What a hidden gem in Lemon Grove! This was my first time in, and I was blown away by both the quality and the service. I ordered the Peppermint Mocha and the Carrot Cake based on the recommendation of the barista, Jewls. She was incredibly personable and spot-on with her suggestions—the carrot cake is easily some of the best I've had. If you are looking for a great local coffee spot with a welcoming vibe and excellent treats, I highly recommend checking them out. I’ll definitely be back!"

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Absolutely incredible experience at Elevated — it is instantly clear why this is one of the top coffee shops on Yelp in the country! The coffee and products are phenomenal — made in house using quality ingredients — but what goes above and beyond is the service. We got to be served by the owner Tanya who was incredibly welcoming and helpful. She guided us through the menu, her mission, and her story. We also noticed a thoughtful pickup table covered with business cards and flyers for other local businesses. While eating (the breakfast sandwich and carrot cake are a must!), we saw customers being greeted by name, asked how their pets are doing, and other little details that showed how customers are more than just customers. It’s clear that Elevated is more than just a coffee shop, but a community staple in Lemon Grove. Already looking forward to my next visit!

This place is a hidden gem! Elevated Coffee has such a cute vibe, and the staff is so friendly especially the owner, Tanya. You can really tell they care about their customers and the overall experience. My coffee was delicious (I got an americano with cream and sugar), and I’ll absolutely be coming back. Thank you, Elevated Coffee & Confections team!
