    Explanation of the knafeh
    Stephanie T.

    I got the chance to try Finjān Coffee at a mobile booth they ran for an Eid event I attended. It was so delicious that I will absolutely seek out their shops whenever I get the chance! I tried their karak tea (a milk tea with spices and sugar) and it was absolutely delicious! I also tried their baklava (pistachio and walnut) and both were great. Their knafeh, however, was standout. I had never tried kanafeh before but I got to have it fresh and warm and it was divine! (It's a dessert with shredded phyllo dough, a cheesy base, a floral syrup, and pistachios--it was really lovely!)

    Came back to this coffee shop to try more of their drinks and food offerings! The honey cinnamon latte was refreshing and flavorful, especially if you like your drinks on the sweeter side. I also tried the crunchy knafeh, which was a great contrast of textures, with a salty sweet cheese filling. It was also quite big, easily shareable with 2-3 people. Service was great and there was plenty of seating on a weekend morning.

    Orange Latte

    This was my first time trying Finjan and I had a wonderful experience! I love an orange latte so when I saw it on the menu I knew I'd have to order. It might be one of the best orange lattes I've had to date. It wasn't overly sweet, but the orange flavor comes through so well without overpowering the coffee. I would highly recommend if you're looking to try something on the fruitier side. The drinks did take a while to be prepared, so it might not be the best spot if you're in a rush, but they truly seemed to be crafted with intention. They had a good amount of both indoor and outdoor seating which was nice as well and if you order to enjoy at the cafe, their glassware is very cute!

    Saw Finjan Matcha on my FYP and decided to give it a try, my first time ordering the knafeh cold foam matcha and it was made pretty standard. The second time I ordered was the best as the knafeh cold foam went well with the paru matcha and the color was incredible, with the pistachios on top being noticeable throughout the drink. I was hoping the third time around it would've been the same but was completely thrown off when I had a very milky matcha :( felt like there was no matcha in the drink and it just kinda tasted like I was drinking straight oatmilk for $8. The difference between my first, second, and third time getting the matcha is like a night & day difference and safe to say I won't be visiting again for the inconsistency. :(

    Stopped by mainly for their Knafeh Khishneh (crunchy) and it was absolutely amazing. Perfectly crispy on the outside, warm and soft inside, with just the right amount of sweetness - exactly how good kunafa is supposed to be. Fresh, rich, and super satisfying. They also have a pretty wide beverage menu and a lot of other food options, so I'm sure there's more worth trying, but the kunafa alone is reason enough to come here. Definitely recommend going if you're in the area.

    I literally have nothing bad to say about this place, it will forever be my favorite coffee spot of all time! It deserves more than five stars! This is the place I take everyone, especially out-of-town friends, because it's truly just that spot. You honestly can't order a bad drink on the menu and trust me, I've basically worked my way through all of them. Their seasonal drinks are always creative, fun, and actually worth trying. This is the kind of cafe where you venture out of your comfort zone and never regret it. I love the entire menu, but my forever favorite is the orange mocha. I'm telling you - orange coffee lovers, this is where you need to be. The balance of citrus and rich mocha is unreal. 10000/10 And my number one thing? The staff. Beyond friendly. Beyond welcoming. They make you feel like a regular even if it's your first time walking in. There's plenty of indoor seating to hang out, plus some outdoor tables if you want fresh air. The music is always on point, so the atmosphere is immaculate every single time. And you HAVE to try the Turkish coffee - it's not just a drink, it's a whole experience.

    First time here today and it's 5/5!!! First of all so thankful there's a lot of parking so that was great! The worker in the front she was so nice and asked if it was my first time so she helped me with some recommendations and even explained the menu. The drinks were so good. Not to sweet and you can actually taste the coffee. Would definitely be back so I can try more items!

    knafeh and Knafeh Cold Foam Cold Brew *SEASONAL SPECIAL*
    Natalie Y.

    knafeh was interesting! I like sweet cheese and crunch so this was like a dream come true. i also got the knafeh cream cold brew. the cold brew was very acidic but that sourness disappeared when mixed well with the salted knafeh cream! service was alright. it didnt really feel friendly to me... i most likely wouldnt want to go back because of how awkward/cold the environment seemed. made me feel like i didnt belong there :/

    Love this place I wish there was one in Northern California. I've tried to contact the owners to open a business here. This is a little bit farther out from the city, but it is worth to drive. All the drinks are very unique and good and the Knafeh was very well done We ordered the Yemeni tea which honestly wasn't the best (you should order from a Yemeni place for a perfect flavor) but otherwise I love this place and we always come here after eating at the restaurant next-door

    Walnut Baklawa Latte *SEASONAL SPECIAL*
    Catalina G.

    The coffee here is soo good and the walnut baklava is to die for HOWEVER this is genuinely the slowest coffee shop I have ever been to. I've been here twice now hoping the first time was a fluke and unfortunately it took 20+ minutes both times. The first time there was only 2 people before me. If they sped up the timing of the drinks I would've easily given it 5 stars. Ambiance is nice and peaceful, typical coffee shop.

    I finally made it to Finjan Coffee!! According to their website, Finjan is known for Specialty Coffee, Espresso, Cold Brew, Turkish Coffee, House Made Baklawa, and Knafeh Made to Order. Finjan Coffee is located in Kearny Mesa area of San Diego. I ordered: - Turkish Coffee with Nutella - Avocado Toast (Avocado, Arugula, Sliced Radish, Grape Tomatoes, Sea Salt, Aleppo Red Pepper Flakes, Balsamic Glaze, Lemon Slice Delicious!! This was my first time having Turkish Coffee, so I have nothing else to compare it to but it definitely made my day!! ENJOY!!

    Libby S.

    I stopped by Finjan's last weekend and ended up ordering a latte and the avocado toast. I only grabbed a photo of the coffee, but trust me the toast was massive. Way bigger than I expected and honestly so good. I had my heart set on the waffle, but they were out, so that just gives me an excuse to go back. The latte was fantastic too with such a smooth, balanced flavor. Definitely planning a return trip. I sat outside with my dogs, but my boyfriend went in and he said that it was really cool in there. Turkish designs and they have the typical Turkish coffee set up.

    This is a unique middle eastern coffee shop that serves authentic Turkish coffee (which is what I came specifically to try). I got Nutella Turkish coffee (with a side of milk), walnut baklava, monkey toast, and knafeh. The process to make the Turkish coffee is so cool! They add the coffee grounds and water (plus optional Nutella) to this cute little copper pot that they heat up in sand. I got a small side of milk (no charge!!) as I was worried that the coffee would be too strong as they serve it basically like a shot of espresso, but it was totally unnecessary. The coffee is super smooth & rich and doesn't need any milk to mellow it out. I recommend that you DO NOT stir the coffee when you get it, as it is served with the coffee grounds still at the bottom, or else you'll have to wait for it to all sink down again. The monkey toast was great, the fruit was fresh and it had a ton of peanut butter. I also enjoyed the baklava, perfect crunchy layers and not soggy at all. The knafeh is made to order and served warm. I recommend you eat it right away while its still gooey and soft! I would love to come back and try some of their other lattes! They had some really fun and interesting flavors.

The food is was great and one of my favorite spots when I'm craving middle eastern wraps- I did built your own pita so of course I like the ingredients. I loved my pita bread (it's much different from the Greek style if you haven't tried it before!) and the enjoyed the steak in particular. It had a lot of warming spices (nutmeg and cinnamon maybe?) and the flavor is pretty unique! I added bell peppers, pickled cucumbers, lettuce, tomato, red onion, tahini sauce, and garlic sauce. I also got a piece of falafel - I always gotta judge a place by their falafel and this one was crispy on the outside and soft in the inside which was perfect.

The staff is also consistently warm and kind, which makes the whole experience feel good from the moment you walk in. My only real frustration is with the wait times on online orders, and it's significant enough that I have to mention it. I work 10 min away and only get a 35-40 minute break. The app consistently quotes around 20 minutes- but honestly, 20 minutes shouldn't even be necessary. I've stood there and watched them make a bowl. It takes about two minutes. Other similar restaurants have my order ready in five minutes, consistently. So when the app quotes 20 and then I still end up waiting at the 20 minute mark on top of that - in a nearly empty restaurant - something is off. Today this happened (I hit the 20 min mark with no food), and I had to go up and ask them to make my order. This isn't a one-time thing either. It's happened enough times over the years that it genuinely deters me from coming here on my break. To their credit, there was a stretch where it seemed like they had it figured out, so I know they can do it. I just wish that consistency would stick. If you're not on a time crunch, absolutely go. The food alone is worth it. But if you're relying on a quoted pickup time, build in a buffer- a bigger one than you'd think you'd need.

    First Visit, Instant Fans!…read more We stopped in this afternoon with my wife and our four sons after a busy day out, looking for a quick meal--and The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill completely exceeded our expectations! The restaurant was spotlessly clean, and the service was impressively fast, which is no small feat with a hungry crew our size. But what really made our afternoon was Milab. She was incredibly nice and welcoming, and we couldn't help but notice that even when she wasn't processing customers, she was actively cleaning and keeping the place looking pristine. That kind of hustle and attention to detail really stands out. And the food? Absolutely delicious! Every single dish hit the mark. We came in as first-timers and left as definite regulars. Totally worth it, and we will absolutely be returning. If you're looking for great Mediterranean food with fast, friendly service in a clean environment, this is your spot! We ordered the Great Greek Gyro and it is a really good size. Our 3 and 5 yr old could share the next time. Our hungry 7 and 9 year old devoured them. Thanks, Ashley & Lindsey Head

She said yes, of course we can do that. We sat out on the patio, and when they brought out my plate, the first thing I noticed was that my fries were barely warm. I should have taken them back. My gyro rap was also a disappointment. The pita was thick, hard, and cold, like they didn't warm it up. You know how pita bread gets really flexible after it's warmed up.This was not it. I'd have to say it was the worst gyro meat that I've had in quite a while. It was also cold, sliced thin, had hardly any flavor, and was extremely dry, like it had been sliced earlier during the lunch rush. Needless to say I did not enjoy my meal. My friend said hers was just okay, except for they were little skimpy on the chicken and the fact that I found the piece of hers in her salad. All of this for a mere.$40.
