    Excellent coffee, excellent service, excellent atmosphere! I was looking for a spot to enjoy my morning coffee and get some work in and this space gave everything. View, quality and the service was top. Thank you Glo for being so KIND and welcoming and for the delicious coffee you made me! Shannon came in afterwards and was very attentive and sweet! 10/10 Will come back again

    Mandy and Shep the owners are amazing! They were so kind to let me in 5 minutes before closing and gave me a complimentary birthday brew. The cafe is such a vibe, it's cozy and cute. I love the decor and where it's located. I highly recommended stopping by.

    Vanilla latte with avocado toast

    One of my favorite coffee shops I've tried in the area! The place is very quaint and has a fair amount of seating options to dine in/sit outside. The staff were so friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in! I really enjoyed the flavor of coffee and the syrup flavor options. They have a few specialty drink options as well that sounded good. The avocado toast was amazing- very fresh tasting and there are two different bread options to choose from. Definitely recommend trying out!

    Adorable little cozy coffee shop with an equally adorable title, Kind Coffee. It's really nice inside, super spacious. The barista, really, really nice - kind . I had Americano and they have oat and almond milk for non-dairy choices. And really cute area inside. They do close early at 1 p.m., check them out, give them some love. CC accepted

    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...

    We live in Southern California but ordered coffee online. It was great. I could almost see the Aspen turning colors

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    Avocado Toast kind of Sat Morning!!
    Brian Z.

    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.

    If you are a matcha loving person like I am then you are going to love Labora…read more I came here with one other person to get our day started right. We came in on a Monday morning and it was already pretty busy. I like that they had a kiosk you can just skip the line and order from. But they also have a person at the counter if that is what you prefer. They can make any of their creations as an espresso latte or matcha latte. Their popular drinks include banana, pistachio, ube, and pandan. They're also known for using ceremonial matcha which I appreciate. They have milk alternatives and you can customize sweetness level. I went with their pistachio matcha latte with oat and 50% less sweet. It was a delicious matcha with a pistachio cold sweet foam on top. 50% was the perfect amount of sweetness for me. I enjoyed every sip. The person I came with got the Banana 53 espresso latte which was a house made vietnamese drip coffee with a banana foam layer. He loved it as well. If you love vietnamese coffee and banana I recommend it. Our drinks came out fairly quick. The inside of the shop is very cute. It gets busy but there are tables and chairs to sit and hang out. The only thing is they have a very small lot in front so parking can be hard.

    ‼ DISCRIMINATION! RACISM! ‼ I had an extremely uncomfortable…read moreand upsetting experience here while picking up a large coffee order for a wedding. When I arrived, there was a very long line, but because my order had already been placed, I went to the designated pickup area. While waiting, I watched the employee behind the counter speak politely and normally to other customers. When it was my turn, I turned my phone around and politely said, "Hi, I'm here to pick up for" Before I could even finish my sentence, the employee looked at my phone, rolled his eyes, turned away from me, and went to retrieve the order. There was no greeting, no acknowledgment, and no basic courtesy. He handed me the order while staring at me, rolled his eyes again, and immediately returned to the register. The interaction was so noticeably hostile that I looked back at him and asked, "What's your problem?" He immediately turned away and began helping someone else. I then asked another employee whether there was a manager available and explained what had just happened. Her response was essentially that there was "a lot going on" and that they were busy. Being busy does not excuse treating a customer disrespectfully especially when I had just watched other customers receive normal, courteous service. What made this experience particularly concerning was what happened next. While I was still making sure my large order was complete, another customer approached the pickup area. The same employee who would not even allow me to finish my sentence immediately greeted this man with, "Hello, how can I help you?" and proceeded to speak to him politely and professionally. That was the exact basic courtesy I had been denied only moments earlier. As a Black woman, I cannot ignore that difference in treatment. I watched this employee demonstrate that he was perfectly capable of greeting customers, communicating professionally, and being courteous. He simply chose not to extend that same treatment to me. Based on what I personally witnessed, the disparity felt prejudicial and discriminatory. I then walked to the neighboring sister establishment to ask how I could contact management because I had not been provided helpful management information inside the coffee shop. Ironically, the employee I spoke with there was also Latino, and he treated me with complete respect. He listened, offered to get a manager, asked whether I was okay, and apologized that I had experienced something uncomfortable. That interaction is important because my complaint is not about anyone's ethnicity it is about the specific behavior of the employees who dealt with me at the coffee shop. What was also strange was that the coffee shop employees who had just explained that everything was so hectic suddenly had plenty of time to stand at the counter and watch me while I spoke with the neighboring business. They continued watching me until I got into my car. There had been an enormous line of customers, yet somehow the "too busy" explanation disappeared when it came time to watch what I was doing after I asked about management. That made an already uncomfortable situation feel even more hostile. The Smoking Gun needs to seriously evaluate who it places in customer-facing positions. Customers should not have to wonder whether their race affected the basic level of dignity and courtesy they received. If an employee is overwhelmed or having a bad day, take a break, ask for help, or work away from the front counter. What you do not do is selectively discard basic manners with one customer and then immediately demonstrate those same manners to the next. I came in to pick up coffee for a wedding. I was polite. I was there to collect an order and leave. There was absolutely no reason for me to be treated with hostility. I will be filing a formal complaint with management regarding this incident. I hope management takes it seriously, reviews what occurred, and provides its staff with appropriate customer-service and anti-discrimination training. No paying customer should be treated as though basic respect is optional. And yes, they can run the cameras back it'll be in there ! Then to ice the cake, they literally got the order wrong and didn't give me all the items for the party that I was taking it to! Could look me up and down but not look the orders up and down !

First, street parking only but don't let that deter you from coming coz every inch or foot that you spend walking to this place is all worth it. Secondly, love the ambiance. Reminds me a lot of those ikazaya pubs in Japan but a little more chic and modern. They have bar seating of about 10 and 6-8 tables inside. But they also have outdoor seating. So I came at exactly 11 am and I was the second guest and they sat me at the bar. By 11:30 am, the entire resto was full, not granting it was a Saturday morning but people prolly got smart to come here early before the lunch crowd gets bigger. So for the food, I had to order their Hayachi Omurice and Chef Soichi's Chicken karage and both were BOMB! 11/10 each! Love the flavor of the rice and nice touch of thin slices of meat and the egg was perfectly made. I just wished there were heapings of those egg. The sauce was slightly tangy but love the flavor. The other star of my meal was the karage. Prolly the Top 2 karage I've had. I liked how they sliced in lengthwise and there not too much coating. And it wasn't oily and very juicy inside. Well seasoned and it came with lemon wedges and kewpie mayo. All I did was sprinkle some Nanami Togarashi for an added umami flavor. Overall, this should be on your top 10 restos in San Diego. Service was excellent, the servers were all friendly and always smiles!! Kudos to you guys!! I'll be back for sure!!
