    Cute cafe in RB. They have a kiosk to order or you can order at the cashier counter. I ordered the bagel lox and the bacon havarti. The bacon havarti was a piping hot sandwich. It came with thin slices of crispy bacon which I appreciated. This was a smaller sandwich for $8.99. This sandwich had a mild flavor, I needed to add some hot sauce to it. The bagel and lox was an everything bagel filled generously with cream cheese and salmon. $10.99. It had capers and red onions too. I loved it and will order this again. Many options here. Service was good and prices were reasonable. Great place for friends to meet up for coffee and a bite to eat.

    First time here and I love it! It was busy in a good way since I already knew it would be good even before getting my meal. I didn't wait long to order or receive my sandwich and the Allen's tuna was fresh and delicious. I customized it without greens and changed the bread but the cashier was very accommodating and friendly. It was robust and they definitely don't skimp on the tuna and avocado. I got the small but it was very filling. The decor and vibe are nice too. They even have a little library for readers. What a cozy fresh cafe I just found out about. I will definitely be back!

    Nutella waffle

    This place was great! Food came out quick. They're very nice behind the counter very clean and the food was amazing. My son got the Nutella waffle I got a breakfast sandwich. Very pleased with everything will be back for sure.

    Absolutely charming place with plenty of seating for the steady stream of customers who came. The service was prompt and the barista was very kind. I loved the selection of coffees and food, even though I only got an almond milk latte. It was super smooth, exactly how I like it. Wonderful place to visit with friends and enjoy a coffee, or more.

    Breakfast Club

    Very clean cafe! The community library was cute where you can take and leave a book. I got the breakfast club w/ croissant, and it was pretty solid. The egg part was not my favorite because I'm not a fan of thick type of eggs like this, but the rest of it twas yummys.

    Hey Honey Burrata Prosciutto & Fig

    Came here for breakfast around 9:00 AM and had a really smooth experience overall. Parking was easy to find, and the line moved quickly--always a plus when you're hungry in the morning. They offer both outdoor and indoor seating, but since it was a bit cold, we chose to sit inside. Seating indoors is somewhat limited, but we were able to grab a spot without much trouble. We ordered two different toasts, and both were so good--definitely the highlight. Each was around $13, which felt reasonable for the quality and portion. I also tried their unique PB latte, which was surprisingly delicious, along with a regular latte that was just as solid. Bonus points for the cute vibe--they also sell flower bouquets and other small items, which adds a nice touch to the space. Overall, I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area again.

    Great cafe to check out! When you order at the counter, they hand you a buzzer for pickup, which makes the process super easy. There's a good amount of indoor seating and a few tables outside if you want some fresh air. The menu has so many great options and plenty of variety! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere inside felt warm and welcoming! I loved the decor, and I thought it was such a sweet touch that they had children's books donated by the community! I ordered the Breakfast Club and the Honey Cinnamon Oat Milk Cold Brew, both were amazing!! Such a rad spot, and I'd definitely recommend it to others!

    Tuscany Turkey sandwich

    I love this place. It's so close to home and always hits. The Tuscany turkey is definitely my favorite with those sun-dried tomatoes and their brown sugar iced shaken espresso is better than Starbucks. I would be here more often but I can't shovel out $25 for breakfast all the time lol

    This is a must try, and when you do, you will come back! I'll tell you what it's not often that I leave a review for a place, but this little gem is tucked away right off the 15 before reaching Escondido from Downtown. The first three things that came to mind after dining here were high quality ingredients, the customer experience/ambiance, and attention to detail. Eddie who I believe is the gentleman who runs the place was my "cashier" he provided the two recommendations photographed below (I am not a photographer) but I can tell you they were both out of this world. The Prosciutto & Fig, Toast and the Allen's Tuna Cool and Tasty. The staff was warm and inviting, and though this is a coffee shop, they came around table to table, customer to customer and asked how they were doing, and if there was anything they could do to make the experience better. You just don't see that in a coffee shop. This place is an entire experience and it's clearly built around highly effective culture. I will drive out of my way to come here, I discovered this place on a whim and will now be regular. If you get a chance, whether you're a local, or someone just visiting "Cali" give this place a try you won't regret it, ask Eddie about his story of how this place got started with him and his three daughters. I'd be willing to bet you'll add it to your rotation and become a regular yourself.

    2 inch ball of ice in my Frappuccino
    Rose S.

    Has been kinda disappointing the last few visits. They've been forgetting ingredients in certain items when I order to-go. When I brought up the issue at my next visit, they had poor customer service toward a resolution. I just got reprimanded that I should have shared the issue on the same day, which seems pointless since I took it to go so what difference does it make? I was literally back there the next day. Today, my drink was not blended and had a solid 2 inch ball of ice in my cup. This isn't the first time I've gotten a drink like this smh

    siri g.

    I really wanted to like this place. The person who took my order was very kind and friendly, which made me feel welcome. Unfortunately, the latte was a bit disappointing, and they also didn't have any "for here" cups, which was another letdown. I'd still be open to coming back to try the food menu and hopefully have a better experience with the latte next time.

    Do they make their cinnamon rolls in house?

    Is your acai served frozen or is it just blended?

    Would it be ok to bring a laptop and knock out some work here after ordering? I don't want to impose if there's still capacity restrictions! Thanks!

    Yes that would be totally fine! We have free wifi for customers so you can hang out as long as you’d like!

    Hi! What kind of vegan pastries and food do they offer?

    They offer vegetarian options but you can alter things to get no cheese and such. they do have milk alternatives. they also have smoothies and açaí bowls!

Seating took a little while after opening, likely because they stagger new parties to avoid overwhelming the kitchen with orders all at once.

The food menu was just as fun and whimsical, and the waitstaff were all dressed to match the theme. Everyone was efficient, friendly, and helpful. We tried the soufflé pancakes, which were good, though they weren't quite as fluffy and jiggly as Japanese soufflé pancakes. They were also quite sweet on their own, so we didn't really need the syrup. We also ordered the cheese fondue plate, which came with steamed vegetables, kielbasa, and bread cubes--a really fun concept. Overall, the atmosphere is beautiful, playful, and definitely part of the experience. I'd happily come back if I'm in the area, especially if there isn't a long wait for a table.

The moment you step inside, the bi-level space makes a striking impression with its mid-century accents, exposed brick, and warm, moody lighting. It manages to balance a lively, energetic atmosphere with an effortless chicness that feels tailored for a memorable night out. The happy hour here is an absolute standout, featuring an expansive array of creative food options and crafted drinks. The menu brings an inventive Asian fusion twist to bar bites, offering flavor-forward small plates that pair seamlessly with the beverage program. The drinks deserve equal applause: the craft cocktails are meticulously balanced, and the signature ube-inspired cocktails are as vibrant and distinct as they are delicious. Adding to the venue's overall charm is the live music program. Catching live jazz, soul, and blues sets elevates the entire experience from a simple dinner run into a full sensory event. The music creates a vibrant, soulful backdrop without overpowering table conversation, striking just the right rhythm for intimate catch-ups or energetic group gatherings. Whether you are dropping in for a quick drink, indulging in a multi-dish happy hour spread, or lingering late for the live tunes and exceptional cocktails, Books & Records captures everything that makes CS Hospitality's concepts so special. It is a stylish, fun, and flavorful addition to San Diego's dining scene.
