Been here a couple times and it is always amazing! The staff is so friendly, the drinks are delicious and the food is excellent. This will definitely be my regular coffee spot now. Love that we got such a cool coffee shop in Lakeside!
Came here today for the first time. Great coffee, black Americano cannot be beat. A fresh fruit and veg smoothie was like no other. Will have to try the bagel and lox next time. Relaxing/ cool atmosphere while waiting for my order. Will be back! Thanks gals.
So happy this place opened. I always thought Lakeside could use a nice coffee spot, and Lakeside Social delivered! Great location, great vibe/theme and extensive menu. We got the Neon Moon, Lindo Lake Lox and the Lakeside Lasso. They're still working out the kinks of being newly opened, but the food and drinks were delicious and the staff took great care of us and were very appreciative. Looking forward to my new breakfast/hangout/study spot!
I went to lakeside social to grab a bite to eat and a drink during my lunch yesterday, the service was amazing and the food was outstanding! I went alone to button up my last min things for my wedding and I needed some space to decompress and relax- this was just the space Lakeside Social gave! It was cozy and inviting, the atmosphere is so comfortable! I love that there is a place like this in my little home town! It is much needed! Oh and before I forget- the prices are incredible, so affordable and the sandwiches are to die for! Thank you Lakeside Social for such a cute and happy lunch spot!
Never a problem here. Speedy and congenial service with a smile. Flying donkey is my go to. Good selection of pastries. Double punches on drinks Tuesdays and comfy seating areas to work or chat with friends!
As a barista and coffee lover, I was so excited to see we have a new local shop to try! I got a cortado. Milk was perfectly steamed and I could tell the shot was pulled well. The coffee here is a darker roast and I personally prefer lighter roasted coffee however, it was still delicious! Staff is attentive, kind and helpful. Decor and seating is so cute and comfortable. I'd love to try their food sometime as the menu looks tasty. I highly recommend this shop!
I was happy to see this adorable addition to our town! I have heard good things and finally got to stop by to check it out. Friendly service. Cute vibe. I ordered a breakfast sandwich, a bagel, and a cortado- All were delicious! I'll be back 😊
From the owners of the Santos Coffee House in North Park, they bring this community oriented coffee house in the heart of Lakeside in East County, San Diego. They roast their own coffee and it's some good stuff indeed. I had a dark roast with my Cafe au Lait and it was great. It was full bodied and offers a strong robust flavor, yet smoothed to drink. They also offer a variety of breakfast and lunch items. To enjoyed with my coffee, I ordered the "Outlaw" bagel sandwich. The offer a large variety of bagels and I went with the whole wheat. The outlaw came with the bagel, pesto cream cheese, fresh tomatoes for $7.50. The bagel sandwich was delicious and I really enjoyed the texture of the wheat bagel. The service was great. The people here were very welcoming and were not shy to strike up a conversation. They offer a good amount of parking. This place is a great addition to the community of Lakeside, Ca.
It’s a long line when it’s busy, but that’s SO worth it! (They do a great job putting everything together). If I had to say just one thing…it would be to GET THE DANG BANANA BREAD CHAI FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. IT IS SO GOOD. Aside from that, everyone is super sweet and the vibes are amazing! The only downside is the parking lot, but that’s not something that the business can do anything about. 10/10!!!!
This is such a great addition to lakeside. I went with no expectations and have already returned at least 5 times. Environment is relaxing. The coffees are imaginative. The naming for most of the menu leans into the Lakeside area. Pricing on some items is a little high but worth it to support a local business. Favorite has been the cinnamon roll latte iced. They offer 4 different sizes.
