★★★★★ 5.0 Liz MRodgz · Jan 2026

Absolutely love this coffee shop! The atmosphere is 10/10 with super cozy seating, making it perfect for working or catching up with friends. Their latte coffee itself is rich and flavorful, best I've had in ages. Their pastry selection is also top-notch, and the service is always fast and welcoming. We had the Avocado Toast and it was delicious! Highly recommend for a study session or a quick, quality caffeine fix. Definitely my new go-to neighborhood cafe! They have big parking lot and accessible parking as well.

What a great find! When I read about this new café in San Marcos and that it was part of the Teri campus nonprofit that supports kids and adults with developmental delays and special needs, I wanted to check it out. It is a huge, beautiful new campus out in the foothills. Everything is new and beautiful. We sat on the outside patio and brought our dog. Gorgeous views. The food was excellent. We came for breakfast and had the gluten-free chilaquiles option and the gluten-free avocado toast, which is the best I’ve ever had! The chai tea and cocoa was also excellent, and they have all kinds of alternative milks which we appreciated. They have organic farming here and use a lot of the produce in the café. This is a wonderful place to come and enjoy a meal. Every Friday and Saturday at 5 PM the

So I went to this place again to give it another try plus I was on tour here with my parents and I got the matcha latte was okay but not as great as I wished it would be. The matcha had a strange vanilla aftertaste which I wasn't a fond of. The drinks and food was okay, but I think it could be better. Although I like the cause, I do think that the food and drink quality could be as good as the cause for this place. Anyway the service was great per usual and it looks cute inside it's just the food and drinks weren't as good as I hoped it to be. I think there should be new suppliers for this cafe so they could get food quality matcha etc. Anyway I did go there because my parents and I were looking at the jobs their for me and so on. Just to clarify I'm only being honest and I am not trying t

I feel like I'm supporting the cause of this place by coming here. This is a great place. The staff at the cafe are very friendly. I enjoyed my breakfast today.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jonathan Ayers · May 2024

Very good! We had the egg & bacon breakfast burrito, and it was the perfect amount of food. We also had Avocado Toast and it was "delicious!" Would order again and will probably be back before our trip is up. We had Soy Latte and a Caramel Latte, and both were good. Not bitter. Not overly flavored. Great way to start the morning. Nice little place!
