Really nice little spot and the coffee was great. Not a biggest fan of their current espresso roast, could be on the lighter side. Service is a little tad slow but do take the time to make sure the drinks are prepared properly.

Everything bagel with cream cheese was good, but their breakfast sandwich was amazing.

Excellent Coffee and breakfast, would have been 5 stars if you got the coffee in a porcelain cup

Summary: I had a mediocre flat white and a great large latte (which was the opposite of what I’d expect from a good coffee shop) What happened: I had an odd experience as someone who likes third wave coffee I chose a flat white (8oz) which is usually very coffee focused, shows off the espresso (usually two shots espresso in 8oz cup) My wife likes a large warm drink as we walk so she ordered a large latte (16oz of usually coffee flavoured milk) My flat white was weak, and her 16 oz latte was super delicious *good* strong espresso taste. Remember the flat white is 8oz total and the latte is 16oz, and it was stronger, meaning it probably had more then 2x the shots) all in all I’ll be back but won’t pay 4.25 for a weak flat white. But will buy a large latte hoping it will be the same.

Went around 8am to grab a drink before the day, had music playing and good vibes overall, got The Finest City which was good! Barista was helpful but moving a little slow; a long line formed and some people in our group were unable to get drinks due to it

Decent coffee but bad service here. I waited in line to order but no one acknowledged me or the other customers. The staffs up front can see the line forming, but they never said anything. We all just stood there awkwardly for over 10 minutes until we all decided to leave.

I’m European. They have a professional Italian Cafemaschine and the Capuchino is very good. But it’s bit uncozy. Metall Chairs without Cushions and everything is served in Papercups and Plastic Cutlery despite eating in the Shop. Also the Cafe came in a Papercup. Lots of Room to improve !

This Seattle girl was not impressed. We ordered 2 drinks- "The Aztec" that was supposed to have mexican chocolate, brown sugar and cream and "El Cortez" with cardamom, brown sugar, mint and cream. Was expecting something delicious and special but they both tasted like plain black coffee with a splash of plain creamer. I've had better coffee at Denny's. It wasn't busy but it took over 30 minutes to get my drink. Just a really disappointing experience.

I am here in San Diego for the week and have tried a few coffee spots, but Achilles hits my weak spot (which isn't my heel). This establishment offers a variety of food and drink options. They make their own chocolate in house for their mocha and it's delicious! It is one of the best mocha's I've had. I been getting the large mocha, which has two shots of espresso. Every barista working has been very nice and conversational. I have been three times and been served by three different, wonderful, people. I did not get their names sadly to thank them. If you want a phenomenal coffee to start your day this is the place to go. I do wish they had some local pastries for those who don't want a full fledged breakfast option.

I believe that potatoes definitely have a place in every breakfast burrito. The one I got here was huge, and unfortunately 95% potato. Otherwise, the coffee is good.

THE best coffee in and around San Diego! The breakfast options are fantastic as well! Chad and his team are great people and cultivate a fun and inviting vibe.
