Really wonderful Hawaiian coffee. Made just the way you want. Got a mocha with medium roast and my friend got a dark roast coffee. They offer different flavorings along with oat milk and regular milk. Price is comparable to most coffee houses maybe even a bit lower. Definitely be back.
Really good coffee and great staff. Gets really packed sometimes, they really need to step up their online ordering system.
This is the absolute best coffee in San Diego. You really have to try it to believe it
First and foremost is the aloha spirit and feeling of ohana (family). Second, but not by any means less than, is the cold brew coffees. The selection of cold brew is a virtual tour of the Hawaiian islands! From the light to the dark, the strongest cup of cold brew is equivalent to 12 shots of espresso! The choices of milk and sweeteners will make any lactose intolerant person jump for joy. The best sweetener by far is the Haupia, home made coconut sweetener! They even save your drink in the system so you can just say, Ill have what I had last time, cause I wouldnt know what I had! On a side note, I would love to see more fresh baked goods with the same islands flavor, maybe some malasadas, our macadamia nut cookies! The decor is a little dark, doesnt quite remind me of Hawaii, but it is chic. Over all a must try, Ill definitely be back!
Great coffee! Service kind and patient. Thank you!
They had no coffee beans for sale. After over 20 minutes of waiting for my beverage, it was sorta busy, I asked if they had lost my order. They had. They apologized for the wait. The coffee tasted like 1995 coffee. Also, 1995 sizes, my small coffee was enormous. Also, so many people waiting inside, very Covid-y. Also, still rocking plastic straws.
**although its called espresso bar it does not specialize in espresso drinks. Get the coffee instead.Hawaiian coffee of different flavor profiles. Their specialties are hot or cold coffee with their homemade sweetener, tastes like coconut candy!! So good. Perfect place for a nice sweet cup of coffee. Plus, they only have hawaiian beans. Get your Kona here! Make sure to try the homemade sweetener.
This place is wonderful Hawaiian coffee I enjoyed the hoapia cream I got with my coffee and the cold brew is amazing
Awesome coffee and service. Tastes just like the Kona coffee from Hawaii. The server was fantastic and let me try several sample blends to find which I ordered. She also let me try a coconut sweetener that went so well with my coffee. Overall think its one of my favorite coffee spots.
Love their coffee here. It’s strong enough for me plus their craft coffee puts a personal taste, which I like. This is my go to spot!
My FAVORITE coffee South of the 94 ☕ ❤.Since Im organized marketing minded I gave 4🌟 bc I see quite a few improvements needed to boost sales in that category, other than that the coffee and almost Haupia alone keeps me back for more.The customer service feels like Im back on the Big Island, chill, relaxed and genuine which I appreciate.Requesting My Usual is a unique service they provide thats convenient if you cant remember your favorite/regular order.TRY:50/50 Oahu West over iced premium coconut milk w/2xHaupia = 1.5cups of coffee
Pavaraga coffee is my favorite Hawaiian coffee place. Their coffee is delicious and has a delightful taste. Plus they have a coconut syrup that adds an overtone of flavor that just makes my day. Friendly staff take great care of you.
First timers get a free flight of all the cold brews they have. its amazing. you can tell just how each brew varies from the others.the store and its employees have a created an atmosphere that isnt at all pretentious for how carefully curated their craft coffee menu is.if I had lived closer, I would have easily become a regular. Ill have to make do only coming every week or so, but I know for sure the trip will be worth it.
Hawaiian family owned coffee bar. This place is better than any other coffee I’ve ever had. Super friendly employees. Try this!
Amazing coffee. Definitely try out the flavorings although the hapia is fantastic and a wonderful default. Many options and relaxing atmosphere gives you a space to do some work or hang out. Within walking distance of the golf course, library and Bonita heritage museum.
I absolutely love this place, service is great very friendly, I live in lakeside and drive 30 mins just to get this coffee, it is by far the smoothest coffee I have ever had.
If you have a coffee/ espresso obsession, Pavarga is a must go. Many options to tailor your coffee to taste, and very patient, and detail oriented workers to assist the novice. I enjoyed the experience,and look forward to my next visit. I highly recommend!
Amazing!! The owner gave me a free sample of a secret recipe he was making and was incredibly kind. The actual coffee is mind blowing and my standards for coffee are forever changed. If you love coffee you have got to try this place!
This coffeehouse is legit. I entered there as well as tested every one of the various strengths of the coffee and every among them were great. The lady behind the counter, sorry I forgot her name yet if I see it Ill update this, she was super wonderful as well as individual. I actually like that a person on one experience as with anything excellent it takes some time as well as this was well worth the wait. She used me a seat while she showed me the components that were made for my big iced Hawaiian salty caramel coffee. Absolutely the very best selection I might have created the day.The tastes of the coffee from the least toughest to the most solid are really tasty. You could taste the top quality. And afterwards when she started mixing all the other components the magic occurred which iced salty sugar Hawaiian coffee was absolutely stunning. I failed to remember the name of that cream that they make in house yet that is several of the very best stuff Ive ever tasted. Its lightly sweetened with a hint of coconut. The tastes just stuck around on my tongue. I want they would offer it in containers however I comprehend if they did much less individuals would certainly be available in to obtain their handcrafted drinks.As with Yelp your first sign in you get 10% off the order. A big is 6 bucks so it involved $5.85. Offered her pointer because I took pleasure in the experience, the one on one focus as well as that was a damn excellent cup of coffee. Far much better than any kind of coffee places Ive ever before been to. Following time when in this field Im certainly coming back. I consumed half of my coffee since I really did not intend to keep up we hours of the night yet the various other half is going to be so fantastic tomorrow also!
All things amazing coffee will you find here. *wink* upon your first time let them know and you’ll get to taste the flight of coffee. From that point you choose which was your favorite, and they teach you how to customize your beverage for a 100% match every time.
The best custom cold brew coffee! Great friendly service!Their coconut sweetener is one of a kind.
We visited this place for the first time this weekend (4/8/18). The lady working there alone was fantastic. Super nice, helpful, patient and took her time to customize our drinks. No food is available there yet. We had the place to our selves Sunday morning. Plenty of parking. It was a bit warm in there and only one of the ceiling fans worked. It feels a little cramped in there. Lots of tables and chairs really packed together. They had some cards and games for people to play with. Caution, whatever I had made me WIRED! I was so caffeinated for the whole day it was crazy. So be careful as to what you order.
Simple, understated, but a hidden gem. Quality coffee and tea with many options and quite a story of how it came from Hawaii and travelled the world. Worth it to cool your heels, every time.
My favorite new coffee cafe. The coffee is amazing. Quality coffee with extraordinary flavor. Their specialty are the cold brews. The baristas here are outstanding. You will love this place.
Dude!!!! They have the best coffee in the whole world!!! Come here and try for yourself, it is AMAZING
Simply the best coffee. Harvested in Hawaii and roasted in house. I drive miles and miles out of my way just for this heavenly nectar ☕The staff is also very kind and accommodating. I feel at home every time I visit.
I absolutely Love this place. I am a COFFEE person and Ive been here twice and the fact that you can pre order your coffee and they keep record of it with your name so they dont mess up your order is Above and Beyond Excellent service.The coffee place is like a wine tasting place so you can really chose the type of coffee creamer sweetener and intensity of the bean. Thats everything to me delicious excellent service and staff!And I appreciate that they have meetings! I happened to witness a meeting occurring- and very uplifting! Big Ups!!!!
My gf and I discovered this place about 3 weeks ago. While we loved it from the first visit I waited a couple more visits to capture a more rounded experience before reviewing. They have yet to drop the ball yet. ;)Upon acknowledging the first visit they offer a flight of their brews to help distinguish their strengths and flavors. Mind you this is a STRONG coffee place and amateur coffee drinkers take heed.All of their drinks are hand crafted, feeler sips are offered to make sure they get it right. Potentially problematic as far as consistency? No worries! You can save your order(s) in their register to remember what you got last time. Clever. :)In our three visits weve encounter 4 different team members whove all done well in distinguishing the menu and who are all equally personable and professional. The only potential pitfall I can perceive is if the place gets slammed and there is only one team member. Hand crafting drinks takes time.Would recommend, will come again--caffeine sensitivity pending. ;)
Coffee and tea are very good. Barrista is good waits to make sure its to your liking
This coffee shop is without a doubt the most impressive place to sip a cup of java at any time of the day. You’ll love how they prompt comfortability and serenity inside the space. You can also feel the warmness and friendly ambiance of the place from every crew who serves you. This coffee shop is definitely the best place to study for your exams, share heart-to-heart talk with someone, or even quietly meditating about life. It’s homey and amazing!
This coffee is the best. I love Kona coffee and I was so pleased by my iced triple espresso with their special coconut creme. This is now my go to for coffee. Wow!
OMGosh! If you like Pumpkin, try their customer favorite with Pumpkin spice! I have only been there once, but really enjoyed it.
I wish this place was closer to where I live! The coffee is amazing and the barista was super helpful with explaining the options. Support a small business over the large chains any day!
Every time Im in South San Diego, I cannot leave without some Pavaraga coffee. Wish there was one closer to me in Orange County. Id go every day for perfect, yummy coffee. :)
Knowledgeable barista gives you a run down on their current coffee line up, along with all the options youre able to customize your coffee with. They even offer adjustments to your cup of coffee! Excellent service and quality products makes this a must go place in my books. Ill definitely be coming back.
Delicious beans!! Coffee is amazing, the service is fantastic, although the service is a bit slow, its for a good reason: you can get your coffee fine tuned! They always say lmk if it needs more milk, coffee or sweetner. Can we say excellent customer service?! Definitely recommend!!
Delicious coffee. Very nice and knowledgeable staff
Fantastic cold brew. I love the haupia syrup and am excited that they have decaf cold brew.
Best coffee Ive ever had. Start with a tasting. Theyll keep a record of your previous orders in case you dont remember what temp, concentration, etc...
Love the aloha here. Cold brew is excellent. Awesome if you see the owner. Extremely knowledgeable and loves to talk about roasting and theories. The selection is unparalleled and the variety of addins is great!
Best coffee Ive had. Not sure why it in such a hole in the wall location in Bonita, but not complaining. I think it would make a killing in other locations, but this is where you get great hand crafted coffee, not super fast mediocre Starbucks. Not a place to go if youre in a rush.
Amazing Coffee & super friendly staff. Probably the best coffee I have had since living in Europe
Thank you so much for being near where I live! :)
The best place in San Diego!
Im a frequent regular who loves to go to this place to get coffee. They specialize in cold brew and they can adjust your coffee free of charge. The few problems I have in this place is that they frequently run out of supplies such as sweetener, milk, or certain coffee, so supplies are pretty limited. The parking for the plaza is really small and hard to get into sometimes. The baristas are all well-manered and patient. During rush hours, it may be slow but in my opinion, the coffee is worth the wait.
Unique place for coffee. Hawaiian blends being cold brewed which helps the brightness. $5 for a med and $6 for a large. Includes choice of coffee blends, sweetener, and milk.For me, Kona with almond milk and haupia for a little sweetness. They will add more to taste if needed.Go try and support a local business.
All Ive had was their cold brews and they are not on part with most of the roasters in San Diego. I asked for a pourover one time and the batista seemed to not know much. The cold brews do pack a good caffeine punch and the employees are nice.. Extra Star for that
This place is amazing. I highly recommend trying their coffee, be forever warned they are strong
If you want strong, potent coffee this is the place for you. Nitro Brew = 8 espresso shots. Or if you want $250 aged coffee. Be sure to ask for a coffee tasting if youre unsure.
Yummy coffee and very pleasant staff!Only 4 stars because it is very small, chairs arent that comfy.Take your time here!
Best cold brew around. Friendly staff that does everything possible to make sure you enjoy your coffee.
I consider a visit to be a once in a while indulgence, since There is no low price drip option here.They didnt have the roast that matches what Im after. Despite that, the amigo was attentive and knowledgeable, and generous with cold brew samples. I dig the independent vibe here.I tried the spiked cup which is cold brew steamed to bring it up to temp. Cant recommend the process unless you plan on killing it with cream and sugar, it brought out the bitters in my opinion. You could also try it with a lighter roast but I think the traditional method would yield a better cup.Cant say enough good things about the homemade coconut sweetener. That mellowed out the undesirable qualities of the spiked south Kona, and is awesome to sip on its own.
Very different than the usual coffee shops in town. They have a variety of Hawaiian coffees,teas and a creamer called haupia that is delicious!
Delicious coffee and very helpful baristas. Amazing selection of cold brews. They dont pull espresso shots like a typical coffee shop but have all of their coffee pre-made in cold brew form. A little different but doesnt affect the overall quality in my opinion. If you dig coconut dont pass up the haupia
Loved the service and the coffee is amazing (Oahu West)
Good coffee great people
Had a delicious, perfectly made coconut milk latte with coconut sugar here. Omg yummm!!!
Cozy nice find in Bonita & owner is awesome! A pleasant taste of the islands with premium coffee. Luv the nitro cold brew with haupia & coconut milk.. Delish!
Drinks are very good but service is slow
Best. Coffee. EVERRRRRRR
The coffee is always delicious! Its not your typical grab-and-go place, they actually take the time to make your coffee and they care about you liking it!
Excellent custom coffee options. Never going to Starbucks again.
Always friendly & helpful. Its an experience
The best coffee Ive ever had!! And the prices are great.
$1 espresso shots thatll perk you right up! Ask for their natural coconut flavoring as well!!!!
They have great selections of coffee
Great coffee with friendly, knowledgeable staff. If you havent been try the free cold brew flight before you decide.
Friendly/talkative staff. Divine coffee!
