Sometimes a review doesn't require a lengthy pontification of how fabulous a place is. It speaks volumes when there is a continuous line, happy faces and repeat customers. This coffee shop presents with natural light, airy, spacious with tons of plants, protein bars, snacks, books, chachkies, and refrigerated items. The MATCHA is hands down one of the best I have tasted in any state. 5 stars across the board.

In the heart of North Park. A lovely aesthetically pleasing high quality coffee shop. If I was closer I would frequent this place on my mama. Anyway my friend Ebony is finally back on the West Coast!! So we got coffee and matcha and celebrated. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Street parking is better on the weekdays. We throughly enjoyed our drinks period! Ebony got the Golden Girl latte (brown sugar, molasses, good honey, pink salt, golden grahams, espresso + milk). Her go-to is the Bees Kneez (honey, vanilla, cinnamon, smoked salt, espresso + milk). I got the WildChild (lavender, mint, rosemary, thyme, organic matcha + milk) and it was wild like out of this world wild. So fresh and there were subtle hints of mint and rosemary. Ebony ordered with almond milk and I ordered with oat milk. Winning all around. Next time I would like to try Bodhi Boy (lavender, vanilla, organic matcha + milk) for more of a lavendar vibe. I also throughly enjoyed the minty matcha: Evergreen Parke (fresh mint, vanilla, organic matcha + milk). The baristas are flawless, friendly, and full of recommendations. Great service. Love to see it! Enjoy!!

Lovesong is a neat coffee shop churning unique coffee and matcha concoctions while staying cute and classy in North Park. It's located just around the corner from Pigment and has big long on the windowsill, inside like stadium seats, at the bar, and tables outside. Their drinks are unique with molasses, rosemary, pink Himalayan sea salt, brown sugar, and much more. They're not overly sweet and smooth going down. The ambiance is chill, the service good, and the little shop indoors has gifts and snacks for purchase.

Love Song in San Diego is super cute. The space is open, bright, and just really nice to hang out in for a bit. I got the Evergreen Parke and my friend got the Bodhi Boy. The matcha was alright, a little sweeter than I like and the matcha flavor itself was kinda weak. I'd probably come back more for the vibe than the drinks, but still a solid spot to chill.

Lovesong is hands down my favorite coffee shop in San Diego. And coming from Seattle, I do not say that lightly. Their menu is so creative with unique and interesting drinks you don't see everywhere else, and my personal favorite is the Bee's Knees - love the Smoked salt w the vanilla. They're always busy, which says a lot. The storefront is cute, there's plenty of seating and outlets if you want to work for a few hours, and they're super dog friendly. And I may have to go out on a limb and say this... their veggie croissant sandwich is the best croissant sandwich I've ever had. Massive chunks of artichoke, this incredible sweet maple tomato butter situation, perfectly flaky croissant - it's genuinely to die for. If you're in North Park or University Heights, you absolutely need to check this spot out.

I am pleased to have found the Rizzler here at Lovesong coffee!!! I'm not a big big fan of coffee normally due to being jittery but I will drink coffee that has a hint of strawberry and chocolate in it. I love it so much! This is my petition to keep the Rizzler on the menu forever please!!!!! (I was told it's seasonal) I honestly would rather come here than the coffee down the street that doesn't always have friendly baristas upon entering store. I like smiles, ok? I've came here about 3x already for the Rizzler in the past two weeks and every experience I have had with the baristas has been great. Thanks Lovesong coffee for making great coffee and the great ambiance :') Bathroom available Indoor seating Outdoor seating WiFi available 1 plug Free parking and paid parking nearby

I'm always looking for a new Coffee Spot to check out each week and this week's was LoveSong in North park. I got the Jack Johnson iced latte and it was pretty good. I'll order anything with banana in it. To me the service was regular. Nothing bad by any means but it did not stand out either. It is street parking only and it's North Park so that's always going to be difficult. We had to park several blocks away. We did have to take our coffee to go as there was no decent seating. There's outside seating and those were all taken and then there was some seats on the ledge with cushions but it was about 85° in the blazing sun so we were not going to sit there. And then they had seats inside in the corner but it's almost like bleacher seating so where you're sitting someone's feet are right there and they are above you and behind you. My friend and I were like absolutely not we are not sitting there. It's sound like a very odd seating setup. And I asked one of my friends about it and she also agreed. So very disappointing that we had to get our coffee to go.

Double down, bee

Love this place! The aesthetic is super cute and they have lots of other products you can buy while waiting in line. The line can sometimes be long but it moves quick and the staff are all really nice. I had ordered this my first time here as a recommendation by the worker at the register as I told her how I normally like my drinks and she gave me the perfect recommendation as I think the drink I got, the double down bee, is so tasty I get this now every time I go here. It kind of tastes like a cinnamon-y cereal but in the best way. I've also brought my friends here who all got different drinks (the bodhi boy, the pool party, and a vanilla matcha latte) and all were hits with my friends per their tastes as well. Definitely something here for everyone :)

I go to Lovesong occasionally when I get the time to drive to North Park. I live 25ish minutes away here but I still drive here just to get coffee! Inside has a good amount of indoor seating to do work on your laptop or just to hang out. There is a pretty good amount of outdoor seating too. The service is great and if you need any changes or additions to your drinks, the staff is happy to help with it. Parking is kind of bad but that is honestly everywhere in North Park. I recommend going here! What I usually order: I frequently order this iced coffee called the Flower Child. I like coconut so I like to order it and add the salted coconut cream top. If you don't, you can leave it plain or add other cream tops. The breakfast sandwiches are also so good. This past visit, I ordered a different drink to try things up and it was also so good! I ordered The Jack Johnson (and added salted coconut cream top). NOTE: Okay so one time I found a hair in the coffee and asked them to remake it and they remade it. Also, sometimes my breakfast sando isn't warmed through all the way and I hope that is something that they fix. The sandwiches seem to be cold before they heat it in their toaster oven and sometimes the center is cold. I don't really know how to ask them to fix that, since by the time I get there, I had already bit into it and I am not sure if they can reheat it after that. Maybe they should toast it slightly longer. No shade! Love this place and I keep coming back.

Pool Party! and WildChild

After two visits, I can confirm that the vibe here is unbeatable. I love the open format where there are seats on the "windowsill" and people are actually studying at the bar where the kind baristas are doing their thang! I've been looking for a similar café in the Bay Area because I love the vibe here so much. I did come here to try their Matcha, since their menu has such unique combinations of flavors. I have tried four of their Matcha lattes and have yet to try a coffee, which I actually think I would enjoy more here. While their drinks are good in the sense that I enjoyed sipping on them, you wouldn't exactly come here for a drink that tastes really like Matcha. You come here to taste the combo of caramelized fig, rosemary, and smoked salt in their "Twisted Sister" or pineapple and coconut in "Maui Babe." What I'm trying to say is, I appreciate the creativity put into each drink, but I wouldn't come here if I just wanted a strong matcha latte.

highlights: - $8 for a cup of matcha seems expensive - very loud inside, no formal tables - they do have outdoor seating/benches - maybe not the best place to get work done? very cramped - lavender matcha bodhi boy was VERY good, but half the cup was ice :/

Matcha
Brisa B.

Lovesong coffee has some of the best matcha! It's the perfect balance of matcha and sweetener. The Bodhi Boy is not too sweet and perfect without any modification. The service is fast if you go early on a weekend! Anything later than 9am you'll have to wait a bit in line. They have lots of goodies for sale to look through while you wait in line. The decorations are lots of plants and greenery. It's a quiet place to sit and work from as well, with seating inside and outside.

The bees kneez
Diane C.

Cute little cafe but the drinks were just okay. I got both a matcha and coffee, both mediocre. The matcha barely had a matcha flavor, tasted more watered down, latte was slightly better but for a $7-8 drink, I wouldn't come back especially if I wanted a pick me up. There are far better cafes to get my caffeine fix.

Prices did seem a bit inflated but you're in a Ralph's downtown in San Diego so it was expected. Bathrooms require a code with a purchase from the store which was also to be expected. Employees there are definitely rude and sarcastic which brought down the experience of going there. They do have a patio but there are a good amount of homeless people around there so not sure if eating your lunch there is the best idea.

I entered the store and found my way to the back were the bathrooms are only to find that I needed a code to unlock the door. I suppose that is a necessary evil given the homeless problem in and around the store. For folks like me who just need to pee, it was a real hassle. I scouted around the store for a couple of minutes looking for an employee who might provide me with the code. After not having any luck, I said "F*ck it" and left. I just held it until we arrived at the building where the car was parked and used the facilities there. The store, did however, look like a pretty good Ralph's if you live or were staying nearby.

I love this store! I rarely shop here, but one day after lunch, I wanted dessert and I remembered…read morethey had Julian apple pies. I've been in before and bought one of my favorite wines, but it was all about dessert today. I also grabbed a Talenti vanilla gelato because you can't have apple pie without it being ala mode! I waited at the register since there wasn't anyone around, but then the friendly worker came out from over by the coffee area. Apologized and rang me up. He: The pie is 50% off Me: What? He: Yes Scored! They offer the discount when the pie is a day after its "sell by" but it was still delicious! Ok, so now I'm going to stop in when I'm in the neighborhood. I still would've paid full price because I love Julian pies! Great little market!

Service is always helpful and friendly, from answering questions to finding things. The second half of the store even contains a deli & coffee shop. Finally tried their Latte and it's perfect. But best of all, if you don't feel like cooking, they offer fresh lasagna & eggplant parmigiana in the fridge to reheat at home -and they're delicious! Store is clean and well organized. It's difficult to leave without an armful of goodies!!

They also have pour your own maple syrup and honey. You can also make your own peanut butter and almond butter! Really cool, first time I've seen that! The store also offers a variety of fruits and vegetables and other produce items. We only explored the first floor I would want to go check out the second floor next time.
