    Cute little smoothie bowl and coffee shop. Tucked away in a little corner by Petco Park . It's nothing to call home about but it was good , quick and decently priced.

    americano and cold brew

    surprised I never tried this spot before - it always gives off chill vibes as it never seems too busy but there's always 1 or 2 people inside working on their laptop. the coffee tastes good, I liked enjoying my cup by the window. they have a good variety of drinks and food, the kitchen seemed busy as a lot of people would come in and go and order a food item, so next time I would try something to eat here.

    We stopped by this coffee shop near Petco Park and Gallagher Square while in town for the Holoholo Festival, and it was such a great first stop in San Diego! The service was wonderful , the woman who helped us (I think she might be the owner) was so sweet and really guided us in choosing drinks we'd enjoy. The barista (who I also thinks owns it) was also super friendly and made sure we were happy with everything. The drinks were tasty and unique. I tried the latte with pistachio cream on top and really liked it. My sister ordered the matcha with pistachio cream on top which was delicious (honestly, I wish I had ordered hers!), and my brother-in-law had espresso shots that he said were smooth and flavorful. The shop itself is clean, has a fun vibe, and even some great picture spots inside. Overall, it's a welcoming little spot that I'd recommend if you're in the area.

    Brownie and Caramel Macchiato
    Monique L.

    I have been to Kos Cafe twice. The service is great. They are super nice and it doesn't take long to get what you ordered. The first time I got the pre-workout smoothie. This time I got a caramel macchiato and a brownie. The caramel macchiato was so good and was pretty strong. The do have non-dairy alternatives. The brownie a little salty for my taste. I am looking forward to trying the salmon toast and açaí bowl. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The seating is bar seating and tables. It isn't a large place but it's big enough to have multiple groups of people.

    Peanut butter latte and the coconut matcha
    Raelene P.

    KOS coffee is one of the best flavored coffee shops I've had in downtown San Diego. It's close to the Padres Stadium! It's a cute quaint & clean local spot that's walkable for me. It's easy to miss because it is a small building but it's full of flavor so definitely worth a shot to try! I tried the peanut butter latte - something unique that I've never seen done before It was really good! For a medium latte (with no add ons or alternations) it was about 8 dollars (for a medium size)-- this price was very expensive for a latte My husband had the coconut matcha which again was also around 8 dollars It was a great quality matcha and it did taste good, but again pretty pricey for a medium. The flavor was not lacking anything, I would give KOS 5 stars for that, i just think the cost is a little over board. I could (maybe) see that price be justified if i had subbed for a diff milk and added some items but I just don't think this price is fair for what you get. I think KOS should re think the prices on the menu if they want to keep a customer base that returns regularly! With a menu so high cost it wouldn't be reasonable to do so currently.

    Kos Coffee is walking distance from Petco Park on K Street. The have been under way for a little over a month now and are offering some very espresso based beverages and eat, not to mention Turkish coffee. I had an iced coffee with whole milk and touch of cinnamon and a toasted asiago bagel with cream cheese. The iced coffee was good, but needed a little bit more milk. I requested more and they happily agreed to add more. The asiago bagel was of good quality and tasty. I liked that it offered a subtle chew, too. The bagel came heavy on the cream cheese, but delicious not matter. I look forward to trying one of their breakfast bagels. The service was good. I liked that they welcome you when you walk in. This coffee shop us family owned.

    This is a small coffee shop located in East Village, right near the Padres stadium. Parking is basically street parking, and there are many spots in the area so keep that in mind. It's probably more of a neighborhood spot for people that work or live nearby. It's a small coffee shop that has different drinks, some pastries, and breakfast items such as Bagels and sandwiches. There is seating both inside and outside, mostly for small groups. I ordered the Pappi latte and the bagel sandwich. The Latte can be served iced or cold, with your choice of milk. It has pistachio cream and crumbles of pistachio on the top. I did enjoy this latte, I had it iced, but I do wish it had a bit more of the pistachio flavor in it as that is one of my favorite flavors, I will order this again and next time ask for just a little more. The Bagel sandwich had egg ham and cheese, and you can choose between a plain Aciago or everything bagel. The egg was cooked just right Kama which I appreciated Period I wish the bagel had been toasted a bit more, I will just make sure next time to request that. The service was very fast, and they were friendly. I believe they must have free wi-fi, as there were several people seated with their laptops set up, who appeared to be working. I'd say it's worth a stop by if you live in the neighborhood.

    We usually dont get mocha's but on the recomendation of the barista we gave it a shot and were glad we did. The chocolate added a nice touch without being overwhelming or overly sugary. The amount you get for the price was pretty decent as well. The atmosphere helped a lot too. There was tones of natural lighting, a variety of good seating, natural season decorations, etc. I always appreciate it when there is seating for whatever you intention is and it seems like they had that whether you wanted to meet new people, work alone or catch up with a friend. Overall a great spot.

    I stumbled upon this place when Achilles Coffee was not open when they said they'd be. This mama needed coffee and my toddler needed something for breakfast that she'd actually eat (not as easy as it sounds). The place is calm and relaxing and very clean with a lot of natural light. There is indoor seating and outdoor seating. The owners were extremely friendly and let me know this was their fourth day being open! They are independently owned and are not affiliated with the coffeeshop that was here before them (apparently that one was rarely open and just bad). My daughter was delighted with a cream cheese bagel, and I got a steaming hot almond milk latte with the Yaya sandwich. It was really delicious and just enough food. They also have pastries and smoothies and bowls- I love that there's healthy options, which is also what the owners want. They are still working on some things (interior-wise) and may change up/add to the food menu in the future. They are gauging their clientele but hoping the whole family will stop in. This place is very welcome for families (there's juice boxes), dogs, or even to work or read a book. I am happy that I found this place on Google and decided to give it a try!

    Mexican mocha
    Ali L.

    What a great find! The service was excellent, and the Mexican mocha was a pleasant surprise--I'm not usually a mocha person, but this one was fantastic. I also appreciate that they have plant milks, pastries, and food items like açai bowls. The space was clean and comfortable with lots of seating, and the convenient location near the library and Petco Park is a huge plus. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

    Good spot next to Petco Park. Walking distance from Petco park and the San Diego Library. Service was so nice! I asked a bunch of questions because they have flavors of coffee I had never heard of before. I had the einspanner latte. It was good topped with cream. They have alot of unique items. There is no parking since it's downtown but can pay street parking or park at library if you are going there: they have 2 hour free parking if you visit the library. Calm ambiance coffee shop. I like how they had a comic con theme sticker. I walked over here from the convention center to see a comic con pop up and stumbled across this coffee shop.

    Stopped by this adorable new coffee shop that recently rebranded from its former name. Within walking distance of petco. The space is super clean, cozy, and well-organized--definitely a welcoming vibe. The coffee itself is excellent--great quality beans, rich flavor, and clearly crafted with care. I ordered a vanilla latte with breve, and it tasted fantastic. That said, the pricing can be a bit misleading. While a basic latte is listed at $5.50 with milk, adding a flavor or substituting milk (like breve or oat) is an extra $1 each. A little pricey, My drink ended up over $7.50, which felt a little steep for a regular-sized latte. They not only sell espresso/ lattes but specialty drinks, smoothies & teas. Still, it's a great spot if you're looking for quality coffee in a cute, clean environment--just be mindful of the add-ones because they add up quickly!

    Iced matcha and banana bread
    Stephanie V.

    Very cute shop. The Christmas decor was really mice. Very cozy. Wonderful customer service! The iced matcha was perfect. All of their pastries looked amazing. I had the banana bread and it tasted absolutely delicious, definitely homemade. Wish I lived here because this would be my place!

I called yesterday and they told me he had already left for the day, and I called this morning and after a bit I was able to get ahold of him. He kept interrupting me while I was trying to explain to him what actually happened. He was rude and condescending during the call. I explained to him that when I tried to exchange the mango smoothies for an actual agua Fresca that I had actually initially ordered and paid for, that his employee took them and refunded me before he explained to me that he was going to refund me. I was trying to exchange 2 of the 3 I had bought and paid for. But the employee took them and tossed them into the trash behind the counter before he told me he wouldn't sell me anything else and kicked me out. At the same time, my son was outside with the drink he decided to keep and we didn't try to exchange. When the employee kicked me out I told him I was trying to buy others, but he wouldn't let me, told me to get out, so I left and told him I'd be leaving a review. For some reason he refunded me all 3 aguas ($15). I never asked for any of that, he just did it. It seemed that the owner and the employee both had an issue with the fact that my son kept the drink that he had outside. I'm really not sure what they expected me to do after I was kicked out. Did they want me to take it from him and throw it away? This has all been a very strange set of interactions. Luckily Señor Mangos and Anakin's aren't too far away. I can head there and order sugarless agua frescas and have never had an issue the dozens of times we've been there, either with the service of the taste. They are delicious and always so kind. If I were you, I'd steer clear of this place and go elsewhere.
