    Located at the E Street Trolley Station in Chula Vista, Cool Down Coffee is a wonderfully charming and welcoming spot for meeting friends for coffee and conversation, for breakfast, or for a relaxing cup of coffee any time during your day. Alex and Alex (the owners) are always happy to greet and serve customers with a smile and a kind word! Drop in and check out Cool Down Coffee! l hope to see you there!

    This place is interesting because it’s at a transit center yet the space inside was effectively used to make you forgot you’re at a transit center. There’s enough space to meet a small group. The coffee is all good, but more specialty drinks would be nice.

    A very cute, cozy little coffee shop within seeing distance of the E Street Trolley Station. I loved their cappuccino.

    We were on our way to san Diego n stopped for some cappuccino here, which was really good. We also got their jalapeno bagel with egg cheese was super delicious and they have some amazing chocolate chip cookies! Customer service was excellent!! I'm glad we stopped by here n hopefully will revisit again!!

    Absolutely wonderful! The decor included Bible verses, free tracts, and Bibles. You could tell the place was different from other coffee shops in the area; it was very comfortable and relaxing, an environment where you could come and enjoy some rest from the busy world. A wonderful little hidden gem! The staff was accommodating and kind, the food delicious and crafted with care, they took their time, but it was so worth it. We tried the iced caramel latte, green juice, everything bagel with cream cheese, and Out of Bounds breakfast sandwich; everything was delicious. I’m so glad I choose this place above others in town, and I definitely will be returning.

    My husband and his friends love this place and went there regularly. I decided to try it out this morning for brunch&family meeting. I can see the reasons why people love this place.(I struggled a while for whether to post this, because one of the reasons we like it is its quietness without a big crowd) 1. Coffee and snack meal of food: not much difference from the good ones in Little Italy. In Chula Vista, for now, it doesn't have an equal. Now let's talk about their snack meal! They featured in big size muffins, pretty fluffy coffee cakes and different kinds of bagal sandwiches. We ordered "everything bagal" and shared. Wow, the egg patty tastes so fresh, tender and even, and just the right amount of cheese melted in between the egg and turkey. 2. It's both good for relaxation, reading, writing and group meeting. There are at least three spots suitable for group meeting less than 10 people. 3. Budget control option: one of the pictures below showed a promotion price they have for grab and go. $4.00 for coffee and bagal.... a steal. I think that's also many's choice, since it's located at the transit of buses and trolley. 4. It's clean inside and outside, like the parking area. plenty of parking.

    Delicious coffee. I had the Mayan pour over. Wife had a double shot mocha espresso. Both very good. Not too sweet on the mocha - perfection. Charming vibe. Cool location. Nice crew. Want to try the food next time. Will be back!

    Nondescript coffee shop hidden to all but Google. When I showed, no one was there at 9 am. Decent coffee, nothing to write home about. Service was okay. Unexpectedly nice atmosphere for a place next to a bus and train parking lot. Truth be told, my wait was probably less than it would have been had I gone to Starbucks this morning. So there is that. Five-star.

    I've been taking the trolley at E Street station for years and I regret not visiting this place before. The staff was very friendly, prices were reasonable, and the food and coffee were very tasty. On top of that, the atmosphere was very peaceful, and I loved how comfy their couch was. Great place to make time while waiting for the next trolley/bus.

    Didn't eat there so can't comment on the food. Gentle music, good coffee. Great place to grab a to go coffee, wait for the tram, or a pickup ride.

    A great little coffee shop! Drinks and food are tasty, and the space is warm and welcoming.

    This coffee shop has a comfortable atmosphere with many great spots to sit, relax and enjoy the decorations that ornament the surrounding. The owner and his son are also very friendly and provide excellent service every time. Excellence and friendliness is becoming a rare combination in most coffee shops, I'm glad the staff at Cool Down Coffee still has it 😉 ☕

    A nice little mom&pop shop. They'll let you hang out there for however long and have Wi-Fi available. After flying into town, this was the perfect spot to just decompress and enjoy a coffee for a while. They had some nice sugar-free creamer options which was awesome for a diabetic like yours truly. At the end of the day, it's probably a good thing to support your local shop rather than the big chains. They could use your business and the quality is more personalized, rather than mass-marketed, formulaic blends.
