Idego Coffee - Poway, California

Shima

A hidden gem with nice coffee options. The service is fast and the price is reasonable compared to big name brands. I tried different ones before but trying the mocha for the first time, I could taste the creamy chocolate very well but it was not sweet or sour at all.

This is a hidden gem that shouldn’t be skipped in Poway. If you’re not into complicated over the top coffee themes this place is for you. My hot mocha and pumpkin spice was perfect topped with beautiful foam art. Owner is very nice and attentive

I was quite skeptical to go to this cafe as I rarely believe/trust a solid 5-star place - often paid reviews and too good to be true, but I was wrong about this place.

Low key coffee shop in shopping plaza that offers damn good coffee. Lattes were amazing and definitely deserved 5 stars.

Will be back tomorrow to try again and, if needed, adjust accordingly.

Amazing Coffee!
We were visiting from out of town and I wanted/needed a great cup of coffee. Preferred to support local and not get coffee from "that chain" 😊. We found this place based on reviews.
Some of THE BEST coffee I've ever had.
The shop is not pretentious. Simple and clean. If you want "foo foo" ambiance, go elsewhere. BUT...it's about the coffee right? Well, it should be anyway 😋.
There's seating inside and outside. While the pastry display isn't impressive, they are delicious!
But the coffee...is oh so amazing!! Perfect strength without any aftertaste or bitterness. I can't say that about other shops. I had a cappuccino and only wished I had gotten another. Loved it so much that I bought a bag of coffee to bring home with me. So very excited.
Don't be fooled by it's simple decor. The coffee and pastries are amazing and the service/friendliness is wonderful. #SupportLocal #AmazingCoffee

The coffee was good. But I'd encourage everyone else to get their coffee to go until they up their game on creating an inviting space.

I enjoyed the Mayan iced, it was really delicious. It was just the right amount of sweetness with a tiny bit of spice. It was also inexpensive relatively. Loved it! Makes me want to go back just to try another drink.

There was free wifi and chairs, but it wasn't cozy coffee shop vibes. No cute stickers or paraphernalia that you could get that made you feel like you belonged to a place.

The decor away from the coffee bar left a lot to be desired and the map painting needed another coat of paint. In general, the weight of the room felt off, and it was empty almost the whole morning I was there. Private can be nice, but not in this case. It felt like a hotel lobby or even like a yogurt shop, where you just want to get out. Everyone else who stopped in got their coffee to go. Thankfully, it wasn't a jaring space, or else I would have left. Just plain and I felt stuck-to-wall.

There were also a couple outdoor tables that looked shared with the burger joint and I did see an open outlet near one of the counters/walls for those hoping to keep their laptop charged. The bathroom was clean.

The service was quick and polite. Not friendly or conversational, but definitely not rude. It was good.

Coffee is delicious. The ambiance in the shop is lacking. Not exactly a, grab a girlfriend and catch up kinda place. But you will get spectacular coffee that you can take to the park or for a walk to enjoy..
there are some tables and seats inside but it’s mediocre.
Chocolate croissants are good- but the chocolate inside is never melted and usually hard still. I rather like it though, oddly.. that crunch of Chocolate… but I do enjoy a good melted croissant..

Vanilla latte is my fav. I like the cappuccino too! Cold brew is yum also!

The coffee and lattes are excellent. Some of the best flavor and smoothness around Poway or San Diego for that matter. Small locally owned shop that roast their own beans.

Paul the owner is always friendly and will customize your drink to what you want.

Their large has 4 shots of espresso which is much for me so he makes it half caff. so I am not too wired.

I love the spiced Mayan Mocha.
