    One of the best coffee shops in San Diego!! Dayan is the sweetest, she created such a wholesome space for people to chill, hang out, work, etc while enjoying some of the best coffee. The sunny vanilla latte is my perfect cup!! But everything that i have tried from here has been delicious including matcha and hojicha. Love love love me some Kafe'sito!

    So good lol

    I walked into Kafe'cito and I was confused at first because it's upstairs in this nice Pilates studio. Upon entering you come upon a super nice, clean aesthetic. Feels like a luxurious home, so props to the owner for her interior design choice. I got a chance to chat with the owner, I believe her name was "Diana" (I apologize if I got it wrong) It was her and another coworker, both were super friendly , and pleasant to be around. I ordered my usual, an iced latte. It was a delicious refreshing latte. it had beautiful color and was balanced and perfectly just enough sweetness. I look forward to coming here again and grabbing a delicious coffee as I walk the beach and explore the area. I started drinking the coffee before taking a picture, it was that good. Thank you Kafe'cito for the great experience I look forward to supporting.

    Food/Drinks: 7/10 Service: 7/10 Ambiance: 7.5/10 I got a Matcha latte with brown sugar and honestly, I would say it was OK. My friend told me that the Hojicha is much better so maybe next time I'll get that. The aesthetic of the place is really pretty. The only thing I didn't know going in was that it's right above The Sculpt Room, so keep that in mind. Parking wasn't too terrible and if you're able to find a seat, you're able to get a good amount of work done.

    This place is tiny & cute located at the top of a Pilates studio, I happened to be walking the neighborhood and saw the sign from the street for coffee. I tried the Lynn club signature iced and it was really good, I'll be back to try more for sure!

    Sweet Salt Matcha. They use Holy Matcha as their matcha powder.

    Matcha lovers, rejoice! I have gone through my fair share of mid-matcha drinks, but this place is the reason why I love exploring different places so often. I got the sweet salt matcha and fell in love. The sweetness level, matcha quality and size were perfect to my liking (so much so that I ordered two!) The owner apparently was the one who made my drink & after talking to her you can tell she puts so much thought and care to her product choices. Looking forward to my next visit to try the other drinks!

    Banana & Butterfly Pea Matcha

    I ordered the Sweet Salt Matcha. I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I was looking for that sweet and salty taste, but I only got the sweet part. I was hoping to taste some of that salt! Especially since it's himalayan salt, it's a very soft taste. It just tasted like a solid plain matcha I would drink at home, which I enjoyed. The matcha is a soft bitter which I oddly love. I did ask for extra matcha in there, so in my drink it came with 6g and I believe it was perfect! Not sure how much the extra matcha cost me. Next time I want to try some of the specialty matchas! They have such a big menu. I wish it wasn't so far away from me; I would be here every day. The girl who took my order was so kind, I wish I caught her name. Whenever I ask for extra matcha in my drink, people tend to kind of downplay my request which makes me a bit sad. This girl on the other hand was the first time I experienced a positive reaction. She said "absolutely" with a smile for anything I had asked. She was so sweet. A different girl had helped me when I asked if I could buy a small cup of the watermelon seed milk. I just wanted to try it, and she gave me a sample of it. The employees in this cafe are so kind and make me feel like they care about community. Which is big for me. The ambiance inside is so beautiful. It's inside of a pilates studio, but there is an upstairs section leading to the cafe. It's fairly small with about 4 tables, each with 2 chairs. I found the environment to have a coastal mexican vibe. There is some street parking from what I saw, but no designated parking lot. {08/04/26 ~ 12PM}

    got the matcha latte and didn't think it had a really strong matcha flavor. it was kind of plain and the matcha itself does not really have a nice flavor (not really nutty or umami-y). i got it with extra matcha as well and felt like it was bland. (apparently 6g total) $9 for the matcha in total and left disappointed. i'm sure the coffee is great, but if you are looking for good authentic matcha, this is probably not the place yummy rating: 4/10

    i recently visited this new coffee shop with a minimalist and calming aesthetic design, specializing in craft functional drinks like matcha, mushroom coffee, turmeric, and collagen. Its located on the second floor of the Pilates studio. There are a few tables with seats . There is no food or pastries are available for purchase just yet. I've chatted to barista briefly and she informed me that there is a plan to offer gluten free menu items in the near future. My suggestion would be to include options that serve all guests, not just strictly those seeking gluten-free diet, it would surely attract a wider customer base.

    Iced vanilla latte

    Kafe'sito has been my go to coffee since before the space opened in Solana beach. I'd drive from Orange County to San Diego just to pick up a weekly supply of the vanilla lattes. The owner is truly one of the kindest souls I've ever met, and the staff at Kafe'sito are always so great. this isn't Starbucks; this is a boutique coffee experience, where there's typically only 1 or 2 people working and custom making the drinks. That's the point of Kafe'sito. I've never had to send my drink back here, but unfortunately have had to many other times at chain places. Kafe'sito isn't a chain, it's a singular boutique coffee experience started by an owner who deeply cares about coffee and community, and it's a space truly designed for coffee and community. (Clearly I'm biased because I'm a Kafe'sito ride or die) but I truly crave my iced vanilla lattes only from Kafe'sito.

    Awesome little coffee spot located on the second floor of the Sculpt Room. This is a small coffee spot but the coffee and options available are all very good! They have about 4-5 tables and is totally a good spot to unwind a bit or just order your cup of Joe to go.

    I remember some months ago I was walking by with a friend and trying to figure out what that space some construction crew was working on would host. So nice to see that there is a sculpt room and above is the Kafe'sito (a cute way to write small coffee). Lots of good looking people make sense because they seem to literally come from some class downstairs, all wearing sporty clothes and looking healthy. Very nice spot, with cool design, on the black and white vibe. However, the coffee shop space is too small to be a co-working space and that is what it looks like with people having full on corporate discussions via zoom calls. I don't get it and should be a time limit and some boundaries. At least I was able to establish some conversation with 2 nice girls seating next table laptop-less and enjoy our fabulous drinks.

    Dear Yelp Community, First time visiting this venue. A coffee shop in the loft of a pilates studio! Classy ambiance, friendly staff, and excellent hot beverage. The menu has wellness drinks, and I ordered the butterfly pea latte (hot) that has a blue tint (from the blue butterfly pea flower) with coconut milk. The taste was great, which I highly recommend. Well wishes. Sincerely, Anna

    Cute lil coffee shop that's located upstairs from the Sculpt Room! I just came in here to grab a quick coffee and it was so nice I wish I could've stayed. I got a cold brew which is not on the menu, and it hit the spot. I can't wait to go back and try the other coffees!

This would have been an average San Diego coffee shop experience for me, except for the fact that I absolutely LOVED the cherry bomb! It's a cherry mocha and essentially a perfect drink for me. Back in 2019, Starbucks had a seasonal cherry mocha for Valentine's Day that I was obsessed with. Apparently I was the only one, because they haven't brought it back since. Cherry mochas are hard to come by, and I haven't really encountered another one. This one was delicious! The espresso was bold, the milk perfectly creamy, and the overall taste not too sweet (unlike Starbucks'). Wow!! I can already tell this will be a drink I daydream about. Unfortunately it was $7.50, which will prevent me from indulging very regularly. The rest of the menu is pricey too, with avocado toasts nearly reaching $20. (I may be a millennial, but I can certainly understand the negative stereotype when I see coffee shop prices like these.) Besides pricing, the other downside of this place is the limited seating. There were only 4 small outdoor tables, so unless you're with just one other person and you arrive before 10am, I'd suggest grabbing your coffee to go and taking a walk. My friend and I sat down, since there were open tables when we arrived. She enjoyed her iced honey cinnamon latte. If you love a cherry mocha or are looking for coffee in the design district, definitely come through!

Then, while I was simply standing there waiting for the drink I had paid for, they started making comments about me waiting. Truly fascinating. I didn't realize there was also a correct and incorrect way to stand near a coffee counter. Eventually they wrote "cap" on my cup and called it out, so I grabbed it and said, "Thanks for my short latte." For a place serving coffee, they somehow managed to make ordering one feel like an oral exam I had failed. If you enjoy being lightly bullied by your barista over espresso terminology, this may be your spot. I personally will be getting my incorrectly named beverages elsewhere.
