High Note Cafe

Always friendly staff and a perfect place to get a latte on the way into the office. The menu is great. Lunch and breakfast items to grab and go. Sit and relax at the windows or the tables. The view is amazing on a sunny clear day. I mean really, we live in San Diego, everyday is a beautiful day here!

Two words: Urban King! Located on the 12^th floor of the Symphony building or Lobby level of the Declan Suites Hotel just past the bar…
The best smoothie I have ever had in life!
Staff will take great care of you. Shout out to Steven for always having a warm smile. If you work in the Symphony building or live near by or are staying at the Declan. Please do yourself a favor and stop in. Don’t forget to look at the view. Amazing!

I came here to enjoy a latte and a view while reading a book. When I reached this location on the 12^th floor of the Symphony Towers, I felt a bit out of place. It is very corporate. with people wearing suits and professional attire (the website gave me a false impression that it was towards the casual side, and that the view of San Diego would be great. I was wrong). Then I thought, «Well, I am in downtown so it is to be expected that professional attire would be the norm» — I felt dumb then got over it.
Anyways, I tried the latte and I was a little disappointed. I think the preparation of it was harsher than it should be — tasted off, bitter entrance and finish, and didn’t have a good mouthfeel (not that it was super terrible). I was also disappointed with the presentation of it. It did, however, get the job done and I was caffeinated throughout the day.
Overall, it’s not a bad place for people who work around here. The décor was nice, clean-​cut design, and very modern. You do get a view — but don’t expect to see Coronado, since it’s a west-​facing view. I just wouldn’t go out of my way to come here.

Lovely staff. East gran and go menu for lunch and breakfast. Homemade croissants and delicious healthy salads. So excited this place is open!

It’s very exciting to finally have a new addition to my morning choices! I pass this café daily on the way to the elevator so it’s hard not to stop in and try something.
3 stars for the latte that was decent… they may increase with time. I like the cinnamon and chocolate powder options as well as the honey which is a nice change from just sugar & non-​sugar sweeteners!
The pre-​made salads and sandwiches are fresh! I’m hoping to try a smoothie soon. So far they carry tea, coffee, fresh baked pastries (yes, some right there on location), pre-​made items and smoothies.
The décor is super modern and clean. I love the green and brown combinations! So far the staff has been very kind and service was quick. It’s hard to review a newly started business because they are just getting their bearings so hopefully anyone else who reviews them will understand. Stay tuned for an update on smoothies!
