Cafe Bella

The inside was super slow/empty which was nice. The drive through seems like the busy area. A couple of outlets available. They had some vegan baked goods which is refreshing to see. Americano was good and the workers were friendly. Bathroom requires a code. Wifi is fast and password is available at counter.

Great service must try this place!!!! Amazing smoothies and great coffee. Best tasting coffee and lattes. Try the mango tango smoothie. Bagels are fresh. Best study place or hang out with friends!!!

I stopped into Cafe Bella before walking the four blocks home from the No.874 bus stop. It was too beautiful of a day to just go home! The staff treated me like I was royalty! I ordered a large decaf coffee w/ two pumps of sugar-free caramel syrup, a chicken empanada, a bag of jalapeño chips, and a glazed donut! The food was very tasty, and the drink was perfect after adding the half n half and sweetener. It's such a great respite (with lots of windows) that I could've stayed for hours! Treat yourself to the charm whether you want the air conditioning while working on your laptop or prefer to chill with friends on the attractive outdoor patio! There is even an easy drive-thru for the on-the-go patron. I'm blessed to live in the neighborhood! 😁

Great breakfast spot for a quick bite on the go. The staff was very friendly. I had the bacon, egg and cheese empanada 🥐🥓🍳🧀, a fanatic fruit cup 🍌🥭🍓🫐, a toasted Nutella bagel 🥯 🌰, oatmeal 🥣 a mocha hot cocoa🫕 and a dirty chair latte ☕️. Everyone enjoyed breakfast and will return soon!

We’ve tried many coffee shops & this one is the best coffee place yet! This is second time coming to this place & they did not disappoint again! From our blended coffees to the kid’s smoothies to the blueberry muffins, all was very good! Highly recommend! This needs to be a coffee shop that’s everywhere!

This is my favorite frappe coffee place in East San Diego!!!!! Excellent service and AMAZING drinks! The Chocolate Coffee Cake is a must try pastry 😋

Today I visited this coffee shop, and it was such a warm and welcoming experience. The staff was incredibly friendly, especially Faez, who made my visit even more enjoyable. The place was spotless, and the coffee was truly amazing! I tried the Vanilla Matcha Latte, Vanilla Latte, and Drip Coffee ☕️—each one was of outstanding quality. I highly recommend this spot to everyone. Don’t miss out!

The Hulk Smoothie=Yummy!! Our Favorite so far! & the bacon Empanadas are yummy too! It’s a cute shop! I love how they have nice seating outside if you want! Love how they have dairy free options and healthy options too!

Unassuming coffee stop with sit-in and drive thru service. Friendly staff and open seating area makes it a great place to sit and get some work done or grab a quick bite. The varied menu includes pastries, bagel sandwiches and acai bowls. They also have various coffees, smoothies and non caffeinated drinks. I tried the "funky monkey" which had coffee banana and peanut butter, it was delicious and not overly sweetened. 👍

Vietnamese Coffee was Delicious. Service was prompt and friendly. My family also bought some yummy baked goods they had available.

I came here on 7/4/21 and it was great! I didn’t get anything because I had already ate but my sister got their smoothie where you put two ingredients and they mix them together. She thought it was delicious! She also got the breakfast bagel and that was phenomenal! She loved it! Overall, the food was great! Also happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸 🎉

I'm a visitor in town and decided to stop at this coffee house. Good coffee and at a better price than most coffee houses. Staff was nice and had my order ready right away. Will stop by again

Cafe Bella is a charming spot that's quickly becoming my go-to for morning fuel. The coffee is consistently great – rich, flavorful, and they know how to make a proper latte. But the real star of the show is their breakfast sandwiches. They're made with fresh ingredients, perfectly toasted bread, and the fillings are always generous. Whether you're in the mood for a classic bacon, egg, and cheese or something a bit more adventurous, Cafe Bella has you covered. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it a great place to start your day or catch up with friends. The service is always friendly and efficient, even during the morning rush. You can tell they care about the quality of their food and coffee. Plus, they offer a variety of pastries and other treats if you're looking for something sweet to go with your coffee. Overall, Cafe Bella is a fantastic little cafe that's well worth a visit. The combination of great coffee, delicious breakfast sandwiches, and a welcoming atmosphere makes it a standout in the neighborhood. I highly recommend checking it out!

Been meaning to try this spot and finally got the craving for a bagel. I ordered a salmon bagel ($9.50) and my friend ordered two stuffed croissants ($6.50 each). Salmon bagel: on first glance I thought they robbed me but after my first bite I was pleased. It looked like they only gave me slivers of salmon, but they stuffed bits of it on the top and bottom piece. That thing was evenly blended with all ingredients. Only note is not much cream cheese but I’m biased because I’m a cream cheese addict lol. Would definitely recommend Stuffed croissants: they did not look or taste the best. Both were Soggy mush in the center and crispy on the outside. Favorite parts were the burnt pieces around the thing, not a fan of the filling. The cheese reminded me of low quality mashed potatoes. Would not recommend.

We waited 25 minutes for 2 bagels, bacon and sausage and 1 empanada and one petiya smoothie on a Saturday morning 7/19/25. I think that's an outrageous amount of time. Then when the bagel came, the egg they microwave inside of it, was still refrigerator cold in the middle and had to be returned. The food was decent, but I'm never going to wait 25 minutes for microwaved meat bagels so either I won't be back or I would come midday on a weekday. The employees are not lounging around, they're working exceptionally hard, but it's clear to me that the owner of this restaurant, does not support them with the amount of equipment in the bulk serving sizes that they need. Perhaps you should make your kitchen larger and the waiting room smaller to fit extra staff and equipment. Quit microwaving stuff.

This was a nice cafe! The matcha was okay, but the coffee was amazing! Not the best customer service; they weren’t super prepared with materials, like they couldn’t make iced coffee. But for the most part I’d definitely stop by here again! :)

Was a regular loyal customer until today. I just picked this coffee up 5 mins ago. look at the ice . its watered down and taste like milk because they gave me an old order that probably wasnt picked up or mistakenly made HOURS AGO. I ordered a Vietnamese, thats how i know they gave me someone’s old coffee because this has no condensed milk.

Wheel chair accessible is a positive. I do not appreciate being served rotten fruit however. The banana in my smoothie was beyond ripe and had an off taste. I wasn’t going to fight construction to go back and argue against the rude staff for a refund. I’m very disappointed and reminded of why we don’t support smaller businesses like Cafe Bella. Jamba Juice will be the only place I go from here on out, they’ve never given me rotten produce to cut corners.

I visited Café Bella today, and my experience was very disappointing. The staff member who attended us was extremely rude and disrespectful. Because of the poor service and the bad coffee, I will definitely not be returning to this place.
