    This is one of the best little cafes I have ever been to. The lattes are 10/10 and the paninis are so scrumptious. Good quality ingredients and so well made. The patio is beautiful and the perfect spot to relax while you dine. My friend and I went here two days in a row for breakfast because it was so good. I highly recommend everyone goes here but I agree with the other reviewers and hope it doesn’t get too busy and popular.

    Super cute spot! Kinda looked like it was closed so I had to Google it to make sure they were open. So glad I left the coffee shop across the street to come here! Food, coffee, and very cute hidden back spot to sit down.

    I’ve lived on the block for several years before walking in here and man did I miss out. The paninis are fire, the banana bread is home made and the coffee is great too. The service is fast and friendly, if you’re in a time crunch, call in your to go order and they will have it ready. If you were thinking about it, just go and try it.

    Super quaint breakfast spot with a patio area. The iced coffee and paninis were wonderful, as well as the service!

    Probably my 2nd or 3rd visit ever - been craving it and was washing clothes down the street. If the delicious smell of all the food doesn’t lure you in, you’re missing out. Such a simple menu, yet food is packed with flavor! Got the turkey chipotle and Mexican mocha. Great folks and atmosphere and adequate wait for the food. Love that they have space for local artists to showcase their work and a section for business cards. What a great way to build community while bringing rich flavors to the neighborhood.

    1st pic -Turkey Pesto sandwich. 2nd -The Pig both are AMAZING! The staff are very friendly! Food cooked in a reasonable amount of time to make sure you get a great quality sandwich. The place has a very welcoming and chill atmosphere. When I walked in the guy immediately provided a hello even while he was working on a sandwich 😍 So kind 🌞 Will definitely be coming back. Both my hubby and I really enjoyed the food. And it was also stuffing! Grab some chips to eat with eat. Did that for the 2nd half and it was amazing as well! 😁

    This place is tucked away, hidden to normies but a great place to sit and eat delicious Paninis. There is a colorful outside sitting area in back. The food really is great. I had the Chipotle Turkey. Super messy, but worth it. The Pesto Turkey is also really good. They offered Gluten Free bread which is a bonus. Stop on by, they have great coffee too.

    Welcoming, friendly service. The cold brew was a refreshing morning treat and we really liked that they had a gluten free sourdough option for the panini. Can’t go wrong for breakfast here! Loved the outdoor seating too!

    I always get their Mexican Mocha and the Pig sandwich. The staff is always friendly and the backyard is very relaxing to enjoy your food.

    The breakfast panini is my go to here and it is delicious. Although for eggs, cheese and bread thrown in a panini press it does take quite a while for the sandwiches to come out. At one point it took so long I thought they'd forgotten about my order. The coffee is okay, in my personal opinion there are better local spots for coffee on adams. However, the atmosphere in the back is unbeatable (if you can find a spot to sit). The patio is dog friendly which I appreciate and the employees are very friendly! Unfortunately the only time I'm able to visit this spot is on Saturdays, when they tend to be the busiest due to their hours. If you work an 8-5 during the week Saturday is really your only chance. The sandwiches don't come out fast enough to pick up before work and by the time you're off work this little spot is closed. I wish they were open on Sundays!

    Great lit spot! Great Gluten Free bread! Everything tastes super fresh! Fast and great service, dog friendly, relaxing patio on the back, love this place.

    Fun cafe in Normal Heights with a simple menu. They don’t have a huge selection but from the items we tried it was delicious. Has the breakfast panini with Turkey and a Mexican Mocha. The panini was really delicious, crispy, saucy, and just the right amount of heft to it. The coffee mochawas pretty standard but good. Also had a Mexican chocolate coffee cake which I’ve never had, simply delicious. Would definitely recommend. Parking can get tough. Lots of locals though so it’s all good

    I had the breaksfast sandwich...oh god it was so tasty.... And the bread was really crunchy. Loved it. For sure coming back.

    Really nice courtyard and staff. Do wish they had some breakfast options aside from expensive $12+ paninis. I'm sure they could do some sort of egg, ham and cheese and arugula biscuit for $7. Like a biscuit and coffee deal for $10. They're are going for a Mexican place despite the name. Was hoping to see some chilaquiles or breakfast tacos on the menu.

    This is the best coffee shop in Normal Heights, easily. The people who run the place are super cool and nice. There's a bunch of seating outside. They make the best latte in town and I love their turkey chipotle sandwhich, acai bowls, and muffins!

  • 5/5 Patrick H. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing flavors, atmosphere and good neighborhood conversation. Their breakfast Panini is a favorite of my wife and my start to a day !

  • 5/5 Joan V. 1 year ago on Google
    Cute little cafe with a very very nice outdoor seating area that offers shade and a cooling breeze. Ordered the chai with oatmilk (a little milky but still yummy) and the banana bread (decent). Sustainability: disposable cups, in 16 or 24 oz if you wanted to bring your own mug to reduce plastic waste. Plastic utensils and disposable napkins. (they're really small though so it's not like I can expect them to have dishwashing services.) Due to the fact that it is smaller be prepared to wait a little while for your food if you order several items, however the sitting area outside is very nice so the wait will be a pleasant one.

    Easily the best breakfast sandwich shop I've ever been too. It's been hard to find good food in San Diego, so I was really lucky to discover this spot.

    The food was awesome and the coffee drinks were amazing! The staff was also super friendly! I highly recommend!

    Great little panini spot. The sandwiches are amazing. Bread is crispy yet soft and not oily like many other places. The ingredients taste fresh and are delicious. Highly recommend this place.
