Copa Vida Carmel Valley - S San Diego

Drinks are quite pricey it's hard to get a drink for under $6. It is located by the corner of a main road, but is shielded in by plants and other scenery. The drink I wanted was sold out, and I went in the morning. The iced mocha I got instead was not super strong and not very flavorful. But, if you're a student there's many places to sit and study, so it is a convenient cafe for people who live in the area.Parking: Many spaces, a free parking garage if needed, with limited spaces there.

It's located in a nice quiet neighborhood in Carmel Valley. It has great interior and lots of seating. Great to hangout with friends and study. I got the almond croissant and lavender latte and it was delightful. I'll definitely come back.Food: 5/5

Saying goodbye to this place is like saying goodbye to an old friend. The food used to be extremely high quality for a cafe, the drinks were great, and the ambiance made for a very relaxing time. I had been so many times in the past few years and I was always blown away by the breakfast burritos and chilaques. Honestly still trying to find a better chilaquiles place.Fast forward and now you don 't even want to look at the food. I went back a couple months ago and didn 't recognize the frozen burrito in the to-go box. I noticed another person experiencing the same shock and we bonded over the good old days haha. Anyway it 's not worth it anymore, they kept the same prices for lower quality items. I 've read the other recent reviews and completely agree. Sad to see you go old friend!

I love coming here to hang out. The coffee is great, they have awesome food, and plenty of seating — both indoors and outdoors. There’s also ample parking, so easy for meeting up with friends! Recommend the bacon brekkie sandwich, it’s amazing.

We used to love this cafe. They had most delicious burritos, soups and bakery. Don’t know what happened but they changed the menu completely and started to preorder burritos from outside and then just heat it up. Last 2 times we tried those burritos it was disgusting, cold and raw looking sausage. We hopped we can get a soup instead but it’s no longer available.Sad, it was a great place to grab breakfast.Side note: stuff is great!
