Little Nap Cafe

We were in the area for an event and needed to kill some time. This cafe was within walking distance. They have a good offering of coffee, Boba, smoothies, teas and even Haikaido soft serve ice cream. It's pretty small inside. The staff was nice and we liked our drinks. We had a vanilla latte and chai latte iced with oat milk. Street parking only.. not surprising for the area though.

Great service ! I loved the mango tea drink and the Boas they have. The server was nice and brought the food up when I was not paying attention

We tried the Hawaiian Blend fruit tea and Peach Nectar fruit tea! Both were so yummy but the Peach Nectar was just a little sweeter so I liked that one the best. We also got a Crunchy Rainbow Sandwich - I’m a sucker for sprouts on my sandos so this was perfect 😍 I definitely recommend for vegans and non vegans!

I think it must be impossible not to want to take photos of the treats you order at Little Nap Cafe. Everything is a visually feast for the eyes first - then to taste. All three of our treats were quite superb and would order them again. It’s a large menu, so we have lots of treats to still try.

Super good and owners/workers are the nicest!! Their prices are very honest and their menu has a nice variety of choice. I really liked both their taro milk tea and frappé! I honestly really hope this place will stick around 🤞 EDIT: This became my very favorite boba place for quite a while, kept me going during the pandemic! My absolute favorite flavors are "purple moon" and the "panda slush"....SO GOOD! I moved to Portland OR now, and I miss them already...

The drinks here are so yummy and especially pretty/photogenic too. We got The Nap and Ube Milk. The Nap was sweeter. Their store is cute with an aesthetic wall. The customer service was exceptional and friendly. Will definitely be back!

We got the brown sugar and the Vietnamese coffee and both were good. Vietnamese coffee was strong and sweet. Service was good and the place was cute and clean.

With boba becoming an ever-growing national craze, I was surprised to find that Little Nap Cafe was just about the only boba shop present in the Hillcrest area. Even so, I must say their drinks really do speak for themselves. My go-to drink here is their T.G.I.F which is a lychee green tea with honey boba and lychee jelly. I always enjoy the crisp, refreshing flavor of their lychee green tea and paired with the topics, it's the perfect beverage for a warm day in San Diego. They also have a selection of milk teas and soft serves. Of note, their menu has been reduced in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and ordering is primarily done via the self-serve kiosk up front. It's super easy to use, just tap through to select your drinks/customizations and pay. Then once your drink is ready, you can just pick up and go! Can it get any more convenient than that? The staff here are super friendly and the interior is absolutely beautiful. If you're in the Hillcrest area and looking for something to quench your first, I highly recommend giving Little Nap Cafe a try. Not only will you get a tasty drink, but also you'll be supporting a small locally owned business!

Staff is always very kind. Food and drinks are reasonably priced, and the desserts are really unique and delicious. A favorite spot when I'm in the area. Never seems to be terribly busy. Good place all around. 🤗

Great sandwiches but parking can be challenging. Peach drink was so good. Going back to try the rest.

Came in here once for Boba a while back and it was great. Came in here recently this weekend and was in for a frappe and the man working offered me his own spin on the drink I ordered, something cooking in the lab so to speak, and after trying it I will be back. Service is good, the guy working solo was definitely doing his job because the drinks were really good especially my PB&J frappe, 5 big booms out of 5, will be coming back.

Such a fantastic spot! I frequently get little sweet treats from here and every time it’s amazing! My favorite is their Oreo mint frappe but i’ve never had a bad drink here. The service is quick and friendly. Its within walking distance for me but if you are driving parking is a little hard

Good place to get a refreshing boba drink when you have that craving. Thru limit the amount of people at a time inside due to covid. I had the honey mango black tea with boba. It definitely helped satisfied my thirst. They also have some soft serve which I didn't pay attention to. I will have to try it next time I'm in town.

I tried a couple of options from the menu. I don't know what they are called but they did taste good. I though it was a little over priced but I understand they gots to pay the rent. Peanut butter and banana smoothie was average. It could have used a little more banana and less peanut butter. I would go back and try something else. I know that I didn't order something that is more their specialty. The exotic ice cream desserts sound tasty.

Ordered a lavender milk tea with boba and a mango passion fruit lemonade here. The milk tea was okay. The tea flavor was nice but the after taste was a bit bitter and left my mouth dry. The boba texture wasn't great either. It was mushy and felt like it had been sitting out for too long. The lemonade was really tasty though. Incredibly refreshing! Food: 6/10 Price: 8/10 Service: 7/10 The server started taking the person behind us order while she was finishing ringing us up. Kinda felt odd since we were the only two people inside, so the rush didn't feel necessary.

I was new to town and was looking for a boba spot. I found this location on Yelp and trusted that it was a good place to grab a quick drink. Unfortunately, they didn't have the soft serve or parfaits which I was hoping to try. Service was okay and the store is small. Atmosphere of the store was also quiet. As for the drink, I had the Matcha Milk Tea with Lychee Jelly and it was decent. I tasted more of the Lychee Jelly flavor than the Matcha itself.

Service was amazing & it’s a cute spot. Parking does kind of suck but that most places in the area. I think this place would stand out if they had better tea to use with their milk teas. The boba itself was the right texture & the drink tasted good. I just couldn’t really taste any tea. It just tasted like mango milk.

$5.99 for a milk tea, $0.75 for boba topping, $1 extra for a large cup. I asked for no ice and the server told me that would be $1 extra so I said I will take less ice. My cup of boba milk tea was $8.44 with tax, and more than HALF the cup was ice. This is how much ice left AFTER I finished the milk tea. I was appalled. I am from the SF Bay Area, and I'm used to paying $7-8 for a cup of milk tea, but this was ridiculous. Never going back here for a milk tea unless I feel like throwing away my money. We also got 2 pc bao's which were tasty, but also pretty pricey. The baos I can live with, but the milk tea was just too ridiculous. Can you imagine if I didn't ask for LESS ice? Would it just be a cup of ice for me?

This boba ruined my day. Ordered lunch and drinks online for pick up. Finally found parking and there is a sign on the door says store is closed. Apparently the store has been closed the past three days. Please update store closing with Google and your vendors. I’m hungry and need a refund. Very frustrating when your lunch break is ruined.
