Caffé Caffé - San Marcos, California

Caffe Caffe is a fantastic spot that truly exceeded my expectations! I had the pleasure of trying their latte macchiato and cortado, both of which were superbly crafted—rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor.

The pastries were the real highlight of my visit. The beef burek was delicious, with a perfect balance of flaky pastry and savory filling. The crème brûlée croissant was hands down the best pastry I’ve ever had—flaky, decadent, and filled with rich custard that was simply divine.

The café itself is beautifully designed, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that’s perfect for enjoying a leisurely coffee or catching up with friends. The service was excellent, with friendly staff who were attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I can’t wait to return to indulge in more of their offerings!

I don’t usually leave reviews, but I was pretty let down by this place. I just wanted to pass by a coffee shop for a drink and snack since I was hungry, and I chose this place since it had 5 stars and looked decent. I got an iced vanilla latte and an everything bagel with cream cheese to-go. The drink came out pretty quick, but I had to remind the lady about my bagel since I thought they forgot about my order. she said they were busy back there which I understand, and she said 5 more minutes to put the cream cheese on. Many more people received their drinks and food before I did. My receipt said I ordered at 1:34pm and a kid finally brought my bagel at 2:00pm… I’m usually a patient and understanding person but 26 minutes for a basic bagel is a little unreasonable. Nice people & atmosphere, and the food/drink was alright. Hopefully this doesn’t happen to others and it was a genuine mistake.

I ordered only Cappuccino for my first time here..
The barista is well experienced!
Cappuccino like in Italy!
I really like it, and you probably know its hard to get good cappuccino here in US.

Nice environment, with good house music!
Just chill and enjoy

This is a cute little cafe! I was in the area as my boyfriend was getting a surgery at the Kaiser hospital and came here for breakfast while I was waiting. I had the omelet with ricotta cheese and honestly the sourdough it is on is bomb. It’s so good! The eggs were also good and the fresh fruit was a nice touch! The matcha latte was just meh. Not much flavour so I probably wouldn’t come here for a latte again but the breakfast was great! The service was also very friendly and the wifi was good!

**UPDATE, I had to change my review from 4 stars to 5 because I just came home and ate the chocolate chip cookies I got this morning and this may be my favourite cookie I’ve had in a long time. It is not super sweet but just sweet enough, soft yet firm and I literally wish I bought ten and I didn’t live 45 min away! Yummmmmm. Pls get a cookie!

Almost gave a 4 star review but the friendliness of the staff and the ambiance of the place outweighed a mediocre cappuccino. I don't care about the artsy look of the foam but the drink came near-room temperature instead of near-scalding hot as is my preference. The kind staff were busy and I didn't want to make a fuss about something so minor. The breakfast croissant was good but overpriced.

Caffe Caffe is the first coffee shop that I experienced, which makes its own chocolate. The manager said she has been making chocolate for about 15 years. Chocolate and coffee are a classic combination that enhanced my coffee experience. Upon entering Caffe Caffe there were half-dozen people working on their laptops. This place welcomes people who want to drink coffee and think 🤔. The decor reveals a green-wall with artificial plants, clearly creative. Also there are two couches that offer more leg room. The room is a bit dark and gray. Gray appears to be the dominant color of the shop. The lighting is cold, energy efficient fluorescent, but the table lights offer warm tones. Yes, I would return to enjoy chocolate and coffee.

This is a really nice coffee place for studying. I am a student and I look for places to study. This place has a big table close to the outlets and I enjoy studying here. I got a Caramel Latte which was really good and at a fair price compared to other coffee places.

Food was super delicious. I ordered the poached egg avocado toast with Spanish latte. What a gr8 choice they both are. The Spanish latte has condensed milk so it made it super tasty. The staff are also very sweet, friendly and approachable. I couldn't brag enough, I'm glad I came here to study. Ambiance is very cozy and laid back. Perfect little place for a chat or study sesh.
