Amazing olive bread however when ordering an egg sandwich the bread is so big that the sandwich needed more than one egg so you had egg in every bite. If not then there was only egg in about 1/2 the sandwich. Staff could have been friendlier but was fine. We stayed at the Westin so this location was extremely convenient. The coffee was amazing. I would go again.

Close to the courthouse with signs pointing the way to the cafe. Reasonable prices for the drinks. The charcoal mocha was very good and I returned a couple times after my jury duty was done for it. I didn't try any food so I can't comment on how it is. It gets a little crowded when the courthouse lets people go for lunch but there's some outdoor seating so it's not a big issue.

3.5 stars, rounded up to 4. Service was great, very friendly & quick. Lots of coffee latte options. I got the lavender tea latte and pork bowl. Both were tasty. However the reason I knocked a star off was the portion size seemed small for the price. However, it was conveniently located as I had been summoned for jury duty.

Food and coffee were great! Place is a bit small and feels tight during a morning rush. Employees were nice. Felt very clean. We sat outside to eat on their patio, which was nice as well. Only dropped down one star because portions felt small for the price.

Wrapping up a business trip to San Diego, I decided to stop in for a power breakfast at Kuma Cafe. The Yelp reviews were one deciding factor, along with the proximity to my hotel and the Santa Fe train station. I was immediately greeted by a very nice gentlemen, smiling and asking about my day. After looking over the menu for a few moments, I decided to go with the Breakfast Smoothie and Croissant Sandwich. I had a seat in one of the half dozen tables inside, next to a few counter seats. The place had a good, mellow energy vibe, abuzz with Friday morning customers grabbing their morning refreshments before making their way to the office or an early jump on the weekend. A few moments later, another extremely friendly gentleman brought out my order and served up my tasty looking items with a polite smile. The Breakfast Smoothie (Bananas, Protein, Granola, Cold Brew, Almond Milk) was up first. I was immediately blown away by the flavors as it wasn't like anything I have tasted before. A great balance of balance and brew, all with the power of protein in a very large cup. I really enjoyed it, not only for this flavor, but the perfectly blended ingredients. The Croissant Sandwich (Ham, Egg, Cheddar, Avocado, Garlic Aioli on an Artisan Croissant) was presented on a simple wood serving dish and was quite eye-catching. First impressions after the initial bite were immediately drawn to the wonderfully flaky croissant and delicious garlic aioli. Packed in with large amounts of smooshed avocado and hot egg, ham and melted cheese, and this medium sized breakfast was a home run. Kuma Cafe is a great family-owned artisan coffee house that also serves up delicious, homemade, customized small breakfast items. Stop by for a quick bite, stay for the friendly atmosphere and come back, again and again.

Cute little spot nestled amongst the skyscrapers. It's a grab and go style place but the seating area is inviting enough. We were really looking for a more sit down oriented place, but there's not many to be had in this area. We both had the XL Avo Toast, it was very well seasoned and delicious with generous chunks of artichoke, feta, and tomatoes. The garlic aioli was very fresh tasting and not at all overpowering, very good! That said the wood plate it came on has raised edges and makes it very difficult to cut. Luckily it's fairly rigid and doesn't get soggy so picking it up and eating it is a solid option. I got a drip coffee, and frankly I didn't like the blend at all, it tasted very cherry or chocolatey and I didn't finish it. We paid 40 dollars after a 5 dollar tip (the staff was very friendly) for both avocado toasts and two coffees. Making it a little on the spendy side but consider the location, and the times... Overall, would definitely recommend if you're in the area. :)

Kuma Cafe has excellent Açaí and Smoothies! Prices are a little more expensive being located in the heart of downtown but it is very good. Service is very friendly and store is very clean. I got the Golden Açaí and Matcha Smoothie. Highly recommend. You will find almond butter, bananas and caco nibs, and tumeric mixed berry sorbet in the Golden Acai! Matcha smoothie has a good consistency and thick.

Kuma was a great casual, quick stop. I enjoyed a pork bowl. I didn't see that it listed onions on the menu, but it did serves them as pickled on top. I would have preferred to remove that option (I likely didn't read it thoroughly). Flavor was nice, rice was a bit sticky and stuck to the bottom so it took some mixing. I enjoyed a smoothie, as it was fresh and made to order. I would definitely stop by again for more options here as I bet they are all good. I also ordered a dirty chai which comes with 2 shots in the medium size. Not too sweet, decent little chai. Staff was very nice and friendly. I said the food was for here and they brought it to go, and apologized and asked if they could swap the container/presentation which I declined. That made me feel like they do care about customer experience, which was very nice. I sat outside, which had around 4-5 small tables. Inside is also small so i'd imagine a lot of people are solo or get food to go. There was a friendly group of 3 on the patio when I was there, so as long as your group isn't too big I think everyone can enjoy this spot.

Great place for a quick breakfast before heading out for the day! I got the Kuma bowl, which has great flavored chicken with brown rice and quinoa for a healthy energetic start to the day. This is also a great post workout meal for plenty of protein as well. My only nitpick is that the chicken is a bit on the dry side. The Croissant sandwich is very tasty and the skin is nice and crisp! I love that they put avocado in it as well. And finally for the drink, I got an Iced Lavender latte with oatmilk. It tastes smooth, silky with the lavender taste just right. This is not too sweet and the coffee tastes very good!. Service is quick. Pay at cashier. Self serve clean up. Good music and nice indoor / outdoor seating for people watching!

Based on reviews I decided to try this café while waiting for my son to finish jury duty. I was glad to see a 30 minute parking spot in front. As soon as I walked in, I could see the menu above and a display of pastries by the register. No one else was in line, but I couldn't tell if they were ready for me to order, as the girl at the counter was quiet. When she looked directly at me for longer than a second, I gathered she was ready for me. Wanting something savory for breakfast, I decided upon the garlic avo toast. I already had coffee that morning, but got tempted into ordering the lavender fog latte as well because I can't resist anything lavender. After confirming it wasn't super sweet, just lightly sweet due to the lavender and vanilla syrups, I gave in. I sat and waited maybe 5 minutes for my order at one of the small tables inside. First, the latte was ready, which was exactly as promised - lightly sweet, hint of lavender but not strong, very balanced flavors. Then, when the toast was ready, which I had ordered to go, the girl called me and thanked me by name. It was wrapped nicely in a sandwich baggie with a napkin as well. Wow, I wish I could make avocado toast this well myself. The garlic was very fresh, tasted a bit pickled, but carefully sliced and very well distributed across the toast. The avocado was generous and well proportioned. The seasonings and sprouts were balanced as well, and I really liked that the toast was thin and crispy, which made it easy to bite and break cleanly, but not so much that it hurt my mouth, a pet peeve of mine. One of my takeaways from visiting Japan is that a lot of care and attention to detail is put into what is served, and this is apparent at Kuma Café as well. I'm definitely bookmarking this as a go-to when I'm in the area. Perhaps I won't be dreading jury duty after all if it means I get to come here!
