Living Room Coffeehouse - College Area - San Diego, California

The portions are very large here, but the quality stays tasty. I was here for my first time the other day and thought it was such a lovely cafe. I can’t wait to go back!

I brought quite an appetite and was grateful to have been warned + there are easily accessible take out containers (not plastic 👏🏼) to doggie bag.

Breakfast food is superb here and what they are truly known for. Thought multiple people suggested the hash brown burrito, I chose to go with the Rancho omelette which was served with hash browns and tasty well toasted sourdough. My coffee was also delicious.

The place is busy and people love to peruse their electronics and/or hang out or work for extended periods of time so we waited a bit to order in addition to finding a seat. It was great to see they are innovating with a seemingly new self service ordering option. Sadly, I did not have room for dessert but that looks like a must for the next visit!

Both the food and drinks here were very flavorful and delicious. The atmosphere is also nice, with lots of wooden furniture and older style decorations, creating a homey vibe. Will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Food was good. Enough for a person drinks are great. Mimosa mango was my favorite. Really recommend.

This is clearly a neighborhood staple. We saw solo customers, friends and groups meeting the weekday morning we went. We had a coffee, London fog, cherry danish and fruit tart. Alll were excellent!

I love this lil cafe!
Their busiest times are probably 11-1 and 5-7 and I think they do amazing since usually it's just two or three of them up front.
I do prefer dining in since the food is freshest that way ✨ you can also see which pastries they have that day since they change the options a wee bit.
The atmosphere is always study ready and they have outlets everywhere, even outside!
Come to and order from this cafe with patience ⭐ the baristas/servers are always moving, there's just always a line to the door.
They're truly the nicest people working here ✨ as someone who works at a cafe I can see how overwhelming it can be yet the employees are always serving with a smile and attentiveness.
I think the world needs more patience these days.

Honestly expected a lot more with how busy this place was at 10:30am on a Friday. I got the whole milk latte no sugar(it was kinda bland the bean didn’t bean 5/10) workman omelette the omelette was really good but the potatoes lack flavor could be a combo of being over fried and the fact of no seasoning lol (7/10 omelette saved the dish). The chocolate scone was ok I’ve had better (5/10). Honestly not a spot I would recommend to a friend.

PERSONAL REFLECTION ✌🏼

My Go To Coffeeshop in San Diego & One of my Favorite Cafes I’ve Ever Been to…

Love & Appreciated this Place so much!

As a Remote Worker, Vegan VanLifer & Dog Dad - This place has been Our Sanctuary 🙏🏼

PERSONAL DESIRES

Wish it wasn’t so close to a Main Street with a lot of Noise & a Loud, Repetitive Crossing Signal (but that’s out of our control)

Also, although there are a few Vegan options, they could be Expanded upon…

I’ve cycled through a few of the same dishes, but have gotten more experimental (combining ingredients to create new dishes) - listed a few below…

FINAL REFLECTIONS 🙌🏼

ALL IN ALL - This place is Gem.

Thank You to Everyone Here that makes this place Special, We really Love our Time here!

🐶My Pup & I are Grateful for this Place 🙏🏼
