Delicious Thai Boba.Customer service was fantastic. Ambience was nice and there was plenty of seating with little nooks to hang out. It’s unassuming from the outside, so you should definitely go in and give it a try. Additionally, they have retail items, like clothing, for sale.There’s a parking lot in the back of the building.

Every specialty latte I’ve gotten here has been surreal! The quality and artisanal craftsman of these beverages are the top of the town. Not to mention the desserts are utterly outstanding!I finally tried one, their cheesecake to be specific, and it was phenomenal every bite! It was such a treat in the morning, especially with a sweet specialty latte!The outdoor area is beautiful and there’s so much space. I also really dig the interior sett up! It is very open and bohemian chic! There’s a lot of light and air flow! :)10/10 🙏🏼P.S. B is such a phenomenal human and a blessing to the coffee cuisine industry! His work is outstanding and he’s so friendly. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

We walked in and the lady working was sitting on the bench against the wall. She didnt even greet us, she just walked over and stood by the registered and looked at us with an attitude. She didnt offer any suggestions or ask what we liked. Just stood there, with an attitude and kept giving us dirty looks.. When I asked a question, she had an attitude and didnt even offer other options they had. I got the white chocolate taro. It was watered down and tasted Nothing like taro. I also got the tresleche, which was disgusting! It was just soggy bread with cinnamon. Its cute inside and outside. Thats the only positive thing I experienced. A complete waste of my money.

Love this place for the vibe, the space, and their Vietnamese coffee (made by the Vietnamese co-owner) and the baked pastries (made by the Mexican co-owner Mariana)! Used to come here regularly to co-work with others pre-pandemic. So glad they made it through 2020!

The Drinks were ordinary, the experience was extra ordinary. Staff are super friendly.If I try to explain, it will be like…..Felt like, I Stopped at Irish House after a long Road Trip for a sip of Tea. It location was as usually but I felt like I stepped in to a house, did not feel like a coffee shop.Lot of choices of drinks, including Boba drinks, Tea, Coffee, Lemonades. They also have Soft Serves, Desserts with lot of choices of Toppings, Sauces and even Milk Alternatives. They also have House made pastries like Belgium Waffles, croissants and other breads.The seating was unique, felt like home. All corners were arranged with unique setting.I downside is felt it was little expensive.

This place is so cute and they have amazing coffee! I love all the options and flavors they offer. This morning I got a sugar free toffee latte and my wife got a skinny mocha cold brew iced latte and both were so good. They also have good taro and coffee lattes. Definitely a must try.

Maybe the only boba spot in SD that is open at 8AM.Parking is behind the building but fills up fast, parking on street is tricky.A lot of choice of coffees and teas. Very fresh and the staff is always friendly.They have a plant co-op situation in the same house and seems to be a nice addition to your boba beverage. Would recommend to friends and family.

The service was good and atmosphere is really relaxed but trendy. The drinks are very tasty but the highlight is the pastries the Red Velvet cookie was yummy but the Guava bar....OMG!!! I could eat two a day from now until forever lol. And they heat the cookies for you. Please excuse my half eaten snacks, they looked so good I couldnt wait until after the post 😊

I have ordered so many different drinks from their menu and I have to say, I have yet to be disappointed in any of them. My go-to is the blueberry matcha with oat milk. More recently, they have been offering charcuterie boards. I bought one yesterday and it. was. AMAZING. They separate the crackers from the cheese/meat/honey/jam box so if you want to refrigerate it you can without needing to worry about the crackers getting soft. They even added a small honey comb to the honey which was such a cute little detail. It was simple, cute/aesthetic, and everything tasted very fresh. They provide utensils and a pair of tongs too so you can just pick it up and go straight to wherever you wanna enjoy it without worrying about packing anything. Love it here!

Great spot on the edge of North Park (maybe 5 blocks from the sign).The space: Quiet (all though I came during the daytime on a weekday. Excellent natural lighting, cool, indoor and outdoor seating, well spread out, and really just has a lot of character. Top notch music selection. A chill spot for catching up with people or studying. Free wi-fiDrinks: The menu has coffe and teas and really is diverse. Standard coffees, with a good amount of drinks with a twist. It appears to focus on quality. Classic milk tea and thai tea, and again has some unique flavors.Limited parking in the back (3 spots) with some street parking, but all surrounsing street parking is free so 👌.Overall, quality place. Love the atmosphere and drinks are great.

Cute coffee shop with a lot of natural lighting which was nice. I would have liked more coffee options, but ended up getting the Nutella banana specialty coffee drink. It was great, more on the sweeter side. They also have matcha and tea options. Set up of the place is great, especially since it’s a house setting. There’s more seating on the side of the house too. Since there wasn’t any hours listed online I ended up going in about 10min before they opened. Staff was very nice about it and let me order anyway!

Nice cozy little place. Decor and layout is really cool and its a nice quiet place to study, have a coffee and catch up with friend or grab a snack and drink to go. Friendly employees and low key ambiance make this a hidden gem.4 stars because the front door is tricky with a stroller or wheel chair( wheel chair ramp accessible).

Everything is consistently delicious and the staff are always great, serving an amazing selection of drinks I would’ve never thought to try before. It’s an old house and they did a wonderful job making it a comfortable space for work, studying, or socializing. Spend some time here and you’ll feel right at home.

This is a cute little spot... we came for a friends art show, which turned out to be a very nice venue. Very well redesigned, filled with people on laptops, open, airy, and lawn games out front. A collection of coffees, matcha, and ice creams that seem to be growing... no vegan ice creams but they do have milk alternatives for all their drinks.

Rare to find a coffee spot in San Diego that not only has great consistent customer service and a fun diverse menu full of creatively delicious drinks!!! Always tastes so good! I enjoy the pretty spaces and calm nooks that include a sunny outdoor patio and backyard. The pastries my favorite are the cookie :D or the soft serve is a must!!! The owners story for creating Deja Brew is a true example of people who love our San Diego community and want to bring friends and family together for the sake of good service and drinks!

Decor needs work and please get rid of the plastic plants. A latte at nearly a fiver tasted like machine coffee at work. On my way out I tried to give him feedback but he was taken aback by my honesty so I don’t think they get it.

Honestly, I have gone here many times and have seen the progression of this place, I have stopped by when they were busy and when they were not busy. One thing I have noticed about the workers here is that they are very accommodating and if your drinks or desserts are not up to par they will fix it to your taste, so dont be shy when coming up to them and asking them to fix your order because they are more than happy in fixing it to your taste. None of their drinks have failed me, every time I come I always try something different because of the wide array of drinks that they serve. My go to drinks are the Strawberries&Cream, White Aloha, and Matcha Pandan. Their boba is comparable to convoy street boba, this is also a good place to stop by for some boba if you are in the area or too lazy to drive up to convoy if you live more south. You can also pair you boba with the coffee! I think my favorite drink changes every month because none of the drinks has failed me yet. So far my current favorite matcha is the pandan matcha which gives me nostalgia of my childhood visiting the Philippines. I also highly recommend the white aloha and dirty taro latte! I didnt expect espresso to pair well with taro but it does. The white aloha is a staple drink for me whenever I need to study for exams or write papers. The pastries are good as well, I really like the smores bar, guava bar, and their scones. The location of the place is also positioned in a convenient way that when it is hot theres a breeze coming into the place.

The place is a good place to go syudy. However, the downside is that the menu do not have that many options to order from. I would highly recommend to realy consider selling Nachos w/ Jalapeño and not only that, but some other stuff too. Other than that, the place is nice, clean and the staff is always awesome...
