The Forum Coffee House

12-07-24 Looked up this place to see if it would be a nice cafe to go have coffee and hang out. Once we got to the parking lot, we found a space right away. While placing my orders, we scanned the shop to see if there was a table available for us. At first not a single indoor table to grab, we decided to check outdoor. We sat and waited for our order. While waiting for the server to call my name, I saw an empty table with a huge orange couch right near the cashier. I wasted no time to secure it. Ordered: -Rule 34 $9.90– sour cream spread on sourdough toast atop with smoked salmon and garnished with slices of fresh cucumber adorned with pickled sweet red onion and baby dill. All the ingredients combined well together. I completely enjoyed my snacks. -The Dreamers $6– refreshing, a slight flavor of cinnamon and loved that the sweetness was just right. This is a great place to hang out. Finding a table might take a while depending on the time of day.

The Forum is a very popular coffee shop and hangout in Clairemont right across from the DMV, next door to Cotixan and Circle K. Pro tip for this spot is to utilize the online ordering system — the line can be quite long at times and it’s nice to skip the wait completely without any special online surcharges. I’ve tried a variety of drinks and pastries here, but I think I like their cold brew and lattes the most. There are plenty of variations, including classic options like vanilla, and interesting choices like Nutella. A lot of people do remote work here, so sometimes it can be hard to find a place to sit. But, if you come at odd times or very early, you can snag a spot and hunker down for a few hours if you’re looking to study or work.

Visited this coffee shop in the morning and ordered a cappuccino, a hazelnut espresso croissant, and a cold brew. While the service was pleasant and the ambiance cozy, the overall experience fell a bit short of my expectations. The cappuccino and cold brew lacked the bold, rich flavors I was hoping for, and the croissant, though tasty, was a bit too sweet for my preference and less flaky than I anticipated. It seems like there’s potential here, and I hope to see improvements in the future!
