    California Burrito
    Keisha B.

    Man, I had a California burrito from the place and it was one of the best burritos I've ever had and I'm not even a Cali burrito kinda girl. The carne was seasoned and the fries were crispy. I will say the guacamole/avocado was a tiny bit overpowering as it tasted like it had lime in it but it's still a 10/10 for me. The service was great and food was made quickly as busy as it was and came hot as well. Service was friendly too and their ingredients are fresh. My first time here, I actually had a Berry Nice smoothie and it wasn't anything to write home about but maybe the food is! Also, that place is wayyy larger in the inside than it appears from the outside.

    Fresh Pressed Orange Juice

    Tried this coffee shop for the first time since it's close to my work, and I'm so glad I did! The vibe is great with both indoor and outdoor seating options, perfect for relaxing or getting some work done. I ordered the freshly pressed orange juice--super refreshing and clearly made to order. I also had the grilled chicken sandwich on sourdough bread, and wow, the bread was perfectly crunchy and flavorful. On top of that, I got an açaí bowl topped with coconut flakes, peanut butter, and banana--super healthy and really hit the spot. The menu is packed with a variety of options, so I'm definitely coming back to try more!

    Turmeric latte look at that foam

    Today I stopped by higher ground coffee before I went to physical therapy at kaiser . They have their own private parking lot and you're not supposed to park there if you are going to kaiser but I went there and then I moved my car to the kaiser parking lot afterwards, which was kind of hassle, but I do understand. The coffee shop has great indoor and outdoor seating. They have a very wide variety of menu items and also things you can just grab and go. The guy who worked there was really nice. I got the turmeric latte with oat milk and I asked for no pepper and no ginger because sometimes you get those and it just burns your throat like crazy. I loved my turmeric latte. It tasted so good. I was so happy that I went there. I do wish that they had more pastries. They didn't have any out because they were closing in 10 minutes but he said they did have some chocolate croissants, almond croissants, and a chocolate bread. I don't really like croissants (Sorry French people) but just the latte was perfect. I highly recommend going. They have two locations so if you're going to kaiser for physical therapy it's perfect and then there's one on Frost Avenue also. Check out my YouTube video so you can see the place in action! Thanks for liking, sharing, and subscribing. https://youtu.be/H9oWMvZ8kV4

    Mexican coffee
    Sandy R.

    First time customer. Cute place with lots of plants! I ordered a plain bagel with cream cheese, specifically requested the bagel to be extra toasted... it wasn't. The Mexican Cofee was pretty good! Highly recommend it.

    This place is really good and staff is great. I'm surprised that the coffee and sandwiches are actually high quality. I got the Maui coffee & Mexican mocha - both solid. can't believe this is a hospital cafe!! I wish they had this in my area. A 1000/10

    Stopped here for a small coffee while waiting for a relative at the hospital for a procedure. This coffee shop is very large inside and if you needed to get work done while you wait there's plenty of spots and Wi-Fi. The coffee I ordered was really good, and they also have food. There are couches and TV inside. The gentleman who helped me was very polite and quick with the service.

    Still a great place for lunch It's now been open for a little while now and their food hasn't wavered. Still great quality and delicious tasting food. I still love getting their blackened chicken sandwich with bacon. Definitely stop here for lunch if you need your sandwich crave fix

    Food is great and fresh. Maddy and Jordan were very kind. Service with a smile! Maddy always remembers my name.

    Bacon and Egg breakfast sandwich on brioche
    Justin O.

    I wanted to try a new spot for my mobile office of the day, and I'll tell you, this place hits a home run in every possible way! First, the staff were great, I met Alex one of the owners, and he was the friendliest guy. Adrian, the gentleman ringing me up, was super upbeat and friendly. They recommended the classic bacon and egg sandwich on a brioche bun, so of course I took their suggestion. On the outside it doesn't look like much, but let me tell you, they use fresh and high quality ingredients. The bacon was cooked to perfection, and their house made aioli was phenomenal! It's a perfect well balanced, savory breakfast. This place has Wi-Fi, a wide seating area indoors and outdoors, chill music, and a wide selection of coffee and drinks. Perfect for my fellow remote workers.

It's in the heart of North Park bustling with shops, cafes, restaurants, and businesses. So needless to say we ordered two banana lattes which were so flavorful and delicious . The vibe is energetic with lots of chatter and energy. So, if you want that energizing environment both with coffee and socializing, "Lazy Eye" is the place to be. They also are a dog-friendly coffee shop. So, feel free to bring Fido also! I always love to try new places and support small businesses. They also sell merchandise here! So order a coffee and T -shirt both short and long sleeves plus sweatshirts as well to go! This is a place that is happy, upbeat, sells delicious coffee, food , and cute merchandise. I also enjoyed the upbeat music they were playing in the background. Come to "Lazy Eye" now!

You can either drive through or walk up to the counter, which is great if the drive-thru line is long. The staff are super friendly, and they have some really tasty in-house flavors, with seasonal options that rotate regularly. The coffee is excellent -- I always get mine half sweet, and they do a great job balancing the flavor. It's local, convenient, and surprisingly affordable for today's prices... under $5 for a latte, which is a total win. There's no indoor seating since it's a tiny booth, but there's plenty of parking if you want to walk up and grab your coffee. Overall, such a solid local coffee spot with friendly staff, creative flavors, and great value.

Ive brought friends here in the past and have always gotten positive feedback afterwards. Recently though, it feels like it's lost a little of its charm. The menu needs updating because with all the crossed out items on the board, it looks a little low end and like they're out of things. But they also always seem to be out of multiple items when I come these days. There's no food options any more most of the time, but the display cases remain. And seating... it feels like they got rid of 1-2 tables and the tables that were outside. There never seems to be enough seating so it's both cramped while also empty looking now. They have these side benches to sit on, but no one ever uses them because they're not super comfortable or good to chat with anyone with. Also, the bathroom. It's usually open, but twice now Ive been in there where there's zero toilet paper or the paper towel dispenser is out, but someone has just put a roll on top to tear at your own will. I loved this place so I hate saying more negative than good. The drinks remain amazing, but for a spot that is so popular, it's losing some of its own charm.
