Simple coffee shop, good vibes.
I had a capacino it was really good then next door I got a guava coconut pastry was amazing and the queen Aman was fantastic!
Pros -nice place -ample of seating -coffee is delicious -delicious blueberry muffin Cons -mocha coffee was meh. They used chocolate syrup and you can taste the mediorce syrup. -parking lot is small.
Delicious coffee. Honestly very good and their pastries were also tasty!
Their coffee is sooo good! One of the best coffee shops if not the best in SD. Flat whites and cortados aren’t on the menu but you can ask for them.
We tried iced americano and hot mocha. Friendly service but we were little bit disappointed with their coffee, too watered-down 😔
Some of the best espressos in town. Light roast and the crema on the espressos show the quality of the beans and the brew.
Zumbar has to be one of the best roasters I've ever sampled across the US. We visited 9 different cafe / roastery brands and local chains over the past 7 days. We've been on a self guided espresso tour throughout a road trip across LA and San Diego. Zumbar has to be in our top 3 of that local list. Incredible espresso and professional staff. However, this store front isn't exactly a relaxing or interesting place to hang out. They roast coffee on site, so it was a bit chaotic. We'll definitely order some roasts from here online. However, their store front isn't much of a cafe compared to Mostra, Bird Rock, James Coffee, or Dark Horse.
JAN/2023. We are here again. 2 cappuccinos plus 2 americanos this time. Quality👍, price 👍 —- First time here. Me and my wife ordered 3 Americanos and 1 Macchiato. Don't need to say how good their coffee is ❤️
Their latte is so good
Went past this coffee shop a million times when I were in school but oddly never tried to come in. The smell of coffee beans is overwhelming cause you can see them being roasted in the back. The ice oat milk latte is highly recommended for its creaminess and not sweet at all.
It has limited selection, freshly made coffee was excellent
The coffee is excellent, and so the tea (or, at least, the darjeeling I drink). The few pastries they have are also good.
Best coffee shop in the area, even in the entire San Diego. It's small but the best quality of everything.
My favorite coffee shop in San Diego. All their coffee is great, I just LOVE their lattes. They're made perfectly, the microfoam makes it feel sweet. Seating is limited. Make sure you order in ceramic cup and not paper-to-go, the beauty of drinking good coffee is in savoring every drop slowly and appreciating the presentation too.
I had a pretty poor experience here. When I walked inside to order my tea there was a gentleman working on his laptop at the bar to the left with no other available seating inside as their tables still had not been turned over yet at 830am. After ordering my tea I proceeded to sit outside in the sun as there was none available in the shade. 30 mins had passed by and the gentleman at the inside bar had left, I went inside to sit and cool off and then was told there was no inside seating. Mind blowing, so with that being said customer service 0/0 On google it says coffee and tea. This is a coffee shop please do not let that tea in the name fool you. They have 3 options and the staff couldn’t make a good tea if they tried. The tea was incredibly watered down for an iced tea. This is more just a grab and go coffee spot nothing more. I wouldn’t say it was worth my time or money. If you want a Propper coffee and tea shop I would say go somewhere else. If you’re looking for a quick cup I’m sure this place is fine. There are just a lot better options in my opinion.
The best service. Love their coffee and just an awesome atmosphere
Really cool place. Coffee is made to perfection, old school style which I really liked.
I like the taste of the cappuccino. Well done. Forgot to take a picture, though. I prefer to have latte art on my cappuccino, this one has been mostly white.
I searched “espresso near me” and found this proposal a short drive away from UCSD campus (1 exit off I-5) and it was worthy it. Delicious macchiato, cappuccino. Pretty generous baked good offerings for a small coffee shop. But the rating is for the coffee products only. [Revisit 6/2022, bought some beans]
