    This place was so fun!! The cutie lady who took our order wasn't bothered by my friend and i's never ending questions! My extra sweet iced chai was wonderful and my friend had the dill pickle scone ?? crazy (sadly no pic) but she loved it

    Great staff and the coffee drinks are superb. I had an English Breakfast cold tea and for $4.25 a half glass of ice and 8oz, tops, of tea is highway robbery. Love them but not that price for what is about 39 cents of product. Just no value at all.

    Iced The Dandy aka Lavender Honey Latte, 16 oz, $5.75

    Came here late afternoon on Sunday. I was shocked at the new look of it. Last time I came was September 14th, 2019 with my dad. From my assumption, because of the 2 coffee roasters machines inside there was no more room for indoor seating. The door to get in...is for employees only, but they utilize it as the menu (nicely written). The prices are pretty good! You now walk up to the window to order. I do like that you can see into the space (seeing them make the drinks). They have a few tables for outdoor seating and some benches as well. Or you can take your coffee for a walk around the neighborhood. The workers are really kind! Last time, I got the Clark Griswold (I have no clue WHO that is) but this drink is flavored with Nutmeg + Nutella. At the time, I remembered it being a bit too strong (as in I'd prefer it sweeter) for me...but the flavors were good. I noticed that they have a veganized version of it on the menu as well! This time I went with an Iced 16 oz "The Dandy" which is Lavender + Honey Latte. This had a great honey flavor, but fell flat with the lavender (not prominent). 4/5. The price was really good though as it was $5.75! Would come back here again. Next time, I'd like to try a latte with their housemade vanilla syrup.

    Cute coffee shop in Mission Hills! They are a small coffee stall with 3 outdoor tables so they're great if you're on the go or need a quick pick me up. Besides coffee, they also have matcha and lemonade!

    Loved the vibe and a killer curtado! This is a new fav as I just moved downtown and will make this mission hills joint a regular stop.

    Metered street parking here is a bit hit or miss. 7-10 minutes is enough time to get in and out usually depending on if there is a long line. Staff are friendly, awesome, and fast. They have some outdoor seating. I usually get the Dandy and the Clark Griswold. Got a Strawberry Matcha on my most recent visit. All of their drinks have been great in the years I visited here

    This is a decent coffee window in the area, but I got a cappucino and it tasted super burnt, and took a really long time. There's a few chairs on the sidewalk but it's a bit of a busy street and not the most comfortable. I appreciated the mural though!

    Cute little coffe stand with great drinks! I got The Dandy (lavender honey latte) and my husband got the Goldfinch Fog. Both were delicious and reasonably priced!

    Great little coffee spot in Mission Hills. Very nice service. Coffee hit the spot just right. There are a few chairs outside if you want to sit down and take it easy for a couple of minutes.

    Best coffee I've had in SD so far. Loved the lavender iced coffee. As someone who enjoys coffee and is picky this is very good very authentic.

    I've been going to Heartwork since they opened in 2015. I lived in Mission Hills for years and remember when their shop used to be a closed down jewelry store. I remember watching the space slowly transform into a new business, and soon I realized it was going to be a coffee shop - what excellent good fortune to have an amazing craft coffee shop just a 5 min bike ride from my house! Once they opened, I started frequenting and fell in love with their incredible espresso. Their cappuccinos have a story to tell. They also have pastries available all the time which are local and delicious. During Covid, they restructured their business model and brought their roasting from a different location into their shop in Mission Hills. This changed the layout of their store and caused all seating to become outdoor seating. They now roast and create their coffee all in that sweet little space and guests are welcome to sit outside. I always seem to see the owner Sam when I'm in. He's so kind and always has a suggestion or something nice to say. He provides great service. It's so neat to see an owner be so hands on in the day to day operations My heart is with Heartwork. They are simply the best! Go check them out and support what is easily one of the best coffee shops in San Diego.

    Delicious coffee bar where you can pick up a drink to go or sit at one of the outdoor garden table/chairs to sip and enjoy your coffee. I loved their beans, it is medium bodied and not acidic at all. I like how they have a wide variety of custom syrups that you can add to your drink. Price is very reasonable for its location and the baristas are really nice. A lovely little coffee bar for a weekend cup of coffee!

It was so yummy and pleasing to the eye. Service was quick and accommodating when ordering (since it was my first time).

It's extra pretty if you add toppings like their super sweet mango. All of the scoops of ice cream were on the icier side but flavorful. Coconut was sweet and fantastically refreshing, while the taro was a bit more subtle but nutty and enjoyable. The vanilla was an old fashioned vanilla which was creamier than the other flavors but still definitely a bit icy. I would just get 3 scoops of coconut next time! The added mango on top was super sweet and soft, which contrasted drastically the meaty texture and very subdued flavor of the coconut pieces (maybe shouldn't have eaten it after that sweet mango!). They also have some unique Thai flavors of Lay's chips + special desserts (mango sticky rice, coconut pancakes, coconut pudding, etc.). I'd return for some more coconut ice cream and to try those special desserts! There are a few tables inside and more ornately decorated tables outside. No restrooms. Service was friendly. Fun little place to try new desserts, for a cute quick date, or grab and go for treats :)

Parking is a bit limited right out front, but there's usually street parking nearby if you don't mind a short walk. Overall, a dependable spot for really good coffee and a great local favorite.

It is a very small coffee shop that is really just a counter area without seating. When I walked up, there was one staff member working. He was friendly. They had a small menu of specialty coffee drinks listed for the holidays. It appears that they serve wine as well, as there was a list of wines by the glass on the same menu. I decided on the iced pistachio latte, as I absolutely love pistachio, and it was a bit of a warm day. I asked for nonfat milk, which is getting harder to come by at small coffee shops, so I was glad they could accommodate. I waited a couple minutes, as the staff had to leave to go get my requested nonfat milk from what appears to be a larger storage area. There are not seats in Coffee Culture, however, the small seating in the public market is quite cute and there was plenty of seating near the fountain. My drink was, unfortunately, just OK. It was a typical iced latte. It was slightly sweet and had no pistachio flavor at all. I'm guessing it was made with a simple pistachio syrup, and no real pistachio. I was a bit disappointed. If I were shopping in Old Town, I might stop in Coffee Culture for a quick coffee to go, but I would't order anything too fancy.
