What a wonderful and unique cafe! The ambiance was excellent and there was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Robust selection of teas. Honestly might have had the best thai tea I've ever had in my entire life - very sweet, but also such a complicated and subtle flavor. I did manage to find an outlet - an entire extension chord in fact, which was awesome.
It so good to see a place in business as long as they have. I got the Vietnamese coffee for myself and a limoncello (cheesecake like) dessert for my hubby❣️He loved it and wanted to know when I was going back. They even sell wine by the glass. How unusual for a coffee/tea place. We'll be back❣️😜
I love the tea options available at Cafe Bassam, displayed in large glass canisters about the venue for you to smell each aroma and see the loose contents used to fill each tea bag within while selecting your choice. The ambiance is nostalgic with various antiques on display. I look forward to decompressing here after attending downtown events before heading home.
Amazing service! Bassam even recognized my friend that had moved away for several years and was back living in SD. It's a truly special space that you have to experience. My caramel latte was so delicious!!
I like that there was a lot of tea options that you can slowly browse before ordering. They also have a lot of drink choices, not just tea. Service was fast.
Not a lot of seatings available inside and most them are only single seats. But there are smaller tables and seatings outside.
The street decent parking at the meters.
Been here several times over the years, sad to hear they no longer serve food items. Why still have a food menu up though?
Beside that a relaxing and comfortable place to hang, the owners always chilling there and the baristas are nice ladies. Decent coffee, the real star is the vintage decor, cozy ambience , and Mediterranean offerings
Absolutely love this cafe, the staff is very nice & welcoming.
The tea is amazing we got the sage black tea & we loved it. The water was boiling hot & the tea concept is very unique. The ambiance has a nice vintage feel to it.
A cafe with a lot of character! The antique furniture in the cafe give it the vibe of somewhere Oscar Wilde would hang out. The glass jars of tea and other things like cinnamon that are scattered around can be opened and smelled too. This is a nice place to work with a nice big table near the counter. Our waitress was also nice and friendly
A very very impressive tea house, they curate some many different kinds of tea from all over the world. There’re many Chinese tea that I really remember but never seen at US before. I tried a rose tea which is quite nice. My husband had an espresso, it also tasted pretty nice.
We dropped by for coffee before the museums open in Balboa Park. This was our first time in this cafe and it was close to the park. The inside of the cafe had unique antique decorations. The front person was friendly. The coffee drinks were good.
