Customers appreciate the innovative menu items and the option to sample multiple beverages through coffee flights.

Friendly and helpful staff enhance the overall customer experience, providing recommendations that align well with the diverse menu. While pricing is considered slightly on the higher side by some patrons, the quality of the drinks is often regarded as justifying the cost.

I love their strawberry matcha. It’s on the expensive side (currently 8$) however it’s my favorite matcha I’ve had in San Diego so far! It’s not diluted and rich.

Ordered the Iced Caramel Macchiato and it costed me $6.73. Too much milk taste and not enough coffee. Inside looks pretty good but all available seats and table are dirty. Overall, price isn’t bad and coffee is decent. I wish they would clean the tables.

Had a delightful experience! So many good options it’s hard to choose. The menu location isn’t the best placement. But the person at the counter recommended the white trufflemisu and it didn’t disappoint! Cute decor. Spacious and clean indoor seating. No line when I went Sunday morning @9:30. Ample parking. Definitely worth checking out if you like Vietnamese coffee!

This coffee shop has pretty aesthetics, a lot of seating and is very spacious. The staff are all very friendly. I got to try their new banana matcha series and it was very delicious. I also got their customized flight where you can choose four drinks some different categories. It was really good!

I love how unique the coffee drinks at Em are! Their coffee flight is a great way to try their big hits, but my favorite is the Pandan Cream Coffee Latte. Can't wait until my next visit!

Nice place for studying and strong Vietnamese coffee. I love their bear waffle with custard. I tried their egg biscoff brûlée drink today and it was way too sweet. Not sure if I like it. Got a bunch of custard waffle bears though!

This is NOT a review of the drinks, because I didn’t order one. The coffee shop is clean and tucked away in a plaza that isn’t too busy, although when I went on a random Tuesday morning the coffeeshop was still crowded. There are enough small tables, but nothing suitable for large groups. The place is nice and well-lit, and the barista is friendly and the WiFi is fast. The WiFi speed is about 400 Mbps down and 8 Mbps up. There are power outlets along the wall, and parking is easy to find. The bear cheese thing was also pretty tasty, which is what I ordered. Since I didn’t order coffee at a coffee shop, this is kind of a footnote to me. Maybe I’ll come back and try the coffee sometime!

Friends got the coffee flight with Viet iced coffee, milk tea, super coconut, and white truffle misu to share. Personal drinks were biscoff egg coffee and pandan cream. I personally really like the basic ca phe sua da and the super coconut ice cream from em creations; the milk tea was ok and the white truffle misu was too creamy for me. Would probably skip the coffee flight or any creamy drinks and just go for the basics next time. Viet iced coffee is best!
