    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!)

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was great and there was plenty of seating on a weekend morning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's plenty of indoor seating to hang out, plus some outdoor tables if you want fresh air.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The music is always on point, so the atmosphere is immaculate every single time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And you HAVE to try the Turkish coffee - it's not just a drink, it's a whole experience.

    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

    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. :(

    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!!

    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!

    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.

    I was looking for a coffee spot that served food and a friend recommended this place. It's got plenty of parking which is a plus. It's in a little Plaza with other restaurants next to it. I ordered the pistachio Latte iced. I was hoping to order some food, but their menu was kind of limited with mostly smaller fare, and there was nothing that sounded appetizing to me at the time. The person I was with did order some of the avocado toast, it did seem a bit pricey to me, but she said it was good. My latte was good, and I like that they crushed pistachios on the top. It also wasn't overly sweet with a ton of syrups and things, so I like that. The seating inside is very minimal, they do have a few spaces outside, but again not very much. I know this is very common with a lot of coffee places so I wasn't that's surprised. The cashier at the counter was very nice and she answered all of our questions, and had patience as it was our first time. I didn't feel like the menu was a bit small, not only food-wise, but the drinks as well. Since it is October I was also a bit surprised not to see more fall themed items, which is something a lot of other places to that I enjoy. Overall, if I were in the area, and I just wanted a quick coffee, I would go back.

He found Easy Does It, so we decided to check it out. The space felt like a college campus and library combined. It's really big, with lots of tables and chairs, but nothing felt cramped. There were cozy seating areas and even some couches, so it was easy to settle in for a while and was definitely the kind of place where people can chat, study, or work on their laptops. The vibe was perfect for what we needed, and the AC was blasting. There are two gender‑neutral bathrooms and plenty of parking, which was a nice bonus. I ordered the Matcha Cloud and swapped in oat milk. We found a spot to work at the back of the house. Honestly, this place is huge and a great spot to do work. For space and vibe, I'd give it 4 stars. My drink didn't taste memorable or like something I'd order again, but I think if I'm in the area I might be open to trying a different beverage. Overall, I'd give this place about 3.5 stars.
