The Forum Coffee House — Restaurant in San Diego

This is probably one of my favorite coffee shops in San Diego! Where do I begin...well first let me say I have a very up and down relationship with coffee (body doesn't always react well to it 😞) but I LOVE COFFEE! And my absolute favorite coffee drink of all time happens to be sold here, The BB Code 👑. It's cold brew coffee with their house made banana milk 🤤. Now I can't always have it because it's cold brew and I get kind of jittery with too much caffeine 😆 but it is amazing! I get mine with chocolate sauce on the inside of the cup. I also like matcha and their orange creamsicle matcha is probably the best matcha drink I've ever had (unfortunately it's a seasonal drink) but hopefully they bring it back 🙏. They also bake all their pastries in house lots of unique flavors but everything I've ever tried has been great! Plus they always have a few gluten free/vegan options daily which my son loves (he's on a strict diet). And lastly the staff is super friendly, they always make you feel welcome. I love this place and always look forward to my...

I used to love this place. However, after learning that the plastic lining in hot beverage to-go cups leaches micro plastics into the drinks, I have been exclusively drinking hot beverages in for-here glass and ceramic cups. I was so disappointed to learn that they don't have any ceramic or glass cups!

Not only is this incredibly unhealthy and can lead to a number of health problems, but it's also wasteful. For a coffee shop that caters to remote workers and students who hang out there for hours, it really doesn't make sense that they only have to-go cups.

The other issue is that their online photos include ceramic and glass cups. It's hard to tell if they just stopped using them or if they're exclusively stock photography. Either way, it's totally misleading. That's not the experience they're offering.

The food and overall drink quality is great though and I'm a huge fan of their house made vegan chocolate hazelnut buns! Unfortunately, though, I won't be going there any more for...

12-07-24 Looked up this place to see if it would be a nice cafe to go have coffee and hang out. Once we got to the parking lot, we found a space right away. While placing my orders, we scanned the shop to see if there was a table available for us. At first not a single indoor table to grab, we decided to check outdoor. We sat and waited for our order. While waiting for the server to call my name, I saw an empty table with a huge orange couch right near the cashier. I wasted no time to secure it.

Ordered: -Rule 34 $9.90– sour cream spread on sourdough toast atop with smoked salmon and garnished with slices of fresh cucumber adorned with pickled sweet red onion and baby dill. All the ingredients combined well together. I completely enjoyed my snacks. -The Dreamers $6– refreshing, a slight flavor of cinnamon and loved that the sweetness was just right.

This is a great place to hang out. Finding a table might take a while depending on the...
