The Mudbar

Some of the best service & coffee in downtown San Diego! Super friendly & the owner & her father are a great team! The Vietnamese coffee tastes just like you're back in Vietnam!

I went by Mudbar on a Monday morning- it was easy to find and was not what I expected. It was a simple curbside coffee cart with a little bit of covered and uncovered seating. They were BUSY! But even with the amount of people ordering we still had our drinks in less then 5 minutes! Service was great and they were so friendly to everyone who came to order!I ordered a vanilla cinnamon latte and it was great! The coffee really tasted good, lots of flavor and the latte wasn't too sweet. They do have some pastries to buy if you wanted a little to-go snack! There is a lot of coffee in the area but I would add this one to your list of places to check out if you can!

Started my morning off right at mud bar! It was my first time here and I didn't expect a curbside coffee cart. The service was excellent and the baristas were very friendly. I visited at around 9am on a Tuesday morning and it was already pretty busy.Today I tried a drink special - a large iced Vietnamese with cold cream. This drink is STRONG and espresso foreword. I wish the condensed milk was stirred in a bit more with the espresso but it was still pretty good with the cold cream and touch of cinnamon on top. After waiting only 2 minutes, I got my drink and enjoyed it in the shaded patio. I recommend coming with a friend on a weekday morning and enjoying a walk around Little Italy or the harbor.I'll definitely come again and try another drink and maybe a pastry. I highly recommend!

Excellent fancy coffee on a lovely morning! Kind service, and a quick stop on my way to the train for a meeting. 10/10 would recommend trying this if you're in the area! I saw far too many people with conglomerate coffee. Put the mermaid down and try local. It's better, I promise.

Cute little local popup shop is run by a lovely couple who seems to be loved by the regulars who stop by to chat even if they aren't having a coffee. Even a golden retriever popped his fluffy paws on the counter to wait for a treat as his party took him on his morning stroll. I tried their seasonal raspberry white chocolate mocha today with only a single pump of syrup as I prefer my drinks less sweet. If you've ever tried a raspberry filled chocolate from one of those assorted boxes of chocolates and liked it, you'll love this. I also had this apple cinnamon pull apart pastry. It wasn't too sweet and had just the right amount of cinnamon.

The cafe located near the street, easy to find! Nothing special about the drinks and it wasnt really strong. Was able to change milk option to almond milk. Not busy and plenty of seating around.

This is hands down, the best cup of coffee I've had in the area. No long waits, no hype, just passionately crafted coffee by the owner at a small stand with outdoor and half covered seating. It's just different when the business owner makes your cup of coffee, they pour their hearts and souls into their work. Cappuccino and Vietnamese coffee were on point. Beans roasted perfectly, just the perfect ratio of coffee to milk & foam for the cappuccino which coffee shops with disgruntled or untrained baristas usually get wrong. The price is very, very reasonable even with crazy inflation and high cost in the area. I would pay $2 more per cup here, but glad they're keeping things affordable. I'm a new fan. Cheers

Amazing drink with friendly staff. I got the ice matcha with lavender cold foam, it is very so delicious, my boyfriend got the vanilla latter and it was tasty as well.

If you're looking for great quality coffee and great customer service, this place is a MUST. This place has hands down the best coffee in San Diego.Update: I just want to include a few more pictures :)

the iced situation ($6.75 for a small) was tasty and sweet! the staff were also very friendly and prepared the drink very quickly. this coffee stand is a hidden gem :)
