"Best coffee in San Marcos! Awesome team working here, warm friendly engaging. Nice indoor or covered outdoor seating options. Watch the time on street parking, they do ticket and it’s pricey! ☕️☕️"

"Great college spot to grab a coffee and light bite. It's nice to sit on the large patio as well. They have the best seasonal coffees I've had (their pumpkin spice, gingerbread, lavender), all better and more flavorful than Starbucks or any corporate brand. The prices are average, and they only have 1 size drink for hot or iced on the smaller size, like 12oz. I bring my large cup in and add a shot to fill a larger size. The food is really good. I love the brekkie sandwiches with arugula, and the breakfast burritos are a great size. The food is pretty fresh, and they heat it in the oven, which can take like 5 minutes to heat or toast. The baked goods are great, too, and they have some unique items that can also be toasted. Thankfully, nothing is microwaved. It's usually the same people working, which is great as they'll get to know you! Joey is really nice and helpful, and runs the music, so request some songs!"

"This coffee shop should have more than 4 consumer review stars. Great cold brew, ambiance, and friendly staff in a nice neighborhood. Highly recommended for work, a quick bite, or a coffee date."

"Very disappointed with the food and quality of the drinks. I love going to the other copa vidas, but this one is sub par. The espresso was burned and my GF’s drink was mostly ice. Drinks were also overly expensive I spent $12 on a microwaved breakfast burrito. The first clue was that the cheese was lava hot and burned my mouth on the first bite. The biggest indicator, though, was that the tortilla was crusty and crumbly on top and soft and gooey on the bottom. Also, the other copa vidas have fresh arugula in the burrito but this one only had “chives” (I only saw one small fleck of green in the burrito I received). It makes sense that this one won’t have arugula in it (fresh or otherwise) because the microwave would make it even grosser. Also, they got rid of all gluten free breakfast options like the chilaquiles. So enjoy the hummus bowl I guess."

"I enjoy bold and dark coffee without creams or sugars. Their iced Americano had a flavor and color more similar to iced tea than actual coffee. They were kind enough to add another shot of what they call espresso but it ended up tasting like a stronger iced tea. I'm certain they just used coffee beans rather than espresso beans for the drink. Nice interior and kind staff, though."
