Oatmeal and flat white
Sean H.

Such a friendly and cozy vibe! I've walked by this spot a few times and didn't realize there's a bigger living room type seating area in the back! I appreciated the nice marble tables and real dishes/silverware. You can tell there is a lot of thought put into every aspect of your experience. They were pretty much sold out of pastries by 10am so I had their oatmeal, it was sweet and hearty! I also appreciated the local art for sale on the walls and the general vibe was very down to earth. Will definitely be back to try more menu items! Just be aware they close pretty early!

Our barista is very focused on getting the perfect cup of coffee. Mission accomplished!

A delightful one of a KIND coffee shop with a serene, calm vibe and delicious coffee - made to make us smile and write a very KIND review. It is easy to give 5 stars for the service as well - because both Glorissa and Lyn (Jocelyn) are most accommodating! Keeping this KIND-of short and sweet, just like the small, cute and sweet coffee shop...

Avocado toast
Siyi T.

We were in the area for a week and found this little coffee spot right at the corner of the street. The menu included classic espresso drinks as well as some specialty drinks and drip coffee. There were also a few breakfast and pastry options. We got a latte, avocado toast, chocolate croissant, and a drip coffee. The drip coffee (Ethiopia) was particularly good. It was tangy and great for someone who likes light toast. The avocado toast was crispy and lightly seasoned with red chili peppers. The chocolate croissant had lava chocolates inside when warmed. Overall we were satisfied with the coffee and food. However, service efficiency could be improved. It took over 20min to get all of our coffee and food. While our coffee was in a dine-in cup, they made our avocado toast and croissant in a to-go box (no big deal though). The drip coffee came out quite late after we finished the toast and croissant.

Avocado toast was 100% amazing! Great bread, great flavor, great portion (huge!). The cappuccino we ordered was smooth and a great flavor. They have a pistachio zest syrup which i ordered with matcha. Matcha was well rated on their website but honestly it was extremely grainy. Wish I got a latte instead The workers (owners?) were extremely friendly and so sweet! They did great with the space and the coffee

Avocado Toast kind of Sat Morning!!

Great quick service. The avocado toast was delicious and the dirty chai latte were a great pairing. Nice coffee house with trending tones to kick off your day.

This is an amazing spot to grab coffee or breakfast. They pay so much attention to every detail of your beverage--truly hand crafted. I loved the avocado toast and tried both breads they are seasonally offering. The passion fruit matcha tonic is also 10/10. The baristas are super friendly and the atmosphere is v cute.

Avocado toast

Cute little coffee shop, we came on a weekday morning and it wasn't busy at all. I got the banana nut iced coffee, and my bf got a vanilla latte and avocado toast. The coffees took a while to come out, longer than we would've liked. The banana nut had a strange aftertaste, but it might not have been my cup of tea is all. My bf liked the avocado toast, the bread was high quality and the flavors were nice, latte was basic though

Zesty Pistachio Latte
Danny W.

The Zesty Pistachio Latte was smooth, sweet, and had a fun citrus twist from the orange zest on top. Service was solid, and there was plenty of seating inside. Parking can be tricky due to the location and metered spots, but it's worth a visit if you're in the Cortez Hill area.

Pastry Menu

Iced Spiced Chai Latte 10/10 - added almond milk - good balance of spices and sweetness - not too sweet, more on the spice side Crumbonne 10/10 - monkey cinnamon pull apart bread - Not too sweet perfect for the morning Very happy I pumped into this little coffee shop. My drink and pastry were really good, the flavors were light and not too sweet which was great for the morning. The barista was kind, he made small talk with me and recommended me his favorite pastries. This coffee shop is laid back and cozy, perfect place to study or get some work done.

Lemon Loaf & Cortado
Jack M.

I am so happy that I stumble upon this small business locally owned coffee shop. The young lady who owns it made me a fantastic cortado. It was quite robust in flavor but well balanced. I also had a lemon loaf with the cortado. The loaf came from a local bakery. The coffee shop offers inside and outside seating. The inside seating is vast and very comfortable. Kind coffee offers a melee of espresso based beverages, teas, and baked goods. They also make avocado toast. The service was very good.

Went here on my most recent visit to SD. The barista was so friendly, and we ended up striking a convo about pretty names. I could've sat there for hours. Even the other patrons I encountered greeted me with a friendly hello. Coffee was really good as well. I had their black batch and the rosemary hazelnut with oat milk. I loved them both! Definitely one that I'll keep coming back to when I visit.

Banana Nut Latte

Spill the Beans has completely ruined every other coffee shop for me…read more I'm here every single morning, and there's a reason. The bagels are larger, fluffier, and have this perfect subtle sweetness -- rumor has it they're boiled in agave syrup, and honestly, it shows. The Lox, Stock & Bagel hits different when the bagel itself is this good, and the McLovin is worth every bite too. The rotating selection keeps it fresh enough that I genuinely look forward to switching it up. Then there's the Basic Sitch -- don't let the name fool you. Best Caramel Macchiato I've had anywhere. Period. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out. And if you have, you already know.

I have to say this is a really great bagel spot! I've been here several times since discovering the…read moreplace and it's now my go to when I'm in the area. Parking is a bit of a pain bit of you are in waking distance or come early enough it shouldn't be an issue. Sometimes they run out of items if you come later in the day. They have a special Bagel of the month, so make sure to ask what it is. They have several bagel flavors, and different flavor cream cheese spreads. I love the habanero bagel, it's one of my favorites, but just be warned it is very hot. Definitely don't eat it without something cold to drink. They also have a breakfast sandwich called the San Diego which is a favorite of several people I know. You chose the bagel you want it with and they add fried eggs, bacon, cheese and aioli. I highly reccomend it. I've not had a lot of their deinis, but i did order the cinna-bee which has honey, cinnamon, espresso and milk. I thought it was good and would order it again. Definitely check them out and try some of their bagels, or perhaps one of their sandwiches.

Finally got to try this cute Japanese cafe we saw on TikTok, and it did not disappoint!…read more Service: [5/5] The two girls who helped us were so sweet and made the whole experience. We were seated at the bar, which ended up being such a vibe--we got to chat with the girl behind the bar and watch her make lattes and desserts right in front of us. That kind of interaction really sets this place apart. Price: [4.5/5] It's on the pricier side, but honestly it feels fair given the quality of food you're getting. You can taste where your money is going. Food/Drinks: [5/5] Matcha Latte -- We shared one, extra sweet at my request, and it was perfect. Exactly what I was hoping for. Chef Soichi's Karaage -- We had this as an appetizer and my boyfriend made a point to say this is the closest he's had to traditional Japanese karaage. High praise from someone who's passionate about his Japanese culture. Hayashi Omurice -- This is their most popular dish and it's easy to see why. The demi-glaze has a really unique flavor that ties the whole dish together beautifully. This was my pick and I'd order it again without hesitation. Guratan -- My boyfriend's order, and it was incredibly creamy and delicious. We were both too stuffed for dessert by the end, which says a lot about the portion sizes. Ambience: [5/5] The restaurant is small, but honestly that's part of what makes it so charming. Pink everywhere with wooden accents and cherry blossoms throughout (very fitting)--it's cozy, homey, and just really well put together. The intimate size adds to the appeal rather than taking away from it. Overall Experience: [5/5] Hatsuzakara was such a wonderful first experience. Yes, we waited about 30 minutes to be seated arriving at 7:30 on a Friday night but for a waitlist-only spot this small, that's actually a pretty reasonable wait by San Diego standards. The food, the atmosphere, and the staff more than made up for it. Already looking forward to coming back to try the curry and work through their dessert menu.

This Japanese restaurant is so cute and pretty!! The servers also add to the Japanese vibe~…read more The menu is pretty easy to navigate. I feel like everything looked really good, so it was hard to decide what to order. The dishes have small portion size despite the price. I think this kinda helps in that you have room to eat dessert! The brown sugar Okinawa tea was good but the after taste of the sugar was not good. They kept the tea pot warm, and they served oat milk on the side. Karaage had too much chicken skin for my preference. Guratan was penne pasta and not macaroni as specified in the menu. Yakisoba could have used more chicken. Omurice had the more flavor and the egg was really good. I want to try naporitan next time because of the tomato based sauce. Of the desserts I tried, the parfait was most enjoyable because of the fruit with ice cream. The mushi pudding was good; it was the thick and "hard" type of flan. I want to try kakigori next time because I saw their shaved ice machine was legit. Parking - free street parking only. Be prepared to walk up/downhill. Credit card/apple pay accepted Bathroom is only one room in the back. THE SEAT IS WARM. This was a nice gem to find in this part of town.
