"Great small coffee shop just outside Balboa Park. The drinks are sweetened with honey rather than sugar so you can enjoy a guilt free sweet beverage. Super small inside with just a couple small tables with additional seating outside. Well worth the visit."

"Small little place that serves good coffee. Got myself a flat white which was overall pretty good. There wasn't anything notable about the place as it's a small bar and just a couple of tables, but that didn't matter as the coffee was good and better than most!"

"Such good matcha here! The team takes great care in creating your drink and it compares to some of the matcha I had in Japan. Def a top matcha recommendation in SD, not too milky and bright flavor!"

"Definitely a hole-in-the-wall type of shop. The counter area looks unfinished. Maybe if they put some art or a mural on the walls, it would help? They sell merch, which was a bit of a surprise given how tiny they are. Looks like a homemade set up, but the barista was very friendly, and the coffee was excellent."

"THE best coffee in San Diego. Hands down, no contest. Even when some places got close, we always chose to come back to Iconic Coffee Club! The coffee is incredible - delicious roasts, and both the menu mainstays and the seasonal drinks are DELICIOUS! Perfect ratio of earthy bitterness bwtq"

"Super cute little coffee shop! Nice environment with indoor and outdoor seating. Excellent coffee on its own plus, fun and creative seasonal drinks. We got a cortado for here and an iced strawberry honey latte to go with it. I also snagged a cute smiley shirt which was actually reasonably priced. Must try!"
