In a nutshell; Excellent service even when they're busy, ok food, good drinks and a chill place to just unwind at any time.
Busy comic-con weekend and despite that, wasn't any trouble getting our orders, line went by quickly, eventually seats freed up, and they have a number of indoor and outdoor seats for customers. The burrito I ordered wasn't the best. It was rather salty and lots of oil was dripping from the burrito and wasn't that good to really finish in one sitting. The service was great though.

Such a welcoming little coffeeshop and cafe with great vegan breakfast options. The staff were super friendly, the food was hearty, and the pastries were on par. Really impressed that they had such good food for a coffeeshop.
Chill atmosphere with plenty of seating and fast WiFi. My only wish is that they would offer soy milk as an option for drinks, especially with how many vegan options they offer.

One of the best coffee shops in downtown San Diego. Awesome spot next to Petco park with great coffee.
Yes, they might not have the best pastries and their croissants are more like wannabe croissants, but they’re good enough to enjoy with an amazing cup of coffee.
[update]: we are going back almost in a regular basis and 90% of the time they get their coffee right, 5 star quality. Since things were working out so well between us, we decided to take our relationship to the next level and order the “Breakfast Burrito 🌯“. But man, some relationships are meant to stay the way they were. It was missing cheese, bacon and hash browns were a bit burnt, and it was missing flavor (maybe it was a healthy version of a burrito? 😄). For now, I won’t change my rating as I rate them for coffee but do yourself a favor and skip the burrito.
You’re good the way you are with just your coffee 🫶🏽

Ahhh. Copa Vida. What's not to love about it?
Maybe I'm biased because I get to live so close to one, but this coffeeshop is superb. There are plenty of varieties of coffee to choose from; from light roast to dark, and everything in between. I love the splendid selection of teas they carry as well. The natural lighting from outside scores points in my book, and although I wish there was a little more seating inside, any seat is worth waiting at for the food!
The food! I did not expect it to be as good as it was. The smoked turkey melt and tomato soup are exquisite and exceptional; words I never thought I would use to describe a soup and sandwich.
And while I look forward to trying other menu items, my favorite thing about Copa Vida are the $2 refills, a feature that implores me to read another chapter of my book while I'm there, and will keep me as a regular from now on.

The venue is great for coffee, we got The Three Kings and the Peruvian filter coffee, which were brewed well and was refreshing for a Monday breakfast.
As far as breakfast goes, it was Self seat and order at the bar, which threw me off, as it felt a little hands off, considering the great breakfast they have.
We got the vegan sausage breakfast burro burrito with avocado and the Chorizo egg Hash, with the Chorizo subbed for vegan sausage. It was a solid breakfast, and the portion size was good. I would recommend, go in and be bold to order!
