"Always out of lemonade and they never realize until after charging you, so I’m having a $7 matcha with water. Staff is super friendly but probably just incompetent management."

"I attended a conference all week and found myself returning to this shop frequently, as it was the only place open and significantly better than what was being served at our event. Despite being somewhat overpriced, many of my colleagues and I visited each morning, largely due to the exceptionally friendly staff, who were remarkably cheerful despite the early hour. The shop was very clean, with ample seating outside. Contrary to some previous reviews claiming it was dirty, we found it spotless. The ambiance was inviting, making it an excellent spot for a quick breakfast or coffee break. I highly recommend this place if you are on the UCSD campus. The combination of friendly service, cleanliness, and a pleasant atmosphere makes it a standout choice among campus eateries."

"love this place so so so much! i come here like almost every day to get a london fog with lavender and my bf gets a brulee mint. always so generous, prices are pretty cheap, and drinks are done pretty fast. the staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the decor just makes for a very comfy studying environment."

"their Americanos are so watery and it's almost def bc they use a double shot w/ water instead of 3 shots 😃 biggest pet peeve--16oz anything needs 3. love these guys though, the space is lovely and the coffee tastes great"

"Updating my previous review below. The quality of their coffee drinks has dropped. It’s a busy place and they’re very rushed and unfortunately it shows. I also got a crappy latte when they weren’t busy. Earlier review: It’s a game-changer that Copa Vida is in this convenient spot! Excellent coffee drinks."
