Prendi E Vai
801 W Hawthorn St, San Diego, CA
Crema's Take
“This Little Italy gem serves up some of San Diego's best Italian sandwiches with genuine care, from the barista working the window to the thoughtful staff behind the counter. Each sandwich is lovingly crafted with quality ingredients—think spicy Sicilianos, creamy Parma Specials with prosciutto, and egg with porchetta and pesto—hitting that perfect balance of flavor and restraint. It's the kind of warm, family-friendly spot where you can grab an exceptional bite quickly or linger over espresso, made by people who clearly take pride in what they're making.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
