    Jalapeno cheddar bagel breakfast sandwich & vanilla latte
    Yesenia Y.

    Found this place unexpectedly. Very cute barncore aesthetic on the inside and clean. A little limited on the coffee flavor options but the bean itself is good so I was not disappointed. The staff were nice and open to accommodations. Service was fast. I had the vanilla latte and breakfast sandwich. I wish they had some sauces like hot sauce or jams to compliment the food. I'll return again. Pet friendly :)

    Kingdom Coffee ooooow wee! Location location location, perfect place to have a coffee spot . Get to watch the kids enjoy soccer and have strand tasty flavors while you wait. We love the convenience!!!

    Cinnamon roll
    Marc B.

    Good coffee place. The cinnamon roll was made by Bread & Cie, but it's not the same quality as in-bakery; different shape, too thick (aka doughy) and doesn't have enough flavor (needed much more frosting). The croissant sandwich with cheddar, bacon and egg was cold, which suggests they made the eggs a while befpre and didn't keep them warm. Lovely location, but hard to find if you don't know exactly where to turn in. Nice interior. The seats were full inside, so we sat outside. The person ordering partially put in the order wrong (forgot oat milk in the coffee and delivered the wrong waffle). The staff was nice and fixed the errors in the order.

    We really enjoy this coffee house when we are passing through the area. The baristas are friendly and we love 5hat they do pour overs! The place is cute with seating inside and out. They have lots of goodies; we need to try one next time!

    Great little local spot next to a park, lots of families hanging out on the weekends. A nice place to support local.

    Busy coffee shop with decent coffee. Not sure it's anything special but probably popular because it's right next to the kids' soccer business. It was busy on a Saturday morning and parking was crazy. There are a few tables inside and more seating outside. There was a Bible study or something happening inside when I was there. I ordered a tea latte and an acai bowl. Both were meh.

    I've been to every coffee shop in Poway. This one is now my top two. Plenty of parking and has seating inside and outside. There are monthly specials. I got the Oatmeal Cookie Latte. Had the right amount of sweetness and creaminess from the oat milk.

    Vanilla Matcha Latte
    Briana J.

    The ambiance and decor is nicely thought out and the service was good. The vanilla Matcha Latte was pretty mid. It was very warm for being iced so the ice melted really quickly. It also reeked like horse poop right outside so it didn't make me want to linger around for very long. I'll maybe give it another chance since it's so close to my house.

    Sadly, there were no vegan muffins, croissants, scones, or rolls in the pastry case at about 10 am.

    Heads up for vegans: There were no vegan pastries (even though it's on the menu). The June 2025 specials with banana sound tasty but a kind barista told me all banana drinks are made with half&half. Wish they could make a vegan banana option. I got the pineapple coconut matcha instead and it was yummy!

    Banana cold brew and vanilla cold brew with oat milk
    Deanne L.

    First impression review! Passed this place at first because I thought it was in the plaza behind it but it's really right where the soccer fields are. Very busy on a Saturday morning but service was quick. Tried something off their June monthly drink menu which was the Banana Cold Brew. This is the first time I've ever had a "real banana" taste in my coffee, I'm used to artificially flavored banana at other shops so it caught me off guard. Took a few sips for me to enjoy it but I eventually did and don't regret it. Good caffeine boost and interesting flavor. The vanilla drink needed a good stir for it to be delicious as well. Friendly service. Parking packed during a soccer game/practice

    Hands down my new go-to coffee spot in Poway. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Decided to try their Chaga latte after learning about it from the team. Stuck with regular milk instead of almond though. It was slightly sweet, and no mushroom taste. Maybe a little earthy, at most, but definitely enjoyed it. I also ordered a breakfast bagel sandwich, on an everything bagel, which included eggs, bacon and cheese. Now, it's no gourmet dish, but perfect for a quick easy breakfast. The best part, everything was super affordable, and fairly priced! A large latte and breakfast sandwich for ~$11? Definitely unheard of nowadays. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and they offer WiFi. Definitely feels like a good ol' cafe, where you can sit and enjoy time with friends, or get to work with your laptop. I would absolutely recommend making a trip here, enjoy!

The overall experience (staff, variety/availability, drink quality) was incredibly disappointing because I hear great things about this place. There were quite a bit of people in there, so I'm sure it's great at times. Settling for the Vietnamese Iced Coffee as 1 of our 2 drinks, sadly it was mostly ice. The drink was done in a few sips. It felt like the cup was filled with ice and then put the coffee in. Don't get me wrong, the drink was good and the coffee was strong. The other drink was the Creme Brulee Latte. If you like the sugar un-bruleed, this is the drink for you. I saw the top was torched for a few seconds, but the drink was still in the tiny sugar crystals. The coffee part is also nice and strong, though the drink is not as sweet as it sounds. Overall, lack-luster and expensive for the $7.60 - Large.

He had an extremely Foul mouth, I didn't appreciate that since I had my kids with me, and it was just unprofessional as well. He kept talking to the people on bar and was drinking coffee while "helping" people at the register. It was behavior I've never seen or dealt with at any cafe.

Another drink i got was the Vanilla with banana cold foam with toffee. The banana cold foam literally taste like a frozen banana, crazy right? Cold foam is perfect right amount of sweetness with that strong banana flavor. Place can be packed over the weekend, so arrive early or expect a little wait, but generally it moves fast. The pastries are very popular along with the Empanadas. The strawberry orange (GF) Muffin was good. Moist, flavorful and perfect pairing of both flavors.

But hidden gems are usually called hidden for a reason. I walked in and asked what their most popular sandwich was. The guy recommended the California Club, which happens to be one of my go to sandwiches anywhere, so I told him to make that and add pickles because let's be honest, you gotta have pickles. Now I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, the guy making the sandwich took a sweet time. I mean almost a solid almost 10 minutes, and at one point I caught myself thinking, "This thing better be incredible." Well... it was incredible. Absolutely worth the wait. Fresh bread, stacked, flavorful, tactical, and one of those sandwiches where after the first bite you immediately stop caring how long it took. In fact, after the baseball game I went back a second time and grabbed a Cobb salad for my wife. Of course I had a few bites as a delivery tax. That thing was tremendous too. When I picture a really good Cobb salad, this is exactly what I want. Packed with egg, bacon, avocado, and just the right amount of blue cheese. Not skimpy at all. The salad also took longer than expected, but honestly I'd much rather wait a few extra minutes for food that's made right instead of rushed garbage. Well done. Easy five stars.
