The Mental Bar- Coffee, Tea & Wellness — Restaurant in San Diego

Loved this place 🫶🏼! I can tell a lot of effort and intentionality was involved in the planning and execution. You can feel the sense of community and care the moment you arrive outside.

While parking is along the street they have some spaces that are saved for quick trips in and out and you can easily find places along the curb elsewhere.

I stopped in quickly for a coffee and breakfast sandwich on my way to run errands. I had the breakfast turkey sausage croissant 🥐 sandwich with no cheese and an iced Mexican Mocha with oat milk both were delish and extra special sitting in the swing chair looking out at San Diego. There was even an outlet and way to charge my devices on the little table next to me.

The drinks and food are made with care. The staff are attentive and you can tell the staff actually seem to get along and like one another. That always leads to great service!

I’ll probably be back tomorrow 😊 and definitely have it bookmarked to visit again when I’m in town next month.

☕I’ll be sharing more from this visit on my travel & foodie reels at @flightsandbites8 (TikTok) and...

Super sweet staff and the owners are amazing!!! I have been following their business and I am so excited to support them once again ❤️ I got the brown sugar latte and it was sooo good. I can't wait to try out other flavors and to make it my go to coffee from now on. I love that's its here in the neighborhood, super accessible and being able to support fellow local business owners is a rewarding feeling. The Decor is very cute and the logo is so smart (took me a while to see it but i love it!😉) the outside patio is a very nice area. Headphone in, laptop on, you could get work done easily! I think the tables are super cute with the worn in look and the painted wall is so nice. Everything is really detailed and it shows how much time and effort they spent building this place up. Really excited about this.

Update: still love the place! Especially when it's so close. My favorite drinks are: Dani's Special (Honey Cinnamon Latte), Brown Sugar Latte, and if I wanted something a tad bit sweeter: the Lavander Chai and Caramel Latte. The cheese Danish or the PB cookie is bomb, get...

I have a lot of good things to say about this place. The coffee is really well done and their specialty lattes are unique and well thought out. I loved the coconut paradise and dynamic latte with oat milk. The dynamic latte is made with ginseng which you don't taste at all but actually helps with focus and reducing anxiety. I didn't have any of the jitters I normally do with coffee, even with hardly any breakfast. I didn't know ginseng could do that so I've learned something new from visiting this place! I want to try all of their specialty lattes eventually. I've also had some of their flavored lemonades like the blueberry lavender which was really good. Their decor is very uplifting and lively too. The only thing I wish for is that they had more vegan food options. I think I only saw avocado toast as a vegan option. I would love to see a vegan breakfast sandwich, vegan pastries or bagel with vegan cream cheese...
