As soon as I walked in the doors, it was decorated so cute. Very colorful, vibrant, and designed to impress. I also noticed they take pride in keeping their little coffee shop clean. I noticed the menu is extensive and impressive. So, if you are needing a new coffee shop to try, hang out, or simply to replace Starbucks, here they are! The coffee was high quality, smooth, and loaded with flavor. I wanted to give a special shout out to Sandi and Daniel because they told me it was a family-run business. They were friendly, professional, and hospitable to me. I loved the personal connection I felt which made me feel right at home. It is located in Spring Valley on Campo Road tucked away. They are a hidden gem that must be experienced. I need to come back with my appetite because they have it all here. Thank you Sandi and Daniel for giving the small-town friendly coffee experience that is rare to experience in a big city.

Im not a coffee person but I love their coffee…read more I have tried this coffee shop a handful of times and each time Ive had different drinks. Their Holiday Earl grey latte (chef's kiss), Dirty Chai, pistachio cold foam Blondie, Matcha, and their Spanish Latte. Not a single one of these drinks were too strong or too sweet. The perfect coffee for someone who typically goes for your basic flavored cold iced tea at Starbucks; here I want coffee. Their dessert display makes walking away without an accompanying pastery so difficult. Their cookies, and personal pies are amazing. I have yet to try their food but their selection is very appealing and I will surely be back to try something out. They are a fairly busy shop and their service is often times a little slow paced; something to be mindful of when visiting.

We had to go get them ourselves. The reasoning was they were warming them Up. Hmm they tasted stale. But what bothered me the most is that they wipe down the tables with lemon pledge. There was dried food stuck on our table from previous customers they sprayed lemon pledge on it 3 times to get the sticky dried gunk off. Meanwhile they were smearing it across the table. Definitely not cleaning the table for us. A little more customer care and a real cleaning process would go a long ways to getting 5 stars from me.

I stopped in recently and was blown away by the entire experience from start to finish. ​The Food ​First and foremost, the food is delicious. You can tell they use high-quality, fresh ingredients. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the presentation was beautiful. Whether you're looking for a solid caffeine fix or a full meal, they absolutely nail the menu. ​The Service ​The service here is top-notch. The staff is incredibly welcoming, attentive, and genuinely friendly. I didn't have to hunt anyone down for a refill or a napkin; they were proactive and made me feel right at home. It's clear they take pride in what they do. ​The Ambiance ​The atmosphere is just "right." It has a really nice ambiance, chic yet cozy, making it the perfect spot for a productive work session, a catch-up brunch with friends, or even a relaxed solo date. The lighting and decor create a vibe that makes you want to stay for "just one more" coffee. ​The Verdict: Tappi's Cafe is the real deal. Great food, stellar service, and a beautiful space. I'll definitely be back soon! ​Highly recommended!

The menu is long and varied. There is definitely something for everyone here. We ordered a decaf cappuccino to start. Warning, unless you specify a regular size they will bring you the large, 16 ounce by default. I would prefer if they asked what size we wanted first. We ordered the shakshuka, the veggie georgian cheese pie and the soufflé pancake. The pancake takes 20-30 minutes and cones with a bit of whip cream some fruit and syrup. Overall the shakshuka and the pie were very good. The soufflé pancake was a bit of a let down. Let's just say I've had better Japanese soufflé pancakes elsewhere. I would likely go back and try some of their other dishes.

I was really at a loss a few months ago when they changed their recipe! I drive by this establishment every day on my way to get on the 94. I thought to myself, "one time can't hurt!" OH MY GOODNESS!!! The Chai tea ACTUALLY had TASTE! It did not taste like that new found chemical (classic) taste Starbucks apparently has pumped into my beloved drink. The customer service was bubbly and jovial! I went inside one day because the drive thru was a tad chaotic, and I saw what I believed to be the owner. He was so just, chill and carrying on with the patrons. I really hope he is cognizant and proud of his bustling coffee shop he has created. This man, is also on the headset as well. So the work ethic is there. I want to see this for a local business! This is why they THRIVE! I have never met this person, no idea of his name, I am an observer as well as being part of the food and beverage industry. I appreciate greatness. The customer service here, all around is 10/10! It took me 4 times going through the drive thru (they have a camera) , for them to know EXACTLY what I order! Crew! You actually make my day!! Shout out to Sara and Melody! Give this place a go! Oh,oh they also have a punch card! Make sure to get one! You get $5 off when you hit a certain number! (The number could be lower ;-)) Ok, I'll see you tomorrow guys :-)

New Fave Iced Coffee: The Lemon Poppyseed Shaken Espresso…read more If you are in Spring Valley/La Mesa area, you have to stop by and try this drink. I was able to peek the inside from their drive thru line and the seating and space looks very comfortable. The drive thru line itself is a huge plus for me when on-the-go before work/errands. Getting back to the drink, I did order this iced with Oat Milk and half sweet -- It is so delicious My coworkers were even surprised at how much they liked it because of the lemon. Me personally? I love anything with lemon in it. Well balanced, tasty, not too much... just right and strong to get you through the day!

So far, I've tried the pandan, the brown sugar, and the sesame latte all iced w/ oat milk and they've all been a hit. The pandan is easily my fave, but if you're trying the brown sugar and don't love super sweet drinks I'd recommend adding an extra shot to balance it out. The drinks are consistently good and you can tell they really care about the quality. It's one of those spots you keep thinking about and end up going back to without even planning it. Customer service was solid and there's plenty of seating, which makes it a nice place to hang out or get some work done. Parking was also easy, which is always a win. Highly recommend checking this place out especially if you're a pandan lover like me!

There's indoor seating with chairs & tables as well as comfy chairs. The outdoor seating is covered under umbrellas. I got a matcha with almond milk and added lavender.

I'll definitely give this place another shot. Gotta support our local coffee shops!

Stopped by on a Sunday morning around 9:30 and the place was already bustling. We ordered two…read morebreakfast dishes and a couple of coffees. The staff was genuinely friendly, and we were able to find a seat inside without too much trouble. We expected a bit of a wait given how busy it was, but the timing ended up being a bit off. Our food arrived first--we had the avocado toast and the mini green chilaquiles. Both dishes were delicious, though the chilaquiles verdes leaned a little heavy on the garlic. (Seriously--hours later, even after brushing, lunch, and multiple rounds of mouthwash, that garlic flavor was still going strong.) We took our time eating, hoping the drinks would arrive, but they didn't come out until much later. We ordered a cappuccino and an iced churro latte. The cappuccino finally came out right as we finished eating--it tasted good, just a bit lukewarm. About five minutes later, the iced churro latte was ready, so we ended up taking it to go. That one was actually really good. Overall, the food and drinks were solid, and the staff made a great impression. I'd definitely like to come back and give it another shot. I love supporting small, locally owned businesses, and with a little adjustment to the flow--like pausing mobile orders during peak times or dedicating a team specifically to them--this place could really elevate the experience.
