☕ Just discovered my new favorite spot: Brew Coffee Spot! ☕️ From the first sip, I was hooked on their delicious coffee and the vibe is just unbeatable. 🎶 Plus, their baguette with Brie was a mouthwatering delight! Highly recommended for coffee lovers and foodies alike!

Nice little coffee spot with tasty breakfast items and good coffee. When you buy a bag of beans it comes with a free coffee which is nice. Definitely feels like it’s misplaced (needs a view or moved downtown). Doesn’t belong in a big lots/goodwill shopping mall….

The first Saturday of the month, the shared parking lot hosts a farmers market, and parking is tight! Lots of seniors sit outdoors and monopolize the tables with 1 coffee for two hours!Excellent selection of coffee beans for purchase. Try the Lake Murray blend.

First time here, arrived about 10 am on a Saturday. Ordered eggs and cheese on Rosemary toast. The bread was over-toasted and I had to pull it off into very small pieces or it would have cut up the inside of my mouth. The flavors were very nice, however. Very chill atmosphere, plenty of seating and parking.

This is our favorite Lake Murray neighborhood coffee house now! Great coffee, service and atmosphere! Cannot say enough about this warm and welcoming coffee house. Free wifi, free dog treats and just a great place to relax and enjoy a wide variety of both tasty food and smooth coffees. Our coffee was robust but smooth, NOT over-roasted.

I’m so happy that I found this place. Staff is very welcoming and doing so good, quick job. I ordered cappuccino and plain croissant which was amazing! But cappuccino was so strong for me and I asked barista to change it for latte instead. She was so nice and made me a new cup of amazing latte. I’ll definitely be back and recommend this place to my friends who live this area.

Great coffee spot. Espresso drinks are great, staff is always very friendly, the food is also really good especially the breakfast sandwich. The owners hold a farmers market outside of the business once a month (maybe more) which is always a fun time.

Great local spot to get a coffee and breakfast. They have a wide range of coffees, blends and origins. Their breakfast options are very good. We chose the avocado toasts and they were delicious.

Good community place. Very clean, plenty of parking, offers free use of board games and puzzles. Sometimes offers open Mike for music, poets and comedy. Open 7 days.My only complaint is that they close most days at 3 pm.Good coffee, tea, light snacks, friendly staff and clean restrooms. Check website forFree entertainment schedule.

Cannot believe I’ve never been here before, but well worth the wait. AMAZING spot. Absolutely great for kids, handicap persons and dog friendly. Very large space with good noise control.

It’s a great place to sit down and talk with a friend, maybe get a little work done. The menu is expansive enough (although pricey). They implemented a two hour time limit on the Wi-Fi service, ensuring that you buy a food item or drink every two hours. That feels a little weird and somewhat pretentious. Lots of people will spend 3 to 4 hours at a shop. of course I will buy something before I blatantly sit down, because it’s not a library. but it’s weird to put a time limit on it that’s two hours. Mandating that I purchase something every 2 hours pretty much insures that I won’t stay long, or frequent the place.

Delicious Vietnamese coffee. Plenty of parking, seating (mainly indoor), and delicious options. Quiet enough to study. Barista could use a refresher on customer service etiquette (no greeting. no smile). Desk/Window for pick up was small/cluttered (maybe it was a busy morning?).

Drinks are good but everytime the heavy set girl working she doesnt know how to mix the drinks. It taste flat no sweetness to it or too strong with coffee. I hate to come back and waste another 5mins to make the drink right. I waste my money when that lady is there.

I’ve had a wonderful time working and hanging out here since moving to La Mesa. I love their Herbal teas and all the baristas are the best. Great pastries and lunches too. I love the green salad.

Wow! Live music and Im talking about music. Great experience and awesome atmosphere, great place to chill and enjoy a good fresh cup of coffee and get free jazz music with real peps playing real instruments. We need more places like this one for sure.

They were more than happy to make me a flat white even though it was not on the menu. We tried the croissandwich and the avacado toast. Both sandwiches were excellent. I would highly recommend this place for breakfast!

Calm environment, even when they’re busy. Someone stole our drinks and the cashier came over to our table to let us know they’d be remaking them for us, and everything was delicious and the price point is excellent!

Came here for the first time with a friend the other week.Or coffees came out warm rather than hot so drinking them outside just made them cold faster, so not as delicious.We shared a breakfast sandwich that had a beyond patty because they ran out of breakfast burritos. I think these items, they said, are those microwaveable ones that come from Costco or somewhere, so these arent exactly freshly made.I definitely would not come back here for food.I might come back to try the coffee again but with better options nearby, I might not.

Pro tip: if youre ordering a simple tea or coffee, save your cup and get a refill for just $1.Customer service here is always friendly. The drink options are robust and they have a point reward system through an app you can download to your mobile device. Every purchase earns you points towards a free item off the menu. I like to study here because its not as noisy as other cafes. Music is jot too loud and the seats are spaced out enough that you dont hear everyone elses conversations. Tables are nice and big, perfect for studying or board games. They even have a mini library and a collection of board games for customers to use.

Came here on Dec 27 morning for the first time and had an unpleasant experience!1. I waited for 20min and didn’t hear they called my name or the order’s. I’m pretty sure they did not, since I sat not too far from the counter. And also, I noticed that the customers who ordered before and after me got their drinks!I came ask the staff and she didn’t act really sorry. Surprisingly, she said “I already made it, and someone came take the order”. Excuse me?! So what’s the point of giving each customer the receipt with the order number and item on it? You should have checked it before handing out the items!!!2. She made one for me again. I can feel she was very unhappy with me through the way she called out the order and said sorry. Hmmm, what did I do wrong???3. It wasn’t too crowded but super noisy. A woman pulled up the metal chair, and 2 kids stomped on the floor for 5 mins at the same time. Many people came here to work, including me, and I can see how annoyed they were due to the noise.Dont think I will recommend this coffee shop to my friends…

I originally rated Brew Coffee Spot 5 stars on Yelp. On my first visit I was invited by a friend to hear him play. Kennedy and Quincy both provided exceptional service. Both were warm friendly kind and helpful. I was so impressed with both that I mentioned them in a 5 star yelp review AND sent each thank you cards. I was looking for an opportunity to go back. As it turned out they had a jazz band playing. Im not a Jazz person. I almost didnt go. I went because I wanted to support Brew Coffee Spot for supporting live musicI arrived there fully expecting Kennedy to be excited to see me and thank me for the card. That didnt happen instead she gave me a tounge lashing and told me to never send her a card again. I said ok and walked out with no intention of ever returning.

This place is a locals gem. I drive 10 minutes to get here from Lemon Grove. Indoor seating offers good space between tables. Outdoor seating is good. People often bring friendly dogs and quietly enjoy their visit. The espresso has a sweetness that is not your usual rich and bold shot. The coffee is just plain good. Pastries and food are always very good. The staff are generally so busy they dont interact much. Just a hello and a smile is enough to keep the day positive.Highly recommend this place.

A friend brought me here for coffee today and it immediately became my new local coffee spot. It was evident that the barista, Saul, was a true expert of the industry. Our hot specialty coffees were both brewed and prepared to perfection. The service is friendly and efficient. The environment was stress-free and the atmosphere equally conducive to both focus and socializing. The space is comfortably large with ample seating area that encourages quality leisure, instead of the cramp and cold quarters that most franchised coffeehouses offer. Im looking forward to my future visits here with friends!

Good menu variety and seating options. They have a coffee self serve station with 1$ refills for drip coffee. They recommended the pumpkin cinnamon roll but it was served dry and half cold despite being “warmed up”. Wifi is accessible by receipt only and for up to 2 hours. Pumpkin spice latte was good.

Hit this wonderful neighborhood coffee shop for some belated Mothers Day time with my son. We ended up working the coolest puzzle Id just received, while enjoying some really good coffee. The Brew Spot has lots of inside and outside tables, and is consistently busy. Thats always a good sign of a good place. Nice owners and employees too.

I have been here a couple of times for the Coffee with a Cop event. The drinks are good, and they have gluten free offerings which is great for folks like me. Their location is good too. Overall, this is a nice, friendly, and comfortable spot for a good brew and nice ambiance.

Great spot! Great place to meet up with friends and also plug away on some work. A sprinkler broke (not fault of them) that drenched car that had its windows down. The baristas were so nice and helped me dry out my car and we’re even so nice as to give me a towel so I wouldn’t have to drive on a wet seat. I ordered their iced chai and veggie bagel. Both great!!!

Staff not very friendly, have been there 3 times now and never a good morning, its just a look like you r bothering them then, what would you like. You also have to pick up your own food, cutlery, etc and bus your own table when done, which I dont mind but then they have a tip jar and a tip place on your payout when u use card.

This has become my favorite coffee shop for several reasons. Starting from the top: The owners are amazing people who get to know their customers. The staff is super friendly, and they remember your name! And, of course, they have great tasting *CONSISTENT* coffee! Their preparation of drinks is meticulous! They also have a lot of indoor and outdoor seating with a good mix of larger and smaller tables, which makes it great for a date with your significant other, a hangout with friends, or even a meeting with your team/staff. And they frequently host community events! This is a coffee shop that truly cares not just about the quality of their menu, but about the entire community. Everything about the Brew is amazing! Even during the pandemic, the owners were delivering my online orders directly to my home... same day! Give them a try, I promise youll love them too.

Good coffee, food, and atmosphere. The coffee is good. It isnt a five star roaster, but they have lots of drink options including some creative ones. They have food options that are good. Great atmosphere for meeting with a friend or a business associate. They only allow two hours of wifi with purchase, which does keep out the all day coffee shop writers and remote business workers. It seems like a detractor at first, but it does help keep a more friendly clientele.

A happening coffee shop with quite a lot of seating and drink options.First time in, everyone was nice and made a recommendation on the coffee beans they had for sale. The drinks came out quick and tasted good.I didn’t realize how big the shop was from the inside, lots of seating and music playing so you could have conversations with people and not feel like you were loud.They served the in store drinks in actual glassware, which made it feel more like a traditional coffee shop as compared to a Starbucks.

2022-07-16 20:35:22

Great place to work. Wifi is good for 2 hours and you get a code on your receipt after buying something. A lot of people bring their dogs and sit outside. A couple of vegan food and pastry options! The americano was delightful. Lots of seating. Fairly busy but not too crazy/comes and goes.

Been here only a few times being that its a bit out of my way. Every time Ive ordered the staff is always so nice and helpful. The quality of coffee seems to be on a higher level than most other shops in SD. Its enjoyable.They also seem to always have tables available in their large open seating area. Also very different from other places. Not too noisy either. Clean, and professional with a slight trendy twist.

My first visit to this coffee shop....Im presently surprised with the atmosphere, and quality of the beverages offered. The menu is typical of a coffee shop. The prices were less than what Id expect...great! A mix of tables and bar stools inside and a nice patio with shaded tables. Along with coffee there was a good selection of confections. At mid day there was a stream of customers picking up coffee. Id say this shop had developed a good clientele. You can see a national brand coffee shop in the next block. My friend and I will return.

Amazing place to relax and get coffee. Their sandwiches are delicious, coffee is perfectly made, their pastries are to die for. They have a really good rewards system and amazing customer service. The people who work there genuinely enjoy being there. Plus theres live music on Friday nights, Comedy shows on certain Saturdays, paint classes and more. And their prices are really reasonable, they even offer Happy Hour specials after 3pm daily!

I LOVED THIS PLACE.The coffee was great!Love that they have Golden Milk and Lavander Chai I think it was 😋Plenty of seating indoors and outside, even had s big comfy couch. Great place to meet with friends and talk, or to work on some projects.I tried the Salmon Bagel and it was alright, too much bagel too little Salmon. Id love to come back and try other foods and coffees, Id definitely come back for the Golden Milk alone 😂

Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and fantastic coffee! I didnt eat, but the food looks good and the prices are great. It did take about 15 minutes to get my Americano, but that was because of the number of orders they were cranking out. It was a Sunday morning at 10am, Soni think thats understandable. The staff was very friendly and you can tell there are many regulars coming in. I can see myself making many returns. This is a good spot to grab coffee or to sit down and enjoy brunch. They also have evening events! Live music and painting classes! A gem worth experiencing.

Coffee was good but there were other issues. Dont ask me three times as I am standing in front of you if I want my pastry heated. You werent paying attention and were busy doing whatever on the register. Pay attention! Two big signs are in the front windows that said no dogs except service dogs are allowed inside. Well there were two dogs in the shop. The dog owners knew the staff. I guess that makes it right. Fyi- I am a dog owner. One staff was petting one very hairy dog and then walked behind the food counter where she proceeded to brush off all the dog hair on her clothes near the pastries and coffee machine. We wont be back there.

This place has really delicious coffee! Its super high quality, rich, bold and super smooth flavor. The atmosphere is spacious and there are lots of tables. I only gave 4 stars because unfortunately this place is so awesome that its almost impossible to find a table to sit at! I always end up getting my coffee to go, for this reason. So I never get a chanxe to sit down and enjoy the atmosphere.

Brew coffee spot is a phenomenal addition to the area. Its the first true coffee house, for which theyre just absolutely perfect, but they also have great breakfast and lunch options. Its community oriented, very lively, and hosts many events, including things such as painting, live music, and game night! The floor plan is beautifully done and very open. Everything is of tremendous quality. And the graphic designs, whether that be for the swag or signs, is truly remarkable! You should definitely stop by, Brew is wonderful, tasty, and homely!

I visited around 10 a.m. on a weekday to meet a client, and the place was packed. Despite having a lot of square footage, there was no open seating available indoors. Very basic seating outside. The line to order a black coffee was incredibly slow. I would not choose to return on my own. But if someone suggested meeting there, I might give it a second chance. The clientele appeared to be moms meeting to chat with their toddlers along for the ride, as well as numerous people working on their laptops. When I finally made it to the counter I found an honor-system black coffee dispenser.. $2 cash for a relatively small cup to go (7-Eleven would be so much faster and with more choices, for a basic cup to go!) And they had quite a bit of food choices available which might be good, but also (I think) dramatically slows down the ordering line. Perhaps having multiple registers/staff taking orders would have helped speed things up at this seemingly popular and large coffee restaurant and playdate workspace that appears to be popular with the neighborhood locals.

Updating to acknowledge the amazing customer service this morning. They were busier than Ive ever seen them and I messed up my order. The barista was beyond gracious in making me feel better as well as going above and beyond to fix it for me. In a moment where I would normally feel stupid, I actually left feeling great. Kudos to Brew team and this is why I return again and again.Awesome place with yummy food and drinks!

Tried this new spot with my wife today. Some of the best coffee Ive ever had. Their menu is full of food and drinks youve never had before. The place is big, lots of tables and space, not loud, very pleasant staff. Try the lavender latte and their cinnamon rolls! Not many great coffee shops in La Mesa, this is our new favorite!

I come here often and feel obligated to finally write my review. I get coffee at a lot of local shops all around San Diego but I always find myself coming back to Brew the most. It is amongst my favorite spots including Dark Horse, Coffee & Tea Collective, and Moniker. What makes brew stand out in front of the rest? Their staff. Alongside the largest selection of food choices and great tasting pour overs, their staff has by far the friendliest outgoing workers.

Friendly people, great coffee, really yummy sandwiches. The food was not greasy. The barista was willing to sub in something since I dont eat meat, which was very kind. Only downside is the seating arrangement. While I love that its not crowded, theres not enough tables inside. Most of the tables are for two people and theyre up against the wall. What tends to happen is that each table will be used up by one person. However there is a nice patio with umbrellas outside.

I love this place and my whole family stops by constantly for drinks and food. The customer service is also great and really appreciate that if something goes wrong then they do their best to make it right by the customer. Friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere.

Its a great place for the community and I love the vibe, however every time Ive been here its been consistently slow in getting my drink(s). Ive been here during their live music nights or weekends when its crazy and even the middle of the day. Its been consistently SLOW. Service is great, the baristas know theyre a bit slow and sometimes they are apologetic.Ive learn to just get drip coffee so I dont have to wait that long.Theres definitely room for improvement and some Lean strategies could be implemented in this shop but I guess if theres business and no competition who cares right?

Great local spot, more than a coffee shop. Terrific choices on the menu, from comfort food to adventurous new items to try. Friendly staff. Comfortable seating inside & out. Great value! A tremendous asset for the neighborhood.

I have been waiting for a coffee shop like this in my community for over 10 years. I had to either drive to a different part of San Diego for coffee or succumb to starbucks before this cafe was around. Everything I have had at the Brew Coffee Spot is high quality, but the cold brew and teas are my favorite. The service is always good and its nice knowing the cafe is locally owned and operated. The open floor plan is nice too, and has plenty of seating with big tables to hang out at or be productive on work.Highly recommend Brew Coffee Spot.

Great community coffee shop and Cafe. Staff was polite and friendly, even during a rush of customers. It felt like everyone working wanted to make sure you enjoyed the food and drink.Coffee was fresh and mixed well. The carmel mocha was not overly sweet. The turkey in my panini looked fresh carved and pesto was delicious.I look forward to returning and enjoying some of the events they host in the near future.

I absolutely love Brew, and it’s so nice to have a spot like this nearby in La Mesa. Great selection of standard and specialty coffees, delicious pastries of all kinds, and kind staff. Large inside area when that’s an option, and decent outside patio as well. More of a lunch spot though, with how late they open 😜

Love this place. Friendly people, great staff, quality food and drinks. I usually come in the evening and I am always able to find a spot, either my own table or if no table is free, I kindly ask to share a table and it has always worked out. I love the view of Cowles Mountain, the interior design, the sturdy wooden tables and the overall vibe. Thank you Joe and Heather for bringing such a cool hang-out in San Carlos!!

I love Brew! The food is fresh and service is friendly. My daughter (3) and I go every Friday morning to treat ourselves and hang out. She gets a warm blueberry muffin with hot chocolate and I the breakfast sandwich on croissant with an Americano (a modification on the sandwich...I swap the ciabatta...perfect cheat breakfast!) . I will say I was disappointed last Friday. I sent the hubs to get our order to go and they refused to give him my usual croissant stating that they NEVER substitute. Obviously they do and have for me...for months. They finally conceded and charged him an extra.$2 for the change (he offered to pay extra to begin with). Annoying and unnecessary- a waste of time and 2 phone calls to me, so Im taking away 1 star. But, overall Brew is a good place and well continue to go at least for the blueberry muffins.

A great meeting place for school, business or just friends with delicious coffees and light menu items and baked goods which look delicious. Acai bowls are the best!

I love this place so much, I even came here on my birthday. Yes, the prices are a bit high, but if you take advantage of their happy hour (I always get the pistachio baklava and matcha latte) as well as the rewards program through the Clover app (free bacon avocado toast? Yes, please!) it all balances out. Oh, and my husband absolutely loves the nitro coffee - it keeps him focused on work for hours. I never felt rushed, but I also tend to avoid it on Saturdays because it does tend to get crowded. Give it a try!

A little pricey first time here they ran out of ingredients for both the things I was going to order. However the owner was very friendly and went out of his way to make sure we will come back. Coffee is fantastic and I really like the uniqueness of some of the drinks. I like hanging out here for a bit on weekend mornings with my son.

It is a very busy and crowded place with uncomfortable seating. I felt very rushed by the staff and it was overall not a comfortable experience. This could be it was a Saturday, but still very stressful environment.I tried their lemon açaí berry soda. It was fine but nothing special and certainly not worth almost three dollars.I might give it another shot another day and actually try their coffee and maybe food. I’ll update the review if it’s any better.

Cute, cozy coffee shop in La Mesa. However, my friend ordered the acai bowl which they didnt have because their kitchen wasnt open (but it was New Years day). So then my friend ordered a green tea which they also didnt have. Despite that I enjoyed the atmosphere and the employees were nice. I would definitely come back in the future.

I thought the food and drinks were good, however it took a very long time for me to get my drink and there was no one in line when I ordered. I literally was dying of thirst but it took like 35 minutes for me to get my iced green tea. 🙃 it was good enough but the wait when its 100 degrees outside, sucked.

You have a bowl that comes with PB, but when it comes to the smoothie it’s a problem.Been coming here for a year and ever since you offered an açaí smoothie I’ve added PB into it. Now in the last month it’s become an issue. Now Its a extra cost for it okay, not a problem. Today, I offered to pay that extra cost and was told I couldn’t. Your staff makes up an excuse each time (allergies, cleaning, safety or something new each time).Today I said yeah Im happy tp pay the $1.00 more. Then its another excuse after excuse, finally it comes to your staff saying “we just don’t want to clean.” I love the honesty, and appreciate them saying that. However, that is just pure laziness and you guys weren’t that busy each time.

A good place is always busy. A better place plans for that. There is one cash register/cashier so both times I have been there I stood in line for over ten minutes. Today once I was able to order the cashier got it wrong. The reason why is she was responsible for taking all the orders, ringing them up AND THEN she had to prepare the food that came out of the pastry case. This poor girl didnt know if she was coming or going. She was competent. Just over worked. The manager/owner was in that back playing around with some of the help. If I was the cashier I would have walked out.

Went in to get some coffee and saw two employees yelling at each other and not paying attention to any customers who had just walked in. I dont know who the manager is -if they have one- but they dont seem to be managing their employees at all.Also saw price list and 5 dollars for a medium coffee?? Overall a really overpriced and low quality visit.

I would give 5 stars but very often when I order two drinks, I get forgotten. Today I ordered iced coffee and americano. I got iced coffee immediately but had to wait for americano over 20 minutes and eventually had to ask for it because they forgot or lost the ticket. Also it would be appropriate from the staff to ask first, since I was standing there for 20 minutes waiting. Besides that, staff is nice and friendly always. It would be great if they would pay little bit more attention to drinks.

Great little place in sleepy San CarlosThat juncture of SD, between La Mesa and San Carlos was craving for a coffee shop and Brew doesnt disappoint. I went there on a weekday morning with a couple for parents from a nearby school. It was packed. All tables had people chatting or plugged in, doing their work. This was about 10 AM, folks! I can just imagine what Sat mornings are like. The selection of pastries was good, so was the made-to-order nibbles, such as quiche/salad. I had tea, and the brewing process took longer than I wished for, but it was on point.We sat outside, the tables have umbrellas. The coffeeshop is at an open little corner mall, so theres plenty of parking.

This place is always hoppin. Theres a good selection of coffee drinks, all the same stuff as Starbucks it seems, and they have pastries, salads, and paninis. They even have a few gluten free items, usually muffins and brownies. There are lots of tables but often are full and the bigger tables end up becoming community tables. They offer a selection of board games and wifi to keep everyone entertained. If I were to have a complaint it would be that the folks that work here are generally nice but seem to always have a bit of a struggle to get our orders right, or at least they have to ask way more questions than normal to figure out what were ordering. We always marvel at how complicated they make it! But its ok cuz we like it here.

Update: 2/18/19Stopped in today and ordered coffee and a quiche. I let the cashier know I will need some assistance and someone will need to deliver my food to my table. I explained that I only have the full use if my right arm and I also use a cane. He said he understood, and I informed him where I would be sitting outside. After a fair amount of time passed, my wife showed up and i asked her to check. Low-and-behold there was my food and coffee. The quiche and coffee were both lukewarm but delicious! In their defense, it was busy and I dont look overly disabled when standing still (even though Im a hot mess lol). 3 stars for their product, zero for customer service. I think Ill still give them another chance.reat place, coffee, snacks, and roomy interior. I liked it a lot. It would be 5 stars if they had better and more outdoor seating. I understand why they dont though.

First time I went there was a great experience, I spoke with the owner a little bit and it was nice. There was a bit of confusion regarding the drink I wanted but they worked out and I was given my iced macchiato. However, just today I had gone back there and there was this girl behind the counter who had no idea what kind of coffee I wanted until I had to point it out on the menu and then she proceeds with arguing with me about making it. Saying they cannot make a large coffee out of it when they are clearly advertising large, and I received a large coffee just that Thursday. Not to mention that for about 5 minutes shes arguing with me about making the coffee, Im sorry but this is huge no in my opinion to do to a customer, especially when youve just opened. I had planned on buying 3 coffees but they definitely lost business and 3 sales today.

Tried the Wakey Wakey and a cinnamon roll to start. The cinnamon roll was essentially my breakfast, and under those circumstances I highly recommend it. At first glance it may look a bit small and/or dry, but when you order it they ask if you prefer it warm, with frosting. This is the preparation I tried, and heartily recommend. When the cinnamon roll arrived, it was so seductively smothered in frosting that any dryness was gone, and after eating I felt as full as if Id just had a small side order of flapjacks with butter and syrup.So. As I said, under the particular circumstances I ate the cinnamon roll, I recommend it.People who know me know that I love coffee. And that I dont heap praise on coffee that is unworthy of that praise. I wholeheartedly praise this places coffee. The Wakey Wakey, which was my first coffee of the day, did its job remarkably well. I know coffee purists will wag their fingers at me for it, but I added cream & lots of sugar to mine, and I still felt like I experienced the additional frothiness and smokiness of the espresso beneath the delicious dark roast coffee. It stood up well to my mangling it of all its subtleties, I must say.Later in the day I refilled my mug, with plain dark roast coffee, and noticed the difference, and still enjoyed very much.I know Im a madman, but I turned down the opportunity to try any of the delicious-looking cookies.In the interest of full disclosure, I feel I must mention that I have met and interacted with the owner and his wife (and they are lovely people), but I really feel like I can still objectively review this place as the gem it is. They brought in a bunch of their board games from home that are free to play in the shop - how cool is that?Be sure to check out Saturday afternoon game days!

Be careful what you get if you have food sensitivities. Some of their powdered drinks have powdered milk in them. I ordered a matcha with almond milk and ended up spending the day miserable because it was pre packaged with dairy and nobody bothered to tell me. Obviously if you ask for a drink to be made with almond milk, you dont want milk. In addition, traditionally matcha doesnt come with milk so that should be indicated.The matcha is not good quality either, it just tastes like a cheap powdered drink mix. Their chai is the same brand and probably tastes just as bad.I also had an acai bowl which was ok but the acai smoothie part tasted like it had too much sugar in it.Al in all, not a very healthy or quality place even though it appears that way by looking at the menu.

It was good. Not amazing but good. I ordered a cold brew with half milk and i could not finish it. The after taste was horrible. When i went to give back my cup (i got a class cup for inhouse) the owner saw that i barely drank half off the drink he offered me a new cold brew which was fresh and that surpisingly was good. I was expecting it to be like the previous one. However with the coffee experince i would say this place is 3 stars but what made it a 4 star was the ham-yum panni i could eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner

If you like condescending behavior this is your go to place. If you dont look hipster enough youll get subpar service. Other customers were treated much better while all we got was a snarky uh-huh after saying thank you. Other costumers were clearly engaged with in a much friendlier tone. I wasnt the only one who noticed either.And my tea was delivered too fast and we all know tea doesnt work like that. It tasted like fake flavored syrup was pumped into water and ice, it was disgusting.So again, dont go in if youre not hipster or sjw looking enough ✌

Staff has alway been super friendly and helpful whenever I ask for recommendations. I have tried the avocado toast, London Fog, and one of the Herbal teas; all were great. 👍

I love that theres a indy coffeeshop within walking distance of where Im staying but both the times I have ordered an extra hot Mexican mocha its been served up lukewarm... use a thermometer or learn to listen to the milk while youre steaming, theres a certain bass note that happens when extra hot is achieved (ex-cafe owner here). Having said that, it IS one of the better Mexican mochas Ive had. So, four out of five.

The coffee is ADDICTING. I drive here about every other day, even if its a 40 minute drive round-trip. Highly recommend trying this place out at least once.

Great spot, well lit, plenty of tables for doing homework. I had a great mocha made with Mexican chocolate, would definitely go again next time Im in La Mesa.

Ordered a cappuccino and got a latte. I asked for more foam and the barista snapped that she could remake it. With her bitchy response, I took the coffee and havent gone back. The prices were more expensive than Starbucks. Pastries not good, either.

Small local shop. Good coffee and snacks. Friendly staff. Modern and welcoming feel. Board games available. Always college aged people present on laptops. A bit pricy.

For a hippy gathering place, its perfect. Good coffee, good music on fridays, and a nice environment. The drinks and food are rather pricey, but nothing to get too worked up about.
