Cute coffee shop. Pleasant interaction with the staff. Very minimalist decor. Great coffee. I really enjoyed it and love supporting local businesses. The employee was very efficient and friendly. A lot of people were in and out while I was here, and he didn't back up the line or anything. He was cashiering and making that coffee on expert level. Total one man show. Very clean shopping center. Several outdoor tables with umbrellas. Dog friendly. I would definitely return. Good service, good vibes, great coffee. Doesn't get any better than this! Highly recommended. read more

I don't come here often enough, but crave it all the time--and I'm not even a big coffee drinker. While it is definitely worth the trek from Escondido, I simply wish I were closer for convenience reasons. They have a small menu, but that's why everything they roast is so damn good! They NEVER miss. Best decaf vanilla latte I've ever had. They're pretty quick too, but not sure if it's because every time I go there's barely anyone there. It's a small shop with a few tables, but seems like a good spot to study or catch up with a loved one. read more

Have you seen when Harry Meets Sally? If not, you should. When it comes to coffee, I'm Sally. Ok, when it comes to a lot of food...I digress. I ordered a half sweet non fat three shot regular size Mayan Mocha (I don't like too sweet) and it did not disappoint. As he roasts his own beans you know it's going to be good. And smooth. And tasty. Maybe not the best place to work out of (a little small) but goodness, tasty tasty coffee. And a delightful gentleman behind the counter who was extremely nice to assist me with all my (not picky at all) requests. read more

I visited here about a couple weeks back and the service was friendly and I like the minimalistic menu approach because it allows for options to be concise and well perfected. The drink I ordered which was the mocha tasted great and my only wish was that there was more of it, I'm not big on ice but I was hoping that either the drink would have enough ice cubes to push it to the top or more drink because the drink was 80% filled but anytime you get a drink and it's less then fill you kinda feel like your missing part of the drink in the beginning. Either way drink was great and a nice interior atmosphere read more

There's very limited seating here, but plenty of parking, which is convenient. Because the space is small, there's usually just one barista working, so service can be a bit slow--but the wait is generally manageable. The latte I ordered was good. I've visited a couple of times, and the experience with the baristas has been hit or miss--some visits they're warm and friendly, other times not as much. There's only a small amount of outdoor seating, but the overall vibe is relaxed and chill. I'd definitely come back. read more

Super friendly service, and quite patient with me on first time here trying to decide what to try first. I went with the Mayan mocha (iced, because why not), and it is delicious! Rich espresso cuts through all the other flavors. But the cocoa and light chili combination bring out all sorts of feels. The store front is small but clean and modern, which I was told is because they use most of their space in the back to actually roast their beans on site. Overall a great local shop that I'll be sure to try again! read more

My Baby Girl was visiting San Diego this weekend to help celebrate my birthday, so whenever she visits, we try to get a morning workout in. After getting our fitness on, my daughter wanted to grab a coffee, so I asked her where she wanted to go. After looking at Yelp, she was able to find a local coffee shop that had a high rating. This was our first time experiencing coffee from Idego Coffee Roasters and I thought my hot white chocolate mocha was one of the better tasting versions I've had in our area, but an opportunity area was their customer service. Idego is located in Poway, CA. and it can be reached by taking the 15 freeway exiting off of Poway Road and heading east. You'll find the coffee shop in the Michael's and Grocery Outlet shopping center just before Community Road. Idego is next to Sushi Monster, Jersey Mike's Subs, and Five Guys. There's a Little Caesar's a few doors down from the coffee joint and it's across the street from Wing Stop. There is plenty of parking in this shopping center. Idego is not a big shop with three tables/chairs, ledge top seating next to one of the walls, and there's covered umbrella outdoor seating. As you enter, you'll immediately notice a mural of the world with colored countries, which I'm assuming outlines the areas where the type of coffee Idego serves can be found. There was a young lady and middle aged man working behind the counter who were busy preparing coffee for other customers. I asked the young lady about their Mayan coffee flavor and I didn't feel she was too friendly. Idego doesn't have an extensive menu and after seeing a small display of pastries, the shop appears to just focus on serving coffee. It doesn't have an extensive menu and what it serves are Espresso drinks, Specialty coffees, Iced coffees, Other drinks, and Not coffee. On their counter, there was a worn paper detailing the following flavors scratch made by them: vanilla, chocolate ganache, dairy free chocolate, white chocolate, Mayan, and lavender. After perusing their menu, I ordered a large White Chocolate Mocha. When my name was called to grab my coffee, the gentlemen barista beautifully made what looked like a layered heart on the top of my coffee. When I asked for a sleeve, they had none to offer. Despite not having an accessory for hot drinks, my first taste of the white chocolate mocha had a slight bitter coffee bean taste, but I thought after taking sip after sip on our drive to do errands, my coffee drink was flavorful and rich. It was creamy, the coffee flavor was distinct, and I really enjoyed my first ever coffee order from Idego. If you're looking to try a coffee spot that isn't one of the Java chains, you have to give Idego a try. I love supporting small businesses like Idego and if I'm in the area, I would order another White Chocolate Mocha or try that Mayan flavored coffee, but you'll generate more repeat customers if you focus on welcoming customer service. read more

A must-visit local gem! Idego Coffee in Poway is hands down the best little local, owner-operated coffee spot in town. The owner roasts his own beans right in the shop -- you can even watch the roasting process through the window, which makes it such a unique experience. The coffee is incredible -- consistent, fresh, rich, and full of flavor. The atmosphere is nondescript but friendly and relaxed -- perfect for sitting down to work, chat with a friend. We usually enjoy the tables outside :) Definitely a must-go if you appreciate great coffee and a genuine local vibe! read more

I was kind of disappointed here. I love supporting local coffee places everywhere I go. I just wanted a vanilla latte. Simple and sweet. I spoke to the barista, and he was very kind. I even added a tip, and the total was like $7. I was expecting a generous size coffee for that price. What i got was sad. It was a small coffee. I was done with it after a few sips. It might as well have been expresso shots. I will not be back. I don't mind spending money on coffee, but the value seems to be lacking here. It didn't even have anything special added to it except a little design on top. read more

Great coffee at an even greater price. This coffee shop is tucked away within a semi-busy shopping center in Poway. The interior is relatively spacious and never too busy when I go to find an open seat. Nothing too over the top with so many frills and decorations like some coffee shops, and I think that fits the vibe for this place. Coffee being the main highlight, they offer a simple menu with well-priced coffee options from cold-brews to pour overs to lattes. I usually go for the Mayan Mocha as of recently, mainly for it's spicy-esque chocolate flavor. Service has always been attentive and straight-forward, and they can really help you steer in the right way if you're stuck on choosing options. I also love the added touch of detail with coffee art in the hot drinks which really helps go hand in hand with the great taste. Consideration how close this location is to me, it's one of my regular coffee run spots in the area, and I will continue coming by! read more

My drink was 6.20 and I don't remember if there were other sizes. I absolutely loved my drink. Most of my experiences with pumpkin spice have been that they were too sweet and not much spice.

This place did not give the caffeine fix…read more I ordered the iced ceremonial matcha latte, sweetened with brown sugar. I saw them whisk it in the bowl, but it just tasted like I paid $6.50 for regular milk. Unfortunately I knew before I even tried it was not going to be good, due to the color of the drink. It was barely green. I like a strong match with that richer green color. My partner ordered the Honey Cinnamon latte. This one wasn't bad, but it was also weak in coffee flavor. It was basically a honey-cinnamon milk, with a splash of coffee. Overall, the flavors/sweetness arent bad, but that's not what we came for. Also, a bit nit-picky of an observation... the lids were not comfortable to drink from. It was just an awkward angle. Disappointing experience, I'm so sad to say I would not recommend this to friends or anyone looking for coffee in the area, as I would love to support the smaller businesses in the Carmel Mountain area.

It was well balanced, and not too sweet (which is a good thing). I normally don't get boba, but I got it this time around because it's cheap and it was surprisingly good! We came like an hour before closing and it was pretty fresh and chewy. Service was a tad slow, but the ambiance was nice. It's tucked deep into a somewhat dead plaza so it was a bit eerie going there at night, lol. The workers were extremely nice and patient as well. Would likely come again to try other drinks. Have to come here early though, as they close earlier than other boba shops.

I ordered the Vietnamese coffee with cheese foam and it instantly reminded me of Saigon Coffee in North Park. It has that same rich and bold flavor that true Vietnamese coffee lovers look for. The cheese foam here is my second favorite in the city, right behind Maiko Cafe in Mira Mesa, which says a lot because their foam is legendary. What makes Nova Boba my new number one spot is the simple fact that I can finally get both Vietnamese coffee and cheese foam in one drink without having to chase down a pop up at a farmers market. I was originally planning on heading to the market for that little booth that serves my favorite combo, but I am so glad I found Nova Boba instead. Now I can come here any time I want without depending on a weekend schedule. The shop itself is quiet, clean, and surprisingly inexpensive compared to many other boba places I have tried. It has a calm atmosphere that makes it easy to relax or catch up with a friend. The staff is friendly and the menu has so many options that I already know I will be back. Next time I am trying the strawberry matcha because it looked amazing. If you love Vietnamese coffee or cheese foam or you are just looking for a new spot that will not disappoint, I highly recommend stopping by Nova Boba. It is officially part of my rotation now. Service was quick and place was cute.

This time I did the Caesar salad wrap, which was tasty on a spinach wrap. I opted in for the french fries which I absolutely love since they're shoestring. I also ended up getting the turmeric honey latte which was excellent. It was heavy on the turmeric side, so you're not a fan of that don't order this latte. The service was relatively quick and they're super sweet there. It's a cute café with plenty of seating to do all different types of work or for a great place to meet up friends.

Stopped by Idego Coffee Roasters this morning and boy oh boy, what a hidden gem in Poway! I ordered an iced vanilla latte, and let me tell you... it was everything you want in a morning pick-me-up. Ice-cold, lightly sweet, smooth as silk, and beautifully balanced between bold espresso and creamy vanilla. Not too sweet, not too bitter, just right. Think of it as the coffee equivalent of a well-delivered mic drop. The vibe here? Super chill. Nothing corporate or over-polished, just a clean, simple, welcoming space that feels like your neighborhood's best-kept secret. No flashy branding or pretentious menu boards. Just good coffee, good people, and good energy. The employees were quick, kind, and on top of it. Professional without feeling scripted, helpful without hovering. It was one of those rare mornings where everything just worked, from the parking to the last sip of that glorious latte. If you're anywhere near Poway and need a caffeine fix that won't disappoint, this is your spot. Whether you're posting up with a laptop or grabbing something to-go, Idego nails it without trying too hard. And honestly, we need more places like that. read more

Ambiance: This cafe is lively with some tables inside to study/work and a clean bathroom! There is free, strong wifi posted on the side of the glass showcase. Even after the cafe closes, this WIFI is reliable if you sit outside and work! Lastly, liked that they were open till 6 PM which felt like generous hours to study/work! Please come here for a wonderful catch up with a friend or to study/work! Please try their incredible drinks and food! Really hope they open a Compa Coffee Roasters in OC as well!

It's right next to the 5 north freeway on-ramp off Roselle Street in Sorrento Valley, in a small strip mall beside Lucky Bolt. When I thought about it a bit more, I realized it's at the center of a busy on-ramp, next to a trolley stop, and also along a popular cycling path. The coffee is really tasty here! I've tried the cold brew, americano, and mocha. The cold brew has a very balanced flavor profile, without any signs of being over-steeped. The americano is just as balanced and is carefully crafted. The mocha was really good! A standout forsure. Prepared with a tummy little chocolate drizzle on top. Seating is limited, though they do offer both indoor and outdoor (with an approximate capacity of about 20 total). The staff are friendly and lively. Overall it's a cute, well-curated, and vibey little spot in an interesting location. Definitely recommend trying this spot out whether you're a coffee lover or someone who passes through the general vicinity from time to time.
