This place has been here for a while.
My mom has lived about a mile away for YEARS! And for some reason I just tried this place for the first time this month
It’s a super small, drive thru coffee shop right off the 8 freeway. I got the Iced Salted Caramel Mocha Latte. It was good, but oh so sweet! I probably should’ve gotten it hot though, that’s my fault. My husband got the hot apple cider and he said it was “SO DAMN GOOD!”
So if you’re in the area I would definitely recommend giving them a try.

Walked up to order two 16oz drinks. My partner’s drink – Mexican mocha was delicious. I was looking at the Frappuccino and asked about their flavors (white mocha vs cappuccino). I settled with the cappuccino w/ almond milk. She may not heard me and gave me a regular hot cappuccino. I wasn’t asked if I wanted hot or iced so I was sad I didn’t get what I wanted. My other concern is that I asked for 16oz and received a 2/3 drink. Very much lighter than my partner’s drink. It also tasted burnt and not drinkable Disappointing.

I had a bad experience today with the manager. I am a disabled retired veteran and I parked on the handicapped spot to order coffee. A young girl asked me to move my car so she can get out. I told her that she can go out the other exit which was completely open. She insisted that I needed to move and I said after I order my coffee I will do it. She went inside the coffee shop and told me that she was the manager and that I wasn’t going to order any coffee and slammed the window in my face. She said that she was going to called the police. I waited a little bit but police never came, we decided to head to SD and celebrate Father’s Day.

I was happy to find a drive-thru coffee shop right off the I-8 in what sometimes feels like the middle of nowhere. I was also happy to find out they’re a good coffee shop in what feels like the middle of nowhere. The sole employee early in the morning worked her tail off to cut down the line. She was very nice, personable, and patient. Their iced Mexican mocha with oat milk was a perfect compliment to their muffins.

I was amazed when I saw this coffee shop on tv during padres game.
I told my son to drove me all the way up there.
There’s a long line on the drive thru lane so we decided to take walk up order.
I got caramel mocciatto and it was great.got a chance to speak to the lady that I saw in the interview. She’s nice.

This the best place for coffee in Alpine, CA! Off the I-8 Tavern Rd. exit, on the north side of the freeway by the Shell station. It is far superior in quality and price to Starbucks. The employees are friendly and efficient. Highly recommend!

Did our pilgrimage out to Cafe Adesso after Java Joe’s No-No. We got the Joe Musgrove #44 Vanilla Iced Coffee. AMAZING!! Definitely surprised at how much we liked it. Even met Diane which was a nice added bonus.

conveniently right off the highway at the gas station. loved their seasonal drinks, especially #44 (cold brew with vanilla). it was definitely worth the drive out to Alpine from North County! (:
