Wonderful place to hang out and get work done or gather with friends! Hearing the first names of the morning’s regulars highlighted the caring customer customer service of the staff and reminded me of a small town coffee shop. It’s hard to find that kind of service nowadays. Their own expertly roasted coffee had a rich flavor with a smooth finish and was very aromatic. They have a wide variety of coffee blends that is sure to please everyone. The Early Bird burrito was wonderfully made and finished in a panini press, which perfectly grilled the soft tortilla. The food menu had a wide variety of amazing sounding meals that made it hard to decide. Prices were shockingly low for such incredible food and service! The building itself is old and rustic and provides a very cool and cozy atmosphere to enjoy the coffee and morning conversation. They were definitely busy, but the layout gives you plenty of private space, and the wait time was only a few minutes for a full breakfast. There’s also tons of patio seating with awesome gas fire pits to keep you nice and warm.

I went there for a networking meeting for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by the great tasting coffee and breakfast burrito I ordered. They have a nice selection of healthy items and their prices are reasonable. They have a great outdoor patio and the whole place has a nice cozy atmosphere. I noticed a few people working on their laptops using the free WiFi as well.

This is a little hidden gem! Great coffee. Great breakfast. Ambiance can’t be beat! There’s a little fire pit. Feels like you’re in the countryside just off the freeway. Bonus that is woman owned!

Very inviting coffee shop. Great ambience. Kid/ pet friendly. Indoor and out door seating available. There’s a beautiful fire pit outside for enjoyment with your drink. We ordered the iced brown sugar macchiato, iced vanilla latte, banana bread and lemon muffin. The brown sugar macchiato has the brown sugar and espresso shots steamed together… great flavor. Drinks were delicious. Prices average. Pastries were good. They not only coffee and pastries but smoothies and food- breakfast burritos, avocado toast; açaí bowls.

The ambiance of this place is amazing. The large space and outside patio make it a great place to visit with friends, meet with colleagues, work remotely, and more. The coffee drinks were great and I even tried an espresso shot – bold and flavorful! We had breakfast burritos there as well- delicious.

Its a very nice cafe that instantly sends the vibe of a very authentic place to the costumers. I love that it’s locally owned and has a heart and soul. Its a self service place. They offer nice breakfast and lunch options. I would suggest the owners to make a few furniture updates, the whole ambiance seems a bit tired and dusty IMHO

Best place for coffee in North County. Try the new breakfast burritos. The Early Bird and the Ham&Cheese are my favs. 😉
