    Strawberry & lavendar latte & caramel iced coffee
    Lisa G.

    Looking for a new coffee spot and found this little place. Located in a busy shopping center on Broadway near House of pancakes. Friendly and helpful barista! They have a menu up and a pamphlet with more information on what they serve. They have many options coffee and latte flavors and do vegan dessert and some breakfast items. Dessert made in house. I had them Make me a strawberry & lavender iced latte and wow it was delicious. It is my custom signature drink. And they did good! My Husband had an iced coffee with hints of salted caramel and a splash of milk. Nice little sitting area to eat. Cute and cozy. He loved it!!! We will definitely come back again.

    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.

    This coffee shop is cozy and cute. I got the elevated and focused latte it was smooth and comforting. My friend got the concha that came with a butter and said it was good too. We will definitely be back. Staff are very friendly.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Non caffeinated cookies and cream drink with elevated pumpkin cold brew

    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.

    Stopped by today wanted to try a new coffee shop, trying to find a good latte around me. I came across elevated coffee. I went ahead and got the elevated latte and a pastry they were both were very good. The employees were also very sweet so I will deff be back.

    Coffee, concoctions - perfection

    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~!

    Elevated Ice Latte partially consumed. Notice how foam is still present.

    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.

    This is such a cute cafe! The service is great and quick. The baked goods are so good and the coffee is great. It's a nice place to study or catch up with folks. So glad I came across this cute spot.

    Oat Milk Vanilla Latte
    Maria B.

    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

    I love this coffee shop so much! The vibe is always amazing, and the coffee is consistently so good. I first started coming here when I moved to the area, and it has quickly become my favorite coffee shop. My go-to drink is the Honey & Oat Latte. It's seriously delicious, and they have such an incredible variety of drinks, there's always something new to try. The pastries are also sooo good. Do yourself a favor and try the elevated pastries. You won't regret it! Also, shoutout to my favorite baristas, Grayson and Jules. They're the best and always make the experience even better

I was on my way to church and needed an early cup and was surprised how many shops were not open at 7 AM. I'm sure I could have found a Starbucks but that's always reserved for a last resort. Big props to this spot being open early on a Sunday morning, so I could make it to church prayed up and fully caffeinated. The barista opened right on time (7 AM) I loved how friendly she was for it being that early, and she got me my drink within 3-4 minutes. I am not a big coffee drive-thru guy, but if I lived in the area, especially knowing it is veteran owned, I might become one. Thanks guys and best of luck!

I've had Red White and Badass Brew one other time after my husband raved about this cookies and cream latte he got here. It's a small, local, veteran owned shop, which honestly makes supporting it feel even better. So, I thought getting his favorite drink would help, but turns out that was a seasonal winter drink... please bring it back, it was sooo good. I got in line around 8:30 and there were two cars in front of me. This place is so small and cute, I actually used to work in one of these drive-thru kiosk style cafes so I didn't mind the short wait at all as usually its only one or two people working in there. I do wish they had a menu visible from the line because I couldn't decide what I wanted while waiting. The only things visible were the specials like an avocado toast and a "no lucks given" drink. I ended up pulling up the menu on my phone which works, but it would be more convenient if they had something displayed out front like a sandwich board or something. The employee was incredible, super friendly, my order was taken quick and my drink came out even quicker. It is a little on the pricier side for a cup of coffee but you are supporting a local business. With tip it came out to over $9 for a regular size. I ordered the no lucks given, which is a chocolate Irish cream latte, and swapped to oat milk. My first sip was amazing, a medium dark roast that wasn't bitter at all with a rich chocolate flavor. You could see the chocolate coating the walls of the cup and I'm pretty sure there was a cold foam on top that made it extra creamy. The overall drink was smooth and well balanced, just a little too sweet for my liking but that's something I can adjust next time. I did have a kind of odd moment though. My second sip was great until I got hit with a sudden punch of salt. Like a full on salt crystal just melted on my tongue for a good 10 seconds. It was strong and definitely woke me up... which I guess is what the coffee was supposed to do, I just didn't expect a surprise salt bomb to help with that. After that I checked my drink and everything looked fine and the rest of it tasted great. Overall I'll definitely be back. The service was great, the drink was solid, and I love supporting a spot like this. I can't wait to come here more often, and hopefully one day come back with my husband when comes home from deployment, with his cookies and cream drink back on the menu.

I like the roasting profile they use, and for a while, they've stocked a Costa Rica Sonora Black-Honey Natural that is just fantastic.

So much space, friendly staff, reasonable prices, with a bunch of gluten-free and vegan options when it comes to food. Plenty of parking, outdoor seating as well, and even when they were busy, I think I did not wait more than five minutes for my drink. I chose to use their honey syrup instead of regular honey, and was not disappointed with my iced oatmilk latte also, I have to point out something you don't typically see at a lot of coffee shops.
