"I was looking for a good coffee to grab not too far from where my car was having an oil change in Balboa. Came across this and tried it out. Calm and pleasant cafe/deli run by a nice couple. Cappuccino was great— right balance of espresso (they use Aperture Coffee) and frothy milk. Didn’t need sugar. Wife got a Chai Tea Latte with Oat milk. Also tried their Sunrise Sandwich with bacon and Avocado Toast. Both yummy sandwiches. Fair pricing— $26.60 for everything. They have a few seats indoors and a couple tables on their front patio. Nice ‘oasis’ in an industrial/office park area. Will be back to try their other coffees and sandwiches. Note: hours are M-F, 7am to 2:30pm."

"Very tiny place. Unfortunately they close really early, in believe at 2:00pm. I ordered an iced vanilla latte. The coffee was pretty good a bit sweet for me but still really tasty. They also sell sandwiches, which I will try in the near future."

"The Americano was great (good beans, better taste than a lot of places). No vegan food options. Would like to see some non-animal options. I tried asking if the hashbrowns were safe. There was some language barrier and wasn’t able to confirm or deny. Plenty of seating inside and outside."

"I have meet the place a bit late during my time in Kearny Mesa, their Santa Fe Sandwich is my favorite and the latte is always at the right temperature and very balanced. Never disappoints , me and my team have been eating here 3 times a week at least. The couple running the place is doing everything very precise and clean."

"This could be the best breakfast sandwich in SD. I got bacon, egg, cheese and avocado on plain bagel. It was phenomenal, super fresh bagel and delicious ingredients, yum!!"

"Iced Caramel Latte & Southwestern Chicken The latte was tasty, with good espresso and a bit on the sweeter side. The southwestern was simple, I prefer a crustier bread but solid taste. Sandwiches come with a free drip coffee, which was smooth and tasty. Cute and quiet atmosphere. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. There was an older Korean couple running the shop, and they were very nice."
