Kettle Coffee and Tea

I really enjoyed the turkey wrap that I ordered. I didn't know what to expect and it was really awesome. The wrap was rather large and cut into halves. It could be shared if you and a friend aren't too hungry. The veggies inside were fresh and delicious. The drink I had was refreshing and tasty. Unfortunately I don't remember the name but I believe it was lemonade with hibiscus tea.

It's amazing that one of my favorite places to read, write, and research is less than 5 miles from where I live. The ambiance is great. Peaceful. Not distracting. They have a wide variety of coffees and teas and food to go along with it. The Wifi here is fast enough and easy to connect to. They are enjoying the outdoor dining here on Grand Avenue. Highly recommended.

Kettle wins the prize on creativity in coffee! The Kyoto Cold Brew is so smooth :). Cannot wait to try the New Orleans creation on our next trip. We also had mochas and vanilla lattes...EVERY coffee drink was spot on! Their coffee is roasted to perfection. Croissants are HUGE and delicious, and the granola with berries is the best I have ever had...crisp and not mushy!

Great not so little cafe with a roastary.

Stopped here to get some work done on my way back to San Diego. I pick Chelsea's brain a little bit and she seem to know a lot about coffee and the espresso of the day. I ended up getting an Americano in a muffin muffin wasn't anything to call Home about but I'm assuming it's from a nearby bakery. The Americano was really good and the icing on the cake was definitely Chelsea's customer service

Did you have an affogato with gelato from the place next-door I really wanted to try that but I didn't get a chance

I noticed the place was Pretty clean the few patrons either taking classes are working from home,

As soon as I got up to leave a young lady came and clean my table so I'm sure they keep the place super clean all the time. I'm trying to add a picture but seems like the yelp app is tripping out right now

I am glad Kettle CAT survived the pandemic! They really care about customer service. No I am not just saying that because I got a free birthday meal. The manager was so sweet the very first time we met. He could see I was starving and offered me a free muffin on the house. Danny, you are wise beyond your years. As God is my judge, you will outlive all your competitors including Barbucks or whatever that other place is named.

They make butterscotch lattes here! Oh, I'm in heaven! We also partook in the turkey sandwich, the strawberry lemonade, and the rose lemonade. The strawberry lemonade had crushed strawberries at the bottom - always a sign of quality. The rose lemonade was delicately-flavored, and not overwhelming. We asked that the turkey sandwich be toasted, a request that they obliged. It was perfect, and the condiments did not overtake the rest of the sandwich (topped with tomatoes, greens, and mustard).

Bonus: they have cookies made by The Cravory. Yum!

I came here during their anniversary and they were giving free coffee to everyone! The atmosphere is also warm and welcoming. I was very satisfied.

Unfortunately, they lost my order and it took longer than expected to get my cappucino. But I was staying there to work so it wasn't too big of a deal for me.

I don't get it. Maybe it's just me (it frequently is). I don't think their coffee drinks are that great. The service is always glacially slow. It was, before COVID, a place to sit and hang out. So there was that. And now, with some outdoors place to squat I suppose that's back but overall, I think there are better options where the staff isn't so tediously, condescendingly, slow. We should slow the pace of life down. We should spend more time enjoying things. Problem is, for Kettle, waiting for your average drinks probably isn't one of those things we needed to spend more time doing.

They could easily get better. Here's to hoping they do.

Until then however, maybe somewhere else...

Kettle is downtown Escondido's stop for good, local coffee. They've got ample seating, nice staff, and a good selection. Prices are moderate for the market, and definitely reasonable. I've yet to get a drink there that I haven't liked!

Only thing that would make it perfect for me would be if they were open a little later. However, I understand that everyone's gotta get home sometime, and after dark can be a bit odd in downtown.

Just happened to walk past this place today and went it and got an iced vanilla latte. It was really good and the staff were amazing. Will definitely be back!
