    Decaf Vanilla latte
    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.

    Vanilla iced latte
    Deanne L.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

I didn't see the prices for coffee listed so I wasn't sure how much it was until I was paying for it. I got a cheese danish with ube Vietnamese coffee and husband got a large pecan sticky bun with a coffee au lait to go. There was shade seating outside, however, our toddler was being difficult so we went home to enjoy our goodies. The cheese danish is everything you'd want in a cheese danish. The flaky crust was buttery and the cheese filling was rich and slightly tangy from the cream cheese. My husband's large pecan sticky bun was ginormous. I sampled a bite and wow it was super sweet and tasted like a decadent cinnamon roll. I don't think I could eat more than a few bites. The ube coffee I had was strong and iced. Lots of ube flavor and not too artificial tasting. I don't think I'd get it again because I felt it was a bit pricey for $7.50. Overall, delicious pastries and I want to try more. It is on the pricier side but I can see why there were so many people on an early Saturday morning.

While I waited for my order, I went next-door to See's candy. I was craving fudge. I returned about 2 to 3 minutes after my order and my order was ready. The service was great... It was fast and the lady was really friendly. Inside it's very dark & moody vibes, still good natural light where you can work and study from.

The overall experience (staff, variety/availability, drink quality) was incredibly disappointing because I hear great things about this place. There were quite a bit of people in there, so I'm sure it's great at times. Settling for the Vietnamese Iced Coffee as 1 of our 2 drinks, sadly it was mostly ice. The drink was done in a few sips. It felt like the cup was filled with ice and then put the coffee in. Don't get me wrong, the drink was good and the coffee was strong. The other drink was the Creme Brulee Latte. If you like the sugar un-bruleed, this is the drink for you. I saw the top was torched for a few seconds, but the drink was still in the tiny sugar crystals. The coffee part is also nice and strong, though the drink is not as sweet as it sounds. Overall, lack-luster and expensive for the $7.60 - Large.
