    Peanut Butter Iced Latte
    Denise C.

    This coffee shop is tucked away in downtown and a bit hidden. Parking can be a challenge and you have to pay. This coffee shop is absolutely worth it though. The café has a relaxing, welcoming atmosphere, and the staff were incredibly friendly. I ordered the peanut butter iced latte after seeing it all over social media, and it definitely lived up to the hype. It was smooth, creamy, and had the perfect peanut butter flavor. As a huge peanut butter fan, this is easily one of my new favorite coffee drinks. I'll definitely be back to order it again!

    Matcha Tea Latte

    I got the iced Matcha latte with almond milk and sugar sugar-free vanilla syrup. I like that they don't charge extra for non-dairy milk or flavorings. I will say I was disappointed when I saw him pouring out the Matcha that was already pre-mixed, for $7.50 I would have preferred it to be made fresh on the spot. The service is quick, and there's indoor and outdoor seating options. I could definitely picture myself bringing a laptop and working here for a few hours. It's a pretty mellow spot. I didn't get to try any of the pastries, but they looked good.

    I liked the peanut butter latte- surprise, it tastes like peanut butter lol! Service was fast and friendly, I went close to when they opened and a line was already forming!

    Went on a hangout day with my niece and we tried the pistachio matcha and the caramel latte. I loved my matcha, I felt like there was a good balance of flavors with the pistachio. My niece also liked her latte, she said next time she would add more caramel. Good amount of seating and right across from the library which was nice !

    Got this drink from my student since he knows I like matcha lattes and he wanted me to try his favorite shop in downtown. If you like matcha and pistachio, this is definitely a must-try! :) I love trying new flavors and this is a good mix! Love the cream foam on top. Can't wait to go there in person and try more things!

    Carlos Santana sang about her...Maria, Maria! Well, Kos has a Maria and she's one of the most friendly people I've met in a long time! It was so soooo nice chatting with her. Small world when we actually talk...communicate. Her daughter is a fellow runner! The spot is like the perfect street corner coffee shop. The junkies in the area kinda suck but it is what it is downtown nowadays. Don't let it deter ya from trying this place out. Ok, so the drink...this Peanut Butter Latte is unreal! I was immediately intrigued and it was a great choice.

    The Kos Latte: Pistachio and Matcha with almond milk and cold foam (half sweet)
    Teresa S.

    As a Matcha lover, I approve of this spot for Matcha. Located by Petco park in a small corner area. Parking is a hassle but that's nothing new when you're in downtown, so plan on searching for parking. It's worth the time. Inside, was modern and has adequate seating. The service was pleasant and my drink was made in decent timing. I ordered The Kos Latte: Organic Matcha, Pistachio Cream And Cold foam with almond milk. I ordered it half sweet since I wanted to taste the purity of the matcha. It did not disappoint. The drink was so creamy and rich with a nutty pistachio and matcha flavor. I savored every sip. I also appreciate the fact that they offer different cup size options and not just one size for all drinks. Glad I tried this place and I will be returning for more matcha and other items. Thanks Kos Coffee for putting so much passion into every drink.

    The coffee here is really good. The service is fast. It's very clean. The inside is kinda small but they have outdoor seats. The yogurt bowl was very good and aesthetic. The parties looked soooo good.

    Kos Latte $7.25 without tax included
    Leanne C.

    Ordered a small Kos Latte with soy milk on a Sunday morning. I want to say it looked like a 12 oz cup. It cost $7.25 without tax/tip included. I could taste the pistachio. If you like your matcha sweet, this one is for you. They added sprinkles of pistachio on it as well which was a nice touch. However, I couldn't really taste the matcha as much as I wanted. Kos is right next to the library and also near Petco Park. Paid parking available and one 15 min slot just right next to it if you're lucky.

    Iced Peanut Butter Latte & Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting!

    So good! I got the Iced Peanut Butter Latte and Homemade Carrot Cake with cream cheese frosting! Get this combo! You won't regret! I enjoyed my coffee and cake in their outdoor eating area where you can people watch and enjoy the SD summer breeze! Met the owner, Yemen- super nice & warm! Love supporting small business owners! Enjoy!

    Lovely coffee shop! Interior is beautiful, as well some outdoor seating. They were decked out with cute christmas decor! I got a peanut butter latte which was the perfect level of sweet + had lots of PB - and got to sit down and do some work. There is wifi and outlets!

    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.

I got the Orange Dream latte because I've never tried a latte with orange in it, but it was delicious! Kind of like a vanilla latte with a citrusy aftertaste. The Piloncillo Latte was also delicious, and whatever oat milk they use is great, super creamy and not watery at all. The guy on the register was super nice and kind as well, and I really appreciate him going out of his way to give everyone in our party a unique recommendation.

Artwork is very beautiful and fits the Barrio Logan scene perfectly. I arrived with nobody inside the business minus the workers, you had maybe 2 people outside enjoying the scenery and their drinks. Not greeted upon entering the business just gave me that stare with not asking if I had any questions. I dont recall his name but he was very skinny, curly hair or wavy and i believe he had braces, but not sure if he was having a bad day but something wasn't all there. I ordered 2 drinks, I forget the other but it had cinnamon on top. The drinks were just hand on the counter without saying which drinks is which, so i asked which one is which. Didn't hear me, so i kinda said again and he pointed them out not in a nice or rude way but the approach of how it was handled was not friendly. How can you have Mazapán without the Mazapán crumbles which are very iconic to the drink. I just found it super strange and did not care for it. The cinnamon based drink was good tho, which I'll give them that. Experience could have been better.

    We've been wanting to check out Long Play Hi-Fi for a while, and after finally finding it (which is…read morepart of the experience ).. It's got this hidden, almost speakeasy vibe. You ring the doorbell, wait patiently, and once you're inside, you realize this isn't your typical coffee shop. It's a place to slow down, enjoy the music, and savor your drink. Monique and Danica were both amazing. They're warm, welcoming, and you can really see the passion behind what they do. Danica is also the DJ, and her eclectic playlist made the whole experience even better. One of my favorite parts was just sitting there watching our drinks being made. You can see the care and craft that goes into every cup...even the Kuramoto ice is beautiful. The Matcha Americano completely changed my perception of matcha. The Kyoto cold brew pour-over was fascinating to watch and incredibly smooth. We loved it so much that we came back the very next day. This time I had the Midori, and my brother-in-law loved the Highball, especially the yuzu. No laptops. Trust the DJ. Drinks are meant to be enjoyed fresh, so take your time. If you're looking for a quick coffee run, this isn't it. But if you appreciate great coffee, good music, and people who are passionate about their craft, Long Play Hi-Fi is absolutely worth the visit.

The menu featured various matcha tea drinks which seems to be all the rage right now. The same seating arrangement of the bar countertop and tables across from it was available if you wanted to hang out and chill. A sign behind the bar described the ceremonial grade matcha that was used with the region of origin and the flavors imparted to the powder. Five different matcha drinks were offered along with hot and cold coffees and lattes. The top three matcha choices were priced at $8 each. I chose the Ordinary Pleasure which was the first one. Pandan sticky rice milk and mango puree were added to the matcha and topped with a salted coconut foam. I wasn't a fan of the foam, but the matcha flavor was intense and contrasted by the fruity puree on the bottom of the cup. The baristas were very focused with measuring the exact amounts for each ingredient in the drinks they were preparing. The matcha quality seemed to be very good based on what I tasted so maybe it's why the price was $1 higher than what I have tried elsewhere.
