Servers are nice and helpful. This location is especially beautiful--clean, well-kept, and thoughtfully designed. The patio is a great bonus, with a cozy vibe that makes it perfect for relaxing and enjoying your drink. Definitely a must-visit spot in San Diego!

The banana adds a smooth, natural sweetness without being overpowering, while the honey and vanilla round it out with a soft, comforting finish. What really makes it stand out is that the dark coffee flavor still comes through. It's not masked by the sweetness, which keeps the drink balanced and refreshing rather than heavy. Super satisfying as an afternoon pick-me-up.

The patio is surrounded by tropical plants and there is plenty of shade. My husband had the French toast, which he said was pretty good. I had the Benedict and enjoyed it. The potatoes have rosemary and thyme on them and they were cooked well. I will definitely be back! Especially on a Sunday because they are right next to the farmers market. Note: The place can be a little tricky to find because it is in the back of a multi use retail space. Walking directions were trying to direct us towards the ally, but you enter from the university side and heads towards the back.

Thanks to Yelp, we found a literal hidden cafe that we otherwise would have never found. The outdoor patio is so homey with a ton of foliage and a fountain to create such a calming vibe. We ordered the chilaquiles and the eggs Benedict. Both were delicious - each came with potatoes as a side, so it's definitely a large portion that could possibly be shared if you're not too hungry. The service was quick and friendly too. We'll definitely be back!

My first visit was the double pandan latte and the chance's Vietnamese, I thought the chance's vietnamese was super good and the cold foam hit the spot. My next visit was the Pho' Cold Brew, I would have to say that this is up there as my top 5 places for cold brews. If you want to try something different, I suggest this one for sure. Plenty of seating indoor/outdoors, photo booth for photos (small fee), and pet friendly to the max. Service was quick and easy, super friendly and will make you want to return. This has to be my go to spot as of lately. Sincerely Robonomnomreviews

The Pho Cold Brew, on the other hand, was a bit of a miss for me. It was definitely interesting and I could taste the coffee, but I can't say I loved it. It also didn't really hit on the caffeine side, though that might just be me building up a higher tolerance lately. What stood out more than the drinks was the vibe. They had a DJ playing music, which made it feel more like a hangout spot than just a coffee run. Another plus: very dog-friendly and clearly a pro-dog coffee shop. Overall, a decent place to chill and try some creative menu items. I've had stronger coffee elsewhere, but this place might be worth checking out if one's never been.

My only beef is the small size, as it's really hard not to down the drink in the span of five minutes or less. They also have some really cool assorted pastries if you get there in time. High quality and unique options with fun flavors. The shop is relatively small with seating in and outside. There are also records for sale and they have a really cool curated selection. The staff is also really cool, sweet and quick to make drinks.

Fuzz Coffee is a combination coffee shop and vinyl record store in the middle of a block of 30th St…read morein North Park. This neighborhood is filled with all kind of coffee/tea places, however Fuzz Coffee was a bit difficult to find as they didn't have much signage indicating their presence. A small sidewalk sign that said 'Coffee & Records' along with a label on the front window was the extent of the identification. Parking was either curbside, or you could pay for a space in a lot just a bit up the street which was what I did. The inside had limited seating consisting of a countertop along the front window and a bench with some stools that surrounded very small round tables. A merchandise rack was on the right wall when you walked in. A collection of vinyl records was in the back left corner. The menu board was posted on the wall to the right of the service counter. The choice of beverages was around a dozen, but a seasonal menu added a few more items. I ordered an Iced Latte with whole milk. The addition of Honey Cinnamon incurred a one dollar surcharge. The barista quickly prepared my drink as I was nearly the last customer for the day. I didn't taste much honey cinnamon flavor so that topping wasn't really worth it. The small tables were a bit awkward as they were elevated quite a bit higher than the stool/bench. The surface area could not have been larger than a vinyl record for comparison (see my photo). I gave a three star rating for my visit to Fuzz Coffee.

Parking may be tough so expect a walk unless you're lucky! We went late in the day and most of the popular desserts were gone, so we tried the Lotus (Biscoff) cheesecake. We also got a regular latte on the side, which was a great idea to pair with the sweet cheesecake. The cheesecake filling was more like a cream & fluff rather than your typical thick texture cheesecake. It kinda threw me off but it was different so I didn't mind. The cookie butter layer was thick and hard to work with. It is a small portion but split between 2 people is just right, as the sweetness can be too much after awhile. I would definitely come back to try their other cheesecakes!
