The BEST oat matcha lattes in San Diego!!! Unsweetened and the vibrant green color shows the high quality choice of matcha powder this cafe uses!!! The vegan pastries are also delightful! Lana and Ivan provided superior customer service with such warmth and love! Be sure to get a frequent buyer club card! My husband and I will definitely be returning! Such good vibes!

Great matcha latte, holy crap! Stopped in here because of good reviews about their matcha lattes and they didn’t disappoint. Good quality matcha - strong flavor and bright color, blended till smooth. Just what I was looking for on a warm summer day!

A very cute and chill spit with outdoor seating and some indoor AC seating too. They have nice baristas, a good coffee and matcha selection and a big variety of vegan treats (didn’t see any gluten free unfortunately though!) I wasn’t able to connect to their internet and had to use my own and had issues so not great to try to slam through work or have an online meeting. It’s got easy enough street parking during the week, weekends and evenings are more tough in this neighborhood. Close enough to the beach to grab a coffee and walk or hit some other fun Ob spots! I got a punch card and love the loyalty program and plan to be back soon.

Amazing crew of people, great coffee and a wonderful place to work on some computer stuff or read a book on the patio. Thanks Lana, Lizzy & Ivon! I earned enough stars on their loyalty program within 4 days to earn this plant. Brought him home to the Central Coast, gave him an upgraded pot and he is thriving. Cannot wait until I visit OB again and get more of this awesome coffee.

The coffee is great here and summer specials are a must try! Sometimes there is a line there but not really a problem asit moves fast. Ham and cheese croissant was great. I had the raspberry and pomegranate expresso which was very refreshing. A must try!!

Very cute spot to stop by for a coffee or just hang out. Staff was friendly and helpful and the coffee was good. They also had a variety of vegan sweets that were clearly labeled which was great to see. I did not get a chance to try them but will definitely be back to do so!
