The King's Craft Coffee Co. — Restaurant in Poway

Used to enjoy coming there. The guy with the baseball cap usually serves me when I come in early in the morning and he is super sweet, efficient, makes awesome coffee and always makes sure the place is neat and clean! Huge thanks to you man, you really made me want to come back! (He deserves a raise for working so hard!) They even offer vegan pastries and milk alternative!

However, the two employees that worked there when I was here on Wednesday weren’t so welcoming when I came in early in the morning, no eye contact and no good morning or good bye after I said something. She even gave me the wrong size coffee but I didn’t mentioned anything as I though she might have misunderstood me while ordering. (The cappuccino was tasteless almost just water down coffee with some foamy water on top… I am actually glad she served me the small size…)

The really down part of this place is that the girls plays country music SO LOUD that it felt like I was at a live concert, and they sings and chat over their summer vacation even when there are tons of costumers walking in. (I should have recorded the sound because the day before the music was there too but the guy never increased the volume which was nice!).

It may not bother some people that may enjoy loud music in small places but its not my ideal coffee experience to yell to my friend just to be heard over the music at 8:00am…

Was super convenient to me because they open at 7:00am, but if the attitude is link to the early opening hours then I will just try to find a more welcoming and peaceful place that wouldn’t give me a headache or sore throat when...

I was looking forward to trying this cafe as the reviews looked very promising. I’m an avid coffee drinker always looking to see what SD has to offer. I decided to order a cortado, upon receiving my drink I was quite disappointed in the appearance of the drink. Typically with a cafe with expensive equipment such as this one I expect at least some level of skill to reflect at the very least the ratings and reviews this place has. But I decided to not let this ruin my initial impressions of this place! Upon trying my drink, I wasn’t satisfied with the espresso at all! The taste was very flat, and just acidic. No bitterness, nor any slight sweetness from either from the espresso or the steamed milk. There was no body to the drink whatsoever, so I was pretty bummed out. It tasted like a shot that was pulled too fast… I was also looking forward to potentially buying some roasted beans, but none of them have their roast dates, so I didn’t feel confident that I would get quality beans. I don’t think I would return to an establishment like this, which is a shame as the ambiance is nice. If anyone frequents this place, please let me know when is the best time to order drinks. It’s such a shame that a promising place could be a disappointment. Luckily the drink was only $3, so I won't act like I got scammed. If you like affordable coffee then you should definitely check...

First walking in, the vibe was super adorable and there was plenty of seating. Ordered a latte which was pretty good and the turkey swiss Sandwich, which came with a bag of chips! After sitting down, we noticed it was a little dirty, as there were a bunch flies around us and we also had to wipe the table down because there was some leftover food. The food and drinks came out pretty fast but sadly after eating a few bites of my sandwich I noticed some bugs in the lettuce and ended up throwing away the lettuce and ate the rest of the sandwich. There was also some really loud country music playing, which made it hard to focus even with noise-cancelling headphones on. But this was only for the first hour and a half so after that the ambience became a lot nicer. This may have been an off-day as this was our first time and besides the pests it was still a...
