    Hi, this is the first time I've visited this place and it was very disappointing. The customer service was excellent and the coffee was good too, but the food was terrible. The avocado was awful, the bread was hard, and the tomato looked like it had been put on whole. Honestly, I don't recommend it. I felt like I almost broke my teeth on the bread. Oh my God, and the limousines they provided were the worst, everything was ruined.

    How is this avocado toast?

    The coffee was good enough. But then I got my avocado toast... terrible avocado spread on un-toasted bread and a couple slices of tomato- $11 plus I paid an extra $2.50 for the hard boiled egg. I couldn't get past one bite. My husband ate only half of his subpar $14 breakfast bagel that came with a microwaved square egg patty. If you need coffee then you're ok. Don't get anything to eat. It should not be on the menu of a coffee shop if it's not as good as gas station food.

    Gorgeous hot latte

    Ideal small coffee shop for an early morning. Croissant was perfect, and both the latte and the brewed coffee were smooth. I wish they had pour over but I can't dock stars because what they do have is excellent.

    Dear Yelp Community, Welcomes to Vista, James Coffee Co.! Glad that a coffee shop remains in this commercial space, which is part of a mixed use building with housing located in the historic/old downtown area of Vista. Friendly staff, and will take the time to provide personalized service. Fresh industrial interior design, with indoor and outdoor seating. Great drink presentation (I ordered an espresso with a touch of milk). Continued well wishes. Sincerely, Anna

    The coffee was great and the service was super fast. I got the rancher drink and it was super good. Would definitely go again.

    Menu

    Great coffee and great service. They have free WiFi and nice outside seating available. Good for bigger groups too.
