The menu is on the left side, while you order on the right side. I thought that was a little difficult to read while standing in line. The drinks are pretty basic, from what I was looking at I don't think they have any seasonal specials. However they had teas and pastries to enjoy as well. My friend ordered a ~$6.25, Medium Iced Caramel (Sauce) Latte with Oat Milk. He said it had a good flavor and enjoyed it. I tried their $5.25, Small Iced Vanilla Latte with Whole Milk. Despite being on the smaller side, the drink was more milky than I'd prefer it being. However, the taste of the vanilla was nice. The prices being under $7-8 for iced lattes is really nice! Especially in RSF I thought they'd make it more expensive. (Idk first time in the area). If I'm in the area, I'll take another look at the menu and try something else.

We stopped by this Saturday and waited in line looking forward to a warm, flavorful cinnamon twist…read more Unfortunately, what we received was a pastry that appeared underbaked and lacked the texture and flavor we expected. The location and menu are appealing, but based on our visit, the quality of the pastries was disappointing. We hope the bakery reviews its baking consistency and quality control so future customers have a better experience. Our friendly advice: if you're stopping by for coffee and pastries, you may want to consider getting your coffee elsewhere until the pastry quality improves.

Achilles Coffee in the Carmel Valley area has become one of those coffee shops I can always count…read moreon. It's consistently clean, quick, and most importantly, the coffee is excellent. What really makes this location stand out, though, is the staff. Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely personable. They remember an impressive number of regular customers by both name and order, which gives the place a neighborhood coffee-shop feel that's becoming harder to find. Natalie especially deserves recognition. She's consistently outstanding, friendly, attentive, personable, and always makes you feel welcome rather than like you're simply the next order in line. Great coffee gets you through the door, but employees like Natalie are what keep you coming back. The location itself is always clean, there's plenty of outdoor seating, and parking is incredibly easy. Between the consistently great coffee, quick service, and staff who actually care about their customers, Achilles is easily one of my go-to coffee spots in the area.

I went with a create your own bagel sandwich and it hit the spot! It was pretty busy for a weekday but we got our food and drinks in a timely manner. However, service could be improved. Noticed the bus boy/server was cutting through customers in a very rushed/rude manner-not really saying anything and almost appearing as if he wanted to push us out of the way. Caught him rolling his eyes at a customer. When he came to our table with our bagels, he just sat the plates down without acknowledging us or even saying a word. Must be a Gen Z thing idk.

A friend from Idaho informed me that Invita Cafe was trying to be ruined by people who were…read moretriggered and unhinged that this family owned business was honoring and paying respect to Charlie Kirk after his assassination by placing "Thank You Charlie Kirk" stickers on their coffee cups. After my friend shared this with me, I was determined to support this business because I couldn't believe people would do that to a business for simply thanking a young man for all that he did during his 31 years on Earth. Despite Invita being far from where I live, I've been blessed to visit their Rancho Santa Fe location on two occasions and both times, I was served delicious coffee and received outstanding customer service. I'm giving Invita 4.5 stars because on my second visit, I ordered a featured coffee, but decided to change it up because it wasn't too flavorful. There are two Invita Cafe locations in San Diego with their Rancho Santa Fe spot and their other location in Carlsbad. As I indicated above, my first visit was the Saturday after word got out that people were disparaging the business and it was jam packed with customers out the door. The Rancho Santa Fe cafe is one of several businesses in Cielo Village. This village can be reached utilizing Del Dios Highway, which is a scenic route surrounded by a lake, mountains, and foliage. There is plenty of parking at this small outdoor strip mall. Invita Cafe is across from Beyond Pilates and Q1 Real Estate. Nuevo is also located here and Invita is next to Goli Pizza Eatery. The coffee shop has brick on the outside and there are outdoor tables and chairs to enjoy your coffee and food. After being in the long line that first Saturday, I finally got to see the inside and the color scheme is black and white. There are accent pics, decorative lighting, and a corner where there's merchandise you can purchase. It's a small space with counter/stool seating. The employees behind the register were diligent handling the crowd seamlessly and they provided friendly customer service. The two times I visited Invita Cafe Rancho Santa Fe were on Saturday. The first time customers were lined out of their door and the second time, I visited at 7:30am, which was 30 minutes after they opened. Both visits, I ordered coffee, but besides coffee, Invita's menu consists of tea, wellness drinks, breakfast items, salad, flatbreads, toast, and sandwiches. When I return, I'll make sure to try their food, but on my two visits, I had to try their coffee since Invita is a coffee shop. During my first visit, I ordered a white mocha with two pumps of hazelnut. After my first sip, I could tell Invita uses quality coffee beans because the coffee was tasty, the hazelnut made it flavorful, it was rich, and it seriously was an enjoyable cup of Joe. During my second visit, I tried one of their featured coffees that was displayed on their counter, but after taking a few sips, I informed the young lady who made it that it wasn't flavorful. I asked her for a white mocha with two pumps of hazelnut, but this time, a young man remade it and it was as delicious as my drink when I first visited Invita. During each of my visits, the staff placed a "Thank You Charlie Kirk" sticker on my coffee cups and I really appreciated Invita's gratitude to the founder of Turning Point USA. Invita Cafe is definitely out of the way from where I live, but I'll make the sacrifice to support a business who recognizes the impact Charlie Kirk had on Americans and the youth of America. Besides the nice sentiment of appreciation for Charlie, I'll return to Invita because they serve really satisfying coffee.

For this visit, I ordered the Açaí bowl and a cappuccino. I loved the presentation of my açaí bowl and the assortment of fresh fruits (strawberries, blueberries, and bananas). It also had dried dates, honeycomb, hemp seeds, pistachios, coconut flakes, toasted oats, and cacao nibs. My pup loved the blueberries! The cappuccino was good, but was rather small. My friend ordered the Akuri Wrap, side of sourdough toast, and Desi Chai. She thought the wrap could've used a pinch of salt. The Desi chai was nicely flavored, but was a bit grainy. The sourdough was notably one of the best we've had, and we wondered where these were made. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and look forward to coming back. Service was friendly
