Wish I could rate higher than 5 stars. Super creative and fun coffee shop.... from their beverages to their atmosphere and decor. Service is outstanding, owner and employees super friendly and helpful.

This was a highly recommended spot when we came to visit family and it was worth it. The staff was very nice. And the coffee was great! I got an iced cookie butter mocha and my wife got it hot, both versions were good. We will be back next time we visit.

First time for me. Didn't have the Chai I wanted to try. Decoration is comfy and was nice to chill in the rainy morning. Food definitely does not suit my palette. Lavender black tea latte they did have was pleasant but won't miss it.

Josh and Kat have designed such a unique atmosphere. One of my favorite places to work remotely hands down! All the employees are kind, courteous and have positive energies. The coffee is creative and the baristas are all talented in making drinks consistently and yummy each time. The toasts and breakfasts are so good too!! Definitely have to stop here if you are visiting or want to find a cute spot for a coffee stop in downtown Vista!

Love it here! Only complaint is they NEED more seating! Add another table and chairs and the 1 star will turn into a 5 star :)Edit: Owner responded promptly and informed us that the fire code for the building limits the number of occupants. Looks like Vista needs to change their ruling here to get a better experience. We changed our rating to reflect that it's not the owner's fault.

We first tried this place a few weeks back and fell in love with the matcha here. We decided to come in for a matcha and were a little disappointed with the lack of effort in mixing the matcha powder. We paid extra for a lavender matcha and a strawberry matcha but all we tasted was oatmilk in both.

My husband and I stopped in today with our 5 year old son who has a severe dairy allergy. The staff did a wonderful job accommodating us and made him a safe drink. Fun and comfortable atmosphere and good drinks! Would definitely stop again.Dietary restrictions: Dairy free options
Coffee was good and the space was clean, but this pace has a locals only vibe and even though we live less than a mile away we didn't feel very welcomed. There are many other coffee spots that provide that extra customer service that I look for but maybe it was an off day.

You need to try their gingerbread matcha latte - it's delicious! Seems to be a seasonal menu item but hoping it sticks around. Great price for the quality here. Indoor seating is limited.

Unfortunately this place failed the coffee test. Ordered two pour overs - took 10 -15 minutes to make them. And when we got them they were luke warm at best. I know the temp of the water is important for pour overs. The inside was decorated cute on a positive noteUpdate : I'm upgrading my stars -the barista responded and and I will try Archers again

Quality of coffee and menu overall is good. They also have a good selection of sweeter drink options for those who don't want drip coffee or espresso forward drinks. Only reason for not giving a 5 star is the wait can be a bit inconvenient and the seating (when I've gone) is scarce indoors (always feels like there are sharks eyeing for people to get up and move). There's a good sized table in the middle of the room but instead of chairs, they're swings. While a nice aesthetic choice, it's not a feasible sitting option for people under 5'8" - my partner and I witnessed 6 different people try to sit on them, only to give up and not sit there because they were sliding out of the swing seats. Waited about 15 minutes for my coffee order and found a non-shaded seat outside, but if you have the time to spare, this place does have good coffee.
