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!

The Ultimate Bagel Nammich. Ig @mel_foodie_ventures.

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.

Really delicious food but the portions are so tiny! So just a fair warning. Quite busy on a Friday…read morenight but we luckily made reservations and got seated maybe ~10 minutes after checking in. Food: - Flat iron steak: delicious and super tendy with a nice crust. Came with an arugula salad - Fish of the day: today was rock fish with a creamy panang/thai sauce and it was DELICIOUS - Duck: my table's favorite dish. You can make your own tiny tacos and the macha chili was seriously the best thing ever - French fries: nice horsestring fries, cant go wrong - Tuna crudo: super light and citrusy and flavorful, but only like 5-6 pieces - Chicken skewers: this honestly fell really flat. Would not recommend, i'd say it's the worst thing on the menu and surprisingly fell short. Doesnt feel like it belongs on the menu. - Brussel Sprouts: really good and unique with a peanut butter sauce - Mac and cheese: yummy but nothing special Overall was a great experience but I'd probably only come here on special occasions. Their drinks were also fantastic - the cantaloupe was super tasty. Shoutout Ola for being the best waiter!

Overview: 3.5/5 food hit or miss, service phenomenal, atmosphere beautiful…read more ---- Wednesday is all day happy hour! We got a large variety of dishes at a fraction of their usual price. The happy hour stand outs for me were the: - lamb meatballs $12 - this was the unanimous favorite amongst us, the flavors and juiciness of the meat was great ($4 per ball) - pork belly bao buns 3 for $16 - succulent and tender meat that basically melts in your mouth bc the fat in the best way, and the buns were super soft as well I enjoyed the flavor "crispy" brussel sprouts $10 but the texture was no where near crispy, they were cooked thoroughly but kinda mushy. The steak $25 was ordered as medium rare and was a bit too rare for our liking. But the fries were nice and crispy. The worst thing about the meal was the mac and cheese $8. We all tried it and agreed that it had issues with it being bland and having no depth of flavor, and the cornflake crumble tasted like old oil and stale cereal. Everyone's least favorite item of the night. ---- Notes: - we sat inside and there's not much air flow, it got pretty stuffy and hot during our meal - service was very attentive and charismatic, Dalton did a great job helping with allergy concerns - They were kind enough to split the bill in 3 but unfortunately charged me for an extra beer and I didn't notice it until after we had left - parking was okay, able to find paid street parking around the area ---- Overall: I reallyyyy wanted to like this place more, and I will probably give it another chance in the future bc I see such great potential. The food was just inconsistent btwn dishes with some being amazing and others subpar. If you want to try this place out definitely go on a Wednesday for their all-day happy hour bc their food at their regular prices wouldn't be worth it in my opinion.

We said we would wait for water but it never came around and they never checked up on it. I ordered the sampler that came with chilaquiles, beans, huevos rancheros, and corn tamal. When I ordered it, the server asked "and what would you like for your meat?" Her wording made it sound as if there was a protein that came with the chilaquiles. I was caught off guard at the end of the meal when I saw that there was a hefty (for the small portion) additional charge for the tough and flavorless carne asada. Maybe it wasn't intentional, but I think it would be better phrased as, "would you like to add protein?" for it to be less ambiguous. Nobody likes to be surprised with a higher bill than expected. I did not think the chilaquiles lived up its claim to be the best. It was pretty good, but the carne asada actually hindered it rather than helped it. Definitely get something else if you want to add protein to your dish. I was unhappy with the level of service, and the price didn't match the quality of the food. There are so many better spots in SD for Mexican food.

Thank goodness there was room too, because wow oh wow. It has been three weeks and we keep talking about that happy hour. LOL I appreciated that their happy hour menu wasn't all snackable appetizers; there were smaller-sized dishes for those less hungry, too! I ordered the Kiwilango slider + fries, my mom got the HH fish & chips, and my dad got the wagyu smash slider. Plus $10 beers, of course. Everything came out quickly and beautifully portioned, which made getting dessert (magpie ice cream cake) a no brainer. Delicious!!!

Sausage rolls were an absolute must. My only gripe was that it seemed like it was a bit understaffed for brunch on a Friday morning. There was only one waitress that we could see. Also the prices are quite high with additional protein options varying by dish rather than a generic price. For example, to add a protein to "The Cure" dish, it was only $3 but to add it to the French toast, it was an additional $7. Made no sense. Also the mandatory 4% credit card fee at a restaurant felt a bit tacky considering how much you're already spending on the meal. Overall, I'd still probably come back again but with cash.
