Coffee is delicious, and you can tell they really care about both the quality and presentation of every drink. They make their syrups in-house and are happy to customize the sweetness level of any drink. While visiting San Diego, this became our go-to spot for morning coffee. Besides the Turkish coffee (highly recommended), I also tried the: - Orange Latte - Salted Pistachio Latte - Sparkling Orange Espresso Every drink was thoughtfully made, with unique and delicious flavors. The quality is consistently on point. This coffee shop is such a lovely addition to the neighborhood and will definitely stay on our coffee rotation whenever we're back in town. The staff is also incredibly nice, attentive, and welcoming. read more

Finjan Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

A friend and I found this place while looking for coffee shops. Wow, it was lovely. Food was great and service was excellent. We really enjoyed our time there. I was a little mix with the ambiance. We sat outside and the music was loud and definitely not to my liking, not for a morning cup of excellent coffee. We did ask for the volume to be lowered down. It was grated. If you are in this area and are looking for a unique coffee experience, consider them and share your reviews with us. Happy coffee time. read more

I finally got to try Finjan Coffee. I've passed by their original spot so many times but never actually went in. They opened a second location in Mission Valley inside the Tahini restaurant at Hazard Center, and I like that it's not in a super crowded plaza. It's kind of tucked away and you can grab a drink and food in the same place since they share the space. The vibe was calm and quiet, really good if you want to sit for a bit or study. Lighting was nice and not too harsh. The workers were super warm and welcoming. It felt like somewhere I'd come back to often. They have your usual coffee and tea menu, then a separate one for seasonal drinks and desserts. I took a minute to look through everything and ended up getting a seasonal matcha with cold foam and their Crunchy Knafeh. It was around $13 and comes in a small tray but it's definitely shareable. If you've never had knafeh before, it's basically a warm dessert with a crispy shredded pastry layer on top, soft melty cheese inside, and a light sugar syrup poured over it. This one had pistachios on top too. Trust me it works. When the matcha came out, I already knew it was going to be good just from the color. It was that deep green, not pale at all. First sip was so good. You get the cold foam first, then the matcha comes through smooth with a light sweetness from the date syrup. Nothing was too strong or too sweet, it just worked. I literally started texting people to try it because it felt like one of those drinks you don't forget. The knafeh came out warm and we were supposed to take it to go, but we just ate it there. It was gooey in the best way, the cheese was soft and not too heavy, and the top had that crunch with pistachios. Once we poured the syrup over it, everything came together. Not overly sweet, just really good and honestly kind of addicting. It's lowkey dangerous that they have both good matcha and desserts in one spot because you'll want both every time. Between the drinks, the food, and how nice the staff was, this was one of the better café experiences I've had in a while and I'd definitely come back. read more

Finjan coffee is a great addition to the SD coffee scene! I'd been to the other location and it was really good, so I was excited to try this one out. This spot is attached to a restaurant 'Tahini' so you can order both in the same spot. The entrance for finjan is on the northern side of the lot. I ordered the salted pistachio latte and it was one of the best lattes i've ever had. Really smooth and just the right amount of flavoring. I actually went back two days later to get the same thing because I was craving it again. I'd look forward to trying their matchas too! read more

Okay, the Turkish coffee with cardamom is amazing. I chose the non-sweetened option and the cardamom provided such an amazing aroma and flavor. I didn't try any of the food but the baklava looked really good. The service was fast and friendly. The only thing I did not like was how loud the music was and how cold it was in there. I had to go sit outside so I could read and because it was like an arctic tundra in the coffee shop. The outdoor seating area was pleasant, no music and no freezing cold air. read more

Finjan Coffee - Turkish Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

So excited another location opened just ten minutes away from me! Their coffee hours are a bit shorter than the Kearny Mesa location but I love the atmosphere no less. It's got a clean aesthetic with modest amount of indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered the crispy kunafah (ate it so fast we forgot to take a picture haha because it was THAT good) and the vanilla bean latte, which was exquisite. I'm in the area a lot so looking forward to coming back more often. Hoping they grow further and open up many more locations across the county and beyond. read more

Finjan Coffee - Vanilla Bean Latte with Oat Milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Finjan coffee shares a space with Tahini located in a strip mall with Food 4 Less and various restaurants. There were several people using their laptops and enjoying their coffees upon our arrival. We checked out their menu which included coffees and light bites as well as baklava. I mean who could resist baklava?! Fresh!!! And, it's right near the cash register, lol! We ordered a walnut latte and a vanilla bean latte and, of course, a walnut baklava and a pistachio baklava. No pictures of the baklava we scarfed them down!!! The lattes were delicious, so creamy and foamy. Like a big hug is a cup, what a treat!! Side note, did not get the name of the gal that helped us but she was very helpful in narrowing down which latte I should try. Can't wait to try other items!! read more

I'm so happy that Finjan Coffee is now located in Mission Valley! This is my go to spot in Kearny Mesa and one of the best coffee shops in San Diego. Today I had the pleasure of trying the Walnut Baklava Latte and the Monkey Toast. The latte had chunks of baklava making each sip a weekend treat. The latte was served at the right temperature and not too sweet which made this a 5/5 latte. The Monkey Toast was amazing with delicious blueberries, strawberries, bananas and honey drizzled on top 5/5. The ambiance is very upscale and the service was excellent. Definitely recommend Finjan Coffee and a great way to start the morning. read more

I came here to try their salted pistachio latte and it didn't disappoint. It's nice inside, but there is limited seating, so if it's busy you might need to sit on the tahini side which is right next to them. There was no line when I walked in and my drink was really good. read more

Finjan Coffee - Salted Pistachio Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

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!) read more

Gathering with friends at a very nice environment not dominated by the laptop campers, what a great thing! Very clean, nice original coffee mugs with the Arabic looking writing, so photogenic! My girlfriends and I enjoyed great coffee drinks in a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The colorful lamps make the difference for sure in terms of decor. I like that we could get our food from the Tahini restaurant next door and have it while drinking our coffees. Thanks for offering a great space to enjoy conversations. read more

Stopped by Finjan because I wanted Turkish coffee but realized the coffee comes in a very small cup so I opted for the hot pistachio latte while my husband go there iced version. They ran out of that original baklava so we tried their seasonal walnut baklava. Not too sweet and walnut wasn't overpowering it. Paired well with the latte very well. I love how they have their own in house syrup you can ask to adjust the sweetness. Love the decor and cups/plates used. Will be back to try other drink. read more

I don't drink coffee but am a sweets fanatic so stopped by Finjan to try the seasonal walnut baklava latte. The space is bright, airy and shared with the Tahini restaurant run by the same owners. As far as coffee shop locales go, this one didn't have the cozy, intimate nooks that I'd prefer if planning to stay a while but I was getting To Go so no biggie. There's a lot of cinnamon in this drink, so be sure you're a fan of that before ordering. The iced latte was unique, and I did enjoy some pleasing nutty, spiced notes that reminded me of baklava indeed. read more

Finjan Coffee - Pistachio latte & Turkish Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

So excited this coffee shop opened right by me! Been here a few times, including their grand opening weekend and finally decided to post a review. Finjan shares its space with a Mediterranean eatery named Tahini, I believe they're owned by the same owners? There was ample parking in the lot so parking was not an issue. Love the ambiance at the Finjan side, it's kind of like a soft boho modern vibe with a few tables. They will announce your order when it's ready on the intercom and there's outdoor seating making this pet friendly. My favorite drinks were their seasonal Walnut Baklava latte and their pistachio matcha. Their syrup is fresh and house made! I love that their drinks are not overly sweet like some cafes. I'm obsessed with their pistachio baklava, it is a little on the pricier side though! Just a heads up, there typically is a wait for their drinks to be made on the weekends. read more

I wanted to try the Turkish coffee, but I should've asked how it was in terms of its size since it doesn't state it. I got it thinking it'll be at least a 12oz-16oz cup but instead it was just like a shot of espresso. Very bold and flavorful with the cardamom. I should've got something else... maybe I'll come back again to try a different drink. I just really wasn't expecting a shot cup size. The cashier didn't even bother letting me know it was so small. Anyway, since it's a shared space with Tahini, there's more seating inside and outside, but by the cafe there's just a few. read more

This was a great coffee spot. This was my 2nd cup of the day and their flavors are always great. They are business partners with tahini. So you can get food Next Door. I would say this is more spacious than the other Clairemont spot because it combines both Tahini and the shop itself is well decorated, and I did have some trouble with WiFi, but it worked out in the end. Got the iced walnut latte and wanted to try their butternut latte later. read more

Hello February! Finjan Coffee is worth the hype! Location: There's another Finjan in Kearny Mesa, but this one was the closest to work. About a 5 minute drive so dangerously convenient. Parking on the lot with shared businesses. Wait time: Heads up - we ordered ahead of time to pick up but it doesn't mean grab-and-go. Everything is made from scratch and to order, so expect a short wait, but totally worth it. Ambiance: Super cute, cozy, and spotless. Beautiful interior with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating Check out the ceiling decor! Has a Bohemian-theme! Adds a lot of character (see pics). Perfect for coffee breaks, studying, dates, or just wanting to be productive. Coffee: Creamy, smooth and perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. You can really taste the roasted beans (in a good way). My co-workers enjoyed the Turkish coffee, pistachio latte, and vanilla bean latte. All raved about the creaminess and strong coffee bean flavor. Vegan-friendly: Plant-based milks available upon request. Woot! They also have vegan food options like Avocado toast and Fava bean toast. Both were fresh, filling, and flavorful. My co-worker enjoyed her Labne toast and found it refreshing and delicious. Our group also raved about the baklava. It was rich, flaky, and paired well with the coffee. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully made. Extras: Love that they have house-made syrups because you can taste the difference. Seasonal items are also displayed and staff are able to explain each as well. Service: Baristas were kind, knowledgeable, and patient. There weren't many customers but you can tell they take their time preparing each order hence the wait. You can't rush quality! Overall: 5 stars! This unique Middle Eastern coffee spot has a warm and inviting vibe. There is a reason why they have high ratings. A top contender in all of San Diego. read more

I was very happy to learn that Finjan Coffee had opened up a second location. Why do you ask? Well, they not only make terrific espresso based beverages and teas, but some great bites as well. I recently enjoyed a great cortado and what they call their monkey toast with peanut butter, bananas, berries, and honey. The toast was great and was relatively inexpensive at $8.50. The sourdough toast was well toasted and had good flavor. The peanut butter had that warm texture so it was silky and soft. The berries were fresh and the banana at that perfect ripeness, not too hard and not too soft. It was a tasty toast. The cortado had a delicious nutty quality to it. It was very smooth and offered a bold coffee flavor. I loved the signature Finjan porcelain container the cortado came served in. The crew that worked early Sunday morning were quite hip and upbeat. They were super friendly and helpful as well. It's nice to start the day with nice cup of coffee, but even better to start with a friendly good morning. read more

Came to this new location, although I prefer the Clairemont location because it feels more cozy with that coffee vibe. This time I had the Salted Pistachio Latte (hot) - it was on the sweeter side for me but it was good. I opted for the regular whole milk. I also had the regular baklava since they were out of the pistachio baklava - it was alright. The staff was friendly and if I'm not mistaken I think they used to work at the Clairemont location. The vibe here isn't it because there's too much natural light - it needs to be more "dimmed" to get in the mood, but that's just the vibe I want. It's a shared space with Tahini which explains the natural lighting. They should have added the colorful lighting to their (Finjan) side instead of using the yellow lighting. read more

Oh Finjan, how you always know what my latte-loving soul desperately must have before I even know it. Their drinks are always incredible - and I have had at least 10+ friends and family try them and absolutely agree with that so it's basically an objective fact. And I stand by that. But a knafeh cold foam?! I mean you really outdid yourself with that one. Incredible. Delicious. And on my mind for forever. Love the new space as well. So spacious and bright. read more

I've been to this new Finjan location a few times now since their opening, and I like this one a little better than the Kearny Mesa location. The workers here are super friendly and there's a lot of seating inside. I would highly recommend trying the vanilla bean latte or Moroccan mint tea cold brew, and grab a baklava to munch on. Parking is easy to find, which is a plus, and it's inside a Tahini (a great place to grab lunch!) read more

Tried their seasonal Knafeh foam cold brew. I'm probably gonna come back to try all their drinks. Busy shop around 11am but they were quick with my drink. Always welcoming staff, definitely coming back Drink was a 4.5/5. Strong but not too sweet with great flavor read more

I forgot to take a photo of my coffee. :( Came to try out the turkish coffee specifically. Small size but strong and delicious coffee made in sand. Delicious. I'll be back soon to have some more!

Tried Finjan again, as it is the only neighborhood coffee in my area and was a little let down.

Yes, Finjan is located inside Tahini restaurant. I was definitely confused at first but then found the little coffee shop tucked in the corner. Finjan has some unique and seasonal lattes such as a Walnut Baklava latte. This was by far my favorite. I've tried it hot and iced and both are great. IMO, best ordered hot.

I've now come back here multiple times since this location's opening, and I'm so glad to have a coffee spot that makes a proper latte. I love their orange and pistachio lattes, which are so cozy and delicious - definitely better hot but good either way.

I was nearby shopping & randomly stopped in to get coffee, and was met with really great service and an amazing drink! The barista, I think she said her name was Lana, was super super nice and chatted with me for a bit despite it being a little bit busy which I really appreciated. She recommended a "walnut baklava cold foam" on top of a latte and I was literally obsessed! I rarely write reviews but genuinely was so impressed with this place; from the beautiful Arabic calligraphy on the walls to the really nice employees, I really felt like I was in community here & I can't wait to go back. Super happy I came in today :)) read more
