Ann Parparita: Lattes are amazing, music is fun, kid and dog friendly (lots of space)
Ti Wu: It's another serious coffee roaster in San Diego! Great coffee choices including single origin pour-over, cold brew, and espresso with various flavors. Cool and cozy place, operated by nice staffs.
Brian Strauss: Excellent coffee. The iced beverages and the Mexican chocolate mocha were tops. Good espresso too but I like to drink my espresso out of an espresso cup — my one knock against them.
Megan: The vanilla bean latte is so smooth and flavorful!
Sebastian Roberts: Single origin pour overs street the main reason I come here. Chuck has a palate made for nuanced light and medium roasts. The cappuccino is excellent as well.
Kevin Pratt: Monkey Bite, a blend of El Salvador, Guatemala and Ethiopia beans, is an espresso roast and the summer cold brew. There is a smoke edge to the body and up notes of plum and hazelnut.

Perriann Hodges: OMFG! What cocktails did for liquor, Holsem is doing to coffee! These cold brew concoctions are amazing! Must try the Nutella cold brew, L'Orange cappuccino, and the lavender mocha!
Colleen Alarcon: The Espresso Shake is AMAZING! Great people, friendly service.
Kelsey Jenkins: Delicious dessert drinks. The espresso shake and the banana bread are amazing amongst many others!
