Ultreya Coffee and Tea

Man, I really wanted to like this place so it saddens me to have to give it three stars. I stumbled upon Ultreya after getting my tires changed around the corner. They had a great array of vegan pastries and I ended up getting one plain croissant and one chocolate croissant along with a chai tea latte. This came out to $15 which I thought was pretty expensive, but considering my favorite vegan pastry shop in Hillcrest charges $5 for a croissant, I figured it would be worth it. Oh, how wrong I was...

So let me be clear, the house-made chai tea was worth every penny as it was likely the best I have had in my life (five stars). But the pastries... oh my gosh they had to have been a day old at least (one star). Probably more like two days. I couldn't eat more than two bites of my chocolate croissant despite how hungry I was.

I always want to support vegan eateries but I felt very ripped off by this place, plus the "boss" was pretty cold and stand offish. The cashier was nice enough though.

In the future, I hope they offer a discount to day-old pastries or they raise their freshness standards.

Love the açaí bowls and the atmosphere. Light and bright. Friendly staff and can’t wait to come back and try the coffee. Good vegan menu!

Excellent customer service, amazing acai and charcoal bowl! Unique and delicious ingredients! This is a really cute spot in an unassuming shopping plaza, but it is nestled in a great area. I am excited for there soon to be opened patio lounge area too.

Great coffee, the breakfast sandwich was delicious. And nice chill atmosphere. Also they have cute merch, its like a one stop shop!

A great neighborhood coffee shop! Please no Starbucks! Support your local merchants! Ultreya is simply awesome! Danielle (hope spelling is correct) is an awesome community resource and advocate. Her staff is excellent as well. Please, If you live nearby, this is YOUR coffee shop. Visit! You will love them immediately. Kids, dogs, familys , business friendly! A real “hub” for all things local . . .and far away. Start your day there . . The rest will fall into place. Viva Ultreya!

First, I will definitely give the coffee, any kind, a 5-star. Location, 5 star, for UCSD, Bethel Seminary and a couple of churches nearby for a Sunday after church drink. We met friends here a couple of times. The inside seating is not as spread out as the environment in the Living Room cafe. So it's relatively quieter. But you can still have a not so loud family meeting, for many students come here with headphones on. The general price of coffee is a little high but not unbearable. Now, the reason for me to not give this place a 5 star is their other drinks, smoothie. 8.50 for a small mason jar of weird taste smoothie is not very reasonable. The reason for me to say so is that we make smoothie regularly at home and it's really not difficult to make from tons of ordinary recipes online, fresh and healthy and under 1 dollar.

Sooo good. My friend got Thai tea and I got mango green tea. The boba pearls were so tasty and the texture was really soft and chewy. It was just really great. I honestly think the pearls were better than the drink. The storefront itself was really cute, really trendy. Great spot for instagram bloggers lol.

Danielle is super nice and great! I'm not a huge coffee person but their fall latte was amazing! Really good food and environment. We'll be back soon!

All the food here is vegan and the vibe is chill. I would recommend they wear hair nets while making the food. I am a red head when I ordered this morning I got a Sour dough avocado toast & there was a blond hair in it 🤦🏽‍♀️

Amazing coffee, smoothies and acia bowls. Pure acai is so much better than the blended you must try it to understand. Great place to study or get an amazing drink. Golden hill latte is delicious!
