Coffeentalk Broadway — Restaurant in San Diego

Keep in mind, everything here seems to be prepackaged food, so mitigate expectations for “cooked” food. I ordered a drip coffee and breakfast sandwich, spouse had a sweet waffle and iced drip coffee. Set us back $40, which was a bit of a surprise for a coffee and quick bite.

Eggs on the sandwich are precooked and reheated so they’re rubbery and lacking in flavor. Bread isn’t toasted, so just warmed through, feeling very “blah”. The bacon was the best thing on it, so I just ate that, but it’s thin and microwaved so I’ll let you decide if that’s worth it. Drip coffee is incredibly bitter. I typically have coffee black or with a splash of cream…this needed 2+ stevia packets and a glug of half-n-half to be tolerable.

Spouse’s waffle was okay, again, prepackaged so not fresh (read: soft, and not crispy like a good waffle is). Thawed, previously frozen fruit on top. He said it was fine. He also likes bitter coffee so he didn’t mind the iced drip coffee.

Maybe stick to their fancy pastries and specialty coffees…might be $30 for one person, but it may be less...

For the food and drink The chicken and pesto sandwich was flavorful and filling with the side of chips and jasmine iced tea, which honestly felt more FRESH and REAL!!! I'd Rather pay 19 there than the damn Starbucks across the street. Like no hate and all to the employees at Starbucks, but I'd give local owned ( that is, if it is locally owned ) spots a chance any day of the week then chain spots that are LITRALLY EVERYWHERE!! Like, fr, come up with something more "mom and pop" than 10 Starbucks in the same area code, you guys are literally everywhere! All in all, this place is grate I'm definitely coming back here and getting that Jasmin iced...

I work up the street and have been here before. Seems that the crew working today is either new, or perhaps forced to work here. 🤨none of them seemed to really be “into” it. Three people behind the counter. All of them with a bad, bad attitude. Moving slowly, and as if they would rather be somewhere else. I approached the cashier, said good morning, no answer. Ordered a smoothie and watched how the other two people preparing the food waltzed around the kitchen doing mostly nothing. A customer already sitting there returned his egg sandwich because it was missing the egg. Took them 15 minutes to get me my smoothie, and it wasn’t because...
