The coffee here is bad specifically the espresso drinks. But it's a nice coworking spot. Espresso is not pulled correctly and milk was scorched. Not great for a place called the espresso bar. read more

Some of the best coffee I've ever had. Vanilla latte to die for. I came back the next day for round two! Bought some beans read more

Really delicious iced mocha with oatmilk that had a subtle but irresistible note in the espresso. Great spot to relax and do some work and the banana bread was fresh and tasty as well. Easily the best espresso drink I had traveling in San Diego. read more

Elixir has and always be top tier coffee in PB or in La Jolla . Their espresso machine is by far beautiful and futuristic. The espresso pulls are always consistently rich . The owner is a very nice person . They have good beans with flavor matched with some delicious treats and donuts . I recommend the matcha donut. read more

Delicious realistic desserts, giant crepes that were also amazing, nice staff, and cute place. Hawaiian latte was 10/10! Definitely want to come back to try more stuff!! read more

The place is really nice, as are the workers. It would be 5 stars if it wasn't so expensive. Which when you start calculating if it is worth the trip, then it's more of a luxury. Which is fine for some people, I am going to continue to go. Hopefully when the gelato opens the price will reflect the quality. read more

Kinda unfortunate location unless you happen to be getting a smog check next door but worth going to get a solid yummy coffee in pb. Slim pickins out here and their espresso is quality/ staff was very sweet. Cozy vibe inside - would work from here fs. read more

The best coffee place in the area, the service is great they helped me find what I was looking for, and the lemon cake is a must. Go check it out ! read more

Elixir Espresso Bar - Latte - Gelato Near Me - San Diego, California

Great spot to stop in for a quick, shot of espresso, tea or snack, or there's plenty of seating inside and out if you're looking for a coffee shop to sit at and get some work done. They have a ton of outlets and free Wi-Fi. Workers were all really nice and service was fast! Espresso was great, flavorful and not bitter, and they serve it with sparking water. They roast their own beans and sell them. read more

We stumbled across this place after eating at the PB fish shop, and boy oh boy, this was the best coffee I have ever had in a long time. The designs were super cute and the taste of the foam was really nice. I don't live in PB but if I ever do come back. Then I am definitely coming here. Thanks so much Elixir Coffee! read more

Elixir Espresso Bar - Raspberry mocha . Amazing!! - Gelato Near Me - San Diego, California

I'm a huge fan of this place! I've been here a couple of times now and typically go with a Viennese latte or an iced vanilla latte. Prices are a tad high but the quality of the coffee you'll get here is super high. I'll be back and would recommend! read more

I felt the coffee was very good! Way above average. The food was also good but I didn't try anything outstanding. Definitely would recommend the coffee and will be going back for more! read more

Our favorite comfy coffee place great decor gorgeous art and best leather couches ever nice and airy open and clean but best of all their desserts are fabulous raspberry mousse, chocolate mousse and mango cake are all fantastic and priced great too yum yum yum grow me a fat bum!!! read more

Delicious and cute coffee shop. I ordered a Mexican Mocha and was not only thrilled with the taste and temperature (made extra hot without even asking), but I was happily surprised to not be up-charged $.75 for being lactose intolerant and ordering oat milk. Highly recommend this spot. read more

My favorite place to have coffee and do work. The best staff, nicest environment, & good music. They have indoor seating and an outdoor patio. Outlets are in abundance. It does get really busy but i always find a seat. Their vegan donuts are 10/10 read more

Friendly service. Generous avocado toast, just missing a little seasoning and lemon juice. Cute place, but had to keep swatting flies away. Other baked goods looked good! read more

Came in the other day to the barista with a mouthful of food , not exactly sanitary. Americano was like $5 ... seems pretty high actually. Went to pick it up from the counter when it was ready and everything in that area smelled like garbage, or rather, a toilet. No need to go back with so many cafes to choose from in the area!:) read more

Omg loved this coffee shop! Clean with great chill vibe, great staff and perhaps the best dirty chai I've ever had! There's a cute swing at one of the tables that I had so much fun with :) read more

Best place in pacific beach area!! I really like the latte over there , the food was amazing and the staff were really friendly! read more

Super cute interior--lots of tables to get work done, a nice comfy couch, and cute decorations. I got a mocha and it was amazing. My mom said her matcha was one of the best she's ever had! They have a lot of gluten free pastries (we had a gluten free chocolate donut and red velvet macaron and they were delicious). And the service was great! read more

Wonderful atmosphere with skylights and natural lighting, superb coffee and desserts, amazing crêpes, reasonably priced, friendly and efficient service. Crêpes are served on sushi roll plates and are filling and delicious. We tried both the chicken pesto (with fresh basil leaves inside as well - a nice touch) and turkey crêpes, and the Mexican mocha made with fresh ground Mexican chocolate. The Turmeric Latte was also excellent as was the cappuccino, all made with their own blended Screaming Goat coffee. And, there is a dessert case to die for with a huge variety of exquisitely presented treats. Staff were friendly, extremely efficient and communicative. There are three different separate spaces to sit: the main dining area near the bar, a narrow side nook, and a back open air porch away from the street. There is a very comfortable sofa, and quite wonderfully and whimsically, one of the tables has a swing :-) And, it's all wonderfully clean and airy. read more

Delicious latte and cute vibes! Staff was very friendly. Will be coming back here again!

Lovely and well-designed coffee shop, where we've enjoyed nicely done espresso, perfect cappuccino and full of flavors avocado toasts with eggs, arugula and feta. Cute set up with both indoor and outdoor seating areas, including little swing inside. Took a bit of waiting time on the food, but nothing major, Attentive and friendly staff. read more

My fav cafe in PB area. Great ACTUAL macchiatos (not the made up Starbucks stuff). Their own coffee beans are very good, and the donuts and cakes are delicious, the strawberry mascarpone is one of my favorites. Very quaint place, perfect for a little cafe, clean and nice. Baristas were very nice too. I come here at least once a month. (I have only given out I think 1 five star ever, so this is a great review!) read more

This coffee shop was amazing. I took the banana bread with an iced coffee. Definitely will come back, service was great and the food looks delicious! Highly recommended read more

Why is it that the employees of a business with a bad attitude always destroy the reputation and economics of a good running business???? As an employer I'm always concern about this in my business!!! It happens all the time when you like to go to a coffee shop that is owned and operated by the same owner and you get a superb service in one location (La Jolla ) and horrible service in another (garnet ) location! All I wanted was to change a pastry that I purchased and reaction to exchange it was too rude and a bit snobby! I have retail stores also and the customers always come first...... Please No attitude , No anger reaction,No shows ..... if you care about your business Just give a simple smile and few dollars of loss with pay back in hundreds.... Perhaps the management will take this more seriously and teach those girls behind the counter that the business is more than just making a cappuccino or server a pastry! read more

Expresso bar, a variety of food choices, friendly staff, ambiance is alive ,must try in Pacific Beach,ca

Kind staff and really great study spot. Only thing is is not sure how fresh their baked goods are, I've come a couple days in a row and the same stuff seems to be sitting out from the day before. Should do a discount for day old baked goods. read more

Cold white mocha is the best I have tried Service is excellent, everybody smile as wide as they can Ambiance is really comfortable read more

Really delish coffee. Fun atmosphere. There is a dj playing music! I'm sure that is a weekend thing. Such a fun idea. Friendly staff. Will be back! read more

I was in this neighborhood repeatedly these past two weeks and needed a place to work while waiting - and I am so lucky Elixir Espresso Bar exists! The space is beautifully designed, decorated, and used. Lots of natural light, good people watching, a back patio that overlooks an unusual and striking-looking private residence (it has a curved shape and is so cute!), comfortable seating (even a swing?!?), and good-sized tables (I was able to fit my laptop, mouse, plate, and mug with ease). The food and drinks are delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. I have now had 5 of their drinks (2 iced, 3 hot), and 7 of their menu items (acai bowl, prosciutto baguette, veggie baguette, Nutella crepe, avocado toast, almond toast, vanilla donut) and they were all good. Also, the service is excellent - friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and quick. I wish I were in the area more often. read more

Amazing coffee! I wasn't a fan of it but here it's really delicious I'd even say the best in PB. The avocado toast is my favorite so far. The staff is super friendly and nice What I like even more than the coffee is the ambiance. I had a feeling that I'm having a breakfast at some art gallery and it's perfect place to work as they have free Wi-fi read more

Great ambiance and super friendly staff! I like how Elixir has a wide variety of seating options. There are stools by the windows, comfy chairs with small tables that are perfect for a chat. And indoor and outdoor tables that are perfect for working. There are some outlets, but they aren't everywhere. Prices are fancy coffee shop prices. And the sandwich was delicious! read more

I have been to this place three times. I usually get the cappuccino. The food is high quality. It is a casual atmosphere. There is usually available seating. The service is prompt and the people are friendly. read more

Walk too fast and you'll pass right by, but once inside, the space opens up into an inviting area perfect for chatting or getting some work done. The coffee? Bold and smooth--and more stars for the dessert pastries; they taste even better than they look (and they look *amazing*). Whether you're in the mood for a caffeine fix or a sweet treat, this is the kind of spot you'll want to come back to again and again. read more

Easily the best cup of coffee I've ever had. Every time I go to other coffee shops, I compare it to this place.
