Really good. My favorite drinks are the Sea Salt Caramel Iced Latte and the Iced Thai Tea. I come here often and can definitely say this place is worth checking out.It can get really busy at times especially if there is a convention at the convention center but the staff is really friendly and welcoming.

I came here for a quick breakfast before our flight. The male with blonde hair was the only person working at the time, and because there were so many people he was visibly stressed. Even so, he was so respectful to everyone he served. An unfortunate incident occurred where a man stole someone else's food... cue a TON of stress from both the customer who got food stolen from, and also the barista. I felt bad for everyone involved. The barista was already at a level 9 stress level before that incident, and then it got even worse. While I understood the frustration from the customers, hey, it wasnt the baristas fault. Crappy situation for everyone except the stupid thief.Anywho, I got a latte and some breakfast croissants and a blueberry muffin. Latte was good - nothing to write home about. Croissants were good! I appreciated that he cut it in half - a small but super appreciated gesture. Luckily by the time I was leaving, two additional baristas came so the guy had (much needed) backup.Over 5 stars for service. However, bathroom was pretty nasty and overall cleanliness of the place wasn't the cleanest, with visible signs of wear and tear over the years.

Stopped by for coffee on our way to the Comic Con. Only tried the iced mocha. It was good. Place looks like a quaint local coffee shop. Very chill and unassuming vibe. However the lady in the register was super lovely. She was very friendly and cheerful to everyone.

Located in the heart of San Diego near the Gaslamp Quarter District, this little coffee shop is chill and relaxing. They have a very cute space, not a lot of seats. I was able to try their homemade blueberry lemonade and it was delicious and refreshing.Service was friendly and since there wasn't anyone else but us at the time, we got to chit chat with the barista. Would recommend trying out their homemade creations.

The service we received here was amazing! It's my first time in SD and the guy who helped me was beyond awesome on explaining all what you guys offer as well as offered me a taste tester of the Vietnamese coffee and man that stuff was awesome! We ended walking out with 4 drinks that were all delicious! Will return very soon!!!
