Great little coffee shop located on a residential building in Mission Hills. Seating indoors and outside in a very cute courtyard. Great coffee selections and a small, tasty menu. Staff was courteous and friendly.

In a sun-drenched corner of San Diego, this airy café feels like a love letter to coastal living – imagine if Miami's Art Deco sensibility had a mindful millennial makeover. The space seamlessly marries lush botanicals with clean lines, creating an atmosphere that begs you to linger, especially on their show-stopping patio where Southern California's perpetual sunshine acts as nature's mood lighting. But let's talk about the real stars here: the drinks. Their matcha latte is a nostalgic fever dream – imagine if your favorite childhood cereal milk got a PhD in sophistication. Each sip is a masterclass in balance, with grassy notes dancing perfectly with creamy sweetness. The cortado? It's the coffee equivalent of finding a secret room in a house you've lived in for years – a revelation that makes you question how you've lived without it. The espresso cuts through the silky microfoam with the kind of precision that makes you want to slow-clap. Their broader coffee program straddles the line between third-wave sophistication and accessible comfort, offering both meticulously crafted standards and contemporary riffs, with a thoughtful selection of plant-based alternatives that don't feel like an afterthought. The pastry case reads like a choose-your-own-adventure novel for the modern palate – their pumpkin muffin is a revelation, managing to be both nostalgically familiar and precisely executed. (Though the tea cake, while ambitious, misses the mark.) It's the kind of place that makes you want to become a regular, if only to work your way through their ever-evolving menu while pretending you're on a perpetual coastal vacation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Came here for a singles dating event and I can confirm the other reviews here - a nice airy outdoor space and very interesting drinks menu! My only issue was the amount of ice in my gin & tonic drink…it made the glass difficult to hold (we were standing the whole time) since my hands were getting so cold and I had to keep switching.

The vibe here is so special, especially the outside patio! The matcha lattes are some of the best I've ever had. This staff is super friendly and accommodating. Prices are very reasonable.

Adorable coffee shop with a whimsical, artsy vibe—perfect for studying or relaxing. Their ceremonial grade matcha is incredible (seriously the best I’ve had), and the pastries and food are creative and delicious. The patio is dog-friendly and a dreamy little escape. Can’t recommend it enough!

Super cute and charming. Like being on a movie in Paris. Delicious finger food appetizer options for happy hour and great pastries too. Felt their team is still a bit getting adjusted since we were waiting to order and no one even noticed us. Also coffee was ready but no one was bringing to our table. Other than that we will absolutely be back. Cute outdoor courtyard with heaters.

A wonderful addition to mission hills! The aesthetic is veryyy intentional with lots of seating options (even on a busy Sunday morning). The menu has something for everyone. You order at the counter and they provide you a number and bring your items to your table quickly. Easy street parking. Definitely recommend checking out!
