    I absolutely luv businesses like this. This side of the road quaint coffee shop is the first place I ordered coffee in the San Diego area. Maria's Coffee Shop has everything you need for your morning jolt of caffeine. Customer service is the thing I luv about independant businesses. Breakfasts burritos, Tamales, Bagels, & Empanadas are available. 6:30am to 7pm...

    This is a very nice little coffee shop kiosk. Maria, the owner serves up delicious espresso based beverages and a great drip coffee as well. In addition to the coffees and teas, she offers locally baked goods, home made burritos caseros, tortas, and on Thursdays and Fridays she offers homemade tamales. I had a cortado, a meat and potato burrito, and a bean and cheese burrito. The cortado was well made. It was smooth and rich and quite tasty. The mini burritos were very tasty. Both the meat and potatoes were tender, and the beans and cheese delicious. I was very pleased with the salsa Maria serves with the burritos. Be sure to ask for it. For the moment, the place is to go only. You can can call ahead orders. Service is very nice and friendly.

    Maria says these signs mean parking only for the businesses.

    Maria's is a walkup kiosk in a parking lot opposite the ice cream / barbecue store area. There are intimidating tow away signs in the lot apparently to fend off nearby residents but Maria says it is ok for customers. Hours are 6:30 am to 3pm she said. There is an espresso and tea menu with the usual choices. I think there are three sizes because my small Americano looked normal but my wife's large capp was enormous-- too big for a capp. She found it acceptable but milky due to the size. My Americano was good. They have decaf. We each had a fancy donut, frosted and mine was even stuffed. Great! If you are hungry there are tortas (a sandwich-like dish) and if you get there before they are gone on Thursday or Friday, tamales. It would be nice if they would give her a couple of spaces for tables. We are very glad to have Maria's here, having previously noted the need for coffee in this area.

    Visited Maria's on Friday around noon and was able to pick up a couple of Tamales before they sold out. I think I got the last pork one they had. Also got a coffee and tiramisu because it looked so good. The tamales were hot and delicious! I was very surprised how flavorful they were, especially the jalapeño cheese one. Coffee and dessert was excellent as well. Such a cute stand and the service was so friendly and helpful when trying to decide what to get. Try and get there early because they sell out of tamales and burritos! This place is a real hidden gem.

    Raspberry mocha latte, 10/10.

    This place is cute and the menu is great! They offer discounts on lattes throughout the week, I believe 3-6pm. Will def go back again.

    Great service, delicious tamales & amazing coffee! I have never seen coffee with mazapan offered & man was it good! 10/10 would recommend to everyone in the area. Maria is a pro & was patient with me while I practiced my Spanish with her. This spot is a local gem, definitely give it a try.

    Great coffee again! Iced French vanilla coffee with almond milk. Want this little stop to get more traction. The coffee is genuinely good. On the stronger and less sweet side which I LOVE. Lovely person making the coffee too. Sweet and kind. Easy place to pull into and grab a quick coffee as you're driving down Fletcher.

I'm pretty sure I've eaten their sweets - I just don't remember the old shop's name. Habibi Sweets, on the other hand, with their assortment of baklavas and Turkish Delights gave me a teasing taste of one of their more popular confections. My order included two rolled green-colored baklavas, One Almond dough pastry brimming with nuts and seeds, a coconut.TD, and for the pièce de résistance, this dark red Rose Petal Turkish Delight that was to die for! I remember my foray into chewy Turkish delights 25 years ago and this one was beyond delightful! Plus, it's non-GMO and Gluten-free! And there's more! The friendly staff, namely Zina gave me a small free box of even more assortment of baklavas to try which will surely be shared with my family.

    Still my go to place when I'm craving something sweet and special. Their cakes may be pricey, but…read morein my opinion, for the amount of work, effort, and quality of ingredients, I think they continue to be fair. For example, some other specialty bakeries/shops are charging similar prices for cakes and cheesecakes that are much simpler. In comparison, Extraordinary Dessert cakes take 3-4 days to make, have 6-8 alternating layers, and are typically adorned with edible gold and/or flowers. The key is to find which items you like and which are okay to pass on next time. What we ried this time: -Match Misu Cake (7/10): ricotta cake layers soaked in matcha and layered with marscapone whipped cream. This one was pretty good and ranks in my middle to high range. I only wish there was more matcha flavor (maybe if you dine in and get the sauce, this would help) or the matcha was paired with another flavor ... either go fruity (maybe a raspberry sauce, strawberry pieces, white peach pieces, or like a peach oolong cream layer) or go chocolately/coffee (maybe had some crushed up chocolate covered espresso beans). My go to's: -Ivoire Royale (10/10) - my ultimate favorite still. If you like light desserts, white chocolate, berries, and moist vanilla cake, thus one is for you. Classy and unpretentious -Shangrila (10/10) - my other favorite and will make you feel like a princess with all the pink chocolate curls. A little bit adventurous and innocently elegant. Ones to skip: -Au Chocolate / La Bete Noire / Dame Chocolate - get the Viking instead. That's my favorite of all their chocolate cakes -Lemon ricotta - get the Passionfruit Ricotta instead -Torta misu - the matcha misu is better. The tortilla misuse made me want a regular piece of tirmaisu than a cake version -Coconut cream - not bad, not amazing though

Also just so everyone is aware they're also liars just to mention & stupid.. she tells us her name is Karen thinking we don't know the owners name lol .. She was at the register at 7:20pm and was extremely rude and dismissive after we placed our order, especially regarding a child's dietary restrictions and health concerns. We politely asked if it would be possible to purchase a small cup of fruit , even just a couple strawberries cut up, because one child in our group cannot have sweets due to very strict dietary restrictions . Instead of simply saying they were unable to accommodate the request or offering another option, we were told to "go somewhere else," despite already spending the amount we did . The complete lack of professionalism and basic customer service was honestly shocking. It's disappointing to be treated that way at a place we have supported so consistently. This place has been going downhill , management for this place needs to step up .

We showed up on a Sunday night and ended up waiting for a solid hour, so definitely come prepared for long lines! But honestly, the way they do things makes it worth it. They actually let you sample every single flavor before you commit to a scoop, which is such a game-changer. We ended up going with the chocolate and chocolate chip butter cookies, it was incredibly rich and hit the spot. We also tried the Nutella bread pudding, and the flavor was just amazing. A few heads-up: * Parking: It's virtually non-existent, so give yourself some extra time to circle the block. * Service: The owner and the staff are super friendly and welcoming, even with the crowd. If you're in San Diego, you have to try this spot at least once. Just bring a friend and some patience for the wait!

Ever since the word got out, the line is usually wrapped around the corner. Pair this with the tasting sessions, and you could be waiting upwards of an hour for your gelato. That was the case with me and my unnamed partner this past Sunday at 4 o clock in the evening. A nice worker named Jae was kind enough to give out samples to those waiting in line, which I thought was a nice touch! And the workers are very knowledgable about the flavors and how they are produced. Is the gelato so good that it's worth the possible hour long wait? Maybe to some. If you aren't booked or pressed for time, I'd say give this a shot! My favorite flavor of the month is the illustrious Canvas, which was Olive Oil and Rosemary flavored, with an optional sprinkling of Black Sea Salt. The building has props that feel like a dry cleaning business, which is cute. All in all, a good experience, but dress accordingly if you decide to wait.
