Great option for lunch, nice place for drinks and a quick bite before a movie. Have yet to try their dinner options, but this is a cool, good looking place, with nice, helpful service. I look forward to eating here again.

After trying out other options and chiropractors for pain relief, I've  finally found someone that I feel comfortable with, but more importantly has provided relief from a series of aches and pains that I've developed the last few years. Prices are reasonable and generally I feel like I can trust him, so yeah, thumbs up from me.

This review is only for the drinks.

I've been here a couple of times and have enjoyed their espressos and macchiatos. They're less intense than what I have at places like Calabria and Zumbar, but still nice shots.

Place has a different vibe than the usual coffee spots around town, less of a baggy shorts and sandals kind of feel, a bit cooler. This would be a perfect spot for after or before catching a movie or dinner in Hillcrest.

As everyone says, this is a good place, but a few tips:

1.- They're at their best with their vegetarian options, however...
2.- Stay away from the salad. Overly dressed and expensive.
3..- Stay away from the chicken. Consistently dry.

Also, there is no bathroom that I can see.

This review is just for the godawful concept.

The first time I saw this Apple store rip-off I had to wonder how difficult it was to come up with something that wasn't such a branding embarrassment. Come on Microsoft, you can do better than this. At least I hope so, seeing as I'm both a PC and a Mac user.

Have only had 3 meals here, but each time the experience has been better and better. Their New Year's prefix was quite good!

On their regular menu the braised pork shank, the burger and duckfat truffle fries and bread pudding were specially good.

Lovely people working here so we look forward to our next visit.

Delicious flat bread. There is a special oven in the back that explains why there isn't another place like this in San Diego. Service is not as fast as you might like if you're thinking fast food, but we got in and out of there under 45 minutes, so no complaints.

I'm so looking forward to trying out their whole menu.

Disappointing. I've had high tea and afternoon tea a few times before and this is by far the most mediocre. None of the items served stood out in any way. We liked one of the teas, found the sandwiches OK (although there was no explanation given as the food was served, a first for me at a tea room) and to my taste they were not that enough savory items while the sweet items were too sweet. For the price it is something I don't plan to do again, at least not here.

I can't believe that other tea room in town, the one in La Mesa, was a better experience. The food was somewhat better over there, the service more attentive and the place itself while over the top cutesy, didn't feel as sad.

I go out of my way to come here, specially in the evenings. How many places in San Diego can you have a glass of wine and relax with a book?

It's an unusual place for San Diego, more for hanging out in a setting a tiny bit more upscale than the regular coffee joints in town. Instead of tired coffehouse sofas, which sometimes sport suspicious looking stains, you have tons of wood chairs and tables, tightly packed in a good sized space. The lighting is warm, there is usually some soft Spanish ballad kind of music playing or maybe some classical. I believe the owner is there a lot of the time, or at least I hope that's the owner hanging out in what looks like the only sofa in the place, hidden behind some furniture, with a clear THIS AREA IS RESERVED feel to it.

They serve wine, coffee and what looks like a wide variety of teas. Have yet to try the teas, but the americanos and regular coffee have been OK,  the chai that everyone loves here is yummy, but for me this feels like a glass of wine sort of place. Maybe is the huge collection of antiques and knick-knacks that inhabit the place.

My expectations were very low and not helped by the horrible artichoke appetizer, but things improved when we got our ribs and roasted chicken. Both were cooked just right, although we were not crazy about the BBQ sauce.

Wait people were friendly, sometimes disorganized, but overall we were happy with the service.

If you like to be surrounded by huge TV screens, with the AC set on high, you might specially like it here. If I ever come back I'm bringing a sweater.
