I go 5x a week. The coffee is phenomenal. The owner & staff are very kind. The owner being a former charger knows how to treat people with kindness & that's what always wins.

I love trying new coffee shops and happen to be in the area, so I decided to try it out. Ordered two different drinks from their April menu. The first one was the Rise and Shine with Oat milk, overall a good drink. Great level of sweetness and good taste. The second drink was The Legend. Unfortunately, this drink was a fail. They were out of the chaga foam but substituted for mexican mocha foam (a recommendation from the barista). The drink came out, and there was no foam, I asked the barista about the foam, and she stated that since the lid would not close, she mixed in the foam. The purpose of ordering the foam is to have the foam sit on top, not for it to be mixed in. I also expected a little more taste, but that also didn't happen. The drink was very bland for $7. I hope they get better lids for future drinks.

Lovely place, with a great service. I've got their ice coffee and an avocado sandwich. More than happy! Highly recommended

Looked at coffee places before and saw this one, so my husband and I decided to pop in and grab some drinks. We were greeted with smiles by the two ladies that worked there and shown the specials that they had for St. Patricks day! My husband got the Irish whiskey coffee and I got the Tiramisu mocha with almond milk! Had a nice talk with the girls and the service was just awesome! Very clean facility, very relaxing and just had that welcoming atmosphere and attitude! Thank you girls for making our first visit a pleasant one!

I have been to this coffee shop several times years ago. It was nice when it first opened but the service has always been cold and slightly unwelcoming. I came recently and ordered a croissant and coffee. The pastry was stiff, as if it was a day or so old. The coffee was fine. Service was as bland as unwelcoming as before. What I did find upsetting was, while watching the coffee being made, one of the baristas picked up each cup with her fingers inside of it. I didn’t not see her wash her hands before making the coffee. Also, the bathroom is in need of a scrubbing. The faucets had rings of mildew around them as well as the toilet. I couldn’t see the floor as the room is painted black.I realize this is locally owned and I like supporting small businesses, however, cleanliness and basic hygiene should be addressed soon.

Amazingly flavored coffees with creative twists, and awesome customer service - I've never tried Americanos with such interesting tastes before! Looking forward to my next visit!

Took time out of my lunch break to drive over and they were closed despite their hours being different online. Please change those online, it makes a difference. Thank you

Pros: The staff were very nice and welcoming. The inside of the store was very cute and cozy. Had lots of non-dairy and vegan options. Cons: The staff didn't know which of their pastries was vegan/non dairy. The matcha latte was flavorless. I did order an almond milk latte but was given an oat milk latte (they called out our drinks and stated it was oat milk). Overall I wouldn't personally go there again, but it may be someone else's cup of tea.

It's an okay place. The coffee was decent, but not great. The brunch food was okay as well. Nothing exceptional. Really good service though.

I’ve been to every coffee shop in Poway. This one is now my top two.Plenty of parking and has seating inside and outside.There are monthly specials. I got the Oatmeal Cookie Latte. Had the right amount of sweetness and creaminess from the oat milk.
