Montebello Cafe

Leo was so nice and welcoming! He greeted us as soon as we walked in and made great conversation, which made the experience even better. The coffee was absolutely amazing—rich, smooth, and full of flavor. They have so many delicious options to choose from, it was hard to pick just one! This place has officially become a must-stop every time we visit San Diego. Highly recommend!

If you want excellent quality and customer service come see Leo. From the moment you come in, the aesthetically pleasing coffee shop, and crafted coffee drinks- this is a hidden gem & a must try!Ditch SB and come support this amazing coffee shop. I tried the Caramel macchiato and it was delicious, got my husband the Americano ☕️, great tasting coffee!

First time here !! I can’t believe I work so close to here and I just walked in. Coffees are delicious… the Mazapán iced latte is the best I’ve ever had ! Bagels are delicious and they hook it up with the cream cheese. Very friendly service that makes you feel like you are a regular. Do not pass up on this gem !

I’m honestly in awe of this place and how Leo has seemed to create a community pillar in such an unsuspecting location - just located inside a medical/office building, yet you walk in and immediately feel comfortable. He seems to know everyone - patients, staff, other local business owners all came in while I was doing a bit of work (ironically, reading a textbook chapter about community building and the impacts on health and well being), but more than that he seems to care about everyone and remember small, important things. It really made my day to witness so many small, genuine acts of kindness and human decency by this owner, all while enjoying a great cup of coffee.

Had a great chat with the owner while stopping in randomly after an appointment nearby. This business is doing it for the right reasons. Great connection with the customers and cares about their experience. Highly recommend stopping by
