Vanilla Bean Late
Robby G.

This place makes really bomb espresso. You can tell they train their staff how to pull a proper shot and properly steam milk. It's crazy how many places, especially in Escondido, overlook this simple matter. I've yet to be let down by this place. Can't recommend enough.

We ordered a strawberry matcha, matcha, acai bowl, and pandan pastry. Everything was good, I really liked the acai bowl. Cutest little spot in Escondido!!

Matcha einspanner, strawberry matcha
Alice Y.

This is a nice space to come and catch up with a friend or do some work in Escondido! There's a good amount of seating without feeling crowded in the space. Service was friendly and they were playing throwback songs that brought up all the nostalgia. I ordered the matcha einspanner which was a little more cream-heavy than I was expecting, but it also might just be because I've gotten used to double matchas with stronger matcha flavor haha. Overall it's a nice spot and would recommend visiting if you're in Escondido!

Cold brew with pistachio cold foam and ice latte
Anabell R.

Delicious! Great quality coffee and homemade cold foams. I was traveling to Escondido and just stumbled upon the coffee shop. I would definitely go back!

A neighborhood coffee shop with excellent coffee and matcha drinks. My husband and I have visited multiple times and usually visit around 7-9am. The service is friendly and we love their recommendations. A few favorites are the strawberry matcha, the dulce de leche latte with pumpkin cold foam, and the cinnamon bun. We haven't stayed too long in the store but there's plenty of open tables for work to get done. Great music choices as well.

Latte
siri g.

What a cute little café with such warm and friendly staff. The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming, which really adds to the overall experience. Even though there was a steady flow of people coming in and out, it wasn't difficult to find a place to sit. They have a nice mix of stools and tables that work well for studying or getting some work done. The latte was delicious, and I'll definitely be coming back the next time I'm in this neighborhood.

Almond Croissant and Decaf Mocha w/ Oatmilk
Cheryl-Ann C.

Went first thing in the morning as it was recommended by my coworker. It was great to arrive right when they opened as it's not busy yet. Very clean place. Had the Almond Croissant and Decaf Mocha with Oatmilk To Go. It was delicious! Will go again in the future and try their other items.

Banana matcha 10/10!
Jake C.

Randomly popped into this place and loved it! Very chill and relaxing inside. Also had a breakfast sandwich that was delicious. Banana matcha was 10/10. Everyone friendly. Highly recommend

I had originally went there with a couple of friends to catch up. The environment was completely like what you would expect from a coffee shop, it was calm, but I wouldn't say quiet, but there was light, chattering and soft music playing in the background. Service was amazing after ordering coffee would come out fresh and you would be able to smell it. if you are looking for a place to study, I would say this is one of the places I would recommend.

Honey expresso on Ice with Almond Milk.
Juan P.

This place is always spotless and super welcoming every time I visit. Today, I went with the honey organic espresso with almond milk, and it was the perfect choice for a cool, cloudy mid-50s morning. I've been here a few times now, and this drink might be my new favorite. I usually prefer my coffee iced, but there's something about a warm cup here that just hits differently. I expected it to be a little bitter since honey and espresso don't usually hide the bold flavor of the beans, but the balance was absolutely perfect -- the sweetness of the honey paired beautifully with the espresso. I'll definitely be ordering this again, and next time I'm planning to try it hot just to see how the flavor changes. My only small wish is that they'd open a little earlier for us early birds -- waiting until 7 a.m. can feel like forever when you're craving that first cup! Overall, an amazing spot with great vibes, delicious coffee, and friendly service. Highly recommend giving it a try!

Mocha and cortado
Emma B.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place considering I go at least once a week. I literally get excited to get coffee here every time because they never miss. Whether that's their customer service or drinks, they hit the spot every time. The mocha is what I always get, and I'm obsessed with the texture of the milk !! Like freakin velvet over here. I love the different seating too, the music being played, and the staff!!! I've been to so many coffee shops in Portland (which is supposed to be coffee land) and none of them are like good source.

I love the ambience here, but always feel a little meh about the coffee, but let me explain: I'm a…read morebold coffee person. I love a rich roast. Their coffee tends towards a brighter, citric flavor that reminds me very much of cold brew. Which I don't care for. But others might! So if a brighter, lighter flavor is what you enjoy (what up tea people) then this might be the place you're looking for. And again, I adore the vibe here. Probably the chillest work/read spot in all of Escondido. Parking can be rough if downtown is busy, but only if you're adamant about needing to be very close for mobility reasons etc. Otherwise you can usually find something walkable. Beautiful, open cafe with a lovely view of the small park across the street and downtown Esco.

The Service: The staff greeted me promptly and took my order without any issues. They were polite and efficient, although a little busy amongst themselves. The Coffee: Unfortunately, the latte was the biggest drawback--it tasted quite bitter and over-extracted. I'd love to make this my "regular" neighborhood spot, but the coffee quality needs to be more consistent for that to happen. The Atmosphere: It's a quiet environment, which was good for productivity. Great location and friendly service, but I'm hoping the espresso improves!

And picked up an almost croissant. They do not shelve non fat milk, but have oat and almond. So I went with oat. Two customers that came after me go thier drinks first. And when mine came up, it was lovely but not right. It was a cold mocha. They remade it. It was just a wee annoying, especially since I was coming here with the hopes of a mind blowing experience. The coffee was fine. The staff seem to know the local regulars and chat them up appropriately. The seating it still hard and uncomfortable. I'll try again one more time to see if hey flip my bippy. So far two stars for they way they interacted with other. One star for the pastry and the coffee mis up and late service was a - of stars. And my picky pastry folks (she knows who she is) would say it's not a true croissant, as there are cuts across the pastry... but it's buttery and flaky..

There were a few tables, and high top bar seating inside the location. I enjoyed a matcha latte with less sweetness, less ice, and with boba. The boba quality was great!

Both drinks come with an actual slice of tiramisu on top, which surprised me, l thought it would be more like a tiramisu flavored drink with hojicha or matcha mixed in. The tiramisu itself is really good, but personally I don't think it goes well with the drink. The texture of the cake while sipping the latte feels a little off. I also tried the nitro Vietnamese coffee. It was unusual because when you hear "Vietnamese coffee" you expect something strong, but this one was light and you can really taste the milk. I really enjoyed the bubble waffle series-especially the Oreo one. It's really good. The honey toast series was okay, nothing special. I got the honey toast with ice cream, and I remember honey toast being crispy but still easy to eat. This one wasn't crispy at all and the bread was tough. Overall, this place is reall good for matcha drinks.
