They opened their doors two months ago. They are open at 5:30A! That is important if 1) you work and 2) you want to beat the heat. There are only a few other places nearby with those hours.
They are close to the Coronado Neighborhood and have a long drive-thru area (meaning you will not be stuck out in the street to be in line). They take phone-in orders. There is parking behind the building and on the street.
They are user friendly, meaning if they don't know how to make what you order they will look it up and try. I ordered my standard, a Cortado. It was a good try, for my barrista's first time. He offered and served it with sparkling water (and an improvised cup).
I also got a cold brew to go--tasty, they serve it up with crushed ice. For 'outsiders' who don't understand the importance of a cold brew (I can't believe the term Toddy has been legally trademarked) this is the desert and we have been under excessive heat warnings all week. (Iced coffee is refreshing and satisfying.)
They have breakfast sandwiches, I ordered a Swiss Piggy, and enjoyed it. There was a generous amount of thinly sliced juicy ham and melted Swiss cheese.
Bottom line: service, attitude, ambiance and cleanliness gets five stars. (Especially nice is that ownership/management is present.)
