Crema's Take

Tucked in downtown San Diego, this Hawaiian-inspired coffee shop pulls authentic Kona coffee with impressive skill and serves it alongside genuinely excellent breakfast—think blackberry nut muffins and acai bowls that live up to the hype. The laid-back, welcoming vibe and genuinely friendly staff create the kind of neighborhood spot where you'll want to linger over a strong espresso, and at prices that won't make you miss that chain coffee shop around the corner.

Chill coffee spot serving simple Hawaiian breakfasts and Kona coffee. Fantastic service and the workers were incredibly friendly. Great coffee, great acai, what more could ya ask for.

My first time checking out, I live around the corner but I go to Starbucks also around the corner. Lani is cheaper and I think better for me 😜 come enjoy a cup of joe or grab a bite. I recommend it. Say hi to a neighbor.

WOW!! I have never had my expectations blown away by a coffee place before. The food here (I got the blackberry nut muffin) IS THE BEST! I also got coffee, the brew was strong, the way I ordered, and the nut milk was very yummy. There is an array of items on the menu that could fill anyone's coffee and snack desires. I am so shocked by the prices too, so cheap for San Diego! I will come again.

Cute cafe downtown I stopped for a breakfast. I had to repeat my order to the older gentleman a few times as he kept getting it wrong. Whatever they are claiming to be “Kona” coffee is almost certainly not it, given the price, the terrible diluted flavour, and the color of the coffee. The breakfast bagel was tasteless very much similar to what you get served on a plane. Ambience in the cafe was ok, some seating, the usual sticky floors and tables. Nothing worth visiting, I would consider other options in the area.
