Em Coffee House - San Diego, California

Had a delightful experience! So many good options it’s hard to choose. The menu location isn’t the best placement. But the person at the counter recommended the white trufflemisu and it didn’t disappoint! Cute decor. Spacious and clean indoor seating. No line when I went Sunday morning @9:30. Ample parking. Definitely worth checking out if you like Vietnamese coffee!

Finally checked this place out last night and it did not disappoint. They have a wide range of drinks to choose from and everything is so decently priced! Ordered the Em Coffee Flight and it was amazing. You get to choose all 4 drinks which is a big plus on this order and for the price you can’t beat it. The drinks we got all tasted delicious and were gorgeous, can’t wait to try more. It’s located in a good area and it’s roomy inside with a few tables but it does fill up fast. The girls working last night were absolutely friendly and helpful.

This coffee shop has pretty aesthetics, a lot of seating and is very spacious. The staff are all very friendly. I got to try their new banana matcha series and it was very delicious. I also got their customized flight where you can choose four drinks some different categories. It was really good!

Enter into an oasis to delight the senses and leave the daily grind outside. Em Coffee House is pleasantly, simply elegant. From comfy tasty drinks and eats to comfy seats to friendly staff, this is a coffee home. Kudos to the tasteful displays. The drinks were beautifully crafted, the waffle bears tasty. Making this a weekly tradition.

Soft opening so some hiccups are expected. The service was very friendly, A+ there. That said, they didn’t seem to know the menu or point of sale system well, and made numerous errors while we tried to order. They also ran out of two out of the three drinks and we had to change our order after waiting for approximately 15 minutes. Like I said, this is a brand new store so we expected some growing pains. The drinks and quality of the ingredients are top notch and I’ll definitely be back.

I love Vietnamese Coffee.
They got old schools and new school coffee. Robusta and Arabica.

The first thing that caught my eye was the beautiful paint color and European-inspired decor. The dishes are vibrant and visually appealing, clearly catering to a younger crowd, though the prices are on the higher side.
The cafe also offers a nice selection of European teas and strong Vietnamese-style filter coffee, with both Robusta and Arabica options.
There’s plenty of seating inside and lots of parking outside, making it a convenient spot.

I love their strawberry matcha. It’s on the expensive side (currently 8$) however it’s my favorite matcha I’ve had in San Diego so far! It’s not diluted and rich.

Em took over Republik! It’s now a Vietnamese coffee shop with beautiful seating inside. Its velvety blue and gold vibes make the place seem elevated! It shares the same parking lot as Seafood City.

There is a giant menu on the wall, but they had QR codes for an online version. This was helpful because I could check their offerings while I was waiting in line.

On a Monday morning, I found myself leaning toward an egg coffee. However the closest thing on the menu was the egg biscoff. The server offered to remove the biscoff to just get an egg coffee, but there was no price adjustment. I also got an almond chocolate croissant. The first bite tasted so good warmed up. Then, to my surprise, there was almond paste in the middle, instead of shaved almond slices. I don’t think I’d get that again because I am not a fan of sweet almond paste.

Credit card and Apple Pay is accepted! (However it doesn’t code as “dining”. Just an FYI for people trying to make use of their credit cards.)
