Banana coffee and banana bread. Banana everything!
Shar M.

Stopped in for a quick cup of coffee and was pleasantly surprised at all of the wonderful flavors they had. Got a banana toffee crunch, Vietnamese iced coffee and some warm banana bread. Really cute restaurant super clean and modern. The prices were really great! Average price is around 7 to 8 dollars. This mall has been newly remodeled, so grab a coffee and take your time and walk around. It looks really good!

Cute coffee house with a lot of coffee options. I shared the coffee flight with a friend. We picked the following: - Brown Sugar Latte (3/5) - Strawberry Matcha (5/5) - White Truffle Tiramisu (4/5) - Caramel Machiatto (5/5) The flight was so cute and fun to share. I'll definitely be going back to try more options.

Best coffee ever. Such a cute little spot in Mira Mesa. Coffee was made super fast, and it was amazing! Can't wait to go back

Banana Toffee Latte
Alyson Lei M.

AMAZING coffee. Not too sweet and pretty strong. I love that they give you the option of regular or stronger coffee. Service is quick, and there's plenty of seats. Perfect place to study or have a little coffee date. Highly recommend the Banana Toffee!

I love the coffee here, but be fore warned, the coffee is very strong. It is so delicious that you want to chug the coffee but you have to restrain yourself. All of their coffees are amazing, they have such fun flavors. If you love Vietnamese coffee then you have to try this place. This place has easy parking, the noise levels are low and there is plenty of space to study or work! This spot is very aesthetic.

Ube Milk Matcha and Pandan Coconut Latte
Ka'uhane C.

Seems like a good place to study, but seating seems relatively limited. I'd suggest getting there early. Their ube milk matcha is probably one of my favorite beverages to date. The ube flavor pairs beautifully with the ceremonial matcha, and is so deliciously silky. My partner thoroughly enjoyed his pandan coconut latte as well. I believe their ube milk line is seasonal, but I really hope they decide to permanently add it to the menu.

I'd heard a lot about Em Coffee House on social media, so I decided to give it a try. For me, a traditional Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk should have a rich, thick texture. I ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee with an extra shot of espresso. The coffee itself was strong, which I liked, but it didn't have the signature creamy thickness that I usually expect from Vietnamese coffee. The shop isn't very large, but it's clean, organized, and has a comfortable atmosphere. The staff were friendly, and my drink was prepared quickly without much of a wait. The overall concept reminds me of Đá Viên in Orange County, although I think the quality and flavor are a little different. Overall, it was a pleasant visit, and if you're in the area, it's worth trying to see if it matches your taste.

Egg brulee & white truffle tiramisu coffee
Tiffany H.

We ordered the Egg brulee & white truffle tiramisu coffees. The egg brulee wasn't that sweet and had a strong egg flavor to the cream, which was delicious! The coffee is also pretty strong and would highly recommend for a boost. The white truffle tiramisu was a bit sweeter than the egg brulee but it honestly had the perfect level of sweetness to it. Would highly recommend ordering both flavors! Service was excellent! We received our orders quickly and the cashier was kind. There is a good amount of seating in the cafe and it was pretty packed with people working there on a Monday afternoon. A nice spot to do work or hang out with friends! Plenty of parking out in front in a lot with other shared businesses. Would recommend!

I ordered the banana toffee latte, and unfortunately, it wasn't what I was expecting. It lacked both the banana and toffee flavors and mostly just tasted like coffee. I was hoping for something with a little more flavor. I also ordered the banana bread, and it was very dry and hard. I could barely eat it, which was disappointing. The staff also wasn't very welcoming or friendly during my visit. That said, the coffee shop is very spacious and has a large menu with plenty of drinks to choose from. While this visit wasn't the best, I'd be willing to come back and give another drink a try, hoping for a better experience.

Flight
Kim S.

Cute coffee spot with plenty of options. You order at the counter, the servers were nice. We got a flight to share. We picked the strawberry matcha, caramel macchiato, pandan matcha and ube matcha.

Banana Matcha
Cari A.

Finally visited Em coffee house. It is located in Mira Mesa to the right of Seafood City Supermarket. My banana matcha was $8+ Pros: -free parking lot -lots of 2-seater tables -free WiFi -quick service to make drinks -my drink was delicious- they added slices of bananas on the top Cons: -n/a

Banana left, biscoff right

I can't believe it took me so long to try Em Coffee! The location is so convenient, with plenty of parking near the Seafood city. I ordered the White trufflemisu and it was not too sweet but still strong which was wonderful. The other drink I tried was the Banana Toffee Latte and this was the perfect sweetness level. I love how you can customize the level of coffee and get regular or strong. If you're looking for a cute, quiet coffee shop to catch up with a friend, or get some work done, there is plenty of room here to do it.

Ube Matcha & Coco Ube Lattes
Jyothi C.

Picked up two delicious drinks - the Coco Ube Latte and the Ube Matcha - and both were delicious, 5/5 drinks. Our service was great, and though it was semi-busy our drinks came out within 5-10mins. The cafe is spacious and modern with plenty of small tables if you want to hang out and study with your laptop for a few hours. Parking is easy in the adjacent lot. Will be back to explore the menu further!

Desserts: 5/5 We got a blood orange scone and a strawberry danish. The scone was warm and delicious. The orange essence was well infused. The danish was crispy and creamy. Everything was so picturesque. Food: 3/5 Unfortunately, the food was not the best. We got the smoked salmon sandwich which was not very flavorful. The salmon was also slimy. The pesto spread was good though. It was creamy and the artisan bread it was served had great variety. Ambiance: 5/5 This place is such super cute. When you walk in, the desserts all look super appetizing. The seating areas are super cute and the floral decor are stunning. Service: 5/5 It is an order then sit down establishment.

This was not our first time visiting Extraordinary Desserts, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Sadly, every time we come back, the service seems to get worse. The waiter's attitude and level of attention were unacceptable, and the overall customer service was simply not there. For a place that is supposed to be about enjoying beautiful desserts and having a nice experience, the quality of the service completely ruined our visit. Service, attention, and hospitality were all a zero.

Alex helped me choose my gelato flavors, and she was so patient, friendly, and kind. There were so many different gelato and sorbet flavors to choose from that it was honestly hard to pick! The moment I tasted them, I felt like I was back in Italy. The flavors were rich, layered, and complex--you could actually taste the different ingredients, rather than just tasting sugar like you sometimes do at other places. Everything was so delicious and thoughtfully made. Definitely a place I'd love to come back to!

He intentionally did it because the can was far and he had to reach over the gelato display for it. I called him out and he got a clean spoon. That took us back and we made sure to watch his every move. Absolutely disgusting. Other issues were the gelato wasn't smooth and creamy, as if it was old and had freezer burn. I had a scoop of the Stracciatella and Tiramisu (2 scoops on cone, $7.53 after tax). You also had to pay for the gelato before getting a sample or what you want, which is different from the norm and confusing. The workers repeated this to several people. Overall, would not return and don't recommend.

It was a warm day but we got there at 5:15pm and the sun was starting to go behind the downtown buildings. Negative: service. It seems if you are a regular, like the two tables near us, they chat it up and talk about how things are. If you aren't a regular, they just quickly come by and say "anything else?" the two times they came by. Im a huge water drinker so the carafe they brought only refilled our cups once. Never got another one until we were done and they came by asking about dessert. They weren't busy by any stretch on a Tuesday evening but apparently the frequent customers either tip really well or they prefer familiar faces. I assume the latter. So, I mean the food itself was great but service was not good. I mean we went when it was slow too and the host was talking it up with a frequent customer also asking about the changes recently to parking in their area nearby.... So, it puts this review as a 3/5.

So we decided on Nonna's for their variety of pastas and pizza. The evening was packed with people up and down the streets. However, when we arrived at Nonna's we only had to wait no more than a couple of minutes before being seated. We thought most italian places would provide some sort of complimentary bread, but this place did not. We ended up ordering the Carbonara, Fusilli Alla Vodka, Pappardelle, and Salsiccia pizza. Each were fantastic, but the family really enjoyed the Fusilli and the Pappardelle the most! The short rib meat was extremely tender and flavorful. Portions were a little smaller than expected, but it was enough to feed each of us with a couple slices of pizza to spare. Ambiance was nice and the staff was great. A drink we ordered was forgotten, but it's understandable since it was quite busy. Overall, great experience and glad we ended up at Nonna's even though it wasn't part of the batch of recommendations provided online. (Sorry forgot to take photos as we were so hungry and didn't realize it until after we ate!)
