    Smoothie

    Sadly, this smoothie was terrible. Very watery and full of ice chips. No flavor at all

    I visited Java Earth Coffee with my friend on a Sunday afternoon. The street by the building was crowded, so we just parked a couple of blocks away & walked over. The cafe was crowded & had a line when we arrived. I ordered their #12 smoothie while my friend got their banana cream top matcha. I appreciated the lively atmosphere of the cafe, & loved that its location is only a short walk to the beach--my friend & I headed over to the beach with our drinks afterward. I enjoyed my smoothie, but I would most likely reconsider visiting again if there's a line.

    My review is purely for 1 specific item as I don't drink coffee. However, coffee shops always have tasty breakfast items and I honestly think this is one of the best breakfast bites I've had in years. The place was super packed with a line out the door but service was relatively quick and the workers were all smiling. All the outdoor seats were taken, so they must have other awesome items to order and I would happily wait in line for the coconut square every single time. Small interior but kept clean and price is great.

    Service was very fast, delicious coffee and smoothie, parking is easy, and lots of seating inside and outside

    The coffee was decent. I got a cappuccino that was very foamy on top, so I'll get the latte next time for more blended/integrated taste profile. Tons of seating outside. Tables inside fill up fast which is the main downside.

    Lox Bagel

    I ordered the 16oz iced brown sugar cinnamon latte and added maple syrup and an extra shot of espresso . 8/10 for the latte. It was really good and not too sweet however the coffee flavor could've been stronger. I also had the lox bagel which was phenomenal. It came in a big portion, great for splitting if you want a smaller breakfast. The salmon was fresh and the veggies on top even fresher. The pickled onions added a great touch! The service here is great! The staff were friendly and the order came out quick, even though it was pretty busy. This place has a great airy atmosphere which is great for a quick breakfast or a study day.

    The food, ambiance, & staff are so wonderful!! Charolette & the gentleman working w/ her today were so helpful & sweet!! Thank you for the great experience :))

    Cali Bowl and latte
    Christina A.

    Love this place, such a cute local spot. The place is very bright with lots of windows giving plenty of natural light and they have a decent amount of seating (inside and outside). The service is amazing and the coffee is amazing. I got a Cali bowl and a regular latte. I wish there was some seasoning on the bowl, however, I added my own salt and pepper which definitely elevated the bowl. The latte was amazing and the staff was super sweet.

    vanilla latte and cookie butter latte
    Celine K.

    the vanilla latte was very very sweet but the cookie butter latte was surprisingly less sweet compared to it. they also had a larger size for the drinks and food too. expect a wait on the weekends but it moved fairly quickly

    Outside seating
    Joy Z.

    Dropped by with a friend while on a walk down Cass. The place was busy and we were lucky to grab a table because someone was getting up. It looks like people stay and sit so seats are hard to come by. Once inside it's calm and cute. Ladies behind the counter are sweet. Good choices on the menu. There was no line dispute it being so busy outside. Coffee was ok. Not strong and nothing out of the ordinary. I usually have the lavender coffee and it is good, just a bit sweet. I wasn't wanting anything sweet today so just had plain coffee and that's what it was, plain. Pastries liked great but didn't try any, maybe next time.

    Mmmm this matcha!
    Julz G.

    The best matcha! Definitely going to give a try to some of the other delicious looking things here :)

    Banana bread and brown sugar latte

    I got the brown sugar iced latte! It was great, I really enjoyed it. My friends got the matcha, which was also good, but we collectively agreed their coffee was better. I also got their banana bread because I saw some reviews raving about it. It was good, definitely more "cakey" than a traditional banana bread. Super cute shop with good seating and quick service. Overall a 7/10 and cute place to stop by for a weekend coffee :)

    Banana cream matcha and strawberry matcha
    Angelica D.

    This is the best matcha I have ever tried! I requested to have it made with oat milk and they kindly informed me that it already is which I think was wonderful. The place is so cute and had a good amount of seating. Parking was okay but not horrible! 10/10 would recommend! :)

    The happy hour and the vibes are immaculate!…read more A few months ago, I went here with my boyfriend, sisters and brothers in law for my going away dinner. I am so sad because I can't remember the name of our waitress! She was amazing because she was so ON POINT with everything -- from knowing the details of each menu item, to knowing what "medium+" is for a steak. She was attentive and amazing and shoutout to her! The food and tiny 'tinis were delicious! The steak and fries were such a good deal for $25. I could've eaten two of them, and now that I'm writing this months later, I'm thinking about that meal again. There is also a spot where the live musician plays, which is awesome! When I'm in San Diego, I have to come back.

    I really wanted to like Books & Records, but the service left a lot to be desired…read more After checking in, we waited a bit for our table, which was understandable. Once seated, though, we sat for about 20 minutes without anyone acknowledging us. I eventually had to flag someone down just to get water. We then waited even longer for our server to take our order. Because service was so slow, I ordered all of our drinks and food at once since I wasn't sure when we'd see our server again. What stood out even more was watching a couple seated next to us receive immediate attention. They were greeted, served water right away, and the woman was offered a purse hook. Meanwhile, we were sitting there with our purses shoved beside us and weren't offered the same courtesy. It may seem like a small detail, but combined with the lack of attention, it made us feel overlooked. The drinks came out quickly, and the chicken satay and mac and cheese were decent. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out food-wise either. The highlight of the evening was definitely the live music. The performers were fantastic and created a great atmosphere that honestly was the only enjoyable part of the evening.

It's got the decor, chairs, and art to match. Jessica was our server and she was amazing! She gave us lots of suggestions on what to try and what is on the menu since it was my first time here. She recommended the bloody Mary flight so did grab that to try! We also ordered the biscuits and gravy to share and orange juice. The portions are so large! So I am glad we decided to share the biscuits and gravy but let me run down each thing. Bloody Mary Flight: Honestly every single one was amazing. My favorite was definitely the pickle Mary! Everything tasted so delicious and was garnished beautifully. Well worth the 22 dollars. Biscuits and Gravy: Absolute perfection of comfort food. The biscuits were so fluffy and well seasoned. The gravy was also soooo good, just like my mom makes. The sausage in it was also cooked so well and juicy. I've never tried mashed potatoes with the biscuits and gravy but it worked very well! Orange Juice: Not a fan really, not pulpy enough and I wasn't a fan of the flavor. Overall this is definitely a must visit! I will definitely be back.

The parking is get in where you can fit in on the street but it wasn't difficult. They have indoor and outdoor seating in the back. Our server Ulises was great which he immediately greeted us and was very attentive even with the Father's Day crowd. I decided to try the rib and eggs and I have to admit, I was very happy with my choice. The ribs were lightly sauced with a thin sauce that worked well. The meat was tender and had great flavor. I just didn't like the grass they put on top!lol The eggs were okay. I added cheese but I barely had any compared to my friends. The cantaloupe was a nice sweet treat afterwards. I tried my friend's meal and they were also good which they also enjoyed their meals overall. I also tried a one of the Bloody Mary flights which was the only tequila shot with pork skin on top. I do not like savory and spicy drinks but that particular shot was decent and was hot sauce for the pork skin. Overall, the experience was nice and the food was good especially for the value.

We ordered the chilaquiles and the shrimp enmoladas, and both were outstanding. The flavors were spot on and it's clear they put a creative, elevated spin on these classic dishes. It's no surprise that their savory specialties are so well-regarded; the kitchen clearly knows what they're doing. What really stood out, though, was the service. Despite it being a popular spot, our experience was seamless. The staff was incredibly prompt, courteous, and attentive throughout our entire meal. It's rare to find a place that balances such a busy, upbeat atmosphere with such quick and friendly service. The food arrived at our table fast and perfectly prepared.

My girlfriend picked the right place. Located in the Gaslamp District of San Diego i was worried we wouldn't find parking close to the restaurant. But because we came so early, street parking was plentiful and available. Cool vibe and great wait staff. Got seated quickly and the restaurant filled up rather quickly thereafter. First coffee was was probably the best cup of house coffee I've had in a while - anywhere! Followed by a shared plate of fried rice Benedict, shrimp and grits (yes for breakfast) and candied bacon. The bacon was the last thing on the table (usually first to be devoured), but I think that's because we were already too full to eat anything else. Food was delicious!

The entire dining area was filled almost exclusively with white customers, while the visible staff roles felt very segmented in a way that didn't sit right. Here's the puzzle: look around the room, look at who is being seen, look at who is serving, look at who is clearing... and then ask yourself why the only person worth looking at wasn't even part of the experience they're trying to sell.
