Copa Vida - San Marcos - San Marcos, California

I love coming here - they have some of the best seasonal lattes. Both their pumpkin and their gingerbread lattes are the best (better than any Starbucks, Dunkin, or other local shop). Their hours are limited, so I make sure to get there before the 3pm farmers market on Tuesdays. They have a great outdoor patio if you want to sit outside too. Their breakfast burritos are actually pretty big and tasty! The sandwiches are on the smaller side, but make for a nice healthy option for breakfast or lunch. I love the arugula and fresher ingredients on the sandwiches. They have a variety of pastries, I think the different types of croissants are the best. The vanilla bean croissant, raspberry, and chocolate are all pretty tasty, and the seasonal pastries are good too. Support local!!! Tip well!!! (Some thief stole their tip jar today... and the employees are so nice and usually the same people. They get to know your name!)

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.

New place for me. Nice friendly vibe, definitely student friendly. Good place to meet for a cuppa. Cold brew was a little weaker than I expected. But a welcome refresher on a hot day.

I like this place, better than Starbucks ☺️☕️🍵 if you try it the first time, it doesn't seem very tasty, but if you try it a second time, it's very tasty, I recommend it. I wish everyone a good time in this coffee shop 🫂🫶🏼

Food is high quality. Cold brew tea is awesome. Establishment is clean. Joey’s my hero.

I’m a bit of a coffee snob, but the coffee is very good and the vegan burrito is delicious!
