A cavernous loft, that house roasts its own single origin beans and blends. The espresso with Mexican chocolate, ya’ll… Damn!

It’s all about the beans at this farm-to-cup micro roaster. Using a lighter roasting process, the pour-overs are as smooth as silk.
Local Coffee Roaster with World Wide Recognition. -Laura Christine
Zumbar Coffee and Tea
You won’t find fancy coffee concoctions here, just the classics done really well! Pick up the Hummingbird Roast on your way out.
The espresso was strong, flavorful and absolutely perfect. I like to taste that crazy coffee goodness, not the frou-frou flavorings and junk that litter most coffee bars. – Louisa M
Caffe Calabria
Because nobody, no matter how hard they try, does coffee better than the Italians, Caffe Calabria is your best bet for an authentic shot of espresso.
The best coffee I’ve ever had in San Diego. They roast their own beans and I find them used at many other coffee shops locally. -Veronica

Holsem Coffee
An experimental coffee lab, try the Woods Mocha (maple syrup, nutmeg, sea salt, and house-made hazelnut milk), the Zaki Coffee (cardamom, cream and evaporated cane sugar) and the Le VIe en Rose cappuccino (rosewater, rose petal, honey and cardamom)
Totally in love with all the creative concoctions. – Vanessa Allen

If I could give a 6 star review I would for Better Buzz. Delicious coffee for those who enjoy lattes and sweeter variety pick me ups. – Rosie
Por Vida

For a little art with your buzz, hit up Por Vida for their horchata latte or cold brew.
This little coffee shop is filled more with art than coffee. They have about 5 drink options but you don’t need to look further than the horchata latte anyways! – Kristi Herrick

Pour-overs, french press and cold brews– it’s strong, good coffee!
