“ I stopped by here to decompress after washing my car and get some work done on my laptop. I must say this will be my new haunt on weekends I got in a bit early and the place was rather empty some people reading some meditating I set up in the back and began to get work done while enjoying an expertly crafted latte. This place was very calm and has great internet. Some street parking was available but I got lucky a spot right out front and was here for several hours. Cloudy day warm coffee clean car and the computer. What a dream ”
“ My wife and I booked The Template for our wedding Welcome Dinner. IT WAS AWESOME! The staff was great, and the vibes are amazing. They easily accommodated our 75 person event, and were able to help us adjust tables chairs and spacing so everyone felt welcome. This is a really fun place. I would definitely rent the venue again! (Also the coffee is great!) ”

“ Love the vibes inside and out! Good variety of drinks. ”
“ Very fun and cute place to grab coffee and take time to enjoy. This is definitely one of most interesting coffee shops I’ve ever been, the decorations are so cool and unique. I see people enjoy working at here, since they have nice seats and couches. They also had a maker’s market the day I went there. The drinks are pretty nice too, I will recommend here for sure. ”
“ Amazing Kava drinks. My favorite is the Kava Sunshine with coconut milk. Love that they don’t up charge for coconut milk and an extra shot of Kava is only like 1.25. Very comfy chairs, calm atmosphere. ”
“ Such a cool cafe filled with friendly faces, incredible drinks, and a constant flow of creativity. Close to the beach but just far enough from the chaos to be peaceful and productive. Some of the best live music and art in San Diego! ”
