Daniel's Coffee — Restaurant in San Diego

Daniel and Natalie have catered for me and my company 2 years in a row (2022 and 2023). My company hosts meetings within a local hotel for a conference each year and we like to have a private barista operating from 8:30am-5:30pm in our private space.

So many great things to say about Daniel and Natalie. They are overall genuine and kind people. Their customer service is top notch. They are attentive, extremely helpful, and always kind to our guests. Their drinks are amazing - previously, I never was particular or adventurous when it came to coffee, but since utilizing their service, I am a changed woman! They offer a great variety of creative drinks and always ask whether you want regular milk or milk substitute. The coordination with them was seamless - emailed to arrange the date, scheduled time for setup, made payment online. They showed up on time and were quick to setup the portable coffee cart. They used my company-logo-branded stencil to add a branding moment to our clients' drinks.

Overall, very happy with their service. Highly recommend them. Wish they would come...

This small coffee stall right by Balboa Park is a convenient stop if you’re nearby and want something quick without leaving the area. It’s a cute little setup with quick service and good overall vibes — most reviews seem to agree.

I had the regular size 16oz strawberry matcha ($7.75) and coconut matcha ($8). Both were actually quite good! The coconut matcha had a nice texture and wasn’t too sweet, but the matcha foam leaned more toward a creamy/milky taste, which slightly overpowered the matcha flavor. Still enjoyable, just not as matcha-forward as I’d prefer.

The strawberry matcha came with real chunky strawberry jam, which gave it a nice texture. A little sweeter than I’d usually like, but still pretty enjoyable overall.

One downside: no visible menu with prices. For a casual stall with drinks at this price point, I’d personally appreciate knowing the cost before ordering. It would make the experience feel more...

My second time here and they do not disappoint! I will walk the extra steps from the museums to the Spanish Art center to grab a drink from this little cart.

Today was quite busy because they had a glass and art sale going on. But the ladies were quick on orders and delivery! I took a matcha Thai tea frappe and my mom took the iced Mexican mocha. I'd tried the matcha before and LOVED it. Absolutely no difference today. More matcha than sugar, that's how it should be Starbucks!! Well done frappe that's also filling. The iced mocha tasted good after sugar, but I think we'd have enjoyed it more if we'd ordered it as a frappe. At my previous visit, my friend took the pumpkin spice frappe and I liked that too.

Every time I'm in Balboa, I'll be back here to...
