I have been eyeing 1022 for a while and finally decided to stop by after a hot day at the beach!…read moreThere were so many unique gelato flavors to choose from, but I ended up getting the ricotta & fig and it was absolutely delicious. The two flavors complemented each other perfectly, and the creamy texture really enhanced the flavor. The staff were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable about the different gelato flavors. There are still so many flavors I want to come back and try, especially the pistachio and tiramisu. I'll definitely be back, and next time I'm looking forward to trying out their coffee as well!

Okay, I was already excited for gelato, but this place somehow managed to exceed expectations…read more First off, every flavor we tried was amazing, but the pistachio? Yeah... that's the one. I would happily make questionable life decisions for another scoop of it. But honestly, what made this experience stand out wasn't just the gelato--it was Venezia. Huge shoutout to her for being so patient while we stood there completely incapable of making a decision. Instead of rushing us, she took the time to help us figure out what flavors we actually wanted and gave us recommendations that absolutely did not miss. She was incredibly sweet, genuinely welcoming, and made the whole experience so much better. And listen, this place is about an hour drive for me. An HOUR. Yet I'm already planning my return trip because the quality of the gelato and the service made it 100% worth it. If you're anywhere near this place, do yourself a favor and stop by. The gelato is ridiculously creamy, packed with flavor, and made with the kind of quality you can taste immediately. Dare I say it... the creaminess might even be better than An's Gelato . 10/10. Came for the gelato, left wanting to be friends with Venezia

Bound Coffee is easily one of my favorite coffee shops in North County! The sourdough bagels are an…read moreabsolute must. My go-to is the everything bagel with bacon, egg, and cheese. It comes with the most delicious creamy sauce, and I always ask for a side of their green salsa because I'm a sauce girl. Such a good combo! The jalapeño cheddar with cream cheese is also amazing! This visit I tried the seasonal banana latte. The flavor was good, but the texture wasn't my favorite - though you can definitely tell it's made with real banana. I usually stick with their vanilla bean or honey cinnamon latte, which are still my top picks. I seriously crave Bound all the time. They have Wi-Fi, plenty of indoor seating, plus a few outdoor tables if you're looking to work or catch up with a friend. I didn't have room for dessert this time, but the scones and cookies looked incredible, so I'll definitely be back to try those soon!

I really love this place but this is the second time now that something has happened when I go…read morethere. First, couple months ago, I was left waiting for over 30 mins for a breakfast burrito, I thought they were just busy so I gave grace. I went up to ask the status and they told me the cook went to the store to get more tortillas...... didn't bother telling me or informing me. I directly reached out via IG and they gave me a $20 to come back, super nice of them!! Now, fast forward a few months, I had some time to myself this morning and wanted to enjoy coffee and a bagel. (Best sourdough bagels ever) it comes out and the jalapeños are completely blackened on the top like it was burnt to crisp, oh well I moved on and ate half. I began eating the next half and notice that they left the entire piece of paper on the cheese..... so now I'm left wondering did I just eat another piece of paper on the other side and didn't even notice?!! I take it in and tell them. They're super nonchalant about it and ask if I want a refund or another one. They ended up giving me a full refund and said sorry. It just made me feel like this sort of thing happens a lot. I really love this place but I'm really not sure how this keeps happening to me. I just can't do it anymore. Really bummed.

I have been on a quest to quench my craving for the best banana-inspired latte...and I dare say…read moreBanana Dang is the BEST! I tried the iced shaken banana and let me describe in detail: 1. totally natural yet balanced banana flavor 2. silky smooth texture (can liquid be a texture?) 3. the perfect espresso to milk to ice ratio (ideal latte color) the staff was welcoming, friendly, and super chill - expect a relaxed vibe in the cafe! they provided great recs and I can't wait to try the entire menu. yes, this spot is worth the drive or walk or bike as someone who has tried a crazy amount of banana lattes in the SD & North County areas. obsessed is an understatement!

There were about 8 people in line ahead of us, but it went pretty quickly. Gave us more time to think about what we wanted :) We got an Americano with oat milk and initially only ordered the smoked salmon sandwich to split, but my husband liked it so much that I got back in line and ordered this spicy Italian. Very fresh ingredients, the focaccia bread was lovely. There's lots of outdoor and indoor seating, but it does go quick since it's so popular! Will definitely be back!

The…read moreAmericano and pour over are both really nice--super smooth espresso and obviously well-curated beans. The storefront is a bit unassuming, being part of a standard business park, but the interior is really nice and clean, and reminds me of Japanese coffee shops, and even looks somewhat like Longplay HiFi in Sherman Heights. The Pancake Syrup Latte is a very popular and tasty choice if you're looking for a treat--it's creamy, the coffee is still forward, and it's a slightly sweet without being saccharin. Does it taste like pancakes? Not exactly, but it's a well-balanced treat-like drink worth trying iced on a hot day.

Mike and the entire team at Dreamwave are doing such an incredible job of making the experience worth every penny. The quality of the coffee, the work they do, and the service they provide is truly top tier. While they do have a lot of fun flavors, this is not the kind of place that drowns the palate with sweetness. They expertly balance the ratio of syrup, milk, and espresso to provide the best outcome. The nuttiness of their roast really shines, and they're always happy to adjust the sweetness if you need them to. Personally, I love the lower sweetness level being the default. These guys know what they're doing! We've been visiting for the past week and have stopped through Dreamwave four times this week. While I'm always in the need of a coffee fix, we've gone out of our way to visit multiple times because the people have been so beyond kind. We've sampled most of the house flavors and I can confidently say they have all been delicious. This would definitely be my go-to shop if I lived nearby.

I was a little confused when Waze led me to an office parking area where I spotted an umbrella and what looked like a coffee stand. Undeterred, I parked and ventured over. It was the most unique, unusual and memorable coffee experience I've ever had. This place is for true coffee and espresso aficionados. The man working the kiosk referred to the place as a wine bar for coffee as the coffee is prepared, discussed and poured the same way fine wine is. If you love Starbucks, do not go here! If you love thoughtfully and artfully well prepared single Origen coffee, this place should not be missed. Ideally, the coffee should be ordered, prepared and consumed without dairy products so that you truly taste, experience and enjoy all the flavors. Ideally, it would be best to purchase a pour over, and they have a menu dedicated to them. It should be on every coffee and espresso addicts must go to list. I highly recommend it and I'm excited to enjoy the beans I bought at home.
