Kettle & Stone

Such a a great hidden gem. I was on a walk and fell into their beautiful ambiance trap. The space is truly breathtaking, decorated with Persian and Turkish rugs, crystals and zen statues. The staff was extremely friendly and even boasted about how much they loved working there with the owner. The interior has some seating but, I love that they have ample outdoor seating for you to enjoy your food and beverage. I ordered the a toasted baguette with butter and jam and the Turkish latte. They offer traditional plating or to go plate for all food and had about 5-6 types of jam to choose from. I ultimately went with the nectarine jam and HOLY CRAP, that jam will knock your socks off. Definitely a must try! It was so good The Turkish latte was also really well made and topped with pistachios! Would highly recommend popping in and supporting this woman owned small business

This is a gorgeous little boutique and cafe in Mission Hills--I came at 7am on a Friday and there were already a good amount of people here. As other reviewers have mentioned, the food is pricey and the draw is the ambiance and neighborhood feel. I can see it being more crowded during peak hours, so not sure if it would be a great place to work or study. However, they do have a substantial amount of outlets along the wall so you don't need to fight for the best table with an outlet.I didn't try any of their drinks but ordered their ricotta toast. You can pick from a berry or honey jam option--it was good but nothing out of the ordinary. I do wish that they would list the prices on their entire menu, it's available for most of their of their drinks. I don't understand why they don't disclose it so you're not surprised by an $11.50 ordinary toast.Still a lovely neighborhood cafe as there aren't too many in the area.

Though I've been here a few times over the past 5 years, I'm new to the neighborhood, as of 2 months ago, and can finally say this is my neighborhood cafe! The ambiance is charming, quiet and urban simultaneously. The patio is just incredible. The coffee is acceptable; it doesn't live up to the pleasant space. So far I've had lattes, cappuccinos and the coffee, they were all passable, and not expertly crafted. The food is okay; I've had a few meh pastries and a sub par avocado toast.You come here for the cute European neighborhood cafe vibe much more than the coffee or food itself. And being that I'm 3 blocks away, I'm certain I'll be back frequently.

I had a salted caramel latte here and thought it was ok/pretty good! I liked that it wasn't too sweet, but there wasn't anything super special about it. The decor of the cafe is nice but it's a bit woo-woo with lots of crystals and sage. Good service.

This place was just ok. Nothing spectacular or great. The customer service was on point but feel the avocado toast is just plain and spendy compared to most. Same with the ricotta berryThey did make a couple mistakes on our order and they fixed the coffee right away with no problem and although I ordered one of the avocado toasts I got the other one but it was almost the same so I didn't say anything although I know they would have fixed it if I did so the customer service was great.

I ordered the iced dark chocolate mocha and they gave me a Mexican mocha. I got it replaced with the correct drink but it didn't taste like dark chocolate. I thought it was just regular mocha but they don't offer regular mocha so it must have been the dark chocolate. Disappointed with this drink.Then the toasts didn't have any price but we still ordered it to try it out. 2 drinks and 2 toasts cake out to be around $34. Each toast was around $11.25. Mine was ricotta and a drizzle of berry sauce. My bf had avocado toast. Both toasts are decent but it was overpriced. Nothing really special about it which would want me to go back and reorder it. I could have gotten a hearty burrito for less than $11.25.It's actually a quaint place with ample amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Pet friendly. It was very busy on a weekend morning before 9am. Coffee prices are average and everyone else seems to like their coffee - just don't get the overpriced toast.

Kettle & Stone is a really cute café in the Mission Hills neighborhood of San Diego. There's plenty of street parking since it's a less-busy neighborhood and a small number of little shops. Inside, there's a good amount of seating, but I wouldn't say it's the best for studying or working - more of a catch up with a friend type of café. I ordered an oat milk cortado just to try out their coffee and see how it matches up with others in the city. It was very light but bold, and oat milk is always the best substitute in my opinion! It was perfect and got me wanting to try their pretty extensive selection. Overall a great place and an excellent complement to the neighborhood!

Great place in Mission Hills! The interior decorations and ambience are amazing! Cool spot to come drink some coffee and get some work done. I got the salted caramel latte and it was really good. The staff is nice and really friendly, definitely recommended this spot!

I stumbled upon this gem of a coffee shop. I ordered an iced salted caramel latte and it's the perfect blend of rich espresso, velvety milk, and just the right amount of caramel sweetness with a hint of sea salt. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff make it the ideal spot to enjoy a heavenly cup of coffee. I'll definitely be a regular here - this latte is a true masterpiece!

While this place is cute, they don't even have prices on the menu. It's rather rude and presumptuous that people want to pay $11 for a tiny piece of quiche. The girl working there was shocked I asked if there are prices of things on the menu. While I understand you need to allow money, the attitude is ridiculous.
