The only reason I didn't give 5 starts is because from the moment we were handed our drinks, all the way up until finishing it at home, the cups they came in leaked pretty bad. I even took the cap off to clean it so it wouldn't drip & it would just leak again anyway. I would return but I really hope they invest in better quality cups - their pricing is pretty average these days, but for paying $16+ for 2 smaller sized coffee, I'd expect a better cup.

The cafe itself is really cute and i'm a big fan.

Unfortunately, this cafe dropped the ball both in barista customer service and response from…read moremanagement. Basically what had happened was i waited over 10 min for simple chai and inquired with barista about status update. We agreed to have it remade and she had told me next time "there's no need to be rude" despite never insulting, shouting, or making a scene. Wrote to management about this odd experience and I recieved a response from owner. He has said he will talk to staff and "apologies on that" but honestly it seemed half-hearted and not sincere at all. No attempts to try and make it right or acts of good faith which i would think is standard procedure for cases like this. Fortunately, there is a plethora of cafes in San Diego to try so I will keep discovering new ones until I find my favorite.

They have great customer service and their coffees are the perfect sweet but not too sweet 10/10.read more

If you're looking for amazing coffee, delicious pastries, and a place that stays consistently great, Cafeina Café is the spot. 10/10!

The baristas were very friendly with helping me choose my drink and made sure my first experience was the best it could have been. I tried both the banana matcha and hot chocolate marshmallow drink.

Definitely worth a try if you are nearby.

They have regular coffee and then seasonal lattes. I got the seasonal lemon lychee latte which was delicious, not too sweet ! As for the food, they have different toasts and then a few sandwiches. I got the tuna and it was delicious, just the right amount of lemon and the bread was crispy. My friend got the whipped PB which was really fun! Overall a great place to sit outside and enjoy a coffee and snack :)

this review is for primas' pastries!…read more raspberry corn mille feuille - the jam rly amplified the raspberry flavor while the fresh berries had the perfect amt of juicy tartness to balance out the sweetness. the pastry was so flaky & crisp without being too buttery. (my only quibble was that i didn't taste much corn flavor from the corn cream, but it was still good.) so nice we got it twice! banana miso babka - exactly what you want from a babka - pull-apart soft, fluffy & buttery. i loved the caramelized bananas throughout. i was hesitant abt the caramel glaze, which can often be too sweet, but the miso lent an umami complexity that balanced the sweetness. one bun was big enough to share black sesame yuzu puff pastry - again the pastry was perfectly flaky, & the tartness of the citrus was a good balance to the nuttiness of the sesame. we just would've loved more yuzu curd strawberry milk bread - idk if this was supposed to have strawberry jam in it, ours just had cream cheese? tbh the glaze was a bit too sweet for me, but i rly liked the sprinkling of pink peppercorn on top, which added an interesting contrast overall just a rly lovely variety, well-made & w such creative & thoughtful flavor combinations. can't wait to see what they come up w every month!

We stopped by at around 8:20am today and there were only a few people in line. Service was welcoming and kind! They had an assortment of baked goods + empanadas as well as a great matcha/coffee menu. There's lots of seating for anyone who wants to hangout with friends or study. So awesome to see that they serve Nami (aashleyk's matcha brand). I ordered a chicken empanada, pan de elote, & an iced matcha cloud (less sweet & oat milk). Everything was absolutely DELISH. I'm pretty picky about my matcha, especially when it's in an Einspanner form. I loved the contrast between the sweet/salty cloud and the matcha itself! This place has their ratios down perfectly. Can't wait to come back (probably tomorrow)! 11/10.

The staff were awesome and super friendly. I got the Mia-mor Latte and a plain bagel with cream cheese, and both hit the spot. One major bonus: they only charge $0.50 extra for oat milk! Most other coffee shops charge $1.00 or more now, so that was a really nice surprise. They also gave me a stamp card for future visits, which I'll definitely be using. Will absolutely be back!

I was surprised by how busy it gets even on a weekday morning, but arriving early helped me snag a cozy spot inside. There are only about 4-5 indoor tables, but plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the beautiful San Diego weather. The staff was friendly and welcoming, even while managing the rush. The hardest part about this place is deciding what to order, everything looks so good. I don't remember what I got on my first visit, but this time I went with a Nutella-stuffed croissant, and it was absolutely delicious. I also ordered a latte, which was solid. I can't really speak to how "authentic" it is, but I can say it's definitely worth visiting at least once, especially if you're a local.
