Invita Café

Nice quiet spot to grab delicious coffee and a snack or sandwich. I love their iced mochas and banana bread. My husband loves their turkey avocado sandwich! Especially nice to visit this cafe on the weekend with the car show.

Wonderfully Quiet & Serene Location. The Most Relaxing Music, Great Coffee, Service & People !!!

Fantastic place! Amazing coffee. Stylish modern looking play room. We loved it here

Great café and food, excellent customer service

Drive however far you must!!
I usually order a caramel latte.. with a flavor so perfect that I’ll drive 30m just to get it. Today I switched it up a bit, which resulted in quite the struggle. Aubree made my drink THREE times because the first time I ordered a large, not realizing it has four shots and is thus stronger and more bitter. The second time she made sure it wasn’t overpowering… but it was milkier than I’m used to and had lost that signature coffee flavor. So, with some embarrassment, I asked if I could have it made one more time. That’s when she crafted that oh so perfect beverage with the right amount of sweetness and the special slightly earthy coffee edge that lingers on your palate, making their coffee the absolute best in San Diego. Aubree understood my need to experience this perfection of a drink and her patience and kindness made her truly shine as a wonderful barista. Thank you Aubree!

Invita has amazing service, and delicious drinks. They really know what they’re doing. They’re always well staffed and can get me my drink quickly even when they’re busy. I also love their seasonal drinks like the Beetroot Latte aka “Rosie’s Kiss.” Also - don’t forget to enjoy the huge lounge next door that they own and operate for all patrons. This is such a special hidden gem in Rancho Santa Fe. I’m grateful to live right up the street and enjoy all that they have to offer.

This place is epic and brings me back to Italy where you can get a great espresso for $1 or double espresso for $2-2.50. Great space for working and has a peaceful interior and beautiful outdoor patio. Will be spending many of days here and can't wait to bring friends by for an afternoon pick-me-up or morning espresso.

Excellent local coffee shop with unique flavor and a great atmosphere.

So, normally everything is really good. I like the coffee usually and the toast is really good too. But, it is not very clean. The chia puddings that sit in the glass window has mold. I doubt they make new ones that are fresh everyday which is disgusting and sad. I originally ordered a chia pudding and the strawberries had mold. I asked for a new one and it also had mold, THEN I asked to get something different so I got a banana bread which is about 4 dollars (I didn’t have to pay because it was like an exchange.) the chia pudding is 6.50 and they didn’t give me Any money back. Disappointed but no surprised :(

Never again! Worst Service ever! When you are out of 1 of the 3 ingredients that make a sandwich you tell your customer, don't just hope for the best to make a sale.
I got a major attitude when I brought the sandwich back and asked to be refunded. I got offered a pastry after declining to order another sandwich instead. I opted for a croissant with some butter on the side. I got handed the croissant, some other customers walked in and I was told by the teenager that I had to wait for the butter cause she had to help the new customer first. I just stood there for minutes while this customer was trying to figure out what to order. I finally just left to sit down next door. I was hungry and had had enough!!! After finishing my croissant I went to use the restroom which was beyond disgusting. So I skipped that routine and went back next door to Ask to speak with the owner/phone number. Response: we are not allowed to give that out. Left my contact info, even send and email to Sara, the owner...

It's been weeks, ZERO RESPONSE.

You talk a cool story on your website, however the reality is the opposite!

Food is mediocre at best. Definitely a case of looks will fool you.
I would give it a big fat zero. Never again. Another business that will not last.
