The Forum Coffee House

What I liked was the location (close to everything, like discount tire and home depot), the funny names of drinks, good service, and they had cream in addition to half and half for my Americano. It was a little bit dark inside, and there were tables with people chatting, so this might be best for groups to study together (if able to tolerate the talking) or for solo workers who put on nice noise-cancelling headphones. Parking was not an issue in this location, but the turning and parking might be tight for some drivers.

I was at a home inspection on Mt. Alicante and asked the Seller for a local coffee spot. She immediately mentioned the Forum. The 2 women working up from were very nice and accommodating. I ordered an Americano and cinnamon roll. There were people inside chatting, tables outside too. The ambiance was cozy and not "corporate", if you catch my drift. American was delish.

This place is sooo good! I tried the matcha with Ube cold foam and a vanilla latte with ube cold foam. I like my coffee sweet so I got an extra pump of vanilla and it was perfect! The ube flavor was sweet and strong and paired perfectly with the latte. The matcha one was refreshing and well balanced! Im definitely going to be back for more! The watermelon Guava Tea is new for summer and SOOO good!

12-07-24 Looked up this place to see if it would be a nice cafe to go have coffee and hang out. Once we got to the parking lot, we found a space right away. While placing my orders, we scanned the shop to see if there was a table available for us. At first not a single indoor table to grab, we decided to check outdoor. We sat and waited for our order. While waiting for the server to call my name, I saw an empty table with a huge orange couch right near the cashier. I wasted no time to secure it. Ordered: -Rule 34 $9.90– sour cream spread on sourdough toast atop with smoked salmon and garnished with slices of fresh cucumber adorned with pickled sweet red onion and baby dill. All the ingredients combined well together. I completely enjoyed my snacks. -The Dreamers $6– refreshing, a slight flavor of cinnamon and loved that the sweetness was just right. This is a great place to hang out. Finding a table might take a while depending on the time of day.

This is one of my favorite spots when I'm at work. Close to UCSD and a great variety. Dubai chocolate croissant is amazing. Tried a few different drinks here and they have all been delicious. Good spot to go.

The KoKo was the best cold brew I've ever had! Nearly everything is made in house from syrups and milks/creams to the amazing looking pastries. We would have loved to try them all, but settled on a cardamom bun. An excellent choice! It was very busy, which is not surprising. We will look forward to the next time we can travel to San Diego. We'll definitely visit again!

This is probably one of my favorite coffee shops in San Diego! Where do I begin...well first let me say I have a very up and down relationship with coffee (body doesn't always react well to it 😞) but I LOVE COFFEE! And my absolute favorite coffee drink of all time happens to be sold here, The BB Code 👑. It's cold brew coffee with their house made banana milk 🤤. Now I can't always have it because it's cold brew and I get kind of jittery with too much caffeine 😆 but it is amazing! I get mine with chocolate sauce on the inside of the cup. I also like matcha and their orange creamsicle matcha is probably the best matcha drink I've ever had (unfortunately it's a seasonal drink) but hopefully they bring it back 🙏. They also bake all their pastries in house lots of unique flavors but everything I've ever tried has been great! Plus they always have a few gluten free/vegan options daily which my son loves (he's on a strict diet). And lastly the staff is super friendly, they always make you feel welcome. I love this place and always look forward to my Friday forum trip.

I love having this coffee shop in my community. I really don't like Starbucks and they are a dime a dozen around here. So nice to have a great local option! They always have really delicious treats and light food/fare options. I see a lot of people who come here to work or study (I think UCSD students mostly). Vibe is chill and enjoyable. I will say they get busy on weekend mornings. I've seen lines out the door. So, just be aware of that.

Forum Coffee is a coffee, tea, and pastry shop. AMBIANCE Lively/studious crowd filled up all the seats in the space SERVICE Order ahead of time online or at counter and pick up when your name is called. DRINK 5/5 Double Post Earthy ceremonial grade Matcha, floral rose, and citrusy earl grey tea are the perfect trio PARKING Plenty in lot

Ok, at best. This was the 2nd coffee joint for the day. Bestie said she needed a comfort coffee as we were out enjoying our girls day craft shopping. Forum Coffee was close and has a descent rating...we should have driven to Convoy area. For this price, we were disappointed. We got 1 Mochi Donut because it 'looked' interesting. Threw it away, we tasted it and it tasted raw, texture was like raw flour. Not like mochi, no chew to it either. Very grainy. Flavor very much tasted like uncooked raw dough. It tasted gross. We looked at each other like wtf is this. It was so bad, we needed it to be good for a sugar kick. I think I paid $6 or so for it too. I remember it wasn't cheap for a donut and a waste because it was inedible. My debugger coffee was really good. That's why I am giving them a 3 stars. This was the savior. Crunchy topping from the brûlée. Well balanced. Good coffee flavor, nice caffeine kick. Bestie got a latte as well, a cold one, she didn't even finish hers. Didn't go down well. Didn't taste good and made her stomach flip a few minutes after her first sip, which is really odd, not normal. We drink a lot of coffee from many different joints and never had one taste bad and do a number to the point where she only drank half. All in all, not coming back. Service wasn't even notable to come back for. Maybe they got high ratings due to purely being only coffee joint continently located in area? No thanks, I'd rather drive a few more miles to the heart of Convoy for something better, more worthy.

I have really really really tried to like this place but I can never finish my coffee --it's that bad. I think the best drink I've had from here was the pistachio latte but that only comes around once a year. I will say -the pastries are nice and all the employees seem kind. The coffee shop itself could use a good cleaning and furniture upgrade. I just really don't understand the hype. I think because it's the only coffee option in the area but it's just not good. I'm being generous with 3 stars....

SUPERB COFFEE. so so glad we went out of our way to eat to stop and try this place! I got the binary latte and my husband got the cold brew with banana milk and we both LOVED this place!

Breakfast at a coffee shop. Every morning we'd go to a different one. When we arrived several tables were already occupied and they were sitting against a wall that had a saying sprawled on most of it. We saw a print of a colorful Frenchie amongst their trinkets on display on a shelf. The pastry I ordered for hubs had the smoothest, perfectly autumn spiced cinnamon like pumpkin frosting- so good! Wish I had chosen that for myself as even the cake portion was moist. My cardamom bread on the other hand looked appealing as it appeared marbled but was hard and dry, the darker edges depicting a few minutes of perhaps being in the oven too long. Their beverages were good as it was a nice way to start our morning to be ready for our escapade to Tijuana.

Forum Coffee caught my eye for their interesting drink combinations. I really enjoyed the Double Post rose earl grey latte with matcha, a combination I've never seen before. It was delicious and floral, and half sweetness was about right for me. I should've asked for light ice though. However, the Binary Code latte with condensed milk and horchata was quite grainy, to the point where bits can get stuck in your throat. I wish I was still in the area to try their seasonal salted honey lavender matcha. Inside has a good amount of seating with lots of people doing work. If I lived in San Diego, I'd definitely be coming here often!

Visited Forum Coffee on a Sunday morning and it was packed. The line was out the door and never seemed to get shorter. It really took time for us to get to the front and place our order, but I think that helped the baristas keep up with the drink orders. The coffee shop is spacious inside, and there's lots of tables and seating. Their menu has creative drinks with fun computer coding names. My only frustration was that it's really difficult to read because of the font colors and background. I ordered an iced americano, which came out really fast given how crowded it was. It was smooth with good coffee flavor and wasn't overly bitter. My sister tried the BB code, but she said the banana flavor wasn't very prominent. Their pastries looked really good, and it was hard for us decide which one to try. We ended up getting the coconut purple potato bun, and it was reminiscent of Filipino pan de ube to me.

Okay coconut cream and caramel! Who knew they'd go so well with matcha! I am always on the quest for a quality matcha. Everyone and their mother is serving matcha, but I'm looking for either great quality (bright green in color, ceremonial matcha with rich flavor) or untraditional standout flavors (unique mix-ins that aren't too sweet, but provide the right taste combination with the matcha). This falls into the later. I don't usually frequent this area, but I wasn't far and have had it on my list for a while. I got the C++ and it was SO GOOD. The coconut cream is perfection and I'm not even a big coconut gal. The caramel is also such a treat. I was so impressed by this drink. One sip and I knew I was in trouble. I'll have to be making my way out here more frequently.

Based on most recent experiences, but previously was 5 stars... They got rid of the waffle breakfast options!!! It's so sad and now they only have bakery type items. Also, there's been a lot more mistakes with using alternative milk options when it's been specified in the order. In the most recent experience, when we pointed out that we saw them use cows milk instead of milk alternative due to lactose intolerance, there was resistance and rudeness by the staff when we asked for the drink to be remade. Super disappointing that the breakfast options and the quality, care, and friendliness have deteriorated.

I definitely enjoy Forum! I will say that if you're hoping to study for a bit, a place to sit and have an outlet is competitive but that's to be expected. I really like both their matcha and coffee options, especially since they have soy as a dairy alternative. Towards the end of the day, the music can be a little louder but with noise cancellation headphones you don't really notice. I'd say that if you're hoping to take a Zoom call though, you could take a step outside.

The BB code is my favorite coffee drink in San Diego! It's not too sweet and the banana flavor is light and enjoyable!! Service is always quick and folks are always friendly!!

This spot easily has some of the best coffee in San Diego! I got the pumpkin cold brew latte: perfectly balanced, not too bitter, not too sweet. You can really taste the quality and how much care they put into their drinks. Definitely my new go-to for cold brews. The service was great, too: our barista was incredibly kind and gracious. It made the experience feel that much more welcoming and friendly. The only downside is how crowded it gets, especially on Sunday mornings. It's clearly a favorite among college students, so finding a table can take a bit if you're planning to hang out or get some work done. Still, the coffee alone makes it worth the stop ... perhaps come early (or grab to-go) if you want to avoid the rush.

drinks were so unique and yummy, the sizing of the drinks were also good enough that i had so much. good cafe in sd to go-to for me !

I got the Salted honey lavender matcha for $10 and it just tastes like almond milk with a splash of sweetener :(

Forum is always one of the few go to coffee places when we come back down south! You absolutely can't go wrong with their classic cold brews like the fanatic. Prices of the coffees are steep. They changed up their menu and added some new drinks but my go to are always the classics! Service was great the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. There's not ever enough space here! It's always busy so I'd come early to grab a table if needed. I hope they expand one day because it's a great place to hang out and even study

This was my go to back in college. It seems to still be a great spot full of students and families. They don't have big tables anymore and have opted for smaller ones which I'd find it harder to work on, but people were still doing their thing. Their spring specials include an ube cream, so my friends and I got it! I got it with cold brew and they all got it with matcha. I had a sip of their matcha's and didn't find it particularly amazing. The matcha had a pre-packaged taste even though they use ceremonial uji. I LOVED it with my cold brew. It was the perfect amount of sweet and the cold brew was a bit on the sour end. Look how pretty.

Cute coffee shop to study at. All the tables inside were filled. We were able to snagged a table outside. We ordered the binary code and debugger. I asked for both to be hot but the binary code came out iced which we didn't mind. Binary code had an horchata taste but it was too sweet for me. The debugger had a good amount of sweetness to coffee ratio. Love the crème brûlée on top. Too bad there were no pastries for us to try. They were all sold out.

Good thing I ordered online because the line was long! Also this coffee shop is very spacious in the inside, but also pretty packed! All tables were practically filled lol. I saw my order on the counter and just grabbed it and go. I remembered there were so many pretty drinks they had on the menu, but Yelp recommended a cold brew. I got the BB code and my friends got the BB code, matcha latte, and london fog. So I only have my critiques on the BB code, which it was pretty good! The banana taste is pretty prominent, but I thought it was a bit too sweet for me. Although, I still enjoyed the drink overall. I wish the coffee was stronger too, but it's a pretty solid place.

Okay. Unfortunately I have a concussion so I couldn't drive to experience this place. Luckily they're on DoorDash! I was really craving matcha & I had been recommended this place before- so with no delivery fee I figured why not? Uhm, this easily my new favorite place to get matcha. Seeing they offered banana cream (my absolute favorite flavor) as an add-on, I knew I had to get it! So altogether it was a Large Iced Oatmilk Matcha Latte with banana cream. I just can't express how delicious this drink was! I will be back sooner than later. I had also ordered the Passion Fruit Bun, which unfortunately was out of stock, but was replaced with this Blueberry Basil Goat Cheese Bun! After warming it up in the air fryer, it was a perfect addition. I will be going in person soooon to get the matcha again and definitely to try more pastries!

I've actually came here three times since my 7 years ago review. I've written reviews for their Trouble Shooter, C++, and Avatar before but it's no longer posted for some reason. "Life happens, coffee helps... order online!" Well, today, we ordered for delivery as that is an option on their website. I went with their ~$6.50, Iced BB Code which is a cold brew coffee with house made banana milk and it's sweetened with brown sugar (banana milk contains dairy). It was so bad, I gagged when I took that first sip. I LOVE banana in coffee, but this one was not good. It had a bitter undertone and the aftertaste reminded me of Fritos. Fritos, to me, has always had a sour stinky sock/armpit vibe to it. That's what this had. The banana milk itself was a bit chunky, I thought it would be more smooth. My brother did order half sweet and said maybe they left out the brown sugar (would make sense because I don't taste brown sugar)--but I still feel like the combo should have been good even without brown sugar. So overall, I'm just disappointed with the execution of this drink. I personally would NOT recommend it. My brother ordered two other drinks. One of them was $6.00, The Dreamer, this is their house made blue chai latte with a blend of loose leaf black tea and spices, also sweetened with brown sugar. The taste of it was sweet & fragrant. But also quite thin and watery. I like my chai to be more on the creamy and more full bodied side. It was ok, but it could have been better. I wonder if it's maybe the blue portion that they added that made it so watery? It's not for me, but out of the 3 drinks, if I had to... I'd drink it. So, he also ordered a matcha & coconut milk drink. It was visually not appealing and from first glance I already knew it was going to be bad. To me, it tasted like watery grass. To him, it tasted like "dog water." The matcha settled on the bottom of the drink which was odd, so I recommended he mix it in hopes it would taste better. This is really not on par for the Forum Coffee because they used to make iced matcha drinks REALLY well. Overall, I'm really disappointed on how these drinks turned out because the Forum Coffee used to be a place I'd recommend to many people. And to see them go downhill like this is sad. I mean, perhaps it's better in person, but if they offer online ordering you'd think the drinks would be good too.

This place can get pretty busy, and for good reasons! I pop in here for their hazelnut lattes (iced with oat milk please) and [usually] for their selection of avocado toasts. However, I just learned today that they stopped serving avocado toasts to focus more on pastries. I'm a bit sad about it but I did try one of the pastries, and it was a delight! I had the Cheesy Tomato Pesto Bun and it was moist, flavorful, and had an even taste of cheese, tomato, and pesto! I'm certainly going back to try the other pastries! It has a decent level of noise, with music and people talking, but plenty of people are on their laptops working despite it all.

This place is good to study from and has a cute interior, and pretty good cold brews and unique tea type drinks, but is overpriced. At $7- $8 per drink without milk substitution I expect EXCEPTIONAL quality or at least real cups for dining in. The crème brûlée cappuccino always has super weak espresso. The service at the counter is also super "idgaf" energy and unkind. I find it kind of telling that the employees went to Philz for their own caffeine fix rather than at their own store. Just kinda odd in my opinion, unless they are doing a taste comparison. (see pic).

I went with my partner on a Sunday afternoon. The cafe has plenty of seating, and it appeared that plenty of people were getting work done and studying in there. There was no line. Staff were welcoming and professional. I got the Double Post matcha and my partner got the Avatar matcha. The earl grey in my drink was very strong, and it overpowered the matcha. It was also a little too sweet for my liking. The Avatar had a very strong cinnamon flavor that also overpowered the matcha. If the flavors were more balanced to enhance the matcha instead of be the primary flavor, we would have enjoyed our drinks more.

I've had a hit or miss experience the few times I've been here so the quality is never consistent for me to continue coming back. I've ordered their specialty coffee a couple times and those were good but the matcha is really watered down. The most recent visit, I ordered the Avatar which was a horchata matcha. I was honestly really excited bc I love horchata and thought this fusion drink was unique. I even ordered the large but maybe it was the sizing that made the drink watered down? Unfortunately, it tasted like cinnamon water with hints of matcha. When I finished half of the drink, it started tasting better but moreso watery milk with hints of matcha. I'm bummed out bc I really wanted to love this place but the inconsistency is a no for me.

their iced matcha latte was okay but a little overpriced for its quality! i got vanilla in it, and was pleasantly surprised to see that it had real flecks of vanilla bean! but it wasn't as fragrant as i would have hoped for. i would say it also tasted a bit watery

I've started coming back here after a long time since I'm closer to this are now, and it good to see the menu has expanded so much. I've tried a couple drinks, and my favorites are debugger, nice for a chilly morning, bb code, and c++. I've also tried dark web, but I expected a stronger mint flavor, and it was a bit watered down. The other drink I've tried are great, though. The c++ has a really strong coconut flavor which I favor. Plenty of seating, however, it gets busy in the morning. Came here on a weekday around 9 and managed to snag a table. On a Monday at 10am it was full and a barstool opened up right after we ordered. It does let up midday though, and we managed to get a table eventually. Come early or expect it to be packed in the am. I've had pastries both times, pretty good. We also had a salmon toast our first time, but didn't see the toast menu any longer our second visit, so wonder if they've gotten rid of them. Will be back to try some seasonal items!

I saw a bunch of great reviews on Yelp and I had to come, unfortunately it wasn't great. I ordered the BB coffee with caramel and my husband got the Troubleshooter. The coffee was very bitter, and they mainly offer blends. The BB had very little banana flavor and I didn't taste the caramel at all. The Troubleshooter was better, it was sweeter so it helped cover up the bitter espresso. As far as the service, the staff didn't greet us as we waited for them in front of the register. They were finishing orders and several staff members kept walking by the register and looking at us. Once we got our drinks there were no lids and when I asked the staff she didn't say anything and went to grab them. I worked in the service industry for years and it didn't feel great to be here for my first time very excited and to have the staff not be welcoming. People may argue that the service shouldn't matter if you're there for coffee but it's both that make your experience worth coming back.

Forum Coffee is a cute little coffee shop that offers plenty of caffeine-laden drinks and lots of seats for myself and my family during our weekend getaway to San Diego. They had plenty of pastries so that was nice. The latte is pretty standard and tastes great. We enjoyed the pick-me-up. One downside is they stopped offering waffles for their breakfast and I don't think they have any other food items except their bakery pastries. There's plenty of parking so no need to fight for parking. We got in and out pretty quickly. And there's lots of seating.

I love how inviting this place is, ill definitely be coming back. Its a great cafe to hang out and do some work. Even if your catching up with friends, this place is super inviting

I'll admit: I come here a lot more often than I probably should, but what can I say? The drinks are consistently good, and you can't go wrong with a lot of their menu staples. Service is always nice as well, especially on the weekends. My go-to drink is usually the "Double Post," which is such a lovely blend of rose, earl grey, and matcha. What I like about most of their drinks is that they manage to balance all the flavors really well, and nothing overpowers each other. The end result is always a smooth-tasting drink, both in texture and flavor. I will say, that recently, the flavor of this drink has been a little off, and I think it comes down to the syrup that they use. I suspect they might've changed the syrup since the drink now tastes a bit like a cleaning product... Since then, I've decided to order something different for once, and I've really come to enjoy "Reboot" (honey cinnamon latte), which I think is a classic. I'll occasionally order "The Dreamer" as well, which is a unique blend of English breakfast tea with cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and butterfly pea flower, which gives the drink its beautiful blue hue. Again, well-balanced flavors, with cinnamon at the forefront. It's a nice break from the more popular caffeinated beverages, but it's one of those drinks that I'd only order if I was craving its unique flavor. I've also tried "Geocache," but am personally not a huge fan of it, especially since I prefer the stronger flavor of jasmine tea that I've grown accustomed to from a traditional boba shop. I find this drink to be heavy on the taste of milk, with the jasmine and rose flavor taking a backseat. It just tastes like diluted jasmine milk tea with a hint of the rose syrup. They also introduce seasonal drinks every now and then, which can be pretty good as well. Their pastries and baked goods are a hit or miss. Of the ones I've tried, I really enjoyed their vegan peppermint donut, which was a seasonal item. Parking is usually easy to find, but the place is generally always packed as it's especially popular among college students. Tables get taken quickly, and the average person stays for at least an hour or two, if not more. I find myself having to take my drinks to-go most of the time. Despite the amount of patrons, it always manages to be relatively quiet since most busy themselves with their work.

NO FOOD FROM THE KITCHEN! 5 stars because it was clean, lots of tables and outlets, friendly staff, good coffee and the pastry I got was good. I'm writing this mostly to warn you there's no food from the kitchen. I have a ton of intolerances and always make a point to go places with a wide selection to avoid food that will essentially wreck me for a few days. I ended up getting a pastry anyway because I didn't have time to go elsewhere and get work done but otherwise, all is well!

We've been ordering coffee from The Forum for years now, and it never disappoints. They baristas are always so kind and make our order perfectly. Every Sunday we'll order on the app and it'll be ready for us by the time we walk in.

I visited Forum Coffee after hearing great things, and it definitely lived up to the hype! We tried the BB Code, which was very banana forward with a nice cold brew kick! I'd love to come back next time to try the Double Post. The space itself was super cute and seemed like a great spot to work or study. The staff was also really friendly! Definitely worth checking out!

Great cold brew! It looks like they have a ton of drink options to choose from. My friend got a matcha which she really enjoyed too. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty packed. Waited in line for about 15 min and there were a lot of people studying inside. Just something to keep in mind! Would still come back here and next time I'm looking forwards to trying one of their match drinks :)

Drinks? Okay. Place to work/study? Amazing. I've never really been a big fan of Forum's drinks, but I can definitely advocate for this being a great spot to get productive. They have ample seating options, although it does get filled up rather fast. Their hours (7AM- 7PM) are a lot more forgiving than most cafes in San Diego. I've found that so many inconveniently close midday or late afternoon. Not entirely ideal for those who work remotely or are students. Cozy cafe vibes, tons of seating, and later operating hours truly makes Forum a local hotspot. Drinks-wise, I've never been too impressed with the handful of times I've visited. I'm not a big fan of their matcha lattes- they weirdly taste very coconut-y to me. It's definitely not a milk thing since I always opt for oat. During my most recent visit, I decided to try something new and got their Passionfruit Colada- a creamy coconut latte with passionfruit syrup. Very tropical and pleasantly tart! Definitely enjoyed this unconventional fall seasonal drink.

Binary Code - tasty horchata latte. the coffee taste was good. I wish the horchata flavor was stronger, maybe having more cinnamon would help. Good service and didn't wait too long for my drink. Lots of seating in the dining area but when it's busy will fill up quick.

The croissant was really good. Just wish it wasn't so hard in the middle coffee was pretty good considering I don't drink coffee loved the vibes perfect spot if you have work or homework that needs to be done would recommend trying out. Cashiers are so welcoming and patient when I told them it was my first time visiting there location and recommended me these drinks .

The coffee is good here, but you can't just chill here to have a drink and catch up with a friend (at least in my experience). I usually come here on the weekend and it's ALWAYS crowded inside with no place to sit down. Each seat/table is taken with someone studying or reading, and I don't blame them since this is a great place for that. Word of advice: get here early so you can grab a seat. Bonus: there's plenty of parking in the back but you'll have to have someone open the door for you on the inside.

Forum is a great place to relax or get some studying done. There was a decent amount of students getting work done here when i went. The workers were really nice when i took my order. The matcha latte was okay. It looked better than it tasted. The matcha flavor was pretty weak, it tasted more like milk. There was a decent amount of parking in front of the shop, so this shouldnt be a worry.

The place is nice to do work at. I went here about 2-3 months ago and they had an ube matcha which was really goo but the last 2 time I came, the place is packed, the service is kinda bad and the drinks have all been bad. Sorry girl pls do better, not 4 stars.

This review is for studying spot: This is a hot spot to study for a coffee shop, especially because it closes a little later at 7pm compared to other coffee shops: the interior is a comfortable homey/cozy vibes which is nice for studying. Music is a bit on the louder side so bring headphones/earphones if that might disturb you! The service is really good, and good options for drinks and foods. Lots of places for working, however keep in mind it gets packed!! I came on a Tuesday mid-day and it was already so full, I was luckily able to snatch a seat on a couch but no table space left. There's a parking lot available so easy to find parking.

I love Forum Coffee! I've door dashed from them and gotten coffee in shop from them multiple times and have never been disappointed. I would have to say this is definitely in my top 3 for coffee shops in San Diego! Located near the intersection of Balboa Avenue and Genesee, Forum sits in the same center as places like Feng Cha. I don't think parking is an issue for the most part because this center doesn't attract as much traffic. Bonus, if you have a tesla, there's a supercharger in the lot. It's small, but it's there. I think there's like 6 chargers? The place itself is decent sized, has a good amount of seating and is pretty clean. It's definitely a good spot to get some work or studying done. But getting a table might be hard. We were there Saturday morning and all the tables were full already (that's a good sign though). I had no issues with service. All of the staff were super kind and had good customer service. They were all working hard and we were able to hear them communicate with each other on who's working on what or if anyone needed help, so it's nice to hear that they work as a team. Another thing that I really enjoy is that they recognize there usuals. They greeted a woman as soon as she walked in by her name and said "I'll be getting my usual." And staff knew right away what she meant. That was really nice to hear. My drink was good! I had the code green and it was yummy. It was a water based matcha, but I liked that the matcha taste wasn't watered away. It wasn't too sweet and heavy and I really liked that! My mom had "The Last Waffle" and it was definitely packed on! It was yummy and the beet sauce was interesting. I had the Rule 34, and that's my usual and it never disappoints. They're very generous with the salmon and the bread is never too heavy. They also bake their good fresh in the shop. We had a butter croissant and it was warm and flaky in all the right ways. I will confidently say I will be back. DoorDash or in person, I will definitely be ordering from the forum again. I was extremely satisfied and now my mom wants to go back. They have a good amount of stuff on their menu that I would like to try so you'll see me there again soon!

We visited Forum Coffee on a Saturday morning around 9am. Anticipating a crowd, my husband suggested we place an online order ahead of time and I'm so glad we did! About 15 minutes later, we arrived and our order was already set out and ready for pickup. I got a matcha latte and a Dubai chocolate croissant, and both were amazing. They use ceremonial grade matcha, and you can truly taste the difference. The latte was smooth, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, easily one of the best I've ever had. My husband couldn't stop raving about it after every sip. The croissant was equally impressive - fresh, flaky, and still warm with rich chocolate inside. The place was packed when we arrived, every table full and a line of 6-7 people but the vibe was energetic and inviting. Parking was super easy in the large plaza. All around, this has officially become my favorite spot for a matcha latte. Can't wait to come back!

They bake their baked goods in house!! Cafes that do this never fail to impress me. The cardamom bun is stellar-- be sure to have it warmed up. The matcha is the kind of matcha you know will be good before you try it because of its beautiful green color! Coffee is also very solid. Lots of seating and WiFi! All around impressed by the service and this adorable coffee shop.

I used to come here 2x a week for coffee and studying while at college as this is a perfect cafe. There is ample seating prefect for solo studying or with a partner and lots of charging stations + free wifi. I had to come back while visiting the city for a nostalgia factor and it did not disappoint! I ordered my usual BB Code which is cold brew with house made banana milk... the coffee itself is amazing but I don't remember the banana tasting a bit artificial. Otherwise it's a deliciously creamy drink! The menu here is extensive and unique so it's easy to find your favorite

This is a great coffee shop and study spot! I've been coming here for years and they have such a variety of fun specialty coffee and matcha drinks. Most recently, I got the Binary Code which really hit the spot when I was craving some strong espresso, hints of sweetness from condensed milk, and cinnamon notes from horchata. I'd recommend! The drinks usually come out fast and the baristas are always nice. This is also a cozy spot to study or get work done because Forum has solid wifi and plenty of outlets. Only thing is the inside is often packed and it can be hard swiping a spot to sit down since lots of people study here.

12-07-24 Looked up this place to see if it would be a nice cafe to go have coffee and hang out. Once we got to the parking lot, we found a space right away. While placing my orders, we scanned the shop to see if there was a table available for us. At first not a single indoor table to grab, we decided to check outdoor. We sat and waited for our order. While waiting for the server to call my name, I saw an empty table with a huge orange couch right near the cashier. I wasted no time to secure it. Ordered: -Rule 34 $9.90- sour cream spread on sourdough toast atop with smoked salmon and garnished with slices of fresh cucumber adorned with pickled sweet red onion and baby dill. All the ingredients combined well together. I completely enjoyed my snacks. -The Dreamers $6- refreshing, a slight flavor of cinnamon and loved that the sweetness was just right. This is a great place to hang out. Finding a table might take a while depending on the time of day.

The C++ (matcha with coconut cream and caramel) is SO good! I love the pronounced coconut taste. This drink is the reason for the 4 stars. The Avatar drink (matcha and horchata) was decent, but tasted a bit watery in my opinion. Matcha drinks should have a strong and rich flavor. Also props for using a reasonable amount of ice and for still filling the cup all the way even with a light ice modification. However, the Digital Detox is the worst avocado toast that I've had. I didn't like that the bread came untoasted and that it was multigrain. I thought the strawberries didn't go very well with the toast especially on top of the already sweet balsamic vinegar, and the excess black pepper was overpowering. Avocado is a pretty subtle flavor to begin with, and there were too many competing stronger flavors. Definitely skip the digital detox for sure.

A good study spot with unique drinks. I got the troubleshooter and although it was a little strong, it was really good. Inside: It's always crowded, but if you get a good spot along the wall, there's a good amount of outlets to use. I was there from 2pm-7pm to study and it was a good amount of ambiance to get work done. The music isn't too loud either.
