I knew I had found a good place when I couldn't even find parking in the parking lot on a Saturday morning. There was a line out of the door and most tables outside were occupied. I certainly did not mind waiting one bit when it's good! The variety is big, everything looks so good you want one of everything. From pastries to sandwiches, bread and salads even dressings and also merch! What a hidden gem! Staff is super friendly and very informative. The sweet girl helping me was so nice and was able to answer all of my questions and her suggestions were great. I will be coming back again and again for sure!

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.

Had brunch here yesterday on a Wednesday. Literally, middle of the week, and it was packed! Line…read moreout the door, but inside, it was surprisingly spacious...and LOUD. You order and pay up at the counter, they hand you a number stand, then hunt for a place to sit. There were groups of people hanging out and "brunching", while others were alone working in laptops. Honestly, I wouldn't be able to concentrate in there with all the noise. Anyhoo, I ordered the benedict, which came with a side of potatoes. Looked very appetizing! Unfortunately, I found everything to be on the salty side, especially the potatoes. My friend ordered their breakfast "burrito" filled with veggies and a protein of sorts (please look up the menu to find out what is inside). The burrito was more like a wrap, so not your typical burrito, but it was tasty! It came with a spicy sauce on the side and fruit. It didn't really need the sauce because the burrito was pretty flavorful; but if you wanted a extremely slight kick, add the sauce. I also took home a rolled Nutella pastry. It was very rich, flaky, and drizzling with Nutella. I ate it (only half) when I got home and I remembered the guy asking if I wanted it warmed up. I should have done that. Overall, it is a great place to meet up with friends and chat up a storm. Trust me, no one will hear your conversations. Would I come back? Sure. Although it is pretty far, I would probably try one of their drinks and something else on the menu, and maybe ask for no salt on the potatoes.

The Biscoff matcha and regular matcha are both delicious too. The service is always incredible as well! Everyone is super friendly, and the drinks come out FAST. I also can't forget to mention their beautiful interior. The seats are almost always filled with people studying or friends chatting. One of my favorite spots to hang out, I envy the people who live nearby and can grab this whenever they please.

Hinar has been on my list for awhile, and I'm glad I got to finally check them out. Upon arrival, I…read moresaw that the spot is super cute, and it was very busy even though I was there on a Thursday afternoon. All the seating was taken. What I got: - Brown Sugar Latte with Biscoff Foam: this was good, although it was a lot of sweets, it was still balanced with the coffee flavor. I believe the biscoff foam is seasonal. - White Chocolate Raspberry Cake: the cake was fluffy and moist while the raspberries added the perfect tartness to the cake. I will say, the cake isn't overly sweet, which is good, but I do wish there was just a little more cake than the pink cream. This spot is on the pricier side because both items did cost me $18.75 total. Which to me is a little steep.

The texture of the danish was good, nicely moist. The rhubarb compote was yummy! But the matcha creme was weird. I like matcha in a drink, but I don't think it belongs on a pastry. It was odd. Pretty standard prices and service. Interior is very pretty...deep green walls, plants, and a mural. Bustling environment. Overall, a pretty good place.

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.

You can really tell they take pride in what they do, especially since all their breads and pastries are made in-house.

The Reuben was also delicious (8/10), with fresh, crispy bread that really brought everything together. Of course, we couldn't leave without grabbing a few pastries to go, and they did not disappoint!

I hope management addresses both the quality control and staffing concerns, as this bakery has potential but needs more consistency.
