I am pleased to have tried this place two times and found that the Barcelona and also the Smoky Jo are both very good. Both visits I have realized that their drinks are not overwhelmingly sweet, and I would like to try other items on the menu to see if the same holds true for other drinks as well.There aren't a ton of great options for coffee in this area, so I often overlook this part of town and drive farther to get something I will be pleased with (despite presence of: Better Buzz, Starbucks, and S3) I can say that Cuppa Cuppa has given me good reason to look no further for coffee.

What can I say, I'm blessed to live within walking distance of this shop. It's like stepping back in time, the customer service is amazing, they remember your drink, they remember your name. Coffee is roasted their in-house. The seasonal drinks are the best. Indoor and outdoor seating. Super pet friendly, even treats on the counter for your pups. They support local businesses by selling food from a local bakery. And they are locally, women, & owned. Definitely one of the best coffee shops in SD

Finally stopped by the other morning to try their coffee. I didn't feel like anything too sweet so I had the iced latte and it was perfect. They have a pretty simple menu which I appreciated. The music playlist was definitely my kind of vibe so that alone would make me return.

This spot is at the corner of a luxury apartment building, and fair warning, you probably will not find any "legal" parking around this area unless you park at the bank next door lol If you live at the apartment building it is attached to, then you are in luck! Just walk down and grab a cup of coffee! They roast their own beans, which you can visibly see behind the counter. The shop is not that big, so it might get cramped in there. It's not really a place where you can stay and work. More of a grab-and-go type of place.Regardless, their coffee is good and smooth, however, it can be a bit too robust for some.

Cuppa Cuppa Coffee Lab offers good coffee & quick service. Pastries/food items are also available.There is indoor and outdoor seating. The only issue customers may have is finding parking. If it is an issue, there is another location down the street with a drive through!My go to order is a medium 'Iced Barcelona latte' with an extra shot ($6.25). It contains Crème Brûlée + Madagascar Cinnamon. The drink is on the sweeter side. I recommend adding a shot or two or have it 1/2 sweetened to find the right balance!Another combination I enjoy ordering is half Smokey Joe/Barcelona latte! It's sweet, yet offers a smokey taste in you mouth!

I have long been a fan of the Cuppa Cuppa drive thru outlet on Mission Gorge Road. In fact, I have always wished this outstanding outlet had a place like this but it came after I left San Diego a few years ago. Well, now I must thank Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf for taking White and Dark chocolate latte offerings off their menu - my two absolute favorite latte beverages. It left me with nothing I wanted to buy there anymore, so one day when I told the baristas at the Cuppa drive thru about it, they informed me about the Cuppa Lab - and now the rest is history! I will say that I have only received outstanding service and coffee/latte offerings from Cuppa Cuppa. I have written two other reviews on the drive thru- both five stars and this one is no different! I met the terrific owner, Cynthia, here on my visit and we had some great conversation about these sites and the different things this outlet has to make it more attractive than the drive thru. I am especially happy to hear that this shop doesn't hold back on creativity! And I can't wait to pick up that "not-on-the-menu" Mexican mocha soon! On this visit, I had spring the season offering, white macadamia nut latte - awesome! What is special in the white chocolate lattes at Cuppa is that they use Ghirardelli white chocolate powder - it's got it's own unique flavor and it's FAR better than syrups! I have full confidence that anyone who visits either Cuppa Cuppa location will be 100 percent satisfied with their beverage and most likely return as well. I actually stayed here on my visit for about two hours - chatting, journaling, texting, etc. The shop appears not overly decorated or fancy in decor - that's ok! Because the magic here lies in the beverages they serve! Baristas (and the owner) are outstanding in service, courtesy, and getting the orders right. It was so excellent here as far as the details go that even the restroom was one of the cleanest and presentable ones I've ever seen in a business in all my Yelping days! OK! I've said enough! Now it's your turn to visit Cuppa Cuppa and let us know what you think! I have a feeling I know what that will be! Recommend: HIGHEST

This is always a highlight when I visit my friend that lives just around the corner! They had a super fun and tasty menu for St. Patrick's Day and I think I got to try them all! The service is so friendly and of course the dogs love to visit for a treat!

Great local coffee spot that is a beautiful and serene space for a drink and snack. Delicious in-house roasted brews and fresh pastries can be found here. Cynthia and Emma are sweet hosts and the pride of ownership they have for this neighborhood favorite keeps me coming back. ❤️?

Earn My Stars1. Location2. Design3. Service4. quality Food5. quality DrinksThis place gets stars for # 1,2,3,5 (4 I never eat here). The hype is real about this place. They got the best coffee in town. How could you not when you are roasting your own beans to perfection. Every time I come here I make sure I pick up a bag of fresh roasted beans and grab a cappuccino or latte. Truly amazing place to have a perfect coffee. 1 star = bad2 stars = not good enough to come back3 stars = I'll come here if my company wants to 4 stars = I'll be there5 stars = this place is home
Some of the best coffee I’ve ever had. Love the organic stuff and the dog centered theme. Good people
