I went here yesterday with a friend and we had the best customer experience that I’ve ever had! She was super nice and offered to remake our drinks if they were not to our liking. She let us know the ins and outs of everything and just had conversations with us. On top of everything, the pricing and the taste of the drinks/food was incredible! I recommend!

Accessibility: there is a disabled parking spot in between this building and one next door, and from the parking lot to the store is paved, flat ground. The door to enter is a single pull door. Inside it is spacious as there are no tables for indoor dining currently. There are three small tables with moveable chairs for dining outside, under a covered tent. Experience: upon walking in, my girlfriend and I were greeted by the sweetest human; I believe it was the owner! We ordered two sandwiches, a water and an orange juice and everything tasted incredible! It was also very filling which was exciting! We sat out and enjoyed a lovely meal. The owner came to check on us and was truly the kindest; they even gave us a recommendation on a lake to check out nearby! We will definitely be coming back! Tips: dog friendly and LGBT+ friendly!

We just ordered from Liv's Kafe this morning for breakfast and it was amazing! Got the breakfast bagel, acai bowl, iced mocha, and organic drip coffee. Everything tasted so fresh, delicious, and flavorful. You can tell that Liv takes pride in her product! We will definitely be visiting again! Wonderful customer service. Glad to have such a great place in Vista.

I stopped by today and ordered the turkey ham & pepper jack panini and an acai bowl. Let me tell you... it was DELICIOUS! The bread is nicely pressed and it’s not hard, she put Pesto in there and a side of oranges which went so well with it! The acai bowl is pretty big and thick and the fruit is fresh! FANTASTIC customer service! I loved the vibe! Super welcoming and friendly and she took her time to explain her menu to me since it was my first time there. She has so many options and I’m definitely coming back to try more! I recommend this place 100% Go check it out!

We got the Avocado Toast on a everything bagel, it was so good that we got one to go. The lady working there was super nice and welcoming. We also got the mini tarts and they were incredible as well. Definitely worth the stop.

I was just here 5 minutes ago, and I can only say great things about this place! Not only is it a cozy spot to hangout out and study, but the customer service is also awesome! I ordered the Açaí smoothie with whipped cream on top; It was really good, I drank it so fast it didn’t even make it home, so I just included a picture of the finished cup LOL. I also ordered a chocolate cannoli and a slice of tiramisu, and they were both absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely become a regular, ESPECIALLY for their smoothies. :)

I am a cyclist and I stopped here to try their organic coffee. I was pleasantly surprised with the great taste of the coffee. I also ended up having an avocado and bacon bagel. It was very delicious . The lady and her mom were extremely customer oriented . Great coffee shop all the way around .
