Jo's Cafe

Best coffee in San Marcos. They have a ton of options. Great hospitality. Their french toast has is definitely a favorite.

Best matcha by FAR. 9/10!Not grainy, not bitter, not too weak, not too strong. Smooth and amazing. Only criticism is that I got the cosmo and wanda (strawberry matcha) and I had never had one with strawberry before only lavander. I was not a fan. The combination was off putting to me and clashed (the strawberry was pretty strong) The matcha part was superb though, next time I'm getting just that. The food looks extraordinary!! Big plates of bright, love filled foods. It's a bit pricey for me (a broke college student) but I think it's 100% worth it.The people working there are as sweet and wonderful as the coffee and food! They're always happy to work with you and add a really great atmosphere to the place!**Note** It can get a little crowded inside, it's a little small inside the cafe so you'll likely be sitting outside. Keep this in mind if it's a really hot day.

Nice little breakfast spot. Stopped in Saturday morning, busy but not crazy. Great outdoor seating as well as nice indoor seating. Very good coffee with many choices for enhancements, flavors, creams, etc...Sea Salt Caramel Coffee is excellent. Service is walk up counter and seat yourself style. A little confusion at the counter as they were also receiving a delivery, so I am sure that contributed to my order being input incorrectly. Ordered a 3-egg, ham and sausage burrito and received a chorizo and egg burrito...was swiftly remade correctly and was good. My wife had French toast, also good but a little overcooked. A steady stream of customers, but not overwhelming. Parking can be a challenge, but plenty of on street parking within a couple hundred feet of the restaurant. Appears to be a converted house, and it is on the corner of a quaint little neighborhood. Overall enjoyable.

First time eating at this place. It's very nice and quint. I ordered the pancake plate and it was so yum. Pancakes were pretty big.

We visited Jo's Cafe for the first time recently and were more than pleasantly surprised. We weren't exactly sure what to expect, but it was lovely! Counter ordering/pick up with tons of seating (indoor and outdoor) and great prices. The person at the cash register was really nice considering there was a HUGE line behind us, plus the barista complimented my dress! The setup feels quaint and homey. We sat in the most beautiful little corner with bay windows. The food is super simple, but really good! We each got one of the breakfast plates and left full and happy!

I love everything about this place! Food is delicious and very reasonably priced. For a family of 3 it was about $47. You order in the front and they call out your name once the order is ready. Very friendly staff! Place is so cute. You can sit inside or outside. They have a full covered patio.

Looking for a coffee shop? Look no further! Food: They have a good selection of food and coffee here. Everything is great and the menu is not overwhelming. It's a good spot to come and get what you need then relax. Service: Love the staff here. Always give great recommendations and super nice. Ambience: The location is great. Nice and calm with a home style feel. Great spot to sit and get some work done. I wish they had some better mosquito control and please add outdoor fans but still good outdoor spots. Love this place so much. Great spot to ride my motorcycle to and get a great coffee. Can't recommend this place more!Enjoy

* Inside of Jo's Cafe is quite small, I'd say about the size of a two bed apartment in San Marcos, yet does get the job done. *The barista does yell loud so if you're looking for more of a library style quiet bar, I wouldn't recommend. Also the small size of the place, makes the noises extra loud. You'll be able to hear someone's detailed conversation... Not my vibe but if you like to eavesdrop this is the place! *People are in and out ordering coffee and matcha. The matcha is sweetened already so no need to add vanilla syrup into the mix. A large (20oz) iced matcha comes in a tall Togo cup. *Great spot for reading a book outside on the patio. Sun cover is present. *Free water and plastic cups are available by the entrance door. Water is great to have access to yourself inside of going up to the counter continuously for a refill please.

A small little food/coffee cafe. You'll walk inside and place your order. They have limited seating inside and tables outside for seating as well. They have a few options for food. I got the breakfast burrito. I do like how your able to pick what you want in it from their choices. I believe you can pick up to 4 or 5 breakfasts items. It was a good sized burrito and very filling. They also have a variety of coffee flavors/drinks. I'll be honest when I say that I was expecting a little more of their coffee but it wasn't bad. Its served in little foam cups. Decently priced. You clean up after yourself. You'll throw your trash away and place your dishes in a bin. Nothing fancy. It was a cool spot to try once being that we were coming from SA.

The young lady that served me was amazingly sweet, efficient and helpful! The food and coffee were excellent and sitting outside was wonderful. I'll be back!
