This place is super cute, the staff is friendly, and the drinks are delicious! My favorites are the mazapán latte & the horchata latte. Check this place out!
Cute dainty coffee shop with friendly staff! :) Ive been here a couple of times now and they get your delicious drinks out quickly!
The drinks here were fantastic! The coffee strength was perfect and the flavors were amazing but not overwhelming. You can adjust sweetness levels and combine flavors. Even after my ice melted, my drink was still holding up strong and flavorful. The baristas were great to talk to and very quick with getting the drinks out. We were in and out in under 10 minutes. The shop itself is cute, no bathrooms but there some benches to sit while you wait. Definitely not a study spot, but a great grab and go coffee place. Parking was easy although be wary of certain spots being reserved for different businesses. The drinks were affordable and it's great to have another cute coffee shop in the south Chula Vista area.
I would consider this location is more of a grab and go there isn't really a lot of space inside. It is also next to the trolley and buses stop. Also be aware that the parking is limited and you might have to wait a bit. Came here a few times and ordered a few different drinks which all turned out to be really good! The coffee flavor really comes through and the drinks aren't too sweet. Would definitely recommend it. If you don't wanna make the drive to this location, I know they opened a second location in Chula Vista.
Hidden in a small complex this place had a good variety in drinks including a rotating flavor for coffee & matcha. The staff were very friendly and helpful in letting me change my matcha order from lavender to cookie butter after I ordered. The drinks were prepared very quickly and the prices were fair for two 20oz drinks. The strawberry horchata latte is very good and sweet and the cookie butter matcha has a very subtle sweetness.
It's a little hole in the wall and if you don't look closely you might miss it. We tried an iced café de olla and a blended white chocolate raspberry coffee. The café de olla was ok, I think drinking it iced definitely brightens up the flavor. My chocolate raspberry drink was just ok. It's definitely a drink that show cases the syrups more than the coffee. The service was good. The price for both drinks was about $14 The overall experience was ok. I think if you're looking for fun drinks rather than a good cup of coffee, then this is a good place. Drinks:*** Service:**** Ambiance:***
Always looking to support small businesses in the South Bay, this one will now be a definite pit stop when we are in the area! We got the pingüino, vanilla late and cafe de olla. They did not disappoint. What's better than a good coffee cup, a nice person taking your order and making you feel like a welcomed customer. Parking is a little tight but worth it. Muchas gracias por nuestro cafésito! Nos vemos pronto!
Delicious coffee and some empanada options. Friendly service. Come prepared to take your selections to go; there is limited space inside.
Pan Dulce, Coffee , Vibes I needed a coffee shop close to my in laws and this is it! Tried the horchata latte hot and strawberry horchata iced. Both soooo good And a cuernito to go. And for my book girlies they have books while you wait!!
Located on San Ysidro off the Palm Ave exit. there's no seating inside or outside and only a very small waiting area for drink pickup. I ordered a large vanilla latte with breve (extra fee) and an iced strawberry matcha latte. The drinks were good, but a little on the pricey side. Parking is definitely a challenge. There's very limited parking and tow-away signs everywhere. The nearby liquor store owner is quick to tow, so be careful where you park.
This place has become my new go to every drink is sooo good obsessed 10/10 Service is great as well highly recommend! :)
The customer service wasn't the best coming in, but they have the best iced mazapan latte I've ever tasted! It's the perfect balance of sweet, nutty, and milky with little mazapan pieces with each sip. Try it out :)
Tried The Coffee Machine and overall it was just okay. I ordered a coconut Irish cream iced latte with oat milk, vanilla cloud foam, and caramel drizzle, flavor-wise, it was really good and hit that sweet, creamy vibe perfectly. The space itself is very minimal with not much going on inside, and it's located right across from the trolley. That said, I wasn't greeted when I walked in, which kind of set the tone. Customer service felt pretty meh, and with construction making the parking lot a bit of a hassle, it just didn't feel like the easiest stop. The liquor store owner was also standing outside checking where people were parking which felt a little bizarre being that there's not many parking spots. Glad I gave it a try, but probably wouldn't go back. read more

I was on a matcha hunt and found this place through Yelp. I want to start off by saying that both times we have been here service has been beyond amazing and every single person working has been just as attentive. You can definitely tell how appreciative they are and the love they have for their business and customers. I tried a strawberry matcha with oat milk and a strawberry horchata matcha with oat milk. Both drinks were delicious but my personal favorite was the strawberry horchata matcha. My only suggestion would be to add bigger drink sizes. The place is small but feels really cozy and there's limited seating for you to wait for your drinks. read more

Wow been following the business for awhile. Great coffee. Can be a bit sweet but you can always adjust the flavor. Service is great. Their new location is a lot bigger with better parking and waiting space. I love the horchata shaken espresso and their banana foam. You can tell it's crafted. Love watching the business grow. read more

Jonathan and Dana are the sweetest and are super kind when I go to The Coffee Machine (almost every day). The customer service is the best and the drinks are amazing! Honestly this is the best coffee spot. I always get the Mexican mocha 1/4 and it is always consistently great. This is an amazing place to go visit. read more
This is a great little husband and wife small business coffee shop. I had them make be a cortado, and Donna did a terrific job making me one. The cortado was rich in flavor, and quite robust towards the end. It was perfect for slow sipping and enjoyment. The coffee machine uses single origin coffees from Mexico. They place is mostly to go, but they do offer a few seats inside if you would like to stay a bit and chat. They offer rotating pastries. Donna and Jonathan are super nice and would appreciate your business to share their great espresso based beverages. There's a parking lot out in front, and they are conveniently off interstate 5 on Palm in Palm City just south of Chula Vista. read more

Saw this place on instagram and since we were nearby, we had to try it! Everyone that works there is friendly and welcoming! We had the cinnamon toast marsh latte and mazapan latte, but the whole menu sounded so good so we're planning on coming back! The shop itself is not very big so it's more of a pick up cafe :) The location doesn't have very many parking spots, BUT the palm ave trolley is right across the street so you can park there or there's side street parking. Honestly, this coffee shop is going to get even busier because right next to the trolley station is so smart, lol! read more

I really wanted to like this place, and really want to support small businesses. Unfortunately their drinks really upset my stomach. I even went back a 2nd time hoping the first time was a fluke, but it wasn't. Both times I ordered matcha drinks w/oat milk, but two different variations. They both tasted really good, but within an hour or so my digestive system couldn't handle them. Maybe the staff/management really needs to investigate their compliance with food safety standards. Whatever the reason, I hope things really improve there. I still gave 3 stars because at least I thought the flavors were really good. read more

I loved this place! The space is really cozy and clean. The owners and the girl that takes you order are super nice and make you feel welcomed. Asked for the pan dulce and they were super nice telling us the flavors. Pan dulce was really fresh. We tried 2 matchas: strawberry and horchata. They were delicious. Authentic matcha and you can also taste the horchata and the strawberry. Sometimes when you order "something" horchata it only tastes like milk with cinnamon, but the matcha actually had a dense texture that tasted like horchata. My sister got cafe de la olla as well, and it is super tasty. Can't wait to come back and try another drink! When leaving, they tell you to have a nice day with a positive attitude. I've been to places where the attitude is not the best... Totally recommended! read more

Came here after my cousin and his wife recommended it. It's very quaint and definitely suited for to-go orders only. I got a gansito latte with oat milk and to my surprise, they put a whole ass gansito in there! I immediately wanted to pull it out to eat lol. Drink was very good, tasty, and totally had the gansito taste down. Was done with my drink by the time I made it home. Will definitely be back soon! Also, the owners are super nice and authentic! I wish this coffee shop nothing but success!!! read more
