Crema's Take

“Joy and Claire have mastered the art of making you feel like a regular the moment you walk in, pairing that genuine warmth with genuinely excellent espresso and creative drinks like their caramelized banana lattes and perfectly-spiced chai that people drive 90 minutes out of their way for. The drive-thru setup means you can grab exceptional coffee and their surprisingly delicious paninis without sacrificing speed or quality. If you want a specialty coffee shop that actually tastes as good as it feels, this is the spot.”

What to expect

Specialty coffee. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Drive-thru.

I love this place. Killer espresso grind. Awesome 50 gr protein vanilla and peanut butter smoothie. Joy, makes some of the best coffee I have ever had. I live 1.5 hrs away and every time I come to San Diego I make it a point to come by. 5 stars of awesome.

Joy and Claire are the best. Extremely friendly, great coffee. This is our go to spot. Joy coffee always sets the tone to start the day off right. We always get a vanilla latte, and a Chai tea latte with 1/2 shots. Both incredible.

Great drive-thru coffee spot! The coffee is fresh and delicious, and the panini was perfectly toasted and flavorful. Fast, friendly service too — my new go-to for a quick pick-me-up!

Joy was such a sweetheart! I got the Banana Bread Chai & my fiancée got the Caramelized banana latte, and they were both DELICIOUS! We also split the PB&J protein smoothie, so good! We will definitely return to try their seasonal lattes!
