This was my first time at Home Coffee and it was packed! Not surprising since it was a Sunday and right next to a church. We ordered the iced banana latte and vanilla bean latte. The vanilla was perfect - you can tell the syrup is house-made! Personally, I wasn't the biggest fan of the banana latte - it was sweet but didn't have a strong banana flavor. If I'm in the area, I'd definitely stop by again to try other specialty drinks. There's plenty of indoor seating, and I really loved the decor and vibe. The employees were cheery and super sweet!
Pretty good coffee at decently reasonable prices. Came on a Saturday around 10 and it was busy. The coffee shop itself is a pretty large space indoors. They have a couple small tables for outside seating as well. The actual ordering counter is small and there were only two girls working. They did a great job but service was a bit slow just because of how busy it was. I got an iced americano and added their banana cold foam ($1). My partner got the banana matcha with almond milk (+$1). Total with tax came around $14. The foam itself was really sweet but did taste like natural banana flavor. It did make the Americano a bit sweeter than I was expecting but still enjoyable. My partner loved his matcha. They used a good amount of matcha so the color was perfect. You could really taste both the matcha and the banana. Located in the back of a shopping mall area so you have plenty of parking. I will say the surrounding area isn't the best but the shop itself is nice.
Home Coffee offers friendly service with a smile and a cozy, spacious environment to enjoy a cup of joe--perfect for hangouts and study. I ordered a delicious iced Salted Caramel Latte with oat milk. The sweetness from the caramel came through. The subtle nuttiness from the oat milk was present. The coffee had a nice and smooth flavor. Everything harmonized well in this drink. Well done, Home Coffee!
This coffee shop has a spacious, laid-back atmosphere with plenty of parking, making it a nice spot to relax or get some work done. The menu is on the smaller side, but they do offer a few specialty lattes. I ordered the iced horchata latte. It was okay, but the coffee itself didn't really stand out, and I was hoping for a stronger horchata flavor. Overall, it's a comfortable café with a nice vibe, though the drink didn't quite meet my expectations.
Love this coffee place located in National City. It is located in a shopping place with other businesses, next to a church with lots of parking. Place is big and has lots of tables where to sip uour coffee and/or work. Service is super fast, at least for a Friday at 11am. They have your regular coffee options plus some interesting Signature Drinks. They have a Charcoal Latte which has an interesting combination, really good but on a thick side of coffee. We ordered a regular Latte and their signature coffee Promise Land (with half the sweetener). It was delicious and with perfect touch of cinammon. They do offer some pastries.
When I'm in National City, Home Coffee is my go-to for coffee and to do work outside of the office. The servers are always friendly, and take care in making each drink. My favorite is the Promise Land, which is made with espresso, honey, milk, and cinnamon. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, but i really like the decor and vibe inside. It is very common to see students and work from home professionals posted up with a laptop. I've never waited long for a seat and I enjoy the wide variety of cafe music they play, especially the 80s classics station!
Nice server but this coffee shop is not for us. Coffee is lukewarm, chocolate croissant is stale- like many days old . They do not warm them up. Sorry- I do not recommend
A lot of past reviewers note a lack of urgency in the staff, distraction by their friends' conversation, and a lack of charging outlets indoors. I had a pretty good overall experience on my first visit to Home, and didn't experience any issue with the customer service at all. There was a short line when I arrived, so it took me about 5 minutes to order--not overly slow or annoying at all. I was greeted by a friendly cashier who took my order and I sat down nearby. While it's true that outlets indoors did appear few and far between, the seat itself was super comfy and could even recline. The interior aesthetic is comfortable and inviting, with calm whites, hints or green and brown, and plenty of space and seating. I worked for about 15 minutes on my laptop while waiting for a photoshoot I was hosting nearby. I ordered a cold brew to get a second quality check on the spot before leaving (I always do hot americano and cold brew first to check a new coffee spot's baseline). Both the americano and cold brew were really smooth, with balanced and consistent flavor profiles and a lot of depth. Good body on both, too. Overall, I give Home Coffee a 4.67/5. It's pretty solid on a lot of fronts, though I agree about the lack of outlets inside. Recommend checking out when looking for a good cup of coffee in National City.
We were craving Vietnamese coffee and found Home Coffee located in Sweetwater. The location is near LA fitness and I remember this place used to be an arcade center back in the early 1990s. We're glad that we found this place as they have a lot of selections of coffee. We tried the Vietnamese cold brew, banana cream latte and banana Matcha. The place inside is well kept and the staff members were very nice and welcoming. All the coffees we ordered were very refreshing. The sweetness is balanced and love the texture of the cream on each one of them. Price is also affordable. We will certainly stop by again next time.
The coffee is delicious! I love when they have speciality drinks. The baristas are always so friendly.
afternoon for a quick pick‑me‑up. They're running a February specials menu, so I ordered the strawberry matcha with oat milk and upgraded to ceremonial matcha (which costs extra). The matcha itself was okay, but pretty bitter -- even for me. It didn't seem fully mixed, so the bitterness was concentrated at the bottom. The strawberry cold foam was very minimal and the flavor was faint. The space, however, is nice and big with plenty of seating, which is great for groups. They also make drinks quickly, and there's plenty of parking, which is always a plus. Still on the hunt for that perfect matcha.
Stopped in to Home Coffee the other day on my way to work. Although the coffee was delicious, what stood out most was the incredible customer service. I unfortunately dropped my coffee in my car when leaving (bad day for anyone) but I desperately needed the energy boost so I went back in to re-purchase and the sweet barista remade it for me on the house. They also offered a rag to clean up if I needed it. They also wrote this sweet note on my cup. I will definitely be back! I got the Iced Lavender Latte with Oatmilk... delish!!
I wish I would've come here sooner ! I got their iced black coffee and can confidently say it's so good. When I found out it had charcoal, cocoa, and coconut oil, I was definitely on edge at first - not gonna lie, but one sip in and I was completely sold. I fell in love fast. It's bold, smooth, and surprisingly balanced. I think I'd been here once or twice a long time ago, but I honestly don't remember what I ordered back then. All I know is this drink had me hooked and already planning my next visit! The atmosphere is super nice and welcoming, and the space is big, open, and roomy it's perfect for hanging out or getting some work done. Definitely coming back for more!
Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the friendly staff, spacious seating, creative specialty drinks, and ample parking.

How have I not written a review for this place yet? My go-to is the Promised land latte, iced and with almond milk. The service is always great. The ladies at the counter are so friendly and the service is super quick. Today, I ordered their pumpkin cold foam and it did not disappoint. The cold foam mustache was totally worth every sip. It was the perfect balance of sweetness and coffee and dare I say a hint of saltiness? I don't know what it contained but it was definitely delicious. So much so that I have every intention of returning this week. The place is almost always busy when I go, but it only speaks volumes of how great they are. The atmosphere is welcoming and I love the clean aesthetic. read more
The space is ample with seating and full of students studying. This definitely is such a nice place to sit down and work/study. The staff greet you when you walk in. Both baristas I interacted with were kind and helpful. I ordered the ceremonial matcha and the galactic cold brew. The matcha was a 3/5 for me. There was a lot of powder at the bottom of the cup. The flavor was not strong. It was overpowered by the milk or too watered down. With better whisking, this could be a better drink. The galactic cold brew was sour. The cream on top was sweet and not overpowering. I enjoyed that flavor, but even with mixing because the sweetness isn't overpowering, the cold brew is still very sour and not something I'd prefer. This was a 2/5 for me Total for these two drinks was $17.40 and I was pretty disappointed. This wasn't worth the price to me. read more

This is a solid cafe! Being in a large shopping plaza, there is ample parking. Theres large windows and lots of space to work. It's very cooling with lots of plants and an "earthy" vibe. The benches are quite uncomfortable, but the padded chairs are great and cushy. The drinks were a hit/miss. The coffee was actually quite good and my Galactic Cold Brew kept me energized. I especially liked the cold foam on top. My bf got the Strawberry Dragonfruit Citrus Tea, which was quite disappointing. It tasted very watered down and lacked flavor, which is a bit ridiculous because saw them making it with Simply Lemonade :/. That's usually fine but...what am I paying close to $6 for if there was no flavor? :/ I'm also quite annoyed with the fact that there's no power outlets inside. It's set up as a working cafe (with large tables and an elongated large coworking area right in the middle), so...what are folks supposed to do when their devices die? It kinda feels like false advertising lol. Otherwise, service was great. I would come back for the coffee but probably not stay long. Please install some outlets, I beg you read more

On this Saturday morning I waited in line at 10:47 a.m. I scanned the QR code that said the coffee order would be ready by 11:05 a.m. I had issues with online ordering and ended up waiting in the long line and finally ordering my two coffees at 11: 12 a.m. At 11:23 a.m. I went to the pick up line just to see if I had missed my order being called. I saw my two hot cups in between several cold beverage cups! They still hadn't started my order! Needless to say, the wait in line then wait for the coffee was excessive. They only had two employees working and they weren't very efficient. Our coffees were delicious, which is why I returned, to Home Coffee, but 45 minutes is really unacceptable! May I suggest hiring more staff? They also could've been a little friendlier and apologetic, but they didn't seem to be concerned about the long line and long wait times. There was also a guy standing there talking with the two employees so maybe also don't be distracted with friends (he didn't seem to be working). read more
Immediately docking a star for no disclosure that this is a church cafe. Owned by the church. This should be on the company website clearly for people who want to go or not want to go because of it. Just seems misleading to not mention that. Anyway, let's get to the business at hand. The space was very cute. The interior was a bit small but there was a nice patio that said, the freeway noise was extremely loud from there. Now on to the food + drinks. I ordered the "Promise Land" latte and a chocolate muffin. Neither were bad, but they were just "meh" docking a second star for that. read more
Home has been on my list for a while now, but I'm hardly ever in the area. But today, I was! So I made sure I stopped in before my shift. I decided to order something from the seasonal menu. (Blueberry pancake latte) and when I tell you it was sooooo good! It's like if a blueberry poptart and coffee had a baby, but not too sweet or overwhelmingly blueberry. It was perfect! The staff was so sweet and welcoming. The place itself is huge with great natural lighting. There were a lot of people in there with laptops, I was surprised! Seems like a good place to do homework or gossip about work drama with the girlie pops. will definitely be back! read more

I ordered the Tahitian Vanilla Latte, which is one of the drinks they're known for. Overall it was pretty good, but I felt like my coffee was a little too warm when I first started drinking it for being an iced latte. It is a very aesthetic coffee shop with lots of tables, making it a good place to study. It can get very busy and loud, but doesn't feel too crowded due to how spacious the coffee shop is. There is plenty of parking as well. read more

Tried a coffee place I've never been to. The coffee was excellent, and the vibe is even better. The interior is super clean with plenty of open seating, plus they have a few tables outside with a big swing that's a great touch. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Definitely a new favorite in National City! read more

If you are a Macha person and this is your place, they have ceremonial Matcha I was really hesitant about what to order, but the staff was 10 out of 10 didn't feel rushed. They really helped me understand the difference between Matcha and ceremonial Matcha. Ended up with a dragon fruit ceremonial Macha, was not too sweet My husband is not a Matcha drinker or a coffee drinker and they also made him feel very comfortable with asking multiple questions. The ambience was perfect for solo or group study groups If I'm ever In San Diego, I would definitely be here again Unfortunately, I lost some of my glasses which was totally my fault but the staff was able to respond in a timely matter through text , use their number through their website that was the fastest response read more

This place has great customer service and really good coffee. The decor inside is very inviting and warm. I was stuck between the casita and pistachio latte. I asked the barista for their opinion and I was given a full breakdown, it was amazing. I went with the pistachio latte, 1/2 sweet, with almond milk. It was fantastic. The nutty flavor of the pistachio paired really well with the flavor of the espresso and the suggestion from the barista to go 1/2 sweet was perfect. My friend ordered the casita so, I got to try that as well. It was equally delicious. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and tried their new banana cream matcha! The matcha is definitely on the sweeter side and became too sweet to drink after a while, but I enjoyed the banana cream! Decently priced for the size but I wouldn't get it again. Cute and clean interior and service was fast and friendly read more
