Their cold brew was great. Service and ambiance was amazing. Didn't love their latte (too sweet) and they weren't making the Vietnamese coffee that we wanted to try unfortunately!

Came here for our breakfast coffee before brunch, and we ordered our usual drinks than their filipino concoctions you see everywhere on social media. We missed the memo, lol. Their Vietnamese iced coffee is decent, got 2 shots of espresso added and it kept my energy up there til 5pm surviving the safari. This was still on the sweet side and less coffee taste, so heads up. Very clean inside- shows how much they care for the joint. service straight forward and nice, they had banana milk on their menu but almond and chocolate Oat milk is where I draw the line for making milk out of xyz and other concoctions imaginable lol (respect my preferences). My sisters liked their choconana cold brew (not pictured) and the campfire mocha, both were balanced with sugar to coffee notes in my opinion. Will probably come by here again if in the arra and to support my filipino roots.

One of my Filipino friend groups via Insta shared a reel from this company. Of course, our eyes were tuned into their Filipino items. I had a hair appointment at Bellus Academy in Poway and mapped where there would be a closer Mostra coffee place. Found this location was the closest one. Very cute ambiance inside and great customer service. I decided to get an Ube Cookie and Bibingka Creme Brulee Latte (going all out with the Filipino items). The Ube Cookie was not too bad especially when it was warmed up. I was driving to pick up my daughter so I wasn't able to finish the cookie while it was still warm. I should have ordered a different drink instead of having two coconut items as the Bibingka one contained it as well. The coffee was actually pretty good. I ordered a decaf one. I had a chance to talk to one of the workers and asked what was the history of the Filipino items on the menu. She mentioned that the owners are Filipino and it started off in a garage not too far from this location. Now, they are getting ready to open their 5th location in Miramesa. I told her that it was my first time due to the Insta post and relayed it would be nice to have one in the North County like in the span of 78 fwy. I will come back and try their Mocha as that's my usual drink. I'll go to the RB location as that's the closest one to me.

I tried the creme brûlée latte and wanted it iced but they could only make it hot (not complaining just informing) and I really liked the crunchy torched sugar on top. I would try the bibingka creme brulee latte next time or an iced latte option. There was a super long line when I was here Sunday morning but the drinks came out relatively quickly. There is a lot of indoor seating here so this is a nice place to hang out if you want to drink your coffee there. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in San Diego.

It's a cute coffee shop on the way from our hotel to my daughter's football tournament. I tried their creme brulee latte which they recommended over the coconut cold brew. I subbed almond milk. It was good. Not too sweet nor bitter. Hubs said the Vietnamese coffee was the worst he has had. My son said the ube latte (caffeine free with 2% milk) was just ok. Nothing notable.

This was a new location that I was excited to check out, my first experience with Mostra was amazing and I was intrigued by more menu items! This location is much bigger than the location on bankers hill with more open space and seating options, plenty of people with computers doing work and the ambiance is very chill yet perfect as a workspace. The baristas were very kind to take my order as well as help me with the wifi, will definitely be coming back!!

I was disappointed to see that they use chocolate syrup in the mocha instead of a chocolate powder for an Italian named coffee shop. I had to get a latte instead. The seatings are limited and not everyone can sit due to the crowdedness of the place. Overall, it's a very cute and thoughtfully designed place. I recommend visiting when it's less crowded.

This was my dad's favorite coffee spot. Today, I recommended that we go here because he enjoyed it and I wanted to share the deliciousness with my out of town family. Usually I would get their salted caramel latte or one of the crème brûlée drinks. But this time I decided to be adventurous and order the iced blueberry pancake latte. It was served beautifully with crunchy nugget ice. My aunt got me regular milk, but it's great to note that they have a big list of alternative milks as well. This drink tasted like a blueberry muffin. The blueberry powder and confectioners sugar on top of the latte was a lovely addition. In comparison, this reminded me of a latte that I get in La Mesa, at Public Square Coffee House. It reminded me of their Blackberry Lavender Latte in a way, I think it was because of the blitzed powders. My great aunt ordered a hot salted caramel latte. She said it was nice and strong, but the latte wasn't very hot. She said it was just warmed. My great uncle had a hot regular caramel latte with beautiful caramel drizzle decoration on top. He said it was good as well, but also hot as hot as he would prefer it. The service was great and the music wasn't too loud. I was surprised that there were actually open seating today! I loved the communal table it was nice and not cluttered. There's warm lighting inside which is lovely. And the bathrooms were clean and the lock works great. They even had a little advertisement of their strawberry matcha drink inside the bathroom. I highly recommend this coffee place to everyone. Especially if you have family or friends that are visiting, bring them here!

What a cool coffee shop we stumbled upon on our way to The Stand. Well...we decided to stop by here after we ate our lunch. There's teas, coffees, and steamers. Pretty cool...any flavor adults have for their latte the same flavor comes in steamers for the kids! Today we ordered the campfire mocha (always need to try every coffee shops mocha) and one bra-zillion coconuts cold brew. Both were equally tasty. Service was fantastic. These baristas know their coffee, so way to go on hiring these employees. Ambiance is super cute. I wish we had time to relax and sip our drinks here. The booths look so cute to sit and hang out, but we had to get going. Maybe next time. Next time I am going to be daring and step out of my comfort zone and try the blueberry pancake latte and maybe one of their filipino inspired ones like the bibingka or turon. Wish there were more locations, but I will make an effort every time we are in Carmel Mountain to stop by! Thanks for the coffee!
