Great coffee and amazing food Turkey Melt Bagel: The turkey melt comes with melted cheese and this delicious pesto on a bagel. It was a nice savory choice for breakfast Feta 3: The focaccia bread in this is delicious!! And the feta with olive & tapenade made every bite come together. We really enjoyed this one Sweet coffee shop overall to enjoy some delicious breakfast & coffee in Golden Hill

Would come during my morning walks with my dog to grab a jasmine tea latte and a bagel sometimes. My childhood was partly in the northeast so I'm kinda snobby about bagels, these hit the spot.

Stopped by this little gem since it's on my way to work. I was pleasantly surprised with the white chocolate mocha. I am usually hard to please with that one. I had one other the cheese danishes as well and it was fresh, light, crisp and sweet. Since then I have returned 3 more times and I have not been disappointed, the staff is nice and I definitely will be a regular. The menu is very intriguing and I am definitely interested in trying one of the many sandwiches. I've always been there when it's pretty empty but it has a good amount of seating and it feels like a cute local coffee shop, it's very chill.

I ordered the Genmaicha loose leaf tea. Very disappointed. I like that it wasn't bitter, but the flavor itself was... plain and lacking.Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf had a much tastier Genmaicha. (They discontinued it after a new company bought them.)

Super solid local Cafe and coffee shop. Nice online option to order food for pickup. Reliably delicious food for lunch. Closes a bit early for my schedule but is a great addition to the neighborhood!!

They bake their own pastries. The scones are my favorite. Their espresso is dark Italian style, so smooth and rich.
Small, quiet cafe in Golden Hill with a little outdoor seating section surrounding the building. Plenty of indoor seating. Dog friendly.

Spoiler ALERT. Vietnam Coffee is just espresso. It actually has no trace of real Vietnamese Coffee bean, or Condensed milk.

First of all, the service was quite friendly. Lots of positive energy coming from the girl at the counter. Lots of open room and seating. I was here around 7:45am and there were no lines and the place was pretty empty and yet parking was still a challenge. I am a coffee purist, so I ordered a cappuccino with whole milk. They only serve in paper cups, which means you just can't get the true espresso/cappuccino experience. The espresso was mediocre and the coffee foaming was a travesty. Looked like it came out of a vending machine. Here's the thing. If you do not mind paper cups and you just want a sugary coffee drink and some snacks, this may be your place. Seriously. Im not judging that market. And it is obviously the market they are trying to capture here. As baristas go, it cannot compete with many much better places in the immediate area. Blue Bottle, Lofty, Darkhorse, and Achilles, just to name a few....soooo much better for the same price.

I've been wanting to try Influx for years, ever since I was a student at City College. I was always running late, so I never had the chance to stop in. But finally, today I made it! I ordered a Dirty Chai and Oatmeal, and I was not disappointed. The chai was flavorful and oatmeal was perfectly cooked. The dining room is spacious and the music is calm, making it a great place to study or work. I can see why this place is always busy. The only downside is the parking. It can be a bit of a hassle, but it's not the worst I've seen in downtown San Diego. Overall, I had a great experience at Influx and I would definitely recommend it to others. Here are some pros and cons of Influx Coffee House: Pros: * Delicious coffee and food * Spacious and comfortable dining room * Calm and relaxing atmosphere * Perfect for studying or working Cons: * Parking can be a hassle Overall, I would give Influx Coffee House a 4 out of 5 stars. It's a great place to get some work done or enjoy a cup of coffee with friends.
