    Coconut Coffee Cloud
    Danny W.

    The Coconut Coffee Cloud was light, balanced and refreshing. The foam and coconut flakes on top added a nice texture to this drink. The barista was very attentive and answered my questions regarding the menu. This place is very large with plenty of seating and looks like a cool hangout or a place to work on your laptop. Definitely coming back to try the matcha.

    Matcha Cloud
    Vicky

    First time here, new matcha lover. Seriously so tasty here, I got the cloud matcha. It wasn't watered down at all and had amazing umami flavor. I believe they use Nami Matcha, long line goes by fairly quickly, lovely hangout spot with friends with a cozy chill ambiance. They also have cool mugs and little knick knacks for purchase if you're interested in their merch along with other small brands.

    **August 2026: Sunday Afternoon Visit** My friend and I needed a spot with good Wi‑Fi to do some trip planning while we were in San Diego. He found Easy Does It, so we decided to check it out. The space felt like a college campus and library combined. It's really big, with lots of tables and chairs, but nothing felt cramped. There were cozy seating areas and even some couches, so it was easy to settle in for a while and was definitely the kind of place where people can chat, study, or work on their laptops. The vibe was perfect for what we needed, and the AC was blasting. There are two gender‑neutral bathrooms and plenty of parking, which was a nice bonus. I ordered the Matcha Cloud and swapped in oat milk. We found a spot to work at the back of the house. Honestly, this place is huge and a great spot to do work. For space and vibe, I'd give it 4 stars. My drink didn't taste memorable or like something I'd order again, but I think if I'm in the area I might be open to trying a different beverage. Overall, I'd give this place about 3.5 stars.

    Wow! If you are pretty particular about your matcha like I am, I would say that this is the place to go to! This might be my new favorite place for matcha in San Diego. If you are familiar with the Orange County cafe scene, this place feels like it can be one of those coffee shops based off the interior design, good quality of food and drinks, merchandise, overall ambiance, and more. The food and drinks I got were really delicious! There are a lot of spaces to study in the cafe with ports to charge your electronics and Wi-Fi. The service is great as well. If you are looking for something else to do after visiting the cafe, there is FotoOp, a cute photo-booth experience with a lot of different backgrounds!

    Hojicha latte
    Megan C.

    Hugeee fan of easy does it- not only for the drinks, but just the vibes inside and community! Plenty of tables and natural lighting, it's the perfect place to study, work, or catch up with a friend. All the workers are really nice and helpful. They serve coffees, matchas, hojichas, and even wines! The hojicha was perfectly brewed and not too sweet. Will definitely be back here again!

    Passionfruit Matcha Tonic
    Teresa T.

    I've been here a few times and never got to writing a review. I recommend this cafe for their matchas and other drinks. This time I got a Passionfruit matcha tonic. It was really refreshing and the two flavors blended really well together. Service was fast. I went on a Monday afternoon and there was no line. The cashier was really friendly and nice. My drink came out in less than five minutes. This is a really cute and quiet place to study. There's plenty of indoor seating. It's not too loud so it is a good place to study at. There is a little Mac computer by the entrance where you can take a photo. Parking can be a little bit tricky. Some spots are limited time with the green curb. I had to go around once or twice to find parking. Overall, I recommend this place and I would come back.

    I've heard so many people love this place and I get the hype. The roast is perfect for their honey cinnamon latte. It's not overly sweet to where you still get to taste the coffee. The staff is friendly and were patient with the questions I did have. There were quite a few people with laptops working there. We came on a weekday and it was quite enough to work. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. If you're looking for a place to work from and have coffee this is your spot!

    Super cute matcha place. This space is pretty big and I had came for a mahjong event. They have really cool decor on the store and looks like a really cool event place. I bet there is plenty of space to hang out during normal hours. Staff was super friendly and the drinks were good too. I came kind of late and got a non caffinated tea. Parking is pretty big but during the event time I'll was lucky to find a spot.

    It is a TRAVESTY... that I haven't yet written about the coffee shop I've dedicated my life to over the past year, because... well, like I said, you will always find me here! OVERVIEW Come for the equally balanced, delicious coffee AND matcha drinks; the spacious work setting; the side entertainment (like a free bookshelf + camp chairs outside), and incredible ownership. Be prepared for hard parking during peak hours (lunchtime) and possible lack of seats (especially during schooltime). DRINKS It is RARE to find a shop whose matcha is on par with its coffee; normally, one is better than the other. Easy Does It, or EDI as we affectionately call it, is pro at BOTH. With coffee served from Provecho, matcha from Nami and hojicha from Paru??? You just hit a trifecta of GOOD good. Our Typical Order: 1) Iced Earl Grey Latte - omg, I LOVE the earthiness that the earl grey syrup brings to the matcha. Matcha, to me, is either too grassy or too sweet; the earl grey syrup makes it a perfectly earthy balance. 2) Honey Cinnamon Latte - how good could a standard coffee shop latte be, you ask? They have the HCL at almost every shop, and it's not usually standout. EDI, again, blew expectations wide open. Their HCL is balanced: sweet without being saccharine; and you can actually taste the cinnamon. 3) Hojicha Latte, Hot - omg, there was a time when I ordered almost one of these A DAY. Again, another sleeper - if you like the taste of coffee but can't take the caffeine (for a late night drink, perhaps), a hojicha is a good choice. It has that grounded taste that coffee gives, and the hot version of it is like a HUG for your mouth and stomach. They also have cool inventive flavors like the Matcha Cloud, the Coconut Cream Cloud (which is a coffee cloud on top of coconut water, I hear it's refreshing), so you'll never get tired of the drinks they have here. I also want to mention that they do serve wine and beer, too... so there's something for everyone! FOOD Spend any time in a coffee shop and know... you're gonna get hungry! Thankfully, EDI has open-faced bagel sandwiches AND pastries here, all of which look mighty tasty; all of which I cannot partake in, since I am gluten free. But ohhh, gluten warriors unite! Thanks to the partnership that is Jacob of Made for Mei Mei Mochi (aka the protein mochi) and Easy Does It, you'll have your PICK of 5 different flavors of homemade, chewy, ooey, DELICIOUS MOCHI -- SANS added sugars and preservatives you normally find in the store. I'm telling you, I don't normally like mochi (it tends to be so sweet) but I love the texture. And Made for Mei Mei hits it all! Flavors include: 1) chocolate hazelnut -- which tastes like Ferrer Rocher, yum 2) ube 3) green tea / red bean 4) black sesame 5) pb&j (yes, he's stocked peanut butter & jelly, a fan-demanded flavor) My favorites are #1 and #4; sometimes I go for #2 and #5 to mix it up. Either way, I spend WAY too much on these tiny li'l treats I might as well become an early investor. AMBIENCE This place is perfect for computer work as light doesn't directly fill the whole space. I like a li'l shade when I'm staring at a bright computer screen. There are two rooms: front and back; the back is a li'l darker and more chill vibes than the front. I also appreciate that they have a free bookshelf (just replenish it with your own!), plus a few magazines scattered around (for decoration, but I still browse). I miss when coffee shops had analog media, especially for when we don't want to be glued to our screens. EXTRA CREDIT Easy Does It also offers their shop as space for community events. From mahjong with No Ambition Tile Club to wine and jazz nights IN SUM THANK YOU Easy Does It ~ Grace, Nancy, the sister I haven't met, Eugenia, and the entire team ~ for creating a lovely third space where I can work, enjoy my snacks / drinks, meet friends and co-work, and have a great conversation. You make it so easy to feel welcomed, and I'll forever be grateful for you :)

    Matcha Earl Grey ($6.50)
    Esther L.

    A spacious, study cafe with plenty of seating and some wall outlets. Came on a Friday morning, and it's generally pretty quiet because everyone is on their laptops working on something. A lot of solo workers! I visited with a friend just to chat, and while there's music playing in the background, I'm sure people could hear us chat lol. The seating in the back of the store opens at 10am BTW; when I got here at 10am, 99% of the seating in the main room was full. I ordered the Matcha Earl Grey ($6.50), and it was OK. I got it half sweetened (the earl grey was just part of the sweetener) and less ice. I could taste the lingering matcha, but not the earl grey. Overall it was a bit watery. The workers are kind, and the cafe itself is very clean. Lowkey kind of dark with lots of window light. Free wifi with password info next to the cashier. I'd come again to work, seems like you can stay here a long time unlike other cafes. I wouldn't suggest coming here to catch up with a friend---unless you're quiet. :)

    Matcha passionfruit tonic
    Janette A.

    Was in the area and was craving a bagel. Thank goodness I stumbled upon this place because everything was yummy. The staff was attentive and knowledgable. Never had tonic matcha before. I got the matcha with passionfruit tonic. I've never had this before, but I'm glad I tried it. I got the smoky catch bagel and mushroom and got cheese empenada. Both were filling and flavorful. Would I come here again? Yes.

    Hojicha Latte and Matcha Cloud
    Samantha D.

    I was excited to try Easy Does It because I feel like it's hard to find a good Hojicha, but this place is definitely more tea forward and they don't quite put much sweetener. I ordered the Hojicha Latte and the Matcha Cloud because I wanted to compare the two. The Hojicha had a grainy-ness to it, but the flavor is there. I just wish there was some type of sweetener. Same goes with the Matcha Cloud, it was just okay. I typically like a stronger matcha taste (meaning more matcha powder added) so this didn't quite hit the spot for me, and it also didn't have sweetener either. My matcha standards are probably way too high after having Prosperitea in San Diego, I feel like they give the most intense matcha (and hojicha) flavor in their drinks. Other than the drinks, the service was really quick, probably took less than 5 minutes from ordering to getting my drinks which was nice and efficient. The space is also surprisingly very large so good for lounging around studying/working.

    Garden bagel
    Romeo C.

    Nice place to chill and have a drink and a bite to eat. Ordered their garden bagel which was very tasty and a generous serving size for the price. Staff was very helpful and friendly and plenty of space to enjoy your food/drinks.

We actually came mainly for the pumpkin bagel, but unfortunately it was already sold out when we got there around 9:30 AM. So if that's what you're coming for, I'd definitely recommend getting there early! I'll have to come back and try it next time. Overall, such a cute spot for a coffee run and definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

We both loved our drinks! The Avomango Sweet Dew was so creamy and refreshing, with the perfect combination of avocado and mango. It's such a unique flavor combination, but somehow works really well together. My husband loved the Mango Mochi just as much as I did on my first visit--the fresh mango flavor and chewy mochi make it such a fun drink. I really appreciate how creative the drinks are at 3CAT. Everything feels more unique and dessert-like than your typical boba shop, and you can really taste the fresh fruit. After two visits, I'm definitely a fan and already want to come back to try more of their drinks!

Many small tables and mostly booth seating. The booth seating has some comfy pads and you can grab some stackable chairs to sit. The seating area could be more clean. I think it's better in smaller groups for the seating area (2-3 people). Most people ordered for takeout, but it's nice to sit and enjoy the playlist.

Another seasonal favorite that I often get is the strawberry hojicha fresca. The service is quick and efficient. They always have our drinks ready soon after we place the order. You can also order online, and then pick up in store. The inside is always clean and well lit. It's a great place to catch up with friends, work/study, or just do a quick grab and go!
