Pavaraga Espresso Bar, Bonita CA

Great little hidden gem here in Bonita. Love the authentic taste of the coffee! I had a lite version based on the recommendation and it’s fantastic. Definitely coming back here when I need my caffeine fix.

Coffee was fantastic and perfectly sweet/rich. The coffee was actually strong, almost reminiscent of Vietnamese iced coffee. Their flavors are distinctly Hawaiian and took me back to the islands.

The coffee is really good. I wish the atmosphere was more a vibe but still the best coffee.

The owners should know how bad this experience was today. Antithesis of a coffee shop. Uninviting, unwelcoming, unfriendly. No energy or effort to be pleasant from either the guy or the girl working there. The vibe is that they don't want to be there or care that we are there. I asked for a double shot of espresso with as little water as possible and the girl was very confused and gave me a drip coffee filled to the brim of the 14oz cup. And then both employees were completely apathetic when I said that's not what I asked for. The guy said, oh, we don't make espresso here. And that was it. They didn't offer any solution, just sort of stared at the cup. Wow. Zero customer service awareness.

I ordered hot regular coffee to go and I got a half cup of coffee. Sure I pay full price.
They don't have basic condiments for coffee (cream or sugar).

The coffee here is excellent! The menu is a lot but the people there are incredibly patient and helpful.

A great, Hawaiian style coffee shop located in beautiful Bonita. The coffees are rich and they have a great variety of flavors to try from. I recommend trying the iced coffee with half and half with Haupia flavoring.

Great coffee, but apparently if you like strong coffee called Wild you need to be there before they open to beat the cops whom are probably already waiting at the door to buy it all for the week. It’s delicious and NOTHING like Starbucks. You can also customize it as well. Please don’t expect the rapid 3-4 barista service because majority of the time there’s only one. Do keep in mind that great/delicious things take time. So be nice

Absolutely delicious and refreshing! The Kona dark coffee and coconut is amazing! The staff are friendly.

I usually go to place with more reviews but I'm glad I didn't this time bc this plaza in general is so awesome. The coffee however was beautiful, roasted perfect.

A great, local coffee shop in South Bay, San Diego. Love the Hawaiian style coffee choices that are available here. The service was great too and the cold coffee with Haupia sweetener was so delicious. I definitely will be coming back!

Nothing bad to say. If you love coffee you'll love it.
If you only drink Dunkin' maybe steer clear
THE strongest cup of coffee I've ever had by far (they have varying caffeine levels).
Everything is cold-brewed so its smooth. Just be careful if you get an iced coffee and down it‍.

I ordered online but it took about 30minutes for 2 drinks. I bought a sandwich too but they didn’t have it in stock and gave me the refund in cash. I got the white chocolate frappe and snicker frappe- not very good and doesn’t look how it looks on social media.

Man oh man oh man, this place is amazing! This was my first time here, so the staff was super helpful in walking me through the ordering process. I ended up getting the Pauhana blend with whole milk and haupia. They told me they could adjust it if need be, but that cup was perfect straight away. Fantastic balance of sweetness and acidity. I can't wait to come back and try some other blends.

So glad I stumbled upon this place! Service and coffee are both 5/5, I will definitely return when in the area

Really good coffee and great staff. Gets really packed sometimes, they really need to step up their online ordering system.

Extraordinary coffee. Awesome customer service. They specialize in cold brew and this isn’t regular cold brew coffee. This is authentic Hawaiian coffee beans. Pair this cold brew with Haupia… omg! A must try coffee gem located in Bonita.

Really yummy coffee! Staff was super friendly and the create your own menu was pretty cool. It was important to them that you enjoyed the drink and were very willing to make adjustments. I got a medium roast and it was very strong, just the way I like it, which is why depending on your preferences, different roasts are recommended.
