Andrea R.

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.

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.

Ridiculously mid iced vanilla latte.. Literally tastes like the generic vanilla coffee creamer you get from the grocery store. Also this is how my drink came out when my only specification was extra ice.

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.

This place has great coffee, I'd definitely come back again. We ordered the white mocha and honey cinnamon, and both flavors were good without overpowering the coffee. It's a small place with very limited seating so it's more of a grab and go spot for coffee. The person working was friendly and helpful.

Solid, straight forward and quick first time. Was in the area around lunch and needed a caffeine boost. Service was nice from the gentleman working. Ordered the Vanilla iced latte. Was good, not too sweet, and gave me the energy I needed. Was in and out in 5 min or so.

Errin S.

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!

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.

The vanilla latte here is so good!! It's smooth, velvety, and has a subtle nuttiness to it that I enjoy! The inside is casual and on the smaller side so it's a better place for grab and go coffee than a study spot. Not the warmest/friendliest service but gave us good recs and coffee came out quickly!

Jennifer F.

dont sleep on the vanilla latte! my bf and i agree its the best vanilla latte we've had in a while. it doesn't just taste like vanilla syrup, it feels well balanced and fragrant!

Perfectly crafted latte -- beautiful latte art, ideal temperature, and a smooth, rich coffee flavor that hits just right.

Daniel Z.

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!

Quietly tucked in the shopping center between Five Guys and Jersey Mikes. Paul's service is awesome and he is truly dedicated to his craft. One of the best vanilla lattes I've ever had!

Been coming here since they opened and can't believe I've waited this long to write a review. I make my own espresso at home and since then I don't typically buy espresso based drinks at coffee shops because they always put way too much milk or over-extract the coffee. Idego is on the list of coffee shops I still enjoy a latte from since they have a different flavor profile than my own. My favorite drinks are the Mayan Mocha and Sweet Latte for a little dessert coffee midday pick-me-up! Would also highly recommend grabbing a bag of beans for home, my personal favorite is the Aurora :) read more

Was in the area and decided to look for a coffee shop! So glad I stopped by here. Such a cute little shop with very clean and simple menu. I usually get overwhelmed when there's too many things on the menu so this is a major plus. Ordered a hot vanilla latte with oat milk and ice draft latte. I used to be a heavy creamer/syrup coffee drinker. But my taste in coffee have changed over the past year. I like to taste more of the expresso in my coffee now with a hint of sweetness. The draft latte wasn't my favorite but the vanilla latte was so good. It has the perfect amount of sweetness and you can still get the vanilla expresso taste. It was just perfect in my opinion! Will definitely come back to try more drinks! read more

Donutopolis

Donutopolis is the best donut shop I've ever had the pleasure of eating at. If you live in the San…read moreDiego area it is worth your time to visit. In fact even if you don't live here you should stop by. You won't regret it. If you want mediocre pastries that do nothing but scratch your sweet tooth, there are dozens of places out there that are happy to do the bare minimum. Donutopolis in Poway is not one of those places. For the same price if not better than their competitors you will received not only some of the best donuts you have ever eaten, from flawless classics to innovative specialties, you will also receive so of the best customer service you have ever had at a donut shop, or most other restaurants for that matter. The staff have made their small corner store into a friendly and comfortable place to pickup treats for your events or sit down for a fulfilling breakfast any day of the week, and with special made-to-order treats for larger events, such as their giant birthday donut, Donutopolis is your one stop shop for all your donut needs. A personal favorite of mine is their maple bacon bar which I can comfortably say is the single best maple bacon donut I have ever had, and they are consistent. In fact once when I went in to get one before work they were sold out, and when I asked if they had any the baker offered to make me one right then and there. For no extra cost he didn't just sprinkle bacon bits on a plain maple bar and call it a day, he used fresh maple icing to glue the bits onto the bar, a bit of extra effort that I truly appreciated as I had to eat it on the go. It's the little things like that which show me that the people running this store and making these donuts aren't just doing the bare minimum, they care about their craft and they are dedicated to bringing you fresh and delicious donuts every time you visit, never cutting corners and never disappointing.

I'm sure a lot of people like it but I found the donut very dry and lacking flavor…read more The staff was kind though, he even let me take away without the extra .10 for the glazed old fashioned.

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

The team was super friendly, personable, patient with our questions, and accommodating of our customization requests. We ordered iced hojicha tea lattes.

You stand in line to order at a counter but I think you can also order online. I love how there is an option to order "for here". We got a # to take to our seat and they delivered our drinks to the table directly. And in glass (for cold drinks)! No plastic! Huge differentiator! There was seating inside and outside. Inside felt bustling and jovial. Outside felt a bit more relaxed and less loud. The tables are pretty close together but still nice to have casual conversation. I loved sitting outside! It was relatively shaded and warm. This is a gem! We look forward to returning soon.
