This is an adorable little coffee shop with lots of options for everyone. We got the binary code and the reboot. They were delicious! The reboot was sweeter than the binary code, but you could really taste the honey! We also grabbed a couple pastries the sun-dried tomato pesto roll and the passion fruit roll. Both were delicious. Since I like my coffee sweetened I really liked having savory pastries!

The 5 stars are for the pastries :))) Or a thousand stars for the buns? They are always so damn good. Any flavors really. Id go here just for the pastries!The coffee drinks are good but It’s definitely on the sweet side. You can always adjust the sugar though. Ive only tried a few of their drinks.

Their specialty cold brew concoctions are excellent. Only giving them 4 stars at this time bc i have only been once and want able to try their pastries. Will be back to try them again. Cool hip theme the have going on. Friendly fast service

I stopped by this place and felt like it would be a slam dunk with such a long line out the door, but overall I feel like the best way to describe my experience here is “meh”. Like it wasn’t bad… but it wasn’t great either. Did I eat my food and drink my latte? Yes. Would I be back to buy it again? No.The wait is too long for what you get IMO. Also the tip options displayed at checkout are almost insulting… it goes up to 38%!! Like excuse me, what??!

Got there at 10am on a Saturday and there was a line out the door (good sign?!). I am not a coffee drinker so I was interested in trying their non-coffee options! I landed on The Dreamer - an iced blue chai w/almond milk and I liked it! It wasnt the best chai Ive ever had but it was good enough that Id go back to try something else (I almost got a matcha!). I really appreciated that they had vegan friendly options here!! They had several non-dairy milks to choose from and a section of pastries that were vegan too!The seating was cozy and it wasnt really too loud in there. They did have a bathroom and it was super clean!Overall The Forum was a nice spot to chill for 2 hours and chat with a friend and Id definitely go back!

Nice clean coffee. A lot of space to sit inside and some tables outside too. Good place to enjoy some pastries and a tea, coffee or a cold brew.

Good food. Good coffee. Few tables. Ate in my car.

This is the most reasonably priced coffee shop! All you can see, touch, and taste is made with love. The employees are all very skilled and are well-versed in their jobs. Other high-quality pastries and cookies are also available at a very affordable price. This is by far the most strong! Everyone should try it out.

Amazing Coffee!! Amazing pastries! And the belgian waffles are to die for! The staff is very friendly too! This is my new favorite breakfast place!! We tried the lavendar mocha and the flavor was perfect! Not too sweet, not too much lavendar taste, still strong, good, coffee. Cant wait to try more things there!!💕💕

Super friendly barristas, ordered their Apache, Reboot and Double Post, all with oat milk ;) and croissant! Amazing quality with a La Marzocco espresso machine!

Cool Lil coffee tea shop w bagels waffles and such...

I would give them 5 stars if my Nitro coffee is better . Not sure why the coffee is just black😒. However I love the Rule 34 Salmon Waffle. It is so delicous and beautiful decor. So I still will highly rec. it👌

Good coffee. Good service.

I know its a coffee place but i also like their teas. The menu is unique- i will probably try everything on the menu

Great place for breakfast!’n

Spacious café, people using laptop during weekdays, music quite loud but not a big deal.Hot latte is above my expectation, and I’d recommend to try the croissant!

Good coffee. Friendly service. Cute outdoor seating. There is some food offerings too.

Coffee is delicious and their waffles are the perfect breakfast! Great variety on the menu and friendly service.

This place is great! The coffee is perfect, the food is unique and absolutely delicious, and the staff is super personable. AJ and Ken Ken are awesome!!

This was one of the best avocado toasts Ive ever had!! I got a custom Digital Detox and the portions were huge. Paired with the Debugger (cremé brulee latte), which was also amazing.

The drink was decent but overpriced. Atmosphere is comfortable

Can’t imagine how they get this high score given the rudeness and ill-treatment I got from the staff. We ordered one latte but was handed half of cup, the taste is bitter and sour. More shockingly, the Asian gal behind the bar blatantly talked to the cashier right in front of us asking quote, did they just order one cup end quote.Guess people dishing out 5 star are there for WiFi

Pretty good, but .75 for a splash of oat milk? Yikes!

Too many people, long wait, and pricey. The coffees good, but not that good.

Loved this place! Lattes and pastries were on point! I’d definitely return for more

Really unique drinks. I got the white chocolate and rose which was amazing. We also got the Nutella Latte which was good. My fave was the white chocolate and rose out of the two. 🌹💕It has a nice ambience. A lot of small groups and couples seemed to be having a great time hanging out here. A lot of seating and good lighting to read or work on computer.Will definitely try more drinks on my next visit because the menu has so many unique coffee and tea selections. 😊☕️❤️

Yum Yum! Great teas and the food was delish!Very friendly staff as well which is always a plus.

Many people but good💗

One of my favorite coffee place, highly recommend the apache and rule 34!

Good coffee..the pumpkin pie croissant was unforgettable!

It gives me a different kind of comfort every time I visited this coffee shop. I am such a huge fan of their iced mocha. This place is really worth visiting alone or with your friends and family. No one can beat their excellent customer service, good coffee, and affordable prices. Great place to hang out! Highly recommended!

Delicious food and coffee. Friendly. Nice place to gather, meet, or get work done.

Great coffee and in house made pastries! They make the best croissants and scones.

Pros: Good atmosphereCobs: If you want to use Wifi, this is not a place. Very unstable. And ice beverage cup design is awful.

Not only are their coffee, teas, and meals delicious, but they also host a number of independent artists who come to showcase their work! I fell in love with this charming café and its workers the first time I visited.

Tasty Apache large triple, good crema with Nutella mix in. Delicious! Lots of space to spread out with friends or laptops. Dogs allowed.

Pastry and coffee is delicious. The parking is free and the staff is friendly but If you are going there to study be aware that the tables fill really quickly and the internet is soooooooooo slow. I was connected to my hotspot the whole time bc there was no point in refreshing pages every second.

I wish this place existed when I was at UCSD! Although all the seating is unavailable through covid, it looks spacious and all the drinks are so unique! Excited to come back when I’m back in SD :)

Fanatic cold brew is delicious. Will definitely want to try the others.

Great spot for great coffee, tea, and cold brew. Staff are very helpful and willing to describe the products to help choose a great drink! The Troubleshooter is delicious, as is the Blue Chai. Very cool decor, too.

I absolutely love the drinks. If you’re a matcha or coffee fan, the drinks will absolutely satisfy. One of my most favorite cafés to hang out at.Also keep in mind The Forum is a staple for the college crowd. It is extremely hard to find seats on a weekday during testing periods, let alone Sundays. But absolutely come if you’re doing take out!

Pleasant coffee pour-over. Compared to other products, single-origin coffee is inexpensive. You can also expect the ambience to be welcoming and the interior design to be stunning. Its worth a try!

Great coffee house! I had the Apache latte. Definitely worth a try!

Excellent selection of Joe.. flavorful.. robust.. and a nice ambience to the place!

Great coffee. Nice ambiance sitting by the window watching cars goes by. The staff are lovely and I would thoroughly recommend a visit to anyone who is in the area.

Nice space which serves coffee, tea, and sandwiches. The matcha is good. Wifi available.

This place really well-deserved more than five-star ratings. Everything from their staff, interior designs, and even the services were exceptional. This is truly a lovely place to get some coffee. A place to keep coming back to for more and more every time. I highly recommend this coffee shop to everyone.

Very knowledgeable staff. Excellent coffee. Highly recommend.

High quality, artistically created coffees, teas, toasts and sandwiches. Pure deliciousness in your mouth!

Iced matcha w/oatmilk was good. Was hoping to use the wifi for a bit but every spot was taken by people who didnt look like they were leaving anytime soon. Bummer. Would have ordered food as well if there was somewhere to sit. Seemed like there was space to open up a few more tables while still having them be socially distant, but thats the owners decision.

This place is awesome. I meet up with a friend here every week. They have lots of drinks to choose from and so far I have loved every single one. The baristas are already friendly and answer my questions about the drinks. I also live the decor! Keep it up guys!

Awesome espresso and cappuccino news excellent crew always so very nice and polite

Service was fast and the person that helped me was very knowledgable. She answered all my questions and recommended a coffee that I ended up liking a lot (The Fanatic). The place is great to hang out and take pictures as its very contemporary. Highly recommend.

Great coffee place. Generally crowded. Had to wait 10 mins to order

The first time I tried this place, I was fairly disappointed. I gave them a second chance to see if my first order just wasnt very good, and I was again left disappointed. Their menu is overwhelming with odd choices. Everything had something weird to it. My iced chai latte was blue and tasted like water. I wasted $5 on a drink I couldnt bring myself to finish. And to make my experiences worse, the staff couldnt get their system to work. They spent over 5 minutes trying to run my card which I know wasnt the problem. They clearly did not know how to operate it and wouldnt look at the card reader from my perspective to help me. If they hadnt made my drink already I wouldve just left. Safe to say I wont return. Save your money. There are better coffee shops.

It is so gorgeous here! The drinks are incredible! This was an unplanned, perfect date! This is such a beautiful place, I cant get enough of it!

My favorite thing about moving to clairmont

Nice, and strong full-flavored, and not as expensive as some of the others Ive tried before. They have a good coffee and friendly service throughout. The ambiance is so good, and the internet connection is fast. I would strongly recommend this coffee shop to everyone who loves coffee. I finally found a coffee shop in my area.

Great service, chill atmosphere and setting, and excellent coffee and tea

I’d give it a higher review if I could ☺️

While it hurts my bohemian soul that coffee shop loitering is banned during pandemic, there is comfort to be found here. The Forum offers an array of flavored coffee and tea drinks (the best matcha mixtapes) and theyre available on ice with summer time. The menu is a play on words of all things digital; programmers will delight in the double entendre. Their waffle, toast, and pastry creations are delectable and whether you use the online portal or drop by, they are friendly and Covid aware.

Great matcha & the best waffle combinations! I love their double post

The ultimate coffee shop for studying and working

Nice atmosphere and drinks. Only drawback is the lack of food; there are sandwiches until 3pm and pastries all day but I wished there were more.

Fine. the two teas we had were good

Great coffee here!

Quick service. Delicious lavender lattes!

Great coffee selection, they have non dairy options for lactose intollerant people. Theme of this coffee shop is computer science. They have a kitchen open from opening till 3pm. Closes at 7pm unfortunate so no late night studying. Wifi is dual signal one is a 5g network. Could use more power outlets esp maybe a extension cord to the outside tables. Great parking selection due to lot behind the shop/building. I got the matcha mojito. Low sugar, refreshing, and packs a green tea matcha caffine kick. If you like lemonade and mint flavors this is a great drink for you. Not very sweet which is a bonus as i am trying yo cut down on sugar.

The best coffee Ive ever had and the best coffee shop Ive ever been!.

Code green and bb code are the comb! Get the croissant!

Great little tea and coffee shop with lots of options and a ton of seating for chilling and studying. Plenty of outlets and good WiFi too. However, they play music pretty loudly so it’s a little distracting. During busy times there aren’t many places to sit either.

This places is really for college students to do their homework. All the tables were taken by students doing work on their laptops. Not a place to sit and eat with friends to socialize. Pick up and go place

Best matcha in town. Ok pastries. Great space but very busy with people working on computers.

Great flavor. Helpful barrista. Too many kids doing homework, but at least they arent rowdy.

Great focused atmosphere and the food and drinks are wonderful!

Awesome coffee house. Wonderful selection of tea and coffee, cold and hot! They make their own pastries and all of them are delicious. Im here at least x2 a week. You can order online and pick up too! Super friendly staff as well.

Super cute place. Really nice environment!

Nice cozy coffee place. You can get your laptop here to work or just come to chill with a nice cuppa coffee. They have a lot of healthy (green stuff) options as well ;) They accept apply pay!

Good WiFi despite being TEC. Coffee is adequate. No Brewed coffee only espresso shots. Decent tea. Boba is served. Few power outlets. Seating is strong but short. Too small for my taste. Good lighting. A little loud.

The quality of coffee is really good and the service is great.

Hot drinks could be a bit hotter, otherwise fast drinks!

I drove 10 miles to try new cafe. They have many different coffee and I order lavender mocha and coffee with White chocolate but not really impressed.

This was a new discovery for me and a pleasant surprise. Very good coffee and several unique toasts. Last time I got “The Mess We Made” which is sort of a bananas foster French toast. It was excellent, but next time I’ll get it without the Nutella. This time I ordered the “404 Error” which is a savory toast. A great atmosphere to study or hang out and they offer Wi-Fi. The staff are super friendly and helpful, too. Glad I found this place. You should visit soon!

Cute spot! Good service, a nice menu of coffee, tea and breakfast snacks/toasts

Chill and welcoming environment, perfect to do work or chat with friends. The coffee is some of the best Ive ever had and comes with silverware shaped like hearts! The people working there are just wonderful and so patient! Ive had the Elite, Avatar, and hot tea and was blown away with how unique and delicious the Avatar is. Would recommend for anyone!

Use their app for no contact ordering a d pick up and track points.

I really like the drinks here. The coffee is excellent as well as the non coffee drinks, such as the matcha horchata. If you want to drink your coffee there, you get an an actual ceramic mug and saucer and/or glass cup. I have not been disappointed by their drinks at all. Pictured are the cinnamon latte and the Avatar, which is homemade horchata and a shot or matcha on top, complete with a whole cinnamon stick. Really refreshing!

I like this place! Relaxing environment, they created such a nice space. Good wifi, friendly people, and tasty coffee!

Sooo deeeeelicious and affordable and warm loungy environment to study at or need w.Love everything about this place - the coffee, the space, the vibe, the service. Favorite coffee shop to get some work done at.

I love starbucks but I think I found a new love! My absolute favorite is the Trouble shooter which is made with their house-made salted caramel. Im addicted! My other faves are the Debugger (creme brulee cappuccino), and The Apache (Nutella latte - bomb obvi!)I also hear the cold brew on nitro is good, so thats on my list to try next!Their menu is unique and the drinks tastes great! Lots of indoor seating and outlets so it would be a great place to work/study. The staff members are very friendly and eager to please customers. Overall, this place is MUCH needed in Clairemont since theres really nothing like it around there. Will definitely be coming back!

Awesome food and drink. My The Last Waffle looked better than the photo in the menu! The best part is that it is in Clairemont so no driving to North Park etc.

Always lovely. Lovely staff gorgeous fresh food

Great cold brew with many options. Pleasantly surprised. Located in a nondescript shopping center.

We have only tasted the coffee shakes and those were very good. We will return to try different things. The staff here was very polite and friendly.

Really nice! I like the A++! I’ve had it many times, and it gives you energy all day! The Brie Danish is also really delicious, and pairs well with their sweeter drinks (The Dreamer, and the Banana cold brew). I’m not a big fan of lavender, so I’ve never tried it, but my friends think their lavender matcha is really delicious.

Stopped in on a Monday I think. Service is consistently good. Prices are appropriate.

Amazing Cafe. Infused Teas, Nitro-Cold Brewed Coffee from the Tap and an overall great atmosphere and ambiance. Plenty of Power Outlets and Seating for anyone looking to work or study.

The cafe seems very popular among students. Visited this place on Saturday noon, it was stuffed with students and there were almost nothing on display, probably everything has been eaten already. Atmosphere in the cafe is quite good, but my cappuccino was more like an espresso shot. Not surprised. Havent seen a place in San Diego yet with good choice of pastries and barista knowing how to make latte and cappuccino.

Its was great

The almond croissant was awesome! When I got it it was nice and hot straight from the kitchen, no heating required, I also got the cold brew which was also very good! I am pleased to have found this coffee shop in time of need! need of coffee!!
