    Herbal tea
    Stephanie W.

    Super friendly staff. Great local location. Really clean and nice outdoor seating. Enjoyed an iced herbal tea, they offered to add honey to sweeten which was great. My friend enjoyed an almond milk cappuccino. Can't wait to try some pastries and different coffees next time!

    What a hidden gem! I have seen this coffee shop and decided to stop by...and boy am I happy I did! I stopped by right when they opened, the place is small and very welcoming! I was immediately greeted when I walked in and the gentleman took my order right away. They have a selection of pastries and I love that the drink menu carries coffee classics! I ordered an americano, a latte and a croissant. Everything was so good! I will be visiting more for sure!

    Great Cup of Coffee.

    If you don't carefully look, you might miss this place and it's tasty coffee. When I was there they had a good collection of single origin roasted coffees. I had a quick chat with the owner and he has a very friendly personality and good knowledge of what he's serving. The location is in the middle of residential area in North Park so has a lot less noice. However, they have a very limited seats so I don't recommend for people who's looking for a working table. Oh. Forgot to mention. Parking can be a bit tricky.

    Whole beans

    Such a charming and quaint coffee shop in the neighborhood of north park! They have cute outdoor seating to soak up the warm San Diego sun and just enjoy your time whilst enjoying your coffee/drink. They offer a selection of baked goods like croissants, morning buns, cakes, cookies, etc. They also sell merch like gift baskets of goodies, t shirts, bags of locally roasted fresh beans, as well as locally made ceramics. You can tell they take your coffee seriously and offer high quality products. We bought a bag of their Ethiopian guji washed single origin coffee beans and the owner was gracious to offer us a complimentary cup of their geisha drip coffee on the house! How sweet! The owner is originally from New York and was super friendly and welcoming. Come support this local gem of a coffee shop!

    Cortado and Lemon Cake
    Jack M.

    This inspired little coffee roaster and shop is located in the neighborhood of North Park nestled between Mead Ave and Hamilton St., on the bottom floor of some recently built trendy apartment buildings. Although they offer outside seating, they are mostly a to go coffee shop offering a variety of espresso based beverages, teas, and locally based pastries. That being said, I had the gent make a me a cortado with whole milk and a slice of lemon cake made with olive oil. The cortado was very food and on the fruity side when it comes to flavor. It was smooth and rich in coffee flavor as well. The lemon cake by Knead Artisan Bakery was outstanding. It was definitely a keeper. It was rich in lemon flavor and super moist. The olive oil really does its job well here. The service was upbeat and super friendly. They definitely give off that good neighborhood community coffee shop vibe. Only street parking is available here.

    Olive Oil Cake
    Christina A.

    Such a cute spot! Staff was super friendly, Jacob made our morning with a warm smile and friendly energy. He convinced us to get the olive cake which did not disappoint. The cake was amazing, not too sweet but definitely hit the spot. Good coffee as well, definitely recommend.

    I ordered a latte and cookie and enjoyed both items. The cafe was cutely decorated with disc golf-related items like their trophy. The owners were super friendly. I parked on the street. Glad to have another coffee shop in the neighborhood!

    Outside building

    I got the Cinnamon Toast Latte and my gf got the Cardamom Rose Latte. The cardamom rose latte has a stronger flavor (not in a bad way) than most other floral lattes I've had. It was very interesting and unique. 1 star off just because the sizes were a little smaller but nothing too major

    I stumbled upon this cute little cafe during my morning walk. The service is great, everyone is so welcoming and sweet. There are a few seats available outside (cute little red tables and chairs). They get fresh baked goods delivered every morning! They have some shirts and other goods made my locals for purchase. I tried the iced chai and it was delicious! Definitely recommend. It's super cute!

    Was walking in the neighborhood when I stumbled upon this little coffee shop. I ordered a chai tea latte and a pastry and both were great! The barista was also super nice and informative. I definately recommend stooping by if you are in the area.

    Iced salted caramel latte with almond milk
    Penelope H.

    Just moved here from ocean beach. Trying all the coffee shops around and decided to start here! Very nice service and gave my pup a free treat which is always an awesome thing! I love the salted caramel latte, it was great and I'm a picky coffee drinker. I will definitely come again!

    Handmade items from local purveyors
    Sandy O.

    This under-the-radar coffee shop recently opened on the ground level of a new apartment building, and it's such a wonderful addition to the area! Inside the shop, they sell items made by locals that would make for great gifts. Outside, there's a few colorful tables for seating, which add to the happy vibes of this place. You can tell that they really care about quality here, based on the companies they're working with. The service was also super friendly! I got the Lemon EVOO Cake, which was light and so flavorful. I also got the Dubai Choco-latte with oat milk, but the espresso unfortunately felt too acidic for my taste, and also made it difficult to really taste the other flavors of the latte. I'll be back to try other drinks such as the Matcha, and other pastries such as the Strawberry Chip Cookie!

    Jacob was so nice and this one of the best matchas I've ever gotten from a coffee shop haha usually they don't know how to make a good matcha!

    Cold Brew. It was so good we drank it all before remembering to make a review.

Every pour I tried was fresh and well-balanced, which definitely made my multiple visits worth it. The staff deserves a shout-out as well as they are always genuinely friendly and willing to talk sports. Quick to offer recommendations or beer to try before you buy, and created an easygoing vibe from the moment I walked in. Shout out to their employee Tron and the rest of the staff! The only area that could use some love is the ambiance. It's not bad, just a bit vintage/dated compared to other breweries in the area. A refresh in décor or layout would make the space feel as modern as the name suggests. They do however have plenty of table games, trivia nights and merch! Overall, great beer, great people, and a place I consistently return to all year long. 5 stars.

Right on the street, not too big and not too small. They had an outside patio. The bartender didn't look at us for about 10 minutes and it was extremely uncomfortable lol Eventually we were able to order so we just got one round to make it easy. He didn't talk to us again when his friend came in. He talked to his friend for the remainder of the time we were there. Here are the beers we tried: Impact Strategy: Peachy. Light hops Mt.

The decor is fun and takes me back to my childhood with the skateboarding decks and overall vibe. The only reason for 4 stars is the parking situation around the area; it's scarce at times, so it usually involves a walk. Still, the neighborhood is young and fun and I would definitely revisit this place even with the parking limitations. Thank you PCRC!

From the moment I walked in, two people greeted me right away and made the shop feel super welcoming. The space itself is really cute, with a relaxed vibe and a few tables where people were working on laptops. I actually don't drink coffee (I'm caffeine sensitive haha), so I told the barista I had no idea what to pick for my husband. They have really well-stocked shelves with beans roasted in house, and you can tell they genuinely take pride in what they do. The packaging is beautiful, and each bag has a card explaining the flavor notes and where the beans come from. After I mentioned a few coffees my husband has liked before, the barista recommended the Dark Drop beans. He was so kind, patient, and helpful -- especially to someone completely clueless about coffee. While I was there, he also made me an oat milk matcha with honey, and it was really good. Smooth and creamy. My husband had been gone for work for a month, so I wanted to surprise him with fresh beans when he got home. He absolutely loved them and said the espresso was balanced, bold, and incredibly fresh. We'll definitely be back to try more beans, and I'll absolutely be returning for another matcha. Thanks again for the great customer service and welcoming atmosphere!
