    Delicious cold brew! Oatmeal was great with banana and almonds mixed in, topped with chia seeds! Super filling and healthy way to start the day.

    I love it here! I had the gluten free with bacon and it was amazing! When I visit San Diego again I will most definitely be coming back to Influx!!!

    Coffee: cold brew, organic blend, mex mocha. Croissant melt, turkey 2, mozz 2. Cookie or a pastry are great for a small snack but if ur feeling like u need a little something extra try the pecan bar.

    Great place to hang out, surf the web, getting some work done and drink a great cup of coffee while you are there. And a great stuff as well. Really like this place.

    Never had a Vietnamese Coffee before. It's coffee + espresso + condensed milk for sweetness. It might be my new fab drink!

    The best place to order up a latte and park your laptop. Get there early for a spot inside. The croissants are big and buttery!

    A hipster cafe that has heart? It does exist. Excellent cappuccino, fresh pastries, and welcoming service...

    Amazing coffee, the organic blend doesn't leave an aftertaste! The goat is amazing, but holds nothing to the croissant melt 1, perfection!

    Might be a chain but solid choice. More Euro stying than the typical hipster concrete-metal-glass combo decor.

    Tasty bagels and average coffee. You can get additional coffee flavors just from looking at their Monin selection.

    Sit inside or away from the textile factory next door, as it periodically steam that rains down on your meal.

    Influx will only serve an 8oz cappuccino. To get a large one, you have to order three cappuccinos and then ask for a large cup. The owner is easily offended, so be careful.
