Great start to the day begins with great coffee brewed here! They also sell the standard and seasonal coffee flavors. They provided a lavender chai latte that was delicious and sweet! You can also place your order online. They also have daily free options. The staff here is friendly also. There are a few tables outside. Parking can be a little tight here on the weekends. read more

My friend has gotten me takeout from Honey Haven multiple times before, and I've always enjoyed it. Today, I checked the place out for myself. So here goes: The coffee shop itself was small. No seating inside, but they had three tables out in front. They made the space they had super cute. It even has a chandelier. Love it. The barista was super customer friendly and attentive. I ordered their Lavendar Matcha iced with oatmilk. It was soooo delicious and creamy! It was sweet but not too sweet. I also got a breakfast burrito - the What-I-Need. I do love a burrito with fries in it haha! Although the burrito is $16, it was huge and comes with a side of home fries. Everything was tasty! They did have some seasonal specials which included a Coconut Cloud Matcha that I need to try before they switch up the seasonal menu. I think I found my new go-to neighborhood coffee spot! Definitely recommend if you just wanna grab and go! read more

If you like sweeter coffee this is your place! I was craving a sweet drink and the banana bread latte was perfect! You still get the flavor of the coffee but the brown sugar foam was creamy and sweet! We also got a hass-hash breakfast burrito that is my new favorite! It had a crispy outside and flavorful inside. It came with bacon and sausage which were not greasy at all. To order inside, it is a bit smaller to where only a few people fit at a time. Although, they are really fast with brining out your order. We waited around 10 minutes for our food and drinks. Seating is a little tricker here, as they only have outdoor seating. The decoration is simple with a main wall displaying Honey Haven. Perfect for taking an aesthetic photo of your coffee! read more

I am absolutely obsessed with this spot! My friends and I stumbled upon this coffee shop after our hike at Cowles Mountain for sunrise. I have to say this is one of the best banana bread lattes I have ever had in San Diego, and I claimed to be quite the connoisseur myself. The latte was perfectly sweet and did indeed taste like liquid banana bread. I will have to go back just to try more of their menu and they're amazing looking and smelling food items. The staff was also very sweet and even though the shop was small it's the perfect spot post hike or if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Stopped by here thinking we'd get a coffee or a pastry but they had a full breakfast and lunch menu. We had the chicken quinoa bowl, it was delicious. Large size and very healthy! Staff was very kind and attentive. Highly recommend stopping by! read more

I have been here several times and I don't know how I have not written a review yet. I LOVE this place so much. Syrups are house made and coffee are perfect each time. My favorite is the cookie butter latte. The food is delicious from there too. The place is small, only outdoor seating. The service is fast and everyone is always so nice and friendly. I don't go to this place for a while but then I when I do I go through my strong phase of it. It's one of the best coffee shops that checks off all my boxes (as a coffee connoisseur) read more

Sooooo yummy and flavorful!! Loved the coffee and especially that it didn't taste burnt. Not sure what kind of a roast they use but it was delicious. Food portions are huge for the price so we had leftovers! Everyone was also so sweet working (even with the long lines). Fortunately you can mobile order so makes it so much easier! read more

Honey Haven - Hass-Hash Breakfast Burrito; Hot Bumble Latte; Iced Bumble Latte; Hot Vanilla Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Surprised to find I haven't written a review of Honey Haven yet as it is hands down my favorite local coffee shop! Not a coffee snob but know what I like and have brought & recommended to folks who are and none of us have ever been disappointed. As others mentioned it is more of a walk up because there are only 3 outdoor tables, but I've never had difficulty grabbing one and worth it if you can because the view is Cowles Mountain literally across the street. For a walk up in a strip mall the interior is very cute and cozy and the service is always very warm and friendly. The coffee is fantastic. My favorite lattes are the Iced Bumble (salted caramel & brown sugar) and The Queen hot or iced (w/coconut cream & cinnamon). They have a surprisingly extensive menu that I'm meaning to try more items on as both breakfast & lunch items all sound delicious. Since I frequent very often, I'm mostly grab and go and will often pick up a bakery item. The cinnamon roll is amazing by the way. Not super dense, but very light & flaky almost like a cronut & just tried the tropical danish which had a lilikoi center topped with flakes of toasted coconut, so good. Have tried the French onion soup, also very good and the avocado toast has a super generous portion of avocado. Bonus I've been coming here for a few years now and not once have they ever gotten my order wrong or made anything subpar. read more

Talk about a good coffee spot! Possibly found a new favorite? Nowadays it's hard to find a coffee spot that makes their own syrups and I belieeeeeeve this place does that? Someone correct me if I'm wrong. We tried a few drinks (the Angel iced latte half sweetened , Mexican cold brew and Cookie Butter latte) all delicious!! Small location, a few tables outside for 2-4 people but best if you grab and go. The menu is extensive enough where most likely anyone can find something they like. The chilaquiles, bruschetta and breakfast burger were all hits. Staff is friendly and they offer military discount, always a plus! Will definitely be back to try more! read more

What can I say about David. He always makes my drink beyond amazing! I get excited when I walk in and see his smiling face, knowing my drink will be delicious and his attention to detail for my food order will be done right. Can we also talk about the cooks!! Man, they have got their culinary skills down! I've tried almost the whole menu and everything has been great! Which is rare to find. Posting their haven salad (the person couldn't wait for a pic, so pic is of it half eaten) and a chicken pesto sub sweet potato fries. Also, I'm not an arugula fan but both these dishes have it and make it taste good! read more

This is a great place to go before or after hiking Cowles Mountain. We went here after our hike and I got an iced coconut vanilla pandan latte and it was delicious and creamy.

I'll be back for sure! read more

WOW this review is LONG overdue! Honey Haven is hands down one of my favorite coffee shops in San Diego. From the amazing staff to the best lattes (Iced Queen Lattee for the win), this place is my go-to. I always recommend Honey Haven to friends, and I've already converted at least six people who now call it their favorite coffee spot too. The food is just as good as the drinks. They serve all-day breakfast, sandwiches, and their potato rolled tacos (drool). I've never had anything here that I wouldn't happily order again. The prices are super reasonable, and the vibe is cozy and cute, right across from Cowles Mountain. They've got pastries, plenty of gluten-free options, and all the milk choices -- regular, oat, almond, and coconut. Hallelujah! I can't stand when coffee shops only have one or two milk options. My go-to order: an Iced Queen Lattee, sub almond milk, and add coconut cold foam. You can thank me later! I almost didn't want to write this because I don't want it to get too crazy busy, but Honey Haven absolutely deserves all the hype and love. read more

Delicious handcrafted coffee drinks and wholesome breakfast and lunch options. Everything I've tried here has been phenomenal.

I suspect that Honey Haven Coffee in San Carlos at Golfcrest Drive and Navajo is mostly known for its breakfast and coffees. However, today, I discovered that it should be a Philly cheesesteak mecca for San Diego. The ambience, cute. Service, spot on, impeccable, amazing. Always busy, constant stream of customers. This was my first time eating there after driving by a thousand times, I'm sure. Even though it was breakfast time, I decided to avail myself of their Philly cheesesteak sandwich, complete with melted cheese, onions, mushrooms on a hoagie roll. I wasn't disappointed. The beef was perfectly cooked, hot and delicious, slightly crispy around the edges as it should be, the cheese melted... The picture will say 1000 words! Honey Haven for breakfast and definitely for lunch sandwiches. Try it out. read more

So close but so far. Almost everything here is really good. But something is consistently off with the steak. Every time I order a steak dish (which is my go-to anywhere), there are several pieces that are so hard or chewy they're basically inedible. I've kept giving it another shot, hoping it was a one-off, but this was my fourth steak meal here with the same issue. If they could fix this, it would be a 10/10 spot. Service and ambiance is great. read more

I really liked this place as it has a bit of a different menu than other coffee places near by with flavors like pandan and food like chicken and waffles and breakfast burritos. There are basically only tables outside so it's better if it's to go or at least nice weather. Not a place to go work. My boyfriend had the Bumble coffee(salted caramel brown sugar) and I had the Queen(cinnamon, coconut cream) and both were delicious and not too sweet. read more

Heading to San Diego Elks for a seminar and needed coffee!! Found Honey Haven and what a find! Menu is amazing I went with the carne asada breakfast burro and honey latte. First coffee shop I have found with coconut sugar so delicious and better for us too! I live in Esco but will definitely make the drive again. My cashier Molly was friendly and patient as I stared open mouthed at all food selections. It is in a strip mall so hey can't be too picky on ambiance. Tables are wonky but the music is good and it's San Diego so always beautiful!! read more

I love this place!! The lavender latte is absolutely delicious. I've had their zucchini bread, which I believe is both vegan and gluten-free, and while neither of those components are especially important or necessary for me, it was super tasty. Today I tried the steak quinoa bowl. Yes!!!! Not only did it taste amazing, it was gorgeous with so many fresh ingredients plus it was enormous. Totally worth the price! read more

I will NEVER return! I called in advance to order for pick up. Despite the cashier having a little attitude, I still left a generous tip. I waited. I waited. I waited. I ended up leaving WITHOUT my croissant sandwich, but already paid for a muffin (which I received). I'm very upset! The least they could have done was gove me back ALL of my money (I only got back partial), including the price for the muffin. I called and was told by the cashier that, "It's my fault. I didn't tell the cook to make your order. I'll tell my manager and make it right." I've been a loyal customer who always tipped well. NEVER AGAIN! read more

queeeeeen beeeeee coffee all dayyyyyyyy best little hidden gem - iced or hot it's delicious either way

Really cute place. Great coffee assortments and good was good. Wish there were more seating but good for you and a friend

Overall: 4.5/5, this place is very good. Drink: 4.5/5, got the salted caramel latte and it was super tasty. Unique flavor, great combo of syrups in my opinion. Would be a 5 if it was a little less sweet, it was even quite sweet with an extra shot. Espresso: 5/5, very balanced. I'd have to try plain espresso to confirm this but no complaints. Food: 3.5/5, the sandwiches are doing too much and the pastries are good but not great. Ambiance: 4/5, no real complaints here but it's kind of a touch-and-go vibe. Service: 5/5, never really had a bad experience here. read more

Staff service is amazing, and the selection of drinks are great as they change it up from time to time. The majority of the food on their menu is (insert the chef kiss). Prices are very reasonable, and portions are worth splitting. Great selection of pastries, if you need something to grab and go. If you have time, please check out this little spot located directly across from Cowles Mountain. Get your workout and hop on over to Honey Haven read more

So far so good. I haven't tried any of their coffees yet but I have had their sandwiches. Anytime I don't feel like spending that much on good sandwiches or lunch in general this will be my go to spot. Their sandwiches are good and I enjoyed their Philly (not as good as Gaglione's but it will do) and their Chicken Pesto. I was surprised the first time I ordered to see that the sandwiches came with fries. Their fries were so good. Nice and perfectly crisp even after being in the to go container. The service is friendly and quick. There's usually a line and so I usually order and then head on over to Pure Press as I'm more a smoothie/juice person versus coffee. I do like that it's the same owner. If you're a regular like me definitely join the birthday club. They do have seating it's a bit hidden as it's on the side of the taco shop. read more

Coffee and food were good. Best for take out since parking and sit down dining is very limited.

meh, a cute idea but just doesn't float, the register is run by a couple of teens who don't want to be there. How do you mess up avocado toast? A friend likes it, mostly because of its location- so we go about once a month, so I order the pastries. read more

Food and customer service is great. Only downside would be the lack of seating so plan accordingly.
