VideoKAUSHAL’S CORNER: Try The Banana Pudding Matcha At Cafe Alessie

This new breakfast spot in East Village opened up on Fifteenth Street to serve matcha, coffee and small bites

There’s a new breakfast spot in downtown San Diego’s East Village.

I love supporting family businesses and this one is named after the owner’s daughter, Alessie.

Cafe Alessie is known for its Banana Pudding Matcha, made with ceremonial-grade matcha. (I tried it for first time: Watch the video to see my reaction!)

All the sauces here are made fresh in-house. Alessie serves matcha, coffee and small bites, including tasty options like blueberry toast, pear ricotta toast, and look how fresh the avocado toast is! Loved the quinoa on top!

Alessie is open Tuesday through Sunday. For more information go to: AlessieSDSun
