Walked by this spot many times but there was always a long line waiting to get in so I would skip it. On this day there was no line so I took advantage and tried them out. Ordered the OTP which is their cold brew, cinnamon and oat milk. It was so delicious I’m craving another one now as I write this. Service was super friendly and the drink was made quickly. Inside is bright and cheery with fun decorations as well as shirts and T-shirts for sale. I will definitely be going back although I will order online for pickup to avoid weekend lines.
5 stars for the bagel sandwiches!!! I got the Lox and my friends got the San Dieggo and both were great. I’m very happy we stopped for food here. I was tempted to give 4 stars but those sandwiches are absolutely wonderful. I got a cappuccino and it was alright. The indoor space is a bit small so you either sit at a table for 2 or on a barstool. There is an up charge for alternative milk and there is no bathroom.
I had to come back here again for the avocado bagel before I leave San Diego! It's the best avocado bagel I've tried 🥑 The perfect balance of flavors. Also Chai Latte with Almond milk - everything was PERFECT!
I tried 3 coffee shops in the area and this place was by far the BEST! LOVED their La Vida Mocha. Probably the best mocha I've had in recent memory. It had a wonderful richness and bold flavor profile, but wasn't overly sweet. Sadly, their Blondie mocha missed the mark. We ordered 2 roll your own bagels and was very impressed with the huge selection of options. I got the sundried tomato and cheese bagel with: -garlic butter -shallot & chive cream cheese -egg whites -avocado *My only negative is the bagel didn't taste fresh and was a bit dry and crumbly. I highly recommend ordering online so you can see all the options available for the bagel sandwiches, plus they do a great job of having your order ready at the exact pickup time.
The Lox bagel sandwich tasted great. The bagel itself didn't compare to some of the best NY bagels, which I acknowledge IS a very high bar, but it was still very good, and the sandwich was packed with ingredients. I only had the chagachino (which is hard to go wrong) for my drink, so I do not have enough data to evaluate their coffee or classic espresso drinks. As far as the chagachino goes, it was a delight. I could actually taste the chaga, which I don't find to be the case at most other places that serve chagachinos. On service and ambience, if you're looking for a place to have a quiet and relaxing breakfast, or if you're a stickler about sipping your hot drinks out of a mug, I'd recommend other cafés nearby (there are tons that serve breakfast in the area). The chairs are not for sitting for longer than 30 minutes. Also, they asked if I were getting my food and drink for here or to go, so I said for here and asked my drink to be served in a mug but they were only using to-go cups at the time. Also, I received my bagel sandwich in a sandwich bag instead of on a (paper) plate like everyone else who was eating there. I wondered why they would ask if I'm eating there if it wouldn't change the way they would serve my food.
