My daughter and I visited this cafe back in August. I've been meaning to write a review! Service was outstanding! We were so happy to find dairy free baked goods (my daughter prefers to be dairy free). We had the Concha and cinnamon roll along with a salted maple latte and lavender matcha. Our drinks and dessert were amazing. I hope to go back some day! read more

The drinks and food are great! And the service is one of my favorite parts of this coffee shop. All the servers a super nice and take really good care of you.

Definitely give them a try, you might not even notice their bakery is vegan. So yummy! read more

- situated in a plaza with plenty of parking, this is a really cute smaller space! There's seating next to outlets though so it'd be the perfect place for studying/working - the staff were really friendly and patient! - there's hot savory food options along with a pastry case. They also sell bags of their own roasted coffee Salted maple latte: this came with a caramel drizzle and I got this less sweet. The espresso was expertly pulled as it had a smooth strong not bitter flavor. This paired well with that mapley flavor! read more

I loved that they accommodated dietary restrictions, while also having options for all The food - the s'mores banana bread pudding might be one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten in my life - no joke! It was warm, ooey gooey, rich, sweet, everything you want! The breakfast burrito was full of flavor & my husband who is not vegan, loved every single bite! The coffee was absolutely delicious! The overall space is so inviting & relaxing. I could've spent the whole morning reading or working in there. read more

This place was decent for that area. But it's not for me. Coffee was way too light in flavor, even after ordering extra shots for each drink. Scones were pretty good but not worth coming back for. Had a gentlemen help us when we arrived and he was super friendly and upbeat. There was another girl that came out to help when it got busier and she killed all the vibes, her demeanor was very cold and unpleasant. read more

First time discovering this small bakery tucked away in a spacious plaza of Lemon Grove. The inside is able to seat around 14 people from the looks of it and there is additional shaded seating outside. Staff that I met was extremely friendly (Grayson, Jules, and Dom), as well as the owner of the bakery Tanya. This bakery has been operating for about three years and there was a good crowd on a Monday afternoon. All the pastries are vegan and I tried the vanilla concha (pro tip get it warmed up) with their house made maple butter and the carrot cake. Both were amazing, I've never had a vegan concha and don't think I'll be going back to regular ones! They also have breakfast sandwiches that many people ordered that looks like it's on a thick piece of focaccia. The reviews speak for itself! Great pastries and coffee, friendly staff, and clean store what more could you want?! I'm glad I made this discovery and can't wait to come back, highly recommend you check out this place! read more

This place has a designated case for gluten-free confections. We didn't take full advantage because we've had enough coffee and had eaten already. We did purchase the most delicious gluten-free chocolate chip cookie. I have ever tasted. Five stars for that alone. They make it with almond flour and coconut flour I think and instead of chocolate chips, they have actual little squares of dark chocolate, and then they top it with salt. We're going back to try everything. You can look online to see what gluten-free confections they have that day and then order and pick them up. read more

I'm so happy to check out this local gem! I wanted to grab an iced latte and went with the spiced brown sugar syrup. I didn't realize that they made their syrups in-house which is a huge plus. Prices are comparable to other local coffee shops. It was truly love at first sip! I'm always wary that some drinks may come out too sweet as I've had that experience before, but my drink was perfect. It was flavorful but without the harsh sweetness you get from most coffee shops despite syrups. You can still taste the espresso. It was just perfect! I'm a new fan of this place. read more

The sweet potato biscuit was delicious! Highly recommend and they have a sweet potato jalapeño one too if you love the sweet and spicy. It is a very small area to sit and eat inside but they have a few tables outside as well. I ordered a drip coffee which was good. It wasn't bitter and had a bit of a nutty chocolate hint to it. The service was great even though they were short staffed. They have a nice selection of vegan and gluten free pastries to choose from. Great coffee stop if you're in the area. read more

First time visiting Elevated Coffee and Confections today and we were big fans! The SMOOTHEST cold brew I've ever had and I loved the vanilla cloud foam they topped it with. My husband had the Chai Tea Latte and was pleased, too - very nutmeg/clove forward. Nice spot with really comfortable outdoor seating options, too. The staff was very friendly and quick service! read more

Cute cafe tucked in Lemon Grove. Friendly staff that were patient with us while we narrowed down what we wanted. The menu is pretty expansive with a variety of unique drinks, savory foods, and sweet treats. We enjoyed the iced macadamia nut latte sans cinnamon and the iced salted caramel latte. Both were very well balanced and tasty. Would love to come back and try more drinks, as well as their biscuits! read more

I was so happy to find this place as they do vegan desserts! I had the poppy lemon donut and a iced tea (tropical delight). Loved both of my choices. Can't wait to see what seasonal items they come up with. The owner was super nice and patient. I appreciate that as I showed up pretty close to closing time and had lots of questions lol. definitely going back to try something from the savory section if the menu. read more

Thumbs up for gluten free options!!! Decide to stop by to try some local coffee and a pastry. Coffee selection was perfect, and liked that small area of pastries was dedicated to gluten free. Loved that we could add cloud foam to any drink of choice. The cinnamon roll cold brew with cloud foam was an absolute delight and the Oreo & cream cold brew was also delicious (per the sip I tried). The cashier was extremely friendly and offered help when we tried deciding what to order (made sure there was no one waiting on us in line for those wondering). The area was clean and neat , and drinks and pasties came out fairly quickly. Will definitely return! read more

This is my favorite coffee shop in Lemon Grove. All their food is vegan and gluten-free! I highly recommend their focaccia bread (it is to die for) and their mini heart shaped carrot cakes. The dessert size is perfect for those not trying to over do it and it is literally bite size so I love these for my sweet tooth. They do have regular sizes as well. I always get the hot honey cinammon latte with an extra shot but all the food/drink items I have ordered, I have liked. The pictures I uploaded are a hibiscus lemonade and cold brew salted caramel foam. The service is pretty quick, but of course they do have those days and times when it can get busy (like any other place) but overall I have never waited more than 10 max plus you can order ahead via phone or website. Overall it is a pretty cute place and has a table, a booth, high chairs, outdoor seating and a whole bunch of small plants. Everyone working there is always so sweet and they always compliment you so that's a plus! read more

Was in the area and in the mood for some coffee and found this little gem. Super cute coffee shop that makes you feel right at home. The service was great, they made some recommendations since first time here. Got the elevated pumpkin cold brew and the non caffeinated cookies and cream. Both were really good, my kiddos loved their cookies and cream drink which is like a chocolate milk. Also grabbed the last pumpkin snickerdoodle cookie which was very tasty. Didn't have chance to snap a photo of it before it was all gone. I would definitely come back if in the area. read more

The baristas here really do go the extra mile to get to know their customers and are very friendly with them. Since sitting here, almost everyone has been greeted by first name which attests to their passion and desire to make this place a very welcoming space. Their coffee is good. I get their Oreo cold brew drink which isnt on their menu anymore but they still make it. Again showing this place is an awesome spot. I come here to work on stuff, read, or chat with friends. The space is smaller but isnt usually packed. Places all around to plug into a wall and get electronics charged. Big thanks to the two here that are making this place a new contender for my pre-job stops. Hope more success for them and this place! read more

I absolutely adore this coffee shop! Elevated Coffee & Confections is my go to spot I'm here so much I should probably start paying rent . I just know it's going to be a productive day when I start it off here. The whole team is seriously the sweetest they always greet me by name the second I walk in. They have such a great selection of drinks and treats, and honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I come in so often that Grayson knows my entire order without me saying a word! This coffee shop is the true gem of Lemon Grove.I've been to many coffee shops across San Diego, but this one is by far the best. Don't say I didn't warn you once you come here, you'll never go anywhere else. See you in line tomorrow read more

100% have avoided coming to Elevated Coffee & Confections for absolutely personal issues. Parking was a bit rough given I went on a Sunday and right next door is a operable church - perhaps during the week it isn't too rough; but good parking karma found me within a five car walk to the front door. Once inside it is simple, a touch of elegance, and the vibe shifts to love and peace. Seating is plentiful enough for the given space, in addition to a few seats just outside the door. Then there's the food. Oh, you wanted to hear about the coffee? Yes, they have coffee - my palate doesn't really comprehend how good or poor coffee is, other than, it was good. Not overpowering. Not bitter. Not sour. Just black. The manager (owner) was super helpful in working through the menu options even with a growing line behind. She effectively explained my questions, efficiently filled other orders in the process all-the-while keeping the patron the center of her focus, and upsold some baked goods all while keeping a friendly tone and moving the line along. Now, let's get back to this food - oh....my....what?! Are you kidding me?! With a great handful of serious food issues, their vegan options had me drooling. From the blueberry bread pudding that punches you right in the taste buds from the first bite, to following up with an unexpected under hook from the explosion of flavors in the biscuits not mentioned anywhere in the available menu pics. To top it off, they have WiFi which means this remote worker has yet another option when it comes to his daily fill of office spaces with a caffeinated focus~! read more

My favorite coffee shop before work! I try to stop in once a week! I haven't explored too much of the menu because what I chose is absolutely perfect. The vegan options are so great! I want to say all the food and pastries are vegan but I could be wrong. I had been getting the chorizo burrito and had no idea it was vegan because it was sooo good. Didn't realize the "egg" was tofu. Dipped in the sauce is amazing. I ordered an Oat milk vanilla latte with my burrito. But the best thing I wanna say on the menu is the cookies!! Soooooooo fluffy, moist and delicious. I gave one to my mom and she loved it. Told her it was vegan after and she was impressed. Grayson is the barista who helps me in the morning and he is so warm and welcoming! Elevated does offer online ordering- which I do before work to pick up and go. They do have specialty drinks around the holidays. They offer a variety of drinks not just coffee. The space is small however there a tables and chairs to enjoy your coffee. The ambiance is good energy! Woman owned business so thats a plus read more

This place is good! I've only been twice after a morning run. I thought the coffee was very tasty and you can tell they are good quality beans. I've had the breakfast sandwich twice, which is to die for! There is a gentleman who works here and I'm so sorry that I cannot remember his name at the top of my head, but he is extremely passionate about coffee and provides me great recommendations whenever I come by. There are far in a few coffee shops in Lemon Grove specifically, but this one is my favorite. read more

We stumbled upon this place by accident on a very hot day. We were pleasantly surprised not only by the great customer service but by how great everything tasted. We ordered: a matcha strawberry lemonade, an Oreo frappe and a matcha cookie. The drinks were very refreshing and the cookie was the perfect consistency. Even though we came in during a rush we didn't have to wait much to not only order but to get our drinks. This is definitely a place you want to stop by and visit. Talking to the owner made the wait go by faster and I can't remember if they had music playing or not. Overall the location has a very cute aesthetic. read more

Ok, I am probably the exact opposite of the people who typically frequent Elevated Coffee. I have never done a vegan/vegetarian option of anything in my life. Ask my 3 daughters, there is very little about me that is girly, and Elevated has a bit of a girly look. Yet, I have to say, this place is great. The coffee is fantastic, the service was the best I experienced on our trip to San Diego over the Thanksgiving break. It is a little harder to find, but completely worth the effort. The interior is so different from the strip mall exterior. It is comfortable and relaxing. Highly recommend. read more

Order: Elevated Iced Latte. Oat milk used. I was carpooling with a friend and he made a stop here. From the very beginning the staff was very welcoming. My friend picked the Elevated Iced Latte so I decided to try it too but with oat milk. You MUST try the Elevated Iced Latte. It's an entirely unique experience, that is hardly found around coffee shops. The foam has a nice consistency, and plays a major role in the drinking experience. First, the foam is not just foam, it's a nice cloudy foam with the right amount of viscosity to entertain your mouth. Second, Unlike other foam lattes where the foam will quickly be consumed at the beginning, fall apart and disappear into the drink or move out of your mouth when you take a sip, this foam remains present throughout the entire drinking experience and flows right into your mouth. You really have to be deliberate to leave no foam behind. See pics. Lastly, when you've consumed all of the drink and are just left with foam at the bottom of your cup, drinking the remaining foam is so pleasant it's like a reward. I definitely recommend trying this drink. - I think I've said the word foam too many times. read more

The lavender honey latte with bees knees and ice cubes that are coffee!! The barista recommended it and she was a killer krafter! The drink drank so fast I wanted to go back and buy another.
