lots of tables that get filled quickly with people studying or chatting. Be sure to stop by the desktop to take retro web cam photos! Drinks: Ordered a Hot Hojicha Latte - 3.5/5 decent hojicha flavors but lacking a deep richness Hot Vanilla Latte - 4/5 Matcha Latte/ 3.5/5 - decent but lacking a rich and strong matcha flavor Overall decent place to get your morning caffeine fix in SD!

    Came to try this place after seeing hype on social media. I was pleasantly surprised to see they use Nami matcha as I have been wanting to try this brand. I loved the interior space and decor of the cafe. Shoutout the barista on aux as well because they were playing bangers for music. We ordered the matcha cloud and hojicha cloud. Baristas were nice and drinks came out at a good time. Loved the outdoor seating in front of the store; it sets this cafe apart with the casual lounge chairs. The only thing that was kinda disappointing was that our cups came with no type of sticker, label, or indication of the cafe name. I was excited to post it on social media for a review but this was a let down visually. Overall drinks were good and would come back again.

    Somehow I've let a whole year pass without coming to easy does it ! The one year anniversary was really cute and they decorated with streamers and balloons. They had a lot of fun collabs and a dj show up with people still coming to work! I tried their matcha cloud and it was a perfect ratio of matcha and cream without it being overly bitter or sweet. The variety of pastries I was most impressed by! Lots of savory ones like a chorizo potato roll and spinach artichoke pocket and sweet ones like a sweet corn muffin and guava roll. How could I choose??!!? I think only things to note are there are only a couple outlets to charge your devices and parking and get full quickly. Can't wait for another year of easy does it!

    My boyfriend and I wanted a quick bite to eat before heading to the Safari Park. Parking was easy since it's located in a plaza. We stopped by at around 8:20am today and there were only a few people in line. Service was welcoming and kind! They had an assortment of baked goods + empanadas as well as a great matcha/coffee menu. There's lots of seating for anyone who wants to hangout with friends or study. So awesome to see that they serve Nami (aashleyk's matcha brand). I ordered a chicken empanada, pan de elote, & an iced matcha cloud (less sweet & oat milk). Everything was absolutely DELISH. I'm pretty picky about my matcha, especially when it's in an Einspanner form. I loved the contrast between the sweet/salty cloud and the matcha itself! This place has their ratios down perfectly. Can't wait to come back (probably tomorrow)! 11/10.

    Love the coffee here - they serve Provecho beans. I got the Cortado and it was perfect. Lots of indoor seating mix of tables, couches and community table with some seats out front too with camp/lounge chairs. Service was friendly and quick. They also have lots of matcha options and pastries. Parking in the lot is easy, would definitely come back!

    Great drinks and plenty of seating! Good place for hanging out or for studying! The matcha cloud was delicious and perfectly made! Wonderful service as well

    Easy Does It is a fairly new coffee shop in Kearny Mesa on the east side of the 163, serving espresso drinks, open-faced bagels, wine, and some cool specialty drinks too. Overall, I like the aesthetic, vibes, interior set up, and bagels a lot. I feel like they're in the above-average range for coffee and matcha as well. I've been twice and I've tried the hot americano, iced latte, and iced matcha. The drinks are comparable to a lot of other coffee apps in the neighborhood--nothing that dazzles me necessarily, but solid nonetheless. They use Provecho beans, which is a good sign, since Provecho is one of the more legit local roasters. The open-faced bagels are where this place stands out. The Smoky Catch is an exceptional salmon bagel, with very fresh salmon, capers, dill, and cucumbers piled high on a cream-cheese-lathered bagel and topped with a spritz of lemon juice, olive oil, pepper, and dill. Service is very good here, too, and the WiFi is strong. There's plenty of space, and even a back room, making it a good spot to work remotely. I think the A/C is a little too high, though, as it actually gets uncomfortable if you're inside for too long. They do, however, offer a good amount of outdoor seating.

    This place is the best. Great service, chill vibes, and lots of seating. I've been here more than a handful of times and I love it every time. I usually get the iced matcha which they do better than most places in San Diego. They have a lot of variety on their drinks so there is not a boring season. They also have a lot of baked goodies which they can reheat for you if you ask! Make sure you try their matcha!

    I was really excited to try this matcha spot because I saw they use Nami Matcha. I've been curious about it for a while, especially since the tins are pretty expensive, so I had high expectations. Unfortunately, I left disappointed. The matcha tasted very watery and flavorless. It lacked the depth, richness, and complexity that I was expecting, and there wasn't anything particularly memorable or special about it. I ordered the Earl Grey Matcha, but it honestly didn't taste like Earl Grey at all. It tasted like a plain matcha, to the point where I had to double-check the label sticker to make sure I received the correct drink. I was expecting some noticeable bergamot or tea flavor, but there was none. It felt like I paid extra for a flavor that wasn't there. Also, it was almost all ice and no matcha. I took a few sips and it was all gone. My boyfriend ordered the hojicha, and while it wasn't bad, it didn't stand out either. It tasted like a standard hojicha latte that you could get at many other places. I was excited to finally try Nami's matcha in a drink before committing to buying a tin myself, but the drinks fell flat and didn't live up to the hype.

    Lots of space and great prices for really delicious drinks. I got the hojicha latte and found the various barley notes and warm smooth texture was such a great treat. The space is large and welcoming. They also have a room in the back where you can work.

    hojicha cloud and earl grey matcha...
    Kartika H.

    first time here. place is very nice with great ambiance. staffs and service is just ok. the taste for both drinks: earl grey matcha and hojicha cloud are just ok. a bit watery, i think. also try the mochi and just ok...

    Rmae G.

    I ordered Matcha cloud. Really good. Highly recommended. The person at the register was very informative when I asked about the difference about matcha and hojicha. Thank you and I will be back to try hojicha. The place was pretty spacious and I saw a lot of people studying. Pretty quiet. Line gets pretty long too. lol but so worth the wait for matcha.

    Mia-mor latte with oat milk and bagel with cream cheese

    Checked out Easy Does It yesterday since I was in the area and really loved the vibe. The space is super clean and open with tons of seating, so it's a great place to hang out. The staff were awesome and super friendly. I got the Mia-mor Latte and a plain bagel with cream cheese, and both hit the spot. One major bonus: they only charge $0.50 extra for oat milk! Most other coffee shops charge $1.00 or more now, so that was a really nice surprise. They also gave me a stamp card for future visits, which I'll definitely be using. Will absolutely be back!

This Coffee Bean is in a stand-alone building, with a drive-thru, in front of a strip shopping center. [My dry cleaner and barber shop were also in this center.] Service here is friendly. Parking is easy in the shared lot.

    I came here to get some of their powdered coffee and coffee beans (which they can grind for you,…read morejust let them know) and they were having a deal if you buy two or more you get a certain percentage off and a free coffee. Which is a great deal. I also got their jasmine green tea which I have heard great things about and I wanted to try it. The service when I was ordering and placing my order was great. But when I was waiting for my order to be made which was just tea and a simple black coffee took about 30 minutes or longer when it shouldn't have. They weren't busy in there. I was waiting patiently for my drinks and when I went up to an employee to ask about my drinks and showed her my receipt she looked clueless. I am not sure what was going on that day but I shouldn't be waiting that long for something so simple when the place was not busy and empty. The employee who took my order in the beginning apologized and made my drinks but if I never said anything I would be waiting for ever. There is plenty of seating inside. There is plenty of parking. I'm hoping the next time I go in there, it will be a better experience since I really liked their jasmine green tea.

Jk The place is cool and decorated with 33 cats arranged throughout the store. The crew works hard and pushing drinks out as fast as they can. There are displays that tell you when your drinks are ready but aren't truly accurate. My drink was to take 28 minutes which stressed me out but actually came out in 16! The drink was delicious and very sweet. No complaints here. I downed it before I made it to the Pink Curebound Concert. I wouldn't hesitate to drop in here again. Be back soon.

Never came to the counter to ask if I needed something. Half of them look clueless when I asked for a straw. Most I'd assume is foreign staff. One of my drink I asked for no ice and tell me why the drink have no ice but it's less than what I am supposed to get. Like literally a rip off. You would be getting a regular hot cup if you asked for no ice. My other drink, one of their specialty was throw out because it was sitting in their hot store. No AC no park no nothing everything is sat out in the rack. I dont know if this is even possible some need to send a request for the health inspector to evaluate milk being sit out and OSHA need to check their store, this is literally a sweat shop, not a good environment for people to wait or staff working under no air what so ever. Never coming back. I don't recommend this bubble tea. Trash. FYI. I did not drink the drink I tossed it. The no ice drink was completely warm. Atleast put it in the refrigerator. My other drink was completely watered and ice melted. Taste trash.
