The employees were all so sweet too! We ordered the iced classic matcha latte and the salted maple latte. I like to order a classic matcha to get a taste for it, and their matcha was great quality. I'd absolutely come back to try their banana matcha! The salted maple latte was also delish - I would get it half sweet next time for my preference. Can't wait to take a friend here!

I got the tiramisu latte, which is recommended by my friends and it did not disappoint. It was really really good! I also got some bacon and egg bites that were good. My latte with oat milk and the egg bites came out to $14 which isn't too bad. Cute place overall to hang out and grab a cup of coffee.

The matcha is good and has a nice taste but it is a tad on the weak/milky side. That doesn't usually stop me from getting it though. The pastries are nice and my kids like the smoothies.

I will, however, have to say that it is on the price side, but I would rather spend my money here on a cup of coffee than at Starbucks.

I've even gotten to try a sample of a drink before buying it. They're always kind and quick to make your drink as well! It's a bit pricey ($7-8 rather than 5-6) but this is pretty common pricing for small boutiquey SD coffee shops. It is a great place to work/hang out, they have great seating and a nice outdoor section. Very comfy/airy. They have fun and unique drinks, I have enjoyed each one I've tried. I recommend the raspberry cappuccino. I prefer their coffee to matcha, but I am pretty picky with matcha. I say try it!

I was in San Marcos for the day and wanted to find a cute local coffee shop -- which was…read moresurprisingly hard -- but I'm glad I found this one. They recently opened this location and also have another spot in Encinitas. We wanted a cappuccino, and even though it wasn't listed on the menu, they were able to make one. They also serve Paru matcha, which I love. The space is big, with plenty of shaded outdoor seating and some indoor seating as well. It's located on the corner under a new luxury apartment complex with the leasing office next door. The whole area seems to be developing quickly, with trendy new spots popping up. The staff was friendly, and I love that they give out dog treats and allow dogs on the outdoor patio. It's a calm, relaxing location -- a great little find in San Marcos.

I personally like Jazzman's Cafe and Bakery much better than the Starbucks on campus. The coffee here is solid and keeps me running on those days you just need motivation and a boost. When it comes to coffee selection, there isn't a whole lot to choose from, and I am sure their menu will expand thru the years, although what they have now is already sufficient. They carry your regular espressos and iced coffees and even blends. Their white mocha and tuxedo iced coffee is what draws me in! If you need a snack or two they also have a small fridge section with naked juice and various snacks. Come thru, grab a cup of coffee and study in the lobby area or have a grand conversation. This spot has definitely won me over for the best coffee on CSUSM campus.
