    Green Machine Smoothie
    Leslie B.

    Who would have known that my go-to coffee shop would be a drive up coffee shop! As there is no seating area, this review is based on the product, service, and value. The Bean Box is close to where I run lots of errands, so it is convenient to stop by after my gym class on weekends. I had been struggling with finding a coffee shop in the area, where I could get my iced coffee the way I like it. I have ordered my iced coffee there now several times. They have nonfat milk, as many places no longer have. They also have Splenda, my preferred sweetener. Finally, they have regular iced coffee, not simply cold brew. Last time I went, I also bought a green machine smoothie.... a healthy green smoothie that isn't too sweet, but is also not bitter. The menu has various coffee drinks, a few smoothies, açaí bowls, and several pastries. Service is friendly and fast. Prices are reasonable as compared to coffee shops in the area.

    One of the best coffee stands in San Diego. I come from Washington where the coffee options are elite and this coffee stand is probably one of the only ones that is even comparable to ones in Washington. They also give dog treats haha

    Small iced matcha with oat milk & Small iced chai with an extra shot. Our total was $11

    Wanted to stop by since it looked like a cute and quick, tiny spot in the Baron's Market parking lot. *Beware they do not have the prices up on their menus. The matcha latte was okay, definitely was a latte mix so it was very sweet with a vanilla flavor, and not the ceremonial kind the matcha girlies are looking for. We also got the iced chai with an extra shot and it was so rich and dark! Service was great, two very nice ladies. Overall it was just a quick stop.

    Great small coffee spot. Straight to the point and fantastic service. Just pull up and order.

    Very cute drive up coffee shop. Husband and I went around 11 am. I got the Mexican mocha , so yummy, reminds me of abuelitas hot chocolate. Husband got an ice coffee. Only one person working the stand so very personable and intimate. Will definitely come again!

    Lavender White Mocha

    Went here for the first time today and can't wait to go back! I got the lavender white mocha and it was a 10/10. Helena was very sweet and told me about their punch card program

    Got a large cappuccino and tasted like milk that's it. I was very disappointed but I really needed a cup of coffee at 8 am.

    Apparently, an oat milk cappuccino.

    EDIT: Thanks for the acknowledgment and response, Katryne! I appreciate and do not take for granted when a business listens to its customers and is committed to providing the best experience possible. ---- I paid $5 for a medium oat milk cappuccino that was thoroughly disappointing. On the first sip, I knew it was more latte than cappuccino: the amount of foam was wrong. Worse, after I continued drinking, I noticed that the drink left a chalky aftertaste. I opened the lid and lo and behold, there are white bits floating around in the drink. I have no idea what dairy alternative they used but it certainly isn't oat milk.

Parking is tricky here because there's so much happening around the shop. You'll be able to find some parking along the big ring that runs around Liberty Station or in the nearby parking lots, but it may take a few minutes walk to get to the cafe. When you're at Moniker General, it's a bright, artistic, and open-air environment. The double wide doors open up to the street and tall windows let in plenty of natural light. Studying or working here is a dream. You'll find stressed students and corporate slaves alike lounging about. One particularly interesting thing that happens at Moniker is you get a lot of families and groups of people with kids stopping by on their day out at Liberty Station. I come here once or twice a month when I feel bored of the usual cafes and want something more spacious and less packed. But I always, always have one specific disappointment... My only (and big) issue with Moniker is their drinks--the actual coffees and teas they make and sell. Everything tastes rather bland for a drink that you are charged $10 on. As I was sipping my chai latte drink, the second drink I asked them to make after my first order of the Tiramisu Latte was not having a tiramisu vibe at all--I realized I didn't even like their chai! I was too nervous to ask for a second re-make, and I felt defeated. I wish I had gone to Starbucks instead. I have been to a dozen cafes in San Diego and Moniker's chai is special to me for tasting like shitty syrup. If you come here, pick something safe that's hard to screw up. Perhaps a black coffee, tea, or a lemonade. I wouldn't try a latte or crafted drink unless you're really okay with whatever comes out of their gorgeous cafe. ----- 3/5 STARS + Aesthetics + Name brand (people like Moniker as a local hotspot) - Drinks taste bad (in my opinion)
