    strawberry matcha
    Lam B.

    Gorgeous drinks, yes. Memorable flavors, not quite. If you're in a hurry, I would not recommend stopping here. There were only a few drinks ahead of ours, yet it still took roughly 20 minutes for our two drink order to be completed. The workflow behind the counter felt inefficient and poorly suited for handling multiple orders. While the drinks were undeniably beautiful, much of the preparation seemed focused on presentation rather than efficiency. Each employee appeared responsible for a single step, often leaving others standing by and watching. Ironically, despite all the care put into the visual layering, the flavors themselves felt surprisingly muted. *Matcha Cream On Top: not overly sweet, but the vanilla bean syrup barely made an impression. The cream topping was thick, rich, and luxurious, yet the drink lacked the earthy depth that makes matcha enjoyable. The vanilla was too subtle to stand up to the heavy milk base, and the matcha flavor itself was equally faint. *Strawberry Matcha: suffered from many of the same issues. The matcha was subdued and failed to provide much character. The strawberry purée, however, was fragrant, sweet, and pleasantly tart. It blended nicely with the milk and provided most of the drink's flavor. Even so, it was difficult to distinguish this from similar offerings at competing cafés. The employees were friendly and upbeat, though the pace of service left much to be desired. Ultimately, this felt like a café built around aesthetics first and beverages second. The drinks certainly looked impressive, but as a destination for matcha, there are stronger options elsewhere. Perhaps their coffee menu fares better than their tea offerings.

    Tony store front with only one worker when we went..poor girl had to take orders and make all the drinks herself! Coffee was alright. We got the black sesame latte and the orange latte- personally preferred the orange latte more as it was somewhat refreshing. Might be a bit too sweet for some folks though. The black sesame latte was meh, wouldn't come back just for that. Black sesame snickerdoodle was a decent size, moist, and had a good chew. Not too sweet! But probably won't be craving it any time soon.

    Cute little spot in Little Italy. Parking is very limited and staff is super friendly. I ordered the black sesame latte, orange latte, and mocha latte. All were amazing, but I think my favorite is the black sesame.

    I was in the area and really needed some coffee, so popped into immersion. It looked really cute, quaint, and clean. There was a line out the door, so I figured it must be good. The line was filled with locals who keep returning for their morning, coffee, and they even gave me suggestions. The woman in front of me in line told me that the black sesame latte was the best she'd ever have and she totally recommended it to me. I ordered the black sesame latte and was extremely impressed, given I had no idea what to expect. It was the perfect amount of coffee, strength, creaminess, and different fun flavor. I drank the entire thing and it was wonderful. The girls working were very kind and chatted with me about an event that was happening nearby. I would definitely return for this latte, it was amazing!

    This place ticks a lot of boxes! Prime location. Beautiful and delicious seasonal and classic drinks. Little bites to complement your drink. Great interior vibe/design. Good friendly service (when I went to visit). Only drawback here is the size of the establishment and the chance you may not get parking near by. But if you do decide to come grab a drink you won't be disappointed! I got the seasonal roasted black sesame seed latte with oat milk. It's was beautiful and tasty! Not overwhelming in the flavor but the right balance of sweet and nutty sesame. I'm pleased and plan to come back for their strawberry matcha, as it seems to be a fan favorite. It may be small but there is an indoor area right next to it that you can go sit at and enjoy your goodies. I think they're doing the best with the space they're given. Will come back when I'm in the area for sure!

    Tried Immersion Coffee in Little Italy and honestly... I'd go back. I got the strawberry matcha and for someone that's not a matcha girly, I'd recommend. The strawberry puree really balanced it out and made it way more drinkable -- not too earthy, not too sweet. The spot itself is small, but cute. Definitely gives aesthetic coffee shop vibes, just not somewhere you're gonna sit for hours. They had cookies on display that looked sooo good -- I didn't get one this time, but they were tempting. Service was okay. Not super friendly or anything, but not rude either. There were only two people working, so it seemed like they were just trying to keep things moving. If you're in Little Italy and want a cute coffee spot (especially if you're visiting and not worried about parking), I'd recommend.

    Sesame latte with shot of matcha and strawberry matcha latte
    Sarah L.

    I ordered the black sesame latte with matcha instead of espresso and loved it! The drink is creamy and smooth with a perfect amount of sweetness. It was perfect on a sunny and warm morning. The place is small with only a few window seats and a small outdoor table. Staff are all very friendly.

    Cold Brew and Strawberry Mocha
    Tyra S.

    This is a cute little coffee shop! It's simple, but had such a cool modern vibe to it. Parking can be rough, but once you grab a coffee...you can hang out for a bit or take a nice walk around Little Italy. Now let's get to the coffee... That Strawberry Mocha was so yummy. It was well balanced and the dried strawberries were a great addition for taste plus added uniqueness to the look. I also got a Cold Brew because I am a sucker for those types of coffees. Surprisingly that was tasty as well. It was bitter or bland like some cold brews tend to be. It gave me the pep I needed for the day. The ladies that were serving up these delicious coffees were super sweet and friendly. Great customer service is always a plus. I definitely recommend trying this coffee shop for the variety of unique coffees that they have.

    Strawberry Matcha, Hojicha butterscotch cookie
    Sarah N.

    The strawberry Matcha was OK. I thought that it was a little bit too milky personally for my taste and needed a little bit more Matcha and strawberry to balance it out but overall it was better than a lot of other coffee shops that happened to sell Matcha. The Hojicha butterscotch cookie was surprisingly really good. Honestly, the Hojicha flavor was on point and I don't really like butterscotch, but the butterscotch flavor really melded well with the Hojicha. It was a really nice touch that the cookie was really warm and perfectly crisp on the outside while being warm and gooey on the inside. The barista was super friendly and very enthusiastic even with the long line going out of the door. The ambience was nice and modern looking even though it looks exactly like the massage parlor next-door, but there's not much room for sitting.

    Orange late
    Huong N.

    Parking can be a bit tricky since it's metered and limited, but once you're in, it's such a cute little spot. It's on the smaller side with limited seating, but the vibes are super classy and cozy. There was a line when I went, but it moved pretty quickly. I ordered the orange latte and the hojicha butterscotch cookie latte--both were so good. The orange latte reminded me of those classic orange chocolates from England. And the cookie? AMAZING. Warm, soft in the center, and honestly one of the best I've had. The baristas were really friendly and sweet too, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely want to come back and try more things!

    Roasted black sesame latte, matcha cream top, hojicha butterscotch cookie
    Alice Y.

    Really cute location! Came on a Saturday morning with about 3 parties in line ahead of us but the line went quickly. Service was super friendly and kind! We got the roasted black sesame latte, matcha cream top, and hojicha butterscotch cookie. The black sesame latte was good - it does have coffee in it so something to note. The matcha was pretty light, I mostly tasted the oat milk and cream top. The cookie was stronger on the butterscotch side than the hojicha. It's street parking and there is a little bit of seating inside and some benches & a table outside so I would say it's generally more of a grab and go kind of spot.

    Orange Latte
    Lena K.

    5 stars for the orange latte! By far my favorite latte out there. I have not tried anything else from here because I love it so much. The vibe is cool and the baristas are always friendly.

    I came for one thing only --- THE ROASTED BLACK SESAME LATTE. I saw this all over social media and it did not disappoint! The roasted flavor really shined through and the coffee tasted very nutty and not too sweet. I also enjoyed how it wasn't grainy at all and the bits of sesame added a fun texture. There's not much seating so I wouldn't recommend coming here to hang out but it's good for a quick stop! I easily found street parking on a Sunday afternoon and I was glad that street parking is free on Sundays. Great service as well!

    First time here and I wanna go back! Their coffee menu has some unique drinks that I haven't tried…read morebefore. This time I tried the BB Code which is a Cold Brew with Banana Milk + Brown Sugar. It's $6.75. This was quite tasty and like nothing I tried before. It was quite busy, that just means how popular they are. The cashier and the staff were nice. This coffee shop has indoor and outdoor seating. It's a cute coffee that I regret not taking pics of the shop itself. A good reason to go back to try another tasty drink and snap some photos!

    The name of Forum Coffee is rather apt as many local college students meet here for study and…read morediscussion. Many of the drinks are themed around computer programming with names like "C++" and "Debugger". The whimsical nature of the naming is rather appealing and cute. The atmosphere here is casual and relaxed which is perfect for those needing a chill place to study or kick back. Service was quick and efficient. The staff members also were friendly and positive in mood. I ordered their batch brew coffee which was illustrated as using Guatemala beans that provided "chocolate, nutty, caramel, and citrusy" notes. I didn't quite taste the first three aforementioned notes, but the citrusy, sour note was there along with bitter notes. I've been here before and I much prefer their lattes such as the Troubleshooter and Debugger. Those are exceptionally enjoyable drinks to me. I would rate the batch brew a 3/5 but I'd rate the two aforementioned lattes around a 4.5/5. Overall, it's best to enjoy the specialty drinks here and inundate yourself with sweet caffeine to focus on studying for your upcoming test or completing your project that's about to be due.

    The bagels TOP NOTCH…read more The location cute and quaint, but I do like the Mission Valley location more. This location seems to have a limited menu whereas their other location has more options. It was a busy morning, so they doing their best to keep up with orders while people were asking if their bagels were ready. The workers were being so patient and communicating with customers that they were on it. The coffee TASTES like coffee! Silly to say, but it's soooo delicious and I love when coffee doesn't taste like a complete sugary drink. We had two iced coffees (basic sitch and blondie mocha) and their drip coffee. Would definitely order again. They were out of some ingredients, but they advertised it, so customers were not lead astray. Easily, their bagels make this the place to go!
