They have a small menu, but that's why everything they roast is so damn good! They NEVER miss. Best decaf vanilla latte I've ever had. They're pretty quick too, but not sure if it's because every time I go there's barely anyone there. It's a small shop with a few tables, but seems like a good spot to study or catch up with a loved one.

First of all, I want to say this has been one of my favorite coffee spots in san diego for years…read more The campfire mocha is amazing and worth every penny. Ive brought friends here in the past and have always gotten positive feedback afterwards. Recently though, it feels like it's lost a little of its charm. The menu needs updating because with all the crossed out items on the board, it looks a little low end and like they're out of things. But they also always seem to be out of multiple items when I come these days. There's no food options any more most of the time, but the display cases remain. And seating... it feels like they got rid of 1-2 tables and the tables that were outside. There never seems to be enough seating so it's both cramped while also empty looking now. They have these side benches to sit on, but no one ever uses them because they're not super comfortable or good to chat with anyone with. Also, the bathroom. It's usually open, but twice now Ive been in there where there's zero toilet paper or the paper towel dispenser is out, but someone has just put a roll on top to tear at your own will. I loved this place so I hate saying more negative than good. The drinks remain amazing, but for a spot that is so popular, it's losing some of its own charm.

Both coffees were really good, which is the main point of coming to a coffee shop. Really smooth espresso, no burnt flavor, and good body + profile. The staff are really nice, despite the place sometimes getting super busy and hectic. There's always a bright, inviting vibe and atmosphere in the store. Tons of people use this place for remote work, too, so the Wi-Fi is probably pretty good. They also have a large food menu.

I really like their lattes (vanilla or honey cinnamon), and their drip coffee has a great flavor. They have a great selection of breakfast items to choose from (we like the 9-5 and croissants), and everything is reasonably priced. The staff is friendly, and they're quick to bring out your order. The line here is always long, so I highly recommend using their mobile order system.

I pulled up to the drive through kiosk. I waited for someone to answer, still waiting.i finally started to pull up thinking the drive through wasn't open. As soon as I left, I could see the lady behind me pull up , I could here someone say can I take your order. So I pulled up again. Now there's a line. I finally get up to pick up my coffee. The girl hands me the first one,I grab it and it spills all over my hand. The lid wasn't on correct. Good thing the coffee was barely warm or it would have burned my hand. She hands me the second one. Same thing happens,lid not on tight. It spills in my truck. I looked and asked her for some napkins. She hands me some. No apologies or explanation. She just walked away.

Awww what happened?…read more I don't think I've ever had a bad boba drink here...until today. Sad face. Our drinks were watered down significantly...you could even tell just by how they looked that they would not taste good. So I ended up just buying some oatmilk and trying to fix both of our drinks. My go-to is typically blueberry matcha, but they were out today. Not sure what happened but hopefully this experience was just a one off. We were even going to go to Ding Tea down the road but this was closer to where we had lunch. Note: their drinks are normally very good here. Today, not so much. We drank about 1/4 of ours and tossed it in the trash. It just wasn't good at all...not creamy and just plain watery like skim milk used even though we asked for oatmilk. The gal helping was a tad grumpy so we killed her with kindness and she was nicer after. I do miss the gangsta rap music that used to blare through their speakers but alas, there was none. 3 stars.

My friend and I stopped by here on New year's to try their bread. It has honestly been a while…read moresince I have tried Starbread Bakery so I forgot what exactly was the kind of bread they sold. We got a five piece of the seniorita bread and it was hot and fresh! It's slightly buttery, but also has a sweet honey flavor. The seniorita bread reminds me of Filipino pan de sal. It is like none other, and I think that they are best eaten right away. I do want to come back to try their ube pandesal rolls. The service here was friendly, and there is plenty of parking in the lot. If you are in Poway, I recommend checking this spot out.

I go out of my way to visit this place knowing that their sister store is much closer to home. It is shocking that it's almost 2026, but I'm glad the prices for their coffee are still reasonable. They are so consistent that even the food is still remarkably bland. That's my personal opinion and I guess you can always add to taste from the packets offered at the self-serve corner. I am thankful that food is served on a real plate, metal cutlery is available and coffee poured in a ceramic mug. No strong opinions on service other than pick it up at the counter. I just wish point-of-sale devices that prompt for tips before service would go away. Do you what you feel is right.
