If you are reading this... GO TRY MARTA'S SEASONAL QUICHE!! This is the best quiche I've ever had, so flavorful! Genuinely chef's kiss. I love that it has a blue corn masa crust, and the jalapeño ricotta dip pairs perfectly with the corn and squash in the quiche. Everything works together so well. I also got their iced rosemary latte with oat milk; it was 1000/10, seriously a must-try. It was pretty busy when I got there, but the actual service was so fast! The baristas are super friendly and were happy to give me other recommendations. read more

A really cute new coffee shop on Adams Ave. the service is very friendly. I enjoyed the iced strawberry matcha latte. I guess my only complaint would be the size of the drink ..it's pretty small. They have some nice looking pastries as well that I'll try next time. read more

Freshly brewed, friendly, clean and perfectly decorated. Arrived at 7 a.m. on a Saturday and were greeted by 2 happy employees. Small coffee menu, freshly baked delicious raspberry or blueberry scones. Truly enjoyed my drip iced coffee and scones. My daughter ordered the Mexican Michelangelo, tasty. read more

Love how much sunlight there is in this new spot! One of the best croissants I've had in SD and I also love their raspberry orange muffin. There are not a lot of latte flavors but my vanilla latte is good. Perfect spot for reading breaks. read more

Was on a morning walk on Adams and happened to come across what appeared to be a new coffee shop in the neighborhood. Had some time before work so we picked up a chai, a drip coffee, and an almond croissant to bring home. The interior aesthetic is very clean, bright, and spacious. There's a small side patio for outdoor seating. Seems like a friendly and welcoming new spot to keep in the coffee rotation! Excited to try more of the menu in the near future. read more

The coffee and pastries here speak for themselves. Really good cold brew and the lemon blueberry scone was sweet and not overly dry. And I do the coffee shop thing a lot. read more

I was really excited to hear that this coffee shop was opening up right above the street from my house. And it definitely does not disappoint! The coffee was delicious and the pastries are made in house everyday and they are all so good, I've tried almost every one at this point and you can't go wrong with any of them! I love the simplicity of the menu it makes its easy to pick a drink with ease. The staff are all so friendly and the service is very fast. Definitely will be coming back here! read more

This new spot has been popping off on TikTok for its minimalist vibes and legendary Paru matcha. Of course, I had to check it out, especially after being disappointed in my first taste of Paru matcha at Java Earth. I went in before noon on a Tuesday, and the cafe was already packed! My boyfriend and I had to stand around for a bit to find a place to sit. The outdoor seating was available, but it was bright and sunny out and we didn't want to boil, lol. The first impression admittedly wasn't the best. I don't know why all the new coffee shops in SD are so menu-phobic, but I am awfully tired of walking into coffee shops and not being able to scan a full-size menu up on the wall. After having to awkwardly step off to the side to where the register was, we were greeted by two small paper menus. The barista seemed pretty annoyed that we didn't know what we wanted (which, no posted menu?) and she immediately had us step over to the side to read the menu and take another customer, telling us to "call her when we were ready" in a very curt tone. She literally pushed the menus out of our way and across the countertop as we were looking at them! As a barista of five years, I get it, but a little friendliness goes a long way. As for the drinks, they were pretty tasty! My boyfriend had a cappuccino, and the foam was nicely textured. The espresso itself was nice and strong with a smooth mouthfeel and citrusy, earthy flavor. The matcha I was glad to see being traditionally prepped with a bamboo chasen! That is very hard to come by in SD, so kudos to Marta. This allowed for my matcha latte to have the great taste I expect from Paru. Overall, the experience was meh. The awkward navigation and lackluster customer service wasn't a great first impression. Having delicious drinks is one thing, but having a more customer-focused approach makes a world of difference and allows for repeat visits. I'd be willing to give this place a second try, but mostly because the matcha was really good. read more

The ambiance was very cool and minimalistic. There is a small seating area outdoors that seems dog friendly. The service was quick but it was a slower Monday, not sure how it is on a busier day. Honestly, not my favorite Strawberry Matcha I've gotten, but I won't be taking off any stars for it. I prefer a richer and sweeter Matcha and this was definitely lighter and more earthy. I recognize this is more of a preference. I will say the strawberry they put in it was delicious, and made me enjoy it even if it wasn't my favorite. Also though, with tax the matcha came out to $8, which is on the pricier side for the area. I wouldn't rebuy it personally, but if I was in a caffeine craving I might stop by again due to convenience. read more

I work a couple blocks away and have given them a few chances but the coffee always disappoints, it tastes extremely bitter and over priced, Dia del cafe across the street tastes so much better like they put more love into the coffee, plus the baristas are just always so BLAH! read more

My friend and I decided to stop in and grab a cup of coffee! There was a ton of seating and staff were friendly! I tried out their vanilla matcha and all I have to say is WOW! It's perfectly sweet and not too milky. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're in the area! read more

Good ambiance, decent coffee, soothing decor. But wont replace the twigs bakery earlier.

Gorgeous space, yummy drinks, super friendly staff, 10/10 recommend if you're looking for a coffee spot in north park. read more

My partner knows I love coffee shops and brought me here for the first time today! So I'll start off with the interior, which is very pretty and welcoming; it's a bright space with plenty of places to sit and it doesn't feel too crowded. I ordered a cranberry matcha latte and the matcha was great, but the cranberry matcha combo was not cohesive. Unfortunately, the service was not great and it's also why I won't be coming back here. When I went to pick up my order at the counter after they called my name, I was a bit confused because they had put two of the same drink on my drink ticket with my name. When one of the baristas came by and asked if something was wrong, I said that I had only ordered one matcha cran rather than two. She responded by snapping at me "that's not for you" and I replied by saying "yeah well I don't like me either but that is my name and my drink order." The gentleman who took my order earlier clarified that one of the drinks was in fact mine and to leave the other, that it was probably for someone else, which is fine. I just wanted clarification that there wasn't a mistake. I came into this cafe pretty happy with my partner and after that interaction I didn't even want to sit in the cafe anymore so we just left. Like I paid for an over priced matcha and tipped cash on top of it - I should've snatched my tip back for how rude and embarrassed the barista made me feel; she didn't even try to apologized. I've worked as a barista before and I still work in the service industry in a different capacity working with clients and I would never speak to them or anyone in that matter. Absolutely wild. I'd also like to add that for a space that looks so welcoming - the vibe of the staff is as though it's an inconvenience that you're even there. You want good service & coffee? Go to mnemonic. read more

Marta - This was a seasonal cranberry Matcha that was made with a homemade compote, and it was delicious! - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

All the hip people in one place. Beautifully designed space with ample natural lightning. Kind workers, good music, spacious room, lots of seating, and my personal favorite: 2 clean restrooms!(most cafes only have 1 and its dirty). hand soap was extra nice. I loved the interior design. Will definitely be coming back for an early study sesh, as they close early at 3PM. :-) read more

Came in their second day! LOVED the atmosphere! Came in to study for a bit. So open and sunny! Service was amazing! Talked with the owner she was soo sweet :) The matcha was maybe like a 4/5? I think the matcha they use has more umami/vegetal notes which I can appreciate but don't personally prefer. Decent ratio though! read more

Bright, airy, inviting. Coffee is pretty much on par with other places, I particularly loved that the mocha wasn't too sweet. Must give them a huge shout out for that raspberry orange muffin! I even asked who did their pastries. Answer, made in house. Worth the trip just to try it!! Missing one star because I'm a snob. I prefer my latte in a ceramic cup. Paper only here. read more

This coffee shop is definitely my new favorite spot! The interior is beautiful, you can tell they've put so much thought into every detail. The drinks are amazing (highly recommend the Mexican mocha latte!), the staff is super friendly, and everything is baked in-house. The pastries are incredible, my favorite is the ham and cheese croissant with a pickled olive and jalapeño twist. I'll definitely be coming back to try more! read more

This shop has really good pastries especially the cinnamon rolls but literally every single time I've gone, the customer service has put me off so much. I don't want to feel like I am bothering someone just by ordering and asking questions about their unlabeled pastries. Idk I've given them a few tries but I'm not sure I'll be going back. There's a lot of really great coffee shops in the area with really friendly workers I could go to instead. read more

The freshly baked bread is the best I've ever had! My favorite is the dark chocolate concha. All coffee (even drip) is outstanding. Matcha is good too. Service and ambiance are tops! Must try this place! read more

Great ambiance and atmosphere. Matchas are great and the pastries were delicious! The staff was very kind and helpful.

This is probably hands down my favorite coffee shop in North Park/University Heights at the moment. The coffee, pastries and service is all top tier. The energy and ambiance of the cafe is so pleasant and I just find myself coming back every other day. I'm not much of a matcha person but the seasonal passion fruit matcha that they have now is incredible. Also for some reason their ham and cheese croissant is just out of this world. read more

Really cute and delicious coffee spot! I'll definitely be back for the coffee and the pastries looked amazing so I'll be getting one of those too! Had a nice conversation with the friendly barista, Kylie, who was warm and welcoming. Overall, awesome spot and I will be back! read more

Marta is a beautiful coffee shop with a bright ambiance. Located conventiently on Adams...we love going to Marta! The service is amazing. The employees have been very hospitable and warm every time we've gone in. I get either an iced americano or a flat white and add the Mexican chocolate syrup...y'all...this syrup is incredible. It is rich but not too sweet. They told us that they make all the syrups in house too! I have also gotten the pecan scone, as well as the jalapeño cheddar scone and both were amazing. Soft and flavorful. We love Marta!! read more

I went to Marta for the first time and was incredibly impressed by the friendliness of the staff and overall aesthetic. I had a delicious ham and cheese croissant, and a mocha. The staff even offered to sweeten it for me in case it didn't meet my standards. It's really hard to find a unique coffee shop that is a good space for studying, but I was able to get my work done in a pretty quiet and calm environment. Highly recommend going to Marta - whether its for a coffee date or a study session. read more

The pastries are all house made I hear! This place is so delicious and the coffee is so smooth. I love the interior, so chic and is totally my vibe. All of the staff is very friendly and its women owned! Will be coming back xoxo read more

I love Marta:) The vibes are always great as there are amazing regulars that come in everyday and establish a great community in the store. All of their syrups and pastries are made in house! I am normally gluten free as gluten normally really affects my stomach, but I decided to eat the pastries. They are 100% the best pastries I have had in San Diego. And I did not have any stomach issues because the pasties are so fresh and made with good ingredients. The coffee is great and I am normally very picky:) read more

The food is amazing and the coffee is delicious and STRONG! I just moved closer to this area and I'm so pleased with having Marta right there for my morning treats. Fair prices and very clean, sleek vibe inside too. Also the staff are really sweet and attentive. All around great place to get some pastries and coffee. read more

Was excited to have a coffee shop to replace Twiggs. I've been twice and it's pretty disappointing. There is a lack of seating because the coffee bar is so big. People are working from the tables so there is little turnover. This was the case in both my morning and afternoon visit. There is seating outside but there is no shade, no trash can, and uncomfortable chairs. It was definitely an afterthought. The drinks are small and there is only one size. Pastry was good but not great. One positive was the service was friendly on the second visit. The first was pretty indifferent. Definitely room for improvement! read more

I really wanted to love this café, and I believe it has so much potential! I've visited twice now, and I want to share some feedback that I hope is helpful. First, the space itself is lovely -- clean, simple, and thoughtfully curated. I enjoyed the pastry I tried; it was absolutely delicious. The espresso wasn't quite to my taste preference (the extraction seemed a bit off), but I've experienced both better and worse elsewhere, so it wasn't a deal-breaker. The strawberry matcha, however, surprised me as it leaned strongly vegetal and lacked the sweetness or umami balance I've come to love, which made it less enjoyable for me personally. Where I think there's the biggest opportunity is in the customer service. The owner is warm and welcoming which I really appreciated. However, the two male baristas behind the bar seemed less engaged during both visits. One was constantly preoccupied with his phone and he even sat on the counter near the register for a bit. For a café with such a beautiful environment, a little more attentiveness and energy from the baristas, along with better food safety practices behind the bar-- would make a huge difference! I'm sharing this because I can see how wonderful this café could be. The space and menu already have a lot going for them, and I'm looking forward to seeing it flourish as they work through some of the kinks that tend to arise with any new business. read more

Cute spot, but the customer service fell short for me. Since it was their grand opening, I expected a bit more energy and enthusiasm, but the cashier came across monotone and was not very welcoming. No smiles in sight. By 10:30am most of the pastries were already gone so I didn't try those. The Mexican mocha was decent but I found it a little pricey for the size. read more
