It was very good and so cute inside. The employees were very nice even though we asked about so many drinks.

I checked this place out with my boyfriend since he got a gift card from a neighbor. It's a cute neighborhood cafe with beautiful desserts. The service was friendly. We ordered the large honeydew with brown sugar boba and this peach dessert to share. The honeydew boba was marked as one of their most popular options, so I was disappointed that the boba was very over cooked and too soft. It was also served with crushed ice, so occasionally I would also get small pieces of ice coming through the straw, which I did not care for. The peach dessert was gorgeous in the case but I think the way it was served in an oversized plastic container that I'm guessing they also use to sandwiches did make the experience feel a little less luxe. I think for $15 it could have been in an appropriately sized container. It was nice tasting, but I'm not sure I would come here again. read more

Skybound Coffee + Dessert Lounge - Desserts Near Me - Vista, California

I stopped by and had a bit of a mixed experience. On the positive side, the space is fantastic, it's inviting with plenty of tables, making it a great spot to sit and relax or get some work done. The service was also good and the staff was friendly throughout my visit. However, rhetorical dood was a bit of a let down. I tried the cinnamon roll, and while the staff was kind enough to heat it up before serving, it was just okay. Some parts were surprisingly hard, which made it less enjoyable than i expected for a dessert lounge. It's a nice place to hang out, but the pastelry quality could definitely be more consistent. read more

Cute little cafe tucked into the corner of a shopping plaza- ample parking, indoor and outdoor seating and free WiFi. Add to that pretty good drip coffee (I didn't try any of the fancier drinks) and delicious baked goods- you have a winner! The staff is very nice, not pushy but happy to answer questions. PS- This place is a must visit if you are in the area and need a coffee break! They have an ice cream/gelato machine but it was broken when we visited. read more

Solid coffee spot. Favorites are Iced Vanilla Latte and Hot LaVa (Lavender Vanilla). Another go-to is the Sea Salt Iced Coffee. I order that when I want my coffee to be more of a sweet treat. Talitha Coffee is their brand of choice. I prefer to order in person instead of mobile. Their platform isn't for me. It feels cumbersome to navigate. At the register, I always make sure to check in to get Cash App stars and have used the 15% off reward (3 Stars) on numerous occasions. Skybound offer desserts too. It's in their name! Instead of ordering one from the restaurant, we'll stop by on the way home. Selection varies but there's always something that satisfies our sweet tooth. Skybound is perfect for a coffee meetup or dessert date. Plenty of parking. There are few outdoor tables if you want the al fresco experience. I've been a patron for over 10 years. They have been the only small business coffee spot in the area. Glad to support and have them in the neighborhood. read more

I really enjoyed this spot The ambaince is nice because it is sort of tucked away in the corner. The matcha iced tea is so delicious, and their terrimesu is delicious. Next time I come back I need to try the cheesecakes because they look so good. I got a bagel with cream cheese and the bagel was too toasted for my liking, and I think I saw a sign they make their own bagels and they were just okay. Also we told the worker we were staying in and they gave us our food in to go containers, idk if that's normal but I wanted to feel relaxed and enjoy to stay but instead I felt a tad pushed out. I do want to go back to try some of the food and other drinks read more

Came in here one day to get some work done and ended up learning so much about the business! Coffee is good and the pastries are either in house made or they get them by other local bakeries which is great! The gal that worked there was super kind and walked me through their vast menu which is overwhelming because they have soooo many great choices! It's a good size cafe tucked in the corner of a shopping center (you can see it from the main road but you have to drive into the center), seating areas is decent but I think they could make better use of this space for the outlets they have especially if people come in to work. Clean, bathrooms are clean too! Can't wait to be back! read more

Always on a hunt for new coffee shops especially around my office. My bf and I came here on lunch and were excited and had high hopes. We both ordered the vanilla latte substituted to oat milk... this is the worst coffee I have ever had and paid way too much for. If I knew what dirt actually tasted like I think I would compare it to this coffee. Definitely not espresso, not sure If it's just extra watered down but what a waste. The service wasn't even that great we sat at a table outside and had to keep popping in to see if our order was ready. We also got a breakfast sandwich. That's is what the 1 star was for read more

I really like this cafe! The coffee and toast were really good. I had the LaVa Latte one day and the Vietnamese coffee the next and both were amazing. I really liked the toast options, I had the Tokyo toast one day and the chimichurri toast the other and both were really good. The workers both days I was there were all really nice, friendly, and helpful. The cafe was also really nice with lots of table space, free WiFi, outlets, and even a printing station. I didn't get a chance to try any of the desserts but they looked really cool! read more

Been here many times and it never disappoints. Their beverages, coffee, teas, gelato & pastries are consistently delicious and on point. We've never been disappointed or left unsatisfied. The service is consistently good, the employees have been friendly and the drinks always come out in a timely manner. Also, great layout as far as seating. There's 4 different areas. Outdoor out in front, inside on couches, in the middle of the place there's tables and finally a high top counter with bar stools facing the outside window. Definitely a place where to can just chill, do school work or work. It's a hidden gem that we love going to. Highly recommend! read more

Skybound Coffee + Dessert Lounge - (L) - (R): Blended Taro milk tea with boba, Iced purple tea - Desserts Near Me - Vista, California

Going to Skybound Coffee instead of the chain coffee shop when I was in the neighborhood was my way to support small business, and I was excited to visit a new coffee shop. In a nutshell: coffee was bitter, weak, and lukewarm at best and not even a full cup, paired with a cold attitude. No hello, thank you for coming, or even a smile. As for the desserts, I saw a few -nothing out of the ordinary items. I saw one other person in the store on a laptop. Not an inviting ambiance. Back to the chain coffee brewer where I can expect consistent, hot coffee. read more

Went in for a Thai tea boba and got distracted with the desserts case. The cashier said they were from a local bakery in San Diego. When asked which one she said she's not allowed to say. The Thai tea with boba was watery and way too sweet. The worst part was that the boba was mushy and way too soft. It practically disintegrated I my mouth! Yuck, one of the worst bobas I have ever drank. read more

Cafe Americano was very good. They have events here, they were having a storytelling performance the day I went, so there was a good vibe. The prices were very high, especially the desserts. They had some interesting cakes, though. I didn't see any pastries. The decor could be better, it was a bit tacky and generic. I didn't like the seating either, because instead of small tables they had one giant communal table. Outside seating is nice, there are a couple of small tables. Customer service was okay, employee seemed new. Wait was a bit long, it seemed like people ordered online because people who got there after me got their drinks first. read more

this place is really nice so is their Customer Service. The woman Maggie who helped me was very kind and patient the desserts look delicious. They are definitely gourmet and more upscale perfect for the dinner party. I was heading to. It was my brother's 50th birthday. He loved everything that I got especially the lemon Tart read more

It is 3 days before Christmas right now and I walk in to a wonderful employee who was kind and attentive! Luiza, I believe, was working around 9:45 AM, alone, when I came in. It was a very busy lobby and she handled it wonderfully considering the workload. I love this place, the people who work here are kind. I do wonder why they will be left alone for very long periods. It seems like a big workload for one person. She handled it great! Happy holidays and thank you, Luiza for always being kind and hardworking! And thank you to the Skybound staff for always providing me coffee and a croissant in the morning :D read more

I've always liked Skybound for its unique atmosphere, convenient location, friendly service, and usually great food and coffee/teas. They have a really big menu to choose from, which is great. But today I got a Vietnamese coffee that was terrible. I bypassed a Vietnamese restaurant I usually get it from that was farther away. The one I got today at Skybound tasted like it was 98% 2% or whole milk with a tiny bit of coffee flavour and maybe a teaspoon of sweetened condensed milk . The server, who was very nice and efficient, told me it's pre-made with "really strong coffee" but I barely felt a buzz from it. I didn't ask for a refund because I didn't want to seem cheap, but I won't be ordering it here again. read more

Very clean and cute coffee shop with pretty much every treat you can think of: boba tea, macarons, cheesecake, freshly-baked muffins, croissants and bagels. There are definitely a lot of things I'd try but in the mornings I don't crave sweets, so I just had a bagel and oat milk latte. Another plus was the groovy music and friendly people. Well definitely be back when we're in San Diego again. Wishing them all the success in the world! read more

Ok this place is cute! Nice to catch up with a friend, bring a date or go alone and work on your lap top. If you go M-F near the afternoon, get ready for a surge of High Schoolers. So if you're looking for a quiet cafe, M-F it's not ideal. Place was clean. The bathrooms could use a freshen up for sure. I'm sure due to the homeless, it's locked so you must ask for one of the 3 kitchen utensils attached to a key to gain entry. Flamango Smoothie was a 10/10! Tart, refreshing and that color! Tried the avocado toast. Bread was delicious. It was missing something. Not sure what but it did its job. All the pastries and gelatos look divine! I look forward to my next return! read more

Skybound is a great coffee shop located in a plaza near Two Brothers from Italy and bb.q Chicken by Melrose on Vista. The place is adorably decorated and you'll find many people here studying or getting some work done. The service is always great, and they offer excellent drip coffee, espresso, and a classic house blend. I also enjoy their freshly baked croissants and sandwich menu. read more

The name says it all: coffee and desserts. They've got a few other things, like avocado toast, but let's go with their strengths. The gelato is very nice. Even better is the affogato which is a scoop of ice cream in a glass of espresso. If you like coffee and ice cream, you need to try this. It's like a delicious coffee milkshake, just not blended. It's a cute little shop in a mini-mall. There's plenty of free parking in the lot. They also have other desserts like tiramisu, cookies, and other baked goods. Everything looked good. Now, go try that excellent affogato. read more

Very good coffee and great service! We did not get a chance to try their desserts, but they looked amazing.

I really wanted to like this place, the space is cute and the staff was friendly. My husband and I stopped here on a morning walk. I was especially excited to try their house-made vanilla syrup and oat milk. Unfortunately, I couldn't taste any of it through how watered down the coffee was, which was disappointing for the price I paid. I ordered a latte and it honestly tasted more like drip coffee than an espresso drink. The flavor was thin, and the milk didn't have any texture or warmth, it just felt flat. I think with stronger espresso shots and more attention to milk prep, the drinks could be a lot better. I really love supporting local coffee shops, so I'm hoping they're able to make some improvements. I'd be open to giving it another try in the future. The desserts looked amazing though so we definitely want to be back to try those. read more

truly the best coffee and chai latte I've had in my life. The coconut milk and chai paste were made from scratch, and it was outstanding.

A nice, relaxing coffee shop with excellent, beautifully made bakery items as well as very tasty gelato. Of course, lots of excellent coffee choices all served up by a pleasant, professional barista. Lots of great seating, background music that allows you to hear your conversation. A plus is they stay open later so you can actually drop in after dinner for desserts & coffee! Come on by! read more

Very cute place! Very impressed with the expansive menu, drinks and food items. I came in right at open and quickly received my bakery item and coffee. However, the bathroom was very disgusting. I was the first customer in the bathroom that day and you could tell it hadn't been cleaned in likely weeks. Really ruined the positive experience. Hopefully the owners see this and step up and do a deep clean, with lots of bleach, and that they restock the supplies (toilet seat covers). Worries me that if the bathroom is that disgusting at open then what else wasn't thoroughly cleaned. Also, only one staff member so I would assume as it gets busier the wait time gets longer. read more

It's more than a coffee shop, it's like a cafe + a little dessert nook. I will say that it's is pretty hidden is the Albertson's shopping center, but once you find it, you'll be happy! They offer some pretty cool desserts, gelato, all sorts of sandwiches, toasts, açaí bowls, and of course, really good coffee drinks. The staff is super friendly and can answer all of your questions. I got the avocado toast and my little one got the açaí bowl. Both were really good! They don't skimp on the avocado and it has lots of flavor with the tomato, cheese, and balsamic. I also order the CA latte (is that what it was called? I can't remember), which is a low cal latte made with their homemade sugar free vanilla syrup. It was also super tasty. There are plenty of tables for a small cafe and a cute little chill area to hang out in. Just a side note: if you're avoiding sugar and carbs, there are no options on the menu, but they are willing to modify things for you. Also, this place is a touch expensive, so I can't make it a daily thing, but it's great for very-so-often. read more

This is my favorite cafe in the North County area. Having tried food, gelato, desserts, tea and coffee, I think I can say I've tried something from every category of food/drink available at Skybound. Their coffee beans and loose leaf teas are high quality and they make their oat milk and all dessert cakes in house. Thank you, Aaron and team for always taking great care of me! read more

I'm a little upset. I was excited about coming in because it looked like a cool new coffee place. I checked out the menu online but I guess it's not up to date. Everything I asked for they were out of. One of my sandwiches I asked for no tomato. They still put tomato on it. I ordered chips, no chips. For a very expensive meal, I'm a little disappointed. Could have potential but need some adjustments read more

Coffee was a bit too sweet but what was most disappointing was paying $18 for a croissant with flavorless eggs and sausage.

We stopped into Skybound while looking for a coffee for a 30 minute drive. The options for coffee were plentiful and had varieties for every taste!

Beautiful pastries and kind baristas. Serve visually stunning pastries as well as delectable cakes alongside great coffee drinks.

Skybound coffee is such an amazing hidden gem in Vista. Staff is super friendly from the moment you walk in, the vibes are quiet and serene during the day. Aaron the manager is always friendly and gives great recommendations on coffee and sandwiches. So much of what they make here is made from scratch including syrups, coffee powder, sandwiches, sauces, spreads, smoothies and more. They source freshly roasted coffee from right here in SD so you know you're getting the best quality. Some of their can't miss items that are game changers: Peanut butter & Nutella cold brew Iced Thai tea Iced Vietnamese coffee Skybound Dark Chocolate mocha (this is a crowd favorite) The breakfast sandwich Turkey pesto Cappuccino They also have high quality French desserts and Macaroons. Cookies, croissants baked fresh daily. This place can't be missed and I will keep going back for some of the best coffee in North country read more
