    This cafe was walking distance to our hotel, WorldMark. It is super cute inside, they have a great menu with a variety of great options for everyone the breakfast sandwiches were delicious! I tried the Loop which was a pesto cream cheese bagel with tomato's I've never had anything like it! The best part was my iced honey lavender latte. It was soooooo good!!! Most lavender flavors are a little overpowering but this one is so smooth and subtle. Even my husband really liked it and he HATES lavender lol. It almost tastes like a cereal milk latte. We wish we had a Mio + Tuo back at home in LA.

    Cute spot! Always want to support woman owned, small local spot. The best breakfast croissant sandwiches! coffee and boba hit the spot! Friendly service! Perfect way to start the day!

    Paradise bar, breakfast bagel, and the dirty chai protein shake
    Ashleyann B.

    Nice spot here in the Cortez Hill area for neighbors in the area, passerby, and visitors from anywhere. Staff recognize me and my partner and always make us feel welcome. I usually have a baked good--their paradise bar is my fav, but the honey bran muffin and vegan zucchini bread are also my go-tos--with one of their Signature decaf espresso drinks. I get a new drink nearly every time but find myself going for their honey lavender latte, cafe con miel, or whatever their seasonal special is. Personally haven't tried their boba drinks, but that's an option here for those who want it. My partner usually orders their breakfast bagels or sandwiches and / or protein smoothie and I've always heard praise from him regarding those. I've done remote work from here many times. Might not be best if you have a meeting planned in the workday, but if no talking is required then you'll be in a good spot. Plenty of seating available, nice lighting because of the large windows, and the plants inside are a very nice touch. There are outlets here, but they're not in all areas of the interior. There are two that I can think of to the right of the Ninth Avenue entrance.

    Cafe white mocha
    Lilian N.

    This place is cute and cozy. I went there in the morning around 8:30am and not many people there. I ordered white mocha and the service was a little bit slow. The white mocha was okay, didn't offer any sweetness option, it was a little bit sweet for me.

    matcha latte
    Raina A.

    A bit underwhelming. I expected a bit more after reading the reviews online. I got a matcha latte and a plain bagel toasted with cream cheese. The matcha latte lacked depth and was bland. The bagel was a very ordinary bagel, nothing to write home about. Prices are comparable to other cafes in the area. The service was friendly but overall it's skippable for me.

    Solid lunch spot in downtown san diego. Chicken panini is ok. Could have more chicken. Taro milk tea is good. Jasmine milk tea is also good. Can't go wrong with either of these. They have tables inside & wifi. Close too early though, 2pm.

    This place I've lived above for a couples months now my first time trying I can say it was pretty good, service was fast and drinks came out even faster . The vibe of the coffee shop was cute too wasn't too busy was very clean and the fresh aroma of coffee!

    Great to find a place that sells bagel sandwiches, nice and toasty and very affordable! It's almost like a hidden gem. I tried other local popular bagel places and they are always sold out before its' even 11AM. This place has sandwiches in croissant or bagels and they were not sold out before 11AM. However, that doesn't mean it's a bad thing! I ordered an everything bagel with two eggs, pork patty and cheddar cheese and it came out piping hot with my cheese melted just the way I like it. More importantly it was under $9 including tips! I've had similar sandwiches at Spill the Beans and it was easily over $15! It was clean and spacious inside, with a variety of seatings. I also appreciate the different plants throughout the shop.

    Pistachio Latte

    The pistachio latte was phenomenal! I'm dreaming about it and it was yesterday when I had it! Such a great vibe with the plants and sofas!!

    Iced Matcha Latte (With Mango Popping Boba)
    Gabe C.

    Waited a few minutes but the drink was so amazing, the sweetness blends well with the matcha (out of boba so had to get mango popping boba (extra 1.50 but i dont mind) The place was nice and cozy and definitely felt warm nice ambiance

    Got the strawberry matcha latte with boba. I would give it a 7/10. The matcha flavor itself was nice and strong which I always have an issue at other places where you can only taste the milk, however, I was a little disappointed to find the strawberry layer was only made of syrup and not of real strawberries so it made it super sweet even after stirring. The boba was not bad, chewy, but a little over cooked. Update: tried a dirty Thaiger latte and was disappointed cause yet again found that it was made from syrup that was not stirred at the bottom of the drink.

    Do they offer heavy cream and sugar free syrups for their beverages? (Keeping it KETO)☮️😷

    They have almond milk so you can get that to keep things pretty keto. Like a plain latte... I didn't notice if they had sugar free anything... The trade off for a few extra net carbs is less calories from the heavy cream...

I don't know if it's due to being there an hour before closing and maybe the girl just wanted to clean up and go home which I get it was late but the drinks where just not worth it especially for it being a "boba shop"

    AVOID!! I love…read moresupporting small businesses and really wanted to like this place so I can return and send others, BUT too many issues... 1) Employees aren't familiar nor clear with ingredients, which is problematic for a diabetic 2) Basic jasmine milk tea was just shy of $10 for a large, marketed as 32oz but was quite a bit short. See pic of my 32oz Hydro Flask (she did top it off after explaining that she knew the cups weren't a full 32 ounces -of course I had to question the size first). When I asked about it, the owner seemed to know that their cups are smaller than the advertised amount but because, according to her, that's how it was marketed to them by the supplier, they didn't change it. Again, this is problematic to me. If you know the supplier is short changing you, and my guess is because you went with the cheapest cup (which may also mean inferior plastic for unwitting consumers), why in the world wouldn't you remeasure and advertise it correctly??!!! You've lost my trust in exchange for a quick buck. I'd prefer honesty. 3) Worst offense... within 30 minutes of drinking, I started feeling unwell and getting bloated. Clearly indicates to me that they either didn't disclose some mysterious ingredient or there was a problem with their sanitation somewhere -unfortunately I didn't watch her make it. Prior to this happening and me now stuck on the couch in pain, I was going to give them an extra star for quick service. It's a little shop in a small strip mall, clean enough in the table areas but unsure about the back. I didn't check reviews before walking in because somebody nearby had recommended it to me -a stranger, and I figured how bad can a boba shop be, obviously MY mistake. Gotta check YELP before I go anywhere. Had I read previous reviews, especially the one star recently about using chemicals in the same sink they make drinks from with TAP water, I would have never entered. On top of this, the taste was one of the worst milk teas I've ever had. Tasted like milk powder than real milk. AVOID!!

    I've visited Gelabong a few times and noticed some concerning hygiene and sanitation issues as a…read morecustomer. Drinks are often made using water directly from a sink that is also used for cleaning. Gloves are rarely worn, and no hairnets are used. Ingredient containers sometimes appear unwashed before refilling, and I observed cups being rinsed and reused after a customer returned a drink. Some tools and containers had visible residue or buildup, and personal items like shoes or bags were stored near food prep areas. While the drinks may look unique or fun, the overall cleanliness of the prep area didn't seem well maintained. I have reported these concerns to the appropriate health authorities so that they can review the safety of the establishment. I'm sharing this experience to help others make informed decisions while the matter is being looked into. I would also highly encourage anyone visiting, especially families with children, to carefully consider the hygiene and sanitation issues I observed. The conditions I saw raise concerns about cleanliness and food safety, and it may not be immediately obvious how food and drinks are being prepared.
