Iliana M.

My coffee and sandwich was amazing! Forgot to take a picture of my drink, but I got the Iced Banana Bread Latte with half the syrup and it was delicious! I also got the prosciutto & fig sandwich and it lasted me 2 meals for how big it was! Such a cute place with both indoor and outside seating with plenty of outlets to work or study (they do have wifi)! The workers were friendly too! Only downside is parking. You have to park in the nearby neighborhoods or across the street, but that won't stop me from coming back to try more drinks and sandwiches!

Strawberry Matcha
Keanna K.

Nothing special about this place, it is subtle and cute for the neighborhood. WFH spot, with lots of outdoor patio seating available. I would consider hiring more experienced Barista's. Matcha was pretty but one of the worse tasting matcha's I've had. Also not a fan of the freeze dried strawberries. Dog friendly so that's nice! They offer small sandwiches, however the display was not very clean Still a new shop so hoping for improvement as time goes on!

I got one of their seasonal pumpkin lattes which was solid. Service was quick. It's a nice cool atmosphere inside - maybe a bit sterile of an environment. There's plenty of space to sit inside and outside. Great place to study. Parking is a bit tough - there's street parking. The liquor store lot next door has signs saying specifically only for their customers.

Turkey Aioli Sandwich
Stephanie B.

Good Italian sandwiches on soft foccacia bread. The turkey aoli was delicious and a good balance of meats and spreads. Drinks looked good, however I did not get one. You order at the counter and they call your name when ready. Parking is really challenging as they don't have a designated lot and minimal street parking. The cafe has indoor and outdoor seating, however, the outdoor area was a bit of a wind tunnel.

Pistachio mortadela
Arnold T.

Very impressed with the italian sandwhich. We got the pistachio mortadella and it is expectedly to be sweet from the pistachio cream but I was surprised that it had actual pistachio nuts. Focaccia bread is good...it think the sandwich might be better if the bread was lightly toasted. Very clean place and they have an outdoor area if you have pets.

Pistacchio mortadella
Curt T.

Wow. Good flavorsandwich. It didn't have much truffle flavor but love the pistacchio nuts in it for the crunch. And the goat cheese and mortadella was crazy delicious. A great sandwich. The staff was pleasant and quick service. Plenty of seating inside and have outdoor seating also and appears like pets are allowed. Great sandwiches and the coffeess look good as well. I'd come back.

Interior
Michelle W.

- parking can be tricky but there's a small lot to the left and behind as well as the large plaza across the street! - the interior had an industrial cement look and it was large too, lots of seating both indoor and outdoor - the staff were so sweet and welcoming! (1) pistachio mortadella sandwich ($15): so pleasantly surprised how packed this was! My craving for a mortadella sandwich was thoroughly satisfied after this. The pistachio spread, creamy goat cheese, fresh arugula, and mortadella slices were a winning combo (2) banana bread latte ($7.50): this was a hit too. The espresso was strong not bitter and the fresh banana flavor wasn't too sweet (I asked for less sweet!). That cream top added a nice banana vanilla flavor as well

Berries and cream matcha
Eugene C.

I had wanted to come here when they first opened but didn't get a chance to check it out until recently. It's located right under a residential building so you will need to find some street parking nearby. I originally came here cause I wanted to try some drinks but I did notice that they were also selling Italian sandwiches which interested me so I went with the pistachio mortadella while my partner went with the Tuscan truffle. We also got a berries and cream matcha and iced toasted marshmallow latte to try. I'll start off by saying that I thought the drinks were just okay. The creams on both the drinks were good but I don't think the matcha nor the coffee were very noteworthy in anyway (matcha didn't have a very prominent flavor and the espresso didn't seem very potent either) which is a shame because they do look very pretty. On the other hand though the sandwiches were definitely worth it. Not only are they massive but the quality of ingredients and the combination of flavors made them exceptional. For example the Tuscan truffle comes with a lot of ingredients which includes goat cheese, hot honey, salami, turkey, etc and they all complement each other very well. I also haven't had pistachio cream in a sandwich before but I really enjoyed it in the pistachio mortadella (added a sweet touch and the texture of the cream worked well with the sandwich also). There are definitely other Italian sandwich shops in San Diego which I think have better focaccia bread but they also happen to be way more expensive than this location (probably 5-6 dollars more on average). I would definitely come back for the sandwiches but unfortunately not too sure on the drinks for me personally.

Latte
Queenie N.

The drinks looked more aesthetic than they tasted. The coffee was watery and underwhelming. The matcha was also more dessert-like. Honestly, it felt more like influencer-based marketing than a place focused on making genuinely good drinks.

Outside
Madison W.

It was a little difficult to find since it's part of an apartment complex. My directions took me to behind the building. Parking is only street parking too. The inside was very clean and aesthetic while also being super spacious! I would definitely come back to wfh. I got the prosciutto and fig sandwich and the ingredients all paired perfectly together. The banana bread latte was more artificial banana tasting so I didn't really like it and wouldn't recommend unless you like that type of banana flavoring. They have lots of other cool drinks to try! My latte came out quick but had to wait a little for the sandwich which makes sense.

Outside seating

I was craving a really good sandwich and all I could think about were the photos I'd seen online of Vici Cafe's massive focaccia sandwiches. After one look at the menu, I knew I was making the drive out. Vici Cafe advertises itself as a specialty coffee and sandwich shop. The coffee menu looked great, but I was there for one thing only, a focaccia sandwich. They offer seven different options ranging from about $14 to $16. Every single one sounded good. Choosing was honestly the hardest part. Parking can be a little tricky. I could see it being frustrating if you're planning to stay for a while to study or work. When I arrived there wasn't a line, but the place was definitely busy. Every seat inside was taken. The large outdoor patio, however, was almost completely empty. The staff was friendly. I placed my order and waited about 10 minutes for my sandwich. My only small complaint was that it was hard to hear names being called from the patio. I found myself walking back toward the pickup counter a few times just to make sure I hadn't missed my order. I landed on the Pistachio Mortadella sandwich. It comes with mortadella, truffle goat cheese, arugula, pistachio cream, garlic aioli, and crushed pistachios. This sandwich is beautiful. The focaccia looked fresh. The layers were stacked high. There was a generous amount of meat. The pistachio cream and arugula gave it great color. The first few bites were incredible. The pistachio cream added a sweetness that paired really well with the salty mortadella. The arugula brought freshness. The focaccia had a great texture. Everything worked together and I immediately understood the hype. Then I got halfway through it. The problem wasn't the quality. The ingredients tasted fresh. The flavors were good. It was just so rich. Between the garlic aioli, pistachio cream, truffle goat cheese, and oils from the meat, every bite felt heavier than the last. At some point I found myself wishing there was something acidic to cut through everything. A pickled vegetable. A vinaigrette. Something bright. The sandwich felt like it was missing a contrast. I would still come back because the quality is there. The focaccia is excellent. The ingredients taste fresh. Next time I think I'd order something lighter. The Prosciutto and Fig already has my attention because it still gives that sweet and savory combination without sounding quite as heavy.

Current menu and prices

Got here on a friday morning and it was pretty busy with no indoor seating. Good thing that there is plenty of outdoor seating. Parking is difficult in the area, either get lucky and park on Ulric st. In front or across the street. We got two sandwiches Pistachio Mortadella & Tuscan Truffle. Both delicious sandwiches i give them a 5/5. Also got two drinks, Iced strawberry Matcha & Iced Latte. They both were really good and refreshing. 5/5 The cafe is really nice inside and outside with comfortable seating and good lighting.

Iced toasted marshmallow latte
Denise C.

They offer coffee, sandwiches, and other café favorites. I ordered the avocado toast and an iced Toasted Marshmallow Latte from their specialty menu. I have to say, the coffee was excellent, very well balanced, with the perfect blend of marshmallow flavor and coffee without either overpowering the other. The marshmallow topping was a fun touch with the crumbles it just added a little extra sweetness and texture to the drink. The avocado toast was fresh and flavorful, it had arugula, tomatoes, some type of cream cheese or cream with a chili and it made it the perfect pairing with the latte. Overall, it was a great experience, friendly staff. I'd definitely come back to try more from their menu.

This quaint and unassuming coffee shop delivered spectacularly. Located in a really small strip mall, we were happy to get a parking space in the parking lot. Walking in, it had a tropical safari theme. It's not a big place but just enough for a few small tables and displays. I ordered at the register and the girl that helped us was super nice. She made great suggestions on the coffees. We tried their Latte with oat milk and the Maple nut latte. We also tried their pistachio-apricot scone. The lattes were excellent! Great, strong coffee flavor but with no bitterness. It was really smooth. And the scone? Loved it! Great taste and texture. Perfect crumb. Oh how I wish this place was in North County. I'll definitely be back!

Tried: Blueberry cobbler latte - I wasn't a fan of this drink as the syrup was a little odd but friend liked it. Banana cream pie latte - I thought it came with the banana cold foam but it does not. The taste was okay on this.

During that time, I could clearly see my completed order sitting on the pick-up counter. Employees passed by or chatted without checking on customers waiting at the counter. Ultimately, I received my food 10 minutes late, even though it had been sitting ready for most of that time. To top it off, when I got home, the extra sauce I paid for via the app was missing. While I should have checked the bag before leaving, the overall delay and lack of attention made for a frustrating experience. Suggestion for management: Implementing a designated self-serve rack for online pick-ups, like many other chains do, would streamline the process significantly. It would get customers out the door faster and take pressure off staff when they are busy. Note: I actually like the food here, I just dread knowing no matter what I do the service won't be good. I've visited this location multiple times, and unfortunately, the service consistency remains hit-or-miss.

After heading over and trying a few items really regretted not going g earlier. Ordered the coconut Sunday with coconut and mango ice cream. Best coconut ice cream! It is served w/3 scoops plus coconut meat in a coconut shell. 5/5. We also ordered the sticky rice w/mango sundae w/mango ice cream. 5/5 We ordered to take home the coconut jelly and the bar bin for home. Enjoyment. Again both were great. Cute interior design with a few seats and a couple outside. Parking may be limited at busy times- we did luckily find one next to the building but didn't see any others. Staff was super friendly, answered questions for items we weren't sure about and advised how to heat up our take home item.

Super good desserts…read more Cleanliness and consistency is the issue First few times I've had the original I had so much coconut shavings and mango and coconut milk and when I ordered side of rice it was a good amount Today it was small amount of rice with a few drops of coconut milk and 3 piece of coconut and 4 pieces of mango it's not like my first 2 times And my ice cream part didn't even have coconut milk If you go here it will randomly be good. Cleanliness especially bathroom looks really dirty and unorganized. As busy as this place, they need to clean up and add more quality place to hang out in. Still very good desserts, like I said the issue now is consistency and cleanliness Thank you guys
