Tim Is Making Great Coffee

Update - the owner of this coffee shop responded to my review to let me know that they have two options, light and dark espresso roast. I am bumping my rating up a star since I appreciate the feedback and advice - this is good customer service.I apparently had the light roast espresso, and I will try the darker one next time since that is likely more to my taste. Original review:The espresso I tried here is the modern, under-roasted tart and sour variety. Not the most extreme I have encountered, but definitely not my speed. YMMV of course, if this sounds like your jam then by all means give it a shot, as it seems like a nice local joint otherwise.

Strange deal here, great reviews, place looked kinda cool when we visited but the wildly mediocre PSL (was like a prison milkshake) and burnt, frankly gross breakfast fried rice helped us start our day on a mighty queer note. Also the owner seemed to have a weird self righteous attitude when we didn't finish the porridge inducing dog food he tried to serve us saying it probably was "too spicy for us". That's rayciss against my proud people... how dare you Tim. It was just shitty food, I know hiring/ maintaining staff is difficult in this horrid blue state we love/hate (please make better choices people) but stop being cheap and hire staff to help you. You gotta compete with the likes of starbucks buddy and being mediocre, pricey & bitchy is not the way to go T.

Tim indeed makes great coffee!A man who left behind the fast paced, mind bending world of high tech engineering decided coffee wasn't good enpugh and had to make his mark. Great drinks, better atmosphere curated by a cool music and anime lover, what else could you ask for?

Tim always makes the perfect chai. Tim is super friendly & makes everything on the spot & fresh. Highly recommend this spot since its right off the 5 freeway. See you again soon Tim

I finally got to try this place out during my short break before going to another client. The atmosphere felt so homey and just all around good vibes. Tim was very friendly and helped me when I was unsure about what milk alternative to get & what type of protein for my breakfast sandwich. I decided to get an iced dirty chai. Just wow! I am amazed and really enjoyed this drink. Tim asked me how sweet I wanted it and I opted for my drink to be medium sweet which was perfect! I also enjoyed the chocolate bits it had in the bottom which paired nicely with the drink. As for the breakfast sandwich, now this is what a breakfast sandwich should be. Tim found out it was my first time at his shop and asked me to try the sandwich at the store before heading out. I can tell you, this is truly the best breakfast sandwich I've had! The bacon, hasbrowns were crispy and the assorted veggies that were included made the sandwich a burst of flavor. I can't wait to come back for the breakfast sandwich and try a new drink.

Tim was friendly but the coffee wasn't great. The shop itself needs some updating too.

The name says it all! He definitely makes amazing coffee. This was a quick stop on our PCH drive and so so worth it. Tim was such a kind soul that has such a great story. It was a small coffee shop but boy, did he have a lot to offer?? We had the lavender vanilla latte and a dirty chai latte. Delicious! He also had so many sandwiches on the menu that everyone was ordering. Since we were short on time, we only had a croissant, which was warmed to perception. We will be back Tim! Thank you for the kindness, yummy coffee and laidback vibes!

I had been wanting to try this coffee shop based on the great reviews for a while. Finally this weekend I got to try some delicious coffee drinks. My favorite was the dirty chai latte half sweet. The owner Tim, is super nice. I loved the little lego table that had everything related to coffee. I think it is super nice that Tim takes care of his customers. The service is super fast. If you find yourself close to San Clemente area, it is for sure worthwhile to give this place a try! *** PS: Super close to the freeway too so you can't have an excuse to not grab a coffee for that fun 4 hours drive of yours from OC to SD on a Saturday morning!

Super friendly owner. Great sandwiches on sourdough bread!Delish!It is right next door to my grandma's Memory Care facility. We will be back!

Great friendly service. Drinks and food were amazing. Tim is a cool guy, it seems that he has a lot of regulars when we went. Super cool vibes. Definitely making the hour trip back to get more
