"Great coffee shop! You can study, work, or meet up for a work arrangement or project with no problem. The atmosphere is calm and comfortable, perfect for calls or relaxed conversations. The coffee is delicious, the milkshakes are great, and both the food and service are excellent. I truly recommend this place."

"This place surely did surprise me when I ordered. I wasn't expecting great coffee in a place like this as it's enclosed by offices and medical facilities, but I really enjoyed my coffee here. Now it wasn't anything special but it was still a solid latte that I ordered. The milk was steamed nicely and the espresso wasn't harsh or difficult to enjoy. I also appreciated the presentation of the drink and that they provided in house cups.There's also plenty of tables to do work and the place doesn't seemed to get too hectic so it's a great place to study at!"

"Best coffee I’ve had in San Diego, by far. Also the cheapest! $6 for an iced oat milk vanilla latte. Really high quality ingredients!"

"The cutest family-owned cafe!! I just discovered this cafe last week and I’ve been craving a latte from here since. The pastries are so good too! The baristas were so sweet & friendly. This would be a great study or remote work spot. Most places in La Jolla you have to pay for parking, but the first 30min in this lot are free which is great! 10/10 will definitely be a returning customer."

"Such a hidden gem! Hands down the best cappuccino I’ve had, perfectly balanced and incredibly smooth. Prices are super reasonable, and the space is bright, open, and filled with great natural light. Tons of seating options make it an ideal spot for working or lingering. It’s a little tucked away, but so worth finding. I’ll definitely be back."
