The matcha was delicious with a generous pumpkin spice topping that you could taste in every sip! However, their toast was incredible and would come back just for this! The vegan ricotta was so creamy and the tomatoes were perfectly sweet! Wowww!! Service: The cashier taking my order was so kind and told me about her recommendations and thanks to her, I discovered this incredible toast! Ambiance: This cafe is lively with some tables inside to study/work and a clean bathroom! There is free, strong wifi posted on the side of the glass showcase. Even after the cafe closes, this WIFI is reliable if you sit outside and work! Lastly, liked that they were open till 6 PM which felt like generous hours to study/work! Please come here for a wonderful catch up with a friend or to study/work! Please try their incredible drinks and food! Really hope they open a Compa Coffee Roasters in OC as well!

The line was pretty long, and the wait for our food was even longer, so definitely be prepared to wait if you're coming during a busy time.

Not the best I've ever had but definitely solid. It was smooth, well-balanced, and had just the right amount of milk and maple syrup. The shop itself is very lively, especially for 11:00am on Tuesday. Lots of patrons, friends chatting, people working remotely, etc. Layout and aesthetic are simple but effective. It feels open and airy. Staff are very nice and upbeat. Overall, a nice spot for a pick-me-up or to chill.

We had breakfast at a different place that morning and instantly regretted not getting food here. They have pastries, empanadas and their seasonal pumpkin bagel that's shaped like a pumpkin. Super cute. We'll have to get it next time. We were told, by a customer who ordered it, that the filling was a flavored butter, not cream cheese. Saw a fruit parfait there as well and it looked legit. We can't wait to come back and try other drinks and their food options. Street parking in front. There's a constant line but it moves quick so the flow of people coming in and out is pretty quick. Cute decor inside and plenty of tables for people who like to set up camp.

You can even choose to have glitter added to your drink, which added such a fun and festive touch. The mini pumpkin is the perfect size to enjoy the latte. The service was great! Everyone was friendly and helpful with our questions. We ordered the Pumpkin Bagel with cream cheese to split along with a cute pumpkin cake pop. Everything tasted fresh and was packed with the amazing, rich flavor of pumpkin spice. If you love pumpkin season and all things fall, this is the perfect spot to go! Just make sure to get there early to enjoy these delicious lattes before they sell out for the day!

I still remember going to their first store in Little Italy and fell in love. You can't go wrong with anything on their menu. I usually get my coffees black, but this place makes mean iced Mexican Mocha Latte. Full of coffee flavor and has a slight spicy kick, which I love. It's perfect! Staff at all their locations are fantastic and their coffees are consistent at every shop. If you haven't tried their coffee yet, stop by! You won't regret it!

While waiting in my car to pick up my order, morning sickness struck and in that process I peed myself in shorts that would very much give away that I did so. Mortified, I had to call and ask them to bring me my order. The gentleman was so beyond kind and even offered me water or sprite to help calm my stomach. The food has always been amazing and their staff is truly showing up.

Hiya my fellow, Yelpers!…read more It's been quite a while since my last review--I was injured and spent some time in recovery, but I'm back and so excited to share my local finds with you again. Recently, I dropped by Kettle on Grand in downtown Escondido. When I walked in, it felt wonderfully peaceful and quiet for a coffee shop, making it a super relaxing, family-friendly spot to settle in and enjoy a bite. My Order: Horchata Latte: Delicious! Usually when I order these at other spots, they tend to oversweeten the drink, but Kettle on Grand hit the perfect balance. Margherita Panini (without tomatoes): Served hot, tasted incredibly fresh, and had a fantastic, satisfying crisp. Side Salad (no feta): Don't let the photos fool you--the bowl was surprisingly generous and packed with fresh greens. The only minor tweak for my personal preference would be a few extra nuts for crunch, but it was delicious nonetheless. Tips: Self-Serve Water Station: They have a convenient self-serve water setup, which is always a huge plus when visiting with kids or settling in for a while. Free Wi-Fi & Great Service: The server behind the counter was warm, attentive, and completely on point. Plus, the free Wi-Fi makes it a cozy spot to catch up on work or browse while relaxing.

Wait... How does something so simple be SO GOOD?…read more We came by on a weekend morning after a hike and it wasn't too busy. We had a baby with us and they were very friendly and accommodating - bringing us a high chair and water so we didn't need to get up. They even gave us an extra fruit cup for our baby so she can have her own! The QR code ordering on each table was convinient for those dining in. Within 5 minutes, the entire place was packed with all the tables taken and the line out the door. Wow! I ordered half of "The Works" on sourdough and should have gotten the whole sandwich!!! All the ingredients were super fresh and everything works so well together for the perfect balance in every bite. The tanginess from the bread, savoriness from the bacon, creaminess from the avocado, and all tied together with the egg. I'm sure many have had a breakfast sandwich which these fillings before - it's like what you imagined... but somehow better? My husband got the California Club and loved it too. Super happy with our breakfast and we'll be back next time we're in the area!

The cheese that was grilled into the bread was overpowering all the other flavors. The spam slice was so thin, we could barely taste it. My husband had two bites of his half and couldn't eat anymore. The parfait was good but nothing special. Pretty small but they managed to fit about 6 tables inside. Tables are also available in front as well as in the back. Parking is also available in front and rear. Service was friendly and prompt. Price is a bit steep for what you get. One sandwich and one parfait was around $35. Not sure if I would return.

For the price they charge, it's absolutely not worth it. The texture, the flavor, everything about it feels cheap and artificial. Honestly, you're better off making avocado toast at home.
