Dayon Coffee Co
3186 Vista Way, Solana Beach, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Solana Beach, Dayon Coffee Co is a charming neighborhood spot where owners Steve and Tanya have mastered the art of matcha—customers consistently rave about it being the best they've had in San Diego, with perfectly balanced flavors that rival homemade versions. Beyond the exceptional matcha program, this espresso-focused café cultivates a genuinely welcoming atmosphere that's ideal for lingering with friends (or your dog), backed by exceptional service and thoughtfully balanced pastries that won't overwhelm your palate.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Dog friendly.
