Holsem Coffee - San Diego

I highly recommend the L'Orange cappuccino. I never would have thought that orange and coffee would complement each other so well, but it really works! It's a wonderful place to bring your laptop or a book to study or read. I also tried a slice of the lemon poppy cake, and I loved it! If you're in North Park, this is definitely a spot worth visiting.

Holsem is a coffee shop for everyone. The staff behind the counter feel more like family than just employees. It mostly attracts a young crowd, and dogs are welcome, making it a friendly atmosphere. The interior is charmingly decorated, and the coffee is delicious. Treat yourself and visit this delightful spot!

So far, this is the best coffee I've found in San Diego! They serve my favorite oat milk (Califia). The ambiance is stylish, and there’s plenty of seating both inside and outside.

My friend recommended I try this place and grab a cheddar biscuit. Unfortunately, the biscuit is no longer sold here and they replaced it with a parmesan leek croissant. The croissant was OK I didn't love it, but could tell it was well made. The flavors just bored me (maybe I was too excited for a cheddar biscuit). To drink, I ordered the rose dusted vanilla latte and asked for it to be iced. This was so good!! The housemate vanilla syrup was such a good pairing with the rosewater. My partner got the Zaki cappuccino. It's described to have fresh mint and cardamom we were more excited about this than the rose latte, however there was no mint or cardamom flavor. It was boring and bland. The amount of foam was more than half so the drink didn't last too long anyways. I would come back for the rose latte and would have rated Holsem 5 stars if it weren't for the disappointing Zaki and croissant. It's a beautiful spot with ample indoor and outdoor seating.

Very nice, stylish coffee shop! As an interior designer it’s very important for me to go to nice places with good interiors,ambience, coffee and food. The interior was stylish! I loved cute blue outdoor furniture at their “patio” area. I also loved the quality of pastry (we got quinneman with blueberries and ginger) and Flat white.
