TERI Common Grounds Café & Coffee Bar - San Marcos, California

Very good! We had the egg & bacon breakfast burrito, and it was the perfect amount of food. We also had Avocado Toast and it was "delicious!" Would order again and will probably be back before our trip is up. We had Soy Latte and a Caramel Latte, and both were good. Not bitter. Not overly flavored. Great way to start the morning. Nice little place!

New favorite spot for meetings and lunch. The Teri campus and cafe are a hidden gem for North County residents and beyond. I have lived in Vista off and on for years and never knew about Teri. A friend and business connection of mine told me about the campus so I met a potential business connection for lunch there.

There was live music out on the patio, and the vibe was great! Good tea, food and friendly service.

This is my new go-to spot for meetings. Since I work remote, I’ll be frequently going when I need to get out of the home office and be surrounded by beautiful trees and mountains.

They also have concerts and events so I’m excited to attend one soon!

The best part is knowing that the organization does so much good. I vote with my dollars and feel proud to choose Teri over a big chain.

I’ll add some photos on my next visit!

We ordered a breakfast burrito that was supposed to come with bacon and cheese and what we opened when we got home was a tortilla filled with about 7 eggs and a sprinkle of beans. Not at all what we ordered or wanted.

I am thrilled to share my experience of visiting the campus and restaurant that cater to children and young adults with special needs. Recently, I received a last-minute invitation to a concert at the performing arts center on this campus, and to my surprise, it introduced me to a whole new world of inclusivity and warmth. Being someone who works closely with young adults with special needs, I was overjoyed to see such a dedicated space. The cafe surpassed all my expectations - the food was delicious, the service was exceptional, and the atmosphere was filled with joy. To top it off, there was even a live band performing on the patio, creating a truly magical experience for everyone present. This campus and restaurant truly embody a welcoming and inclusive environment, making it a hidden gem worth celebrating.

This place is awesome! Highly recommend visiting! This café is owned by TERI, the same name of a school in Oceanside, CA, where they help students with special needs. Some of the money they make here goes to funding of that school in Oceanside. This café has tons of parking, indoor and outdoor seating, all flat ground, so wheelchair accessible, one wheelchair accessible restroom for any gender, they sell some foods and lots of drinks, and they sell cute merch and art! I bought myself a beautiful green shirt with the TERI logo on it, as well as a blue shirt for my dog (see photos)! The employees are all kind, they have heaters outside, high chairs for babies, free WiFi, and everything you need. This is definitely a great place to bring family, friends, a date, or even to sit and study. The food and drinks we bought were delicious, and they had live music playing outside (not too loud which was awesome)!

I have to share my review about Terri Common Grounds because we had such an amazing experience having our Mission Hills High School Cross Country banquet here. Every single person we worked with was amazing! They went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. The facilities are gorgeous and everyone (150 people) in attendance felt the same way. I would not hesitate to contact them to host an event here. The pricing is very reasonable and you will not be disappointed. Not to mention every time you or anyone from the community books with them, it goes right back into the development of the Campus, positively impacting the neuro diverse community for life. Go check them out!

Proceeds from this spot support people with special needs. The food they serve is healthy, including gluten-free options. I chose avocado toast. Service was friendly and efficient. It was a quiet spot to stop and unwind. They also offer live music sometimes.

This was my first visit to this campus and I was so impressed and excited about the work they do, the campus they are building and their vision! The coffee shop is beautiful, open concept with indoor and outside seating. There is an event room availible for reservation next to it and an outdoor BBQ. They offer brunch and their food is made fresh and is truly wonderful.
