Banana Bread Latte
Karen N.

i was in the area for a conference and had seen lazy eye coffee pop up as a recommendation, so i had to try it out! there was a limited spring flavor that i wanted to try, but they ran out of the syrup for it :( i ended up getting the banana bread latte, and i thought that it was a pretty good coffee with a good banana flavor. it was a bit acidic for me personally and not as smooth as i usually like it, but it was overall still good. the stand itself is small with only a few people working, so it takes a bit longer for each drink, but i like how they put care into the drinks! beware tho that parking here is pretty bad, so be prepared to carpool and find street parking.

Large peanut butter cup latte
Arnold T.

Got the peanut butter cup latte and I think it could more peanut butter flavor. I can taste the chocolate but not so much of the peanut butter. The classic bagel has a house made herb cream cheese with tomato and cucumber. I personally don't like dill so this isn't my cup of tea. Place is very pet friendly they offer pup cups is a plus for us. Plenty of seating.

Classic bagel sandwich
Curt T.

The peanut butter cup mocha was good. I would have liked more peanut butter flavor and the chocolate was good. Not overly sweet so I liked that. The classic bagel sandwich was ok. Good amount of cream cheese. Although it looks amazing and very picturesque I would have liked thinner slices of tomorrow and the cucumber in slices as well. The service was friendly and fast. Dog friendly inside and outside and they have oup cups!! I'd be back

Great coffee shop to get work done. Mid BLT but did the job. Not mad at it. Comfy seats.

A real life Central Perk! I completely forgot to review this place! I've been coming here for over a year now and it's by far the best coffee shop in the area, possibly in all of San Diego. You expect a cafe to have good coffee, but what about a plethora of food options? From pastries to breakfast burritos to veggie bagel sandwiches? (My personal favorite.) Will they have quirky decor and a cozy à la Friends feel to it? Come here with a book on a warm day when they have the bay doors open and tell me it's not paradise. If you're a student or work from home professional, this place should be your default second desk. Everyone that works here is so nice, especially the owner Ashley. I'd be in a good mood too if I was running the best coffee shop in a city the size of San Diego.

Lovely coffee shop with cute decor. Has plenty of seating so you can come grab a nice beverage and/or snack and work a little bit. Staff is friendly. Parking is only street parking and that can be a little tough but possible to find. Only thing I would not recommend is the Brie toast with walnuts and hot honey. Just did not work for me.

One of the main coffee shops I visit when I am in town. I love that there is ample seating for big groups or just if you need to get some work done. It is also dog friendly and nice customer service. Not only did I see the shop was decorated, but the employees were always dressed up too, which I think is so cute. Their coffees are good and I have done a few of their seasonal sandwiches and burritos. But what I absolutely love is all the food options they have for vegetarians. And I don't just mean a pastry. They have veggie OR soyrizo burritos! Even better, there is a $10 deal for a drip coffee and burrito. So not only is it tasty, it's affordable. Highly recommend a quick stop breakfast here or even just a chill place to catch up with friends!

I was in North Park, needing to get some coffee and breakfast before getting my hair done and I decided on this place after a Google search. I liked the aesthetic of the place based on the pics. It's open and airy and not busy on a Sunday. I was excited to try one of their flavored lattes, which was the Banana Bread Latte with oat milk I also got the Ultimate Bagel on an Everything bagel. The latte, tasted nothing like banana bread. To be honest, it tasted like a Vanilla Latte. There's nothing too special about it and I was super disappointed. It was watery and no distinct flavors stood out to me. I was so disappointed that I got another latte somewhere else later on. As for the bagel, it was pretty tasty and filling. The bagel was soft and ingredients were fresh. The place looked like a good place to study but there were a lot of flies when I was waiting. Hard to compete with Between Us across the street (which was packed by the way) and Saigon Coffee just a short walk away.

Lazy Eye Coffee feels like the perfect place for a neighborhood hang. Corner spot, big spacious interior, drinks and food to enjoy. The only downside, parking. Thus, best to come by if you're in walking distance. On a Friday afternoon, the place was half full. There were lots of folks working on their computers thanks to the free WiFi. My only challenge working here would be that it's pretty hot. It's all open aired so it can get really warm in here. They had a seasonal special of a rose lychee latte made with their homemade rose lychee syrup. I asked if I could swap the espresso for matcha. The rose lychee syrup was perfectly paired with matcha and the drink was delicious! It needed a little more ice but I appreciated that they didn't skimp on the actual drink to ensure it was full! Fun options in a great space!

This place is such a vibe! Service was great and there is so much seating. I got the banana split latte and sat by the open window to people watch, such a nice way to start the day!

Banana Bread Latte and banana split latte
Julianna C.

I came to try the banana bread latte and banana split latte. They were very disappointing and I was surprised as I saw on social media that people really enjoyed them. Maybe they were having an off day but it didn't taste like banana bread, banana split, or really anything other than coffee and cream at all

Breakfast burrito with barely any egg or sausage inside it was mostly just tortilla.
Pearl H.

I'm so bummed to be leaving this review but I'm really disappointed after paying $11 for a breakfast burrito here. the burrito itself was actually pretty good, but it came out cold and there was barely any filling in it. It was mostly tortilla. That's why it was even more weird that they just tossed my avocado on top of the burrito versus putting it inside. There was plenty of space for it. I ended up having to shove the avocado in one by one by myself as I was eating it.. I hope it was just an off day, but it was definitely not worth what I paid

Back home in SD and was hyped for a breakfast burrito, but unfortunately mine was probably one of the worst. It was mostly a big blob of folded tortilla with barely any egg or sausage. I couldn't believe someone would actually serve this. Hopefully no one else runs into the same issue.

Reviews are generally positive. People highlight the friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere, and creative drink options. The space is also good for working.

So I made the trek over. Heads up: there's construction nearby, so parking was a struggle. Unfortunately, the visit ended up being a bit of a letdown. First off, they didn't have ice. I like my morning drinks iced, and I still ordered the bibingka latte, but it came without ice -- I ended up having to grab some from another restaurant since my work doesn't have a fridge. I was also excited for the longanisa sandwich, but they didn't have any hot sandwiches. What they did have was cheese rolls, a guava-filled ensaymada, and pandesal. The pastries were frozen, so he had to warm them up, which took a while. On the drink, I'd give it a 2.5/5. It was OK, but not something I'd order again. It was a balance of sweet and savory, with hints of rice flour and coconut milk -- but even ordering it less sweet, it still came out too sweet for me. The pastries were also just OK. My favorite of the bunch was the ensaymada. I really wanted to love this place given the concept, but between the missing ice, no hot sandwiches, and the frozen pastries, it didn't quite come together this visit.

Seating: Seating was available inside when we visited. Parking: Street parking only, so you'll need to park nearby and walk over. I really enjoyed Saigon Coffee and would definitely come back! Next time, I'd love to try a stronger order since that's more my preference.

I got their seasonal drink, the lucid dream, per the barista's recommendation. I do NOT recommend this drink. Unless you like mediciney, licorice taste. It was advertised as a rootbeer esque drink, and I love root beer, but the star anise and wintergreen just completely overpowered the drink and left a very sour aftertaste. The drink was very silky at first, but that's about all it had going for it. I even went home and tried to modify it by adding cold brew, cream and honey and even sea salt to cut the flavor away, but the medicinal herbal flavors were just too strong. This one was a miss, the drink alone was a 1 star. But i tried my friend's drink and it wasn't bad, so maybe I'd try a more normal drink or the cherry almond soda drink and see how it is.
